The precept of May 22, 1949, signed by Rear Admiral M. D. Willcutts, Medical Officer in Command of the National Naval Medical Center, named Captain [[A. A. Marsteller]] (typed in the precept as Aolpfar A. Marsteller), Medical Corps (retired, on active duty), as senior member, Captains [[Vincent Hernandez]] and [[Harold J. Cokely]], Commander [[William W. Ayres]] and Lieutenant Commander [[James D. Wharton]] as members and Lieutenant [[Robert F. Hooper]] as recorder. The board met on Monday, May 23 at 11:45 a.m. with closed doors, examined the body at the morgue, viewed rooms 1618 and 1620 (the room and the diet kitchen on the sixteenth floor of the tower) and the roof where the body landed, and took testimony beginning May 24.[^2] Aviation photographer's mate first class Harley F. Cope Jr. of the Naval Medical School testified to taking ten photographs of the body, exhibits 1A through 1J, between three and three-fifteen, of "somebody who had fallen from the sixteenth floor to the outside of the third deck." Hospital corpsman chief John Edward McClain, an instructor in medical photography, testified to eleven photographs of the room, the diet kitchen and the outside of the building, exhibits 2A through 2K. He described the fifth as "a rug with some broken glass on it, taken approximately two feet from the end of the bed" in room 1618, adding that the bed could not be photographed "because the glass wouldn't show"; he said that the window screen opened only to a limited distance, that one picture was taken standing on a chair in the diet kitchen with a man pushing the screen back "for finger prints," and that the body landed on a roof "like in proportion to the second floor" below a ledge of the third floor. The board's record notes that the body landed "on the roof of the second deck, on a level with the third deck, striking first a ledge of the fourth deck."[^2]
The record's index lists the later witnesses, with transcript pages: Captain Raines (pp. 5 to 14 and 56 to 60), Commander John Nardini (14 to 18), Commander David Hightower (18 to 23), Commander Robert Reynolds Deen (23 to 28), Captain Stephen Smith (29 to 33), hospitalman second class William Eliades (34 to 36), Lieutenant (junior grade) Willie Ray Barnett of the Medical Service Corps (36 and 37), hospitalman chief John Lawrence Mego (37 and 38), Rear Admiral Leslie Stone (38 and 39), Captain Bartholomew W. Hogan (39), Lieutenant (junior grade) Francis Whitney Westneat (40 and 41), junior hospital apprentice Robert Wayne Harrison (43 to 46) and hospital apprentice Edward William Price (47 and 48), with further nurse, apprentice and officer witnesses to p. 55. The file read ends at transcript p. 29, the first page of Smith's testimony, so the testimony of the corpsmen at pp. 34 to 48, including Harrison and Price, is not in it; the passage Hugh Turley quoted below could not be checked against the page.[^2]

Commander Hightower, testified (pp. 19 to 21 of the record) that on Friday night, May 20, he checked with the corpsman at about nine o'clock and was told Forrestal was sleeping, that Forrestal slept through that night without medication, and that on Saturday morning he visited with a friend from New York, a "Mister Strieffler," whom Raines had said on Thursday night would visit.[^2]

On June 27, 1972, Puthoff wrote to Green at the CIA outlining remote viewing as a legitimate area for scientific investigation, proposing formal experiments at SRI to assess whether the phenomena could be reproduced under controlled conditions. This letter - subsequently released under [[Freedom of Information Act|FOIA]] and housed in the [[CIA Reading Room]] - established the institutional relationship between SRI and the CIA's scientific analysis staff that would persist for more than two decades.[^1]

