 DATE: June 30, 2009

 For several years now, I've been receiving hints that one or more congressional committees have been on the verge of holding public hearings on the extent to which certain federal agencies (including the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency) have been withholding from public view their findings and conclusions about UFO-E.T. reality.

 At the same time, a cadre of UFO-E.T.-coverup whistleblowers has been growing steadily from throughout the nation, asserting their willingness to deliver their accounts, under oath, to all pertinent congressional committees.

 One of these concerned citizens, John J. Callahan, happens to be a retired official from the U. S. Federal Aviation Administration. As discussed in my May 29, 2009, letter to the CIA inspector general (copy enclosed as Item 2.31), Mr. Callahan became, during a 1987 key UFO-sighting-related meeting at FAA headquarters, the brunt of misconduct on the part of the CIA attenders at that meeting. To date, my May 29th request that the CIA inspector general mount an investigation into this matter has gone unanswered; I therefore presume that the inspector general intends to ignore my request. That inaction runs counter to the I.G. mission, insults the intelligence of the American public, and weakens Congress's oversight authority; but it also offers the pertinent congressional committee(s) an ideal starting point for investigating (and reporting upon) the Executive Branch's role in thwarting the public's stakeholdership in achieving greater UFO-E.T. awareness.

 Accordingly, I hereby ask that you intervene on my behalf as follows:

 (1) Contact the CIA director to determine the rationale behind the inspector general's nonfeasance; and

 (2) Forward this correspondence to the pertinent committee staff now contemplating holding hearings on official UFO-E.T. secrecy.

 As you ponder whatever other support you could/should render to the public's right-to-know in this public-policy matter, you might wish to take the bold step of assigning one of your staffers to liaise with the pertinent committee during its deliberations - with the prospect that other whistleblowers soon may emerge with even more-compelling evidence.

 By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter. You have my express permission to share this letter's content with anyone you choose.

 Thank you for attending to this opportunity to help expand worldwide UFOIA (UFO Freedom of Information and Accountability).

The envelope contained one sheet of paper, sent to me via U. S. Express Mail, costing us, the taxpayers, $13.05. It arrived at my home on June 24, 2009, but I was unavailable to sign for its receipt; so, on June 25th, I claimed it at my local post office.

 The letter, dated June 23rd, comes from CIA headquarters in Fairfax County, Va., bearing the signature of freedom-of-information coordinator Delores M. Nelson. Of course, I'm forwarding a photocopy of it to my attorney (as well as posting its text, below).

 I suppose counselor Katz will recommend that we negotiate with the Justice Department on the terms for a court-approved "consent judgment" to settle the case. And I would insist that this settlement require the Central Intelligence Agency to promptly reimburse all my litigation expenses. An ironclad consent judgment would prevent any CIA official from denying me my FOIA requester status as a representative of the news media (RNM) in the future. It also would strengthen FOIA case law protecting the interests of all current and future requesters in the RNM category.

 == TEXT OF MS. NELSON'S JUNE 23, 2009, LETTER TO L.W.B. ==

 Reference: F-2008-01781

 Dear Mr. Bryant:

 This is in reference to your 23 August 2008 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, received in the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator on 18 [sic] August 2008, for the following CIA-received and CIA-generated records:

 (1) As pertain to the convening, attendance roster, briefings, minutes, and all other related documentation of the 1987 special meeting at FAA headquarters in Washington, D. C.; and

 (2) As pertain to all similar cases of airborne UFO encounters reportedly occurring since Nov. 17, 1986, to date.

 Please note that upon further review, the Agency is reopening the processing of your request; a search will be conducted for records in existence through 15 June 2009. You also requested news media status. Since your request pertains to UFOs and you are a columnist with the newsstand periodical, UFO Magazine, we are placing you in "news media" fee category for this request. Accordingly, you will be responsible only for the cost of reproducing any records released in response to your request. Copying costs are ten cents per page less the first 100 pages.

 Sincerely,

 Delores M. Nelson
Information and Privacy Coordinator

Indefatigable California resident John Greenewald, Jr., who began his FOIA warriorship at age 15, now has (re)joined the ranks of aggrieved requesters who've been denied their rightful status as "representatives of the news media" - a category expressly defined by the U. S. Freedom of Information Act as deserving of favored treatment in the form of waived records-search/review fees.

