Folks, I'm not sure if this is the correct location for what I want to present or discuss, but the Admins can decide on that later.
I'm an Australian-based researcher who, long ago, decided to focus on - God forbid - the actual frontline of the UFO issue.. You know?, the locations where everyone should be honing in on like a laser beam. Instead, 99.99% of UFOlogy (and I'm talking about half decent researchers, not even the kooks right) has bogged itself down with every distracting fool garbage thing from the CIA's mythical role in secretly investigating UFO's and witnesses on a massive, bullying, organised scale, to the FBI's shock role in the discovery of non-existant crashed "discs", to the fabled "Area 51" (which is actually titled "Detachment 3, Air Force Flight Test Center" and hasn't been "Area 51 for.. a while) fakery and hokum which infests UFO discussion like a poison dye.
I have spent 6 years begging people to look at precisely where UFO's (should they exist) would actually be detected, tracked, tagged, logged, vectored in on (by combat jets), investigated, etc.
It is, for the USA and Canada, the bi-national and almost-silent North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the USAF's huge Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) who are on the frontline of atmospheric detection, identification of objects (one hopes planes usually), space surveillance, etc. Its more complex than that of course.. One has to grasp the massive and ever-changing organisational charts of both entities over time. Simply put, 1) NORAD is responsible for aerospace/air sovereignty, the chasing down of stray or hijacked aircraft, military airspace management (with the USAF's MAJCOM's), and, finally, NORAD are a customer of space data, which comes from, the next entity, 2) AFSPC, who manage the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) which detects and tracks everything in low earth space the size of a golf ball and bigger, and then even objects right out to 40,000 miles above Earth too. AFSPC have 21 sites (ultra-long-range radars like the old SPACE TRACK or SPACE FENCE, and the Ground Electro-Optical Surveillance System (GEODSS) systems, and even a portion of the critical Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) which continually look for new objects like sudden missile launches by rogue nations, and space junk break-ups, and even satellites that "maneuver" in space.
Of the two (NORAD and AFSPC), I have tackled NORAD the most, and what I have found is shocking. Massive concealing of even 50 year old documents; endless lies to researchers (in writing), like the use of the term "UFO" in vast Senior Directors Logs despite claiming SD's and intel staff don't use that term (UFO) in any capacity; Command Directors Logs filled with UFO sighting from military AND civilian pilots; specifically charging UFO researchers more money for basic FOI request searches (internal HQ memos demanded FOI staffers to charge Robert Todd and the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy boys more than they could ever pay on UFO file requests); the NORAD History Office pretending it didn't exist; on and on and on... An entire intel/analysis cell dedicated to analysing so-called "NORAD Remaining Unknowns" with not a single explanation of what they do, even to Congressmen; NORAD having a say in what USAF space detection data should be classified; Condon's team not allowed to see anything at Cheyenne Mountain NORAD Battle Center that wasn't merely well-known and endlessly orbiting space junk; OPREP-3 "Serious Incident/Serious Event reports sent to NORAD HQ and elsewhere when an "Unknown Track" acted up (which in itself is fine, except...) which hales back to Brig. Gen. Carrol H. Bolender's 1969 Air Staff Study which mentioned OPREP-3's (actually he stated AFM 55-11 which contained OPREP-3 usage info, but same deal) as being perfect for "UFO reports which affect national security"; on and on and on...
Anyway, its a big read, and very dry. Many readers wont be bothered with this, but, in order, this is what I have penned on NORAD so far (below). There are at least 40 more entries coming out in the next few years. Its that big.
