BEHIND THE SCENES

The latest leak has moved beyond the mere entertainment value of a real-life "X-files," over concerns that genuine classified material was covertly transmitted using bogus UFO material. If true, then real espionage has taken cover under the umbrella of paranormal 'giggle-factor' fiction.

The names of several very highly placed and respected government officials have been mentioned in passing, including Ruth David and John Gannon, both members of the DIA USAF TIGER committee. John Gannon has served as Deputy Director for Intelligence at CIA, Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, and Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Analysis and Production. Other names passed to  Starstream Research include John Barry Hennessey and Colonel Weaver of USAF. A meeting involving Hennessey and Weaver, and at least one CIA analyst now working under the Director of National Intelligence, and his associate, a former CIA senior analyst, appears to be close to the center of the controversy.

Previously Starstream Research was erroneously informed that details a source had provided concerning the results of a polygraph examination discussed at this meeting were in error. Eventually we killed the original story when concerns were raised by a government officer.

In an email addressed to Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum, the officer had requested removal of his name and position, as "These are irrelevant to your story and compromise personal and national security." Following redaction of the sensitive information, an associate of the officer raised additional concerns about the content of the story, resulting in an editorial decision to remove the article.

New information has forced a re-evaluation of our original story. It appears that the eye witness source that disputed details about the meeting had been unaware of the veracity of certain details, primarily regarding a contentious discussion over the results of a polygraph test administered to an 'AVIAN' source.

Our present assumption about the current situation is that we are observing
counterintelligence activities on the periphery of the so-called UFO community.

According to a recent report on U.S. Government Policy, "U.S. Counterintelligence will shift from a reactive posture to a positive strategy of seizing advantage."

We have taken special note of the fact that the 'man behind the curtain' operating in plain sight has taken up a position with the DIA, closely  tied to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 created the Office of the DNI, and a National Counterintelligence Executive as part of an over-all attempt to coordinate the various intelligence agencies.

Is there any indication that the DNI would have an interest in UFO groups and their representatives in the private sector? The counterintelligence policy states, "Many (adversaries) employ collection techniques that extend beyond simple clandestine operations and include tasking visiting businessmen, scientists, foreign students, trade shows, and debriefing visitors upon their return home." The UFO community has no shortage of high-tech enthusiasts, including and not limited to scientists, businessmen, government officers and their foreign counterparts. It would appear that the UFO business is fertile ground for developing and cultivating potential sources.

How pervasive is the counterintelligence business in the UFO community?

"Since 1985, nearly 80 Americans have been arrested for crimes related to passing classified information to foreign governments... more than 90 countries target sensitive U.S. technologies ..."

The restructured U.S. counterintelligence policy includes preemptive actions:

"We will reach out to the private sector, especially those in the science and technology community, to increase awareness by providing threat information, and educating these audiences to the variety of ways our adversaries acquire and steal information."

The fundamental approach to counterintelligence is to first identify the foreign elements, then assess the risks to the national security. Once evaluated, the goal is to neutralize the intelligence effort of an adversary, and exploit the foreign intelligence elements to our advantage.

As a result of the new information, Starstream Research has made an editorial decision to re-release the original story, as originally written, with only the name and position of the officer redacted:

Intelligence Analyst Exposed by Washington Insider

July 3, 2006

Leaked background information from Washington insider Dan T. Smith has made its way into a widely distributed email list, resulting in the public exposure of a top intelligence analyst. His name is [redacted], also widely known as 'Ron,' the real-life Fox Mulder of the CIA. In 1998 [redacted] appeared in a Pulitzer Prize winning story in the New York Times, concerning his role in the CIA investigation of a controversial missile technology transfer between Hughes Electronic Corporation and China.  Today [redacted] sports a shiny new DIA military email address, lending some support to Mr. Smith's claim that [redacted] has moved to [redacted] under Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte.

A series of allegations were passed by Mr. Smith to Victor Martinez, and shortly thereafter appeared in a series of emails distributed by Martinez to an extensive list of contacts, including numerous scientists with government email addresses, a Nobel prize winner, various journalists, a former Director of the CIA, and other former and present government employees and consultants. Several of the recipients are high ranking intelligence officials and consultants to the U.S. government in the area of national security.

Allegations coming from Mr. Smith include claims that bits of actual top secret information had been passed in a series of bogus UFO papers,
popularly known as the MJ-12 documents. At issue was the identity of "Falcon," an alleged member of the so-called AVIARY group of U.S. government insiders interested in the impact of the UFO question on national security.

Smith mentions a 1988 meeting at the CIA between Air Force Colonels Hennessey and Weaver and the CIA's [redacted] to discuss questionable activities by ex-AFOSI Special Agent Richard C. Doty. Doty is well known for his involvement in Air Force counter-intelligence activities involving UFO's. One item of discussion at the 1988 meeting was the result of a polygraph test administered to Agent Doty. When CIA analyst [redacted] and [redacted], a polygraph expert, disputed Hennessey's claim that Doty had failed the test, Smith says they walked out.

In an email response to a request for confirmation of Mr. Smith's allegations, [redacted] offered the following opinion:

"It was Doty who claimed Col. Hennessey was the Falcon, and it was Doty who claimed Col. Hennessey had provided him (Doty) with UFO documents for release to the public.  My opinion is that Doty personally forged these documents, that he used the Falcon name to cover his tracks, and that he had absolutely no professional or personal relationship with Col. Hennessey."

According to his official USAF biography, Colonel Hennessey is "a member of the Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service, is Director of Security, Counterintelligence and Special Program Oversight, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. He is responsible for security and CI (counter-intelligence) policy as well as management oversight of all Air Force Security and Special Access Programs, which includes ensuring the security of various research projects with significant potential impact on the defense capabilities of this country."