 This time around, it's the U. S. National Security Agency that wishes to impose Draconian processing fees upon Greenewald, presumably to discourage his inquisitiveness. But, as you can see from his appeal letter, quoted below, he ain't gonna take it any more.

 At this point, all who believe in greater UFO Freedom of Information and Accountability (and who deplore its opposite force - UFOBIA (UFOlogical Fear of Basic Information and Accountability)) might wish to write their congresscritters in support of Greenewald's appeal.

 NOTE: John will be the master of ceremonies at the annual symposium of the Mutual UFO Network, Inc., Aug. 7-9, 2009.

==TEXT OF GREENEWALD'S LETTER OF JUNE 10, 2009, TO NSA HEADQUARTERS ==

 Wednesday, June 10, 2009

 John Greenewald, Jr.

 National Security Agency
980 Savage Road - Suite 6248
Fort George G. Meade, Maryland 20755-6248
Fax: (443) 479-3612

 To whom it may concern,

 This is an open-letter appeal, made under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, in response to multiple FOIA requests in your office. In most of the letters, you have stated that you disagree with my "representative of the news media" category, and put me in an "all other" status.
Consequently, many of the requests are estimated at hundreds of dollars in search fees, when I am not guaranteed a single piece of paper.

 First and foremost, I consider this a grave injustice made in light of the true intent of the FOIA. From President Clinton's signing the Electronic FOIA and multiple executive directives regarding declassification; President Bush's signing the U.S. OPEN Government Act of 2007; and President Obama's, on the day he entered office, signing legislation improving agency disclosure, openness,
and transparency in regard to document declassification - the FOIA has been an important tool in American democracy and public awareness.

 But the NSA, in my opinion, will not recognize the true meaning of a "representative of the news media," and will not acknowledge my established ability to disseminate this information to the public - thus going against the definitions outlined in the law, and erroneously categorizing my requests.

 So, therefore, I hereby appeal the determination of the NSA regarding my fee status category as "all other" and submit the below evidence to my established category of "representative of the news media."

 1) Multiple agencies have considered my request to become a "representative of the news media," and have granted that request. Only a select few are referenced below for your perusal:

 a. In a letter dated 10 April 2009, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in case F09-0036, states, "Based upon the information provided, you have been placed in the 'educational/scientific/media' category of requesters. . .."

 b. In a letter dated 14 May 2009, from the Department of the Air Force, Malmstrom Air Force Base, in FOIA case number 2009-00743F, it states, "You have been placed in the 'Media' category."

 c. In a letter dated March 16, 2009, in FOIA case number 09-006, it states, "Additionally, the U.S. Army Center of Military History's Initial Denial Authority for FOIA requests has declared you to be a member of the media. . .."

 2) Further, you state that the FOIA stipulates I must show how I will turn raw materials into a distinct work, and distribute that to an audience. I outline the following:

 a. NEWS/EDITORIAL EXAMPLES - TELEVISION:

 i. The History Channel - The Universe; in this episode of The Universe on History Channel, entitled, "Alien Faces," which I directed and wrote, I utilized multiple documents obtained from the FOIA from NASA on the topic of Astrobiology. The material was used in the research/development phase of the
program, and the information was interpreted and disseminated to the public throughout the show.

 ii. The History Channel - UFO Hunters, Season 3 - Multiple Episodes; from December 2008 - June 2009, I served as a producer of the popular UFO Hunters program. Throughout multiple episodes, the research/FOIA documents I have collected over the last decade were used in the research/development phase, shown on screen, and opinions were offered on select documents. As an example, in one episode dealing with a secret underground installation, underground digging technology was discussed at length. To source this information in the show, multiple documents were obtained under the FOIA as reference, including "Use of the Subterrene for Military Drilling
Applications," located at:
http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/subt.pdf .

 iii. The History Channel - UFO Files: Hangar 18; multiple documents obtained from the FOIA were used in this special, which dealt with the top secret work on military technology by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base throughout the past 5-6 decades. Documents were obtained from the Air Force
and Army that were used in this special, for which I was credited as the producer.

 iv. The History Channel - UFO Files: UFOs and the White House; multiple documents obtained from the FOIA were used in this special, which I also produced for The History Channel, which were used as source material, used in the research/development phase, and were interpreted for the public in
the show's writing phase.

 v. With the details above, I feel this clearly shows interpretation and dissemination to the public of the information obtained under the FOIA.

