Editor's Note: The CIA paranormal STAR GATE file collection, along with numerous UFO-related files are now now on line and available to read at https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/collection/stargate

STARstream Research first obtained copies of the file in 2004. With the public release of the files, many of our previous assessments are now confirmed within the public record.

For anyone interested, this pdf file from the CIA reviews the entire budget history of the STAR GATE programs, including research on psychic remote viewing and psychokinesis.

UFO Disclosure Update: CIA Files Release

Stephen Bassett

Stephen Bassett is a leading advocate for ending the 64-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.

(PRG to STARpod.us) — Two days before the inauguration of the new president on January 18, 2017 the CIA announced it had uploaded to the Web 13 million pages of previously declassified documents only accessible on computer terminals at the National Archives. These files included many “UFO” references as well as psychic research experiments.

See relevant articles HERE.

Readers of these updates may recall PRG acknowledged on November 17, 2016 it had received a message from a source inside government to the effect persons who are directly involved in the management of the extraterrestrial issues want disclosure to take place under President Obama and are ready to work with the Secretary of Defense if approached.

SORCERER’S APPRENTICE: CORE SECRETS and the UFO CORE STORY

2014-11-03T15:25:00.000+00:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) -- Sources to STARstream Research -- including former CIA officer Dr. Kit Green -- and Dr. Ron Pandolfi, identified in a For Official Use Only government document with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence -- have made reference to a CORE STORY surrounding a deep black “phenomenology problem” associated with UFOs and extraterrestrial alien visitors.

NSA document leaker Edward Snowden's latest "act of whistleblowing" -- if true -- revealed the existence of "above top secret" core secrets at a deeper level than TOP SECRET -- where compartmentalized and closely held secret Special Access Programs (SAP) reside ...

Spies, lies and GCHQ: TOP SECRET document reveals UFO spy game methods

2014-03-01T00:00:00.000+00:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — New revelations from the NSA document trove of whistleblower fugitive Edward Snowden continue to reveal more about the methods used by the world-wide intelligence community on the Internet.

The latest claim, published by the Guardian and reported on by BBC News, says that Britain’s GCHQ intercepted webcam images from Yahoo users, including images of a sexually explicit nature.

BBC reports:

The operation, which was called Optic Nerve and was aided by the U.S. National Security Agency, is alleged to have stored images between 2008 and 2010. In one six-month period in 2008, images from 1.8m users were gathered … It suggested that sexually explicit content would be captured by the system. “Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their body to the other person,” it read.

The breaking story in the Guardian reported:

In one six-month period in 2008 alone, the agency collected webcam imagery – including substantial quantities of sexually explicit communications – from more than 1.8 million Yahoo user accounts globally.

The use of psychological warfare on the Internet has been revealed in a TOP SECRET GCHQ document now published online by The Intercept.

Star wars: Did South Korea weaponize K-Pop for Psy-Ops?

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — It began with concept development for an espionage thriller: A popular female South Korean singer is kidnapped and then mysteriously reappears in America.

But what I discovered in the early stages of my research almost convinced me the South might actually be crafting subliminally orchestrated psychological warfare music videos.

"The Secret Life of Uri Geller": Psychic showman a CIA asset?

2013-11-14T00:00:00.000+00:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — In his new book, “The Secret Life of Uri Geller,” author Jonathon Margolis has compiled countless tales of the misadventures of a psychic, mentalist and mystifier turned intelligence asset.

Margolis weaves back and forth in time as he relates numerous events in Geller’s life to on again, off again contact with spies, senior government officials, and the great (and weird) unknown.

Initially a skeptic who described Geller as “a washed up fake,” Margolis soon discovered — as have numerous others, myself among them — a “weird little pattern starts up every time I have contact with Uri, even if I’m thousands of kilometers away from him.”

The book opens with a phone call Geller receives from William Casey, CIA Director under President Ronald Reagan, in 1981. In his book, and the related recent film documentary for the BBC by Vikram Jayanti (see “Never mind the NSA, Uri Geller is the real spy story” in The Guardian) it is revealed that the CIA got involved in the early 1970s when Israeli intelligence requested they have a look at Geller.

In the first few years of the 1970s, Kit Green, a former CIA officer (and an on again, off again source of the occasional odd tale of paranormal intrigue) had been tasked to monitor Stanford Research Institute where Geller was being studied. Green was only one of many intelligence types haunting the research center. Numerous other CIA officers were involved, from a handful of different divisions within the agency ...

Trail closed: NSA shutters FOIA request for personal information records

Trail closed: NSA shutters FOIA request for personal information records

“Your request is denied because the fact of the existence or non-existence of responsive records is a currently and properly classified matter …”

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — On August 11, 2013, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the U.S. National Security Agency.

Over the past several months, more and often disturbing information has been made public concerning NSA and collection of information about American citizens, sometimes by accident but also related to contacts who are foreign nationals (including foreign nationals of nations allied with the United States).

As a rogue, Jedi journalist, I was curious about what NSA might have collected with my name attached (as e-mail recipient or sender) since I have numerous contacts and sources, some of whom are foreign nationals. I was also curious about what information NSA might have on file concerningSTARstream Research, the virtual organization I established in 2004 to monitor “way-out” developments in alternative fringe science and military technology developments, following on from information I had provided toNick Cook then at Jane’s Information Group (Jane’s is a British private intelligence collection business and publisher). At the time, Cook was working on his expose’ “The Hunt for Zero Point” about fringe physics research into mining the quantum vacuum for energy (the 21st Century version of the perpetual motion machine).

NSA acknowledged my FOIA request in admirably efficient fashion, responding by letter dated September 9, 2013.

CIA and the Pope? Nope, just Ron and the Princess

2013-08-26T19:35:00.002+01:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — Last week the world learned that former Pope Benedict “reportedly revealed that God told him to [step down as Pope] during a ‘mystical experience’ … during which God gave him the “absolute desire” to forge a deeper relationship with him,” according to mainstream media sources including the LA Times.

A while back we heard a rumor that CIA official Dr. Ronald (Ron) Pandolfi had met with then Pope Benedict. As is typical with these unconfirmed tales, news of the visitation first arrived via Pandolfi’s friend Dan Smith, who had e-mailed a list of the unusual suspects, myself included:

“I suspect that Ron, in his very recent visit to the Vatican, was instrumental in this early retirement. No?”

Uri Geller: Psychic sleeper cells “reactivated” following 9/11

2013-08-14T00:57:00.000+01:00

"Can you tell me anything you can't tell me?"

