CIA Director Admitted UFO Belief Useful for Psychological Warfare in Declassified Memos

Ehret cites declassified CIA and RAND reports showing the third CIA director, Bedell Smith, explicitly discussed weaponizing UFO beliefs for psychological warfare. He argues post-WWII UFO sightings near airbases were classified technology tests, but witnesses were fed alien narratives by intelligence operatives. The National Enquirer, founded by CIA's Office of Policy Coordination operative Generoso Pope Jr., deliberately mixed real investigations with fiction to blur reality, laying groundwork for multi-generational perception management.