 b. NEWS/EDITORIAL EXAMPLES - NEWSPRINT:

 i. "Inadvertent Nuclear War - The India/Pakistan Armageddon," which was published on the popular online news site OpEdNews, located at
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Inadvertent-Nuclear-War--by-John-Greenewald-... .

 ii. "Dr. J. Allen Hynek: The UFO Scientist's 'Other life,'" which was
published on the popular online news site OpEdNews, and is archived at
http://www.theblackvault.com/wiki/index.php/Dr._J._Allen_Hynek:_The_UFO_Scien...'s_%22Other_life%22_(by_John_Greenewald,_Jr.,_3-13-2008) .

 iii. Fate Magazine - Multiple articles in print throughout the past 13 years; one example as a cover story entitled "Mysteries of The Black Vault" can
be seen at

 iv. With the articles sourced above, I feel this clearly shows interpretation and dissemination to the public the information obtained under the FOIA.

 c. EDITORIAL EXAMPLES - PUBLISHED PRINT:

 i. Beyond UFO Secrecy, by John Greenewald, Jr. - Publisher: Galde Press; 2nd edition (January 1, 2008) - ISBN-13: 978-1931942607. This book, in its second, expanded edition, details years' worth of work and FOIA documents collected. Documents are interpreted for the reader and explained in editorial form; then some are displayed for the reader's interpretation. The book can be seen/ordered on Amazon.com at
http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-UFO-Secrecy-John-Greenewald/dp/1931942609 .

 ii. With the details above, I feel this clearly shows interpretation and dissemination to the public the information obtained under the FOIA.

 d. EDITORIAL EXAMPLES - RADIO:

 i. I currently own and operate The Black Vault Radio Network, which syndicates nearly 40 shows from around the globe. The top show on the network, The Black Vault Radio, hosted by myself, interviews experts, authors, Hollywood celebrities, etc., dealing with the topics researched by my FOIAs.

 In many of the episodes, I offer my interpretation of documents received under the FOIA, inform the public of the documents' availability, then tell the public where they can download the information, for free.

 ii. These shows are then archived online, and have been since the shows first aired. All are available 24/7.

 iii. Throughout the past 13 years, I have done HUNDREDS of radio interviews on many networks other than my own show, in which I am asked about my FOIA research. In these interviews, ranging from 5 minutes in length, to more than four hours in length, I am asked my interpretation of the information. I am asked to dissect the meaning of many of the documents, and offer my opinion of what they mean. Lastly, I clearly define where the documents can be obtained.

 iv. With the details above, I feel this clearly shows interpretation and dissemination to the public the information obtained under the FOIA.

 3) Lastly, you state to fit into this fee status category that the information must be of "potential interest to a segment of the public . . .." In response, I offer the following:

 a. The Black Vault website, which houses 500,000 pages of declassified documents, serves thousands of people a day on average who download, peruse, and read the documents. Further, they can browse the online archive of news articles which I have written, and read the editorial pieces outlining many of the FOIA documents. Although you clearly state that my simply posting the documents does not make me worthy of a "representative of the news media" status, I believe
that the multiple articles, page descriptions, document summaries, etc., do offer an editorialized piece that paves the way for public perusal of the archive.

 b. Alexa Internet rates The Black Vault within the top 280,000 sites in the world. (Online traffic fluctuates, and this number has been as high as the top 60,000 depending on the traffic cycle.)
Given that the online research agency Netcraft calculates that there are more than 182 million (182,000,000) websites currently on the internet, this figure clearly states the information within The Black Vault is clearly in the public interest, and remains one of the internet's top destinations for FOIA
documents. For all of the reasons above, I feel I have fully and completely outlined my appeal to your determination. My unique set of circumstances, I feel, fits into the category "representative of the news media"; and I additionally feel the NSA should overturn their decision and promptly update the status of my requests to avoid further delays and unworthy charges of in some cases,
astronomical proportions.

 I am disseminating this letter to few different locations, including the internet, as I feel this information should be circulated outlining the situation with FOIA requesters at the NSA. I believe I am not the only one who has fallen victim to this misidentification of fee status, and hope in the future, this will not be a problem for so many legitimate requesters, journalists, and authors.

   Sincerely,

   John Greenewald, Jr.