This letter, subsequently released under [[Freedom of Information Act|FOIA]] and housed in the [[CIA Reading Room]], established the institutional relationship between SRI and the CIA's scientific analysis staff that would persist for more than two decades.[^1]
Green served as the primary CIA officer receiving and evaluating SRI's experimental results during the early years of the program, which was organized under various code names before being consolidated as the [[Stargate Project|STAR GATE]] program. In this capacity he reviewed classified experimental data, participated in briefings, and maintained the agency's formal interest in the research while keeping it within the Life Sciences Division's medical and scientific framework rather than the operational framework of the [[Directorate of Operations]].[^2]
[[Jim Schnabel]] gave Green the pseudonym "Richard Kennett" in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997).[^11] In that account Kennett was an analyst in the Office of Scientific Intelligence, in his early thirties, married with two young sons, holding a Ph.D. in neurophysiology and pursuing an M.D.; religion and mysticism "in particular fascinated him," and he spent part of his agency time monitoring the fringes of medicine and psychology. Schnabel placed him as slated to become assistant national intelligence officer for chemical and biological warfare issues. Kennett monitored the work at SRI and later at [[Fort Meade]], tasked viewers against intelligence problems and evaluated their results. Schnabel also recorded Kennett's own anomalous experiences: a precognitive episode connected to [[Uri Geller]] involving a shattered glass globe and a white bulldog, and an encounter with a one-armed man in a gray suit.[^12]
### Uri Geller and the SRI Experiments
Green served as the CIA's primary handler and scientific overseer during [[Uri Geller]]'s testing at SRI in 1972-1973. Geller, an [[Israel|Israeli]] entertainer claiming psychokinetic and clairvoyant abilities, underwent a series of formal laboratory tests under the direction of Puthoff and [[Russell Targ]]. Green was responsible for reviewing the experimental protocols, receiving the results, and assessing their implications for the agency. He administered or oversaw medical evaluations of Geller, including neurological and psychological assessments designed to identify physiological correlates of the claimed abilities.[^2]

### Sugar Grove and Sensitive Facility Remote Viewing
Green was the CIA officer informed of and involved in evaluating the [[Sugar Grove, West Virginia|Sugar Grove]] incident, in which [[Pat Price]] and [[Ingo Swann]] were provided geographic coordinates corresponding to a classified [[NSA]] signals intelligence facility at Sugar Grove, [[West Virginia]], and independently produced detailed descriptions of the installation. The accuracy of the descriptions - which included internal organizational details not publicly available - created significant concern within the NSA about whether the remote viewing program represented a security vulnerability for highly classified facilities. Green managed the CIA's response to NSA's concerns about the implications of the result.[^2]

Green managed the CIA's response to NSA's concerns about the implications of the result.[^2] In Schnabel's version, Puthoff contacted Kennett in May 1973 about Swann's coordinate scheme; doubtful of it, Kennett asked for a target unknown even to himself and obtained coordinates from the CIA officer [[Bill O'Donnell]], meant to locate O'Donnell's summer cabin. The descriptions matched the nearby NSA station instead, and a security investigation followed.[^12]

### Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Investigation
After several scientists at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] reported unusual perceptual experiences following their involvement with Geller and the broader SRI program, Green investigated the reports. His conclusion was that the experiences were most likely the result of a sophisticated psychological operation directed at the scientists - possibly by a foreign intelligence service or a domestic entity with access to the scientists' vulnerabilities - rather than genuine paranormal phenomena. The investigation was not publicly disclosed during Green's CIA tenure.[^2]

The investigation was not publicly disclosed during Green's CIA tenure.[^2]
Two accounts of the episode exist. Annie Jacobsen placed it in the winter of 1975, during sanctioned classified tests of Geller held in a former World War II barracks with an [[Atomic Energy Commission]] security officer present; after the second day [[Ron Robertson]] telephoned Green, reporting objects flying across rooms, flashing lights and a six-inch ball of light rolling down a hallway, and Green first suspected hallucination.[^2] Schnabel placed it in late 1974, after unofficial off-hours tests of Geller by a Livermore group that included Robertson; members saw monochrome flying saucers and fantastic animals in their homes and laboratories, an audiotape played back a metallic voice pronouncing the code name of a classified project unknown to the group, and the physicist he called [[Peter Crane]] telephoned Kennett. Kennett met the group, including the physicist he called [[Mike Russo]], and after [[Don Curtis]] and his wife saw a hovering one-armed man in a gray suit with a hook for a hand, demanded a meeting with Puthoff and [[Russell Targ]]. The apparitions ended after the group stopped its work with Geller.[^12]
### Post-CIA Career
Following his departure from CIA, Green continued academic and research work in neurophysiology and forensic medicine. He was associated with [[Wayne State University School of Medicine]], where he worked in forensic pathology and neurological research.[^2]
Green contributed as a consultant and scientific advisor to the [[Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program]] (AATIP), the Pentagon's UAP research program that operated from approximately 2007 to 2012 under the direction of [[Luis Elizondo]]. His contribution included review of reported physical and physiological effects on individuals claiming proximity to anomalous aerial phenomena. He published research examining injuries reported by people claiming UAP encounters - a category he termed "exotic wounds" - applying forensic neurological analysis to the reported symptom patterns. This work represented the extension of his long-standing interest in the medical and physiological dimensions of anomalous phenomena from the SRI era into the post-AATIP period.[^3]

