Sometimes in the process of research truths appear that bring deep sadness, anger, or mystification. Finding, again, the evidence of the reality of a real-life horror in the Church Committee investigations of the CIA's MKULTRA project. Following the trial to learn of the two programs before that: Project Bluebird (which some records indicate goes back to 1949) and Project Artichoke in 1952. All designed to test the limits and potentials for mind control through drugs, hypnosis, and behavior modification of the forcible kind. Following that twisted route it is clear how Alice must have felt tumbling down the rabbit hole.
Stumbling across a Project Blue Book file that lists a task of forwarding some reports to the people in the "psychological warfare" offices. Of finding a mysterious extra objective tied to such studies.
Learning that Jacques Vallee in one of his later works recounts a man who claimed knowledge of the CIA conducting abductions in Latin America disguised as "Alien Beings" as part of that same broad scale program.
Given the early, early dates of these activities, the 1951 development of a Psychological Strategy Board for warfare applications, and the events of the entire UFO picture, it raises questions. Some of those "contactee" individuals were they two edged swords to advance the knowledge sought and debunk the issue of possible extraterrestrial or all too top-secret terrestrial craft development? Some of those abductees were they part of that broader picture as well?
In the early seventies, as lawmakers, and others, began to sniff that something might have run amuck in the government, the head of the CIA at the time ordered all records related to those projects destroyed. Investigators had to build their case using witness testimony and then later 20,000 pages of material related to the topic were uncovered in a FOIA request. What else might have been destroyed?
