The Green File: Inside Project Evergreen

By Juniper Ravenwood

📦 The Package That Started It All
Picture a manila envelope sliding across a CBS desk in 1971 — no return address, just eight perfect glossies of a saucer over the Mojave. That was the ignition switch for Project Evergreen, a supposed CIA perception-management program designed to make the world believe in little green men.

🎬 Scripts for the Skies
Declassified memos reveal “eyewitness assets” handed verbatim abduction scripts. Retired sergeant Calvin Royce donned a silver jumpsuit on a Burbank soundstage while strobe lights mimicked “energy beams.” His testimony aired coast-to-coast; three weeks later he vanished.

📽️ Subliminal Static
The creepiest artifact? A 16mm reel labeled Test Pattern 7. Thirty seconds of snow, then a single dilated eye reflecting a saucer — flashing every 23 seconds, the exact length of a human alpha brainwave. The pattern allegedly ghosted into late-night sign-offs, triggering abduction dreams and unexplained nosebleeds.

🌍 International Rollout
By 1977 the operation went global. The Berwyn Mountain “UFO crash” in Wales? Pyrotechnics, magnesium flares, and a weather balloon. Perfect distraction while real headlines burned elsewhere.

🧩 The Skeptical Crack
One 1976 memo admits the psy-op oversaturated the signal: genuine anomalies now dismissed as “Evergreen artifacts.” The Mojave photos? Shadows fall wrong. Royce resurfaced in Tucson claiming the whole thing was a producer’s résumé builder. Yet the dreams never stopped.

🚪 The Final Line
Hand-scrawled on the dossier’s last page: “Phase Two begins when they stop looking up.”

Unplug your TV tonight… or don’t. The hum might still be looking for you.
