Alien Abduction Experience and Research (AAER) at www.abduct.com

Wow! Hard to know what else to say. I just read

My head is swimming. Definitely a brain-scrambling event! What to believe? Whom to believe?

Are these guys crazy, or are they actually putting a hole in the "iron (cover-up) curtain?"

Where these books intersect (Bennewitz, Moore) there are slight differences in the history, but the quandary come clear in both: who is telling the truth? And, if someone is, can we handle the truth? Actually the typical reader will be in more of a quandary after reading EfD (Exempt....) because it goes far beyond PB (Beta).....

Here, for the first time anywhere (in publication, as far as I know) are the names and activities of living men who have or have had provable government/military positions and claim to have first hand knowledge of AFC (alien flying craft) and alien technology and alien bodies and... live aliens!

On the first page of the EfD book (pg 3) the reader gets a flavor of the openness of the presentation in the list of names associated to the investigation as it began almost 20 years ago. Some names are recognized immediately, along with their Aviary (bird) names:

Bill Moore - co-author of the Roswell Incident and Jaime Shandara

Two names are less well known (the book authors) Richard Doty (Falcon stand-in) - former intelligence officer in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) at Kirtland AFB Robert Collins (Condor) - former AF Capt. at Wright Patterson AFB in the Foreign Technology Division (FTD).

Three names that are known from a totally different history (deceased):

James J. Angleton -- CIA
Allen Dulles -- CIA (director)
Richard Helms -- CIA (director)

And a name unknown to most UFO investigators: Ernie Kellerstrauss (Hawk)- formerly of the FTD at Wright-Patterson AFB.
Ernie Kellerstrauss? Who ordered him, you say? He is a source for a sizeable fraction of what is in the book. And then a few pages later we find:

Dale Graff (Falcon?) - former DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency)
Kit Green (Blue Jay) - former CIA

Other people play a faint supporting role as compared to that of Doty and Kellerstrauss in terms of providing information that indicates a cover-up. One, of many name(s,) not in the book - except as co-author of the "Inflation..." paper that was published in JBIS used as a reference - is Bruce Maccabee (Seagull).

Exempt from Disclosure (Collins and Doty)

But I have a part of it, small though it may be. I was probably the first person to interview Hawk at length after he was "discovered" by Collins. This was in the Nov-Dec 1985. I met him in Feb 1986. By that time I had from him an amazing story which, however, I now realize was only part of what he, apparently, knew. I also was on the periphery of the Bennewitz saga, having spoken to him once while investigating the Kirtland Landing documents - when I met Doty for the first and last time.

In the following weeks and months I expect this book to stir up a controversy comparable to that over the Roswell case, but with a difference: now there are people who have gone public - and some that have been 'outed' whether they want it or not - so now we will see who has the fortitude to stand behind their claims or will collapse in the barrage of attacks that are sure to come.

But, more on that later. For now, to whet your appetite, just let me say that in this book you will find the back story leading up to the October 1988 TV special, "Cover Up Live," and much more. (It's not just about strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music.)

To get the full understanding of what is coming down the pike I recommend reading both these books.
