UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities

Disciplines:
military history
parapsychology

Summary

John Alexander's insider account arguing — against popular belief — that there is no secret government UFO cover-up, but that the phenomenon is real and genuinely mysterious.

Core Contribution

The anti-conspiracy argument from an insider: Alexander, a retired military officer with high-level security clearances, argues he found no evidence of a UFO cover-up despite looking hard. The phenomenon is real (credible witnesses, radar returns, physical effects) but there is no secret program hiding the truth. The 'no consistent government'' thesis: different agencies have different pieces but no one has the whole picture.
