The ECHO part is his crew (they have alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo). And they usually have a play on words. The flags represent the countries that work on his crew (Space Command is multi-national, which im sure many did not know). The Alien and UFO is a joke and has no significant meaning as most of the patches dont (so they say but who knows, eh?) The satelites are there - because that is their job. As far as the motto on the bottom. He wouldnt say. Has something to do with the literal work they do and its classified and cant talk about it.


are you serious if its all just fun and moral why wouldnt the guy explain the whole meaning of the patch ?....thanks for just proving what i am trying to confirm from the patches ..

you say .. generally covert ops and black budget project members DO NOT advertise their affiliation.

do we know this for sure ? hints the encription in the patches ..

i do agree with you i do ..but i surly cant debunk weather or not the patches are fake or not ..however if you just take the time to watch the video you will have a little more insite on how this patch system works ..

who knows like i said maybe they are worn in the private sector as a means of comunication or id so if and when they run into another members they wont break any rules by talking and asking questions ...like an example on some of the patches you will see 5 stars seprated by one this i am guessing means this person works at area 51 ?

but i rly cant say for sure ...i just think there might be a story to be told within them


ty for the reply and pardon my spelling errors

i don't sweat the spelling.


sure there is a story to be told. i'm sure that is true for most any insignia.

military is so compartmentalized, especially covert ops, that communication would probably be limited to recognizing members of the same project. even then it is doubtful. separate units may be working on the same project and never know that there is another team. or each unit's responsibility only covers a portion of the project's scope. either one hand washes the other, or one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. all is contingent on the "need to know".

i doubt the patches are "fake". some are probably a bit more official than others. (black ops insignia vs. small unit designs) even the one that really does look like it came from a head shop, the mushroom, i could see as being representative of a psy-ops unit.

i did watch it. the entire presentation. it is interesting. "tastes like chicken" probably my favorite.

Paglen points out in one anecdote, "i could tell you but then i'd have to kill you", might suggest that the patches are used more to stir up mystique rather than prevent it, maybe even to surround the project with a certain atmosphere (for whatever reason), or just blowing smoke in order to misdirect from the fire.

at what point in a project's development does the patch design come into play? when everything is still on the drawing board? during testing? the training and recruitment phase? completion of primary objective? does this happen while the project is still super secret or after the damage is done?

top secret is one thing, but black ops aren't even supposed to exist. technically.
