Luraschi's activities were merely the tip of the iceberg. Graham Greene, for example, disowned the 1958 adapatation of his Vietnam-set novel The Quiet American, describing it as a "propaganda film for America". In the title role, Audie Murphy played not Greene's dangerously ambiguous figure - whose belief in the justice of American foreign policy allows him to ignore the appalling consequences of his actions - but a simple hero.
The cynical British journalist, played by Michael Redgrave, is instead the man whose moral compass has gone awry. Greene's American had been based in part on the legendary CIA operative in Vietnam, Colonel Edward Lansdale. How apt, then, that it should have been Lansdale who persuaded director Joseph Mankewiecz to change the script to suit his own ends.
The CIA didn't just offer guidance to film-makers, however. It even offered money. In 1950, the agency bought the rights to George Orwell's Animal Farm, and then funded the 1954 British animated version of the film. Its involvement had long been rumoured, but only in the past decade have those rumours been substantiated, and the tale of the CIA's role told in Daniel Leab's book Orwell Subverted.
An offer they couldn't refuse

The recent and unprecedented push by the MSM for all things UFO and especially TTSA-related is best explained by the intelligence community taking over the narrative.
The "why" is certainly open to interpretation but there's not much room to argue that public sentiment is being "massaged."
The CIA & Hollywood is an old partnership as is its relationship with the mockingbird media. And lo and behold their assets are even in "starring" roles in these ufological psyops. Here's just a bit about past involvement.

The CIA is scared, just like their operatives that swarm this board.

It has been proven that the so called tic-tacs are nothing more than exhaust from the engines of another aircraft. Perspective makes it appear to be moving very fast. Otherwise I would consider it a hoax. The signatures were very hot because the camera was set to infrared and being looked at by rookie pilots.
I read an analysis of the videos but can't find it.

I have no reason to lie. I did see an analysis of the video which showed the tic tacs were exhaust from other jets in the area in infrared. I couldn't find the article on the analysis. Maybe it was taken down. I am not a liar.
