|
||
|
||
Dear Mr. Chadwick:
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your letter of 3 March 1986 and reply to my previous letter
|
||
on Project Aquarius. I understand from your letter that you intend to
|
||
abide strictly by the letter of the law in responses to FOIA requests. I
|
||
had not realized that this was the attitude of the NSA or I would not have
|
||
bothered you with questions in general. I have gotten the impression from
|
||
other sources that the NSA does not maintain a generally open attitude
|
||
toward the public, particularly where the subject of unidentified aerial
|
||
objects is involved, and while completely understand the need to restrict
|
||
some information what good is a country if its citizens are kept ignorant.
|
||
Personally I feel that assessing a $15,000 charge for information is
|
||
simply a convenient way to disuade requests.
|
||
|
||
Let me therefore rephrase my request as I would prefer to judge for myself
|
||
whether Aquarius has anything to do with my interests. Firstly, I do not
|
||
want to endanger this country or any of its intelligence gathering
|
||
sources. I am not a spy or a subversive, my father is a surgeon and Lt.
|
||
Colonel in the Air Force and I wouldn't want to harm his career.
|
||
Therefore I am requesting just a clean copy of the material NSA is
|
||
maintaining which describes what the goal of project Aquarius is. I am
|
||
not asking for all material you have but simply the initial forms, papers,
|
||
or letters, which initiated this project and those which outline its
|
||
purpose.
|
||
|
||
I cannot conceive that there should be anything but negligible costs to
|
||
photocopy these materials. This should be waived inasmuch as it should be
|
||
in the interest of the public to be aware of what their taxes are paying
|
||
for. But if NSA needs reimbursement of copying costs then please let me
|
||
know what the cost will be.
|
||
|
||
Sincerely,
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approximately 0300L),two USAF
|
||
security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside the back gate at
|
||
RAF Woodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have crashed or been force
|
||
down, they call for permission to go outside the gate to investigate.
|
||
The on-duty flight chief reponded and allowed three patrolmen to pro-
|
||
ceed on foot.The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object
|
||
in the forest.The object was described as being metalic in appearance
|
||
and triangular in shape, approximately two to three meters across the
|
||
base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire fo-
|
||
rest with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on
|
||
top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering
|
||
or on legs. As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered th-
|
||
rough the trees and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby
|
||
farm went into a frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately
|
||
an hour later near the back gate.
|
||
|
||
2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in diameter
|
||
were found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The foll-
|
||
owing night (29 Dec 80) the area was checked for radiation.Beta/Gamma
|
||
readings of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak reading in the
|
||
three depressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the
|
||
depressions. A nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07)readings on the side
|
||
of the tree toward the depressions.
|
||
|
||
3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the tree
|
||
. It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw off
|
||
glowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects
|
||
and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects
|
||
were noticed in the sky.Two objects to the north and one to the south
|
||
, all of which were about 10 degrees off the horizon. The objects
|
||
moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and displayed red, green and
|
||
blue lights. The objects to the north appeared to be elliptical thro-
|
||
ugh an 8-12 power lens. They then turned to full circles. The objects
|
||
to the north remained in the sky for an hour or more. The object to
|
||
the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a stream
|
||
of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the unde-
|
||
rsigned, witnessed the activities in paragraphs 2 and 3.

The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some time.
|

About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was

is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was

It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that

there is a plan under way to release some, if not all, of this material in

I hope we will not have to wait too much longer.

First, let me tell you that I have long ago give up acquiring access to

the so-called Blue Room at Wright-Patterson, as I have had one long
|
||
string of deials from chief after chief, so I have give up.
|

|

In answer to your questions, "one is essentially correct." I don't know
|
||
of anyone who has access to the "Blue Room," nor am I aware of its
|
||
contents and I am not aware of anything having been relocated. I can't
|
||
answer your question six, in fact, I can't find anyone who would answer
|
||
it.
|
||
|
||
To tell you the truth, Mr Graham, "this thing has gotten so highly
|
||
classified," ecen though I will admit there is a lot of it that has been
|
||
released, "it is just impossible to get anything on it."
|
||
|
||
I am returning your papers because I know they are of value to you.

MENORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT:
|
||
|
||
The following is the information we have from GHQ
|
||
at this mement regarding the air alarm over Los Angeles of
|
||
yesterday morning:
|
||
|
||
"From details available at this hour:
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Unidentified airplanes, other then American
|
||
Army or Navy planes, were probably over Los Angeles, and
|
||
were fired on by elements of the 37th CA Brigade ( AA )
|
||
between 3:12 and 4:15 AM. These units expended 1430
|
||
rounds of ammunition.
|
||
|
||
2. As many as fifteen airplanes may have
|
||
been involved, flying at various speeds from what is
|
||
officially reported as being very slow to as much
|
||
as 200 MPH and at elevations from 9000 to 18000 feet.
|
||
|
||
3. No bombs were dropped.
|
||
|
||
4. No casualties among our troops.
|
||
|
||
5. No planes were shot down.
|
||
|
||
6. No American Army or Navy planes were in action.
|
||
|
||
Investigation continuing. It seems reasonable to conclude
|
||
that if unidentified airplanes were involved they may have
|
||
been from commercial sources, operated by enemy agents for
|
||
purposes of spreeding alarm, disclosing location of antiair-
|
||
craft positions, and slowing production through blackout.
|
||
Such conclusion is supported by varying speed of operation and
|
||
the fact that no bombs were dropped.

MEMORANDUM TO THE CONTROLLER OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS:
|
||
|
||
For the past several years we have been engaged in the study
|
||
of various aspects of radio wave propagation. The vagaries of this
|
||
phenomenon have led us into the fields of aurora, cosmis radiation,
|
||
atmospheric radio-activity and geo-magnetism. In the case of
|
||
geo-magnetics our investigations have contributed little to our knowledge
|
||
of radio wave propagation as yet, but nevertheless have indicated several
|
||
avenues of investigation which may well be explored with profit. For
|
||
example, we are on the track of a means whereby the potential energy of
|
||
the earth's magnetic field may be abstracted and used.
|
||
|
||
On the basis of theoretical considerations a small and very
|
||
crude experimental unit was constructed approximately a year ago and
|
||
tested in our Standards Laboratory. The tests were essentially successful
|
||
in that sufficient energy was abstracted from the earth's field to operate
|
||
a voltmeter, approximately 50 milliwatts. Although this unit was far from
|
||
being self-sustaining, it nevertheless demonstrated the soundness of the
|
||
basic principles in a qualitative manner and provided useful data for the
|
||
design of a better unit.
|
||
|
||
The design has now been completed for a unit which should be
|
||
self-sustaining and in addition provide a small surplus of power. Such a
|
||
unit, in addition to functioning as a `pilot power plant' should be large
|
||
enough to permit the study of the various reaction forces which are
|
||
expected to develop.
|
||
|
||
We believe that we are on the track of something which may
|
||
well prove to be the introduction to a new technology. The existence of a
|
||
different technology is borne out by the investigations which are being
|
||
carried on at the present time in relation to flying saucers.
|
||
|
||
While in Washington attending the NARB Conference, two books
|
||
were released, one titled "Behind the Flying Saucer" by Frank Scully, and
|
||
the other "The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald Keyhoe. Both books
|
||
dealt mostly with the sightings of unidentified objects and both books
|
||
claim that flying objects were of extra-terrestrial origin and might well
|
||
be space ships

