(STARpod.org) -- Why would Russian spies be interested in American UFO tales?
The short answer is there are well-established connections between UFO tales and senior American intelligence officials.
When the FBI busted an alleged Russian spy network, the public learned a great deal about the subtle methods employed to collect intelligence.
Similar methods are found in the UFO spy game, where tall tales of extraterrestrial contact provide entry to persons of interest.
The Justice Department charged the spies in two lengthy complaints, where details of the alleged Russian spy activities are provided by FBI Special Agents.
About four years ago, an American intelligence person, Dr. Ronald S. Pandolfi -- who had reportedly testified in front of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about technology leaks, according to the New York Times -- leaked a series of email messages to a handful of private parties.
The topic of the messages, which became the basis of a series of STARstream Research articles titled "Exempt from Legal Recourse," was the concern that secure government facilities may have been compromised when a former Air Force Office of Special Investigations Special Agent allegedly accompanied a film crew near sensitive locations, while making a UFO documentary.
Adding to the concern were allegations that two former intelligence persons from the Defense Intelligence Agency had been involved in the dissemination of UFO tales of alien contact with the US government.
In one email titled "Search For Two DIA Sources," Pandolfi explained to his associate, a former senior CIA person still consulting on national security issues:
Your expansion of the story of the two DIA employees visiting LANL [Los Alamos National Laboratory] and being known to others has me concerned. The names you provided do not correspond to any DIA employees. There are no people with those names that have TS//SCI [Top Secret Special Compartmentalized Information] clearances.
Pandolfi continued, explaining that although the allegations might have fallen out from a hoax perpetrated on hapless Internet UFO junkies, another more serious possibility remained:
If the story of the sources/visitors is true, they are falsely representing themselves as DIA employees, possibly to access sensitive facilities and acquire classified information for a foreign service...there may actually be a network of foreign agents penetrating some of our most sensitive facilities under the false flag of a DIA operation.

Secrets of the CORE STORY of Extraterrestrial Alien ContactHis name is Ingo Swann. In the 1970s, he was one of America's secret weapons brought to bear against the Soviet Union: a psychic spy, personally tested by the CIA. In the 1980s, Swann held a TOP SECRET clearance, and was instrumental in training Army and Defense Intelligence Agency personnel. Swann's psychic methods were a key component in the mind-war arsenal of the USAF, the Army, the Navy, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and many others, hidden deep inside compartments of the government. The story of extraterrestrial human-mind to alien-mind telepathy, dangerous personal encounters, and a near-death experience of coming under laser fire from an extraterrestrial vehicle somewhere in the northern wilderness of Alaska, sounds like pages torn from a science fiction novel. The core of the story is the threat of invasive 'telepathy' to penetrate the human conscious experience.
Although Pandolfi appeared to focus on the possibility that the former Air Force OSI Special Agent might have been providing information to foreign intelligence services, the real security threat found in the UFO Spy Game is more subtle, as demonstrated by the alleged Russian spy network.
According to FBI testimony found in the complaint:
The targets of the FBI's investigation include covert SVR (Russian intelligence) agents who assume false identities, and who are living in the United States on long-term, "deep-cover" assignments. These Russian secret agents work to hide all connections between themselves and Russia, even as they act at the direction and under the control of the SVR; these secret agents are typically called "illegals." The FBI's investigation has revealed that a network of illegals (the "Illegals" ) is now living and operating in the United States in the service of one primary, long-term goal: to become sufficiently "Americanized" such that they can gather information about the United States for Russia, and can successfully recruit sources who are in, or are able to infiltrate, United States policy-making circles.
[ Who's Who in the Alleged Russian Spy Network ]
UFO tales are not just about lucid dreams misinterpreted as weird encounters with otherworldly beings. There is a subset of scientists and physicists who have been inspired by the UFO tales to explore new breakthrough technologies. Often referred to as "reverse-engineered" technologies, the drive to find the next big game changer includes advanced propulsion, the discovery of new physics, and mind-altering methods of great interest to the intelligence community.
The popular press often refers to their science fiction counterparts, like antigravity, warp drive, and telepathy.
Again, the truth is more subtle.
Breakthrough ideas are exciting topics of discussion among researchers in an age where the Internet has effectively melted away international borders.
Engaging a potential prospect about UFO propulsion can lead to elicitation of information about real-world rocket engine designs, as an example.
Recently Laura Eisenhower, the great-granddaughter of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, went public with a claim that a secret black ops group had attempted to recruit her for a secret mission, in 2006.
Viewed in the context of the alleged Russian spy ring, with a stated purpose "to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in US," I personally find Ms. Eisenhower's concern a compelling example of the potential of intelligence penetration into the US policy machinery.
Ms. Eisenhower's mother, Susan Eisenhower, is a key consultant on nuclear and Russian issues, to the US government.
Susan Eisenhower was appointed to a key energy committee providing policy recommendations to Obama Energy Secretary Chu.
On the technology side, Susan Eisenhower's partner was involved with Soviet Mars missions in the 1970s -- and the person Laura Eisenhower associates with the black ops group is involved in the private sector development of nuclear powered rockets for interstellar missions to the moon and Mars.
Although it is difficult to discern whether or not Laura Eisenhower's testimony of recruitment is evidence of an intelligence operation -- possibly wrapped inside a convenient new-age science fiction fantasy to deter official investigators -- her story and her family heritage, in the context of the current American and international political climate, provides a clear example of the intelligence threat lurking in the UFO spy game.
