DoW PURSUE Tranche 3: Foreign government UFO reporting takes center stage
Revelations on the UFO programs of Canada, Britain, Sweden and Australia are contained in latest dump
Some very interesting documents were released in the latest Department of War PURSUE release yesterday. Anyone who tells you “It’s all been released before” is clearly not paying attention.
Consider this document from the CIA, titled “Current Status of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOB) Project”. On the left is the document from the CIA Reading Room, compared with the same document from Tranche 3:
CIA Reading Room version:
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0000015365.pdf
PURSUE version:
The CIA version has redacted the data containing the well-known case of Canadian electrical engineer Dr. Wilbert Smith and Project MAGNET, which deals with electro-gravitic propulsion systems and who was informed by Manhattan Project scientist Dr. Robert Sarbacher that the UFO subject was classified “several levels above the hydrogen bomb”. UFO whistleblower David Grusch has mentioned Smith and Sarbacher in interviews with Jesse Michels and Ross Coulthart. It should also be noted that Nazi nuclear propulsion expert Count Helmut von Zborowski was engaged as a consultant for the saucer project of A.V. Roe, of Toronto, Canada that is mentioned at the end of the Canadian paragraph.
The paragraph regarding British efforts is fully redacted in the CIA version, and partially redacted in the PURSUE version. Needless to say, it can be confirmed there was some project underway.
Likewise, Sweden’s entry is fully redacted by the CIA, and also almost entirely redacted in the PURSUE version as well. I believe this may be related to crash retrieval efforts, particularly one case of a UFO seen to crash into a lake.
Perhaps the most important release, however, was the one related to Australian scientist O.H. “Harry” Turner, as mentioned by Dave Grusch at the June 9 press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building. Page 20 of Turner’s 1971 report has the following entry:
This is known as the Durant Report, and it was part of the PURSUE release.
As Turner states, it forms the blueprint for the debunking and disinformation program that continues to this day.
It forms part of the Addendum to the Robertson Panel report, which can be found here, starting on page 15:
Interestingly, Dr. Sam Goudsmit, Manhattan Project scientist and ALSOS mission lead scientist had the following to say about crashed interplanetary vehicles:
Goudsmit was the subject of the Reality Check interview that myself and fellow researcher Jed Davis MJ12 Logic did with Ross where we presented Jed’s findings that prove at least some of the Majestic Documents are real:
Unfortunately, we didn’t get everything. Although the Durant report contains direct references to Project PALLADIUM, where the CIA injected false signals into the Soviet air defense radars to give the impression UFOs were active in their airspace (a highly dangerous undertaking, and might be why Gen. Neil McCasland told Tom DeLonge “There were heroes in Russia, who didn’t fire back when it appeared we were attacking”), there are still things we are not allowed to see:
Document no. 400165 (6-page memo, 16 February 1953) and 400169 (25-page report, 17 January 1953) are classified under the National Security Act of 1947 and CIA Act of 1949 (as amended) and are therefore not subject to Freedom of Information Act declassification requests. Don’t waste your time trying for FOIA- instead you should petition Reps. Luna, Burchett, Burlison and Moskowitz to ask the Public Interest Declassification Board to have them fully declassified.
And Australia, Canada, Britain and Sweden? You guys need to get your act together and follow suit. We KNOW you have an interest in the subject.
The removal of the 1953 documents is especially galling. They are just shy of 75 years old and should be up for mandatory declassification—let alone extra scrutiny based on the PURSUE initiative. If everything 75 plus years and older was declassified and released in PURSUE the topic would move from “What if?” to “What now?”
Great read as always.
It wouldn't surprise me if Britain's involvement is completely outsourced on our shores to our American "allies", in private defence contracts, then transported over to the US. That way the UK government is never really in the know save for a select few and the private contractors/gatekeepers involved. Otherwise I think there would have been a leak here by now. Similar to US setup but we wash our hands of it by allocating the entire thing over to the US