   By Larry W. Bryant

     UFO secrecy,
    official or private,
    cheats society;
    but preserving UFOlit
    benefits all of us

   Perhaps you've heard a horror story like one of the following:

   Some years ago, a UFOlogist in Nebraska fell under the influence of a religious group convinced that his UFO research conflicted with their tenets. He thus opted to destroy his entire collection of UFO literature - in hopes of self-reforming his errant ways of viewing the universe. Later, he recanted that precipitous move; but the damage turned out to be irreparable.

   Next, the UFO files of another UFOlogist, then a Californian, suffered a similar fate - but not at his own hands. Instead, the culprit was his estranged wife, who, in a fit of unholy acrimony, decided to let a storage company dispose of his collection for failure to keep the storage fee paid up. (Now, please spare me any other such cases; they're just too painful to my aging eyes and ears!)

   Yes, just as my own 50-year-old collection of UFOana continues to ripen with age here in my 800-square-foot condo unit (which I call the world's largest filing cabinet), so do I, its dutiful custodian, attract the years like a magnet. Long ago, I gave up trying to read all this stuff - which ranges from books (domestic and foreign) to journals, magazines, newsletters, pamphlets, audio/video tapes, litigation papers, historical/bibliographic studies, monographs, novels, newsclippings, cartoons/comic strips/comic books, and reams of UFO-research correspondence. Nowadays, I look upon these treasured items as my unwittingly dependent children - whereby I remain somewhat burdened by their presence but nevertheless steadfast in my determination to subject them to no more abuse than some occasional benign neglect.

   In a paean to the fate of my collection, published on June 5, 1982, under the title "Propose Set up UFO Reference Center" (in the now-defunct NYC newspaper News World), I discussed, in solemn tone, the choices one might face in arriving at a decent disposition for one's UFOlogical assets:

   "If UFOlit - as [UFO bookseller] Bob Girard calls the genre - merits any preservation and perpetuation whatsoever, then how can the average collector escape the civic duty implicit in that realization? After . . . decades of growth in the UFO-oriented publishing industry, isn't it time that the resultant cumulative testimonial to the greatest untold story of all time be placed in the hands of library science and library security?"

   Luckily, since my posing that question, more and more researchers have joined the chorus of commitment. For example: George Fawcett of North Carolina donated a truckload of his UFOana to the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, N. M. More recently, former Virginia resident John Anderson donated more than a box load of duplicate, vintage UFO books to the Fund for UFO Research, Inc., so that the proceeds from selling them can be applied to acceptable research projects. Steve Zalewski of Syracuse, N. Y., took it upon himself to build a UFOlit collection at the library of Onondaga Community College. In doing so, he insisted on including only the more serious, scholarly material - no frivolous or spurious items need apply.

   In Columbus, Ohio, at the library of Ohio State University, you'll find what may well be the premier publicly accessible UFO archive. Alas, the severity of its security makes it unavailable via the Interlibrary Loan Service. As the brainchild of MUFON state director for Ohio William Jones, the OSU archive remains a work-in-progress for him and his colleagues. In an e-message to me of Sept. 14, 1999, Jones wrote: "We need a lot of older material to fill in blanks in the collection. Can anyone help?" That "anyone" certainly could be one Jan Aldrich, director of http://www.project1947.com/shg/ . His web site's "Sign Historical Group" subpage contains an inventory of the OSU collection, to which Aldrich has donated some blank-filling material of his own.

   Aldrich, in New England, remains among the top-tier collectors of UFOana, whose other members include Barry Greenwood of Stoneham, Mass.; Richard W. Heiden of Milwaukee; Lucius Farish of Plumerville, Ark. (retired publisher of the monthly UFO Newsclipping Service); and me, here in Alexandria, Va. (overtci@cavtel.net). But I'm aware of some other collectors' grappling their way up the ladder of UFOlit enrichment, some of whom are - guess what! - WOMEN. In fact, one of them, Dr. Brenda Denzler of North Carolina (author of The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passion, Religious Beliefs, and the Pursuit of UFOs), recently tried to help me find an academic home for my material (once I've decided to part with it). Try as she might, though, she failed to convince the library at Duke University to become interested in my offer.

   Later, I, too, struck out when I queried the accessions librarians at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. I was seeking an institution close enough to me and/or to my daughter's home so that my estate could more readily monitor terms of the collection's placement and management. That was Plan A.

   Plan B calls for me to entrust to my daughter the public sale of the collection - possibly via an Internet auction service. That way, everyone gains: serious collectors/preservers of some near-priceless UFOlit; and my daughter in her quest for supplementing a meager retirement income. I shall let her decide whether there'll be a Plan C - i.e., auctioning off part of the stuff and donating the other part to help fill in some more blanks in the OSU archive.

