In the video of, I believe, William Cooper, he mentions your name about 3/4 of the way through.
Do you know this guy? Do you believe along the same lines as him?

dAlen,

Your question almost tempts me to start a website so that I could refer questions like yours. I have answered this question so many times, but no, no website. So here goes again.

In the early winter of 1988 I was posting on the Paranet Forum about aliens and UFO's and Bill Cooper came on and said that he could vouch for much of my material having been in the Navy and been involved in classified briefings.

I invited Bill up to Las Vegas and we exchanged information and became good friends.

He told me that he had been a desk jockey at Pearl Harbor and prepared for the incoming briefing for Flag Rank officers coming into the Pacific Command. The incoming briefing including extensive briefings on UFO’s and aliens. Bill said he had a key to the safe which had those documents inside. He also said that part of his duties were to set up the movie projector with film of UFO’s etc. He claimed that he copied all the briefings but they were all lost in a fire in a garage in Los Angeles many years prior.

I asked Bill to do a George Knapp “On the Record” TV program with me, one of the 3 that I did with George.

Later that year or possibly the next Bill and I were interviewed by the TV news magazine, “PM Magazine” out of Salt Lake City. During this interview which was filmed in my den, Bill made the statement that while in the Navy he had seen the “Krill Papers” and the “Excalibur Document”.

After the camera shut off for a break I hustled Bill out into the living room and told him that what he said was impossible as the “Krill Papers” had been written by John Grace several months earlier and the “Excalibur Document” about an earth penetrating bomb had been written by Bob Lazar a couple of weeks prior to this interview. Both of those I had shown to Bill before the interview.

I felt that Bill had succumbed to UFO disease. UFO disease is a disease you get when you run out of real information but you enjoy the limelight so much that you start making it up.

Bill and I gradually parted company and later he wrote his book.

Bill at one point said that I was a disinformant working directly for the CIA or MJ12 or whatever.

A few years before he was shot to death he called me and apologized and said that he understood that we were both working for the same thing, the Truth.

Bill, his wife Annie and their daughter spent many days with me at my home in Las Vegas. A lot of Bill’s information was correct but a lot was not correct and a lot was speculation.

He was correct about his information on the moon for instance.

Bill went from a desk jockey who set up a projector for UFO briefings for Flag Rank Officers coming into the Pacific Command to “Top Naval Intelligence Officer” in about 3 years. His “UFO” disease was terminal.
