(STARpod.org) -- Call it the "Weird Science of National Insecurity."
According to official records released by the CIA, it's been going on since 1953.
According to the legend, it all started in the summer of 1947, near Roswell, New Mexico.
Whispered alongside concerns about new Chinese offensive capabilities against the US Pacific Fleet -- missile "bomblets" for which the US Navy has no existing deterrent -- is the "phenomenology problem."
And if some of my sources, both inside and outside of government, are to be believed, it always comes back to the UFO issue.
The question remains: are the UFOs from "out there" or is there a more earthly explanation involving the intelligence community and deep black covert military cover stories?
One man, and one man alone appears to occupy the best possible position to probe into the facts, fantasies, and fallacies behind the real-life
"X-files" of UFOs, alien visitors, spies, lies, and polygraph tape.
And it is this same man, CIA's Ronald (Ron) S. Pandolfi, who, in thelatter half of 2006, forwarded a series of emails discussing a possible violation of national security involving Internet tales of
extraterrestrial visitations.
NEW : View Ron Pandolfi's 'X-files
Research archive
The messages provided by Pandolfi tied together several threads aimed at government disclosure of an alleged "phenomenology problem" -- and raised disturbing new questions about methods, motivations, and sources behind government-related persons and their involvement with forbidden
topics.
Pandolfi first hit mainstream news pages in the late 1990s, following an investigation of unauthorized technology transfers from American defense
contractors to the People's Republic of China.
Ken Timmerman, writing for the American Spectator, claimed that "Ronald Pandolfi was the CIA's highest ranking scientist when he visited the headquarters of Hughes Space and Communications in El Segundo, California in 1996."
Congressional Research Service Reports state that:
"A CIA analyst, Ronald Pandolfi, briefed the Senate Intelligence Committee on what he had found in 1995 about Hughes' review of the explosion of a Long March rocket in January 1995. The CIA then allegedly
alerted Hughes about Pandolfi's briefing, reportedly according to an internal CIA cable dated September 23, 1998. The committee then asked Attorney General Janet Reno for a criminal investigation into whether the CIA improperly obstructed a Senate investigation."
According to Timmerman, "After Pandolfi testified in closed session before Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), he was removed from the China division and put to work on developing alternative energy sources."
Some believe the "alternative energy sources" include exotic spacecraft propulsion systems with capabilities associated with intelligently controlled extraterrestrial flying objects.
By 1999, Pandolfi, already known for his involvement with controversial official investigations of the CIA, was receiving attention for his interest in alternative topics, like UFOs.
According to UFO investigator Grant Cameron, Pandolfi had been busy working behind the scenes, several years before the Hughes affair, to arrange the creation of a UFO briefing document for President Clinton's Science Advisor Jack Gibbons.
A few years before being called to testify in the closed Senate intelligence hearings, Pandolfi received a call from a foreign national using the alias "Dr. Armen Victorian."
During a lengthy phone conversation "Dr. Victorian" grilled Pandolfi on his involvement with the official weirdness that had transpired at the DIA in the mid-1980s.
The DIA had been connecting their ultra-secret psychic spy research, which included plans to track Soviet submarines using "anomalous mental phenomena," to reports of unidentified flying objects. At one point in the conversation Pandolfi mentions former New York Times journalist Howard Blum and his book /Out There/.
Blum's narrative was built around his exposure of a secret government "UFO Working Group."
In the recorded conversation obtained by STARstream Research, Pandolfi nonchalantly tells "Dr. Victorian" that "I was a member of that working group."
Pandolfi goes on to discuss numerous points of interest to UFO researchers, noting that his own interest in the UFO subject should not be interpreted as representing official CIA involvement.
About this same time, Pandolfi struck up a friendship with Dan Smith, who had been busy investigating crop circles with paranormal expert Rosemary Ellen Guiley.
Dan Smith's claim to fame includes his father, Dan Throop Smith, "a renowned Harvard economist who had served as the Treasury Department's top tax adviser during the Eisenhower administration" according to the Washington Post, and his older sister, Deborah, a friend of President George H. W. Bush (according to the White House, as reported in another Washington Post story).
My first direct contact from Ron Pandolfi arrived unsolicited by email on September 30th, 2000.
Dan Smith had been involved in a hot discussion with a private email discussion group. Smith was trying to convince the group that his interactions with Pandolfi were evidence of CIA's interest in all things
paranormal.
