"I must insist upon full access to discs recovered . . . The Army grabbed one
and would not let us have it for cursory examination."

J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director, 1947 (referring to crash retrieval in New
Mexico desert in July of 1947 and its subsequent security classification)


                                     --------------

"...highly secret government UFO investigations are going on that we don't
know about."

Senator Barry Goldwater

                                     --------------

"In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation
than that thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be
a committee investigation [of the UFO phenomenon]."

Congressman [later President] Gerald Ford, 1966

                                     --------------

"The reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that
must have immediate attention."

H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, CIA;

                                     --------------

universe.  The galaxy may be teeming with life.  There may be millions of
civilizations."

Richard Terrile, Astromomer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory

                                     --------------

"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting
this planet from other planets which obviously are a little more... advanced
than we are..."

Colonel L. Gordon Cooper, Mercury 7 Astronaut (in letter to United Nations,
1978)

                                     --------------

from."

Captain Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, 1971

                                     --------------

"But I do know one thing: the visitors can appear in anybody's life, at any
time.  For all of our sakes, it is time for [the] government to admit what it
knows.  Indeed, it is urgently necessary . . ."

Whitley Strieber

                                     --------------

"It appears to be metallic object... tremendous in size... directly ahead and
slightly above... I am trying to close for a better look."

pursuit of unidentified flying object); January 7, 1948

                                     --------------

"The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States
Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.  Flying saucers exist.  Their
modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small
group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush."

Wilbert Smith, in a formerly classified Canadian government memorandum dated
November 21, 1950

                                     --------------

around."

States Freedom of Information Act in 1976)

                                     --------------

"Through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that
unidentified flying objects are nonsense.  To hide the facts the Air Force
has silenced its personnel."

Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, Former Director, Central Intelligence
Agency; February 28, 1960
