Forbidden Science Dispatches #7B
Cutting through the Secret Onion and Other Intel Games, Glomarization, Project Azorian, Project Serpo, and the Friendship of Jacques Vallée and Kit Green
Look in the Table of Discontents for other dispatches.
Christopher “Kit” Green is the prototypical mirage man. Despite his hefty CIA background, observers can always find him lurking at the fringes of ufology and other paranormal intrigues, leaving many to wonder whether he is engaging in spycraft. He is verifiably an intelligence asset, but pinpointing where belief ends and reconnaissance and counterintelligence work begins is a tricky endeavor. Previously, Getting Spooked looked in depth at his CIA career, where the physician was never too far removed from MKULTRA successor programs. He was actively involved in chemical and biological weapons in addition to lie detection and brain imaging—there were even allegations Green and the CIA funded a whitewash/debunking of cattle mutilations. Despite the paucity of tangible evidence, such a scenario would have clear benefits were chemical, biological, or non-lethal weapons being tested in the New Mexico desert. Vallée’s suspicions of this indicate that he had at least vague notions that Green might be doing some work for the Agency within the fringe community, a field already overflowing with bad info and untrustworthy actors. When considering Green as a possible disinformation agent, it is important to consider the fact that he had experience in CIA plots that did just that: Disinformation propagation. The CIA has previously done these operations with somewhat shocking success, including an ostensible craft recovery cloaked in so much noise and secrecy that it would make the average ufologist blush.
The Hughes Glomar Explorer was a remarkable “crash retrieval” of a very earthly kind: A CIA project aimed at lifting a sunken Soviet submarine out of the Pacific Ocean under the guise of innocuous deep-sea mining. With the assistance the “eccentric multimillionaire” Howard Hughes and his company Global Marine Development Inc.—the Agency saw them as sharing their own “passion for secrecy”—a massive project was undertaken to build an advanced ocean vessel with the ability to discreetly dredge up Soviet secrets.1 While the recovery mission was not a complete success, seeing a massive portion of the sub fall back into the ocean with valuable intelligence material on board, the endeavor was shockingly successful in other, arguably more devious, ways. The project was dubbed Azorian or Jennifer and the intelligence gathering task at hand was completely obscured by the mining cover story which, while designed to fool the Soviets, wound up fooling the American public. National security expert Jeffrey T. Richelson writes: “To those interested at all, the ship would be mining manganese nodules from the Pacific depths in a purely commercial enterprise.”2 Even long after the true nature of the Glomar Explorer was leaked to the media, direct confirmation could not be received from the CIA who resolved to “neither confirm nor deny” the existence of Project Azorian—the birth of the iconic “Glomar response” to FOIA requests. Further corroborating evidence of the submarine recovery has been released in the succeeding decades.