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) -- Psychic mentalist Uri Geller says psychic sleeper cells were reactivated after the terrible terror attacks of September 11, 2001. But is there any reason to believe him? What evidence exists for a government sponsored psychic talent pool?

In his film "The Secret Life of Uri Geller: Psychic Spy?," documentary filmmaker Vikram Jayanti asked one-time government paranormal expert Scott Jones about closure of the former and now declassified American STAR GATE psychic espionage program.

"I can't imagine the military or the intelligence community would ever fully shut down something that might enable them to gather intelligence matters, is that right?"

Hesitating for a moment, Jones replied, "Let me not comment ... but I think your logic is very powerful."

"So you know something you don't want to tell me?"

"Perhaps, yes."

"When that horrendous, tragic attack came, on the eleventh of September," Geller told Jayanti for his BBC special, "I was actually a day before that in New York with Michael Jackson -- ah, all the remote viewers, I believe, were reactivated -- because America needed information -- fast!"

Uri Geller: How the U.S. government went from bent spoons to psychokinetic espionage

2013-07-31T01:55:00.001+01:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — One of the more controversial items raised by the new BBC documentary about Uri Geller’s secret life is the possibility that Geller’s mind-beyond-matter spoon-bending skills might have come into play during the hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in July 1976.

The rumor grew legs following a mention in “The Secret Life of Ur Geller: Psychic Spy?” and a follow-on article in the Independent:

A BBC documentary revealing the Israel-born entertainer’s “secret life” as a Cold War spy – employed by both the CIA and Israel’s renowned Mossad – has inferred that Berkshire-based Geller, famed for his spoon-bending powers and a friendship with Michael Jackson, helped to disable radar using his extra-sensory powers … What about the raid on Entebbe though? Uri can’t talk about Entebbe. Is is true he played a pivotal role in the audacious operation to rescue the hostages, took out the radar over the whole of North Africa so that the Israeli Defence Forces could fly in at night? He’s not saying. Put it this way, though: he’s certainly not saying he didn’t do it.

I've come across stranger stories and more importantly references, found in real now-declassified U.S. government documents, concerning psychokinesis (PK) and sensitive electronic hardware.

The historical record (or hysterical record, depending upon your point of view in this murky topic) supports the above tale to the extent scientists actually feared a PK threat in the mid to late 1970s.

Is CIA man Ron Pandolfi the person Uri Geller says reactivated him into psychic espionage?

2013-07-25T06:14:00.002+01:00

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) — In a new documentary for BBC called “The Secret Life of Uri Geller” by filmmaker Vikram Jayanti, Geller claims to have been reactivated as a psychic espionage agent by a man identified only as “Ron.”

Geller told the same story to British author Jon Ronson shortly after 9/11, sending Ronson on a quest to uncover the secret man behind “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”

And roughly a year prior to 9/11, I received an e-mail from a man identified as Dr. Ronald Pandolfi, someone I soon learned was identified by mainstream media sources as a CIA official involved with scientific intelligence.

The e-mail I received from Dr. Pandolfi, addressed to many persons of interest including Uri Geller, was later shared with other elements of the U.S. government (including the FBI) when a contentious divorce resulted in the loss of sensitive information.

Pandolfi had been identified in the 1990s as a CIA official in an investigative series published by the New York Times. Veteran journalist Ken Timmerman identified Pandolfi as “CIA’s highest ranking scientist.”

The sudden and unexpected appearance of this particular “Ron” was in response to a message sent by one of his associates — Dan Throop Smith, son of President Eisenhower’s tax policy adviser from Harvard. Pandolfi — who is known simply as “Ron” by those closest to him — had responded to Smith’s suggestion that CIA and a more secretive organization, often referred to as MJ-12 by UFOlogists, were using Pandolfi to set up a domestic and international collection effort to recruit researchers involved in paranormal activities.

STARpod.us looks back at 2012

2012-12-31T23:59:00.000+00:00

It's been an interesting year over at STARpod.us, the new STARstream Research website. Migrating the older Microsoft-based website to a new Wordpress content management based site has been time consuming but the new site promises to be a more efficient way for us to provide you with the latest news from the strange world of weird science, psychic intelligence and perhaps, extraterrestrial alien contact.

We took a look back at the past year and reviewed some of the top stories.

Here's what we came up with ...

The top stories of 2012 as reported by STARpod.us

(STARpod.us) -- Our number one story for 2012 was the confirmation of a U.S. government psychic intelligence warning of 9/11 -- prior to the actual attack on September 11, 2001. The connections went much deeper than anyone had anticipated even a few years ago, linking NSA senior official Tom Drake, officials at Donald Rumsfeld’s Office of the Secretary of Defense, and U.K. psychic spy Chris Robinson. As expected, our readers had questions, and we attempted to answer them as best we could based upon the available information.

Based upon the information we have been provided by multiple sources, the U.S. government has been tasking “human time machines” to look into the future. The Forecasting World Events project, sponsored by the U.S. government’s Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity or IARPA helped support the STARpod.us website by running numerous advertisements for research participants.

In 2012 we published actual formerly classified documents revealing how CIA sponsored psychics had located and provided intelligence about a secret NSA facility. We also published a secret memo on the importance of Uri Geller’s psychic powers. And we published several STAR GATE documents including a once-secret briefing for the Secretary of Defense about the use of psychic intelligence.

A more disturbing revelation was the discovery that a document provided by Chris Robinson in 2011, concerning terror threats around the anniversary of 9/11, had given the name “Stevens” prior to the death of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens in the Benghazi attack

The most popular topic of the year was, without question, the controversial tale of a battle with extraterrestrial alien entities at aerospace entrepreneur Bob Bigelow’s haunted Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. The story, which was first widely reported following our original 2010 article, was brought back to life when Jesse Ventura’s TruTV show “Conspiracy Theory” investigated the tale and managed to interview the reclusive Bob Bigelow on camera.

We attempted to “skin the Skinwalker” to get closer to the heart of the phenomena reported at the ranch and reexamined the tale of a battle between Bigelow’s “BA-D-ASS” defenders of Earth and an evil alien presence.

The man who promoted the story he had heard about the ranch battle, Dr. Jack Saratti, revealed the source of the tale and asked who (or what) was really behind the rumor, after our sources denied there was any truth to the tale.

Going on the record

We also interviewed the always colorful and controversial physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti about the future of travel to the stars. And in another interview, author Gary S. Bekkum explained the concept of “human time machines.”

In 2012, STARstream Research published three mini-books in Gary S. Bekkum’s “Knowing the Future” series:

Bekkum also offered ten reasons why he “might be a spy” for exposing odd goings on involving government officials.

