I shot at a UFO

Hi all,

I have read of cases from overseas where individuals have claimed to have used a gun to fire at UAP. However, until today, I had never come across such a reported occurrence here in Australia.

I was browsing through a global collection of data, compiled by US researcher Michael Swords and located an Australian sighting, sent to the USA, by the Australian Centre for UFO Studies.

Part of the report form

Document

What I found was an investigation report by R Delillo and R H Marx (reference number NA78072.) They interviewed one of the two witnesses on 12 June 1978.

Part of the investigation report

Mr G Cooke was then a 27 year old motor mechanic from Liverpool, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He was married with two children. At the time of the incident he was with a friend on a property near Orange, New South Wales, in June 1969. His statement reads:

"We went to Orange to go shooting. It was at a place about 10 miles out of town and fairly hilly and very rocky, with large boulders six feet in diameter and a few trees.It was a grazing property but we were on a slope which was above the area used for grazing. We had been out for quite a while, about 3 hours.

We were going up a hill which was fairly steep in a four wheel drive vehicle and were getting no further. My friend and I got out of the vehicle and were standing around it discussing what to do when we noticed a light in the sky.

We were about half way up the hill, that is about 200 feet from the bottom of the hill and there was another hill opposite us with a creek in between the two hills.

Sketch of the scene

The light was above the hill opposite us.It appeared to be like the headlights of an aircraft but it was moving very, very slowly towards us. I didn't take any notice of it thinking it was an aircraft.

After a couple of minutes it seemed to be at a point above the opposite hill about 50 feet above the tree line on top of the hill. It then began to move slowly down the front of the hill. We then turned our car headlights off because we didn't know what might happen. We could tell its position because the light lit up the tree tops in an area directly below it. The light appeared to reflect off the leaves in the tops of the trees but did not illuminate the ground below the trees.

At this stage we thought it might be a helicopter but there was absolute silence. After about 3 or 4 minutes it reached a point level with us on the opposite hill and came to a stop. It looked just like the headlight of a car but lacked the distinct beam of a car headlight. It was very bright, with the colour of a quartz halogen headlight.Very white and gave the impression of being slightly larger than a car headlight.

We didn't know what to do and were beginning to feel uncomfortable. It was still about 50 feet above the trees and we could estimate the distance since the hill was behind it. My friend said "Oh blow it" and picked up a rifle and fired at it. As soon as he fired the shot the light went out. He used a 243 rifle and was a pretty good shot. The light left a brief after image for about 2-3 seconds. After half a minute we trained spotlights all over the hill but could not see anything. We went immediately home.

We discussed the event that night and couldn't sleep well for we had no idea what it could have been and were afraid it might have been a fellow with a torch. We went back the next morning and spent a couple of hours searching the hill for any signs; vehicle tracks; footprints; anything, but found nothing. It had been raining the night before the incident so if anyone had been there they would have left tracks in the very soggy ground.

To this day I have no idea what it could have been."

A second shooting incident

Intrigued by the above account I did a search of my Australian newspaper clipping collection, scouring them for any such accounts. To my surprise, I found details of a second shooting incident.

The page one head-lines of an uncited Sydney newspaper, dated Monday 7 May 1979 were:

Page two of the story

"Shots fired as UFO panics town."

"A local civil servant fired a volley of shots at a UFO hovering over the West Australian town of Eucla.

And UFO fever has gripped this tiny town following sightings over the past three nights of a mystery red and silver object.

The 20 townspeople are in a whirl over the sightings but a spokesman for the RAAF said it was unlikely to send an aircraft to intercept the UFO.

A local agricultural officer who fired a high powered rifle at the UFO said "It zoomed off in a flash."

At lunchtime yesterday several people who sighted the cigar shaped shiny UFO which appeared to be moving towards the town from the South Australian border.

After the sighing the object veered away from Eucla but was spotted by several people throughout the afternoon.

The shots were fired at the object by Mr A Hardy, a permit control officer with the Department of Agriculture.

"I just wanted to see what would happen," Mr Hardy said.

"It zoomed off in a flash to a much greater height and sat there for three or four hours...

Eucla police believe it may be just a bunch of helium filled party balloons which escaped from a  dance at a nearby hotel..."

Ageing

They say our memory fades as we age. A check of this blog reveals that this second story featured in a previous blog from 2013.

Projects for 2018

Hi all,

As regular blog readers will be aware, I have just returned from a three month "holiday" from UAP research. Taking a step back from my usual hectic research pace, has been of great benefit. It has allowed me to take a look at just what future research projects I wish to focus on. Strangely, it was only yesterday that an interstate colleague asked me what research I intend to undertake in the coming months? Here is what I told them:

(1) An examination and analysis of the publicly available 'evidence' put forward so far by the To The Stars Academy, about the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

(2) Analysis of current Australian UAP sightings, as reported to Australian research groups, and through Face Book pages. It has been a couple of years now since Melbourne based researcher Paul Dean and I took a look at a year's worth of Australian sighting reports.

(3) An exploration of a further number of the radar/visual and other cases which took the interest of the late Professor James E McDonald. For the background to my interest in this, click here

(4) More in-depth "cold case" work on a limited number of classic Australian UAP cases. For a listing of some of my previous work in this area, click here.

(5) Further work on the electronic preservation of Australian UAP periodicals.

(6) Putting together a document of source material on Christopher "Kit" Canfield Green. This idea originated with the recent series of posts that Pauline Wilson wrote here on this blog. I have previously compiled dossiers on such individuals as Dr Richard Charles Niemtzow and Dr Richard M Neal

(7) A critical re-examination of the works of a number of well known, high profile, current Australian researchers, with a view to exploring the science behind their beliefs.

I will post the results of my research here on this blog.

