4602nd Air Intelligence Service Squadron

Air Defense Command unit created Jan 3, 1953 (Fort Belvoir, VA) by ADC Regulation 24-4, whose charter assigned field investigation of UFO reports as an explicit capability; under AFR 200-2 it took over field investigation of UFO reports for Project Blue Book. Redesignated the 1006th AISS (1957) and then the 1127th Field Activities Group (1960) - the lineage later tasked with Moon Dust / Blue Fly recoveries, undercutting the idea that later UFO references in the paperwork were incidental.