The end may or may not be near

We also published the first in what we hope to be a series of interviews with the always controversial and often enigmatic blogger Dan Throop Smith, who believes the endgame of modern civilization is near.

In January 2012, the Doomsday Clock moved one minute closer to midnight.

NASA reported global warming was on the rise and futurist John L. Petersen peered over the precipice of change promised to arrive in 2012.

Weird science

Our Sci-Tech department reported how Oxford physicist Dr. David Deutsch had drawn a line in the sand between parallel universes and quantum pilot wave theories. Deutsch is a proponent of the many worlds of parallel universes interpretation of quantum theory, which he believes quantum computers will will eventually prove to be real.

CERN announced the possible discovery of the so-called God particle, the Higgs Boson.

Our “spaced out there” department at PsycheLeaks reported that a U.S. government official denied that President Obama had been teleported to Mars in the 1980s.

Will there ever be a real “Battlefield Earth” shootout with extraterrestrial aliens? Gary S. Bekkum explained why the future of alien extraterrestrial warfare is likely to take place in the human mind and not on a Hollywood inspired battlefield.

Don Ecker went on a “moon quest” and released pictures of unusual lunar anomalies -- and asked if an alien intelligence was responsible. Ecker also reviewed the “long saga of lunar anomalies” and asked, once again, if somebody else was on the moon. Ecker also took a look back at the history of UFO/flying saucer reports.

CIA veteran Chase Brandon went on the record about his belief that aliens really did crash in Roswell back in 1947. Brandon claimed he had seen materials about the Roswell incident while browsing a secure vault at CIA headquarters.

Stephen Bassett tied UFO disclosure to the Clinton and Obama White House. Mr. Bassett’s Paradigm Research Group reported on a petition to the Obama White House to investigate Brandon’s claims, and Bassett wrote an open letter to President Obama about the numerous claims made by former government officials concerning an extraterrestrial presence on the Earth. Bassett also announced the upcoming “Citizen’s Hearing” on government and UFO phenomena.

Danger, Will Robinson

A psychic intelligence source confirmed contact with the U. S. Department of Defense and warned Iran was secretly building a nuclear arsenal. On June 6 we reported confirmation of a March 2012 warning of a horrible increase in violence against the civilian population in Syria. STARstream Research issued a provisional alert for the threat of chemical weapons use in the Syrian conflict in June. A warning notice was issued in July after mainstream media reports appeared to confirm earlier psychic intelligence about the threat. Syria later threatened to use the chemical weapons of mass destruction against foreign invaders. By early September, European officials were warning of a “blistering response” to any use of the deadly weapons by the Assad regime in Syria. The question remains, “Will Assad unleash his chemical weapons?”

In other spy-related news, we updated the latest on the Ron Pandolfi CIA White House hamster affair, explaining why CIA hamsters might be RATS.

One mystery may have been solved when the government released secret files about an object that had arrived from space and was recovered on the ocean floor.

If the aliens are not already here, they might be on their way:

In a publicity stunt violating Prof. Stephen Hawking’s warning to avoid contact with intelligence extraterrestrial aliens, National Geographic broadcast a signal into space.

If Martians had been watching the sky they would have experienced their own version of the Roswell story when NASA’s Curiosity Rover arrived in a saucer shaped reentry vehicle that later crashed into the Martian surface.

For years the UFO community has been debating the story of a secret group of government insiders in charge of the alleged extraterrestrial visitors called MJ-12. According to some sources, the head of MJ-12 was former NSA director Michael McConnell.

And in other news ...

An American hero, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk upon the lunar surface, passed away on August 25, 2012 at age 82.

We predicted Obama would win re-election, based entirely upon psychic intelligence.

And we looked at the sudden and unexpected resignation of CIA director David H. Petraeus over an affair “through a glass darkly” and ran an informal in-house experiment that may have predicted a lost driver’s license related to the case.

Thank you to everyone for your support! We look forward to providing you with more coverage of the strange and unusual in 2013.

Happy New Year everyone!

Mystery source for alien battle tale revealed

2012-12-18T06:00:00.000+00:00

"Understand the procedure now? Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers ... Throw them into darkness for a few hours, and then just sit back and watch the pattern." -- "And this pattern is always the same?" -- "With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find ... and it’s themselves. And all we need do is sit back ... and watch."

(STARpod.us) -- Controversy has exploded onto the Internet following a contentious episode of Jesse Ventura's TruTV program "Conspiracy Theory" exposing high strangeness at aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow's Skinwalker Ranch.

At issue: a rumor of a battle with extraterrestrial aliens passed on by physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti, based upon a story he was told by a "mysterious French woman" Sarfatti has now identified as Antoine Gigal.

In the 1990s, Bob Bigelow funded UFO investigations under a group he founded called the National Institute of Discovery Sciences, also known as NIDS.

Among the many investigations conducted by NIDS was the mysterious case of the so-called Bigelow Skinwalker Ranch in a remote region of Utah, where a variety of paranormal phenomena had been reported.

According to Sarfatti’s account, the French woman “claimed an actual gun battle at Bigelow Ranch with Bob’s paramilitary against aliens out of the wormhole with dead and wounded humans. She was very convincing and Nick Cook heard the strange tale at his private London Club with me and another witness. I debriefed Kit Green and Ron Pandolfi soon after and the story caused a big stir.”

Pandolfi and Green are well known for their interest in unusual phenomena and their history of employment with the CIA. Green confirmed he was the chair of the NIDS science board during the ranch investigation.

“I was asked by the ‘CIA’ not to pursue the story in 2004, but now Bigelow has (allegedly, it seems) opened Pandora’s Box on the story.”

The story of an alien invasion was the latest in a series of odd claims about paranormal events haunting a remote ranch in Utah.

In his 1997 article for Spirit Magazine, republished on line, Dave Perkins recounts on one hellish incident reported by the previous ranch owner.

In the summer of 1994, Terry [Sherman] (a rancher and cattle breeder) and his wife Gwen (employed for 20 years at the local bank) had found their dream ranch ... The family started noticing "glowing blue balls" moving around the property ... Terry described it as "a glass ball about the size of a baseball," which appeared to contain "two blue fluids which intermingled with each other" ... the globe retreated and the Sherman's three dogs, after some coaxing, took off chasing it in snarling hot pursuit ... They lost sight of the ball and then heard a piercing yelp -- the three dogs did not return ... The next day Gwen and Terry found three burned circles in the woods. In the center of each circle, they discovered a greasy blob of what looked to be "shortening or butter" ... Feeling that they could no longer guarantee the safety of their children, they decided to call it quits. They would put the place up for sale and leave the hellish ranch.

