ÿ\RBBS\DL\MOONDUST.UFOThe following document recently appeared in JUST CAUSE, publication of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, and is reprinted in the latest MUFON Journal. It is extracted from Air Force Central Intelligence Office Letter AFCIN-1E-O, dated 3 November 1961, released thru FOIA on 10 August, 1979. Abbreviations: AFCIN = Air Force Central INtelligence; FTD = Foreign Technology Division, AFR = Air Force Regulation.______________________________________Extract, page 1: "c. In addition to their staff duty assignments, intelligence team personnel have peactime duty functions in support of such Air Force projects as Moondust, Bluefly, and UFO, and other AFCIN directed quic reaction projects which require intelligence team operational capabilities..."Extract, page 2: "f. Blue Fly: Operation Blue Fly has been established to facilitate expeditious delivery to FTD of Moon Dust or other items of great techical intelligence interest. AFCIN SOP for Blue Fly operations, February 1960, provides for 1127th participation. [Note: it is known that the 1127th Field Activities Group was assigned to Blue Book for collection and quick investigation of UFO sightings, replacing the 4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron -- JS] "g. Moon Dust: As a specialized aspect of its over-all material exploitation program, Headquarters USAF has established Project Moon Dust to locate, recover and deliver descended foreign space vehicles. ICGL #4, 25 April 1961, delineates collection responsibilities."Extract, page 3: "c. Peacetime employment of AFCIN intelligence team capability is provided for in UFO investigation (AFR 200-2) and in support of Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) Foreign Technology Division (FTD) Projects Moon Dust and Blue Fly. These three peacetime projects all involve a potential for employment of qualified field intelligence personnel on a quick reaction basis to recover or perform field exploitation of unidentified flying objects, or known Soviet/Bloc aerospace vehicles, weapons systems, and/or residual components of such equipment. The intelligence team capability to gain rapid access, regardless of location, to recover or perform field exploitation, to communicate and provide intelligence reports is the only such collection capability available to AFCIN and it is vitally necessary in view of current intelligence gaps concerning Soviet/Bloc tecnological capabilities."_____________________________Our thanks to Robert Todd, CAUS, and MUFON for this information.
