[edit] "Top Secret Ultra"??

Is there really such a security clearance in the US government? Or is the security clearance "top secret ultra" itself a secret?Phiwum 13:06, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know one way or the other, but classified information doesn't list it. Maybe you could ask there. (well, I decided to ask.) Bubba73 (talk), 16:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. agr's response was informative. I think that this information should be included in the article, but only if we get an authoritative source that we can cite.

Sorry but I won't pursue it. I'm afraid I'm not too interested in this topic, but perhaps someone else could do so. Thanks again, Bubba. Phiwum 19:37, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

The "Ultra" part may be some sort of tag added (which may been changed since then) onto Meznel's TS rating to allow him access to super sensitive information. What bugs me is researchers such as Stanton Friedman attempt to cite Menzel on the basis of having relations with the intelligence and academic communities. I've always thought "so what?" The government routinely retains individuals from the civilian sector to work and consult on various things. Shadowrun 04:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