The ranch was purchased by Bigelow, the founder of Bigelow Aerospace, a company focused on building inflatable space habitats for the next generation of corporate-backed space explorers.

When Bigelow told the New York Times "people have been killed" by UFOs, Sarfatti resuscitated a tale he had heard at a 2004 meeting in London.

"Why this strange elaborate story? That is the issue whether the events happened or not -- either way ... The issue is where did she get her story from? Why spill it to me?" asked Sarfatti. "Who told her about the ranch if it was not [former NIDS consultant] Jacques Vallee as she alleged?"

Aliens battle BA-D-ASS cowboys at Mr. Big’s Skinwalker Ranch

2012-12-11T00:00:00.000+00:00

“Alright people, this one’s a big one.” -- “Are billionaires and politicians plotting with ETs to run the world?”

“Hidden power -- secrets -- cover-ups -- corruption -- you think you know the whole story? Think again!” -- “It’s the most far-out, conspiracy investigation yet -- a cover-up of an extraterrestrial invasion.”

(Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape) -- Ever since TV producer Marisa Kagan contacted me about the creepshow weirdness at Bob Bigelow’s Skinwalker Ranch, I’ve been curious how “Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory” would spin the tale of aliens and cowboys battling in a remote location in Utah.

“People have been killed ...”

It all started when aerospace entrepreneur Bob Bigelow -- “a new millenium Howard Hughes ... a mysterious, elusive billionaire ... who’s building his own private space station” -- told the New York Times of the danger from UFOs:

His space stations are not his only interest in space. “I’ve been a researcher and student of U.F.O.’s for many, many years,” Mr. Bigelow said. “Anybody that does research, if people bother to do quality research, come away absolutely convinced. You don’t have to have personal encounters.”

He added: “People have been killed. People have been hurt. It’s more than observational kind of data.”

“I get a lot of calls from a lot of people who want me to investigate conspiracies,” Ventura explains in the voice over, “This one was different from the start.”

“The Skinwalker Ranch: named for the shape-shifting witches of Native American legend.”

In the 1990s, Bigelow funded the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) to investigate paranormal reports and UFO sightings. One hot-spot of paranormal activity was centered at a remote ranch in Utah. Bigelow purchased the ranch and sent in his researchers to try to determine what was going on.

Veteran UFO investigator Don Ecker told Ventura’s team, “All the evidence, all the data that’s been collected has been locked away by Mr. Bigelow.”

Among Bigelow’s original NIDS advisors were Christopher Kit Green, a former senior CIA official, and Dr. Eric Davis, a physicist who was later tapped by the U.S. Air Force to study teleportation. Davis would later tell STARstream Research about a bizarre telepathic attack that allegedly took place at Skinwalker Ranch.

The story of mind-hacking entities told by Davis was truly disturbing, but another, potentially more explosive rumor had been spreading about an alleged battle between Bigelow’s people and something not of this Earth.

“We have a scientist from San Francisco, Dr. Jack Sarfatti, who claimed he had been told by reliable sources that there was actually an invasion of aliens on Bigelow’s Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, and he claims a number of Bigelow’s men were either killed or injured by the ETs.”

I broke the story about Sarfatti’s tale of a battle at Skinwalker Ranch in my story “Bigelow Aerospace Lethal UFO Extraterrestrial Battle Rumor Exposed.”

I reported:

San Francisco physicist Dr. Jack Sarfatti claims to have heard the rumor while visiting London in 2004, while in the company of Nick Cook, the well known aerospace journalist from the private intelligence publisher Janes Information Group.

“I was asked by the ‘CIA’ not to pursue the story in 2004, but now Bigelow has (allegedly, it seems) opened Pandora’s Box on the story.”

According to Sarfatti, the rumor of a battle between Bob Bigelow’s employees and otherworldly beings was provided by a mysterious French woman, who was accompanied by a body guard carrying a mystery briefcase allegedly containing “some kind of ‘psychotronic’ weapon based on alien ET technology.”

Following the NASA / DARPA 100 Year Starship symposium, where Sarfatti unsuccessfully attempted to push open the UFO alien visitation topic, Sarfatti dismissed the Skinwalker Ranch alien battle story after speaking to Jacques Vallee, the famous UFO researcher.

“Yes, the French woman’s story to me,” Sarfatti explained, was “a delusional distortion of [Jacques] Vallee’s meeting with her in Paris at Simon Daniel’s conference.”

Sarfatti seemed willing to entertain the alien invasion conspiracy after he watched Ventura’s Skinwalker episode?

“I remember now I told the Jesse Ventura people that there was no point me being in the show because what I heard in 2004 was only hearsay,” wrote Sarfatti. “ I did speak briefly about it to Jacques Vallee [a NIDS consultant] as I recall, at the first DARPA-NASA Starship Meeting in Sausalito Jan. 2011 … and he denied the French woman's version of what allegedly happened at Bigelow's Utah Ranch: a battle with hostile aliens popping out of a floating star gate with at least two of Bigelow's private army being killed. Eric Davis was one of Bigelow's employees at the time and he also leaked the story. This would explain why Eric got so uptight at the Oct 1, 2011 DARPA-NASA meeting in Orlando when I broached the UFO subject followed by Doug Trumbull [special effects wizard on “2001: A space Odyssey”] who backed me up the next day.”

Opening Obama Gate

2012-11-12T23:39:00.002+00:00

The big question on everyone's mind this week is whether or not the explosive revelation of CIA Director David Petraeus' extra-marital affair will evolve into President Barack Obama's version of the Watergate scandal.

This question is of particular interest to STARstream Research since we predicted -- in January 2010 -- that the Obama administration would be impacted by a resignation over an affair under investigation by the Justice Department.

In January 2010, STARstream Research collected information using a new and untested proprietary method to obtain “anomalous mental phenomena” with the intention of predicting future outcomes during the Obama administration.

As best we were able to ascertain, the 'psychic' data predicted Obama or someone close to the White House would become embroiled in controversy over an "affair of the heart" leading to the resignation of someone close to the administration. Other related concepts identified a "military authority" and an investigation by the Justice Department involving a whistle-blower.

After a predicted shutdown of the federal government, we took another look at the notes and I decided to write a brief piece about the data in the context of rumors of inner turmoil within the Obama White House.

In my March 2010 story -- "Is There a White House Resignation in the Works?" -- I noted that the psychic data "also makes reference to 'military powers authority' associated with 'extraordinary measures' taken in response to an 'affair' which was not further identified ... Several psychic spy notes have made reference to 'affair' in the context of 'heart,' in the context of the Justice Department concerning criminal activities and 'witness protection.'"

