EXEMPT from Legal Recourse

INVESTIGATION UNCOVERS SPY GAME SURROUNDING UFO MYSTERY

The first story on this page was originally retracted from publication at the request of a Senior Intelligence Official. Some time after the original publication date, new information was provided to Starstream Research. As a result of the new information, Starstream Research made an editorial decision to re-release the original story, as originally written, with only the name and position of the offcial redacted:

Intelligence Analyst Exposed by Washington Insider

July 3, 2006

Leaked background information from Washington insider Dan T. Smith has made its way into a widely distributed email list, resulting in the public exposure of a top intelligence analyst. His name is [redacted], also widely known as 'Ron,' the real-life Fox Mulder of the CIA. In 1998 [redacted] appeared in a Pulitzer Prize winning story in the New York Times, concerning his role in the CIA investigation of a controversial missile technology transfer between Hughes Electronic Corporation and China.  Today [redacted] sports a shiny new DIA military email address, lending some support to Mr. Smith's claim that [redacted] has moved to [redacted] under Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte.

A series of allegations were passed by Mr. Smith to Victor Martinez, and shortly thereafter appeared in a series of emails distributed by Martinez to an extensive list of contacts, including numerous scientists with government email addresses, a Nobel prize winner, various journalists, a former Director of the CIA, and other former and present government employees and consultants. Several of the recipients are high ranking intelligence officials and consultants to the U.S. government in the area of national security.

Allegations coming from Mr. Smith include claims that bits of actual top secret information had been passed in a series of bogus UFO papers,
popularly known as the MJ-12 documents. At issue was the identity of "Falcon," an alleged member of the so-called AVIARY group of U.S. government insiders interested in the impact of the UFO question on national security.

Smith mentions a 1988 meeting at the CIA between Air Force Colonels Hennessey and Weaver and the CIA's [redacted] to discuss questionable activities by ex-AFOSI Special Agent Richard C. Doty. Doty is well known for his involvement in Air Force counter-intelligence activities involving UFO's. One item of discussion at the 1988 meeting was the result of a polygraph test administered to Agent Doty. When CIA analyst [redacted] and [redacted], a polygraph expert, disputed Hennessey's claim that Doty had failed the test, Smith says they walked out.

In an email response to a request for confirmation of Mr. Smith's allegations, [redacted] offered the following opinion:

"It was Doty who claimed Col. Hennessey was the Falcon, and it was Doty who claimed Col. Hennessey had provided him (Doty) with UFO documents for release to the public.  My opinion is that Doty personally forged these documents, that he used the Falcon name to cover his tracks, and that he had absolutely no professional or personal relationship with Col. Hennessey."

According to his official USAF biography, Colonel Hennessey is "a member of the Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service, is Director of Security, Counterintelligence and Special Program Oversight, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. He is responsible for security and CI (counter-intelligence) policy as well as management oversight of all Air Force Security and Special Access Programs, which includes ensuring the security of various research projects with significant potential impact on the defense capabilities of this country."

Allegations of Federal Investigation Over UFO Tale

Rather than add to the ever-growing shadow of confusion, let me make one point quite clear. The same official of the United States Government that previously requested that Starstream Research remove specific items from a story we published and later retracted in July of this year (2006) has also raised a serious issue about a potential threat to the national security, perhaps involving espionage and foreign powers, and has acted to interpret that threat to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. We aren't about to release his name, position or name his associates that are tangentially involved in this sordid affair, but we have been partially freed to tell this tale by a mutual contact, our man in Washington, Dan T. Smith, who faithfully produces a blog about his (mis-?) adventures with the men in black suits.

A Starstream Research Special Investigation Series:

EXEMPT from LEGAL RECOURSE

Investigation Uncovers Spy Game Surrounding UFO Mystery

Were secure vaults breached at Los Alamos, a USAF base, and other locations? A national security issue buried in a UFO tale has been interpreted to an official under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Starstream Research investigates in a new on-line feature series titled, "Exempt from Legal Recourse."

Truth is often stranger than fiction. No where is this more apparent than in the latest on-going revelations detailed by the on-line investigative report produced by Starstream Research.

Starstream Research is a private provider of intelligence and analysis on futuristic national and international defense, security and risk developments.

New details released by Starstream Research, and distributed by The American Chronicle, reveal that in late August of this year three agents of the Washington Bureau of the FBI met with an undisclosed party and discussed a UFO tale involving several former and present government intelligence officers. The UFO tale surrounds a loosely knit and unofficial group of government insiders known as the AVIARY, because they were covertly identified only by bird names. Some members of the AVIARY remain unknown, with several of their real identities in dispute.

Questions have been raised over reported entry by UFO researchers, including a former counter-intelligence officer, into secure government vaults at Los Alamos National Laboratory, a USAF base, and other locations.

On-going contact with U.S. Government officers and consultants by an independent investigator reporting to Starstream Research initiated the new private investigation. Confirmation that the FBI had been apprised of some of the activities was independently confirmed by another unnamed source who requested not to be identified.

The most interesting aspect of the case appears to be the release of personal and confidential email messages to an independent investigator close to Starstream Research, via a private citizen who received copies forwarded from an officer of the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The DNI is the highest level of the U. S. intelligence community. Confirmation of concerns over the leak of messages was independently received from a second source by the editor of Starstream Research, and by an independent contributor.

The purpose of the transfer of the messages remains an issue of discussion, but suggests a counter-intelligence operation. The issue was brought before the FBI when reviewing national security clearance and procedure. The independent researcher that contributes to Starstream Research has refrained from publishing copies of the email messages.

