| As
reported in WIRED magazine's on-line blog "Danger Room," Gus
Russo, author of "Live By The Sword: The Secret War against
Castro and the Death of JFK," has independently confirmed that
members of the U.S. Government Intelligence Community are
actively involved with UFO researchers. The result of Russo's
investigation, "The Real X-Files: Is Uncle Sam a Closet
UFOolgist?" is the featured story at the Starstream Research web
site.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 24, 2007 -- An independent
investigation by noted author Gus Russo confirms that members of
the U.S. Government Intelligence Community are actively
interested in the Internet activities of UFO researchers, a
story first revealed in on-line intelligence reports issued by
Starstream Research. The result of Russo's investigation, "The
Real X-Files: Is Uncle Sam a Closet UFOolgist?" is the featured
story at the Starstream Research web site.
Russo is the author of four books and a
reporter/producer/writer for over one dozen US major network
television documentaries, including PBS and ABC News, as well as
films produced in Germany, the UK, France, Mexico and Japan.
Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Seymour Hersh has said, "Gus Russo
is as skilled at researching the facts as anyone I know --
brilliant."
According to Russo, "... there is certainly a very small
percentage government officials with intelligence clearance --
some active, some retired -- who are interested in the UFO
research community, if not UFOs themselves. Some of these men
are of the impression, rightly or wrongly, that a very few
individuals in government and the private sector are keeping the
big secret even from them."
Russo has refrained from releasing names of the parties
involved in his story. Starstream Research has confirmed sources
include former CIA DS&T analyst Dr. Ron Pandolfi, Dr.
Christopher Kit Green, a forensic scientist recently featured
for his past work with the CIA on the PBS series "Secrets of the
Dead," and Dr. Paul Murad of the DIA.
In addition to "The Real X-Files," a series of articles,
available to the public at
www.starstreamresearch.com support Russo's investigation.
The exclusive Starstream Research stories reveal the history of
U.S. Government interest in the paranormal and unexplained
phenomena, like UFOs. Copies of declassified government
documents are also available for viewing.
"To the Moon and Back, With Love" re-tells the story of Ingo
Swann, a psychic secretly tested by the CIA in the mid-1970's at
the Stanford Research Institute, adding additional documentation
from the DIA STAR GATE program. Swann claims to have been taken
from SRI by an unknown group to covertly observe a UFO over a
lake in Alaska.
U.K.-based phenomenologist Caryn Anscomb examines the
intersection of mythology and the Intelligence Community in a
series titled "Trickster Tales."
"Exempt from Legal Recourse" is an on-going investigation
that uncovered a trail of counterintelligence activities aimed
at members of the UFO community, involving allegations of an
extraterrestrial presence.
According to Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum, "No
one has actually confirmed the existence of an alien invasion,
but (government) sources suggest high ranking figures in the
intelligence community, including former Directors of Central
Intelligence, have discussed this issue, at least in private."
Bekkum added, "We have confirmed the existence of a Working
Group on UFO's, the same group first reported by Howard Blum in
his book, 'Out There'. We have an audio recording on file of a
former CIA official, Ron Pandolfi, stating that he had attended
the first meeting of the Working Group in the 1980's."
Caryn Anscomb, an associate of Starstream Research, verified
that the voice on the tape was most likely Dr. Pandolfi, the
same senior intelligence official she had been introduced to at
a private meeting in Washington, D.C. in 2006.
Explanations provided by Pandolfi for the existence of the
original working group include radar anomalies known as "Fastwalkers,"
which are sometimes ignored as noise in signal traces.
Bekkum also noted that a similar tale had been fed to Howard
Blum during the research phase of his book in the 1980s. Bekkum
commented that "Blum interpreted the passing of questionable
material as a test by an unknown intelligence source. Starstream
Research was alerted to the importance of Blum's out-of-print
book from comments Pandolfi made during a recorded phone
conversation, which originated with Armen Victorian, a
non-affiliated researcher based in the United Kingdom. It is
unknown if Dr. Pandolfi was aware that he had been recorded.
Given our close relationship to some of the same individuals, we
need to emphasize that information provided to us, even by
official sources, needs to be interpreted carefully."
Gus Russo's investigation uncovered the identities of the UFO
working group.
According to the Russo story, "Fortunately, four participants
in those gatherings have communicated with this writer, and one
in particular shared original paperwork from the meetings with
Caryn [Anscomb] , who graciously shared them with me."
Russo's story, "The Real X-Files: Is Uncle Sam a Closet
UFOlogist?" is available for download at the Starstream Research
website, along with exclusive supporting stories and
documentation.
