SPECIAL RELEASE: AQUARIUS IS UFO PROJECT, SAYS NSAPARANET ALPHA 04/01 -- No, this is not an April Fool joke. Nor, by the way, is it the full extent of the Big Breakthrough. But it’s a good start. Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS) is reporting that the NSA has CONFIRMED that the US Air Force project code-named Aquarius is UFO-oriented. In their latest CAUS BULLETIN, editors Barry Greenwood and Lawrence Fawcett state the following: << One of our members, Clifford Stone, received copies of letters sent to Senators John Glenn and Peter Domenici affirming that this was so. Stone requested the assistance of the Senators when the NSA became balky at responding to his requests on Aquarius. This comes as a striking reversal to previous statements about the non-relationship of Aquarius to UFOs. Apparently, the NSA does have their own "Project Aquarius" which they claim doesn't relate to UFOs. Feeling pressure from public inquiries which confused the NSA's "Aquarius" with the rumoured Aquarius/UFO project, the NSA seemingly has decided to "spill the beans" on the Air Force. Why this happened is unknown since a simple "no" to the senators probably would not have gone any further. The NSA may have felt that with the number of inquiries coming in suddenly on Aquarius, there may have been a "smoking gun" in someone's hands that would have rendered additional denials into the category of "bald-faced lie".

>>The significance of this revelation is this: 1) The Air Force, contrary to public claims, continued investigating UFOs covertly at least until 1976. 2) The document, which first tipped investigators off to the existence of Aquariusis now, rendered much more credible. That document also spoke of something called MJ-12, a rumoured high-level brain trust signed into existence by Harry S Truman in 1947 to study the UFO phenomenon. The next part of the Big Breakthrough is reported to be an admission by the Pentagon of the continued existence of MJ-12.I can now tell you the media to keep your eyes on for further revelations, if any are forthcoming: The New York Times, and 60 Minutes. There are unconfirmed reports that the latter TV magazine will be featuring a very revealing story on the UFO front sometime this month. There are CONFIRMED reports that the New York Times Science editor has heard rumours flying around the Pentagon to the effect that either A) there will be an official announcement or B) a whistle-blower is about to blow. In the same vein, last night I had a phone conversation with Major James McGaha, co-founder of Tucson Skeptics, Inc., the same group that today awarded the first "Fuzzy" to former state rep Jim Cooper (see <N>ews). Last year before going public with our info on Aquarius, I showed the document to the Major, whose reaction was quite interesting. When I told him last night that Sen’s Glenn and Domenici had reportedly confirmed the document, his reaction was somewhat different. "The letters from the Senators are probably forged", he said. "You know, its like those letters from Sen. Goldwater that were circulated, to the effect that he had been denied entrance to some building at Wright-Patterson AFB, which was supposed to contain alien bodies. Those letters made the Senator look ridiculous! I'd be willing to bet some aide of his just pulled a joke. "ParaNet has confirmed that the Goldwater letters were no joke. The Senator has admitted in several interviews that the event really took place. We are in the process of confirming the Glenn and Domenici letters. Details to follow.
