Dear Mr. Steinman :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is in response to your letter of May 8, 1984, in
|
||
|
|
which you request information concerning "The Interplanetary
|
||
|
|
Phenomenon Unit of the Scientific and Technical Branch of
|
||
|
|
Army counterintelligence Directorate, DA. "Your letter was
|
||
|
|
received in this office on May 15, 1984 .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As you note in your letter, the so-called Interplanetary
|
||
|
|
Phenomenon Unit ( IPU ) was disestablished and, as far as we
|
||
|
|
are aware, all records, if any, Were transferred to the Air
|
||
|
|
Force in the late 1950's . The "unit was formed as an in-
|
||
|
|
house project purely as an interest item for the Assistant
|
||
|
|
Chief of Staff for Intelligence . It was never a "unit" in
|
||
|
|
the military sense, nor was it ever formally organized or
|
||
|
|
reportable, it had no investigative function, mission or
|
||
|
|
authority, and may not even have had any formal records at
|
||
|
|
all, It is only through institutional memory that any
|
||
|
|
recollection exists of this unit. We are therefore Unable
|
||
|
|
to answer your questions as to the exact purpose of the
|
||
|
|
unit, exactly when it was disestablished, or who was in command
|
||
|
|
this last would not apply in any case, as no one was
|
||
|
|
in command ". We have no records or documentation of any
|
||
|
|
kind on this unit, "Also, it is Very unlikely that there
|
||
|
|
was any relationship between xxxxxxxxxx and the IPU, but
|
||
|
|
only xxxxxxxxxxxxx could answer that question.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I regret that we are unable to be of more assistance in
|
||
|
|
this matter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sincerely,
|
||
|
|
|
||
