History of NSA from Wikipedia

The little Google Alien Game inspired me to do this research on the NSA. 

Basically, the NSA is the only public organization known to be involved with researching what humans on Earth are contacted by UFOs ongoing. There are obviously secret agencies in many governments so secret they don't even have a name funded by different countries black ops budgets which CANNOT show up on regarding any public funding for a variety of reasons worldwide. But, the closest organization  presently known of publicly that likely is associated with the REAL Men in Black that the public is allowed to know about is the NSA.

History

Predecessor and initial authorization

The Brownell Report of June 13, 1952

The predecessor of the National Security Agency was the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA), created on May 20, 1949.^[7] This organization was originally established within the U.S. Department of Defense under the command of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.^[7] The AFSA was to direct Department of Defense communications and electronic intelligence activities, except those of U.S. military intelligence units.^[7] AFSA failed to achieve a centralized communications intelligence mechanism, and failed to coordinate with civilian agencies that shared its interests (the Department of State, CIA, and FBI).^[7]
In December 1951, President Harry S. Truman ordered a study to correct AFSA's failures. Six months later, the four members finished and issued the Brownell Report, which criticized AFSA, strengthened it and resulted in its redesignation as the National Security Agency.^[8] The agency was formally established by Truman in a memorandum of October 24, 1952, that revised National Security Council Intelligence Directive (NSCID) 9.^[9] Truman's memo was later declassified.^[9]

History of headquarters

Headquarters at Fort Meade circa 1950s

When the agency was established, its headquarters and cryptographic center were in the Naval Security Station in Washington, D.C.. The COMINT functions were located in Arlington Hall in Northern Virginia, which served as the headquarters of the U.S. Army's cryptographic operations.^[10] Because the Soviet Union had detonated a nuclear bomb and because the facilities were crowded, the federal government wanted to move several agencies, including the AFSA/NSA. A planning committee considered Fort Knox, but Fort Meade, Maryland, was ultimately chosen as NSA headquarters because it was far enough away from Washington, D.C. in case of a nuclear strike and was close enough so its employees would not have to move their families.^[11]
Construction of additional buildings began after the agency occupied buildings at Ft. Meade in the late 1950s, which they soon outgrew.^[12] In 1963 the new headquarters building, nine stories tall, opened. NSA workers referred to the building as the "Headquarters Building" and since the NSA management occupied the top floor, workers used "Ninth Floor" to refer to their leaders.^[13] COMSEC remained in Washington, D.C., until its new building was completed in 1968.^[12] In September 1986, the Operations 2A and 2B buildings, both copper-shielded to prevent eavesdropping, opened with a dedication by President Ronald Reagan.^[14] The four NSA buildings became known as the "Big Four."^[14] The NSA director moved to 2B when it opened.^[14]

Memorials

National Cryptologic Memorial

Crews associated with NSA missions have been involved in a number of dangerous and deadly situations.^[15] The USS Liberty incident in 1967 and USS Pueblo incident in 1968 are examples of the losses endured during the Cold War.^[15]
The National Security Agency/Central Security Service Cryptologic Memorial honors and remembers the fallen personnel, both military and civilian, of these intelligence missions.^[16] It is made of black granite, and has 171 names (as of 2013) carved into it.^[16] It is located at NSA headquarters. A tradition of declassifying the stories of the fallen was begun in 2001.^[16]
In 1999, NSA founded the NSA Hall of Honor, a memorial at the National Cryptologic Museum in Fort Meade, Maryland.^[17] The memorial is a "tribute to the pioneers and heroes who have made significant and long-lasting contributions to American cryptology".^[17] NSA employees must be retired for more than fifteen years to qualify for the memorial.^[17]

Headquarters

Headquarters for the National Security Agency is set apart from but is technically inside Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. Ft. Meade is about 20 mi (32 km) southwest of Baltimore,^[18] and 25 mi (40 km) northeast of Washington, DC.^[19] The NSA has its own exit off Maryland Route 295 South labeled "NSA Employees Only".^[20][21] The exit may only be used by people with the proper clearances, and security vehicles parked along the road guard the entrance.^[22] NSA is the largest employer in the U.S. state of Maryland, and two-thirds of its personnel work at Ft. Meade.^[23] Built on 350 acres (140 ha; 0.55 sq mi)^[24] of Ft. Meade's 5,000 acres (2,000 ha; 7.8 sq mi),^[25] the site has 1,300 buildings and an estimated 18,000 parking spaces.^[26][27]

NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland

The main NSA headquarters and operations building is what James Bamford, author of Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency, describes as "a modern boxy structure" that appears similar to "any stylish office building."^[28] which is covered with one-way dark glass.^[28] The building has 3,000,000 square feet (280,000 m²), or more than 68 acres (28 ha), of floor space. Bamford said that the U.S. Capitol "could easily fit inside it four times over."^[28] Under the outside glass the building uses copper shielding to trap in any signals and sounds to prevent espionage.^[28] The facility has over 100 watchposts,^[29] one of them being the visitor control center, a two-story area that serves as the entrance.^[28] At the entrance, a white pentagonal structure,^[30] visitor badges are issued to visitors, and security clearances of employees are checked.^[31] The visitor center includes a painting of the NSA seal.^[30] The OPS2A building, the tallest building in the NSA complex and the location of much of the agency's operations directorate, is accessible from the visitor center. Bamford described it as a "dark glass Rubik's Cube".^[32] The facility's "red corridor" houses non-security operations such as concessions and the drug store. The name refers to the "red badge" which is worn by someone without a security clearance. The NSA headquarters includes a cafeteria, a credit union, ticket counters for airlines and entertainment, a barbershop, and a bank.^[30] NSA headquarters has its own post office, fire department, and police force.^[33]
The employees at the NSA headquarters reside in various places in the Baltimore-Washington area, including Annapolis, Baltimore, and Columbia in Maryland and the District of Columbia, including the Georgetown community.^[34]

Groundbreaking for the High Performance Computing Center 2, May 2013

Expansion of headquarters

NSA had a groundbreaking ceremony at Ft. Meade in May 2013 for its High Performance Computing Center 2, expected to open in 2016.^[35] Called Site M, the center has a 150 megawatt power substation, 14 administrative buildings and 10 parking garages.^[33] It cost $3.2 billion and covers 227 acres (92 ha; 0.355 sq mi).^[33] The center is 1,800,000 square feet (17 ha; 0.065 sq mi)^[33] and initially uses 60 megawatts of electricity.^[36]
Stretching 16 years into the future, increments 2 and 3 would quadruple the space, covering 5,800,000 square feet (54 ha; 0.21 sq mi) with 60 buildings and 40 parking garages.^[33]

Other facilities

RAF Menwith Hill had the largest NSA presence in the United Kingdom.^[37]

As of 2012, NSA collected intelligence from four geostationary satellites.^[38] Satellite receivers were at Roaring Creek station in Catawissa, Pennsylvania and Salt Creek in Arbuckle, California.^[38] It operated ten to twenty taps on U.S. telecom switches. NSA had installations in several U.S. states and from them observed intercepts from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, and Asia.^[38]
NSA also operates RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom, which was, according to BBC News in 2007, the largest electronic monitoring station in the world.^[39] Planned in 1954, and opened in 1960, the base covered 562 acres (227 ha; 0.878 sq mi) as of 1999.^[40]
NSA had facilities at Friendship Annex (FANX) in Linthicum, Maryland, which is a 20 to 25-minute drive from Ft. Meade;^[41] the Aerospace Data Facility at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora outside Denver, Colorado; NSA Texas in the Texas Cryptology Center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas; NSA Georgia at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia; NSA Hawaii in Honolulu, the Multiprogram Research Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and elsewhere.^[34][38]
On January 6, 2011 a groundbreaking ceremony was held to begin construction on NSA's first Comprehensive National Cyber-security Initiative (CNCI) Data Center, known as the "Utah Data Center" for short. The billion data center is being built at Camp Williams, Utah, located 25 miles (40 km) miles south of Salt Lake City. The data center will help support the agency's National Cyber-security Initiative.^[42] It is expected to be operational by September 2013.^[38]

Cyber center under construction at US Army European headquarters in Wiesbaden

In 2009, to protect its assets and to access more electricity, NSA sought to decentralize and expand its existing facilities in Ft. Meade and Menwith Hill,^[43] the latter expansion expected to be completed by 2015.^[37]
The Yakima Herald-Republic cited Bamford, saying that many of NSA's bases for its Echelon program were a legacy system, using outdated, 1990s technology.^[44] In 2004, NSA closed its operations at Bad Aibling Station (Field Station 81) in Bad Aibling, Germany.^[45] In 2012, NSA began to move some of its operations at Yakima Research Station, Yakima Training Center, in Washington state to Colorado, planning to leave Yakima closed.^[46] As of 2013, NSA also intended to close operations at Sugar Grove, West Virginia.^[44]
In 2013, a new Consolidated Intelligence Center, also to be used by NSA, is being built at the headquarters of the United States Army Europe in Weisbaden, Germany.^[47] NSA's partnership with Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), the German foreign intelligence service, was confirmed by BND president Gerhard Schindler.^[47]

