It is the opinion of many people that there was a secret government project that existed and may still exist under a different code name, threat project was/is Project Aquarius. Aquarius was charged with getting information about alien visitors to earth. In order to understand this better you have to know that MJ12 also known as Majestic 12 was a supposed secret agency that controlled anything to do with ufo and alien information. Now before you say, Oh No, not another witch hunt, let me make it clear that a respected investigator discovered a document in the US Archives that actually refers to MJ-12. His name is Stanton Freedman and he had searched for such proof for years. It is amazing how these things never get much press.
It is so hard to find out the truth in these matters and I believe that it is made that way on purpose. Even some of the highest ranking office holders in this country are kept in the dark. President Carter tried to change all that. Maybe he felt a little different about ufos since he had seen one himself. In 1977 the Stanford Research Institute set up a project to study extraterrestrial communications at the behest of Carter. During his presidential campaign Carter had promised to release all and any ufo data he acquired. This study was to be unclassified. The story goes on to say that after a meeting at the White House, the President gave the final go ahead for the project. When the project director returned to Stanford, he was met by a man who was the liaison with the Pentagon and the man ordered him to terminate the project. and it ended there. The story goes on further to state that Carter went to George Bush Sr., the CIA director and told him he wanted all the ufo information we had and Bush told him no, that being the president wasn't enough, he also had to have a need to know. Of course this story is told many times and since we weren't there, there is no way to know the truth of it.
It is also said that Senator John Glenn wanted to know about Project Aquarius and had written a letter to the National Security Agency. I posted the reply below, but a word of caution, this reply did not come directly from a government site, but it does claim to be released under the Freedom of Information Act, but never the less, I can not vouch for its accuracy:
NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY
CENTRAL SECURITY SERVICE
Fort George G. Meade. maryland 20755 - 6000
Serial: Q4-072-87
27 January 1987
The Honorable John Glenn
United States Senate
ATTN: Mr. Mark Frondorf
SH-503 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Glenn:
This responds to your letter of 7 January 1987 on behalf
of your constituent, Mr. Clifford E. Stone ( Enclosure 1 ).
The National Security Agency (NSA) has received numerous
Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests for information
pertaining to UFO incidents. Our records show that Mr. Stone
has submitted six such requests over the past 7 years. One of
those requests was for the information mentioned in paragraph 2
of his letter to you, the UFO incident at RAF Woodbridge Base.
In our 1 February 1984 response to Mr. Stone ( Enclosure 2 ), we
notified him that the estimated manpower and computer search
costs involved in locating records responsive to his requests
were $250.00. We advised him that, upon receipt of half that
amount, a search would be made. Mr. Stone did not respond to
our letter.
Regarding the information in paragraph 1 of Mr. Stone's
letter, we have no record of receiving an FOIA requests for
documents dealing with a UFO destruction of a Cuban MiG-23.
Paragraph 3 of his letter ask for NSA analysis of the
document he attached. It appears to be an Air Force document.
The project names which are referenced, Sigma and Snowbird, are
not NSA projects. We have no knowledge of the information
contained in the document.
The subject of paragraph 4, project Aquarius, has been the
subject of numerous FOIA requests. Apparently there is or was
an Air Force project by that name which dealt with UFO's.
Coincidentally, there is also an NSA project by that name. The
NSA project does not deal with UFO's. We believe that the
confusion on this issue results from an FOIA requests submitted
by another person with interest in UFOs, Mr. Christian Lambright.
A second page to this letter exists but is not posted. |
Now we see that the NSA is saying there was not only one Project Aquarius, but at least two. This does sound strange, doesn't it? There is another document that is connected with Project Aquarius that you will see below. I believe it refers to film taken of ufos at Kirkland AFB, but I could be wrong. There is a problem with this document however. Some items were deleted in the original but have been filled in, in the copy that is circulating on the web. But here is the copy, it is unofficial and somewhat altered but is being shown for interest only:

Subject Case NR: 8017D93-126 HQ CR 44
1. Subject Negatives/Film were analyzed by HQ IVT and 7602 AINTELG, it and the following results were found:
A. Negative #1: Deplicting C-5A aircraft on approach and streaking
unidentified aerial object in lower right portion of film. Film found to
be unaltered. Size differential was not consistent with size of aircraft.