Keith's "holiday" concludes

In a previous post dated 20 December 2017, I advised that I was taking a break from UAP research. I have now been absent from UAP research for just over three months, and am returning mentally refreshed. Each break I have taken, has allowed me the ability to pursue other interests during that time. I have renewed my long-term enjoyment of astronomy, meteorology, and SETI, which I will continue alongside my UAP research.

Now for a word about my co-blogger, Pauline Wilson. Pauline wishes me to advise readers that she is withdrawing from public UAP research, citing the lack of any real research efforts taking place here in Australia. You will have gathered from her posts since January, that after examining the current state of Australian UAP research, that she has become disillusioned with it. I fully understand her position, as many of her sentiments reflect my own views. I wish to thank her for her time in contributing to our joint blog, firstly in the late 2000's, and just recently. She has always preferred to work "in the shadows" and she is returning to that place.

I will shortly be recommencing contributing posts to this blog.

Christopher 'Kit' Green - some additional data

Dear Readers,

You will have noticed that I have been posting more frequently than my usual once a week schedule. The reason for this is that I was hit with an unseasonal dose of the flu, and have been off work for a while. But now I am on the road to recovery. However, this work "downtime" has not been wasted, as I have been able to spend more time researching the work of US researcher Kit Green.

I thought that I had brought together all the information available on the Internet, about Kit Green's interest in UFOs. I was wrong. Earlier today I was looking at his entry on LinkedIn and noticed that Green advises that he was the founder and CMO of "Enscion Corporation" between 2000 - present - 18 years.

An Internet search for information about Enscion Corporation brought me to a website for the firm. This told me that the firm advises other firms on potential risks for employees, in terms of "developing certain chronic conditions." One of the ways it does this is by the use of "genetic...information."

I then typed in "CMO Enscion" into a search engine, which brought up an odd page. The text of this page is shown below.

"Still Unknown: unknown object in right hand, see picture/image at bottom, unknown humming and white noise in right ear.

All testing was done at the Wright-Patterson AFB Medical Center for (RM Collins) except where noted. Eleven (11) different tests over 16 months.

Four (4) brain MRIs dated:

Bob: 

I called to just let you know that I planned on talking to Dr. John Balazs today (Dayton). I did. 

He is a good guy. He is well-versed in attempting to understand difficult - to -diagnose cases, especially hearing cases. He has, as you know, ruled out many possibilities for your noises, including cardiovascular, inner ear causes of tinnitus, issues associated with the hearing tests (he agrees they are normal in your case) and more. 

He is very willing to order the MRI to examine the matters I spoke about. He should be very willing now to refer you to have the MRI (this was done on, 03-13-012), with no further need for justification...he agrees it should be done.

Right arm and hand nerve conduction test dated: 
02-07-012: normal.
EEG dated:
04-25-012: no evidence of epilepsy.
Hypothesis: right hand object is causing the white noise/humming in right ear by going through the Auditory center of the brain then to right ear.

*Conclusions: No explanation for right hand object or white noise/humming in right ear. Dr Nagasawa, WP Neurologist asked on 18 April 2012, 'what do you think it is?' From outer space I said. He just nodded.
Teleportation and Humming... 

Teleportation, it's the space that moves. Unlike Star Trek, or like it in the 2009 movie, it's the space that carries the object or information instantaneously.
Albert Einstein called it, 'Spooky action at a distance.' And, it is spooky for some when 'they' instantly appear in your bedroom. 

Implant (in right hand, see picture below, taken 04-03-012, originally appeared, 01-24-011) would turn on every 10 seconds (October 9th and 10th, 2011) with a strong humming sensation felt. 

Right hand puffy area below ball bearing looking object (looks Metallic said the WP Neurologist) is a needle mark. See cropped image below showing more detail.

No EMF detected coming from the implant/object using a gauss meter, but a magnet does turn the object on.

We do primitive quantum teleportation in our laboratories, other species (reportedly 10,000 years ahead in some cases) have come a lot further it seems. The real teleportation, it's the space that moves. Unlike Star Trek or like it from the last movie, it's the space that carries the object or information instantaneously. The government calls it, 'hyper burst communications.'

What to make of it?

There is a Dr John Balazs of Dayton, Ohio. He is an ear, noise and throat specialist, which would fit in with some of the symptoms being reported by "Bob" the patient involved.

There is a Dr Glen Nagasawa, a neurologist, who practices in Dayton, Ohio. Again this would fit in with some of the symptoms being reported by "Bob" the patient. 

The Wright-Patterson AFB Medical Center is just east of Dayton, Ohio. 

R M Collins would appear to be Robert Michael Collins, an associate of former AFOSI special agent Richard C. Doty. It is known that Kit Green and Richard Doty were associates. 

There is mention of symptoms of an "...unknown object in right hand, see picture/image at bottom, unknown humming and white noise in right ear." This is suggestive of the description of a so called "implant" in an abductee.

The phrase "No EMF detected coming from the implant/object using a gauss meter, but a magnet does turn the object on" utilises the term "implant" and mentions no detectable EMF, plus mention of using a magnetic to turn the object on. This terminology is reminiscent of work by by Dr Roger Leir. Leir described implants as emitting radio waves in the FM band; and showing electromagnetic fields in excess of ten milligauss. 

This page of text was on the website called "ufoconspiracy" and has no dates later than 13 March 2012. The site features a book "UFOs: Exempt from Disclosure by Collins, and Doty.

Summary

The text appears to be a series of notes about an investigation into the nature of an unknown object in the hand of an individual, probably Robert Michael Collins himself, from the text of Green's email to "Bob." I believe this is confirmed when you visit this part of the website

Collins as editor for the site writes: "A question has come up from viewers, 'why do they always show up when you're outside? The best answer I think is what's in my right hand, see attached, and it hums and stings when you rotate any object over the top of it. No Emf measured."

