Quote from the article:
“When going through hundreds of old United States Air
Force (USAF) records at archive.org I found a record titled ‘History of the
Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence: July – December 1967.’ This is not the first
time I have found records this way. See this post for another example of what
can be found at archive.org if one makes the effort. Anyway, the above
mentioned record seems to only include the functions and responsibilities of
the 1127th Field Activities Group (FAG). It starts off at Page 46. For those
readers who don’t know, the 1127th FAG, historically, relates to the USAF’s
painful reaction to the UFO issue. The organisation started out its shadowy
life as the 4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS) in January 1953,
when Air Defence Command Regulation 24-4 created it for a wartime mission of
exploiting downed enemy people, papers, and hardware. In March 1953, the
decision was made to use the 4602nd AISS in UFO investigations and, by the end
of December 1953, a
working agreement existed between the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC)
and the new 4602nd AISS. In fact, all UFO reports were to go through the 4602d
AISS prior to any transmission to Project Blue Book at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base – Project Blue Book being the publicly admitted UFO ‘investigative’
desk, if you can call what they did as ‘investigations’ that is. Anyway, in
July 1957 the 4602nd, became the 1006th AISS, then in April 1960, it was
reorganised as the 1127th FAG! Furthermore, through the years, these organisations
ran the infamous ‘Project Moon Dust,’ which many of you will know of. For those
that do not, put simply, the original mission of Project Moon Dust, as stated
by US Air Force Message #54322, dated December 23, 1957, was to ‘to collect and
analyze raw intelligence reports from the field on fallen space debris and
objects of unknown origin.’
Looking at the bigger picture, the only thing these
obscure publications really prove is that there is more UFO-related,
governmental (usually of military providence) record to be found. There must be
dozens of under-utilised archives that contain significant, at least
historically, material. None of this of course will solve the UFO matter. It
will, however, fill in little parts of history, and, sometimes, lead us to more
discoveries.”
