Background

Initiative Overview Alfred Webre joined the Center for the Study of Social Policy at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California in January 1977 as a senior policy analyst. His mission involved creating an ambitious extraterrestrial communication project designed to operate with White House backing.

Proposed Framework Webre's plan encompassed establishing a comprehensive UFO database, recruiting scientific advisers to analyze collected data, and generating policy recommendations. A key objective was ending military and intelligence secrecy regarding UFO phenomena.

White House Engagement A female staff member from the White House Domestic Policy Staff provided initial support for the proposal. Webre received assurances of approval; however, communication ceased and the initiative was terminated by September 1977.