Regardless, the Glomar Expedition is exemplar of how, through deception and information control, the United States military can hide covert operations from the public at large. The plot thickens, however. In his CV, which outlines a long history of working for various arms of the Department of Defense inside and outside of the private sector, Kit Green claims to have worked on Project Azorian. While specifics are limited, the Glomar project is listed in a section covering his interest in naval research:
(Green) served as Chairman of the Ad Hoc Interagency Working Group on Soviet Submarine Drag Reduction Research and Development. Other interests in naval subjects have included his work on the Glomar Explorer project, diving physiology, and submarine life support system. He also served as the Senior Medical Intelligence Officer on collection programs involving naval surface and undersea platforms.3
Glomar only receives a passing mention, but his claim to have chaired a working group researching Soviet submarine dynamics and “collection programs” matches roles that would be needed in the monumental project. That Green was involved in such a massive CIA undertaking, clouded in so many layers of classification and secrecy, makes one wonder further about his activity in ufology. Researcher Jack Brewer keenly notes parallels between the Glomar Explorer and later UFO projects that could conceivably be shrouding ventures quite different from what appears on the label:
The intriguing (Glomar) story might be considered to carry implications to events surrounding the wealthy and controversial philanthropist Robert Bigelow, who has a more recent history of involvement in questionable projects with intelligence agency funding and personnel.4
Among those aforementioned intelligence personnel is, you guessed it, Kit Green, who worked with Bigelow’s National Institute for Discovery Science from 1995-1999 (and onward in a less official capacity).5 It has been speculated that, while most vocally conducting paranormal research, non-lethal weapons tests were part of the NIDS team’s docket of study.6 Green’s presence at the site does little to alleviate this possibility, as does the presence of Green’s colleague John B. Alexander, one of the biggest boosters of NLW within the military establishment. Armin Krishnan, a Security Studies professor, noted explicit similarities between Project Azorian and other possible cover stories much more familiar to those in the paranormal sphere:
The use of elaborate and highly public cover stories is not unusual in the intelligence world. For example, (…) Project Azorian (the secret salvaging of a Soviet submarine under the cover story of deep-sea mining), or the CIA using UFOs as a cover story for its secret aircraft operations in the 1950s.7
In addition to UFOs being utilized as an information warfare tool, Krishnan considers the possibility that remote viewing too was cloaking “very advanced biotelemetry technology that was being developed during this time period,” adding that Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ were both working on laser tech prior to the RV turn.8 “By claiming that they were using ESP a somewhat plausible explanation was provided as to how certain sensitive information was obtained,” Krishnan writes.9 That Kit Green was not only involved in the Glomar expedition, but also ufology and remote viewing groups is certainly cause for speculation about what parts of these ventures were on Company business, so to speak.
Vallée does write about Glomar in volume three of the journals, mentioning psychic Ingo Swann’s claim to initially “locating (…) the disabled” sub through remote viewing.10 More intriguingly, he considers the possibility that an intelligence community program for concealing UFO tech would operate similarly to Glomar. “The best way to camouflage” a UFO program, Vallée writes, “would be to put it within an Air Force space project that is already classified at a high level and has existed for some time, just like the Glomar Explorer was camouflaged within ocean mining and mineral exploration.”11 Yet, Kit Green never comes up as a participant in the project while it was ongoing nor after it was exposed to the public. It is interesting that Green was not forthcoming about a classified “crash retrieval” program he actually was involved—all amidst constant bandying about classified UFO programs throughout the 70s and 80s. Further, if his CV is accurate, he kept this classified information under wraps in Vallée’s presence for a long while despite their close friendship.
This would change in the 2000s, however, when Green talks more openly about his role in Project Azorian while both he and Vallée were involved with Robert Bigelow’s business ventures. The mention of Azorian is inevitably couched within a conversation where Green alleges being able to get security clearance for the Glomar project but not more secretive ET crash material.12 He speaks more candidly in 2004 when he and Vallée reflect on how large a list of individuals with clearances to view classified UFO documents could theoretically be. “Project Jennifer, the Glomar Explorer, had over 5,000 names,” Green says. “That doesn’t mean these folks knew what was going on; the levels were severely controlled. I was never cleared for it while at the Agency. (…) Typically, the integrating contractor is not the operating contractor.”13 While the compartmentalized nature of information within various secret defense projects makes every CIA employee unsure of the larger whole, does Green know more than he’s saying about the UFO issue or is he similarly being strung along by those higher than him?
Green specifically mentions how the figure who brought him onboard the Glomar project, Brigadier General Donald Flickinger, had viewed alien autopsy footage. Flickinger was a well-respected aviation surgeon who was assuredly involved in the Glomar expedition, locating divers and doctors for the program.14 Putting aside the possible reality of the autopsy footage and considering others: Was Flickinger leading Green on? Was Flickinger led on by someone himself? Was Green concocting the encounter to lead other UFO researchers on? That’s the beauty of intelligence compartmentalization—rumors and allegations can flow through the culture undisturbed, leading to misplaced trust or inaccurate views on the phenomena. At its core, it presents another key reason why Green should be met with some suspicion. We will return to volume five of the journals once I have reached it them my readthrough.
