JASON is a group of
elite scientific experts providing consultation services to the government.
The JASON study initiated by Pandolfi debunked a Chinese-American research
collaboration into the theory and application of "high frequency gravity waves"
(HFGW) for communication and surveillance.
Some theories of HFGW are loosely related to the esoteric research of UFO
propulsion systems, including the so-called Podkletnov effect, named after the
Russian experimentalist who briefly dazzled the aerospace industry, including
NASA, with claims of antigravity effects and gravity-like force beams.
Many of Pandolfi's former CIA associates have moved into important private
sector homeland security related positions, including Dr. Ruth David, Dr. John
Gannon, and Pandolfi's former mentor, Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green.
David, Gannon, and Green share membership on the DIA National Academy of Science
"Technology Insight Gauge Evaluate and Review" TIGER committee -- the same
committee alleged to have a "UFO" team, according to an email forwarded to me by
Dr. Jack Sarfatti, a physicist based in San Francisco.
The originator of the email forwarded by Sarfatti was someone named Mark, who
wrote:
"Ron P told me that you very likely know the names of all the members of the
National Academy of Science "UFO" TIGER team. If this is true, could you please
tell me who they are. I have come up with something that he wants briefed to
them."
The JASON HFGW study notes:
"We are especially grateful to Ronald Pandolfi and Mark Pesses of ODNI for their
continued help in arranging briefers and documentation."
Sarfatti claims to have been present at the Pandolfi MITRE JASON briefings.
Pandolfi's response to my inquiry about Sarfatti's contribution was typically
ambiguous.
"It is up to Jack [Sarfatti] whether to mention his participation in the JASON
meeting, but I do not recall Jack bringing up Chiao's work. Perhaps he mentioned
it during breaks or lunch."
I did mention Chiao after one of the talks, but Ron may not have been in the
room.
Dr. Raymond Chiao, a respected expert on quantum physics including high
frequency gravity wave research, was notably missing from the MITRE JASON study.
The MITRE JASON study was released to the public in October of 2008.
When the MITRE JASON study was released I forwarded the link to Dr. Chiao for
his comments.
Dr. Chiao responded to my email and cc his response to several persons in the
government, including email addresses at the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA).
Dr. Chiao's HFGW work is completely independent of the research debunked by the
MITRE JASON report.
I first blogged about the MITRE HFGW study a year before it was released and
distributed to the public by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), with
input from emails and multiple sources including Dan Smith.
A year later the release of the JASON report provided confirmation of my own
sources' information.
It is worth noting that Pandolfi's move from CIA to the MASINT Committee was
first reported (correctly) by Dan Smith at his Best Possible World blog, a
strange mixture of "end of the world" philosophy, loosely concealed spy talk,
and "exopolitics" (the movement by certain groups to politicize the expose' of
the government's alleged role in concealing knowledge of alien visitations from
the public, as well as claimed technological benefits from the alleged contact).
Dan Smith is the son of Dan Throop Smith, who was President Eisenhower's tax
advisor.
Smith remains a friend of Dr. Pandolfi, and often "interprets" Pandolfi's
activities at his blog, and more recently at the Internet's "Open Minds Forum."
Smith often recounts the tale of his first encounters with Pandolfi, when Ron
allegedly told Smith he was "going to Los Alamos to see the aliens."
The reemergence of extraterrestrial intelligence antics began shortly after
9/11.
I first reported on Kit Green, Hal Puthoff, and Ron Pandolfi's UFO interests
crossing paths with the DIA TIGER Committee in early 2006.
Later that same year accusations of DIA connections to UFO tales on the Internet
were squarely aimed at Dr. John Gannon of the TIGER committee, and this appears
to have triggered another unconventional response from Dr. Pandolfi.
Dr. Gannon is the highly respected former CIA Director for Intelligence, who was
also involved in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. Gannon
is currently with defense contractor BAE Systems, the parent of another UFO
propulsion effort called Project Greenglow.
Pandolfi has since moved on to another government office, based upon reports
from both Dan Smith and Mark Pesses of the ODNI MASINT. His new assignment
remains unknown.
The release of the MITRE JASON study appears intended to be an officially
sanctioned "outing" of Pandolfi. Names of active government officials are often
redacted from official documents.
When I was first made aware of Dr. Pandolfi's position at ODNI, Pandolfi
requested that I remove his association with DIA and MASINT from one of my
articles.
In addition to the testimony provided by Smith, an email was forwarded to me
from Pandolfi confirming that he was working out of an office operated by the
DIA. Some email messages sent by Pandolfi appeared to have originated from DIA
servers.
In 2006, an acting source to STARstream Research (STARpod.org) from the United
Kingdom visited with Smith, Ron Pandolfi and Pandolfi's wife Susan, who also
works for MITRE.
Pandolfi later reported to us that our source, the foreign national, had asked
"inappropriate questions" about his "real work."
Both our source and Mr. Dan Smith deny this.
One possibly sensitive topic of conversation may have been the CIA's 1970s
Glomar recovery operation. Detailed information concerning the Glomar "Project
Jennifer" recovery remains a closely held secret.
