Here’s why I ask this question.
First, if you look over his resume’, it DOES mention that he was “in the CIA” from 2003-2011. But he appears to have largely been involved only in interagency work between the CIA and the Dept of Defense’s DIA (defense intelligence agency).
And then in 2012, he fully moved to the DIA (which, by the way, is a completely different branch in the US gov from the CIA).
Now, here’s the critical piece…
Kirkpatrick basically seems to have specialized in top-secret advanced, but VERY MAN-MADE, defense technologies throughout his career.
From other reporting, it appears that the CIA’s Office of Global Access (OGA) is running “The Program” (i.e. managing all the UAP crash retrievals and NHI studies). This department is said to be extremely compartmented from all the other CIA departments, DoD, and especially the rest of the US government.
So based on the type of defense work Kirkpatrick appears to have done, it seems likely he is an unwitting stooge oblivious to the actual UAP and NHI work that is happening in the CIA’s OGA dept.
In essence, he was likely never read-in to these UAP/NHI programs, that are secretly hidden within non-UAP programs in the CIA’s OGA.
What do you guys think?