Smith's contribution to conspiracy paranoia was summed up in a not-too-well-disguised reference to the alleged MAJESTIC MJ-12 government UFO cabal:
"Also it appears that Ron wants me to be a bus driver. He wants me to obtain a bus and paint it to look like an 'official' MTA bus, and go around the city picking up passengers at the bus stops, but instead of delivering them to their usual destinations, I will take them on an eschatological tour. When I told Ron that might be construed as being illegal, he did not seem perturbed."
And then, for those not paying close attention, Dan added:
"Would I lie to you? Do you think for a minute that these were not my 'official' instructions from a person who seems no longer inclined to deny membership in 'MTA-12'?"
The elusive Pandolfi responded to the entire list:
"Is it a ferret or a weasel that Dan will be adopting for the avian birthday? They are closely related, but they have very different characteristics ... I am ready to purchase a bus ticket for Dan's eschatological tour, as long as I get to select at least one of the stops. Who else will join the adventure? Where will it end?"
Eschatology is the study of the final events, destiny and fate of the human race. The "avian" birthday probably refers to a legendary group of
past and present government intelligence persons who had been assigned bird names to conceal their identities as part of a 1980s UFO cover-up investigation.
The recipients of Pandolfi's reply included former US Web CEO Joe Firmage, who was investigating reverse engineered alien technology at the International Space Sciences Organization, and psychic mentalist Uri Geller.
Dan Smith's "tour bus" of the "world wide web," the same sticky net that had brought riches to Joe Firmage, was about to become a spidery snare
for intelligence persons and paranormal researchers around the globe.
It seemed that Dan Smith was at least half right about his concern that he had been engaged by Pandolfi to gather together "persons of interest."
In the intelligence world it is known as "flypaper theory."
Ultimately one learns that the paranormal "flypaper" is shared by government officials in numerous services and agencies.
How they interact with each other over questions of national security (in the midst of tales of psychic spying and alien intervention) is harder to discern.
In Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare at Goats, Uri Geller, whose psychic powers had been officially investigated by the CIA in the 1970s, claimed he had been recruited into George Bush's War on Terror.
"The man who reactivated me is ..." Uri told Ronson, "called Ron."
Smith claimed his friend at CIA had prior knowledge of the events of September 11th, 2001.
"I understand that you have gone to the FBI with this information?" I asked.
"Correct. On about 9/19/01 I met with a female agent right outside the Baltimore FBI office and gave her my and Ron's particulars and a synopsis of what had transpired between us in the previous two weeks. She took notes and said they would handle it. They would have already been aware of my being part of Ron's special domestic collection effort.
On that same day I also contacted Chris Straub, former ranking member on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, with whom Ron and I had
previously met."
Smith told me about a previous trip to see the FBI.
The first time around it was concerning Ron's interest in Dan and his "joint mission" with paranormal author Rosemary Ellen Guiley.
According to Smith, "In the previous attempt at a joint mission (c. 1992) I was told, somewhat after the fact, that my prospective partner's agenda was simply unknown. Whatever it was, it quickly degenerated into her personal agenda. BTW, she was being vectored in my direction by ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence). And now she has been vectored back to Towson, as she announced last weekend."
Smith wrote to me, "The first time was to get some feedback on CF [Smith's code for Pandolfi]. I was unable to get any until I had three meetings with Chris Straub, c.'95. He was then the ranking staff member for the Senate Intel. Comm. CF joined us for the final meeting that was in the cafeteria. Bottom line: Chris was knowledgeable concerning
eschatology, and he told me, 'to rest assured that I was dealing with some very competent people' ... Recall that I was indirectly responsible for the Inspector General's investigation of CF in '92-93, ... CF reported that it was a six month, $100K investigation in which he was cleared of any wrong doing."
Many have questioned the veracity of Mr. Smith regarding his reporting of the activities of his friend Ron Pandolfi, which Smith loosely conceals using "code names" wrapped inside of his own philosophical
meanderings.
Pandolfi confirmed to another researcher interested in UFO tales that were spreading on the Internet:
"Although sometimes acting in the capacity of the insane, Mr. Smith is very clever, capable, and well informed."
In 2004, I asked the FBI about Pandolfi and possible CIA and DIA interactions with U.S. citizens over the Internet.
The email response to my inquiry arrived from the local FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
"Please call me with your concerns on this issue. You are correct in that there are some guidelines that must be followed for contact but, I am not comfortable detailing those here."