The new investigation originated from a special series at the Starstream Research website titled, "Invasion: Earth?" which examined claims from government officers and consultants about an alien presence based upon the moon. Substantial government sourced documentation, recently released by the CIA under Congressional mandate, provided new corroborating evidence for the claims of former CIA test subject Ingo Swann, as originally told in his out of print book, "Penetration."

After reviewing new information presented by Starstream Research on the Ingo Swann affair, a former CIA senior analyst commented, "You do a service. Excellent analysis from what is officially released material needs constancy of theme and purpose, not simply "expose'" morning coffee. You do excellent analysis. I sure as heck am learning things I didn't know, but which fit like my hands in gloves I was shown but never allowed to try and put on."

Additional details are presently under review by the editor of Starstream Research, as the investigation remains on-going.

U P D A T E : New details released by the on-line investigative report produced by Starstream Research

November 1st, 2006 Press Release

FBI Told of National Security Issue Buried in UFO Tale

An on-going investigation by the on-line investigative report produced by Starstream Research revealed that in late August of this year three agents of the Washington Bureau of the FBI met with an undisclosed party and discussed a UFO tale involving several former and present government intelligence officers. Following this meeting concerns were raised that secure government vaults may have been breached at a USAF base and Los Alamos National Laboratory, under the guise of a 'harmless' UFO investigation.

Previously concerns had been raised that sensitive or classified material was passed in a series of counterfeit government UFO documents. One government source suggested that counter-intelligence information targeted to the KGB had been publicly released within some of the documents.  A prior investigation by the FBI had concluded that the documents were "bogus."

Starstream Research first learned of the renewed interest in the bogus
documents from a regular contributor to the on-line report, following on-going contact with a high ranking U.S. Government intelligence officer. An amicable meeting with the officer and his wife in Washington, D.C. later took on a bizarre twist, when the SSR contributor was accused of asking inappropriate questions about a sensitive operation, resulting in cancellation of previously scheduled meetings with a former USAF counter-intelligence officer at the center of the UFO tale.

Gary S. Bekkum, the founder of Starstream Research, commented, "It does appear that we (SSR) may have bumped into a counter-intelligence operation during the course of our investigation.  Although our focus has been on documented government interest in unusual phenomena for intelligence gathering, we suspect the use of phenomenology for intelligence may be closely tied to real cloak and dagger activities, both past and present."

It is now known that the CIA previously welcomed UFO reports as convenient cover for real-life spy plane sightings. One theory is that intelligence operations continue to infiltrate the world-wide network of phenomenologists and encourage their activities for a similar purpose.

It is also suspected that other governments have similar networks in place, and that may be the source of the on-going concern over the UFO material.

According to Bekkum, "There has been a lot of finger pointing involved, and that is what appears to have lead to FBI involvement, when they were alerted to the UFO activities during a review of other security issues."

FBI Told of National Security Issue Buried in UFO Tale

November 2, 2006

Undisclosed government and other sources have confirmed to the private intelligence report

www.startreamresearch.com

that the FBI has been apprised of concerns over a possible national security breach involving former government intelligence officers.

An on-going investigation by Starstream Research revealed that in late August of this year three agents of the Washington Bureau of the FBI met with an undisclosed party and discussed a UFO tale involving several former and present government intelligence officers. Multiple sources have confirmed that following this meeting concerns were raised that secure government vaults may have been breached at a USAF base and Los Alamos National Laboratory, under the guise of a 'harmless' UFO investigation.

Discussion of this issue was directed to an official under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and eventually transmitted between official government email servers. Some of the confidential information was passed to a SSR contributing writer, and later confirmed by a party directly involved in the investigation.

The SSR contributing writer has received a request not to publish transcripts of confidential email messages on the web.

Previously concerns had been raised that sensitive or classified material had been passed in a series of counterfeit government UFO documents. One government source suggested that counter-intelligence information targeted to the KGB had been publicly released within some of the documents. A prior investigation by the FBI had concluded that the documents were "bogus."

Starstream Research first learned of the renewed interest in the bogus documents from an independent researcher, following on-going contact with a high ranking U.S. Government intelligence officer. An amicable meeting with the officer and his wife in Washington, D.C. later took on a bizarre twist, when the researcher was accused of asking inappropriate questions about a sensitive operation, resulting in cancellation of previously scheduled meetings with a former USAF counter-intelligence officer and other sources at the center of the UFO tale.

A consultation with the researcher and another source present at the meeting determined that the most likely explanation involved a deliberate effort to scare off potential sources of information about the AVIARY, an unofficial and loosely knit group of present and former government intelligence officers interested in the UFO phenomenon. It was later suggested that Starstream Research may have bumped into a counter-intelligence operation during the course of the investigation.

The founder of Starstream Research commented, "Although our focus has been on documented government interest in unusual phenomena for intelligence gathering, we suspect the use of phenomenology for intelligence may be closely tied to real cloak and dagger activities, both past and present."

It is now known that the CIA previously welcomed UFO reports as convenient cover for real-life spy plane sightings. One theory is that intelligence operations continue to infiltrate the world-wide network of phenomenologists and encourage their activities for a similar purpose.

It is also suspected that other governments have similar networks in place, and that may be the source of the on-going concern over the UFO material.

The extent of any additional reporting to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is not known.

Involvement by the FBI appears to have raised a red flag, marking a demarcation line drawn between personal interest in government cover-up of UFO phenomena and more serious issues involving top secret clearance.  There has been a lot of finger pointing involved, and that is what appears to have lead to FBI involvement, when they were alerted to the UFO activities during a review of other security issues.

Some members of the AVIARY have developed the reputation of being 'untouchable' in spite of semi-public breaches of confidential information.
