Aquarius is also said to be the name of an American government project, related to UFOs. Even though the program was started in 1954 by Pres. Eisenhower, it only got the name “Aquarius” in 1960. (Robert Collins claims that it was called Gleem initially). The purpose was to gather all scientific, technological, medical & other information on UFO’s and “IAC’s” (Identified Alien Craft), in order to try and make use of the technology, used in these crafts.
As such it is related to some other projects: Moondust Project, Snowbird Project, and Bluefly Project.
Several sources confirm that Aquarius is the name of the framework program that deals with the overall research and contact programs with regard to ET’s.
One source (MW Cooper) says Aquarius is a project which compiled the history of the alien presence and their interaction with Homo Sapiens upon this planet for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque people who live in the mountainous country on the border of France and Spain and the Syrians. (Most sources refer to this as the Red Book.).
It can be noted that these theories do not contradict each other from this perspective that the history of alien interaction, indeed would be part of the overall program.
The Project contains all information collected by the United States since it began investigating UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) and IAC’s (Identified Alien Craft). At the time we saw this information it existed in approximately 15 or 16 volumes.
This project became an independent project when PROJECT SIGN was eliminated in 1960.
PROJECT AQUARIUS referred to aliens as Alien Life Forms. The mission of PROJECT AQUARIUS was to gather all scientific, technological, medical, and intelligence information from UFO & IAC sightings and contacts with Alien Life Forms. The information was to be used in the space program.
