In August of 1949 the report of PROJECT GRUDGE was put together (PBB Project Grudge in file 1949 08 1195541 [Blank]) and it included a list of reports, some of which are not found elsewhere.
There is also a page of "RECOMMENDATIONS" that has a most intriguing aspect.
Number 3 lists a recommendation that "psychological Warfare Division and other governmental agencies interested in psychological warfare be informed of the results of this study."
In 1951 when a formal group, created by executive order of the President, is formed as the Psychological Strategy Board it was not, apparently, the first such group formed. What was the purpose and scope of the psychological warfare division? If it was in place, why was a "board" needed and by executive order?
In this 1949 to 1951 time there will emerge the first of the major "Contactee" episodes. They will occur regularly between 1951 and 1963. The message, tone, experience, technology, and aliens encountered in this time period will be vary board and lack a truly cohesive element. As a mystical experience, related to religious or spiritual experiences, this would be the case. Yet, the contactees are all marked one common element: an over-the-top "Buck Rogers" aspect.
In this same window of 1949 through 1963 various covert operations -such as MKULTRA and other projects are playing with people's minds, memories, and lives. They are giving drugs to unknowing subjects, they are conducting medical and psychological tests on unknowing subjects. All - under the guise of government sanctioned programs - to protect the American people. Most of these tests will go unchallenged until the 1970's and the Church Committee investigations. Thousands of documents were destroyed before they could be uncovered and read.
During that same window of time arise a tremendous number of middle and south American UFO experiences that also share a common element with those contactee experiences. They are over-the-top, often violent, and describe encounters from monster aliens to luscious beauties from a Hugh Hefner fantasy.
In both cases, the majority of "contactees" and those outlier South American experiences share a common sense of being "off kilter." The vast majority of global cases - the really good, solid, and scientifically inexplicable cases - had a consistent substructure of form, movements, and other recorded elements. In 1947 and repeated in 1949 was an awareness of this planform, maneuverings, and speed aspect they could not tie to any government no matter how much they tried.
Is it possible that some contactees were the product of a covert government program to test mind-control, behavior modification, and post-hypnotic suggestions? A two birds with one stone result would be a win-win situation for the military and the government as it would allow the troublesome topic of those unexplained objects to be hidden behind a blinder of ridicule and guilt by association. It might allow for the use of secret technology out in the open and then hidden through such means with the same results.
As civilian watch-dog groups of the UFO phenomena developed (APRO, NICAP and others) and a willingness by larger segments of the population to believe in the theory of visitors, government agencies might have moved testing to other regions to test on citizens of those area in similar manner to tests conducted at home.
These theories provide an explanation for the outlier aspects of those experiences and sightings. They help eliminate the confusing distractions of sub-sets of the UFO phenomena which have bothered so many for so long.
Some have looked at the total and tried to make fit a plethora of alien beings, incredible diversity in alien craft shapes, and confusing messages of purpose until what results is a soap opera tale of feuding alliances and alien species. Instead, the truth may be a stripping away of those aspect that do not fit the larger and more consistent sightings over several decades. Then, maybe then, we will be closer to the truth that is poised and waiting to be discovered.
