STEIN1.TXT - Text file that was scanned and processed via OCR by
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Harvey Stewart [UFONET I] .
|
||
The file was run through the Microsoft Word 5.0 spell
|
||
checker following conversion so most errors in character
|
||
recognition should be ok. Now that I finally have OCR
|
||
software that works there should be lots of files on the
|
||
way so stay tuned.
|
||
|
||
Do you have important material that needs to be shared?
|
||
Contact us here at UFONET I and perhaps we can convert
|
||
your document to a text file for you using our OCR
|
||
software and hardware. You can contact either myself
|
||
Harvey Stewart or the Sysop of this board Tom Mickus
|
||
for details.

|

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,
|
||
|
||
Lance R. Cornine
|
||
Lieutenant Colonel, General Staff
|
||
Director of Counterintelligence
