- l. Per our telephone conversation today, I am forwarding Mr Robert Todd's
- FOIA request along with the AFOSI message for determination as to
- classification level. As you can see, Mr Todd retyped the message "for
- easier reading." I have talked to AFOSI/DADF, Nadine Dulacki. According to
- her, they did not release the message to Mr Todd nor does she know how it
- came into his possession. Maj Kilikauskas (AFSAC/INOB, 664-4488) has looked
- at the t( message and he feels that it is a fake for several reasons:
-
- a. There never has been an office within AFSAC (or 7602nd) with the
- symbol INS, INSR, or IT.
-
- b. There has never been a "Cpt Grace" (or anyone with the surname
- Grace) assigned to AFSAC.
-
- c. The purported imagery interpretation done is outside AFSAC's and
- AFOSI's mission. Further, AFSAC has no individuals who are photo
- interpreters.
-
- d. The term WNINTEL is spelled phonetically on each occurrence. OSI
- should certainly be familiar with the correct spelling. Further, the
- document is replete with grammatical errors, typing errors, and in
- general, makes no sense.
-
- 3. The document is not in the standard, acepted format for classified
- messages.
-
- Neither Maj Kilikauskas nor Mr Nehlig (who has worked in AFSAC many years)
- remember hearing of a "Project Aquarius." Further, Maj Kilikauskas had no
- idea if the information purportedly supplied by this Capt Grace is, in fact,
- classified at the Secret/WNINTEL level. He suggests that both NASA and
- Coast and Geodetic Survey be contacted to see if they have an interest in
- the message.
-
- 2. Finally, I have talked to Mr Earl Middaugh (AFOSI/IVOE, 767-5144). He
- remembers a FOIA request that his office staffed which involved an AFOSI
- message similar to this one. However, they were unable to identify it as
- OSI originated. He thinks perhaps this might be the same message. I have
- forwarded a copy of the Todd request to the AFOSI Freedom of Information
- Office (Bob Walker, 767-5262). Upon receipt both Mr Walker and Mr Middaugh
- will be better able to determine if this is a legitimate AFOSI document.
-
- 3. Until a determination is made, we will regard the document as
- classified.