Collins prints a photograph of a hand. This is the same photograph which appears in the "odd page" text. This confirms that the individual with the "implant" is none other than Robert Michael Collins, and Kit Green was in on the investigation. 

Kit Green in "Phenomena" - the book by Annie Jacobsen

Dear readers,

Further to my two latest posts, about Christopher (Kit) Canfield Green, I found a copy of Annie Jacobsen's 2017 published book "Phenomena" (Back Bay Books, New York.) As I suspected there is more here about Green's UAP work, than I had previously found.

In order not to paraphrase her words, the following is the complete text from pages 394-400. In between quoting these pages, I will intersperse my own comments and questions (in italics) generated in my mind by her reporting. 

Phenomena

To interview Kit Green, I travel to Detroit, where Green has returned to private practice and also serves at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, in Michigan. Over the past thirteen years, Dr.  Green has been a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Radiology at the Harper University Hospital, and the Detroit Medical Center, and served as the medical school's executive director for Emergent Technologies (i.e. forensic brain scanning applications). Green's career path is unusual for a former intelligence officer. He returned to medical practice after a long, meritorious government career. "These new positions afford access to state-of-the-art technology in high-field brain, MRI's, neuroradiology, and software," Green says. And he exploits this technology, he explains, in order to pursue an area of research that he had not shared publicly until our interviews for this book.

Comment 1

As it appears that Green commenced this line of work in 2005, this means that for 10 years, until Jacobsen interviewed him, that we were unaware of this work. One wonders if we did not have Jacobsen's interviews to go by, whether we would ever have heard of this work?

Green's identity as a CIA officer remained secret until 2007, when he appeared in an episode of the PBS series Secrets of the Dead. The episode, called "Umbrella Assassin," was a Cold War case file involving the murder of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, killed at a bus stop in England in 1978.

Comment 2

In fact,Christopher Green's involvement with the CIA, was revealed as early as 1992 by Armen Victorian [aka Henry Azadehdel] in the British UFO Magazine Vol. 11 No. 3 [Vallee, J. Forbidden Science Volume 2;notes, chapter seven, note 23.] However, I wouldn't expect Jacobsen to have known this. 

If we hadn't suspected Markov had been murdered by the KGB," says Green, "his death would have likely been written off as 'cause unknown,' or 'death from natural causes.' " But because Green and his CIA colleagues had a strong hypothesis to work from, they went the extra mile in the laboratory. "Our Intelligence services found a tiny plutonium-iridium pellet in Markov's leg and removed it. We prescribed specialized blood tests and identified ricin, which we looked for because of the victim's signs and symptoms. An assassin used a weapon disguised as an umbrella," says Green. For his work breaking this and other forensic medical cases over the next five years, Green was awarded the National Intelligence Medal.

After Green officially left the CIA in 1985, he worked for General Motor's Research labs, and was eventually promoted to Chief Technology Officer for Asia-Pacific. he has remained an active military and intelligence science advisor for the CIA and the Department of Defense, serving on more than twenty Defense science and advisory boards. His positions have included chairman of numerous National Academy of Sciences Boards and Studies; Fellow, American Academy of Forensic Sciences; founding member, Defense Intelligence Agency Technology Insight-Gauge-Evaluate, and Review Committee; chairman of the independent Science Panel for the Undersecretary of the Army for Operations Research and later for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Matters. He also recently served as chairperson of a nineteen-member National Research Council effort to examine the future of military-intelligence science and brain research over the next twenty years. Green's bonafides are clearly not lacking. In 2016 he was asked to join a classified science advisory board for James R. Clapper, director of National Intelligence (to whom the directors of all seventeen US intelligence agencies and organizations report) and the man who, in the 1990's, as director of DIA, criticized the anomalous mental phenomena programs calling them "just too far out at the leading edge of technology."

Kit Green finds advising the Defense Department and intelligence community stimulating and challenging, he says, but what interests him most is his work for eleven years now in his private practice. "I'm interested in the notion of people injured physically by anomalous events," Green tells me. "Often these events are perceived as [involving] unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, drones, high energy radio frequencies that confront people face-to-face and cannot be explained." In an earlier age, some UAP's were known as UFOs. Green does not agree with the use of that term "because it is imprecise," he says. But the nomenclature change helps to destigmatize the research. [Hilary Clinton spoke of UAPs while on the 2016 campaign trail.] The impetus of Green's work, he says, can be traced back to an unresolved component of the CIA's psychic research program in late 1974. The notion of people touched by anomalous events was a concept that Green was first confronted with when working with Uri Geller and the nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

"These individuals carried top-secret clearances that were as high as mine" says Green, including Q clearances for nuclear secrets. "And yet they told me they saw things that could not be easily explained. They reported seeing raven-like birds on their bedpost...orbs floating down the hallways of their homes. A disembodied arm hovering in the air. These individuals were not crazy," he says. To paranormalists, these close-contact sightings are known as close encounters. "The idea of close-encounters touches upon a lot of pathologies," says Green, "but not all encounters involve pathologies." This mystery plagued him for decades, he says. In 2005, he began working on a research project to address this enigma. he began creating "a structured database of individuals that were suffering enigmatic injuries, burns, skin lesions, cancers, diseases-and who also had face-to-face encounters with UAPs," says Green.

"We would comb through each narrative," remembers Green. "Compare statistics. Pare the information down. Pull out people with pathologies. What was left? Many very interesting cases. Cases that could not be easily explained." After two years of data analysis, in 2007, Green took his research project from academic to operational. "I began performing much pro bono work," he says, "forensic investigation and diagnosis of patients injured by multiply witnessed physical anomalous events with UAPs, drone, and other visible physical devices."

