THE DEEP SECRETS OF A UFO THINK-TANK SECRETS THE DEEP UFO THINK- -TANK Since 1946, RAND has been intimately involved in the highly classified study of UFOs for the US government, as confirmed by once-secret reports and revelations by key members of the military-industrial complex. ince the 1940s, the US government has quietly engaged one of its key defence and intelligence agency contractors as a secret UFO "think- tank". Investigation reveals that the esteemed RAND Corporation is a think-tank that has given far more than "passing thought" to things extraterrestrial. RAND's hidden history of UFO involvement has been discovered to include work in policy analysis, evaluation of evidence and advice on the potential technological advantages achieved from UFO study. Telling connections have also been found between RAND and the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, crash event. Since 1946, RAND has been intimately involved in the highly classified study of UFOs for the US government, as confirmed by once-secret reports and revelations by key members of the military-industrial complex. What is RAND? - RAND Corporation was established in 1946 by the United States Army Air Forces as Project RAND (for Research ANd Development) and since 1948 has been registered as a nonprofit organisation. It is funded through government contracts, university collaborators and by "private donors". RAND's primary agency clients include the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, the think-tank maintains branches worldwide. RAND's stated mission is to help to "improve policy and decision making through objective research and analysis". Its work is officially conducted "for the public welfare and security of the United States of America". Over 30 Nobel Prize winners have been employed by RAND. From physics to economics, the 2,000-person think-tank provides high-level information and evaluation to the US government. Deeper review shows that RAND has conducted studies in such areas as weapons development, intelligence gathering and analysis and the design of sensitive underground installations for the US Air Force (USAF). Far more concealed is RAND's intimate involvement in highly classified UFO study for the US government: RAND’s Founders Held the Secret of the Saucers From its very inception, the men of RAND knew much about saucers. RAND was conceived by Donald Douglas, Sr, founder and CEO of the Douglas Aircraft Company (and a protégé of Dr Jerome Hunsaker at Massachusetts Institute of Technology) along with two military officer luminaries. These officers carried with them significant "UFO histories". The officers behind RAND were the then Major General Curtis LeMay (the Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development) and General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold (considered the "father" of the modern US Air Force, which was established in September 1947). In May 1948, RAND was separated from Douglas Aircraft and became its own operating entity. by Anthony Bragalia © 2009-2011 The Bragalia Files http://bragalia.blogspot.com/ NEXUS ° 61 DECEMBER 2011 - JANUARY 2012 www.nexusmagazine.com
