However, psychic powers research was slightly different. It originated from America's skepticism towards the extremely high loyalty of those Union spies, who would even pay out of their own pockets if necessary, suspecting they were controlled by some powerful brainwashing technique. That was why they started enthusiastically researching mind control and eventually, comprehensive psychic powers research.
The foundations of alien research were much weaker, so even when the predecessor of Group A, the "Association for the Study of Extraterrestrial Civilizations," was established, it didn't hold much influence, and its significance continued to decline over time, now essentially just a name.
Employees with spare time would take turns working part-time for Group A, compiling various scraps of alien evidence. The greatest significance was perhaps finding some amusement or giving nascent social media influencers content for their fabricated videos.
