A Suppliment to an Interview with Ex-CIA Analyst Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green

This month, Dr Christopher C. Green, a former analyst at the CIA's Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence, provided LoveToKnow a rare and exclusive interview. In this interview, Dr. Green publicly expresses some of his frustration regarding the fact that although he
 did serve as the "Keeper of the Weird" for the CIA from 1970 up through 1985, but insists those activities barely accounted for 10% of his overall role at the Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence.

Dr. Green responds in the interview, "Overall, I never spent more than 10% of my time on the subjects across any given period of weeks or a month. However, it has resulted in 90% of what is thought to be known about me!"

Dr. Green's CIA Career

Dr. Green's professional career is impressive by anyone's standards. According to his signed Curriculum Vita, he was a graduate of Northwestern University in 1962, followed by his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado Medical School in 1969.

In 1969, he went to work for the Central Intelligence Agency. By the end of his career with the agency in 1985, he was reporting directly to the Director of the Agency as a Senior Division Analyst with the newly formed Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence.

CIA UFO and Paranormal Research

Concerning the CIA's paranormal work, Dr. Green's Curriculum Vitae does not reflect significant efforts devoted to "the Weird Desk." However, Dr. Green was awarded the President's National Intelligence Medal, in 1985, for his work on a classified project from 1979-1983. This means that the most substantial influence Dr. Green had in the Intelligence community took place after 1979 within the Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence. The project was completely unrelated to the CIA's previous foray into parapsychology.

The project is now declassified, and Dr. Green describes his award for this project vaguely:

wow really well written article many unique cases of evidence and examinations of parapsychology I have not seen. You should check out the COMETA report that France released and cross reference the way they analyzed sightings to your analysis.

"An excellent and fair story. Unanswered questions while seemingly pointed toward mysterious answers (still fair ones, however) are accurately posed. The reader is honestly led by Mr. Dube toward the truth...there is much less true mystery, magic, and conspiracy than meets the eye. I am happy I gave the interview. Ryan quoted me in context. Aspects of my involvement some may read as foolish, a few may read as stupid, and (I hope) the remaining few may read as highly legitimate paranoid thinking seeking that sliver of true mystery to be solved. Ryan's story is therefore in my opinion uncommonly balanced and accurate." - Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green