On background: View CNN's timeline of the Petraeus affair

Today's Washington Post reported that senior lawmakers are calling for an investigation of the FBI’s handling of the investigation of Petraeus. Others are raising concerns about the timing of the Petraeus resignation over an alleged extramarital affair involving harassing e-mails immediately following Obama's re-election. Prior to his resignation, Petraeus was to have been a central witness at closed-door hearings concerning the September 11 attack against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

The chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee (Sen. Diane Feinstein) told Fox News, “This is something that could have had an effect on national security."

Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee told CNN, “It just doesn’t add up that you have this type of investigation. The FBI is investigating e-mails, the e-mails leading to the CIA director, taking four months to find out that the CIA director was involved.”

According to various accounts, an FBI whistle-blower alerted Rep. Eric Cantor.

“I was contacted by an FBI employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised," Cantor later stated, "and made certain Director Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security."

So what's the latest in 'psychic spy' data?

One source suggested a possible connection to "an object of possible significance -- found or carried in a coat pocket -- rectangular in shape. Could be a pocketbook or pocket camera / cell phone. May be related to classified materials and/or 'suggestive' images. Possibly lost, stolen or sold on the black market."

According to reports, classified information was found on the computer of Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell. Exactly what was found or where the alleged classified information had been sourced is still unknown.

Fox News reports that Attorney General Eric Holder was notified of the FBI investigation into the Petraeus affair last summer, raising more questions about why Obama was kept in the dark until after the election.

Will the Petraeus affair evolve into Obama-gate? Stay tuned ...

Secret TIP on DARK TRACKER

2012-10-16T06:00:00.000+01:00

“Confessions in Search of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice” — Who, or what, is the DARK TRACKER?

(STARstream Research) — I thought I’d share a “Jedi Journalism” espionage TIP with our readers from one of our previous STARstream Research investigations.

A TIP, or TRANSIENT INTERPERSONAL PHENOMENON, refers to the anomalous sharing of information by two or more persons, popularly called group-mind, telepathy or remote viewing. In general, a TIP may be any of a number of information sharing sources and methods outside the standard framework of person-to-person communication.

Back in 2009, I was reviewing handwritten notes attached to emails from 2006 for the next installment of the “Knowing the Future” series. Some of the notes had originated with a TIP.

During the file review I discovered that on April 30, 2006, I had emailed our investigative contributing writer Caryn Anscomb a personal TIP — Caryn and a friend viewed during a quasi-dream-state, standing near a vast graveyard.

I sent Caryn a picture of Arlington Cemetery to illustrate the vision.

Later, Caryn related her reaction to my TIP.

“I remember that! — I was taken aback. [My friend] and I had indeed spent a couple of hours walking through Arlington Cemetery.”

Another note in the files concerned DARK TRACKER.

What, exactly, I wondered, was DARK TRACKER? Was this a person, working behind the scenes? Was it a reference to a clandestine Internet monitoring scheme? Was this a reference to the alleged use by CIA’s Ron Pandolfi of a network trace on persons interested in UFO technologies? And what about the AQUARIUM, allegedly a group of like-minded individuals both in and out of the intelligence community who had met shortly before and after 9/11?

Recent revelations by former senior NSA official Thomas Andrews Drake and his British associate, precognitive psychic spy Christopher Robinson of psychic intelligence shared at the highest levels of the U.S. government reinforced the mystery.

I reviewed files from June 2006 — about the same time that presidential great-granddaughter Laura Eisenhower alleged she was recruited by Richard Dell Jr. into a deep black paranormal intelligence program.

“Mother synchronicity appears to be on schedule, as usual. In the face of this I am left wondering about recent offers of new, deep background sources. I understand that the rules of the game have changed in this modern world of Internet and phone monitoring, and that Richard might have some input on how to deal with that aspect of this investigation. One must be careful with deep cover sources as to not allow them to spin the direction of an investigation, thus typically one seeks to confirm from other independent multiple sources. On the other hand, some of the players in this ‘spooky’ game may not be prepared to deal with alternative ‘sources’ such as Richard’s patrons. I am open to redirection, as I agree with Richard that the birds [members of the UFO group called the AVIARY] are not going to be of much assistance.”

And then, almost as an afterthought:

“By the way, in my notes — DARK TRACKER next to Kit’s name. Any idea?”

Sources and methods were in play, and the clock was ticking. I was reminded by my associate that a deadline was looming.

“Remember boys, I have a timeline — that runs out November. If I don’t go the right course I’ll be heading back to the deep blue sea, taking the message with me. The clock is ticking and still no Rainbow Path in sight.”

My associate’s direction to that point had, apparently, been partly orchestrated by CATFISH and SUNFISH, a couple of slippery characters from the AQUARIUM that you know better as CIA official Ron Pandolfi and his civilian proxy Dan Throop Smith. Our instructions had been forwarded, for the most part, by the CAT via the SUN, but it was a TIGER that seemed to attract the most attention.

“While that cat’s away … my DEEP THOUGHT source … sounds like ground rules are going to be imposed shortly. More later, as I deem appropriate. I have to contemplate the meaning of life, the universe and everything.”

We were breaking ranks with our handlers and prepared to play both sides in a gambit to divide and conquer.

My associate replied:

“Our merry band is coming to a crunch situation. Although I don’t advocate disclosing confidentialities, as a rule, there are times when the bull has to be taken by the horns and given a neck twist … It seems to me that we are little more than unpaid agents.”

Yet, we felt we were closer to the alleged insiders than ever before.

“I need to know everything that you know … you are in the best position to move things along. That is my present opinion, based upon sketchy available information; mostly inferred from a few communications recently sent my way. I cannot violate deep background without losing a potential high value asset. Another possibility is interception of the messages regarding reciprocity. That may be a coincidence? What happens next may hinge on your confirmation of ‘deep background’ as an additional source. Should you choose to write about this then there is Dan and yourself, the minimum number of sources traditionally required to confirm.”

I had been contacted by a new source I called DEEP THOUGHT, with a tantalizing offer of new information, but only on “deep background” with absolutely no attribution. And I had confirmed DEEP THOUGHT’s identity and relationship to the U.S. Intelligence Community in official government records.

“Absolutely Cadavers”: Roswell is Dead, Long Live the Roswell Mystery

2012-10-10T02:41:00.000+01:00

Time runs our on Stephen Bassett’s latest White House petition to reopen the Roswell crashed flying saucer case.

With only 977 electronic signatures and 24,023 more needed by 10 October 2012, Paradigm Research Group founder Stephen Bassett’s latest attempt to engage the Obama White House on the topic of extraterrestrial visitors has come to an end.

