McConnell, Howell –
- Howell McConnell – the UFO man from the NSA – March 13, 2011 by Pauline Wilson
Vallee:
Jacques Vallee, in his “Forbidden Science-Volume 2” diaries makes mention of an NSA employee who like then CIA Dr Christopher “Kit” Green, (see my previous posts on Green)showed an interest in UFOs. (Vallee, J. 2008. “Forbidden Science-Volume Two- Journals 1970-1979-The Belmont Years.” Documentica Research, LLC. ISBN 978-0-615-24974-2.)The volume has the following relevant entries:
27 October 1972
“At the Hilton desk I found a note from Puthoff with instructions to call a certain “locator number” and to ask for Howell McConnell. I was supposed to say I was referred to him by “R.T.” I have just called the locator, which rings inside NSA and left a message.” (For more on Puthoff click here.)
28 October 1972
“Howell McConnell does work at the National Security Agency, one of the most secretive components of the Intelligence Community whose initials are said to stand for “Never Say Anything” or “No Such Agency.” He arrived looking like a jovial math teacher, a rotund character with spectacles and gray mustache, oddly sweet for a man in the spook business. We sat in the dining room, ordered a pot of coffee, and spent the whole morning there.
