Joe,

PSY-OPS are normally used outside of normal authorities.

Pardon my brief definition to insure we are on the same sheet.
Disinformation, propaganda, and other similar strategies are
termed PSY-OPS by the military.

PSY-OPS use deception and other means to influence an audience's
values, belief systems, emotions, reasoning, and behavior. I
will use the term PSY-OP here but these strategies have many
names.

PSY-OPS have been used and are currently being used by
government agencies such as the U.S. CIA and modern military
commands. I think most would agree that there is ample evidence
to support that conclusion.

I agree the evidence of PSY-OP usage in the UFO subject area is
limited but there are known instances. It is the nature of PSY-
OPs that most will never be known. If the intended targets learn
of the activity it would not be effective.

PSY-OPS are a reality and their use is not limited to
governments. Actually, the government, which also includes the
military, contracts with companies (military industrial complex)
that provide services to supplement their organizational
capability. The companies could and do provide corporations and
private individuals with similar services.

For example, a large oil company like Exxon or BP might use the
services of a PSY-OP company to influence public opinion in
Mongolia, to give their company better access to drilling areas.

I am not specifically saying the CIA or the U.S. government is
using PSY-OPS on Ufology per se. It is likely, in my opinion,
that it is being applied in some way. I say this because there
is some strong evidence uncovered by investigators. Terry Hansen
and Timothy Good’s work come to mind. The PSY-OPS are not
necessarily be perpetrated by governments. For the ETH believers
it could be an outside ET intelligence applying similar tactics.

But assuming only human interference, it is only natural that it
would be applied to the UFO subject area if in fact someone or
some agency was trying to keep UFOs a secret. It would also be
used if someone was trying to make the public believe in UFOs
(think false flag).

My main point is that PSY-OPS are real. It is easily discovered
in main stream history and contemporary literature. As a U.S.
Military Officer I was trained on aspects of its use. Go to the
U.S. Army recruiting web site and see that they are looking for
a few good men to keep up the effort. See site:

http://www.bragg.army.mil/psyop/psyopintro.htm

I have said this on the List before but I will say it again,
serious UFO researchers should consider the possibilities.
Considering PSY-OP usage is not akin to being a conspiracy
theorist. It should be part of the job description for a serious
investigator.


Best,

Frank