Vallee wrote in May 1986 that he intended to present "strong comments about the Secret Onion project" to Green; Vallee's name for the project is the [[Advanced Theoretical Physics Working Group]] of [[John B. Alexander]]. According to the [[Loose Threads Report|Loose Threads]] authors, Puthoff said Green received an invitation to the group's meetings but did not attend, and Green told Vallee in 1989 that he was reluctant to take part unless the initiative had an official funding stream. In an entry of August 1990 Vallee recorded Green as dismissing [[Howard Blum]]'s 1987 account of a secret UFO group as an allusion to the proposal of Alexander and [[Ron Blackburn]] that "went nowhere," adding that he had gone to see [[Jack Vorona]], who "told me, 'They never let me in on it!'" In February 1990 Vallee wrote that Blackburn "had co-organized a national panel on UFOs" with Green, "who never told me about this." Green's 2007 curriculum vitae, as quoted by the authors of the Loose Threads Report, lists him as chairman of an "Independent Science Panel, Office of the Undersecretary, Operations Research, DO Army (1989 to present)" and as a member of the [[National Research Council]] Committee on Biotechnology in the Year 2020 from 1989 to 1992.[^6]

The person who supplied the transcript to the White House called it "purported."[^7] In a letter of March 29, 1997 [[Richard Farley|C.

Peter Crane was a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL). In late 1974, concerned about the potential security threat posed by psychic abilities, Crane, along with security officer [[Ron Robertson]] and others, began conducting their own experiments with [[Uri Geller]] outside of work hours.[^1]
Peter Crane is the pseudonym [[Jim Schnabel]] gave a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL) in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997).[^2] In Schnabel's account, in late 1974, concerned about the potential security threat posed by psychic abilities, Crane, along with security officer [[Ron Robertson]] and others, began conducting their own experiments with [[Uri Geller]] outside of work hours.[^1]
Crane and his group tested Geller's psychokinetic abilities, including metal-bending and attempts to deflect laser beams. While their tests concluded that Geller's abilities were not effective over long distances, Crane was one of the Livermore personnel who experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with Geller. These included visions of hovering, monochrome flying saucers and strange animals.[^1]
Overwhelmed by these experiences, Crane contacted [[Richard Kennett]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] for help. Kennett investigated the situation, which included a strange metallic voice on an audiotape that pronounced the code name of a highly classified government project unknown to Crane or his colleagues. The apparitions eventually ceased after the Livermore group stopped their research activities with Geller.[^1]

In a chapter of *[[Exempt from Disclosure]]* credited to him and headed as "taken from a set of four interviews done by Bill Moore and Jaime Shandera in the 1980s and later updated," Doty stated that he was born February 15, 1950 in New York State and "retired from the United States Air Force in November 1988 as a Master Sergeant" (the personnel record on this page gives September 30, 1988); that in July 1969 at a top secret facility 15 miles southeast of [[Indian Springs|Indian Springs Air Force Base]], where he was a security policeman, a civilian who gave his name as Mr. Blake spoke to him after a saucer-shaped object was towed from a hangar and said "someday you'll know the true story about that object"; that after arriving at AFOSI District 17 at Kirtland in May 1979 he was briefed in his first year into three special programs, the second on collecting information about UFOs, the briefing for which Mr. Blake attended, and the third on safeguarding Air Force technology by methods that included "disinformation"; that a UFO incident at Ellsworth Air Force Base "turned out to be a hoax and the sergeant involved in faking the DD 1569 was punished and dismissed from the Air Force"; that he read an official document that "mentioned a 'Project Aquarius,' which contained 16 volumes of information"; and that [[Kit Green]] related that [[Richard Helms]] told him "Always believe what Richard Doty tells you about UFOs."[^23] In a statement of February 21, 2005 quoted in the same book Doty said Moore "had several sources within the U.S. Government," that he met Moore "with an NSA investigator" on one occasion, and that "during the Bennewitz affair, I met Moore with FBI agents."[^23]