   In the meantime, I plan to continue avoiding contact with religious fanatics and vindictive ex-wives.

Elsewhere on this blog (see Item 2.7), I've declared my support for civic activist Jeff Peckman's campaign, begun months ago in a rickety process of jumping through hoops of municipal red tape, to have a ballot initiative for an ordinance declaring Denver as host to an official Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.

 Now, after all that planning and coordination, a cadre of signature gatherers has embarked upon this historic journey to prove that SOME citizens of Earth can unite, publicly, to advance their cosmic interests and concerns - on behalf of us all.

 I'm posting this note to announce the below-quoted classified ad's appearance upon the ads-service web site of inetgiant.com (see http://tinyurl.com/nbyp9t ). It's part of my current ad campaign to help broaden public participation in UFORIA (UFO Freedom of Information and Accountability):

 == HELP SUPPORT Denver's Drive to Create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission! ==

 This summer, registered voters in Denver, Colo., have a unique opportunity to put their city on the galactic map - by adding their names to the now-circulating signature petition for a November 2009 ballot initiative to pass an ordinance creating a Denver-based Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission. The proposed commission would be funded only by "grants, gifts, and donations" and not the city budget. It would serve as a public-policy center and clearinghouse for dealing with the UFO-E.T. presence and its societal implications for all citizens of Earth. If you'd like to volunteer your services and/or resources in support of this ballot initiative, you can find pertinent details of the proposed ordinance and points of contact on the web site created by the project's chief proponent, Denverite Jeff Peckman - http://www.extracampaign.org . As a supporter in Virginia, I've posted an online petition by which all Earthlings may add their signatures/comments to encourage Denverites to vote for this history-making paradigmal shift in UFO-E.T. awareness; see it at http://www.petitiononline.com/etaffair/petition.html . NOTE: The online "signatures" aren't valid for the approved ballot-initiative petition but do offer a measure of moral support. For locations where to sign the official hard copy of the petition and also learn about the "Welcome to Earth" project of the campaign to support charitable causes, visit http://www.extracampaign.org/Petition_Signing.html . The world has waited long enough for the people - not their rulers - to take the lead in letting the case for UFO-E.T. reality speak for itself - at the ballot box! I remain honored to take part in this campaign, and urge you to join it all the way into November's general election. - Larry W. Bryant, director of the Washington, D.

When I sent my Feb. 13, 2009, FOIA request to the headquarters of the U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Washington, D. C. (see Item 2.18), I also CC'ed an electronic copy to their Kennedy Space Center (foia@ksc.nasa.gov). The request centers on what does NASA know - and when did it know it? - about the Sept. 15, 1968, UFO-E.T. encounter near the Kennedy Space Center, as recounted in JE Oglesby's 2008 memoir "Proof of Extraterrestrial Intelligence: The Cape Canaveral Apollo Program Chronicles."

 By her April 15, 2009, response to my request (No. FOIA-09-HQ-F-0081), freedom-of-information officer Kellie N. Robinson displays the good ol' college try in processing my case:

 "The NASA Headquarters History Office and the NASA Headquarters Library conducted a search and from their searches provided the enclosed document responsive to your request.

 "The NASA Headquarters FOIA Requester Service Center also conducted a search and from that search provided a copy of the Concepts for Detection of Extraterrestrial Life (Report number NASA SP-56 [dated 1964]) and additional information regarding UFO's that may be of interest to you.

 "Additional documents responsive to your request, if available, would be maintained at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC), in Kennedy Space Center, Florida. We are forwarding your request to the KSC FOIA Requester Service Center for direct reply to you."

 Although none of us in the UFO-research community would've been holding our breath over the expected outcome of the NASA records search, we do find from Robinson's few hundred pages of material several valuable tidbits of useful history - not the least of which is a photocopy of former NASA employee Richard C. Henry's essay "UFOs and NASA" (published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration - Vol. 2, No. 2; 1988). The paper's abstract states that it "offers a partial inside look at how that decision was made at NASA" [to reject President Carter's science advisor's 1977 recommendation "that a small panel of inquiry be formed by NASA to see if there had been any new significant findings on UFOs since the . . . [USAF 'Condon Report'] a decade earlier."