Green accepted his patients carefully. "They are all high-functioning individuals, many prodigious savants, most of whom carry a high security clearance," he says. "They are members of Special Forces, members of the intelligence community, employees of aerospace companies, officers in the military, guards of military bases, policemen. Often injuries take place of a military bivouac, [which is] an overnight mission at a secure location for the purpose of guarding, reconnaissance, or some kind of exploration...Common injuries are from something that is airborne [Something] that emits some kind of a light or a beam. Some orbs."

Green takes on patients who already have a thick physician case file, and whose doctors have been unable to  determine what injured them. "My patients were physically injured by something. They have signs on their body. Markings. Illness," he says. They agree to give Green access to their medical history and permission for him to speak with their other doctors. None have mental illness. "They and their physicians have exhausted many avenues and find themselves at the end of their rope," says Green. "These patients are by majority not prone to conspiracy or PTSD. This kind of thinking would interfere with their career path. They and usually their superiors come to me because my speciality is forensic medicine. I try to determine diagnosis from very little and often highly incomplete data." Like the assassinations he investigated while in the CIA.

Using the technology available to him. Green orders brain scans, specialized blood, DNA and endocrine test and compiles the results. At present he has more than one hundred active patients. His original hypothesis was that a majority of his patients had "been exposed to technology from black programs," he says, that is, advanced state-of-the-art, high-energy technologies developed in Special Access Programs. "Nonlethal weapons programs. Holograms. Cloaking devices. Drones. Twenty five percent of my patients die within five to seven years of my diagnosis, and I have no idea of how any programs I knew about years ago can do these things," Green says.

To advance his hypothesis, based on the demographics and high-functioning of his patients, Dr Green teamed up with the Nolan Lab at Stamford University, run by Garry Nolan, one of the world's leading research scientists specializing in genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. Nolan trained under the Nobel Prize-winning biologist David Baltimore, has published over 200 research papers, and holds twenty biotechnology patents. Age fifty-five, he has been honoured as one of the top twenty inventors at Stanford University. His research is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Cancer Institute and others. In 2012, Nolan was awarded the Teal Innovator Award from the Defense department, a $3.3 million grant for advanced cancer studies. The Nolan Lab is perhaps best known for pioneering advances in large-scale mapping of cellular features and human cells at an unprecedented level of detail. "We are building on technologies that are just coming into existence," Nolan told me in 2016. Dr Kit Green and his colleagues sought out Garry Nolan for help.

Garry P Nolan

For Garry P Nolan's curriculum vitae click here.

"I have met and worked with many of Kit's patients," Nolan confirms, "and I have looked deeply at the relevant medical data. These people were injured. I have seen the physiological consequences of the harm they've endured. He agrees with Kit Green that in many cases it looks as if it is an electromagnetic field of some sort." It has led to inflammation and other biomarkers in their bodies that can be seen on MRIs, tisue, blood. We are now working on both the gentics and epigenetic components," Nolan says. "I am relatively certain we are the only individuals in the field doing this." Using mapping technology the Nolan Lab is renowned for, technicians are mapping Green's patients' DNA and their immune systems. They are looking for patterns among the patients, using biological data to create an integrated theory.

Comment 3

Has Garry Nolan published anything about this joint UAP work with Green? I have not been able to find anything.

"All kinds of trauma can be picked up by the immune system," Nolan says. "Every event that happens to you is recorded by your immune system," which in turn creates a biological data-base of the self. "Every surgery or bee sting," he says, every incident of HIN1 flu, head cold, allergy or chicken pox "is all sensed and recorded by the immune system." With the technology that is emerging from the Nolan lab, doctors will likely soon be able to take a snapshot of a person's blood and read the historical record of a person's physiological life. Access to this kind of high technology nonsubjective biological data would have been impossible to imagine in any other age.

But what, I ask Garry Nolan, does this have to do with anomalous mental phenomena research? With ESP and PK? With Uri Geller and hallucinations experienced by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Laboratory? "We are also mapping [DNA and immune systems] people and their families who claims to be remote viewers  or have anomalous perception," Nolan confirms. For example, Joe McMoneagle is part of their research program; he provided them with a sample of his DNA, and the team is considering how to access the DNA of his sister, who was also allegedly a remote viewer, says Nolan. "Whether real, perceived or illusion, there appears to be a genetic determinant." And while Dr Green maintains that his patients' injuries may have come from high energy devices or their components, both Green and Nolan think there is more to it than that. "Some people [seem to] repeatedly attract the phenomena or the experiences," Nolan says. "They act like an antenna or are like lighthouses in the dark."

For some it might be a blessing, Nolan speculates. They are comfortable with these experiences and make it work in their lives (think Uri Geller, Joe McMoneagle, Angela Dellafiora, and Paul Smith). For others its a curse (for example, Green's injured patients and the Livermore nuclear scientists who quit their jobs). Nolan makes clear that his ideas are only hypotheses, but he explains that the raw data from which his hypotheses have been drawn are clear. "It's important to remember that DNA doe not invent stories," he says. Gene mapping and advanced single-cell analysis techniques reveal biological truths. "Imagine if you could understand how all this connects to mentation [ie mental activity], "Nolan says. Nolan says of claimed UAP encounters and ESP or PK abilities, "You could make a drug to block [the genetic aspect] for those who don't want it - or even enhance it for others."

In effect, Kit Green and Garry Nolan are searching for a gene for paranormality. Or as Green prefers to say, "The genomics of supernormality."

Comment 4

While detailed reviews of the book 'Phenomena' have appeared in such places as the Journal for Scientific Exploration, e.g. McMoneagle;  Marwaha; these pieces have concerned themselves with the remote viewing aspects of the book. I have yet to come across anyone who has reviewed the portions of the book concerning Green and Nolan's work on UAP experiencers. Have any readers come across such material? 