He was also quoted: "I'm supporting the prosperity of the United States and the science I'm pursuing, and I'm not doing it on behalf of a political agenda."[^16] The Sol Foundation described the council in a June 22, 2026 release as announced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence "with the support of the FBI"; Loeb wrote on June 16, 2026 that "I was tasked by the White House, the Pentagon's All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and the Intelligence Community, to assemble" it.[^17] [[Charles Alcock]], director of the Center for Astrophysics, was listed on the Galileo Project's Scientific Advisory Board.[^18] A draft paper dated March 7, 2023, "Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," listed [[Sean Kirkpatrick]] as director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office and Loeb as head of the Galileo Project.[^19]

The documents in the library date the chain as follows. On May 23, 2017 (EFTA01047005) Masha Drokova told Epstein that Futurism, which she described as media "in the intersection of science and futurism," was run by a founder whose LinkedIn page she linked (Klokus). On September 18, 2017 an in-person "Interview w/Futurism Editor, Alex Klokus" appears on Epstein's schedule at 1:30 p.m., prepared by his assistant [[Lesley Groff]] (EFTA02223354 and others). On October 2, 2017 (EFTA00999952) Drokova forwarded to Epstein a note from Klokus: "I was sitting with Bryan Johnson today, who was telling me about everything he's working on at Kernel ... Bryan is building a neural implant that is intended to enhance cognition." Epstein answered "always interested." At 8:39 p.m. that evening, Klokus wrote to Johnson and Drokova, in a message quoted in EFTA02227011: "Bryan is building Kernel, and today I spoke with Masha about the potential value of him and Jeffrey chatting." On October 3 Johnson wrote that he was "in town until Wednesday afternoon and have a really tight schedule but would like to meet up with Jeffery if possible" (EFTA02227025); Epstein wrote that he was "in florida until friday" (EFTA01000443), and a message signed "Lesley" asked whether a call could be coordinated instead (EFTA02225373). Groff and Kernel's executive assistant arranged a video call for Friday, October 6, 2017; Epstein told Groff to "move barry abd sarah to 4 can we do bryan at 5 instead" (EFTA00460518), Groff's schedule for the day listed "5:00pm ZOOM Interview w/Bryan Johnson and possibly Masha" (EFTA00460043), Epstein chose "zoom" over a regular call (EFTA02225564, invitation "Sync: Bryan/Jeffrey/Masha," host kernel-hi.zoom.us), and Groff asked Johnson to delay it to 5:15 p.m. because Epstein was running late (EFTA02226959). A message from Drokova quoted in EFTA02226363 reads: "I managed to free up earlier and join Jeffrey and Bryan too." No document read records that the call took place or what was said; the schedule moved it from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and then to 5:15 p.m., and Drokova's 5:14 p.m. message says she had freed up time to join. The September 18, 2017 meeting with Klokus is likewise recorded only as a scheduled entry.[^3]
Later items in the same files: a July 20, 2018 message from a "Bryan Johnson" with the subject "Becoming a zero detective" (EFTA02294943, body not present in the release page read), and the October 26, 2018 mass mailing from a Kernel address addressed to Groff (EFTA00484119). No payment, investment, in-person meeting or later exchange between Epstein and Johnson, Kernel or OS Fund appears in the documents read.[^10][^3]

McDonald died on June 13, 1971, at the age of 51, according to the American Meteorological Society and Physics Today.[^2][^5] Battan wrote that his UFO investigation "brought him into conflict with certain scientists and engineers," that "he found few allies in this scientific quest," and that he "was a man of integrity and great courage."[^2] Neither obituary states a cause of death.
The Tucson Daily Citizen of Monday, June 14, 1971 reported under the headline "UA Physicist Found Dead In Desert" that McDonald, 51, was found dead on Sunday, June 13, in a desert area north of [[Tucson]], and that the death was "apparently a suicide, according to sheriff's deputies." According to the paper, an autopsy had been performed and no report was immediately available. It quoted Sheriff Waldon V. Burr as saying a note and a .38 revolver were found beside the body and that there was a bullet wound in the head. The paper reported that Frank Flores, of 127 E. Lee Street, said he and his children were hiking about noon on Sunday when they found the body at Canyon del Oro near Ina Road and Interstate 10, and that McDonald reportedly took a cab from a downtown motel to the area. It gave his address as 3461 E. 3rd Street, and stated that he was blinded when he shot himself in the head on April 9, according to police reports, and had begun going to his office for several hours a day only the previous week. University of Arizona president [[Richard A. Harvill]] was quoted as calling him an "exceptionally able teacher" and "well-known throughout the United States as a brilliant scholar," and Louis J. Battan, associate director of the Institute, credited him with contributions to cloud physics and weather modification research. The article also summarized his Condon Report opposition and his SST campaign, and described him as a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a statement the 1968 hearing biography does not support.[^8]

