The Black World of UFOs: Exempt from Disclosure (19 page)

Why now for all of this? Isn’t this just a little outdated? Like so much of the information in this area it’s old to some, but new to others, yet in the same breath, this material has never been released before publicly. The narrative in the main text follows the introduction history as a mix of interviews and discussion which was originally done by Jaime Shandera. Jaime’s last known place of residence was in San Diego CA living with his present wife, but recently, within the last year or so, he moved back to Los Angeles.

Many will complain that “code names” lessen the credibility of the material. This may be true, but the authors have to respect the confidentiality of their sources or else there would be no information. However, in this case, most of the code names have been provided where possible.

(5) Samples of the ‘Bird Code' using the exact words. This was the code used by Ernie Kellerstrass, Rick Doty, Bill Moore, a source at DIA and I Robert Collins in an attempt to set up an interview with an EBE (female, EBE-3?) who was reportedly located in a safe house next to the mall in Washington DC. The Bird Code effort went on from 1987 through 1988. EBE female left in 1989 or ‘93 according to sources, there is confusion on this.

87/88:
In the beginning there were two birds, the Falcon and the Eagle living in the same neighborhood. Their light source shone with two bright nesses. Both birds, although bothered by the Woodpecker, lived happily together in this neighborhood of two bright nesses. At the second phase of their fourth moon trouble began to develop, for the Eagle became frustrated by the Woodpecker’s action. Falcon made its only mistake, for it sided with Woodpecker. A war, which lasted many moon phases, occurred between the Falcon and the Eagle. Once all the feathers were plucked from the Falcon, it became a rare bird. It retired to its nest and slept quietly.

The Eagle Soared

87/88:
 The Eagle soared above the other birds and made nests in their homes. When the Eagle mated with the Blue Jay, the new breed developed. The new breed and rarest bird is called the Condor. The Condor must open the apartment, for if any other bird opens the door first, the other occupants will flee. The door must be opened with a
Special Key
mentioned in the third paragraph of the fifth chapter of the written book. The
Key
will only sleep for one moon phase. Condor must open the door before that time.

The Parrot Spoke Three Times

    
87/88:
The Parrot three times spoke the latter: One in two parts and the Woodpecker taps this message. A few years after tens of thousands of birds flew over Europe: The Eagle acquired three rare birds. Unfortunately one died a few years after. Many years passed while Eagle learned to talk some rare bird: But, mainly the rare bird learned to speak Eagle. These discussions are referred to in the book written in the forth repeat of the twin year the Woodpecker was born.

T
he enigmatic “Men-in-Black” is one of the most sinister and controversial areas in UFO research. For many years, stories have surfaced from researchers and from the casual or incidental sightings of UFOs. If UFO pictures were taken, the witnesses sometimes claimed to have been harassed, intimidated and/or the photos were confiscated from them.

     Men-in-Black (MIB) are usually reported to travel in groups of three. They are often described as slender, swarthy looking characters of European or Gypsy mien that wore wrap-around sunglasses and drove black Cadillacs or Lincolns which appear out of nowhere only to disappear just as mysteriously. Sometimes they flash government credentials. On other occasions they pose as insurance adjusters, utility company personnel or home repair contractors; plumbers, carpet layers, telephone repairmen, gas line inspectors and even reporters for local newspapers. All are favorite ploys that the MIB were reported to have used.

     They would invariably appear in an effort to obtain information from people who had a UFO related experience of some sort coming away with physical evidence of the event. This evidence would usually be of a photographic or video nature.  The Men-in-Black would often obtain the evidence by means of an empty promise to return it at some future date. If promises failed, they would resort to threats, intimidation, harassment or even surreptitious entry of the home, office or place of business of the witness then they would simply vanish.

     Some believe they were clandestine government agents, others argue that they are minions of a powerful underground secret society working in tandem with extraterrestrials to take over the planet.

     A few think they are actually extraterrestrials posing as humans in order to promote some unknown, but invariably sinister agenda.

     On the other side are those who claim it is all hogwash; that the whole thing amounts to nothing more than the typical paranoid hysteria invariably associated with the UFO community’s lunatic fringe: Most attribute the roots of the legend to the promotion of the late Gray Barker (d, 1984), a sensationalistic UFO folklorist and writer of the ‘50s and ‘60s who was well-known for his “spoofs.” If anything, it was Barker’s book,
They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers, (NY: University Books, 1956), plus his numerous pulp magazine articles on the subject which enshrined the Men-in-Black phenomena into the UFO literature.

