"OPREP-3" - A Classified US Military Reporting Channel For UFO Incidents? Part 1

  

While going through the officially declassified and release that relate to the spooky 1975 US/Canadian border Northern Tier “over flights”, as well as other 1970’s–era UFO cases, I noticed a specific term repeatedly appearing in the documents that piqued my interest. The term was “OPREP–3”, and it was sometimes followed by other terms like “PINNACLE”, “BEELINE” or “NAVY BLUE”. Upon further study of statements of American military doctrine – both old and new – it became quickly apparent that these terms refer to a specific type of “operational reporting” system used by the US Armed Force. “OPREP” means “Operational Report”, and “3” refers to a category meaning “Serious Event/Serious Incident”. There are dozens of available publications that detail the OPREP–3 process. One such publication, promulgated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), is an Instruction dated 1st of December, 1993, titled “Joint Reporting Structure Event and Incident Reports”. Page 1 establishes:

“The OPREP–3 reporting system… …is used by military units at any level of command to report significant events and incidents to the highest levels of command.”...

ICYMI: UFO "Disclosure" has already happened.

Regarding last night's discussion on UFO "Disclosure" on Fade To Black with Jimmy Church...

ICYMI:  "Disclosure" has already happened.

Although, sadly, due to the breathtaking ineptness and/or continuing collusion of the mainstream press with the denial-based powers-that-be (they all but ignored this ground=shaking, highly newsworthy event)... t'was not so much with a "BANG!" as with a whisper:

"PHOENIX, AZ — The United States Government has, for the first time ever, acknowledged by de facto the long-suspected reality of the UFO phenomenon. John Burroughs encountered a craft of unknown origin in England’s Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980 and suffered injury there from for which the Veterans Administration has now recognized by granting him full medical disability."
-- Attorney Pat Frascogna on February 22 at the press conference of the 2015 International UFO Congress:

Tom DeLonge's New Sekret Machines Project Takes a Serious Look at UFOs. - LA Weekly

"In early 2015, he (Tom DeLonge) gave a Paper Magazine interview... holding forth on Area 51, government mind control and forbidden engineering."

What happened to DeLonge afterwards reminded me of a quote from nuclear physicist, UFOlogist and author Stanton T. Friedman concerning UFO/UAP phenomena debunkers:

"If you can't attack the data, attack the person - it's easier."

And true to form, in the wake of that interview, a variety of media outlets have openly questioned DeLonge's sanity!

"DeLonge explains that UFOlogy is a "nonlinear topic" that includes physics and the sciences, as well as geopolitics, religion and cosmology. "Researching just one branch can take up several years of your life," he says."

Here's another (favorite) quote that comes to mind in this situation:

"Great Spirits are often met with violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein

Here's a link to a great article on the launch of UFODATA from author/UFO skeptic Leslie Kean on The Huffington Post:

(Very) Local SETI: The Launch of a New UFO Science

The Newly Announced UFODATA Project: Rigorous, Scientific UFO/UAP/AAP Detection and Tracking

(Finally!  If we can figure out what, exactly, comprises genuine UFO/UAP/AAP Phenomena...

Then, we can figure out / rule out where it might come from!)

The UFODATA Project was founded by a group of scientists in order "... to create a systematic, rigorous science of UFO phenomena.

Such a science is needed because of misplaced certainties on both sides of the UFO debate:

“Believers” who are convinced that UFOs are extraterrestrials, and “Skeptics” who are equally convinced that UFOs do not even exist.

Our own view is that humanity knows very little about the true nature of unexplained UFO reports, and that the only way to resolve this lack of understanding is through serious scientific study.

This is now possible for the first time in the history of UFO research as a result of an unprecedented convergence of high resolution digital camera technologies, off-the shelf scientific instrumentation, powerful low-cost computing platforms, and ubiquitous high-speed internet access."

(*Psssst!  UFODATA is looking for qualified volunteers!  Experienced scientists, engineers, researchers, legal, data analysis, fundraising, etc. interested in pursuing the science of anomalous aerial phenomena may apply here.)

If I were in contact with another civilization, I doubt that I'd want to meet each and every member or have them all be aware of my presence.

Some might be able to handle it and others might not.

Some might be happy with friendship and others might want to see what makes me tick.

I'd be very selective about whom I contacted.

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...

The U.K.'s Roswell: Crash at Aberystwyth / UFO Debris Retrieved (Video)

This is a fascinating documentary of a UFO crash retrieval case that I hadn't heard of before seeing this video.

"In January 1983, the sleepy Welsh village of Llanilar near Aberystwyth was buzzed by a strange craft, which hit trees, scattered shiny metal debris over four fields and flew off apparently unaffected."

This documentary is noteworthy because it presents some of the unusual pieces of debris recovered from tree branches on the site.

Also, it's made significantly more intriguing due to the fact that the M.O.D. - after gathering all the debris from ground level - returned with the Forest Service shortly afterwards and completely removed the forest at the site which included trees that had been damaged by the craft as it crashed through. They claimed they removed it due to "wind damage", although the Forest Service had never removed a forest for that reason prior to this incident.

Enjoy!

Debunk'd?; A Brief History Lesson And UFO Files: The Gray's Agenda (Video)

Mr. Joe "Debunk'd!" Nickel:
Re: Your dismissal of the 'leaked' Majestic 12 Documents:

A single cut-and-pasted signature on a single document does not preclude the veracity of any of the others.  And, even if most of the documents are be proven to be fakes, it's the ones that are genuine which have significance, not so much the fake ones.

Also (for those of whom cannot tolerate the ET hypothesis, as well as for those of whom cling to it and disregard all other possibilities), as pointed out - repeatedly - by the brilliant Jacques Vallee - human beings have been passing down and recording stories of observations of strange lights/objects in the skies and of abductions of individuals by non-human beings since ancient times.  Whether the events are perceived as religious/Angelic experiences; contact with Faeries/The Good People; with demons; or with ufonauts... although the names given to the objects and beings have changed numerous times over the centuries, their outward appearance, movement, behavior, related phenomena and physical traces left behind are remarkably the same.

Truth, Lies And The 2013 Citizens Hearing on UFO Disclosure

A brief clip calling attention to the ludicrous misrepresentations and the outright lies disseminated by the American press in their shameful reporting on the 2013 Citizens' Hearing on UFO Disclosure and of the United States Air Force in regards to its statements on UFOs and its defunct Project Blue Book.

For example:  If - as the USAF claims, ad nauseum - UFOs "... represent no threat to national security", then there is no justification for the USAF's ongoing refusal to declassify all documents pertaining to them (and without excessive redaction).

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."
(Credit: Richard Dolan.)

Check this out...

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.