 Robinson's packet also contains several pieces of congressional correspondence (mainly responding to constituents' inquiries about the White House's science advisor's recommendation).

 A number of pages consist of indexed bibliographic summaries of various technical papers/reports/monographs from worldwide sources. One of these - a 1995 conference paper from the Los Angeles-based Aerospace Corp. - reveals that "the workshop reported on in this paper had as its main task the coordination of the definition and design of the Untethered Flying Observer (UFO). The UFO is conceived to be a free-flying vehicle hosted on a larger satellite." Now, imagine this prospect: a (U.S.-made) "UFO" capturing images of a genuine UFO that just might be observing the host satellite.

 During my wait for the KSC response to my FOIA request, Oglesby's case has ripened into an ideal candidate for seeking further whistleblowership -- namely via the following classified ad now posted on the inetgiant.com web site (as http://tinyurl.com/lvt6en ):

 == $1,000 REWARD for Verifiable Evidence of NASA's Coverup of the UFO-E.T. Experience at Kennedy Space Center ==

 If Floridian JE Oglesby is telling the truth in his 2008 memoir ("Proof of Extraterrestrial Intelligence: The Cape Canaveral Apollo Program Chronicles" - published by lulu.com), then perhaps his bust needs to be carved into Mount Rushmore. Near the end of his little homespun tome, he recounts how, during the evening of Sunday, September 15, 1968, he and two other men encountered a landed alien spacecraft at the shoreline of Lake Pickett (near the town of Bithlo, several miles west of the NASA Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla.). Part of that encounter included the three witnesses' noticing a rendezvous between the E.T. craft and an official-looking, dark-colored sedan presumed to contain U. S. government personnel. (No wonder former astronaut Edgar Mitchell recently has reiterated his contention that certain NASA officials have had a key role in maintaining the official coverup of UFO-E.T. reality!) If you (or someone you know) possess verifiable evidence confirming Oglesby's case, and are willing to have an ad-hoc panel of UFOlogical experts submit that smoking gun for vetting by the U. S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, you (or (s)he) may qualify for a cash reward of $1,000 from me. Please send to me any applicable sworn declarations and "leaked" documentation (including photographic material, audio recordings, minutes of meetings, videotaped deathbed confessions, etc.), as follows: Larry W. Bryant, director of the Washington, D. C., office of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy; 3518 Martha Custis Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302; phone: 703-931-3341; e-mail: overtci@cavtel.net .

As shown by the below-quoted announcement ad just posted upon the ads-service of inetgiant.com (see: http://tinyurl.com/pnysvg ), the internet once again is proving to be a supreme networking resource for UFOlogists. While such agencies as the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency insist on conducting their various UFO-related activity behind a curtain of secrecy-and-denial, we offer the alternative of worldwide internet access to whistleblower testimony, leaked evidence of official wrongdoing, and leads to heretofore undeclared sources of hard-core data on UFO-E.T. reality.

 Would you care to join us in this growing people's movement for UFOtruth, accountability, justice, and public enlightenment? If you have suggestions for further UFOquest ads in this campaign, please let me know.

 == CIA Stonewalling re Its Interference with FAA Investigation of the Nov. 17, 1986, Alaska UFO Case ==

 Besides the 2007 written declaration of retired FAA official John J. Callahan that certain operatives of the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency in early 1987 pressured him and some of his superiors at the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the U. S. Federal Aviation Administration to cease investigating the Nov. 17, 1986, nighttime encounter with a huge UFO by a Japanese cargo jet over Alaska, the CIA headquarters probably has a cache of records pertaining to this questionable conduct. But so far, in response to my Aug. 13, 2008, FOIA request for access to those records, the CIA freedom-of-information coordinator has decided to (1) deny my requester status as a "representative of the news media" (principally as a columnist for the newsstand periodical UFO Magazine); (2) deny me a records-search-fee waiver, to which that status entitles me; and (3) refuse to conduct a reasonable, prompt search for all CIA-generated/received records responsive to my request. As I await the outcome of my FOIA lawsuit filed on May 20, 2009, in U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Bryant v. CIA), I invite supportive readers and other prospective UFO-E.T.-coverup whistleblowers to assist me in this quest for UFOtruth and for full accountability for the Agency's mistreatment of Mr. Callahan. You may contact me as follows: Larry W. Bryant, director of the Washington, D. C., office of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy; 3518 Martha Custis Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302; phone: 703-931-3341; e-mail: overtci@cavtel.net .

