1952 Chadwell / Bedell-Smith CIA UFO Memo

The next time anyone - whether they are civilian, military or even a White House spokesperson - parrots the 'official' "No such objects - popularly referred to as "UFOs" - have flown through United States air space." bull puckey... just show them THIS:

(Excerpt from a 1952 internal CIA memo written by Mr. H.Marshall Chadwell, CIA Director of Scientific Intelligence to the then CIA Director, Walter Bedell-Smith. Subject: “Unidentified Flying Objects”. This memo was a direct result of the 1952 flood of UFO sightings across the United States, which included the widely-reported Washington D.C.. Capitol sightings.)

"(…) At this time the reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that must have immediate attention. (…) Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major US defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles." 1952 Chadwell / Bedell-Smith CIA UFO Memo

Did You Know That... In 1961, The U.S. Air Force Nearly Nuked North Carolina?

I'm sure you've heard that catchy little ditty:

(Sung to the tune of "Barbara Ann")

"Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb... ‪NorthCarolina‬"?!

Yes, it's True!

In 1961, the U.S. Air Force - accidentally - almost nuked North Carolina!

WTH?

The REAL Nuclear Threats To The World Are Russia and US.

Here's the link to the enlightening Guardian U.K. article (Enjoy!):

US Nearly Detonated Atomic Bomb Over North Carolina

If The U.S. Air Force Stopped Investigating UFOs in 1969, Then, What The Heck Is This...?

From 1947 until 1969, the United States Air Force was involved in the investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) under Project Blue Book (Initially called Project Sign, then Project Grudge).  Blue Book was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.  It was terminated on December 17, 1969.  Out of 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book a total of 701 cases remained "unidentified".

The conclusions of Project Blue Book are as follows: "(1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles."

The Air Force's statement goes on to say: "Since Project BLUE BOOK was closed, nothing has happened to indicate that the Air Force ought to resume investigating UFOS."

If the above official Air Force Statement is true, then...
Why did the following excerpt from Air Force Instruction 10-206 include instructions on how to report an unidentified flying object?

And, then... why did this entire section of Air Force Instruction 10-206 disappear from the Instruction Manual after The Huffington Post made an inquiry to the Air Force as to what these specific instructions meant?

Curiouser and curiouser...

Figure 5.1. Communications Instructions Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings (CIRVIS).
GUIDE FOR CIRVIS REPORTING
The CIRVIS report is a narrative report explaining the sighting. A specific format is not required.  Provide as much specific detail as possible to aid decision makers in responding to the sighting.  Include the following information, if possible, along with any other information, which may be significant:
1. CIRVIS report identification.
2. Identification of the object sighted.
a. For identifiable objects, include number and identification of the aircraft, vessel, missile, or
individuals seen.
b. For unidentifiable objects, give a description including shape, size (compared to a known object e.g., pea, silver dollar, baseball, basketball, fighter aircraft, or C-5), number and formation, any discernible features or details (e.g., color, trail or exhaust, sound).
c. Include any observed identification (e.g., insignia, lettering, flags).
3. The position of the object. Include the date and time (GMT) of the sighting. This can be indicated by any of the following methods:

The Guy Hottel Memo On Roswell UFO Crash / Recovery From FBI Vault

The "Guy Hottel Memo".
Discovered in 2011.  Dated March 22, 1950.
Source: The FBI Vault (Yes, that FBI.)
(F.Y.I. ~ This is the most-viewed document in the FBI Vault.)

"The subject of the memo was anything but ordinary. It related a story told to one of our agents (Guy Hottel) by a third party who said an Air Force investigator had reported that three “flying saucers” were recovered in New Mexico. The memo provided the following detail:

“They [the saucers] were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots.""

Although the above description matches the descriptions provided (in 1947) by witnesses at the time of the Roswell Incident (multiple recovered craft; 3-ft. tall "alien" bodies recovered; fabric recovered), the FBI denies this document proves anything.

Of course they deny the facts presented.

It's the freaking FBI.  They deny Everything.

It's part of their job description.

Check it out for yourselves.

12 Documents That Prove The U.S. Government Takes UFOs Seriously - Richard Dolan

UFOs...
One of my favorite subjects of research in Life.

In The X-Files, the poster in Fox Mulder's office read: "I Want To Believe".  At the time, so did I.

At this point... I Believe.  And, no, not that all UFOs are something "out-of-this-world".  But, rather that, yes, some (!) of them - unarguably - are.

Got Belief?
No?  Not sure?  Perhaps you haven't seen enough PROOF?

Well, "it would certainly be important if the government had documents showing that UFOs are truly something extraordinary, and even possibly alien. Especially after telling the public the opposite for years (decades)."

And, "Since belief in UFOs is a near-professional suicide in most respected circles, what would it mean if we discovered that, within the classified world, people (in positions of power) have taken it seriously for years (decades)?"

"It just so happens that they have. They do."

Author and historian, Richard Dolan, collected 12 authentic, official, U.S. Government documents that prove that they take UFOs very seriously.  There are many more, but these are the best ones.
