(TS/ORCON) (PROWORD: DANCE) Contains 16 volumes of documented
information collected from the beginning of the Unite States
Investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOS) and
Identified Alien Crafts (IAC). The Project was originally
established in 1953, by order of President Eisenhower, under
control of NSC and MJ12. In 1966 the Project's name was changed
from Project Gleem to Project Aquarius. The Project was funded
by CIA confidential funds (non-appropriated). The Project was
originally classified SECRET but was upgraded to its present
classification in Dec 1969 after Project Blue Book was closed.
The purpose of Project Aquarius was to collect all scientific,
technological, medical and intelligence information from UFO/IAC
sightings, and contacts with alien life forms. This orderly file
of collected information has been used to advance the United
States Space Program.
(TS/ORCON) The proceeding briefing is an historical account of
the United States Government's investigation of Aerial
Phenomenas, Recovered Alien Aircrafts and Contacts with
Extraterrestrial Life Forms.

(TS/ORCON) In June of 1947, a civilian pilot flying over the
Cascade mountains of Washington State observed nine flying discs,
(later referred to as UFOS) The Commander, Air Force Technical
Intelligence Center of the then Army Air Forces became concerned
and order an inquiry.This was the beginning of the United
States involvement with the UFO investigations. In 1947 an
aircraft of extraterrestrial origin crashed in the desert of New
Mexico. The craft was recovered by the military, four Alien
(non-homo-sapiens) bodies were recovered in the wreckage. The
Aliens were found to be creatures not related to human beings
(Atch 1). In late 1949 another Alien aircraft crashed in the
United States and was recovered partially intact by the military.
One Alien of extraterrestrial origin survived the crash. The
surviving Alien was male and called itself, "EBE". The Alien was
thoroughly interregated by military intelligence personnel at a
base in New Mexico. The Alien's language was translated by means
of picturegraphs. It was learned the Alien came from a planet in
the Zeta Reticuli star system, approximately 40 light years from
Earth. EBE lived until Jun 16, 1952, when he died to an
unexplained illness. During the time period EBE was alive, he
provided valuable information regarding space technology, origins
of the Universe, and exobiological matters. Further data is
contained in Atch 2.

(TS/ORCON) The recovery of Alien aircrafts lead the United
States on an extensive investigation program to determine
whether these Aliens posed a direct threat to our national
security. In 1947, the newly created Air Force initiated a
program to investigate incidents involving UFOS. The program was
operated under three different code names; Grudge, Sign, and
finally Blue Book. The original mission of the Air Force program
was to collect and analyze all reported sightings or incidents
involving UFOs and determine whether the information could be
interrupted as having any bearing on the security of the United
States. Some information was evaluated with the idea of using
the gained data to advance our own space technology and future
space programs. 90 percent of the estimated 12,000 reports
analyzed by the Air Force, were considered hoaxes, explained
aerial phenomenas or natural astronomical objects. The other 10
percent were considered legitimate Alien sightings and/or
incidents.However, not all UFO sightings or incidents were
reported under the Air Force program. In 1953, Project Gleem was
initiated by order of President Eisenhower, who believed the UFOS
presented a threat to the national security of the United States.
Project Gleem, which became Project Aquarius in 1966, was a
parallel reporting system for UFO sightings and incidents.
Reports collected under Project Aquarius were considered actual
sightings of Alien aircrafts or contacts with Alien Life forms.
Most reports were made by reliable military and defense
department civilian personnel.

(TS/ORCON) In 1958 the United States recovered a third Alien
aircraft from the desert of Utah.The aircraft was in excellent
flying condition. The aircraft was apparently abandoned by the
Aliens for some unexplained reason, since no Alien Life forms
were found in or around the aircraft. The aircraft was
considered a technological marvel by United States Scientist.
However, the operating instrumentations of the aircraft were so
complex that our scientists could not interrupt their operation.
The aircraft was stored in a top security area and analyzed
throughout the years by our best aerospace scientists. The
United States gained a large volume of technological data from
the recovered Alien aircraft. A detailed description and further
information regarding the aircraft is explained in Atch. 3.

(TS/ORCON) Several independent scientific investigations, at the
request of the Air Force and CIA, were initiated during the era
of Project Blue Book. MJI2 decided that officially, the Air
Force should end their investigation of UFOS. This decision was
arrived at during the ???? meeting (Atch 4) in 1966. The reason
was twofold, first, the United States had established
communication with the Aliens. The United States felt relatively
sure the Aliens exploration of earth was non-aggressive and non-
hostile. It was also established that the Aliens presence did
not directly threaten the security of the United States.
Secondly, the public was beginning to believe that UFOs were
real. The NSC felt this public feeling could lead to nationwide
panic. The United States was involved in several sensitive
projects during this time period. It was felt that public
awareness of these projects would have jeopardized the future
space program of the United States. Therefore, MJ12 decided that
an independent scientific study of the UFO phenomena would be
needed to satisfy public curiosity. The study concluded that
sufficient data did not exist that would indicate UFOs threatened
the security of the United States. The final conclusion
satisfied the government and allowed the Air Force to officially
step out of the UFO investigating business.

