Quote from the article:
“Background
The To The Stars Academy (TTSA) recently announced
that Chris Herndon was joining their Advisory Board. Herndon initially worked
as a Department of Navy civilian, supporting a variety of agencies, including
the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO.)
This made me ask myself, what did I know about the
NRO? Like many other long-time researchers, the NRO had popped up on my radar
from time to time. So I decided, that in this blog post, I would take a look at
what I could find out about any relationship between the NRO and Unidentified
Aerial Phenomena (UAP.)”
Wikipedia article: “National Reconnaissance Office”:
Quote fron the Wikipedia article:
“The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a
member of the United States Intelligence Community and an agency of the United
States Department of Defense. NRO is considered, along with the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA), and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), to be one of
the ‘big five’ U.S. intelligence agencies.[2] The NRO is headquartered in
unincorporated Fairfax County, Virginia,[3] 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Washington
Dulles International Airport.
It designs, builds, and operates the reconnaissance
satellites of the U.S.
federal government, and provides satellite intelligence to several government
agencies, particularly signals intelligence (SIGINT) to the NSA, imagery
intelligence (IMINT) to the NGA, and measurement and signature intelligence
(MASINT) to the DIA.[4]
The Director of the NRO reports to both the Director
of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense[5] and serves in an
additional capacity as Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Intelligence Space
Technology). The NRO’s federal workforce consists primarily of Air Force, CIA,
NGA, NSA, and Navy personnel.[6] A 1996 bipartisan commission report described
the NRO as having by far the largest budget of any intelligence agency, and
‘virtually no federal workforce’, accomplishing most of its work through ‘tens
of thousands’ of defense contractor personnel.[7]”