Comment 5

Have anyone other than Jacobsen provided accounts of Green and Nolan's UAP experiencer work? I have seen plenty of material citing Jacobsen's interviews, but nothing by anyone else.

Linda Moulton Howe and John Burroughs

A blog reader informed me that there was a series of three interviews between Linda Moulton Howe; John Burroughs and Annie Jacobsen, which I have now listened to. In addition there is a transcript available of the first interview in the series. 

In part of that transcript Jacobsen says "I had some information that I had, and I asked Green about it, and over time he - we developed a rapport in our ongoing hours and hours of interviews that apparently made him comfortable enough to discuss this program further with me. And I felt quite privileged to have this story because I was aware that no one else had been told at that length."

It would appear that no one else has reported on this aspect of Green's work since the book "Phenomena" appeared. If any blog readers are aware this is incorrect would they kindly point me in the direction of any such available material?

Kit Green - advancing the work of Dr Richard Charles Niemtzow

Dear readers,

In the previous post last week, I updated my knowledge of the UFO work of US researcher Christopher 'Kit' Canfield Green, between 1979 and 2005.

A more recent Green project

One of the more recent research projects I found Green to be engaged in, was a study related to the forensic investigation and diagnosis of individuals injured by anomalous events. 

I located additional information, dated 7 Jan 2018 on  the Above Top Secret website, which read:

This project involved compiling a structured database of individuals that were suffering enigmatic injuries, burns, skin lesions, cancer and diseases. The most significant factor being that all these people had also had 'face to face' encounters with UFO/UAPs. The analyses of which took some two years. It revealed some very interesting data. Although due to patient confidentiality a lot of it remains outside the public domain.

Many of Green's one hundred plus patients were military personnel or from aerospace industries. Their own search for treatment had been exhausted with little or no positive results from regular doctors. Dr Green worked on diagnosis from virtually nothing. He based his hypothesis on patients being exposed to some form of black ops technology such as Non-Lethal Weaponry, Holograms, Cloaking technology and drones. Brain scans, blood, DNA and endocrine tests were made.

However, one highly disturbing finding mentioned by Dr Green is that:
"Twenty five percent of my patients die within five to seven years of my diagnosis, and I have no idea of how any programs I knew about years ago can do these things. " (Source: Kit Green via the book 'Phenomenon' by Annie Jacobsen.)

Green later teamed up with Dr Garry Nolan a specialist in genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. Nolan agreed with Green. He thought patients had been exposed to an electromagnetic field leading to inflammation and other bio markers. 

These showed up in MRI, tissue and blood scans. Something medical technology had not previously been able to pinpoint. So called 'Experiencers of anomalous phenomena' often show certain biomarkers and DNA changes.

Dr Green has, in recent years, worked with Rendlesham Forest UFO witness John Burroughs. The results of which were successful treatment for heart damage and, after years of dispute, the Veterans' Association (VA) finally agreed to pay the treatment.

Interestingly John Burroughs claims he has a document proving that a weapon was developed off the back of what he encountered in Redlesham Forest. Although to date he has not released that publicly. While the reasons for treating these people are perfectly altruistic the data gleaned could also be vitally important to certain interested parties.

John Burroughs

I located an earlier post from this blog about Burroughs' records, referenced from a 2014 book co-authored by Burroughs. 

I then looked for further information about Green and Burroughs and found another Above Top Secret website thread, where Green had posted about this, dated 13 March 2015. 

"This is a reply to the entire thread...and will only address two issues that are common throughout many comments on this thread.

They are: Q#1...How can it be true that medical records such as John Burroughs could have been classified...Is this true? Is it sensible? What are the reasons? And, Q#2...what caused his injuries (and several others present over the encounter) with the odd Air Form that emitted the Broad Band NIEMR?

It is true, his records...about a thousand pages, and to this day, still many hundreds are in fact legally classified. In my 46 year career as a Medical Officer  and physician with the CIA [including as Staff officer Chief of Medical intelligence/Life Sciences Division, and Assistant National Intelligence Officer for Science and Technology] had, until a year or so ago...only seen  a handful of truly 'classified' medical records; those of Adolf Hitler, John Kennedy's autopsy and recently ...John Burroughs.

The reasons were different. When I was denied these records after many requests ( even thought I had held TS/SCI clearances for almost 50 years), I was able to quickly determine that the reasons were quite simple...medical records are usually not digital and are easily sequestered in multiple locations...and almost impossible to find (these were and remain except for recent years in hand copy, scanned and separated from FOIA access...and even mine.)

The reasons (I was told by current DOD and VA records staff that:inside the doctors' notes, the nursing notes, the specialists' notes are a myriad of references to Special Access Projects and the names of OTHER adjacent and ancillary programs and projects that cannot be disentangled, and which could uncover active and recent projects unrelated to Rendlesham. The reasons are not necessarily related to Rendlesham...and not all the connections relate to Rendlesham.

This makes some sense operationally, but no sense ethically...John was hurt, he needed care, then, often, and now. He had injuries we now understand are related to narrow RF bandwidth that only in some cases in the past five years have become linked to the specific etiology of cardiac and other injury he suffered. There are likely other persons and other injuries. 

So, Q#1...Yes, his records were classified. Some remain classified. The reasons are not entirely ethical. Thank god that a couple of senators had the guts to push, and push to 'disentangle' that which was legitimately classified from those records that were needed to make the right decision about injury sustained while on Active Duty... Period. It is/was true. It is sensible. It is not entirely the stuff to make us physicians very proud.