Conclusion: Inconclusive
B. Negative #2: Deplicting cylinder shaped unidentified aerial object in
upper left portion of photo. Film found to be unaltered. Film showed
object to be consistent with field depth and consistent with relative size
of fixed objects. Conclusion: Legitimate negative of unidentified aerial
object. Bolton/Reinfeld method did not reveal visible markings on object.
C. Negative #3: Deplicting irregular shaped unidentified aerial object
in seven frames of 8MM film. Because of the size and apparent speed of
object no further classification or conclusion could be drawn. Film shown
to be unaltered.
D. 34 inches of 8MM film: Deplicting apparent colored object moving in
front of still camera. Film found to be unaltered. Spectrography
revealed colors to be basic prism features. Depth analysis revealed
object to be within 152MM of camera. Object was not consistent with
relative size of fixed objects observed for several seconds in film.
Conclusion: inconclusive.
E. Original Negative Deplicting Unidentified Object: Film found to be
unaltered. Because of a lack of fixed objects in the film, no depth
analysis could be performed. Bolton, Reinfeld method revealed object to
be saucer shaped, approximate diameter 37 feet. Object contained a
trilateral insignia on the lower portion of object. Conclusion:
Legitimate negative of unidentified aerial object.
2. Ref your request for further information regarding HQ CR 44, the
following is provided: Capt. Grace 7602 Aintelg, INS contacted and
related following: (S/WINTEL) USAF no longer publicly active in UFO
research, however USAF still has interest in all UFO sightings over USAF
installation/test ranges. Several other government agencies, lead by
NASA, actively investigates legitimate sightings through covert cover.
(S/WINTEL/FSA) One such cover is UFO Reporting Center, US Coast and Geodetic Survey, Rockville, MD 20852. NASA filters results of sightings to appropriate military departments with interest in that particular
sighting. The official US Government Policy and results of project
Aquarius is still classified top secret with no dissemination outside
official intelligence channels and with restricted access to "MJ
Twelve". Case on Bennewitz is being monitored by NASA, INS, who
request all future evidence be forwarded to them thru AFOSI, IVOE.
4. Ref your request for technical assistance. Because of a chance of
public disclosure, no knowledgeable personnel with SPA will be provided.
Continue to receive assistance from individuals mentioned in your
message, Miller, fugate. Because of the sensitivity of case, request
they be thoroughly debriefed at regualr intervals.

I wish I had the original memo but what can you do? Actually what was filled in make this memo almost laughable. What I am talking about are the admissions made in the memo, they are just an investigator's dream of what he would like to see happen. This is the type of thing that is done on purpose to discredit any ufo investigations. Lets face it, anyone using this memo as proof of anything would look quite foolish. I believe the whole point here is that the government wants to keep people who investigate ufos and I am not talking about the kooks, I am talking about intelligent, qualified investigators and scientists, looking foolish so they will be discouraged. After all who wants to be the butt of jokes by his peers?
The bottom line here is that Project Aquarius may still exist. It may not be called Aquarius and does in some ways sound like SETI. But unlike SETI it seems to have authority far beyond analyzing radio signals. With other countries releasing their ufo data we begin to look more and more secretive. It doesn't seem that we ever will release anything of true value. Sure the Freedom of Information Act authorizes certain releases but what good is that if all the important info is redacted and you receive a sheet with almost everything blotted out? I have seen documents that only have a heading, and everything else is obliterated. This seems to me to destroy the intent of the Freedom of Information Act. Oh well, we can only hope that things will get better.