Complicating the matter further is the appearance of “Glomar” within Michael Shellenberger’s “Immaculate Constellation” documents, bundled with his testimony at November 2024 hearings before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. In Appendix C, a lengthy timeline of UFO history focusing on rumors of secret programs from a variety of sources, he includes an account of an alleged UFO in the Pacific which was subsequently “retrieved by a Glomar Explorer, shipped to Hawaii, and then sent Stateside and to Chicago.”15 While Shellenberger links off to paywalled article on Linda Moulton Howe’s Earth Files, (wonderful that you can cite things like that in congressional hearings now,) the anonymous story comes originally from the work of UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield. In UFO Crash Retrievals: Status Report III, where the testimony originally appeared, it is made clear that the witness was a gunnery instructor at the Great Lakes Naval Base who “was being groomed (…) for Intelligence School”—whatever that could mean.16 Even Stringfield admits that becoming involved in Naval intelligence could indicate that what the soldier witnessed was conceivably an infosec test, one promptly failed after leaking the details. While lacking windows and being an odd teardrop shape, the author nevertheless comments that the craft “seems to be a military device, perhaps one of U.S. manufacture or by some foreign power.”17 Yet another unsubstantiated rumor of a crashed craft to add to the pile.
However, the mention of a Glomar ship in the context of a UFO recovery effort leads to provocative possibilities: Stringfield’s interest in crash retrievals and extraterrestrial bodies was humored by none other than Kit Green, who closely followed the UFO researcher’s claims to having verifiable photos of ET bodies and a contact who had performed an autopsy. When asked by Vallée where his interest in “rumors of alien bodies” came from, Green specifically replied: “It goes back to the seventies (…) when the first alleged autopsy pictures came out, all that stuff by Len Stringfield.”18
Indeed, Vallée mentions the attention given to Stringfield by Green at several points in his diary entries, where Green again oscillates between interest and dismissal. When fellow researcher Richard Niemtzow talks of being “in touch with Leonard Stringfield” driven on by promises of meeting an alien autopsy physician, he contacted Kit Green to relay the scoop. According to Vallée: “(Green) got angry at what he saw as (Niemtzow’s) naïve acceptance of the claims: ‘Tell Stringfield to drop the whole thing!’ Kit told Richard. When Stringfield lost his job shortly afterwards, Richard’s curiosity was further excited.”19 Despite this strong reaction—even the implication that Green got Stringfield fired from his day job—in a few years’ time, Green seems to believe some of what Stringfield had found. He tells Vallée:
It turns out the doctor in question exists; indeed he was hired by the Government for consulting work, but he never did any autopsy. He only reviewed some alleged results consistent with reports dating back to Leonard Stringfield, stating that the Aliens have two floating ribs in their chest. He’s a thoracic surgeon, with all the right clearances. He spent a month somewhere on a highly classified project.20
This oscillation is akin to Vallée’s recollections of discussing cattle mutilations with Green, going quickly from interest to disregard—it gives one the impression of games being played. Games that become more intriguing when reflecting upon Green being “in close contact with most of the UFO groups” throughout the 70s and 80s, assuredly going further into the future.21
The previously mentioned Richard Niemtzow is yet another figure who seems to become drawn into mysterious nonsense through Green. He was an Air Force colonel trained in radiation oncology who turned his attention to ufology—in particular UFO injury reports—in the period that spans journal volumes two and three. Niemtzow was also in regular contact with Vallée and Green, where he offers some insight into Green’s operating procedure within ufology. “Make no mistake about it, Kit has been studying this subject deeply, in an official capacity,” Niemtzow tells Vallée in 1988.22 He continues:
In the seventies, when McDonnell-Douglas had a secret study of UFOs under way, who do you think was showing up regularly from Washington to monitor their progress? It was Kit, sent by CIA on official business. He came over whenever one of their aircraft had a sighting. (…) I found that communication with him was always a one-way street.23
Rather than a collaborative colleague, there are moments where Green seems to be taking in all the information he can while offering little in return. Vallée speaks often of giving him his best data, whether it be cattle mutilations or UFO sightings, only to be quickly rebuffed by Green—seemingly enticing him to provide him with more data or intel. This possibility recontextualizes moments in the journals, such as when Vallée finds “theoretical papers” sent to Green have “disappeared from his home study” or other times where Vallée catches him in slight mistruths.24 Was Green simply using Vallée as an information source, relying on the impenetrable wilderness of mirrors that UFO rumors can construct as cover?
