Anonymous is telling the truth.

2 December
[This information, reported verbatim below, was supplied to Bill Ryan personally by an active duty Air Force Lieutenant Colonel assigned to the Pentagon. I (BR) have been in correspondence with him on a number of topics and have found him to be measured, intelligent, thorough, reliable and honest, as well as being a most pleasant and decent man. He wishes his name to be withheld but would like this new information to be made known.
The correspondent's friend, referred to below, is a retired Air Force Colonel, who worked in Air Force Intelligence for 33 years (a later correction of the estimated figure of 30 years as originally stated).]
Yesterday, I visited an old retired USAF Colonel. This Colonel had served 30 years in USAF Intelligence. I don't know his exact time frame but it was sometime around 1955 to 1985. I have been friends with this Colonel for about five years. His son, who is also my friend, serves in my unit. Because of his extensive intelligence time, I wanted to run all this past him to see if he might know something about the information being released by Victor. The Colonel doesn't have email so I printed all the information from Anonymous and provided him a copy. I watched him read the most current email, one with all the postings. I watched his eyes and facial expressions. After he was finished, he stated, "Oh my God, who on this Earth would release such classified material"? I then asked him if all this information was real. His simple answer was, "yes, all real". I then asked the Colonel if he had been involved with this project. He said, yes, he was involved in the communications aspect of this operation from about 1961 until 1965. He was also on the debriefing team. He wouldn't provide too much information, saying that unless he saw that all information was declassified, he could not comment on details. I thanked him and left.
I was startled, to say the least. Wow, this is actually true. I always thought some of it was true but I had some doubts about details that have been released.
We may just be on the Verge of a major release of information about the most important part of our History.

Could be, should be, just let the man tell his story...speculation, speculation!

Perhaps someone with a good knowledge of security clearances and military procedures could answer the following questions. How should have this alleged Colonel have responded, if he was actually presented with Anon's postings. Would he have been able to verify that it's real, but not give further details? Should he have simply denied any knowledge of the subject? In other words, how should this person have responded, if they were actually involved in the project? Next, is it unreasonable to believe that despite how this person should have responded to the information, that they may have responded as reported? How credible is this response, in terms of the way it's reported?
