A special group of America's top scientists were organized and the name Project Sign in December of 1947 to study the phenomenon. Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge in December of 1948. A low level collection and disinformation project named Blue Book was formed under Grudge including the controversial
"Grudge 13" which I and Bill English saw, read, and revealed to the public.
"Blue Teams" were put together to recover the crashed disks and dead or alive aliens. The Blue Teams were later to evolve into Alpha Teams under Project Pounce.

During these early years the United States Air Force and the CIA exercised complete control over the Alien Secret. In fact the CIAwas formed by President-ial Order first as the Central Intelligence Group for the express purpose of dealing with the alien presence. Later the National Security Act (NSA) was established to oversee the intelligence community and especially the alien ende-avor. A series of National Security Council Memos and Executive Orders removed the CIAfrom the sole task of gathering foreign intelligence and slowly but thoroughly "legalized" direct action in the form of covert activities at home and abroad.

On December 9, 1947, Truman approved issuance of NSC-4, entitled "Coordination of Foreign Intelligence Information Measures" at the urging of Secretaries Marshall, Forrestal, Patterson, and the Director of the State Deparment's Policy Planning Staff, Kennan.
