In March 2024 the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office at the Pentagon issued a 63 page report titled "Report on the Historical Record of US Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena." In 2023 lawmakers had ordered AARO to issue a report on its findings. The report covered the alleged government funded findings from 1945-2023. It allegedly examined all the historical documents and conclusions on their major studies of Flying Discs and UFOs dating back to 1945. It appears that the report was a repeat of the false claims the DOD had released relating to classified major studies on unidentified aerial phenomena.
The report contradicts the historical documents that have been authenticated by major UFO researchers and through FOIA releases, and the information in the historical correspondence records. We have been accused of misinterpreting the evidence. However, I feel confident that the original USAF studies documents, correspondence files in prestigious physical archives, Project Blue Book investigations, biographies and public statements by former Project Blue Book Directors, scientists, and evidence of a cover-up by the military intelligence community are not a misinterpretation by pioneering researchers.
My book with renowned UFO researcher Stanton T. Friedman, MSc, Fact, Fiction, and Flying Saucers is footnoted and well documented. We reveal the most compelling UFO evidence, including large-scale scientific studies, the USAF, FBI, CIA, and NSA's involvement, the government scientists whose role it was to deny, and the media's role in disclosure and denial. Read below for a brief look into the content of our book.
Lieutenant General USA Nathan Twining
1952 Director Major Edward J.Ruppelt
Donald Menzel, Ph.D., Harvard Astrophysicist, closely connected government scientist, NSA
Dr. Menzel's disinformation began in 1952, when the CIA made inquiries into the USAF files on UFOs. He met with the Chief of the Directorate of Intelligence Special Study Group under Major General Samford, which included General William Garland.
Dr. Menzel informed the study group that he intended to publish two debunking articles in LOOK and TIME magazines stating that he had solved the UFO problem through a few elementary experiments. The committee refused to support Menzel's cover-up. Menzel claimed that hoaxes play a large part in UFO sightings. General Garland replied, "Only 2%."

Dr. H.P. Robertson, Chief Science Consultant to the CIA
“On the basis of this study, we believe that no objects such as those popularly described as flying saucers have overflown the United States. I feel certain that even the Unknown 3% could have been explained as conventional phenomena or illusions if more complete informational data had been obtained.”

According to Klass, Dr.Hynek is “the spiritual leader of the vocal group of ‘believers’ and ‘kooks’ who claim that we are being visited by extra- terrestrial spaceships…The FBI has given its endorsement to a hoax (that UFOs are of extra-terrestrial origin) and to a fraud.” (Mr. Moore to Mr. Heim)
THE FBI RESPONDS: “Klass was informed that Hynek is a highly respected scientist recognized by all creditable professionals in his field of expertise, who is affiliated with a leading university.“ (Mr. Heim, FBI)
KLASS RESPONDS: “He won’t be for long!”
FBI STATEMENT REGARDING KLASS: “Klass’s attempts to discredit Hynek are totally without foundation. Hynek could scarcely have any better scientific credentials. All of his writings and public statements that were examined prior to his publication disclose a meticulously objective and scientific view of the UFO phenomenon.”
