THINK ABOUTIT SUMMARY:

Project Bando: The CIA’s Secret Alien Autopsy Program

Project/Group Name:    Project Bando (Proword: RISK)

Mission:  To collect, evaluate, and archive all biological and medical information obtained from Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs), including both survivors and recovered cadavers.

Date Started:  1949.   Ended:  1974 (Operations reportedly integrated into successor programs).

Who or Whom Started It: Established under the oversight of MJ-12.

Part of what Government Agency:  CIA (Operational Lead), with technical support from military medical research divisions.

Location:  Primarily based in high-security medical facilities in New Mexico (near the 1949 crash site).

Special Features/Characteristics: 

• Evolutionary Benchmarking: Focused on comparing alien physiology to human biology to find “evolutionary bridges.”

• Zeta Reticuli Data: Primary data source was the 1949 crash survivor (“EBE-1”).

Summary/Description:  Project Bando was the first dedicated exobiological research initiative. While other projects focused on “how the craft flies,” Bando focused on “who is flying them.” Medical researchers conducted extensive autopsies and live examinations to understand alien organ function, nutritional requirements, and genetic structure. The goal was twofold: to understand the potential medical threats posed by these entities and to use their advanced biology to leapfrog human medical science and evolutionary theory.

Related to:  Project Aquarius (Parent project), Project Nomad (Alleged modern successor), Project Sigma (Communication via EBE data), and The Serpo Disclosure.

Source:  Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius (1977); Serpo Disclosure Logs (August 2006); Declassified AFOSI medical references.

Other Details:  Recent reports from the Serpo project suggest that while Bando officially closed in 1974, its mission continues under the Nomad Project. This successor allegedly focuses on the “nomadic” nature of these entities and their long-term biological impact on Earth’s biosphere.

“Project Bando provided United States medical researchers with certain answers to the evolution theory… examining the very fabric of life from beyond our stars.”
