I recently ran across something in Timothy Good's book, Above Top Secret, concerning a group called the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU). I am quoting the paragraph containing this material. This material was part of the green fireballs in New Mexico. As you will see, the organization was apparently established in 1947. I would appreciate anyone with any further information to please post, such as dates of beginning and purpose for the organization, etc. From Page 267... Of the US Army Intelligence (G-2) representatives present, it is possible that some included members of the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU) of the Scientific and Technical Branch, Counterintelligence Directorate, an elite UFO investigation group allegedly set up by General Marshall in 1947 and disbanded in the 1950s. According to Colonel William Guild, Director of Counterintelligence, "All records pertaining to this unit were surrendered to the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations in conjunction with operation 'BLUEBOOK,'" [27] AFOSI have not released these records to date. Did the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit learn some disturbing facts that still cannot be revealed? In 1955 General Douglas MacArthur -- also rumored to have been involved in establishing the IPU -- made an astonishing statement that lends weight to this possiblility. "The nations of the world will have to unite," he said, "for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets." [28] [27] Letter from Colonel William B. Guild, Director of Counterintelligence, Department of the Army, Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Washington, D.C. 20310, to Richard Hall, 25 September 1980.
