UAP researcher uncovers ‘confidential Irish Government memo’ regarding UFOs

Chris Gaffney is an Irish representative for ICER – the ‘International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research’, an organisation comprised of academics and scientists.

“Whilst researching the Department of Foreign Affairs in the National Archives, I couldn’t believe the document I came across,” Chris told the Sunday World.

A private pilot, he has been studying UAP since the 1970s. In 2022, Chris created ‘Project Morrigan’, an approach to the Houses of Oireachtas to establish Irish institutions dedicated to the scientific study of UAP.

Mr Gaffney believes UAP represent technology which could become ‘a new type of green energy used for earth.’

“Everyone is suffering in terms of the energy crisis,” he said. “The Oireachtas acknowledged our project, which is for the scientific study of UAP as a solution to this problem.”

Mr Gaffney is hoping money will be allocated by Government in the near future to investigate UAP here in Ireland and the propulsion systems he believes are being utilised.

“How much is it now for fuel? Everything is going through the roof. Yet at the same time, we can say with 100 pc certainty that there are objects in our skies defying the laws of physics,” Chris said.

“Project Morrigan has the backing of Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for Intelligence, who has stated he is “very interested” in its outcome.

“Dr Colm Kelleher – an Irish scientist with top secret (TS/SCI) US Government clearance – has expressed interest. Astronomer Dr Eamonn Ansbro has colleagues very involved.”

The Dublin researcher spoke passionately about the positive breakthroughs he thinks could be uncovered.

“Currently the best technology we have to get from sea level into orbit takes 300 seconds.

“That energy could power 3,000 Dublin homes for one week. UAP are using technology light years ahead; somebody somewhere has that technology,” Chris said.

“Morrigan is about a change of attitude. We need academic study of UAP in this country. We are doing a disservice to science by not properly looking into this.

“The US Department of Defence has stated there are spheres doing Mach 2 in the atmosphere. Forget ET, there’s no talk of ET.

“Whoever is behind it; the fact is it is there. Is it a yet to be discovered natural phenomenon we don’t yet understand? I want to see an academic, adult, mature conversations about this. All science is provisional,” said Chris.

In April, the Dubliner uncovered ‘a confidential report’ written by Joseph D Brennan, Irish Ambassador to the US in the 1950s.

In it, Mr Brennan wrote to Irish diplomat, Frederick H Boland on June 15, 1950, discussing UAP.

“The Department is, no doubt, aware of the many published reports in regards to flying objects which have been named as ‘flying saucers,” Mr Brennan wrote.

‘There was published a book entitled ‘The Flying Saucers Are Real.’ The conclusions of the author are that the objects are propelled from another planet.

“My newspaper friends tell me that the book is completely factual and that the references given are well authenticated.

“I had lunch with Mr Wilbur of UP and he told me an American Airlines plane landing at Washington Airport was circled three times by one of these manifestations.

“The papers here carried the report and after that it was dropped out of every edition.

‘The State Department proposes to form a Scientific Branch for the exchange of information between all countries (which) is supposed to have something to do with this flying saucer scare.

“The Secretary of State announced he was going to recruit top-flight scientists to head up this Scientific Branch of the State Department”, the Irish diplomat wrote.

Chris said his “jaw hit the floor” when he learned Irish diplomats were “discussing this 70 years ago.”

Last year, the Sunday World revealed a document from an EU General referencing UAP.

“I was the guy who wrote to General Claudio Graziano, Head of the Chairman of the European Union Military Committee,” Chris added.

“He wrote back saying UAP are ‘critical events’ that could affect air security in Europe, that EU countries are ‘investigating’ and will bring it up with other Defence chiefs.

“I got recognition from the top General in Europe how seriously he takes the subject.”

Last Summer, US Government official, David Grusch, testified under oath about a military programme ‘retrieving crashed UFOs,’ which brought the subject into the limelight.

In the 1950s, mainstream US newspapers and magazines used to widely report the existence of ‘gravity propulsion research.’

A March 1956 ‘Aero Digest’ article stated: ‘At least 14 United States research centres are at work cracking the gravity barrier. Backing the research with multi-million dollar projects is our aircraft industry.’

Recently, in August 2023, US army veteran DC Long came forward to describe an encounter with a ‘hovering monolithic slab’ at an underground army base.

In April of this year, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence, Chris Mellon, posted details online of a Signal exchange with a ‘senior Government official’ purporting to verify the truth behind UAP crash retrieval claims.

“We’re dealing with the recovered UAP that landed in Kingman, Arizona in the 50s,” the text states.

“We also know who recovers landed or crashed UAPs under what authorities. We also know that a still highly classified memo by a Secretary of the US Air Force in the 1950s is still in effect to maintain the cover on UAPs.

“We know the SES-2 (communication satellite) who’s the Air Force gatekeeper.

“People will be slack jaw if they found out what we now know.”

A recent Pentagon report claimed to have found ‘no empirical evidence’ for alien technology but that many UAP reports remain unsolved or unidentified.

Regarding ‘Project Morrigan’, the Houses of the Oireachtas stated: “In line with Standing Orders, the Oireachtas does not comment on private Committee business.”