Employees

The number of NSA employees is officially classified,^[48] but in 2012, the NSA said more than 30,000 employees work at Ft. Meade.^[1] In 2012 John C. Inglis, the deputy director, said that the total number of NSA employees is "somewhere between 37,000 and one billion" as a joke.^[48] In 2013 Der Spiegel stated that the NSA had 40,000 employees.^[49] In 2012 Inglis stated that the agency is "probably the biggest employer of introverts."^[48]

Polygraphing

Brochure of the NSA about polygraph testing

The NSA conducts polygraph tests of employees. For new employees, the tests are meant to discover enemy spies who are applying to the NSA and to uncover any information that could make an applicant pliant to coercion.^[50] As part of the latter, historically EPQs or "embarrassing personal questions" about sexual behavior had been included about the NSA polygraph.^[50] The NSA also conducts five-year periodic reinvestigation polygraphs of employees, focusing on counterintelligence programs. In addition the NSA conducts aperiodic polygraph investigations in order to find spies and leakers; those who refuse to take them may receive "termination of employment", according to a 1982 memorandum from the director of the NSA. There are also "special access examination" polygraphs for employees who wish to work in highly sensitive areas, and those polygraphs cover counterintelligence questions and some questions about behavior.^[51] NSA's brochure states that the average test length is between two and four hours.^[52] A 1983 report of the Office of Technology Assessment stated that "It appears that the NSA [National Security Agency] (and possibly CIA) use the polygraph not to determine deception or truthfulness per se, but as a technique of interrogation to encourage admissions."^[53] Sometimes applicants in the polygraph process confess to committing felonies such as murder, rape, and selling of illegal drugs. Between 1974 and 1979, of the 20,511 job applicants who took polygraph tests, 695 (3.4%) confessed to previously felony crimes; almost all of those crimes had been undetected.<sup>[50]

National Security Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you ever watched any of the "Men in Black" movies you know that if there are many alien groups then the world needs "Men in Black" in multiple nations to police their visitations on EArth. Even if most groups were civilized it likely would have a different meaning that in might have for us. 

For example, if you looked at the Earth Historically how one nation or group treated other groups down through history we might have some of the same issues with alien groups visiting earth from other planets or time lines from Earth here today. 

Also, timing wise you will notice that Roswell was in 1947, the transistor was invented 6 months later and then in 1949 as a direct response to Roswell the NSA was formed. Whereas the CIA was formed in response to Nuclear Weapons. Here is a book about the first CIA agent to die in the CIA as far as I know.

Also, the reason Truman established and then refined the NSA is because he and Eisenhower were the only two U.S. Presidents allowed to know the truth about Roswell. The main reason no other presidents were included in this was: "Plausible Deniability". With Plausible deniability a President might be able to say for example, "I have not heard from any reliable source that UFO's are real!"

And newspapers and newsmen and newswomen and the American People might be inclined to believe that U.S. President. 

 

Also, one of the logical reasons for asking potential embarrassing sexual and other inappropriate questions while on a polygraph test would be to potentially blackmail such a potential employees if they revealed "ANY" secret information deemed top secret or above top secret by the government. 

However, this is a common practice of all governments to do things like this. The applicants must realize that their lives are at stake if they reveal certain types of information. All clandestine governmental groups worldwide understand this. So, even if that employee eventually thinks certain information should be public this is still true. All Governments function through secrecy. Without secrecy of certain things all governments on earth would collapse. So, when people keeping secrets release embarrassing secrets often they disappear or suddenly lose their minds unexpectedly. This is true worldwide.

So, what is the truth?

It is never what is publicly released.

So, if you know this intrinsically you are well served in beginning to protect yourselves for the rest of your lives.

 

Note: The NSA began as the Armed Forces Security Agency on May 20, 1949 and then was renamed the National Security Agency on  November 4, 1952 ( over 60 years ago).
