This either:
1. Proves that the Eisenhower briefing was a legitimate document about real events.
2. It was hoaxed by the CIA and it was out in here to further confuse UFO researchers.
3. Some UFO nut, who happened to be a clerk scanning documents, added it in here for fun.
Seems like every one should be asking questions about this document showing up on the DoD site, but few notice. Strange. This is very compelling.
"The Aviary" is a collection of strange birds:
a group of key scientists, military men and intelligence agents who share an intense interest in UFOs, telepathy, remote viewing, parapsychology, mind control and the creation of psychotronic weapons.

JD: How would you characterize the relationship between your Eschaton and the Intelligence community? Are there parallel beliefs, motives or modus operandi?
DS: Along with the rest of the UFO community, I believe that we have been visited. I believe that this visitation was in preparation for a messianic event which is imminent. That event will inaugurate our Millennium of preparation leading up to the Eschaton. The Aviary is the part of the intelligence community most closely and publicly associated with the ‘MJ12/Visitor’ complex. The messianic event itself, however, must be as spontaneous and independent of ‘MJ12’ and the Visitors as is possible. Thus the intelligence community will have very little direct input in this matter. National and global security will be largely redefined under the Millennial Aeon.
JD: OK, can we clarify this a little? What do the Visitors and UFOs have to do with the “messianic event”? What is the relationship between the Visitor phenomenon and the Second Coming of the Messiah?
DS: I am suggesting that the Visitors could be playing several roles that would be relevant to a messianic event. They would be an off-world advance team helping in the preparation. This would involve alerting the powers-that-be to the inevitable advent of the Messiah, Millennium and Eschaton. They would convince those powers that it would not be in their interest to interfere in the cosmic plan. The Visitors might then negotiate with these powers in selecting a mutually acceptable individual for the role of Messiah. The Visitors might also be overseeing the ‘abduction’ phenomenon in as much as it could be part of the preparation for the Millennium.
JD: Am I missing something here? Isn’t there already a Messiah assigned to this role?
DS: This is a heterodox scenario. This is divine minimalism. Christians will be mightily disappointed, those who were expecting a figure in white robes to descend from the clouds. The idea is that we do not need theatrics this time around. There is a package deal. Whoever can convince the world of its immateriality and of the rationale for the Millennium and Eschaton, that person will be the Second Coming. Anyone who aspires to being this paradigm shifter should expect to play that role. I feel no need to apologize for personally wanting to put an end to the hegemony of materialism.
JD: You suggest that this messianic event must be separate from the Visitor phenomenon, meaning perceptually independent?
DS: Let’s back up a bit. I am saying that we humans constitute a very significant aspect of the cosmic mind. The First and Second Coming, in particular, are designed to awaken humanity to their central role in the cosmic plan. We don’t need to be told this, only reminded, so easily do we forget. Our memory only needs to be jogged a very little bit. Minimalism is the word when it comes to divine intervention, in keeping with the ‘prime directive.’ The perception of coercion is the very worst thing that could happen. If it appears that the cosmic plan is being imposed upon us, we would naturally react negatively. In reality this plan is of us, by us and for us. The messianic event is critical. It may appear that I have just contradicted myself. From the previous response one might imagine a smoke filled room underground in Area 51 where the Visitors and MJ12 haggle over the identity of the Messiah to be ‘imposed’ on humanity. This hardly seems spontaneous. However, if these negotiations can be kept secret, then the intervention remains minimal. There can only ever be informed speculation as to what might have actually transpired. The ‘designated’ individual would have to convince her fellow humans as to the reasonableness of the hypothetical selection process.
"There are reasons to believe that some government group has interwoven research about this (mind control) technology with alleged UFO phenomena. If that is correct, you can expect to run into early resistance when inquiring about UFOs, not because of the UFO subject, but because that has been used to cloak research and applications of mind-control activity.”
When asked if he continues to think the UFO subject cloaks mind control research and applications, Jones replied, "I think that the UFO/ET subject has been used to cloak a number of classified U.S. programs that certainly includes mind control. It probably has been used more often to confuse and disguise aerospace weapon systems than other subjects. It has been particularly effective when there is a presumed close relationship between what is trying to be protected and assumptions about characteristics associated with UFOs and ETs.