     Later, John Keel, a friend of Barker’s and a prolific writer of the ‘60s and ‘70s who had been known to appear at lecture presentations dressed entirely in black, carried the torch to new heights in his book, The Mothman Prophecies (NY: Dutton, 1975).

     Curiously, MIB really do exist and they do make occasional appearances to UFO witnesses in order to obtain critical evidence, although such forays are less common than rumor and legend would have us believe. The truth of the matter is that “they” did not create the legend at all, but rather have merely taken opportunistic advantage of it in order to provide cover for their shady operations. 

     As many suspected, they really are government people in disguise. In fact, they were members of a rather bizarre obscure unit of the Air Force Intelligence known in the past as the “Air Force Special Activities Center” (AFSAC). The Air Force Special Activity Center (AFSAC) originated from the Air Force Intelligence Agency, Service, Wing, and Division. Air Force Intelligence started in 1949 after it was the Army Intelligence Group. Various names were changed over the years. AFSAC was devoted primarily to the collection of Human Intelligence or “HUMINT” (i.e., intelligence obtained, often covertly, directly from human sources as opposed to that which has been gathered electronically ELINT). The workings of this unit and its predecessors have long been among the most secretive operations of the military intelligence community.

     As of 1991, AFSAC, headquartered at Ft. Belvoir,VA, had been under the operational authority of the Air Force Intelligence Command centered at Kelly Air Force Base in Texas. The obscure history of this unit goes back to at least the early 1950s and perhaps the late 1940s when it was known as the 1006th Air Intelligence Service Squadron. In July 1959, the 1006th became the 1127th Field Activities Group, which in turn became the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group in the early ‘80s and finally AFSAC around 1983.

     The Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Defense Humint Services (DHS) eventually absorbed AFSAC in 1999. One or more probable reasons for the periodic reshuffling of names and numbers is to keep the unit’s operations as well hidden as possible or it could just be bureaucratic bean counters at work. Many a researcher abandoned the search when an agency or unit appears to have ceased all activity with no indication of its new designation.

    
There is no question that this group has been connected with the clandestine collection of UFO related information from its earliest inception and that it often made use of three-man teams in its operations (refer back to
last chapter on Rick Doty).

Indeed, two documents released back in 1991, under the Freedom of Information Act, provide evidence of this.

     The first of these, AFCIN Policy Letter 205-13 dated 12 April 1960, clearly states that the 1127th “participates in Project Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) in accordance with AFCIN-P1 Policy Letter 205-10, dated 19 January 1960.” The second heavily censored FOIA document titled “History of the 1127th Field Activities Group” for 1 January 1960 through 30 June 1960 states on page 20 that, “10 three-man teams (five airborne and five ground) are maintained on an alert roster for the 1127th’s Project ‘Moon Dust’ recovery of space vehicles.”

     In addition, a curious mid-1960 USAF/OSI (Office of Special Investigation) memorandum on the subject of “Donald E. Keyhoe/Mercury Enterprises, Inc.” states unequivocally, “Files relating to UFOs are maintained in two places; at ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center) headquarters at Wright-Patterson AFB (Ohio), and at the 1127th Field Activity Group, Ft. Belvoir, VA.

     AFOSI is an organization whose operations have always been closely allied with those of the 1127th/AFSAC and it is not uncommon for OSI personnel to be assigned to special duty within the unit as they certainly were during the Bennewitz affair.

     Even more importantly, according to J.R. Richelson’s The U.S. Intelligence Community (Cambridge, MA: Ballinger, 1985):

     “The Air Force Special Activities Center at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia provided centralized management of all Air Force activities involved in the collection of information from human sources. These activities include clandestine collection as well as the debriefing of directors.”

     Mentioned earlier, AFSAC was previously known as the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group and prior to that the 1127th Field Activities Group.

     The 1127th was described as "an oddball unit, a composite of special intelligence groups. The men of the 1127th were con artists. Their job was to 'get people to talk." The 1127th Field Activities Group had two squadrons: the 1167th and 1116th. The 1167th squadron was headquartered at Weisbaden and contained the following detachments: Det 1, Schierstein; Det 2, Berlin; Det 3, Hahn; Det 4, Wuenheim; Det 5, Oslo and Det 6, Bentwaters.