Apparently, whatever Pandolfi was involved in was too sensitive to discuss by email.
On January 18, 2006, Dr. Jack Sarfatti, a physicist based in San Francisco, forwarded an email to my attention.
Sarfatti speculated that Ron Pandolfi had sent the names of the DIA TIGER committee members interested in UFO technology in an email "intercepted by NSA."
In typical spy-elicitation style, the message Sarfatti forwarded to me read:
"Jack, Ron P. told me today that you very likely know the names of all the members of the National Academy of Sciences "UFO" tiger team. If this is true, could you please tell me who they are. I have come up with something he wants briefed to them. Mark."
Somewhere, hidden between real technology transfers and alternative scientists interested in "reverse engineering UFO technologies," was a
hot potato national security issue.
Jeff Gerth, writing for the New York Times, tied the previous Pandolfi affair to the White House:
"The concern of Congress involves broad issues of national security. It was the Senate panel on proliferation that asked the Pentagon to assess
the national security implications of the 1995 accident review. And the Senate Intelligence Committee, officials said, is looking at whether
what happened to Pandolfi is part of a larger question: Has the Clinton administration's strategic partnership with Beijing affected the way the
intelligence community sees China?"
In the 1990s Pandolfi had been called before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to testify about the transfer of technology expertise to
the Chinese by American defense contractors.
Ten years later, China would be at the center of another technology concern brought to Pandolfi's attention: the conversion of electromagnetic microwaves to high frequency gravity waves.
In a video made by Jack Sarfatti with new-age physics author Fred Alan Wolf, Dan Smith claimed Pandolfi was now running MASINT, a highly
technical form of intelligence on the front stage of the war on terror.
During the interview, filled with tall tales of an extraterrestrial visitation "core story," Smith explained that Pandolfi had left CIA and was working for the new Office of the Director of National Intelligence under the command of John Negroponte.
Other items, forwarded to me, reinforced Smith's claims, including messages bearing Pandolfi's Defense Intelligence Agency email address.
As with most of the rumors passed about the UFO community, and in spite of the numerous sources who had taken one small footstep into the light, actual confirmation seemed to remain firmly within Pandolfi's grasp.
In 2006, an acting source to STARstream Research (STARpod.org) from the United Kingdom visited with Dan Smith, Ron Pandolfi and Pandolfi's wife Susan.
Pandolfi later reported to us that our source, the foreign national, had asked "inappropriate questions" about his "real work."
Both our source and Mr. Dan Smith deny this.
One possibly sensitive topic of conversation may have been the CIA's 1970s Glomar recovery operation. Detailed information concerning the
Glomar "Project Jennifer" recovery remains a closely held secret.
According to Mr. Smith, as a young college student, Pandolfi was visited by "a couple of suits" when he questioned the true nature of the Glomar
operation, based upon lab analysis of alleged Glomar samples provided by Pandolfi's uncle.
In June 2006, Mr. Smith described a conversation with Pandolfi involving the UFO core story and a previous revelation of government complicity of
the extraterrestrial kind.
In the 1980s, UFO revelations were largely driven by a series of "leaked" but unconfirmed documents about a government group known as MAJESTIC, presumably managed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as MAJIC (JIC being the ubiquitous acronym for Joint Intelligence Committee) and under command of MJ-12.
Over the years, an ever growing number of MJ related documents have been debunked by skeptics for various perceived flaws and their idiosyncratic
design.
Dan Smith reported, "Ron [Pandolfi] is now stating that some of the faked MJ-12 documents contained actually declassified information unrelated to UFO's ... Ron wondered out loud if persons involved in the MJ-12 document affair would respond to an FBI warrant concerning the
transfer of classified material to the KGB."
The related 1988 national broadcast of UFO Cover-Up Live, which brought together American intelligence sources identified only by bird names (the so-called AVIARY) with Soviet researchers, revealed SECRET
government information hidden within the broadcast.
One man whose name is often identified with investigation of the AVIAN/MJ-12 Affair is USAF Colonel Barry Hennessey.
It was Pandolfi who had initially blessed Smith's efforts to mention Barry Hennessey in a public forum, as early as June 2006.
According to Smith, Pandolfi had been searching for traces of the USAF BLUE BOOK during a visit to Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
BLUE BOOK was an acknowledged Air Force vestigation into the UFO phenomena which had been closed down at the end of the 1960s. According
to Smith, Pandolfi was working with someone who had been involved.
