16 The very first thing the CIA recommends you do if you want to investigate flying saucers is to start a group. See: https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2016-featured-story-archive/how-to-investigate-aflying-saucer.html
17 “It [MUFON] also gave Bigelow Aerospace access to the MUFON Case Management System [CMS].” See: http://www.mufon.com/mufon-history2.html. Much has been written and said about this, but suffice to say that Bigelow Advanced Aerospace Studies (BAAS) paid MUFON for full CMS access and BAAS appeared to investigate the best cases and leads themselves.

24 ‘Disclosure’ as defined by Steven Bassett and the UFO Disclosure movement. The announcement of extraterrestrial life is not the same as the US government coming clean on the so-called truth embargo or the UFO cover up. It will also happen regardless of political lobbying.