Niemtzow too found himself in the middle of further spooky intrigues he recounts to Vallée, again with Green unsurprisingly in the mix. The CIA man had, after all, gotten Niemtzow his job at the Air Force, according to the journals.25 Searching for further evidence of an alleged alien autopsy, Niemtzow works with a woman named Valerie Ransone (put a pen in that name for now) who introduced him to Green—supposedly Green was her “medical handler.”26 It goes without saying that there is a complex and robust information network at play here, with Green often at the top of the chain.
Ransone at one point invited Niemtzow and fellow UFO researcher John Schuessler to a meeting ostensibly about UFOs, but when they arrive at the offices for her “private investigation service” they are instead met by “a dozen people working behind desks which were so neat and devoid of paperwork as to seem unnatural.”27 The two began to feel that were being “recruited” and concluded “the whole thing was a setup.”28 Ransone was supposedly found out to be “an agent for the NRO, working with the Navy,” but when Niemtzow revealed to Green that he knew this information “he practically choked on his food” and demanded that Niemtzow “not (…) mention her again.”29
Noting that Green was strangely said to be her “handler” and acted as though he had been caught out when her employer was discovered, it seems as though he was an active orchestrator of the whole ordeal—maybe some interagency intel project or disinformation campaign. Of note is that Schuessler and Niemtzow were researching UFO injuries, a subject that would be good to obfuscate if some secret tech was involved. Green too would later be more directly involved in UFO injury studies himself.30 Later, when the duo is warned “against CIA recruitment” by a McDonnell Douglass higher-up in their further research, one wonders if they aren’t already in the thick of it. “Once you are in their clutches (…) you can forget about the rest of your life as a human being.”31
True to his shadowy presence throughout the UFO timeline and Vallée’s Forbidden Science journals, Green is also said to be involved in “Secret Onion”—a project led by the likes of Hal Puthoff and John Alexander that sought to create a cross-disciplinary, multi-agency investigative group for the UFO issue and other paranormal or speculative topics. Though the group seemed to be largely ineffective, it has since been mythologized in Howard Blum’s factually fluid Out There32, where it is called the UFO Working Group, and further in broader UFO lore, where it is often associated with the notorious Aviary and MJ-12 fiasco.33 The specifics are complex, contradictory, and likely intentionally obtuse. The important facts for the purposes of this exploration are: 1) Kit Green was an actively involved member of the group and, 2) The organization played no small part in flinging ufology into an endless hall of mirrors. More obfuscation was accomplished than any substantive UFO research, with the most notable result being endless quibbling about secret programs, crash retrievals, and recovered ET bodies among those interested in the subject matter.
