For the less clicky-inclined, here is the bulk of the info (initial post).
If you like/agree with my research / conjecture, I invite you to please go and S&F that thread (above), as a lot of effort went into it.
____________
The timing of all of these
can't all JUST be 'coincidence', can it(?):
The Battle of Los Angeles - February
1942 - the first
mass
UFO sighting in America, on record
[it even aired on
CBS Radio and Television]
Operation Paperclip - May
1945 thru March
1946 - the
recruitment and absorption of almost 2,000 Nazi scientists and technicians, but more importantly the denial of their expertise and research to other
'non allied forces'.
Roswell UFO Incident - July
1947 - arguably THE most famous
UFO/alien case in the world, or at the very least, our nation's history - strange timing considering all the work/resources that
just became
available to the U.S., no?
But, here's where it gets real interesting...
National Security Act established in
July 1947 - supposedly
(and certainly, partially) in response to the aftermath of World War II.
Inception of both the
US Air Force and
Central Intelligence Agency -
September 1947
Majestic 12 -
September 1947 -
purported code name of a secret
committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed by an executive order of U.S. President Harry S Truman, whose purpose was
to investigate UFO activity.
Project Sign late 1947 --which became-->
Project Grudge in
1949 --which became-->
Project Bluebook in
1952 - which had 2 goals:
1. to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and
2. to scientifically analyze UFO-related data.
Then, as if a direct slap in the face to ALL of these efforts was the (also) highly publicized and mass-witnessed,
Washington DC UFO Incident in July
1952
[
unedited video footage]
SO....
Either, the Powers that Be (governmental, military, secretive) quietly - and suddenly - acknowledged that 'strange things are afoot at the Circle K'
or were directly responsible for said 'strange things' - take your pick - it's one or the other.
Thoughts? Other agencies, events, timeframes that should be included here?
