With UFO books it is difficult to know sometimes whether what is written is objective or not. This book, originally released as Clear Intent: The Government Coverup of the Ufo Experience in 1984 draws on information obtained under the freedom of information act. In the introduction, Prof J.A. Hynek, for decades a debunker/disinformation agent for the forces of UFO secrecy, declares: "For the government to continue to maintain that UFOs are nonexistent in the face of the documents already released and of other cogent evidence presented in this book is puerile and in a sense an insult to the American people." That's a bit much to take from Prof Hynek who himself declared in Major Tacker's wretched Flying Saucers And The U. S. Air Force that "almost all of the reports ... can be most logically be identified with misidentification of some object - balloons, birds, aircraft, etc." and elsewhere declared that UFOs were misidentified stars and planets in the sky. Instead of attacking the government he should have taken a look at his own actions perhaps.
Some of the agencies featured in this book: CIA, OSI, NSA, CIC, FBI. Apparently in 1976 the NSA's Information Officer declared that the NSA "does not have Any interest in UFOs in Any manner". This book shows how the CIA leaked out that the NSA is in fact interested in UFOs. Some other topics include OSI interest in the Paul Bennewitz case, the Rendlesham forest incident and CIA infestation of NICAP.
Overall, a well written, ground-breaking classic!