According to Mr. Smith, as a young college student Pandolfi was visited by "a
couple of suits" when he questioned the true nature of the Glomar operation,
based upon lab analysis of alleged Glomar samples provided by Pandolfi's uncle.
According to his (unclassified) CV, the former CIA Senior Analyst Dr.
Christopher "Kit" Green was also involved in the Glomar Explorer Project.
The Glomar Explorer was designed to covertly recover a sunken Soviet nuclear
submarine from the ocean floor.
Green's CV tells of his past role at CIA:
"Reporting to the Director of the Agency, Dr. Green was the Senior Division
Analyst with the Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence ... His medical
specialty is forensic medicine and toxicology, and his doctoral work in
neurophysiology concerned human biochemical functioning of the brain ... Dr.
Green has also been responsible for evaluations of other forensic issues such as
the use of novel techniques for assassination by Soviet and Bulgarian services
..."
The on-line version of one episode of the PBS Series "Secrets of the Dead" tells
the story of how Dr. Green solved the "umbrella assassination" mystery.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/previous_seasons/case_umbrella/interview.html
Dr. Green was also at the center of CIA sponsored research (conducted at the
Stanford Research Institute) to develop psychic intelligence collection against
the Soviet Union.
A key researcher at SRI was Dr. Hal Puthoff, whose private institute focuses on
UFO-related exotic energy production.
While at SRI, Puthoff and his associates were funded by various government
agencies with the goal of developing an operational "psychic spy" unit within
the Intelligence Community. That goal was effectively reached during the 1980s,
and managed by the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency).
The existence of the DIA umbrella for paranormal research was illegally reported
in a graphic chart broadcast over national television, and presumably passed to
Russia via satellite hook-up, during the 1988 TV special "UFO Cover-up Live."
A TOP SECRET document dated 1 May 1986, released by the CIA in 2003, and signed
by Leonard H. Perroots, Lt. General, USAF, Director, to the Deputy Secretary of
Defense states:
"Initial applications will be limited to tasks where psychoenergetics [a generic
term for various psychic skills] data complement information from other
intelligence collection sources ... Psychoenergetics data may also have
potential in a tip-off role (e.g. predict new terrorist activity)."
Shortly after 9/11 British author Jon Ronson interviewed psychic superstar Uri
Geller in London. According to Ronson, Uri Geller hinted that he had been
"reactivated" to use his psychic skills in the war on terror. When Ronson pushed
Geller for a name, Geller told him the man who had recalled his talents for
espionage was named "Ron."
Ronson's search for the mysterious "Ron" is told in his book THE MEN WHO STARE
AT GOATS, soon to be released in a fictionalized film adaptation starring George
Clooney.
Perroots, then acting Director of the DIA, continued:
"An Intelligence Community Task Coordinating Group has been established to
identify potential tasks for consideration in future SUN STREAK [codename for
this DIA program] operations. Members of this group are senior executives from
DIA, CIA, AIA, AF/IN, DNI, C3I and NSA."
This information was "Above Top Secret" in the sense that it was highly
compartmentalized which limited access on a strict "need to know" basis.
The TOP SECRET document clearly spells out involvement by a major segment of the
U.S. Intelligence Community, including CIA and NSA.
In 1995 the CIA was handed control of the DIA program which effectively killed
the DIA psychic operations. Some individuals, including Commander L.R. Bremseth
of the United States Navy, have speculated that CIA's killing of psychic warfare
operations was meant for public consumption, and that the real programs were
taken deeper into the black.
The fact that so much of the DIA program had been exposed by 1995 lends some
support to this idea.
As for Dr. Green, according to his CV, he left the CIA officially in March of
1985, prior to the operational unit and the IC Task Coordinating Group. However,
Green was a "Member of the Army Science Board 1985-1995" and continues to
consult on issues of national security.
The threads connecting Pandolfi, Green, Puthoff and the SRI psychic research,
and the allegations concerning our primary source asking "inappropriate
questions" superficially converge on the Glomar recovery effort, a UFO mystery
reported by a key DIA psychic, and the mysterious sinking of the Soviet K-129
nuclear submarine.
According to some rumored accounts, Ingo Swann, the man responsible for
developing the methodology used by DIA's psychic spies, may have identified a
saucer shaped UFO attacking the Soviet K-129 submarine.
The K-129 has been at the center of numerous conspiracies, the least of which is
the actual CIA recovery of parts of the vessel. One conspiracy theory places the
K-129 as ready to launch a nuclear armed missile at the United States as part of
a false flag operation.
UFOs are often reported near government nuclear weapons facilities. The sinking
of the K-129 by a flying saucer at the key moment just prior to unleashing
nuclear destruction against the United States fits neatly into the
ever-expanding UFO mythology of extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs.
It would soon be apparent that the "extraterrestrial presence" was tasking
members of the terrestrial-based AVIARY UFO group to spread a mind-seducing
"alien virus" over the Internet.
Washington D.C. was the target of this "Avian Viral Invasion" and the Office of
the President of the United States was in sight.
To be continued in part eleven.