Ok, I've dug up all I can find on Sen. Pell, and I don't see any link between him and the EBD. Maybe I'm missing something, if so, could you fill me in? I know about Pell's fringe interests and I do believe that Pell was aware of Drosnin back in '91 but it seems to me a tenuous link between the EBD and Pell.
It all points to a number of possibilities from being a clerical mistake when being copied/scanned to something more?
The experiments also seem a little pointless to me, surely they could have just done observational analyses on the psychological, physiological effects of the people working in the embassy.
At this point, "clerical error" has to sit near bottom of my list. Unless it was a divine hand that moved the clerk's hand to further point researchers in the direction where UFOs meets ABC's meets Psychological Warfare.
Possible physical evidence of encounters with alien spacecraft. The 1968 University of Colorado report, compiled by a team headed by James Condon, documented numerous instances of areas where soil, grass, and other vegetation had been claimed by witnesses to have been flattened, burned, broken off, or blown away by a UFO. A report by Stanford University astrophysicist Peter Sturrock, who led a scientific study of physical evidence of UFOs in the late 1990s, describes samples of plants taken from a purported UFO landing site in France in 1981. French researchers found that the leaves had undergone unusual chemical changes of the sort that could have been caused by powerful microwave radiation—which was even more difficult to explain, considering that they found no trace of radioactivity at the site.
José Manuel Rodriguez Delgado (August 8, 1915 – September 15, 2011) was a Spanish professor of physiology at Yale University, famed for his research into mind control through electrical stimulation of regions in the brain.
Much of Delgado's work was with an invention he called a stimoceiver, a radio which joined a stimulator of brain waves with a receiver which monitored E.E.G. waves and sent them back on separate radio channels. Some of these stimoceivers were as small as half-dollars. This allowed the subject of the experiment full freedom of movement while allowing the experimenter to control the experiment. This was a great improvement from his early equipment which included implanted electrodes whose wires ran from the brain to bulky equipment that both recorded data and delivered the desired electrical charges to the brain. This early equipment, while not allowing for a free range of movement, was also the cause of infection in many subjects.[3]
The stimoceiver could be used to stimulate emotions and control behavior. According to Delgado, "Radio Stimulation of different points in the amygdala and hippocampus in the four patients produced a variety of effects, including pleasant sensations, elation, deep, thoughtful concentration, odd feelings, super relaxation, colored visions, and other responses." Delgado stated that "brain transmitters can remain in a person's head for life. The energy to activate the brain transmitter is transmitted by way of radio frequencies."[4]
Delgado created many inventions and was called a “technological wizard” by one of his Yale colleagues. Other than the stimoceiver, Delgado also created a "chemitrode" which was an implantable device that released controlled amounts of a drug into specific brain areas. Delgado also invented an early version of what is now a cardiac pacemaker
“This new knowledge is so important that I think it should radically change the philosophy of our educational system, which believes in the sanctity of individuals, thinking that an individual exists at birth. This belief is not true. And this science is going to prove the fallacy of democracy in the sense that we talk about the rights of the individual; this democratic belief is not true. Because we are forming this individual, because we are constructing his brain, we are willy nilly making the differences we either desire or dislike.”
Possibly the best known case of microwave harassment in the UK was the plight of the Greenham Common peace protesters. Female activists, concerned by the deployment of US nuclear weapons on British soil, staged a non-violent protest around the perimeter fences of the Greenham USAF base beginning in 1981. During 1984, the first Cruise tactical nuclear missiles arrived at the base and the situation heated up in more ways than one. Protesters complained of severe headaches, temporary paralysis, nausea, palpitations and other classic symptoms of microwave poisoning. Tests revealed microwave radiation up to one hundred times greater than background readings taken around the base
"The American military at Greenham Common has an intruder detection system called BISS (Base Installation Security System) which operates on a sufficiently high frequency to bounce radar waves off a human body moving in the vicinity of this microwave perimeter fence."
In a Hearing before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, U.S. House of Representatives, on Military Construction Appropriations for 1985, General Schneidel made an indiscreet reference to the possibility of the use of microwave technology at Greenham Common.
"The concept of our operations is to protect the highest value resources on the base...We have a set concept that provides for security while in garrison and certainly in wartime, when it deploys off the installation and into the operational mode.... Whatever the case may be, where the system is not full up with all the required sensors, fences and lights, people will be assigned to compensate for those shortfalls in the equipment."
Next, in 2002, I was invited to speak at a national conference on neuroethics, organized by Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, a meeting that spawned intense academic interest in the ethics of neuroscience. In the weeks and months after the conference, I began to take note of the frequent but casual references to national security agency funding in reports about amazing new neuroscience findings. I also noticed that many of the most prestigious neuroscientists I knew were being supported by some of these agencies' contracts. Yet when I raised questions about the specific nature of the national security interest in this work or the bigger picture behind it, the conversations tended not to go very far. Many of the scientists didn't know much about the larger context, didn't seem to have given it much thought, or figured it was an opportunity to fund their
research that wouldn't lead to anything questionable.

