Subject: Re: Project SIGN Research Center Update
PUBLIC RELEASE:
On June 27, 1999 Wendy Connors, Project SIGN Research Center
and Michael David Hall, Project Blue Book Research Center,
obtained a never publicly known 114 page history of Air Materiel
Command's T-2 Intelligence. This Historical Study was prepared
by Air Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio and
released in August 1948. This history was classified SECRET and
first xeroxed in 1965. It has been declassified. The report was
prepared from over 678 pages of supplemental sources. The
supplemental pages detail the information that is contained
within this Historical Study.
The history was obtained from various sources within the War
Department and through personal interviews with personnel
involved in A-2 Intelligence at both the Pentagon and those at
T-2 Technical Intelligence at what used to be Wright Field.
Reviewing of this history shows the following major headings:
1. List of Illustrations
2. List of Charts
3. Glossary of Abbreviations
4. Chapter One: European Background of T-2 Techncial
Intelligence
5. Chapter Two: Forerunners and Initial Organization of T-2.
6. Chapter Three: Accomplishments of T-2 (Collection Division,
Analysis Division, Air Documents Division, Photographic
Division and the Historical Office.
7. Bibliography
8. Index
This history is a rich background detailing the processes T-2
Intelligence used, the personnel involved as well as the
accomplishments of such areas as Operation Lusty and Paperclip
among others. It should be considered the beginning point of how
T-2 conducted its affairs and organization, which would
eventually involve the first official investigation of flying
discs under Project SIGN in 1948.
On the Project SIGN Research Center website, www.projectsign.com
has been posted two photos and an audio clip. The two photos
consist of Colonel Howard McCoy, T-2 Intelligence Commanding
General in 1947 and in charge of Project Blue Book and the first
known photo of the Project SIGN team around the conference table
at T-2 Intelligence at W.P.A.F.B. in 1948. The audio clip is of
Colonel Howard McCoy detailing his views on "space people."
Both Mike and I are proud to have brought this information to
the field of ufological study as it sheds much important light
on how the entire organizational process worked during the early
months of Project SIGN and fills many gaps in current ufological
knowledge.
