The document
In June 1983 a lieutenant colonel of Military Intelligence sat down at Fort George G. Meade and wrote to his commanding officer about how to leave your body.
Twenty-nine pages later, at paragraph 38, he reaches his conclusion.
There is a sound, rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway to be plausible in terms of its essential objectives.
Then it keeps going. Into a training programme, lettered A through L, that starts with audio tapes and ends somewhere else entirely.
He signed it. It was addressed to a commander. It was filed.
The missing page
The CIA released this memorandum through its FOIA reading room in 2003 — as a microfilm scan, with two pages bound out of order and one missing entirely. Page 25 simply wasn't there. Not blank, not blacked out: absent, in the middle of the argument, for eighteen years.
In 2021 the Monroe Institute, which had kept an intact copy, supplied the missing page to Vice. The accepted explanation is a sheet dropped during microfilming.
This edition puts page 25 back where it belongs, marked in red because it comes from a different scan, and puts pages 17 and 18 back in the order the typist numbered them. Nothing is retouched. You get the document as it was released, and you get it whole.
The object
