Wayward Sons Book Group, Chapter 6, Obstructing Clarity & Manufacturing UFO Reports

In this meeting of the Wayward Sons Book Group, attendees read and discuss the second half of Chapter 6 of WAYWARD SONS: NICAP AND THE IC. Writer and host Jack Brewer summarizes mid-20th century relationships between the CIA, the Economic Cooperation Administration, Counsel Services, and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. The group then further considers the roles of the Executive Committee, Nicolas de Rochefort, Thomas O'Keefe, and other key personnel in polishing and maintaining a public facing NICAP story. The work of James Carrion is discussed, as are specific examples of U.S. intelligence assets involved in dubious UFO reports, some of which are adjacent to Counsel Services and its client and career CIA officer, Col. Ulius Amoss.