Let's face it, if anyone had the ability to control a person's thought processes and dictate their actions, it'd be a technology that could control the world. To extend that possibility to a rational context, the unavoidable fact that world leaders are constantly in dispute implies that such technology doesn't exist or isn't reliable enough to be practical.
"The term mind-control is a slippery concept. That it belongs--as such an abstract concept--to a wider-range of sub-topics also makes it an easy target for "double-speak" and professionally adept disinformation from its operatives. It sounds "crazy" to many folk--as intended--but not so fast! Lets break the term down a little.
For example, "Mind-Control" can refer to a few different, but certainly related, modalities.
For instance, when we're talking about ELF and non-lethal weaponry, it can be as simple as bombarding someone with waves that produce heat, pain, and/or mental states of confusion and submissiveness.The "mind-control" tag in those instances referring to a simple sort which I'll call: Forced Physical Dissuasion.
Then there's the sort that was pursued in the search for the so-called Manchurian Candidate. These modalities look for more intrusive methods and the total-control of the human psyche. These include the induction of dissociative states, hypnotism, pharmacology, ELF (electromagnetic control of mental and emotional states,) brain-implants, and social programming including the blackest of psyops operations: Forced Psychical Persuasion. (Please note the difference between "Physical" in the first instance and "Psychical" in the second.)
It's not "conspiracy theory" that MK-ULTRA attempted to do those very things. The documentation also makes clear the inclusion of topics that fall under the heading of PSI and Phenomenology. Government mouthpieces and the easily-fooled are quick to say that the MK-ULTRA franchise was discontinued, but we see above that Dr. Sidney Gottlieb procured early funding for Remote Viewing which encompasses many of those same goals and techniques."
"I think there is a very interesting dance happening between ufology and the intelligence organizations that have more to do with what the goals of the intelligence agencies are than a cover up of extraterrestrial visitation."

Nevertheless, the subject has turned my head enough to check out the state of the technology and the associations it has in the conspiracy world. It's easy enough to start reading popular and obscure web pages that focus on the certainties of grand conspiracies and yet who can tell where the fantasy ends and the reality begins? So it's better to start with the academics and get a feel for the reality before skinny-dipping in the deep waters of Conspiracy Lake.
Professor Jonathan Moreno wrote a book called Mind Wars: Brain Research and National Defense. It was well received and details the ethics of screwing around with minds.
He makes the point that there was a lot of research money available for neuroscientists pursuing these technologies...

He tried to interview colleagues and was met with an unsurprising wall of silence. That isn't necessarily sinister as why would anyone involved in classified research run their mouth off? He was passed on to a CIA agent who also declined to discuss what they were doing. It's possible Moreno's specialisation in ethics sort of out-manoeuvred him from the opportunities. It's also ironic as his father was involved in the early 60s experiments with LysergicSD and possibly short steps away from the MKULTRA project.

@ Rosinitiate - counter-intelligence and counter-subversive programs might have access to a lower level of MC that has the side-effects noted in the Guardian article you referenced.
@ GUT - Stanford huh?

In terms of the names of folk so far mentioned in this thread? How many are known for being straight arrows? How many are known to literally contradict themselves on the record? How much is known about MKULTRA that unclear events can be explained with unclear secret projects? Do you get where I'm coming from here?
All of us and all of them have been caught being mistaken or misled at some point or another.

Perhaps the document is where it is, sticking out like the thing that doesn't belong amongst the other like things, to call attention to it.

...We can see that CB Jones was a heavy-hitter and might presume that whatever he said was said for a reason. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he believed Drosnin was targeted by some secret mind-control technology or that his work with the Exopolitics crowd is that of a believer. Those in Intel work in mysterious ways…
This is the crux of the problem of believability, credence, isn't it, where both MC and UFO sightings and accounts merge. And I think it's been used purposefully in just that way. That's kind of the importance behind MC linked to UFO activity. It negates it, largely, or makes everything suspect from the get-go, because once you accept that people can be "handled" to the nth degree, then it goes hand in hand with understanding when being handled, it may include thinking you see things or experience things that aren't exactly real.
The nexus of MC, UFO sighting reports and the apparently murky doings of elements within Intel is an area that's essentially beyond comprehension. At the least, it's the No-Man's Land of rational discussion as it amounts to angels dancing on a pin...or whether unicorns wear boots on Venus.
To talk about consciousness and our own cognitive sovereignty in this context, we have to declare that we are speculating and that it isn't a personal belief, but an idle train of thought that led to an abandoned station. UFO sighting reports sometimes contain elements of timely head-turning, coincidental incidents and synchronicity.
As you mention the role of psy-ops and plausible deniability, I wonder if that would be a rational strategy in the face of a hypothetical and undeclared 'foe' whose own abilities exceed your own?
UFOs attract a spectrum of beliefs and even Intel maestros are human. Is it possible that some folk within the military and Intel have been interested in the access-to-consciousness that is implied by some sighting reports?
