NASIC - Air Force UFO Crash Retrieval & Reverse Engineering youtube.com/watch?v=3ghztFdM… An exploration of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), the Air Force's primary intelligence center for scientific and technical analysis (S&TI) of foreign air, space, and missile threats, and vanguard of the National Foreign Materiel Program (FMP). NASIC's inception can be traced back all the way to World War One with the "Foreign Data Section", an intelligence operation at McCook Field tasked with the exploitation and reverse engineering of advanced European airframes. From World War 2 into the Cold War, NASIC's name and cognizant authority shifted on myriad occasions, but its core mission was never altered - exploitation of foreign adversary air and space technology primarily through TECHINT (Technical Intelligence) and MASINT (Measurement and Signature Intelligence). Many know NASIC by reputation, even if they have never heard of NASIC by name.... During the Cold War, NASIC, then known as the Air Technical Intelligence Center (1951-1961) and the Foreign Technology Division (1961-1991), conducted the Air Force's official investigations into UFOs - Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book. Thus, alongside its foreign materiel exploitation (FME) mission, for nearly 80 years the study of UFOs has fallen within NASIC's mission scope. Therefore, it should be no surprise that parallel to its acknowledged UFO mission, for decades claims, testimonies, and stories have swirled about NASIC and its precursors playing a paramount role in UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs that are particularly worthy of analysis.... This extensive investigation seeks to peel back numerous layers and analyze decades of history and evolution to identify NASIC's role within the Legacy Program ecosystem. This video will cover several major points of investigation: - An Analysis of NASIC from World War 1 to today: Foreign Data Section -> Technical Data Branch -> T-2 Intelligence -> AMC Technical Intelligence Division -> Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) -> Foreign Technology Division (FTD) -> National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) -> NASIC (plus a few in between) - Breakdown of the Foreign Material Program under DIA DS&T from 1961 to today, and carefully defining what goes into the FMP: Foreign Materiel Exploitation (FME) and Foreign Material Acquisition (FMA) - Detailing why and how this project concludes NASIC performs a "dual-hatted role" within the FMP: white-hat adversary air and space materiel exploitation, reverse engineering, and derivation, and performing the same work on recovered UFOs in an off-books, unacknowledged capacity - Investigate 3 statements David Grusch recently made that greatly aid us in this investigation: 1. Legacy Programs utilize FME&A architecture for their covert mission directives 2. Select officers within NASIC have served a secondary role within the Legacy Programs (Matthew "Quake" Sullivan) 3. NASIC has analyzed and assessed foreign intelligence assessments on the US Legacy Programs - Identifying NASIC GSI (GEOINT Analysis Squadron) under NASIC GS (Geospatial and Signatures Intelligence Group) as one of the crown jewels for UFO crash retrieval architecture - Define GEOINT, MASINT, TECHINT, and S&TI, and discuss how the application of these intelligence collection methods from tasked and untasked collection platforms aids NASIC, NGA, and the UFO mission space - Discuss how MASINT in particular may be used by NASIC to formulate where and when some UFOs may visit - Explore how NASIC and its legacy program contemporaries utilize hidden hardware and software within the National Intelligence Enterprise to track, monitor, and recover UFOs - Discuss NASIC's sister to intelligence, engineering through AFLCMC, AFRL, and AFTC, has been an intimate partner to NASIC on the crash retrieval mission since the 1940s - Identify how NASIC's FME mission falls under Air Force 99 Series Test and Evaluation publications and argue why NASIC partners closely with AF/TE (the hidden wing) on UFO reverse engineering - Comb through 3 incredible cases outlined in the work of Leonard Stringfield that directly involve NASIC's precursors - Explore a possible connection between NASIC's precursors, TRW, Mary Elizabeth Elliott, and a records hall of UFO data stored at Wright-Patterson AFB - Connecting dots regarding NASIC, WADC, and the Blue Room - and an alleged room at Wright-Patterson AFB holding recovered UFO materials and/or bodies - Much more! This project was both incredibly challenging and a joy to create; I hope you enjoy!
