On November 28th, 2023, Josh Boswell, Chris Sharp, and Matt Ford published “CIA’s secret office has conducted UFO retrieval missions on at least NINE crash sites around the world, whistle-blowers reveal,” an article for The Daily Mail that reported on the role that the CIA’s Office of Global Access (OGA) allegedly played in UFO recoveries.
According to the article, among the 56 offices in the CIA, and the nine offices in its Science and Technology wing specifically, the OGA was established in 2003 to “integrate analysis, technology, and tradecraft to attack the most difficult targets, and to provide worldwide collection capability.” The OGA specializes in facilitating covert entry into and exit from anywhere globally where individuals would ordinarily be denied access, such as behind enemy lines. According to multiple sources, the article says, while the majority of missions conducted by the OGA deal with mundane and conventional retrieval operations – snatching up the downed tech of our earthly adversaries; that sort of thing – three sources to The Daily Mail, all of whom feared reprisals and so wished to remain anonymous, informed them that since it’s inception the OGA has also been coordinating UFO retrievals for the US from around the world. The office works in concert with Special Forces Operations – Delta Force, SEAL teams – to retrieve craft, be they landed or crashed. After the OGA acquires these UFOs or associated materials, they pass them to private aerospace government contractors. Here, the collected material can be subject to analysis while simultaneously being shielded from audits and oversights, and given the strict compartmentalization, many if not most involved in the analysis may not even realize the nature of what they are studying.
Reading the article, I was suddenly struck by the similarity between the activities of the OGA and the activities initially ascribed to the US Air Force’s 4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS). Created in 1952, the 4602nd was tasked with collecting downed foreign documents, crews, and hardware, and had over a dozen field units spread out all across the US. By the end of 1953 – and perhaps not coincidentally, just after the January 1953 Robertson Panel – the 4602nd was also assigned to investigate UFOs. As far as the public knew at the time, this was Blue Book’s job, but the 4602nd would now be the first to receive UFO reports, deal with those reports that concerned national security issues, and hand down the rest to Blue Book. In July of 1957, the unit changed names. No longer the 4602nd, it was reborn as the 1006th. It again died in April of 1960, now reincarnated as the 1127th USAF Activities Group. And as journalist Ross Coulthart wrote in his 2021 book, In Plain Sight, the efforts went on over time, under different titles:
“In 1961, an AISS operation named Project Moon Dust was tasked in a letter known as the ‘Betz Memo’ to ‘locate, recover and deliver descended foreign space vehicles.’ Another project, Operation Blue Fly, was proposed to deliver the recovered objects to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. In his 1990 book, Out There, the New York Times journalist Howard Blum asserted that the ‘foreign space vehicles’ the US Air Force sought included craft of extra-terrestrial origin and that Moon Dust was a kind of ‘UFO SWAT team’. The book described the secret team’s role as ‘field exploitation of unidentified flying objects, or known Soviet/Bloc aerospace vehicles, weapons systems, and/or residual components of such equipment.’ Surprisingly, declassified Project Blue Book and US Defense Intelligence Agency files do show the US was involved in a covert worldwide ‘UFO’ investigation and recovery program. Operation Moon Dust definitely involved retrieval of ‘foreign technology’ from other countries, but it also specifically sought ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ and ‘flying saucers’.”
At the request of the Air Force, a committee was established in 1966 to review the best of Blue Book. Based out of the University of Colorado, it comprised four psychologists, one astrogeologist, one assistant dean of a graduate school, and one physicist – the chairman, Edward Condon, which is why it is often referred to in UFO circles as The Condon Committee. Two years later, in 1968, after studying 59 UFO reports, the Condon Committee released their results, officially entitled, “Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects,” though it has since been far more popularly referred to as the Condon Report. In it’s summary, it states that “[n]o UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security”, though given that since 1953 UFO reports that were judged by the 4602nd and its reincarnations to be matters of national security never even fell into the hands of Blue Book, this conclusion is clearly bullshit. And if one needs further evidence that this is the case, there is the “Trick Memo” found by staff member Ray Craig, handed down to research associate Norman Levine, who in turn provided it to David Sanders, the principal investigator. This memo makes it clear that the whole thing was a ruse from the start.
Nonetheless, based on the recommendations of the Condon Report, Blue Book was terminated in 1969, which for years the US Government as a whole insisted was the end of its interest in the UFO topic. Despite this allegation, we have what is popularly known in UFO circles as “The Bolander Memo,” received through FOIA. Dated October 20, 1969 and signed by Brigadier General C.H. Bolander, it makes clear that, regardless of Blue Book’s closure, UFO reports would “continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedure designed for this purpose” and “reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect national security […] are not part of the Blue Book system.”
In other words, despite the fact that the Air Force’s public relations front was gone, behind the scenes the spirit of the 4602nd remained as embodied and active as ever – at least at that point. While this is the extent of my limited knowledge regarding the incarnations of these efforts, there are strong suggestions of its survival, if only in spirit, beyond 1969. And if there is any reason to think that spirit continued its clear tendency to reincarnate, there are these recent allegations regarding the CIA’s OGA, which seems to be tasked with executing the same damned activities, though they’ve evidently gotten better at it over the decades. According to The Daily Mail article, after all, one source claimed that the CIA has some sort of “system in place” that can detect cloaked UFOs, and regardless as to whether the “’non-human’ craft land, crash or are brought down to earth, special military units are sent to try to salvage the wreckage” and that at least nine such craft have been recovered, two of them entirely intact, the rest damaged.
There has been a little pushback here, however, and from one I’ve come to consider in-the-know. In a clip from Cuomo’s show on NewsNation on November 29th, in an interview he had with Representative Tim Burchett and Coulthart, Coulthart said:
“What I can tell you is the Office of Global Access is the office in the CIA that has been coordinating this. They have been doing crash-retrievals for many years. One of the things I do take issue with in The Daily Mail’s story today is that they say there’s just nine craft that have been recovered. My understanding is that there are considerably more. And as the article accurately reports, this is done in collaboration with JSOC, the Joint Operations Special Command, notably with special forces drawn primarily from the US Air Force. So yes, the article is accurate, and I’ve got it also confirmed independently by multiple senior intelligence sources.”
Concerning the number of UFO retrievals, he’s not alone in pointing out this discrepancy. In his recent Joe Rogan interview, David Grusch has stated the number of UFO retrievals are in the double-digits, and in his June 7th Substack article, “US Has 12 or More Alien Spacecraft, Say Military And Intelligence Contractors,” a title that I feel speaks for itself, journalist Micheal Shellenberger made the same claim.
This article in The Daily Mail curiously emerges just as the Schumer Amendment (officially known as The UAP Disclosure Act of 2023) to the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (FY24 NDAA) has passed in the Senate, but is currently receiving pushback in the House of Representatives. If passed, it will set up a means by which the US Government could, at the presidential level, collect, evaluate, and systematically disseminate over time a disclosure of what the government knows regarding NHIs and their technology to the American people. If the amendment does not pass, many attest, the government will be unable to control the narrative and disclosures through the media, private efforts, and potentially through global adversaries will be the means by which the truth will be delivered to the public.
If the amendment fails to pass, in other words, those in the know who have already spoken to the likes of David Grusch, Ross Coulthart, Micheal Shellenberger, and Congress will have no choice but to enlighten the public through other means, which means that regardless as to whether it’s a global adversary or efforts within the US that spill the beans, such an uncontrolled disclosure may be catastrophic – if not to the populace, at the very least to those Gatekeepers of the Big Secret that sit atop the compartmentalized silos, given safety only by the shadows they have thus far been capable of hiding in.
