Harold M. McClelland

Harold M. McClelland was a U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) agent involved in early UFO investigations. Following Kenneth Arnold's sighting on June 24, 1947, the CIC handled most UFO reports as an official program. CIC agents transitioning to the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) took over UFO probes. With surging reports, the Air Force established Project Sign as a clearing house. McClelland's role underscores the military intelligence origins of government UFO programs before formal Air Force projects. No birth/death dates, specific achievements, publications, or testimony are documented in available sources. His contributions highlight the CIC's foundational involvement in UAP research.