from another planet. Scully claimed that the preliminary studies of one
|
||
saucer which fell into the hands of the United States Government indicated
|
||
that they operated on some hitherto unknown magnetic principles. It
|
||
appeared to me that our own work in geo-magnetics might well be the
|
||
linkage between our technology and the technology by which the saucers are
|
||
designed and operated. If it is assumed that our geo-magnetic
|
||
investigations are in the right direction, the theory of operation of the
|
||
saucers becomes quite straight forward, with all observed features
|
||
explained qualitatively and quantitatively.
|
||
|
||
I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian Embassy staff
|
||
in Washington who were able to obtain for me the following information:
|
||
|
||
a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States
|
||
Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.
|
||
|
||
b. Flying saucers exist.
|
||
|
||
c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made
|
||
by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush.
|
||
|
||
d. The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be
|
||
of tremendous significance.
|
||
|
||
I was further informed that the United States authorities are
|
||
investigating along quite a nubmer of lines which might possibly be
|
||
related to the saucers such as mental phenomena and I gather that they are
|
||
not doing too well since they indicated that if Canada is doing anything
|
||
at all in geo-magnetics they would welcome a discussion with suitably
|
||
accredited Canadians.
|
||
|
||
While I am not yet in a position to say that we have solved
|
||
even the first problems in geo-magnetic energy release, I feel that the
|
||
correlation between our basic theory and the available information on
|
||
saucers checks too closely to be more coincidence. It is my honest
|
||
opinion that we are on the right track and are fairly close to at least
|
||
some of the answers.
|
||
|
||
Mr. Wright, Defence Research Board liaison officer at the
|
||
Canadian Embassy in Washington, was extremely anxious for me to get in
|
||
touch with Doctor Solandt, Chairman of the Defence Research Board, to
|
||
discuss with him future investigations along the line geo-magnetic energy
|
||
release.

I do not feel that we have as yet sufficient data to place before Defence
|
||
Research Board which would enable a program to be initiated within that
|
||
organization, but I do feel that further research is necessary and I
|
||
would prefer to see it done within the frame work of our own organization
|
||
with, of course, full co-operation and exchange of information with other
|
||
interested bodies.
|
||
|
||
I discussed this matter fully with Doctor Solandt, Chairman
|
||
of Defence Research Board, on November 20th and placed before him as much
|
||
information as I have been able to gather to date. Doctor Solandt agreed
|
||
that work on geo-magnetic energy should go forward as rapidly as possible
|
||
and offered full co-operation of his Board in providing laboratory
|
||
facilities, acquisition of necessary items of equipment, and specialized
|
||
personnel for incidental work in the project. I indicated to Doctor
|
||
Solandt that we would prefer to keep the project within the Department of
|
||
Transport for the time being until we have obtained sufficient information
|
||
to permit a complete assessment of the value of the work.
|
||
|
||
It is therefore recommended that a PROJECT be set up within
|
||
the frame work of this Section to study this problem and that the work be
|
||
carried on a part time basis until such time as sufficient tangible
|
||
results can be seen to warrant more definitive action. Cost of the
|
||
program in its initial stages are expected to be less than a few hundred
|
||
dollars and can be carried by our Radio Standards Lab appropriation.
|
||
|
||
Attached hereto is a draft of terms of reference for such a
|
||
project which, if authorized, will enable us to proceed with this
|
||
research work within our own organization.

||
plainable, and the public feeling is that we are holding
|
||
back information they should know about.
|
||
|
||
Due to a policy letter General Samford wrote this
|
||
Directorate a while back, this office has assumed motor-
|
||
ship of releases to the public. I would like to quote
|
||
the last sentence of General Samford's letter as it
|
||
pertains to publicity:
|
||
|
||
"The Directorate of Intelligence, USAF,
|
||
will resist consistently any idea that
|
||
a releasable story can be developed
|
||
about any intelligence activity, pro-
|
||
cess, or experience."
|
||
|
||
As you realize, there is a 10-20% area of unexplainable
|
||
objects, in this program. Also, for this area, we believe
|
||
General Samford's statement above applies, in that it deals
|
||
in an intelligence process performed by ATIC. Therefore,
|
||
we would like to offer you guidance in the publicity angle
|
||
as it pertains to your activity.