Bassett has been attempting to use the White House “We the People” website to reopen long-standing questions related to government tales of unworldly visitors from somewhere “out there.”

The primary anecdotal evidence provided by Bassett to the White House website come from government officials who have gone on the record concerning their belief in a conspiracy to cover-up involvement of the U.S. government with Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBE or EBEN).

Lt Col. Philip Corso (USA): “I came into possession of the Roswell File. This file contained field reports, medical autopsy reports and technological debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle.”

Capt. Edgar Mitchell (USAF/NASA): “Roswell was a real incident, and that indeed an alien craft did crash, and that material was recovered from that crash site.”

Gov. Bill Richardson: “The mystery surrounding this crash has never been adequately explained – not by independent investigators, and not by the U.S. government.”

Chase Brandon (CIA): “It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet.”

Lt. Col. Richard French (USAF): “There were actually two crashes at Roswell.”

And to the above list we would add former CIA official Dr. Christopher Kit Green, who heard similar stories from senior government officials (see my book “Knowing the Future: The UFO Spy Games” and Mark Pilkington’s “Mirage Men” for the details).

Mr. Bassett identifies various political issues related to the alleged government cover-up, including “Government Reform, Science and Space Policy, and Technology and Telecommunications.” The serious side of all three issues is the misuse of national security to cover for government waste, fraud and abuse of secrecy. (As an example, see our story about former NSA official Tom Drake.)

At his website, Bassett noted, “The statements of these distinguished men directly contradict the White House’s written statement of October 22, 2011.”

Big Brother is Watching: The Future

2012-10-03T17:29:00.000+01:00

Big Brother is watching us, and he wants to know our future.

(STARpod.us) — There is an article at BBC News about the latest in High Definition Closed Circuit TV cameras and public privacy issues.

“Surveillance cams now offer up to 29 megapixels, surpassing many cameras used by professional photographers … It’s the ability to pick out your face in a crowd from a camera which is probably half a mile away… Manufacturer’s figures suggest there will be 129,299 HD CCTV cameras in the UK by the end of 2012 … that number would rise to over 3.7 million by 2016.”

It’s just another step towards the electronic global village, where every public action taken by every citizen will be monitored by artificial and human intelligence.

And over at Forbes, Andy Greenberg reports “‘pen register’ and ‘trap and trace’ orders, which watch only who a surveillance target communicates with rather than the content of his or her communications — and therefore don’t require a warrant — were aimed at more than 80,000 Americans in 2011.”

It seems as soon as the technology becomes available, the powers-that-be deploy it immediately to keep an eye on us, while keeping the details of their own actions veiled in official secrecy.

Now imagine if the spy tool kit included the ability to recreate so-called psychic remote viewing using man-made technology.

If you think the idea hasn’t crossed the minds of at least a few government officials, well, you’re wrong.

Indeed the idea has been around for a long time. Back in 1999, Dr. Paul Werbos, a program director in the Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation gave a talk on the nature of the mind and included his thoughts on remote viewing.

“Many people at this conference have expressed hope that quantum mechanics might explain things like remote viewing or like the collective unconscious of Jung — wild, crazy things. I would like to point out that no form of quantum mechanics can explain something like remote viewing. It doesn’t matter whether you take Bohmian or my kind or Schwinger’s kind or Copenhagen … because all these different forms of quantum mechanics produce about the same quantum electrodynamics … they yield the same predictions, essentially, for the case of quantum electrodynamics (QED). If you consider electrodynamics, that is not enough to generate remote viewing. We know what is possible with QED. The world has spent billions of dollars trying to use QED in the military to see things far away. We cannot do it. So if you want to explain strange things like remote viewing, the only way is by assuming strange force fields and strange signal processing . You have a choice. There is a great chasm. It is a binary choice. You cannot do it a fuzzy way. Either you give up on these phenomena — you give up on all that stuff — or else you have to open yourself up to really crazy things, much more than just quantum theory.”

Strange force fields and strange information processing: both were at the core of an idea attributed to scientists from the old Former Soviet Union about propagating spin lepton and torsion fields that some Russian para-physicists believed might explain the strange ability for gifted psychics to report details of events and places outside of the range of ordinary human perception.

Another idea that has been widely discussed is the possibility of “backwards time” — the idea that our ordinary experience of causes leading to effects masks another direction of time, one that moves information from the future into the now.

Dr. Werbos later addressed this idea, writing:

“The paradoxes of quantum theory can be understood as the result of causality running backwards through time at the microscopic, quantum level … Various people went on to argue that new evidence (from Libet, Radin and Bierman) shows that the brain can respond 1/4 of a second before a stimulus … parts of this evidence were surprisingly convincing to me, personally, and they posed more acutely the need to revisit the concept of SSRN [a superfast recurrent network] and backwards [time] causality.”

If scientists were someday able to recreate this anomalous strange ability of the human mind to witness events before they happen experimentally — what I have called the human time machine — then it would be possible to create technology that receives messages from the future.

And if that ever happens, poor old Schrodinger’s quantum cat — stuck in a superposition of being alive and dead at the same time — could be in even deeper trouble.

Meanwhile, as confirmed by former senior NSA official Tom Drake on Coast to Coast AM, there is evidence of extraordinary human precognitive abilities of the mind, taking place in a highly non-linear space — experiences of strange fields and strange information processing.

But are those fields a product of mother nature, or is there something alien lurking in the shadows of the mind?

You can read my take on all of this in my book “Quantum of Strangeness: The STAR GATE to 9/11, and Beyond.”

Former NSA Official Tom Drake Confirms UK Psychic Spy 9/11 Warning on Coast to Coast AM

2012-09-18T00:27:00.002+01:00

NSA whistleblower and former senior intelligence official Thomas Andrews Drake went on the record about U.K. psychic spy Christopher Robinson during an interview with investigative reporter George Knapp, on the popular late night talk radio show Coast to Coast AM.

Drake told Knapp that Robinson, a well-known British psychic spy, had warned American authorities of a plot to crash airplanes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center prior to the actual attacks of September 11, 2001.

The Coast to Coast AM radio program is syndicated to more than 500 radio stations across the United States, and is also heard on Sirius XM satellite radio.

“It wasn’t just the wheels came off the constitution, we were in an entirely different vehicle.”

Drake told the story of how he had been compelled to defend the U.S. Constitution against abusive disregard for the rights of American citizens by the National Security Agency following 9/11, which eventually resulted in an indictment under the Espionage Act for whistleblowing and providing unclassified information to a reporter from the Baltimore Sun. The government dropped all ten counts against Drake at the last minute, and Drake agreed to settle for a minor charge of unauthorized use of a government computer, which he compared to using Facebook at work.

