WASHINGTON (STARpod.org) -- His name is [redacted], also widely known (thanks in part to Jon Ronson's book, "The Men Who Stare at Goats") 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.

Note: Previously Starstream Research was erroneously informed that a source had provided false information about the results of a polygraph examination allegedly discussed at a meeting between CIA and USAF personnel. 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.

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.

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."
