... All I can say is that we ought to have a lot more John Greenwald jrs in this field, and a lot less charlatans.


Cheers.

As Above So Below
Former CIA Operations Officer, Jim Semivan, Comments on the Wilson/Davis Documents
by Joe Murgia

The following is from researcher Melinda Leslie, owner of Sedona UFO Sighting Tours, in Arizona. I first interviewed her about MILABS back in the late-90s for my Tampa Public Access Television show, “The UfoJoe Show.” According to her bio, Melinda has been researching individuals involved in the UFO “cover-up” for 28 years.

Since Melinda didn’t record the interview, I asked her about the accuracy of her notes. She told me, “Those were pretty much dead on quotes. I was writing as he was talking and cleaned them up immediately after hanging up.”

According to their website, Semivan is the Co-founder, Board Member and Vice President of Operations for “To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science.” He spent twenty-five years of his career as Operations Officer for the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations. He was also an Intelligence Community consultant for training in leadership, CIA tradecraft and countering weapons of mass destruction.

Semivan retired in 2007 after a 25-year career in the Central Intelligence Agency’s National Clandestine Service. At the time of his retirement he was a member of the CIA’s Senior Intelligence Service. Jim served multiple overseas and domestic tours along with senior management positions in CIA headquarters. He is the recipient of the Agency’s Career Intelligence Medal.

This is the second public comment on the Wilson/Davis documents from someone associated with TTSA. Hal Puthoff, PhD, was the first.

If you’d like to have an idea on why Semivan has an interest in the UFO/UAP subject, I suggest you read his foreword to Tom Delonge’s and A.J. Hartley’s “Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows.”


Considering his resume, here’s an excerpt from what I consider to be a profound and important essay/foreword:
As for my formal introduction to the Phenomenon, as we know it in today’s context, it came suddenly and unexpectedly. I will not attempt to go into the experience here, but I will say that it was one of life’s game changers for both my wife and me. The experience was simultaneously frightening, perplexing, frustrating and absurd. It was also both physical and emotional, although I am undecided as to whether there was any spiritual addendum. Almost thirty years later, I am still not sure what to make of the experience. What I do know, however, is that this event changed my view of what constitutes our collective version of reality.

By Melinda Leslie

I had a forty-three-minute phone discussion with Jim Semivan regarding the Wilson/Davis documents, It was essentially a forty-three-minute-long, carefully worded non-denial. I gave him many opportunities within our conversation to deny them and their contents, but he never did. In following this story, it seems this is par for the course with similar responses from the others that have been asked. Jim’s tone, cadence, and need to thoroughly (overly) explain security oaths, as well as his repeated explaining of their “no comment” and “no position” position throughout the conversation, spoke volumes to me that they are actually very concerned and have circled the wagons on this. While I didn’t take many notes at the time (my bad), here is what I do have that are some nearly exact quotes. These are not in order. I feel these first ones are important.

Jim Semivan – JS

Melinda Leslie – ML

JS: “We have to say no comment because of our clearances still. We are bound by our oaths. We have those oaths till our death.”

JS: “Even if one sentence in the document is classified, or dealing with something that is, we can not comment on the entire document.”

JS: “We are friends with many of the individuals mentioned. We do not want to create problems, difficulties for them. (Paraphrasing) It would be embarrassing for them, cause them grief, legalities arise, detrimental towards their jobs, positions, projects.”

ML: “What is TTSA’s position on the Wilson document?”

JS: “We don’t have a position. We simply can’t comment., Because of oath of secrecy, were not allowed even when we know something or may want to say.”

ML: “What is TTSA’s game plan (re docs)”

JS: “No game plan for TTSA. We’ll see where it goes.”

ML: “Did Eric write it?”

JS: “No comment”

ML: “Did he record it?”

JS: “Don’t know”

ML: “What did Eric say about this?”

JS: “Have not spoken to him, I assume Hal did.”

(I gave Semivan repeated chances to deny and he never did. One such example:)

ML: “Is UFOlogy wasting its time?”