I assisted in making the connection between Knapp and his Coast to Coast Producer to Mr. Drake, hoping that Drake would confirm to a national audience information STARstream Research had received from other sources concerning Mr. Robinson’s pre-9/11 warning to American officials.

In the interview, which took place during the late night and early morning four-hour time slot when most American’s are asleep, Knapp asked Drake, “Among the warnings about 9/11 were some unconventional sources — psychics — there’s one in Britain in particular, I think you’re familiar with him, and warnings that something was about to happen, do you give that kind of stuff any credence?”

Drake firmly responded:

Yes. What some people call anomalous phenomena. I got to know Chris Robinson, who’s a precognitive psychic, his unique ability — it’s still not well understood — it’s kind of in a non-linear space — he certainly, and he was having these dreams, and one of the dreams he had was the towers being hit, as well as a number of other things; you know, he dreamed of these dogs — which were symbol of terrorist activity. I’m well aware, and I’ll say it here, I’ve said it to others, but I’ll say it in a little bit more detail — that information — he’d actually gone to the U.S. Embassy — and he had also gone to authorities in the U.K. That information was openly shared with U.S. authorities PRIOR to 9/11 — and it was ignored.
Knapp then asked Drake, “Were you ever party to conversations within NSA about psychic phenomena — psychic abilities as being a tool, an intelligence tool that could be valuable or are you able to talk about that?”

Well — you’re in a very linear environment — you’re in an environment that is bound by computers and programming — and a highly bureaucratic organization at that. Introducing any kind of evidence that’s outside what some would call the bounds of scientific inquiry or the scientific method — especially when it’s non-linear — is like pooh poohed at — but I want you to know there was a number of people I met — not just NSA — other programs we haven’t even mentioned yet, that were, that knew that something wasn’t right — they knew that there were things going on, and they were using other innovative means that were piecing together information.

There’s actually some stuff that had never been revealed — I won’t go into all the details here — some things that even al Qaeda was doing to flag its activities on a worldwide level to send messages.

And I was involved in teams and bringing this to the attention of certain people as an other means of bringing intelligence to the fore and you can act on it. It was all rejected.

I met Chris Robinson — he didn’t even know who I was — I had to be very careful in terms of who I associated with — but I had met Chris Robinson when he was on a trip — one of the trips that he made to the United States — and I heard, I heard the story — I mean, I accept precognitive psychic abilities — given my — there’s other history that I am aware of — is something that does exist, and its not something — a lot of people pooh pooh it, a lot of people dismiss it — but it’s certainly legit.

But you can imagine, in this kind of, this highly bureaucratic structure — a structure that is still based on a cold-war mentality — a very rigid structure — very hierarchical — this type of thinking is so — I mean there’s not even an “out-of-the-box” for it — it’s like, completely dismissed.

You can read more about Drake, Robinson, NSA and the strange quantum physics of precognition in my latest print edition book "The Quantum of Strangeness: The STAR GATE to 9/11, and Beyond." It's now available from Amazon.com.

George Knapp to Interview Former NSA Official Tom Drake on Coast to Coast AM

2012-09-16T04:32:00.001+01:00

I am pleased to announce investigative journalist George Knapp will be interviewing former senior NSA official Thomas Andrews Drake on Coast to Coast AM, tonight, Sunday, September 16, 2012 (or very early Monday morning if you're in the central or eastern time zone in the U.S.).

George Knapp is one of the best investigative journalists in the paranormal/anomalous phenomena and UFO fields, and it was my previous good fortune to have been George's guest on Coast to Coast, once in January 2009 and again, with Dan Throop Smith, in December 2010. (And it would be remiss of me to fail to mention another superb Coast to Coast AM host, George Noory, who interviewed me in November 2009.)

As explained at the Coast to Coast Am website:

Tom Drake "was charged with ten counts of mishandling documents when he blew the whistle and questioned the legality of domestic spying by the National Security agency. He'll join George Knapp to discuss how all of the original charges against him were dropped after he rejected several deals to 'plea bargain with the truth ... Drake accepted a misdemeanor plea agreement for exceeding his authorized use of a government computer. The Department of Justice had been pursuing Drake for alleged violations of the Espionage Act that might have sent him to prison for up to 35 years. But the government withdrew the evidence supporting several of the central charges after a judge ruled Drake would not be able to defend himself unless the government revealed details about one of the National Security Agency’s telecommunications collection programs."

You may recall Mr. Drake from a series of articles I wrote about an alleged psychic spy program run out of the NSA, based upon two independent sources' accounts.

The first source told investigative author Gus Russo about a secret deep black paranormal program managed by NSA Signals Intelligence, back in 2007.

Later, our second source, Christopher Robinson of the United Kingdom, went on the record about experiments he conducted with U.S. intelligence following 9/11. Robinson had attempted to warn U.S. authorities about the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction based upon psychic paranormal dreams, hours before the attacks took place that fateful Tuesday morning. Among the various intelligence officials Robinson met during his trips to the United States was Tom Drake; however, at the time Robinson had no idea Drake worked for and was a senior government official at NSA.

Chris Robinson learned about the NSA connection when Drake's Espionage Act indictment made international news, and was eventually featured in a special investigative report by CBS News 60 Minutes with Scott Pelley, following an excellent article by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker.

So listen in live, if you're awake ... or subscribe to Coast to Coast's "Coast Insider" service and download the show at your convenience.

And for more information about Mr. Drake and Mr. Robinson and the alleged NSA paranormal program, please check out our new STARpod.us website, and my latest print edition book in the "Knowing the Future" series, "Quantum of Strangeness: The STAR GATE to 9/11, and Beyond."

Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers

2012-08-21T11:00:00.000+01:00

Is there an extraterrestrial presence? Are there aliens living among us? Does the government possess advanced alien machines and are they reverse engineering them? And if so, where are the whistleblowers?

The above are the kind of questions often asked by readers of this blog.

In the 21st Century battle for control of information, we have seen massive classified document dumps, unusual and bizarre claims from former government officials, heavily redacted officially declassified government documents, and more.

But to date, no one has produced any kind of documentation linking conspiracy theories of a massive government cover-up of an extraterrestrial alien presence.

And no one has been charged under the Espionage Act for leaking government secrets concerning an extraterrestrial presence, unlike what happened to senior NSA official Thomas Andrews Drake after he secretly contacted a reporter for the Baltimore Sun to blow the whistle on NSA mismanagement.