(TS/ORCON) When the Air Force officially closed Project Blue
Book in Dec 1969, Project Aquarius continued operation under the
control of NSC/MJ12. The NSC felt investigations of UFO
sightings and incidents had to continue in secrecy without any
public knowledge. The reasoning behind this decision was this:
If the Air, Force continued its investigation of UFOS, eventually
some uncleared and unbriefed Air Force or defense department
civilian officials would obtain the facts behind Project
Aquarius. Obviously (for operational security reasons) this
could not be allowed. In order to continue the investigation of
UFO sightings and incidents in secrecy, investigators for CIA/DCD
and MJ12 were assigned to military and other governmental
agencies with orders to investigate all legitimate UFO/IAC
sighting and incidents. These agents are presently operating at
various locations throughout the United States and Canada. All
reports are filtered either directly or indirectly to MJ12.
These agents are collecting reports of UFO/IAC sightings and
incidents occurring on or near sensitive governmental
installations. NOTE: Aliens have been extremely interested in
our nuclear weapons and nuclear research. Many reported military
sightings and incidents occur over nuclear weapons bases. The
Alien's interest in our nuclear weapons can only be attributed to
the future threat of a nuclear war on earth. The Air Force have
initiated measure to insure the security of the nuclear weapons
from Alien theft or destruction. MJ12 feels confident the Aliens
are on an exploration of our solar system for peaceful purposes.
However, we must continue to observe and track the Aliens
movement until it is determined that the Alien's future plans
contain no threat to our national security or the civilization of
earth.

(TS/ORCON) Most governmental documents pertaining to UFO
sightings, incidents and governmental policies, including Project
Blue Book, have been released to the public under FOIA or under
var-ious other release programs. MJ12 felt the reaming documents
and information (not relating to Project Aquarius) relating to
technological facts regarding Aliens medical matters, the fact
that an Alien was captured alive and survived for three years
under secrecy; can not be released to the public for fear the
information would be obtained by SHIS. There was other
information obtained from EBE that was deemed sensitive and not
releasable to the public. Notably, Project Aquarius Volume IX
which pertains to tracing the Aliens first visitation of earth
back some 5,000 years. EBE reported that 2,000 years ago his
ancestors planted a human creature on earth to assist the
inhabitants of earth in developing a civilization.This
information was only vague and the exact identity or background
information on this homo-sapien was not obtained. Undoubtfully,
if this information was released to the public, it would cause a
worldwide religious panic. MJ3 has developed a plan that will
allow release of Project Aquarius, Volumes I thru III. The
release program calls for a gradual release of information over a
period of time in order to condition the public for future
disclosures. Atch 5 of this briefing contains certain guidelines
for future public releases.

(TS/ORCON) In the 1976 MJ3 report (Atch 6), it was estimated the
Alien's technology was many thousands of years ahead of United
States technology. Our scientists speculate that until our
technology develops to a level equal to the Aliens, we cannot
understand the large volume of scientific information the United
States has already gained from the Aliens. This advancement of
United States Technology may take many hundred of years.

SUB PROJECTS UNDER PROJECT AQUARIUS
1.(TS/ORCON) PROJECT BANDO: (PROWORD: RISK) Originally
established in 1949. Its mission was to collect and evaluate
medical information from the surviving Aliens creature and the
recovered Alien bodies. This Project medically examined EBE and
provided United States medical researchers with certain answers
to the evolution theory. (OPR: CIA) (Terminated in 1974).
2.(TS/ORCON) PROJECT SIGMA: (PROWORD: MIDNIGHT). Originally
established as part of Project Gleem in 1954. Became a separate
project in 1976. Its mission was to establish communication with
Aliens. This Project met with positive sucess, when in 1959, the
United States established primitive communications with the
Aliens. On April 25, 1964, a USAF intelligence Officer, met two
Aliens at a prearranged location in the desert of New Mexico.
The contact lasted for approximately three hours. Based on the
Alien's language given to us by EBE, the Air Force officer
managed to exchange basic information with the two Aliens (Atch
7). This project is continuing at an Air Force base in New
Mexico. (OPR: MJ12/NSA).
3.(TS/ORCON) PROJECT SNOWBIRD: (PROWORD: CETUS). Originally
established in 1972. Its mission was to test fly a recovered
Alien aircraft. This project is continuing in Nevede. (OPR:
USAF/NASA/CIA/MJ12)
4.(TS/ORCON) PROJECT POUNCE: (PROWORD: DIXIE). Originally
established in 1968. Its mission was to evaluate all UFO/IAC
information pertaining to space technology. PROJECT POUNCE
continues. (OPR: NASA/USAF)
