A retired USAF intelligence officer admits using any means at his disposal to debunk all UFO sightings reported during his long career, even unexplained sightings.
The officer, Lt. Colonel Dick French, says he is stepping forward now because he's no longer afraid of negative repercussions and because he believes the story will come out anyway.
According to French, the rules against advocating for the possibility of extraterrestrial visits have lessened and too many people now believe in the possibility that life exists elsewhere in the universe and that visitors may have already appeared over the skies of Earth.
For true UFO believers, this doesn't come as a surprise. For decades many supporters of the theory have faced official scorn and pilots in particular have learned to keep their mouths shut if they wanted to continue in their careers.
The interview is very illuminating and bears some serious attention. Are there more government insiders willing to step forward and reveal what they know?
Only time will tell.

But... none of this answers the question of what UFOs are and for the most part, very few have even tried. The course being dead-reckoned on this subject is merely to drag our mainstream science community... even kicking and screaming, into the equation of research and discovery.
As for our government? That's a waste of time.
Not true.
There's no disagreement that the military tried to make the UFO problem go away using the most disingenuous means. Rather, skeptics attack the notion that the government is sitting on positive evidence of alien visitation. If there were a 65-year programme of hiding definitive proof, there would be thousands upon thousands of military and civilian support people who had some useful knowledge of this. We've had very few of these people come forward to make claims in all this time, all of whom have stories but zero confirming evidence. There are some, such as Gordon Cooper and Robert Willingham, who inserted themselves into UFO reports or right out manufactured them. Everyone should start from a position of doubt about these stories until someone can deliver the goods.
BTW, there is a book just out, edited by Dr. Michael Swords and Robert Powell, "UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry." Looks good.