Numerous former government officials have come forward with strange tales of extraterrestrial contact.

The most notorious example involved two 'birds' from the so-called AVIARY -- alleged former government intelligence officers who appeared on Fox TV in 1988 during a special program called "UFO Cover-up? Live!"

In the early 1990s, Laurance Rockefeller pursued UFO-related information from the Clinton White House.

In the late 1990s, several persons came forward about odd goings on in government related circles. Catherine Austin Fitts 'outed' strange allegations she heard at John L. Petersen's think tank The Arlington Institute.

"In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, D.C. ... John asked me to help him with a high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the Undersecretary of the Navy ... I met with a group of high level people in the military in the process --- including the Undersecretary. According to John, the purpose of the plan --- discussed in front of several military or retired military officers and former government officials--- was to help the Navy adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us ... When I attended one of my first meetings, I joined in discussion with about ten people which included James Woolsey, former head of the CIA in the Clinton Administration, Napier Collyns, founder of Global Business Network and former senior Shell executive, Joe Firmage, John, and other members of the Arlington board."

Over the years, we have heard rumors connecting Mr. Petersen's activities to various highly placed persons in the government. Perhaps the most interesting connection has less to do with UFOs and extraterrestrial aliens and more to do with something the government already has confirmed in the official record: a fascination at the highest levels with 'weaponizing' paranormal phenomena.

"It Came From Outer Space"

2012-08-13T18:14:00.000+01:00

When is a sunken UFO not a UFO? When it’s a SECRET package dropped out of the sky by an American spy satellite. And now the story can be told.

Over the years, numerous classified government programs have become attached to tales of UFO encounters by American military forces.

One such tale was attached to the tragic loss of a Soviet nuclear-armed missile launch submarine that sank with all hands on board in March 1968. The heart of the mystery was the recovery of at least some of the wreckage from the bottom of the sea by the CIA Glomar Explorer platform. Questions were later by raised by UFOlogists when a CIA psychic spy reported mental ‘observations’ of flying discs stalking Soviet submarines.

American intelligence recognized the potential to use UFO tales as cover stories for their real-world activities as far back as the early 1950s, when CIA Director W.B. Smith noted the utility of flying saucer sightings for psychological and counterintelligence operations. And over the years since, CIA and other American intelligence organizations have, according to declassified public records, also engaged in investigations of paranormal phenomena, like the above mentioned psychic ‘remote viewing’ for intelligence collection, leaving a confusing trail of psychological and real-world operations in the official government record.

In 1972, the U.S. Navy submersible Trieste II recovered a valuable object from the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Based upon his research into the Glomar Explorer recovery operation and the mystery of the sinking of Soviet Golf-II submarine K-129, conspiracy author Ken Sewell concluded that the Trieste II had recovered an object two years before the CIA arrived on the scene with their massive ocean-going platform.

Author Sewell reported that the object recovered by the Trieste II had been stored in an on-deck refrigeration unit and placed under manned guard. The need for refrigeration only added to the mystery -- had bodies been recovered? And what, exactly, was under guard?

Sewell’s report was, it turns out, only half right. The Navy -- and the CIA -- had indeed sent the submersible Trieste II to retrieve a valuable object from the depths of the Pacific. And, as some UFOlogists suspected, what they found on the ocean floor had arrived from space. What was recovered, however, was neither an alien machine nor parts of the sunken K-129 Soviet submarine as suggested by author Sewell.

Of RATS and Men: Update on the CIA 'Alien' Hamster Affair

2012-08-10T17:15:00.000+01:00

Why CIA hamsters might not be aliens, but they might be RATS (Rugged Automated Training System) ...

"The best laid schemes of mouse-like hamsters and men ... Often go awry."

A few years ago I wrote a short, humorous article about how our friend Dan Throop Smith was convinced his friend from the CIA, Ron Pandolfi, was working for the White House. "The White House Hamster Guy" closes out my mini-book "Knowing the Future: The UFO Spy Games," which is also the featured mini-series in my "Spies, Lies and Polygraph Tape" anthology.

Inquiring minds want to know: Is our national insecurity guarded by an elite team of specially trained rodents-in-residence?

You may recall that Dan is the son of the late presidential tax policy adviser from Harvard, Dan Throop Smith.

In the summer of 2009, I had several phone conversations with Dan, as he mulled over a trip to the White House gate to demand to see Pandolfi. I told Dan I didn't think this was such a good idea. Dan also related how his CIA friend had "tasked" him to investigate the small mouse-like Afghan hamster.

Concerned that Dan might find himself under arrest for making a scene at the White House gate, I emailed Pandolfi, to advise him of Dan's intention.

When Pandolfi responded, "Dan is welcome any time. We need to catch up on what Dan has learned about hamsters," adding, "Dan knows I am the White House hamster guy. He may have added things up and concluded that hamsters are aliens," I suspected Pandolfi was once again using Dan to leak information about something he was involved in at CIA.

It seems Pandolfi is a stealthy whistle-blower, and Dan is his whistle. But he blows an odd tune.

Dan may have suspected the hamster assignment was a cover story for an alien investigation, but I knew otherwise, having studied Pandolfi's previous leaks, like the story Dan spread concerning Pandolfi's investigation of an American-Chinese High Frequency Gravity Wave research program in 2007. That leak proved to be accurate when the Federation of American Scientists obtained and published online a copy of the For Official Use Only Office of the Director of National Intelligence MITRE / JASON HFGW Study, in 2008. Pandolfi and many of his associates involved with "weird science" were identified in the official government document. Predictably, the FOUO version of the document had the sensitive (and classified) information about the Chinese connection redacted -- but Dan had already leaked numerous emails between the players in the spy game.

Uncertain how to present the information to the public, I disguised the story using titles of movies made by Alfred Hitchcock as "Inside the Spy Game with the Man Who Knew Too Much."

In the emails leaked by Dan, one intelligence source wrote:

"Publicly accusing a person with seven current contracts with the Intelligence Community, four classified -- with a distinguished career in Intelligence to boot, and who is the current Chair of the Science Board for the Undersecretary of Defense for Chem / Nuclear / Biological matters -- as being in the pay of a Foreign Power who is wittingly passing them classified material …"

Pandolfi chastised me over revealing sources and methods, noting that "methods are more important than sources," which, on reflection, explains why Pandolfi is willing to burn his sources, friends and contacts as a means to an end.

Taking all of this under consideration, I suggested Dan had once again become Pandolfi's designated messenger: but what were we to make of this White House Hamster business?

Why had Dan told me Pandolfi was associated with Special Forces? And why did Pandolfi specify Afghan Hamsters?