Q#2. Broad-band Non Ionizing Electromagnetic radiation caused the injuries. The RF is identified in a dozen classified and a half-dozen unclassified studies on cardiology and neurological injuries...not thousands of reports

Very few physicians even care about this arcane area of research...and fewer know about the injuries sustained from near-field (<100m) to humans. The data is sparse, it is not properly peer-reviewed, it is not understood, it is not the subject of current research. And that is the truth.

The decision that was made to grant medical disability to John was just. Some of the records will remain classified. Those of us in Military and Intelligence Medicine can be proud the right decision was finally, if belatedly made; we should remain both vigilant and ashamed that our profession remains improperly darkened, and we should bring it to the light where we can."

Broad-band NIER

What is broad-band non ionizing electromagnetic radiation.

"Ionizing radiation is radiation composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it. These include cosmic rays, gamma rays, x-rays and can be produced from radioisotopes, x-ray tubes and particle accelerators.

Exposure to ionizing radiation causes damage to living tissue, and can result in mutation, radiation sickness, cancer or death.

Non-ionizing radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules.

These include thermal radiation, radio waves, microwaves, infra-red, visible light and ultra violet light.

Health risks: Non ionizing radiation can produce non-mutagenic effects such as inciting thermal energy in biological tissue that can lead to burns... While the long term effects of high levels of non-ionising electromagnetic exposure are not well known, the diagram above shows that unless you were to stand directly in front of the roof mounted antenna, there would be little to no detectable radiation exposure."

Links to AATIP

In the New York Times article dated 17 December 2017, concerning the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), referring to Bigelow's part in the program, occurred the statement:

"Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical effects from encounters with the objects and examined them for any physiological changes."

On the Above Top Secret thread titled "Bigelow, UFOs, MUFON and 'Delonge' road to AATIP" dated January 2018, user 'mirageman' writes:

"UFO Experiencers studies

We have been told researchers studied people who were UAP 'experiencers' for physiological changes.

"...Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical effects from encounters with the objects and examined them for any physiological changes..."

I think we can guess who was involved in the studies of these experiencers."

Is the January 2018 ATS thread referring to Green when it says "I think we can guess who was involved in the studies of these experiencers?"

Back to the Burroughs case

For further reading take a look here which states that "Burroughs was granted full medical disability. However, they say his medical records still remain classified.' Burroughs heart issue is stated to have been 'a badly shredded anterior mitral valve."

In his own statement Burroughs asserts that he received "a settlement from the DOD and VA admitting I was injured in the line of duty in December of 1980."

However, he does not provide any actual copies of the VA's determination letters where we can plainly see for ourselves the connection between the events of the 1980 UK encounter at Rendlesham, and Burrough's heart problem. 

Burroughs did locate the following statement in Annex F, page 4, volume 2 of "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region" published December 2000 by the UK MOD.

"The well-reported Rendlesham Forest/Bentwaters event is an example where it might be postulated that several observers were probably exposed to UAP radiaition for longer than normal UAP sighting periods."

The previous words to the above were 'The linking of brain activity to UAP events, where the witness is presumably within the near field influences, is currently only partially understood, since assumptions must be made (in the absence of real values) as to the types of field being encountered. Within the UKADR these close encounters occur very few times a year.'

Dr Richard Charles Niemtzow

This project of Green's is awfully reminiscent of much earlier work undertaken by US researcher Richard Niemtzow. Between 1981 and 1991 Niemtzow ran 'Project UFOMD.' This was a network of doctors intensively studying UFO related injury cases.

Niemtzow published a widely reported appeal for such cases, in the UFO literature of the time, and spoke of looking at radiation caused UFO injuries.

Niemtzow studied the Cash-Landrum incident; six other cases from Texas; and the Dr 'X' case in France. The specific area of interest to both Niemtzow and shadowy French researchers was in the use of microwave radiation.

For a comprehensive article about the work undertaken by Niemtzow, published in October 2016 on this blog, click here.  

Annie Jacobsen

I am off to find a copy of "Phenomena" by Annie Jacobsen. I suspect that the paraphrasing of her work in the Above Top Secret thread, might not tell the whole story from her book. 

Christopher 'Kit' Canfield Green - further information

Dear readers,

The family has eaten too much chocolate over Easter and is rather hyperactive at the moment, myself included. Several packets of hot cross buns have also been consumed. 

I have been looking back over posts I wrote several years back, when this blog first started. I have always had a curiosity about the relationship between UFOs and intelligence agencies, as you will see from my early posts. It is clear from my reading that intelligence agencies in many countries have had a lengthy interest in the UFO phenomenon, for their own purposes.

Christopher 'Kit' Green

Seven years ago I wrote a series of blog posts about US researcher Christopher 'Kit' Canfield Green, who at one point worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA.). For those unaware of Kit Green's background in UFOs, you might care to read these before proceeding further, at the following links:

I thought it might be interesting to see what Green has been doing since I wrote that series of posts. 

CIA

Between 1969 and 1985, Green worked in the CIA, initially as an analyst, and later in various higher positions. A small part of his work was concerned with Remote Viewing Research, and UFOs, hence my interest in him.

Through the first two diaries of Jacques Vallee we know quite a lot about Green's UFO activities between 1974 and 1979, which I covered in detail in the above series of blog posts.

After leaving the CIA in 1985, Green went to work for General Motors Corporation, before returning to full time medical practice in 2005 (another source says 2002.)

Credentials

Green graduated from NorthWestern University in 1962, and received his PhD from the University of Colorado Medical School in 1969.

The following links provide information about Green's medical credentials.

Assistant Dean (Asia/Pacific) of the Wayne State School of Medicine.

Professor Chinese Academy of Sciences

Private practice.

Vallee's third diary

The third Vallee diary, not available when I wrote the six previous posts, covers the decade 1980-1989. The following diary entries mention Kit Green and add some very interesting insights into Kit's personal, as opposed to CIA interest, in UFOs. 