Moore said that after the broadcast of UFO Cover-Up Live "the FBI showed up and began asking questions about it," arranged a private showing in the office of the producer [[Michael Seligman]], and interviewed ufologists on both coasts including Shandera, while avoiding him; and that a [[Freedom of Information Act]] response of July 1988 admitted that the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] held nearly sixty pages of material on him, all classified for reasons of national security. Of the program he said: "I'm convinced that at least some of that information falls under the category of disinformation. I'm equally convinced that some of it is true," and that the sources knew they would be identified on the show as confidential government informants.[^2]
Moore's closing positions, as spoken, were that a highly advanced extraterrestrial civilization is visiting Earth and "actively manipulating our awareness of their presence"; that elements of at least two government intelligence agencies know this and run classified projects; that counterintelligence personnel have conducted "an on-again off-again campaign of deception and disinformation about the UFO phenomenon for more than 40 years," including phony documents and informants, for five possible reasons, among them use of the phenomenon by "trilateralists" seeking world unity against an unknown threat from space; that a group designated MJ-12 operates at the [[White House]] [[National Security Council]] level; that there was a Project Aquarius, "possibly two of them," one in 1971 to 1973 and one in 1976 to 1985, with contract and report numbers obtained; that the Cutler-Twining memorandum was, in his view, "reasonable certainty" authentic and had been planted among the papers of Record Group 341 for them to find; that there was "no compelling reason to believe" the [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] briefing document was other than authentic, though its authenticity was not proved; and that "our group is euphemistically called the aviary and each individual uses a code name of a bird." He closed that there is "an extraterrestrial presence here on planet Earth" and that a small number of government people know it. Pilkington called the closing section Moore's "Estimate of the Situation."[^2][^8] The UFO BBS text, citing a printed Moore text of 1989 that was not obtained, adds that Moore named as subjects of intelligence interest between 1980 and 1984 [[Len Stringfield]], [[Pete Mazzola]], Gersten, [[Larry Fawcett]], James and Coral Lorenzen, and [[Larry W. Bryant]], and said four other prominent ufologists had been doing "the same thing," two of them still active.[^4]

Citizens Against UFO Secrecy devoted most of its September 1989 *[[Just Cause]]* to the speech.

[[Bill O'Donnell]] was a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] officer. In May 1973, he inadvertently provided the coordinates for a secret [[NSA]] facility near Sugar Grove, [[West Virginia]], to [[Kit Green]]. Green had asked O'Donnell for coordinates of a place on the East Coast that, if a drawing or photograph were shown later, O'Donnell would be able to confirm.

This incident, where [[Ingo Swann]] and [[Pat Price]] accurately described the NSA facility despite being given coordinates for O'Donnell's cabin, became known as the Sugar Grove incident. It led to a hostile security investigation, as the psychics' remote viewing data was accurate enough to suggest a massive leakage of top-secret information. O'Donnell initially dismissed the psychics' descriptions as "bullshit" because they didn't match his cabin, but later realized the true implications when Kennett discovered the secret military installation nearby.[^1]

Tyler took Pasulka to a purported crash site in the New Mexico desert in the company of a second figure she called "James Master," who had analyzed an alleged artifact for a documentary and said two men in suits afterward asked him what he had really found.[^3]

As a monitor in remote viewing sessions, Targ would prompt psychics with questions and record their impressions. He was involved in the testing of Uri Geller, and while often suspecting sleight of hand due to Geller's hyperkinetic style, he was also impressed by Geller's genuine abilities. He and Puthoff would sometimes search the laboratory rafters and acoustic tiles for hidden audio or video bugs after Geller's sessions, though they never found anything.[^1]
Despite the personality conflicts and the controversial nature of the research, Targ was a key figure in the remote viewing program. He was the co-author, with Hal Puthoff, of a number of influential papers on remote viewing, including a 1974 article in *Nature* and a 1976 article in the *Proceedings of the IEEE*. He eventually became convinced of the reality of remote viewing, even conducting his own informal experiments. He was present during many of Price's most impressive remote viewing feats, including the glider experiment where Price accurately perceived the numbers Kennett was carrying and the "ankh" around his neck, and the precognitive viewing of the Redwood City Marina and the Rinconada Park water tanks.[^1]
