Christopher "Kit" Green

Background

Christopher “Kit” Green, M.D., Ph.D., has been a central figure at the intersection of intelligence, aerospace, and anomalous research. A physician and neuroscientist, Green served as a senior officer and analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, where he was involved in assessments of unconventional aerospace phenomena. After leaving government service, he transitioned into high-level corporate roles, including as a medical officer with General Motors. Green’s expertise has consistently spanned biomedical science, intelligence operations, and frontier aerospace research.

CIA and UFO Studies

Within the CIA, Green was regarded as one of the agency’s top UFO officials during the Cold War era. He was tasked with evaluating intelligence reports and classified case files concerning unidentified aerial phenomena. Green’s approach blended rigorous scientific evaluation with an openness to unconventional possibilities, positioning him as a rare figure who bridged skepticism with investigation. His role in coordinating assessments made him a significant behind-the-scenes contributor to the government’s evolving posture toward UFOs.

NIDS and the Bigelow Connection

Robert Bigelow recruited Kit Green to serve as head of the Scientific Advisory Board for the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). In this role, Green advised on investigations ranging from anomalous aerial encounters to physiological effects on witnesses. His leadership gave NIDS credibility within both scientific and intelligence communities, and he became a conduit linking Bigelow’s privately funded research with ongoing government interest in anomalous aerospace events. His tenure at NIDS cemented his reputation as a trusted figure able to navigate the sensitive boundary between classified knowledge and open inquiry.

Defense Consultation and AATIP

Decades after his CIA service, Kit Green was consulted by the U.S. Department of Defense during the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). His expertise in biomedical effects was particularly valued, especially as reports emerged of physiological changes in personnel who had close encounters with anomalous craft or energy fields. Green’s input provided critical assessments on whether these effects were explainable by known technologies or indicated exposure to novel physics. His involvement with AATIP illustrates how his career-long focus on anomalous research remained relevant to official defense inquiries well into the 21st century.

Alien Autopsy and Forensic Reviews

A lesser-known but significant aspect of Green’s work involves his quiet involvement in reviewing alleged alien autopsy files and medical forensic materials. Over the years, Green was reportedly shown classified photographs, films, and medical documents that purported to depict non-human biological entities recovered from crash retrieval incidents. While he never confirmed their authenticity publicly, his assessments were sought precisely because of his dual expertise in medicine and intelligence. In some cases, Green provided evaluations on whether the physiology shown was consistent with known human or animal anatomy, or whether it suggested an entirely novel biological structure. His reputation as a careful, critical evaluator made him a trusted voice when extraordinary claims surfaced within intelligence and defense circles.

This work places Green in the rare position of having had direct access to materials that remain the subject of deep secrecy and controversy. Whether or not the images and files were genuine, his participation illustrates how the U.S. government and its private partners maintained serious channels for assessing claims of extraterrestrial biology. Green’s perspective added medical legitimacy to questions that otherwise might have been dismissed outright, further underscoring his importance within the anomalous research community.

Implications

The trajectory of Kit Green’s career highlights the continuity of U.S. intelligence and defense interest in UFO phenomena across decades. His presence in both government and corporate research suggests that the study of anomalous aerospace events was never entirely abandoned, but shifted between classified and private-sector venues. By participating in programs from CIA analysis to NIDS to AATIP, and by reviewing alleged alien autopsy materials, Green represents a persistent thread of inquiry into phenomena that challenge conventional explanations. His advisory roles underscore the degree to which questions about UFOs have been framed not only as issues of national security, but also of biomedical and even biological significance. For many researchers, his involvement confirms that the boundary between myth and classified reality is far narrower than often assumed.