The “Secret Onion” group was not too far removed from another active disinformation campaign—Richard Doty, Bill Moore, and AFOSI’s targeted seeding of the UFO community with false allegations of alien activity on Earth and the targeting of New Mexico businessman Paul Bennewitz. This series of incidents has been explored in numerous previous articles because of the relevancy the Bennewitz affair has to countless other cases within ufology—specifically instances where a military disinformation campaign cloaking other activity is a possibility. Yet, at the same time, Bennewitz is only a small nodule in the broader lore—a vast, contradictory set of rumors, allegations, and implications that create a large, unwieldy whole. Much of what exists in the current ufological narrative was present in the Bennewitz case and its elements existed years beforehand. Underground bases, secret government groups, crash retrievals, cattle mutilations, and the like all make an appearance within this wider story, effectively making the source of each individual rumor harder to pin down. At the very least, Bennewitz and the sprouting of disinfo seeded to him makes clear the utility of the UFO community to intelligence agencies wanting to conduct information warfare. The Secret Onion group and its members are frequently lumped into Majestic 12, the mythical group that appears on leaked documents—most fake, others repackaged from different programs to be made noteworthy to ufologists. But aside from some curious incidental overlap, the Aviary, Secret Onion, the UFO Working group—whatever you want to call it—mostly attempted to keep themselves separate from the AFOSI disinformation campaign.
However, those curious overlaps are nevertheless peculiar, indicating that the group was monitoring the developments of AFOSI’s handiwork and played no small part in lending it credibility. Mark Pilkington’s excellent book Mirage Men examines the MJ-12 fiasco and other possible disinformation campaigns similar to it. Within this book, it is noted the Bennewitz was likely first identified as a target from his work with APRO, Gabe Valdez, and cattle mutilations—the exact timeframe where Kit Green was closely keeping tabs on the cattle mute situation.34 While the Secret Onion group largely kept their distance from Doty and Moore’s operation, Vallée writes that sometime between 1986 and 1988, “Hal Puthoff and Kit Green met at the home of retired Air force Lt-Col. Ernie Kellerstrass with Doty, Dale Graf (sic), Scott Jones, John Alexander and Robert Collins”—a substantial portion of these men being involved in the UFO Working Group.35 Vallée’s source for this claim is a blog post from researcher Ryan Dube of the now defunct Reality Uncovered. Through the Wayback Machine, the article can still be found, which gives further information about a follow-up meeting in 1989 between “Hal Puthoff, Kit Green, Rick Doty, Bill (Moore), (…) Jaime (Shandera,) and (Robert) Collins” at a New Mexico hotel.36 Collins, in a book co-authored with Rick Doty, recalled that “Kit Green took center stage” at this meeting “by proposing several lines of attack involving disclosure strategies.”37 While the source of these statements is obviously untrustworthy, Hal Puthoff confirmed that many of these recollections are at least partially true:
We were meeting these people with the purpose of hearing firsthand what was being claimed by the likes of Collins, Doty and Kellerstrass but the meetings had nothing to do with Dube’s claim of promoting Disclosure. Overall, I was quite skeptical of much of what was being claimed.38
Putting aside the fact that Dube is not making the claims, Robert Collins is, this admission from Puthoff indicates that he and Green are willing to engage with active disinformation campaigns, whether skeptical of them or not. Doty even claimed to be employed by Puthoff from 1994-2004, a claim that Puthoff did not deny but confirmed: Doty had worked for the fringe physicist’s Earthtech for a decade.39 “There was a period where we were investigating all aspects of the phenomenon,” Puthoff elaborated. “Richard Doty was a contractor for us, as were many other people. Some of his data could be verified, some could not. I happened to like him as an individual.”40
Indeed, the duo of Puthoff and Green interacted with Rick Doty with shocking regularity, even in the years after the scope of the Bennewitz affair had come to light. While not outright complicity, it nevertheless brings to the forefront the possibility that they were tracking how this disinfo spread and were monitoring its progression throughout the UFO community. At the very least, it brings Green and company much closer to the MJ-12 hoax than they are often credited for.
