Yea, it's quite intriguing. What is most interesting is the quote from George Bush to that reporter... something of the sort... " If they knew what we have done, they would lynch us" ... in response to the idea of disclosing all the major secrets.

All levels of classification, and all classification of material is done by the Executive branch. The President is the head of the Executive branch and it's the President who signs executive orders. Even if you take the MJ-12 documents at face value, the MJ12 group was commissioned by President Truman and answered only to the President.

Perhaps someone can explain to me how a member of the executive branch can tell a sitting President that he does not have clearance to see certain classified information. The President always has clearance, as any level of classification ultimately stems from an executive order signed by a President. Moreover, the President always has a need to know, because he's the head of the executive branch and must be fully informed to do his job and make decisions. It is logically impossible for there to be a level of classification above the President. Even if some president at some point actually signed an executive order saying certain information IS above his own knowledge, that executive order could always be cancelled by that president or a new president signing a new, revised executive order.

"38 Levels above Top Secret" so high the president can't know about it is simply ridiculous on its face. I'm as skeptical of government as the next guy, and I'm open-minded when it comes to government knowledge of UFOs. But the notion that George HW Bush, as CIA director, would tell President Carter "sorry you can't see that classified information, Mr. President" is simply beyond belief. The CIA director serves at the pleasure of the president, and Carter would have fired Daddy Bush instantly were he to be nutty enough to say something so baseless to the sitting president. The President ALWAYS has clearance, and ALWAYS has a need to know.

Wow. I enjoyed watching that video, but it brought up something from when I was a kid, living on an airbase, my dad was a Senior Master Seargeant in the Air Force, my mother and me and my younger sister were outside of the commesary ( is that the right spelling?) and we all saw something in the sky, I was very little and did not identify it at the time as being anything I was or wasn't familar with, but my mother had said "holy God! Look at that!", and I saw a large tubular shaped thing flying across the sky, like a plane with no wings, the sun reflected from it at one point it was blinding. It was going very slowly, and no sound. When my mom tryed to tell my dad about it that afternoon, he got very serious, almost mad, and told her not to ever, ever bring that up again. She was bull headed and kept saying stuff about it and he finally turned to her, with tears in his eyes, and said 'please honey, please, don't do this to us, I have worked my whole life for this, I can't". It was never spoken of again.

This is BS. There is no "level" above top secret, but then you get into top secret/ compartmentalized information. here in a project each portion is compartmentalzied and no one in any compartment knows anything about the others


The format for this is Top Secret/ classification name

IE: the Top Secret/MAJIC that some throw around.


Good point. I raised the same objection when Bob Lazar mentioned something along the lines of "36 levels above top secret". Technically by statute, top secret is the highest level of classification. But there are hundreds of different sensitive compartmented information (SCI) categories as well as extremely restricted special access programs (SAP). So of course there is information that is considered far more classified than run of the mill top secret material.

And thinking about the way classification works, the concept of a hierarchy of numerical levels above top secret makes little sense. Because for compartments to be stratified in such a way, some determining authority would need to compare and contrast them to know which is more sensitive.

And the very idea of one person or agency having access to everything goes against the whole system's way of business. There are people with access to multiple compartments, but it's always kept to a minimum and nobody has anywhere close to "full" access to everything. It's not a pyramid structure, but a house of mirrors. Compartments within compartments, the really black stuff is completely sealed off from govt oversight. A SAP administrator has 100% total authority on who is allowed into the loop.


I liked this video, although it seemed incoherent and somewhat disjointed.
I think there were factual errors too. Cosmic is well known as a special caveat for top secret NATO information. Like they would name the compartment about UFOs and aliens, cosmic. LOL overactive imaginations.
Truth is there are probably dozens of separate areas of knowledge concerning UFOs, with only the so called "Majestic" type board seeing the big picture. I don't believe everything Corso wrote in his book, but I think he was around while some of the formative Corporate/Government UFO research programs developed.

The Daniel Sheehan, Jimmy Carter, Marcia Smith story is one of the best. UFO researcher Grant Cameron tried to ask her about it. I don't think she talked. But Cameron did mention the story to a well known space expert James Oberg, who happened to be personal friends with Ms. Smith. Cameron relayed during a UFO convention speech, that later after telling James the Daniel Sheehan story, Oberg emailed him back again saying he'd talked to Marcia and asked if he had gotten a hold of her too ? Cameron replied no, and asked what she said? Oberg would not reveal her answer to the question, did you collaborate with Daniel Sheehan on a secret study of UFOs and Aliens for President Carter ?

Seems like an easy thing for Smith to deny if Sheehan is making it up. Of course I don't think he making it up. I think Smith knows she is under heavy security agreements and is afraid to confirm the story. If the media were not complicit in the cover-up, this information should be on 60 minutes, front cover of the NY Times etc..

This has always confused me, this "compartmentalised" theory of how these operations are run. The reason being that human beings can only work according to a certain structure when it comes to this sort of thing. There needs to be someone who is accountable, and someone who that person is accountable too. The buck needs to stop at some place, so who is the head honcho here ?

Are you saying that the highest ranking officer in Area 51 is actually prevented from entering into a certain area by privates guarding the door ? What of the lower ranking officers within the compartment ? Do they have any right over a higher ranking official who decides he wants to take a peek ?

What if they do have a right to prevent the higher officer, would it not be easy for him to blackmail them by threatening them with a court marshall ? Afterall - who will they believe more ? some lower rank officer or the highest ranking and most respected officer at the facility ?

This is why I dont buy into this compartment theory - the structure is completely unmanageable - you could NEVER run a business like that. At some point SOMEONE must know everything, if not higher ranking officials then the finance dept definately knows. Someone has to balance the figures and handle the books...