My 20-year-long series of classified ads soliciting UFO-coverup-whistleblower testimony and/or other evidence from readers of various U. S. military-base newspapers came to an end when one or more of these published ads happened to hit a raw nerve, causing the affected base commander to ban their future publication.

 Chief among these commercially printed newspapers was the Army's weekly "Pentagram," distributed to personnel of the Fort Myer military community serving the Pentagon. After a lengthy period of First Amendment litigation, (Bryant v. Rumsfeld, et al.), the Defense Department managed to convince the court that the classified-ads sections of all these hundreds of so-called "civilian-enterprise newspapers" constitute non-public fora - and thus may reject any submitted ad they choose (see Item 3.12).

 Nowadays, thanks to the influx of internet-based ad-placement services that can focus on specific locales (e.g., Fayetteville, N. C., which borders Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base - see Item 2.33), my ad campaign is rising from the ashes of government censorship.

 Indeed, you'll find my latest such ad posted upon the ad service called inetgiant.com (at http://tinyurl.com/qupprn ), whose text reads as follows:

  == BLOW THE WHISTLE on the Supersecret USAF School Called "CSSP"! ==

 Word has come to me that, back in 1996-97, an insider source confided in one or more fellow servicemembers at Fort Lewis, Wash., that officials at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, have been operating there a school dealing with UFOs, interplanetary invasion, and the readiness/role of certain U. S. armed forces in meeting challenges posed by the centuries-old UFO-E.T. reality. The code name of this alleged cosmic training site - CSSP - doesn't stand for Classified Space-and-Saucers Program; rather, it has the bland translation of Combined Service Support Program. Exactly what connection does the CSSP have to the USAF Intelligence Service's Detachment 2 ? If you (or someone you know) can corroborate my informant's revelation, your (documentable) testimony might be critical in persuading the U. S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to subpoena all CSSP records and officials as to the program's origin, staffing, scope, funding, and operations. To advance this prospect, you may contact me as follows: Larry W. Bryant, director, Washington, D. C., office of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy; 3518 Martha Custis Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302; phone: 703-931-3341; e-mail: overtci@cavtel.net .

 NOTE: This stab-in-the-dark ad will remain active at inetgiant.com for at least 25 more days. I encourage you to circulate its contents to all your military associates who support the people's lifting of the official worldwide embargo on UFOtruth.

 Tear down this wall of UFO-E.T. silence at our military bases, Mr. President!

== What Did President Eisenhower Know about UFO-E.T. Reality, and When Did He know It? ==

 Lest the "Caller Bob" saga go down the drain without a whimper, I've created an online "classified ad" to help coax him (and/or someone he knows - or vice versa - there in Fayetteville, N. C.) back into our grasp. The ad - now being hosted by the web site at http://www.inetgiant.com/AdDetails/2038048 - will remain on-site for about 25 more days; it consists of the following text:

 == IN SEARCH OF "CALLER BOB"'s IKE-UFO FILM ==

 Now that several months have passed since a caller to the late-night radio program "Coast to Coast AM" identified himself only as a serviceman named "Bob" during his account of having acquired certain film footage of Pres. Eisenhower and aviation pioneer Howard Hughes examining alleged UFO wreckage and unearthly creatures on stretchers inside a warehouse, some members of the worldwide UFO-research community remain eager to assist in having that film analyzed for authentication and prompt release to the public. If you happen to be "Bob" (or know someone who knows him and his story), we ask that you avail yourself of our services as a liaison to facilitate his promised transmission of this vital evidence to the C2C-AM staff. Without his cooperation at this point, we're left with a sorely missed opportunity to help tell the greatest story ever never told. You, "Bob," hold the key; the door to UFO-E.T. truth awaits its insertion. Please engage us in further coordination on this matter by contacting me as follows: Larry W. Bryant, director of the Washington, D. C., office of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy; 3518 Martha Custis Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302; phone: 703-931-3341; e-mail: overtci@cavtel.net .

 To complement this detective work, I've posted the following "military discussion" topic ("The UFO-E.T.-Ike Saga of "Caller Bob") within the forums section of the online version of the Fayetteville Observer newspaper, by which other seekers of Bob's whereabouts may chime in and compare notes: http://tinyurl.com/om47pq .

 As you'd expect, I remain open to suggestions as to other approaches toward smoking out our "Caller Bob" - the Ultimate Whistleblower.