Green himself, apparently not satisfied with giving Doty a modicum of credibility just once, reappeared in Mark Pilkington’s 2010 book Mirage Men to tell the author that Doty’s second most public disinfo push had at least some veracity. Christened Project Serpo, this ARG-like hoax (with substantial similarities to the more modern QAnon phenomenon) was even less believable than the information pushed to Bennewitz, involving a secret interstellar exchange program between the U.S. military and ETs. Written like bottom of the barrel pulp science fiction, Serpo was a collection of material describing encounters with a race of beings from Zeta Reticuli and follows American astronauts who visited their home planet of Serpo. Pilkington writes of Green’s thoughts on the matter:
The Serpo material, or at least some of it, Kit suggested, might have served a purpose to someone, somewhere, perhaps conveying information in heavily codified form. One of the ways you can assess the value of information is to watch who is drawn to it, and Serpo had caught the attention of some senior players in the defence intelligence field—perhaps some of the most senior players.41
Despite all common sense, Green advocated for Doty’s peculiar mix of total baloney and information warfare once again. Remarkably, his wording in describing Serpo may be indicative of how Secret Onion viewed MJ-12: Let the information spread and see who picks it up. Further than this, however, Pilkington notes, “Kit is (…) a close and long-standing friend of (…) Doty, who he talked about with unguarded warmth and respect,” nevertheless being “forced to admit that sometimes Rick’s actions could be both puzzling and frustrating.”42 It was through UFO message boards and mailing lists that Serpo was first disseminated and, Ryan Dube notes, Green and Puthoff were “individuals privately and very actively involved with the people (…) who were distributing the information to the public via an email list and a website.”43 Again we find Green playing some opaque information game within ufology, utilizing a prior extreme disinfo agent who he considered a close friend.
In Doty and Robert Collins’ book, Exempt from Disclosure, it is alleged that Green was told by former CIA director Richard Helms to “always believe what Richard Doty tells (him) about UFOs.”44 While I struggle to accept that this statement is literally true, I have not found any evidence to suggest that Green has refuted his apparent colleague’s claim. A more realistic reading of this supposed advice from Helms is that Green was working on Company orders within ufology, slyly listening to the tales perpetuated not only by Doty, but many others in hopes of weaponizing the UFO community against itself, utilizing it as a vehicle for intel laundering, or—as in the case of Bennewitz specifically—concealing military activity. While there is little doubt that Green maintains an interest and even belief in some aspects of UFO lore, at the end of the day one must remember the old axiom: You never truly leave the CIA.
With a career dotted by secretive intelligence activity and the cloak and dagger of his personal interests, the question remains: What is one to make of Kit Green? This lengthy, two-part article has looked at his involvement in likely MKULTRA successor programs, polygraph studies, brain imaging, chemical and biological warfare, and even a top-secret CIA reconnaissance mission. While ufology might be an afterthought compared to the rest of his resume, his omnipresence in the field begs the question of whether he was engaged in counterintelligence or other forms of intel gathering. The consistent trend for overlap in his public and private work is further reason to be cautious—and it’s private work that isn’t even all that private to begin with, indicating that at some level he wants his presence within ufology known, his input to have more weight. Pilkington too witnessed the full range of Green’s seemingly “hypnotizing” routine—a dangerous quality for a Company man to have. Much as in the case of Vallée, Green oscillated between measured skepticism and far-out insinuations, a “quietly sensible shock and awe” campaign.45 After so many years working on the UFO issue together, I wonder if Vallée was subjected to some form of this approach throughout their friendship, all for the many intel games being played throughout the history of ufology. Perhaps Green was an excitable pawn in the same game, but suspicion of his being a more key player is warranted.
I am reminded of Vallée’s appearance in D.W. Pasulka’s Encounters which I reviewed in depth last year. After being asked if he would like to meet one of Pasulka’s experiencer subjects—in particular, a member of the intelligence community—Vallée declines. He remarks: “People in intelligence communities are generally very charming. They meet you. Then they meet your friends. Then they meet your family and they become friendly with your children.”46 At the time of reading, I gave the passage little thought. It goes without saying that one should be wary of becoming too intimately connected with intelligence personnel. After reading through volumes one through three of Vallée’s journals and select passages in the follow-ups, all coupled with further background material, I am left wondering if he was thinking of Kit Green—offering a warning that his younger self did not follow. It is a possibility, certainly, but there is no shortage of IC personnel in the life of Jacques Vallée.
