Some more UFO stuff

[EndtheMadnessNow]

The alphabet soup of wild UFO gov groups.

Confusing USGOV acronyms for the "old UFO runaround": AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Identification Program), AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program), AOIMEXEC (Airborne Object Identification Management Executive Council), OUSD (I&S) (Office of Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security), UAPTF (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force), ODNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence), AOIMSG (Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group), NSC (Naval Space Command), NIM-A (National Intelligence Manager for Aviation, USAF), AFOSR (Air Force Office of Scientific Research), AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations), SMDC (U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command), SWC (Space Warfighting Center), STARCOM (U.S. Space Force Training and Readiness Command), ASRO (Anomaly Surveillance Resolution Office), AARO (All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office; @dod_aaro), SCU (Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies), NRO (National Reconnaissance Office), NURO (National Underwater Reconnaissance Office; "hidden younger brother" of NRO) and lastly ATPAC, the Aerial and Transmedium Phenomena Advisory Committee.

More counter-intel tactics to muddy the waters. Good luck synchronizing the game of diluting the narrative between all these departments in passing the buck. Project Blue Book redux.

Dulles preferred gentlemen spy craft and disliked technology in general, which was why he’d delegated control of the U-2 spy plane to Richard Bissell in the first place. As for the UFO problems, Dulles assigned that job to a former OSS colleague named Todos M. Odarenko. The UFO division was placed inside the physics office, which Odarenko ran. Almost immediately Odarenko “sought to have his division relieved of the responsibility for monitoring UFO reports,” according to a CIA monograph declassified in 1997. And yet the significance of UFOs to the CIA could not have had a higher national security concern.

The case file regarding unidentified flying objects that Allen Dulles had inherited from the Agency’s previous director, General Walter Bedell Smith was, and remains, one of the most top secret files in CIA history. Because it has yet to be declassified, there is no way of knowing how much information Bedell Smith shared with his successor.

By 1957, according to the CIA monograph “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs,” the U-2s accounted for more than half of all UFO sightings reported in the continental United States. Odarenko had been unsuccessful in his bid to be “relieved” of his UFO responsibilities and instead got to work creating CIA policy regarding UFOs. He sent a secret memo to the director of the Office of

Scientific Intelligence outlining how he believed the Agency should handle reports of UFOs.

“The concealment of CIA interest [in UFOs] contributed greatly to later charges of a CIA conspiracy and cover-up,” wrote Gerald K. Haines, the historian for the National Reconnaissance Office and someone who is often introduced as the CIA’s expert on the matter. But to get the UFO monkey off his back, Allen Dulles began a “psychological warfare” campaign of his own. When letters came in from concerned citizens about the sightings, the CIA’s policy was to ignore them. When letters came in from UFO groups, the CIA’s policy was to monitor the individuals in the group. When letters came in from congressmen or senators, such as the one from Ohio congressman Gordon Scherer in September of 1955, the CIA’s policy was to have Director Dulles write a polite note explaining that UFOs were a law enforcement problem and the CIA was specifically barred from enforcing the law.
