NSA (historical UFO-community source)

Named by Hume as a likely historical source of NSA UFO information for civilian researchers. Hume asked whether a document under discussion was an NSA message and whether McConnell (RIP) had been the group's source.

Glomar / NCND

NSA 1978 serial cited in Immaculate Constellation

A year later NSA would not confirm or deny the document's existence. They omitted the subject line; Hume had to match it by date. He appealed and lost. He notes the same item appears in Oke's 1985 notes, which is why he is confident it exists.