JS: (after a long pause) “Again, no comment”

~~~~~

Melinda Leslie is an investigator in the field of Ufology with 30 years of experience. She first interviewed Semivan in 2018. For 10 years she has been the Owner of UFO Sighting Tours in Sedona, Arizona, where she has conducted 1,200 tours with the use of military Night Vision Goggles. Melinda has researched individuals involved in the UFO “cover-up” for 28 years. She is also considered by many to be the authority on a covert military and intelligence agency involvement in UFO abduction cases (a.k.a. MILABS).

Bob McGwier provides further information about his knowledge of the Wilson/Davis notes
By Keith Basterfield

Background

On 5 July 2020, U.S. researcher Joe Murgia, drew our attention to a comment made by Dr. Bob McGwier, on the Facebook page of "Spaced Our Radio" host, Dave Scott. In a reply to another person, commenting about the Wilson/Davis notes, Dr. McGwier said:




"That is not the most interesting thing I've read. The most interesting thing I've read is contemporaneous mail from Thomas Wilson to someone else confirming the meeting and the content of the meeting BEFORE it was widely distributed..."

I later revisited that same Facebook page and found an additional comment from Dr. McGwier, which read:

"I believe there is sufficient evidence that the meeting was held and I cannot figure out what Eric Davis would get from lying. I lean towards accepting the meeting and the contents which are still unverified because we want the SAPs not just their existence."

Dr. McGwier provides more information

Joe, then provided a transcript of a short Facebook Messenger conversation he had with Dr. McGwier. This included the statement, by McGwier, that he knew Admiral Wilson through the Institute for Defense Analyses. For more information on this Institute please see further down in this blog. His short conversation raised further questions in my mind, so I reached out to Dr. McGwier, myself, and he kindly responded to my queries. With his permission, I provide the questions and answers, for the further information of blog readers.

Q1. Was the communication from Wilson to someone else, an email, a letter or some other form of communication? Which?

A1. Mail.

Q2. What were the circumstances which allowed you to see this communication?

A2. Happenstance, seredipitous, synchronicity? I was doing work in the intelligence community and a friend been sent the mail. He showed it to me and told me what he thought it meant. I could never forget Admiral Wilson. So this is a personal confidence but did not come from Wilson. I didn't think about it again until this all blew up again.

Q3. You mentioned to Joe that you thought this was in 2004/2005. However, where specificially were you when you saw the communication?

A3. Inside a USG government facility. The person was concerned that the mail might be classified. It may be.

Q4. At the time what were your thoughts upon seeing the contents of the communication?

A4. At that point in time I was a hard nosed scientist acting regularly as an Engineer/MacGayver in the US government and I thought it was probably crap. I put it out of my mind until recently.

Q5. What can you recall about the contents of the communication?

A5. Wilson was complaining about programs dealing with UFOs and crashes that he didn't have access to.

Q6. Do you recall who the receipient of the communication was?

A6. Yes. I do recall. That is what I am protecting for the time being.

Who is Bob McGwier?

His LinkedIn profile, provides a great deal of information about his career. I particularly note the following:

* Founder and Technical Adviser of HawkEye 360. September 2015 to the present

* Director of Research, Hume Center and Research Professor of ECE, Virginia Polytechnic . 2011 to the present

* Between 1984 and June 2011 he was a Member of Research Staff at the Center for Communications Research, Princeton, NJ, at the Institute for Defense Analyses where he worked on research for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Where was he when he saw the communication?
In his short communication with Joe Murgia, Dr. McGwier stated that at the time "In late 2004 or early 2005, I went embedded at U.S. government entities that IDA worked for." IDA is short for the Institute for Defense Analyses. Its website states that:

"The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) is a private, nonprofit corporation headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington DC. IDA's mission is to answer the most challenging U.S.security and science policy questions with objective analysis leveraging extraordinary scientific, technical and analytic expertise."

The Center for Communications Research website states, in part, that:

"The two Centers employ more than 70 PhD. mathematicians and computer scientists, working on poroblems in cryptography, cryptanalysis, algorithms, high-performance computing, information processing, signal processing, and network security, as well as related areas of pure and applied mathematics."

It should be noted that Dr. McGwier's professional qualifications include:

* 1975-1977. Bs. Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Auburn University

* 1980-1984. PhD. Applied Mathematics, Brown University.

What are his UAP interests?
On 10 March 2020, Dr. McGwier appeared on Fade to Black on the Jimmy Church show Here, Dr.McGwier discussed the use of computer technology in the field of UFO detection. His Sky Hub website states that coming soon is a "A world wide, public search for UAPs using a global network of machine-learning, smart cameras and sensor arrays built by you using our opensource software." Sky Hub is a continuation of the former UAP Tracking Network Project.