I wrote an article about Pandolfi's involvement with the USAF UFO affair, and sent him a draft copy for comments.
When Pandolfi asked that certain information be redacted from the article, he cited protection of "sources and methods."
The mainstream media overlooked the fact that this highly placed senior intelligence official was openly conducting intelligence-related activities on the Internet.
Confirmation of Pandolfi's new role arrived when the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the sanitized version of his High Frequency Gravity Wave Study.
"JASON (a group of elite scientific experts providing consultation services to the government) was asked by staff at the National MASINT Committee of ODNI to evaluate the scientific, technological, and national security significance of high frequency gravitational waves (HFGW). The subject of High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) has attracted considerable interest in the US government over the last few years."
"We are especially grateful to Ronald Pandolfi and Mark Pesses of ODNI for their continued help in arranging briefers and documentation."
The release of the MITRE JASON study appears intended to be an officially sanctioned "outing" of Pandolfi. Names of active government officials are often redacted from official documents.
The JASON study initiated by Pandolfi debunked a Chinese-American research collaboration into the theory and application of "high frequency gravity waves" (HFGW) for communication and surveillance.
Some theories of HFGW are loosely related to the esoteric research of UFO propulsion systems, including the so-called Podkletnov effect, named after the Russian experimentalist who briefly dazzled the aerospace industry, including NASA, with claims of antigravity effects and gravity-like force beams.
The UFO physics of high frequency gravity waves, the Chinese connection, and a possible case of international espionage concealed inside the UFO
"core story" were the proverbial tips of the iceberg.
My own "considerable interest," which had originated with Mr. Smith's observations, had been confirmed in an "official document," less the "classified portion" which I suspected would include information about
the Chinese connection.
I wondered how much more could be learned from Smith's cryptic references to his friend?
When I was first made aware of Dr. Pandolfi's position at ODNI, Pandolfi requested that I remove his association with DIA and MASINT from one of
my articles.
In addition to the testimony provided by Smith, an email was forwarded to me from Pandolfi confirming that he was working out of an office operated by the DIA. Some email messages sent by Pandolfi appeared to have originated from DIA servers.
Dan Smith cited several items which he believed signaled the possibility of a core revelation, including Pandolfi's "recent elevation at DNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence]," a book by former USAF Captain Robert Collins which claimed to reveal the details behind an outlandish government cover-up of the UFO core story, and a proposed meeting to approach Dr. Henry Kissinger, who was rumored to have held the highest level position within an alleged UFO committee at the National Security Council.
"Mr. Smith is correct regarding my position with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, "Pandolfi would later write to one researcher, a fact now verified by the official release of Pandolfi's
DIA/MASINT high frequency gravity wave study"
"Currently my component is housed within a DIA facility and we use their servers for Internet access so my official e-mail ends with @dia.mil."
Pandolfi had questioned whether the seduction of otherworldly sources within the core story had been used to penetrate the blackness of government secrecy.
Whether or not there is any truth to the tales of extraterrestrial involvement, one thing is clearly reflected in this "wilderness of mirrors": the U.S. government is actively involved, for whatever reason, with the UFO community.
Pandolfi has since moved on to another government office, based upon reports from both Dan Smith and Mark Pesses of the ODNI MASINT.
His new assignment remains unknown.

Grand Forks Air Force Base:
Location: This base is located 16 miles west of Grand Forks, North Dakota.Description: This base was put on alert during the 1975 Loring AFB intrusions. It experienced its own intrusions also during 1975.
Groom Lake Test Facility:
Location: About 120 Miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the Nellis Air Force Range. The base is constructed on the edge of the Groom Lake salt bed in the dry Emigrant Valley between two jagged mountain ranges.Description: Officially, the base that created the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird Spyplanes, doesn't exist. The base can not be seen on any public map. Old Government maps will list it as Area 51. It is a common hotspot for UFOs and it is believed that a new Mach-8 spyplane, nicknamed Aurora, has been developed there. It is also believed that an aircraft made from UFO technology, the Human- Piloted Alien Craft (H-PAC), was developed there. Bob Lazar, an nuclear physicist who claims he was hired by the government to study an alien propulsion system, said that another facility, called S-4 (Section-4), is located just south of Groom Lake at Papoose Lake (also dry). There have been many UFO sightings and cattle mutilations in and around the area. Base personnel have disappeared during nighttime UFO activity. Area 51 has a formidable security system (the area is protected by a group of Green berets). Recently, the USAF gained control over a key ridge near Groom Lake, from which you could see the installation (read USAF Claims Freedom Ridge for more information). A 1988 Soviet Satellite photo shows a high-security compound at one end of the base, purpose unknown.
