THINK ABOUTIT SUMMARY:

PROJECT AQUARIUS

Project/Group Name: Project Aquarius (formerly Project Gleem)

Note: Gleem was allegedly started because President Eisenhower believed UFOs were a direct threat to national security. In 1966, the name was changed to Aquarius to further distance it from any public record.

Mission: To collect and analyze all scientific, technological, medical, and intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and direct contacts with Alien life forms to advance U.S. space technology.

Date Started: 1953 (as Project Gleem). Ended: 1966. Upgraded to Top Secret: Dec 1969. (Reported as ongoing in 1980 internal AFOSI transmissions).

Who or Whom Started It: Established by Executive Order of President Eisenhower, under the direction of the National Security Council and the MJ-12 Control Group.

Part of what Government Agency: Managed by MJ-12 with operational support from CIA (non-appropriated funds), NSA, and USAF.

Location: Operations centered at Kirtland AFB, NM, and Wright-Patterson AFB, OH; Tactical operations in New Mexico (Holloman AFB/Test Sites) and Nevada (Project SNOWBIRD flight testing).

Special Features/Characteristics: Utilizes ORCON (Originator Controlled) classification.

Functions as a “parallel reporting system” to public projects like Blue Book.
Focuses on Identified Alien Crafts (IAC) rather than “Unidentified” objects.

Source: AFOSI FOIA Document 8017D93-126; ParaNet Alpha Special Release 04/01; CAUS Bulletin (Greenwood/Fawcett). Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius (The “Carter Document”), June 14, 1977; Reconstructed by Robert M. Collins and Lee Graham; AFOSI/DIA leak via “Falcon.”

Related to: Moondust Project, Snowbird Project, and Bluefly Project.

Summary: Project Aquarius was the successor to earlier UFO research projects, operating in total secrecy after the public closure of Project Blue Book in 1969. It focused on the most “legitimate” sightings—specifically those involving structured craft (saucer/cylinder) and those occurring near sensitive military installations. It was a primary sub-project of the MJ-12 program. Project Aquarius represents the “reconstruction” of the United States’ secret history with extraterrestrials. It reveals that the government has recovered multiple crafts (1947, 1949, 1958) and successfully hosted a live Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBE) from the Zeta Reticuli star system for three years. The project shifted from simple investigation to active communication (Project SIGMA) and reverse-engineering (Project SNOWBIRD) once non-hostile intent was established.

The Holloman AFB Landing (April 1964)

The text refers to a “prearranged location in the desert of New Mexico” where a USAF officer met two Aliens for three hours. This is widely believed by researchers to be the Holloman Air Force Base landing.

Key Detail: This meeting was only possible because of the language translation data provided by EBE (the 1949 survivor). It’s the “smoking gun” for the diplomatic side of Project SIGMA.

The “Yellow Book” Connection

The researcher Robert Collins mentions that the Aquarius briefing is a “pre-sequel” to the Yellow Book.

What it is: The Yellow Book is allegedly a holographic “history of the universe” provided by the EBEs. Including a small “See Also” note about the Yellow Book adds a lot of “insider” credibility to your post’s structure.

Full Report

Technical analysis of physical evidence (Negative E) confirms the study of craft approximately 37 feet in diameter featuring trilateral insignia. The project involved active surveillance of civilian researchers (e.g., Paul Bennewitz) to prevent public disclosure of “Signal Processing” and “Technical Assistance” (SPA) related to anomalous phenomena. The project encompasses 16 volumes of documentation. Volume IX contains the most controversial data: evidence of alien visitations dating back 5,000 years and the claim that 2,000 years ago, ancestors of the EBEs “planted” a human-like creature on Earth to assist civilization. MJ-12 maintains a policy of secrecy regarding these findings to prevent “worldwide religious panic,” while implementing a gradual release program (Volumes I-III) to condition the public.

“USAF still has interest in all UFO sightings over USAF installation/test ranges… Project Aquarius is still classified top secret with no dissemination outside official intelligence channels.”