Thursday 28 February 1980

"...was back at the office in time to meet Kit. We spent the evening discussing the Ira Einhorn affair and cattle mutilations."

Sunday 20 July 1980

"...I saw Kit the first evening. He has determined that Ron Hubbard's son died of carbon dioxide poisoning.We discussed researcher Len Stringfield's repeated claims about Alien bodies captured by the government...Kit and [Tom] Deuley have access to reconnaissance satellite data. They can now check the presence of objects within 10 days of a sighting. ...Kit who somehow gets the data from GEPAN, has shown me two recent reports from Esterle. But they only consist in a hodge-podge of uninteresting statistics.

Kit ran an electrocardiogram on me, a new device being tested by his medical colleagues. He reassured me about my heart murmur. ..

After lunch I met with Kit again at his house in Reston. He gave me  a copy of Ken Rommel's report about mutilations, so I confronted him about the work..."

Wednesday 22 October 1980

"On my way through D.C. I spoke to Kit at length at the Marriott in Dulles. He told me that UFO contactee Valerie Ransone was in La Jolia after some sort of crisis. Kit seemed blase, fed up with government."

Sunday 22 February 1981

"Kit came to see us last night. We had dinner at Ming's and spoke of UFOs. Little has changed: news of contactee Valerie Ransone, Dr Puharich who now lives in Mexico, astronaut Gordon Cooper who has left Disney and Tom Bearden who believes the Russians are deploying a psychotronic system over radar waves. We spoke about Richard Niemtzow, an MD who is a friend of both Kit and Poher. ..

Our conversation turned to the new technology of remotely piloted vehicles. Kit confirmed the persistent rumours that his agency was working on small devices that could carry on reconnaissance missions..."

Monday 27 April 1981

"Richard Niemtzow is actively corresponding with Alaine Esterle, the current head of GEPAN. Richard believes that Kit doesn't have access to what the US military is really doing. After his latest trip to France Richard told Kit about GEPAN's interest in cooperating with  the US. Kit wrote an official memo that reached the level of the president's science adviser, but nothing happened..."

Saturday 26 September 1981

"Kit came to pick me up at Dulles. In Thailand recently he befriended a paramilitary guy, a mercenary. Over a long train journey, eating rice and drinking beer, the man told him about a job he'd done in the Midwest at the instigation of high level Pentagon people. The mission was to infiltrate a nuclear installation...We also spoke of the Cash Landrum case...Kit is afraid two of the witnesses may die from the experience. We discussed the possibility that a secret project existed somewhere, either in France or here. Kit remains skeptical..."

Thursday 15 October 1981

"Jim Salyer..I asked him if he worked for the same company as Kit. He said no, Kit is a civilian while Jim belongs to the DIA..."

Saturday 6 May 1984

"Back in California, I just had an important conversation with Kit, who requested my help in urging Hal Puthoff to leave SRI. "We're Hal's closest friends, we care for him, ' he told me. 'His project has a poor record at SRI but he would have a better future accepting the position Bill Church has offered him, starting a physics institute in Texas. Perhaps if we both urge him to move on he'll step away from a project that will soon reach a dead end." I promised to talk to Hal. Kit is working hard on a new medical device company called Hemokinetics, developing an inexpensive system to monitor blood pressure and heart arrythmia."

Sunday 16 March 1986

"On Friday Kit was in San Francisco, wearing the presidential Medal of Intelligence in his buttonhole. He received it from Reagan for his work on 'Yellow Rain' in Indochina. I had lunch with him in the financial district. We spoke of his friend Seagrave, of John Fowle's novels, and his old boss Ed Gregor."

Sunday 11 May 1986

"To Kit I intend to strong comments about the Secret Onion project..."

Sunday 18 May 1986

"Kit and I only had two hours together at Detroit airport. He shares my concerns about the Secret Onion, some of the participants seem increasingly willing to believe any wild rumour they pick up from ufologists...He refused to take part in the meetings as long as no budget had been allocated to give it an official status. He recommended that I stay on the sidelines..."

Saturday 7 March 1987

"Separately, Kit and Hal have assured me that plans for the Secret Onion were being revived in Washington...At a recent conference of forensic pathologists Kit heard disquieting reports about a sharp increase in human cases of ritual mutilations..."

Sunday 23 October 1988

"I went to Detroit Tuesday night. Kit was at the airport. We spoke for a long time; in his car, over dinner...at his new house...He assured me that there was indeed an MJ12, which had employed the list of scientists  quoted by the ufologists, including Menzel and that it had reported to Truman and Eisenhower. But that project had nothing to do with UFOs: it was a vast program to study impacts and possible reactions against a psychological warfare attack directed at the United States. ..."

Sunday 11 December 1988

"...a new discussion with Kit who has found a medical doctor allegedly involved in an actual alien autopsy. He heard of him through Dr Richard Neal...Kit has seen the Cover-up documentary and was impressed by the section on alien physiology..."

Sunday 29 January 1989

"Kit tells me he is getting some interesting mail: anonymous copies of AFOSI secret reports of near-landings by UFOs at various military bases. These papers, he says, are authentic...Kit has taken these papers to CIA specialists who are quietly following the field...

...Kit spent last Thursday in Washington for the inauguration of George H Bush and went to the White House to meet with the transition team. They gave him a choice of three positions, but "they didn't offer me the job I wanted," he says."

Saturday 15 April 1989

"...I met with Kit for a few hours in Virginia. He has an indirect contact with Doty, alias Falcon...He has provided information  -names, ranks and office numbers- which Kit will check out the next time he is at the Pentagon."

Monday 29 May 1989

"Kit confirms that Moore and Doty were in England seven years ago trying to sell a novel, the story of what has become known as MJ12.They couldn't get it published."

