- They were exempt from disclosure of their UFO documents under the Freedom
- of Information Act in 1979 or 1980 or thereabouts. Their excuse was that
- it would reveal "sources and methods of intelligence gathering", which is
- a crock considering that they could have released the documents segregably
- (partially blacked out), especially the ones from the 1950s where the
- sources would be human names, not technological capabilities.
- Furthermore, I have yet to see the judge use this excuse -- he said
- national security considerations, but the NSA said sources and methods.
- Even their in-camera affidavit was about 80% blacked out.
-
- However, in the book by Capt. Ruppelt, former Bluebook head, written in
- 1956, he said that the "puzzle palace" would occasionally call him and
- complain "Why did you release that information?" Well, we now know that
- the "puzzle palace" was the insiders' term for the NSA ever since that
- book was published a few years back. This could be taken as proof that
- the NSA had something to do with UFOs.
-
- Furthermore, consider the creation of the NSA. Funny you should mention
- this, because somebody pointed out the following to me in email today:
-
- "Truman established the NSA by executive order on the same day as the Nov.
- 1952 Presidential elections. As a result, it's never had any sort of
- Congressional mandate or oversight. Two weeks later, Eisenhower was
- briefed for real by Truman and his Cabinet and the Pentagon. This is the
- same date as the MJ-12 papers. And of course, the CIA was in the process
- of assembling the Robertson Panel. Whether UFOs had anything to do with
- the way the NSA came into being, I don't know, but it is suspicious."