Holloman Air Force Base:
Location: Approximately 15 km. southwest of Alamogordo, New Mexico.Description: This air base is a well known testing site for experimental aircraft. It is also near where the first A-bomb was tested. On April 25, 1964 (12 hours after the famous Soccoro, New Mexico, UFO landing), a UFO (escorted by 2 others that remained in the air) landed at this base. Three aliens got out of the craft and talked with base officials. This story was confirmed by Richard C. Doty (possible pseudonym), a retired counterintelligence officer with the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations (OSI).
Homestead Air Force Base:
Location: Florida.Description: This base is suspected of keeping alien bodies in a Top-secret, underground repository.

Location: Just Northeast of Limestone, Maine.Description: During 1975, a rash of UFO sightings occurred over this base. The base, along with others, was put on a "Security Option 3" and was told to prepare to "Defend against a helicopter assault". However, the UFOs were never identified as helicopters, and many witnesses said they looked like bright "stretched-football" crafts about the size of a car. Jets were scrambled to intercept the UFOs, but their attempts proved unsuccessful. This base has nuclear weapons installations.
Los Alamos Research Facility:
Location: Los Alamos (north of Santa Fe), New Mexico.Description: This facility is owned and operated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). It was the site of the famous "Manhattan Project" that developed the Atom Bomb. UFOs have been sighted over this facility. This facility is suspected to have analyzed UFO wreckage and EBEs from the 1947 Roswell Crash. Between 1948 and 1952, UFOs were spotted over the facility by personnel.
Luke Air Force Base:
Location: Arizona.Description: UFOs have been sighted over this air base.
Malstrom Air Force Base:
Location: Montana.Description: This is a base that was put on alert in 1975 after the Loring AFB intrusions. In 1975, UFOs were spotted (both visually and by radar) hovering over the base's Nuclear Missile Installations. Closer examination of the missiles revealed that the UFOs had somehow tampered with the missiles. Jets were scrambled to intercept these UFOs, but the UFOs were far superior to any military aircraft and therefore could not be shot down.
March Air Force Base:
Location: California.Description: This installation is a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base. UFOs have been spotted over this base.
Maxwell Air Force Base:
Location: Near Prattville, Alabama.Description: Two base security policemen spotted a UFO over this base.

Many UFOs were spotted in and around this base during the 1975 UFO-flap (especially over the base's Weapons Storage Area). Fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the UFOs, but their attempts were useless.
OTHER COUNTRIES
Australia
Pine Gap Research Facility:
Location: Located 12 miles from Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.Description: This base is described as a "Defense Space Research Facility" sponsored by both the American and the Australian defense departments. It is run by the American National Security Agency (NSA). This secret communications base serves primarily as a downlink for geosynchronous SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) Satellites. It is suspected to be monitoring UFO communications. UFOs have been sighted in and around the base. It is believed that there is an underground alien base on the facility's grounds.
Canada
Falconbridge Air Force Station:
Location: Near Northbay, Ontario, Canada.Description: In 1975, this Radar Station experienced rash of UFO sightings. American jets were scrambled to intercept the UFOs, after the Canadians requested.
England
Bentwaters Air Force Base (a.k.a. RAF Bentwaters):
Location: Near Bentwaters, England.Description: In 1980, UFOs were sighted (one hovering above the ground), at very close range, by base personnel in Rendlesham forest (a few miles from the base). The personnel were threatened into silence and the public was misinformed about the incident.
Iran
Shahrokhi Air Force Base:
Location: In Hamadan, Iran.Description: In 1976, jets were dispatched from this base to pursue UFOs. The UFOs, which were spotted by the public, and the pilots (and subsequently confirmed by radar), outmaneuvered these jets. Every time the jets approached the crafts, their systems failed. The smaller of the two UFOs engaged one jet, causing it to break off the chase. The smaller UFO landed behind a hill while the larger "Mother Ship" dissappeared into the sky. Military Helicopters dispatched later to find the UFO that apprently landed reported no evidence of a landing.
