These records were provided by the family of anthologist and transparency activist Russ Kick, from his papers, facilitated by the generous assistance of Dr. Susan Maret. This is not a complete collection set of his papers, but rather, a selection of items sent to The Black Vault for digital preservation. This study was conducted to determine if there are identifiable patterns or trends in incidents of serious Special Agent (SA) misconduct which, if discerned, might be of assistance in personnel selection and management. This report is also referred to as the FBI’s “Beta Report”. Document Archive Special Agent Personnel Incident Review,…

The Review is published by the Soviet Warsaw Pact Division, Directorate for Research, Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide the widest dissemination of material relating to the Soviet Ground Forces based upon information from the Soviet military press and DIA unclassified works. The Black Vault first filed for the below document in November of 2015, with the DIA. The request was given a “no records” response. A new request to DTIC was filed in 2016. That request was forwarded to the DIA, seemingly just in a full circle. At that time, The Black Vault was told the document was attached to…
https://youtu.be/CTrH0xq5m7U In this short episode, I breakdown a few documents likely related, describing UFO “material” years after the U.S. government / military’s investigation into UFOs known as Project Blue Book. The documents show that within the walls of the CIA, despite the U.S. government’s public stance, officials and personnel continued to watch UFO developments.

Here’s a breakdown, along with what happened when The Black Vault tried to get both documents further…

The project was run by the United States Government from 1962 to 1983.The hypothesis was that the silver iodide would cause supercooled water in the storm to freeze, disrupting the inner structure of the hurricane. This led to the seeding of several Atlantic hurricanes. However, it was later shown that this hypothesis was incorrect. In reality, it was determined most hurricanes do not contain enough supercooled water for cloud seeding to be effective. Additionally, researchers found that unseeded hurricanes often…

Well, when it comes to the last rendition of it anyway, the Department of Defense (DoD) does not want you to know much. In fact, they just denied key pages in understanding the office known as the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, or AOIMSG, along with redacting numerous other pages hiding crucial details of the effort. Although the office has since been restructured and renamed, in November of 2021, the Deputy Secretary of Defense announced the creation of the AOIMSG. “The presence of unidentified aerial phenomena…