Sunday 30 July 1989

[Speaking of Valerie Ransone] "Kit, who took care of her medically, once told me that she was amazing; she knew four times as many people as the both of us did."

Thurday 21 September 1989

"Today I called Kit...and we ended up debating last night's Unsolved Mysteries television show that once again hyped the Roswell incident...Kit was struck by the fact that none of the people who claimed to have seen and carried cadavers mentioned any odors. In his forensic experience the stench is the overwhelming feature of all disaster sites. The most important thing Kit told me concerned his follow up of the information he had been given about a certain project at the Pentagon. 

"Either I have solved the problem, or I have found the cover story" he told me. He did go to the office he had been encouraged to visit.

"It's on a back corridor, in an area where the signs on the wall read ' your person is subject to search and seizure. Deadly force authorized.' There's an office that serves as the entrance to a suite of about 40 rooms over 3 floors, with a hospital unit at the bottom. A vertical column links these three floors and there is no other access. None of the personnel are listed in the Pentagon directory, except for one fellow, a Captain who appeared in 1983 with his correct function and it had nothing to do with UFOs..." "

Saturday 7 October 1989

"How typical of my friend Kit, that he would write to me on some fancy hotel stationery he picked up in Hong Kong on his way back from Bangkok to tell me the world is crazy, as if I didn't know it."

Monday 9 October 1989

"Some additional insights from Kit, whom I have just alerted to the Voronzeh landing: (i) In recent months Tass has run several such stories. He is surprised this one comes straight from AP. (ii) The President of Penn State, a highly respected scientist named Eric Walker, is said to have written letters to several people asking them to be quiet about his past role within MJ12. Kit is trying to get copies of these letters: which version of MJ12 is in question here? (iii) There's nothing new with Dr William Crowley of Lancaster, who is alleged to have performed autopsies on Alien bodies. Kit points out again that the man is not a pathologist...(v) Kit still fails to find any confirmation from the people he trusts within the system, but no one laughs at these questions any more...Kit told me that a friend of his had recently paid a visit to the secure facility on the fifth floor of the Pentagon. The signs about 'deadly force' have been removed. The project he reported, did what it was supposed to do: aerial coverage against certain types of threats. It has nothing to do with UFOs."

Thursday 14 December 1989

"Kit called me, eager to get together. "As you taught me along time ago, this is an information game" he said. He assured me he had now received confirmation 'from the inside' of an Alien presence. "That doesn't mean I believe it" he said "but it means I have to make a choice. And it relates to something you wrote." I am intrigued...There are several burning questions I would like to put to Kit: who was Valerie really working for? Who was paying Bill Moore to spy on ufologists..."

Since 1990

Little has been published about Green's UFO interests in this period 1990 - 2005, apart from his role in the Serpo hoax episode.  I quote part of this latter citation:

"I recently asked Dr Green why he and Hal have remained so involved in this subject matter (UFOs) for so many years - always in the very 'thick' of scams such as MJ12, Project Aquarius, Burisch, and Project Serpo; risking getting "outed" and giving the general public the impression that they were also an integral part of the scams perpetrated and distributed by their friend Rick Doty and others. His answer was eloquent, as always:

"In hindsight, even my foray into 'The Team of FIVE' to try and see if Anonymous (The first one) was really a sitting US Government person, 'leaking' some classified data I had seen snippets of before (unrelated to UFO's, actually), to support disclosure in the guise of fiction to protect psyches...contributed. I am both continuously ashamed I didn't see the risk, and better informed that fewer angels dance on pins than I thought. I believe in angels too. But my stupid complicity has changed my entire way of both operating, and viewing what is happening. 'Physician...Heal Thyself'?" "

Vallee

It is a great pity that Jacques Vallee has not yet published his diaries beyond 1989, as I suspect we would learn a lot more about Green from Vallee.

Post 2005

"From 2005 Dr. Green returned to private medicine and began working on a research project. This project involved compiling a structured database of individuals that were suffering enigmatic injuries, burns, skin lesions, cancer and diseases. The most significant factor being that all these people had also had 'face to face' encounters with UFO/UAPs. The analyses of which took some two years. It revealed some very interesting data. Although due to patient confidentiality a lot of it remains outside the public domain.

Many of Green's one hundred plus patients were military personnel or from aerospace industries. Their own search for treatment had been exhausted with little or no positive results from regular doctors. Dr Green worked on diagnosis from virtually nothing. He based his hypothesis on patients being exposed to some form of black ops technology such as Non-Lethal Weaponry, Holograms, Cloaking technology and drones. Brain scans, blood, DNA and endocrine tests were made.

However, one highly disturbing finding mentioned by Dr Green is that:
"Twenty five percent of my patients die within five to seven years of my diagnosis, and I have no idea of how any programs I knew about years ago can do these things. " (Source: Kit Green via the book 'Phenomenon' by Annie Jacobsen.)

Green later teamed up with Dr Garry Nolan a specialist in genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. Nolan agreed with Green. He thought patients had been exposed to an electromagnetic field leading to inflammation and other bio markers. 

These showed up in MRI, tissue and blood scans. Something medical technology had not previously been able to pinpoint. So called 'Experiencers of anomalous phenomena' often show certain biomarkers and DNA changes.

Dr Green has, in recent years, worked with Rendlesham Forest UFO witness John Burroughs. The results of which were successful treatment for heart damage and, after years of dispute, the Veterans' Association (VA) finally agreed to pay the treatment.

Interestingly John Burroughs claims he has a document proving that a weapon was developed off the back of what he encountered in Redlesham Forest. Although to date he has not released that publicly. While the reasons for treating these people are perfectly altruistic the data gleaned could also be vitally important to certain interested parties."
