This is everything I’ve found online about the Office of Global Access prior to its mention in the DailyMail article. I have also attached screenshots below from my browsing.
There is evidence of a possible sister program called the Office of Special Activities (OSA) – see below
The Office of Global Access (OGA), a covert program within the CIA, has been at the forefront of operations related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). The OGA’s operations extend beyond mere concealment, actively coordinating with Special Operations Forces and PMCs for the collection of crashed or landed craft.
Figures Associated with OGA:
Douglas Wolfe: Former Deputy Director of the Office of Global Access (OGA) – He was responsible for leading & managing strategic, unwarned access programs that deliver intelligence from the most challenging denied areas. He also served as program manager with responsibility for the end-to-end system acquisition of an innovative new source & method for the intelligence community. Wolfe was previously the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the CIA & as the Deputy Director for Acquisition, Technology, and Facilities at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). After his work in the government he has shifted to the private sector. Wolfe is currently a Vice President and General Manager for Jacobs. He served as the CEO of BlackLynx from March 2018 until November 2021 when Jacobs acquired BlackLynx, an industry leader in delivering high performance computing and cloud infrastructure services to the government. Andrew Gibb: Program Director – CIA & Directorate of Science & Technology & Office of Global Access (OGA) – He was also Department Chief at the CIA’s Weapons and Counterproliferation Mission Center, National Intelligence Officer for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Counterproliferation at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, earlier in his career, he worked as an Intelligence Analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a Nuclear Submarine Officer in the US Navy. Roni Modica: Technical Intelligence Officer in the Office of Global Access (OGA) in the Directorate for Science and Technology – She was the program manager for one of the CIA DS&T’s largest development efforts. After the OGA she worked for the Department of Defense. Roni Modica is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xceptional Innovations and Consulting, Inc. developing innovative aerospace concepts and prototypes for defense, national security and commercial applications. She holds a Top Secret Compartmented Information clearance. From 2014-2019, she was a Defense Intelligence Senior Level Executive serving as a technical advisor for space and missile defense activities in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence which is the Department of Defense (DoD) organization responsible for providing oversight and policy guidance for all DoD intelligence activities. Craig R. Gralley: Worked at the Office of the Inspector General at the CIA – Led teams and drafted inspection reports focused on key Agency issues (information operations, the cyber threat, and global coverage) and Agency components (the Office of Global Access and Latin America Division).
Office of Global Access (OGA) in Literature:
The U.S. Intelligence Community by Jeffery T. Richelson (7th ed) – 2015
In this book, it mentions:
“The early 2015 version of the DS&T, included eight offices: Mission Resources, Technical Intelligence Officer (TIO) Development, Global Access, Special Activities, Technical Collection, Technical Readiness, Technical Service, and Integrated Missions. The Office of TIO Development is the career development organization for the DS&T (since the term “technical intelligence officer” applies to all DS&T officers). Subsets of the TIO category include operations tradecraft, technical research, technical development, and technical analysis.
A declassified CIA description characterized the Office of Global Access, established in 2003, as responding to “[deleted] requirements combining operations, analysis, and engineering to attack the most difficult technical collection challenges worldwide.” The description also stated, somewhat repetitively, that the office “integrate[s] analysis, technology, and tradecraft to attack the most difficult targets, and to provide worldwide collection capability.” Also established in 2003, the Office of Special Activities (OSA) provided technical, engineering, research, and analytical expertise for tactical and strategic operations. Both were created out of already existing directorate components”
Did they coordinate with the OGA in crash retrieval programs? Very interesting to find any of this in literature.**
Crash Retrieval Process:
Detection: The detection of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) must be primarily facilitated through the integration of advanced surveillance technologies and analytical methodologies within the U.S. Intelligence Community. the OGA must be utilizing some sort of network of space-based satellites, airborne platforms, and ground-based sensors using systematic algorithms to identify patterns and anomalies in vast datasets (or they have completely new detection tools that we cannot even begin to fathom). Analysts, combining human expertise with machine learning tools, sift through extensive datasets to identify UAPs that exhibit behaviours inconsistent with conventional aircraft or natural phenomena.
Retrieval: Upon confirmation of a UAP, the retrieval process involves the deployment of Special Operations Forces (SOF) or American PMCs under the jurisdiction of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). SEAL teams and Delta Force units, selected for their specialized skills and operational capabilities, conduct covert missions to recover crashed or landed UAPs. The OGA plays a pivotal role in providing intelligence to these special forces, guiding them to the designated sites. These missions are characterized by precision and stealth, ensuring minimal visibility and operational security. Specialized equipment is probably employed to secure and transport the recovered UAP artifacts without compromising their integrity. The retrieval teams probably have no idea what exactly they are retrieving. All that’s likely known is something crashed or landed and they need to round up every trace and bring it to some other location. They don’t need to know exactly why they’re doing it or what’s going to happen to the material they recovered.
Post Retrieval & Security Protocols: Following retrieval, the recovered UAP technology undergoes a meticulous examination within classified facilities. These facilities are typically managed by defence contractors with expertise in advanced engineering and technological analysis (it is reasonable to assume multiple defence contractor involvement based on the complexity of the tasks involved) Strict security protocols and non-disclosure agreements govern the handling and study of the recovered technology. The purpose of these measures is to safeguard classified information and prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive details regarding the UAP artifacts. The process often involves compartmentalized teams working on specific aspects of the technology, minimizing the risk of information leaks.
Apologies if this has been discussed.
Thanks.
