- STEIN1.TXT - Text file that was scanned and processed via OCR by
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Harvey Stewart [UFONET I] .
- The file was run through the Microsoft Word 5.0 spell
- checker following conversion so most errors in character
- recognition should be ok. Now that I finally have OCR
- software that works there should be lots of files on the
- way so stay tuned.
-
- Do you have important material that needs to be shared?
- Contact us here at UFONET I and perhaps we can convert
- your document to a text file for you using our OCR
- software and hardware. You can contact either myself
- Harvey Stewart or the Sysop of this board Tom Mickus
- for details.

- Dear Mr. Steinman :
-
- This is in response to your letter of May 8, 1984, in
- which you request information concerning "The Interplanetary
- Phenomenon Unit of the Scientific and Technical Branch of
- Army counterintelligence Directorate, DA. "Your letter was
- received in this office on May 15, 1984 .
-
- As you note in your letter, the so-called Interplanetary
- Phenomenon Unit ( IPU ) was disestablished and, as far as we
- are aware, all records, if any, Were transferred to the Air
- Force in the late 1950's . The "unit was formed as an in-
- house project purely as an interest item for the Assistant
- Chief of Staff for Intelligence . It was never a "unit" in
- the military sense, nor was it ever formally organized or
- reportable, it had no investigative function, mission or
- authority, and may not even have had any formal records at
- all, It is only through institutional memory that any
- recollection exists of this unit. We are therefore Unable
- to answer your questions as to the exact purpose of the
- unit, exactly when it was disestablished, or who was in command
- this last would not apply in any case, as no one was
- in command ". We have no records or documentation of any
- kind on this unit, "Also, it is Very unlikely that there
- was any relationship between xxxxxxxxxx and the IPU, but
- only xxxxxxxxxxxxx could answer that question.
-
- I regret that we are unable to be of more assistance in
- this matter.
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Lance R. Cornine
- Lieutenant Colonel, General Staff
- Director of Counterintelligence
