If any of my family members worked there, i would be bugging them 24/7 for as much info as possible.
He'll i'd even get them drunk and try and get it out of them.
If you have good communication skills, there are ways of getting info out of people without them giving you a 'direct' answer.
Still there are some interesting stories in this thread.
The people that are actively working in high security installations with Ultra Top Secret clearances tend to protect what they know, and what they do
with literally their very lives. Also, by divulging sensitive information they are putting the individual they relayed such information to at risk.
Keep in mind that there are intelligence agents whose sole purpose is to invasively investigate those with such clearances and to even attempt to
entrap them to reveal such info, thus making them even more paranoid. If their loyalty is ever in doubt they can also be subject to harsh
interrogation techniques and forced to utilize truth detection devices. I have spoken to one individual who stated that they require those with
extremely high clearances to undergo a "Brain Polygraph" which essentially requires the subjects to have their brains actively scanned during
questioning. By doing so they are able to tell with near perfect accuracy if they are being truthful or not. With such an infallible system it would
be tough for them to deny that they did indeed leak sensitive information.
So why would they risk their freedom, or lives or the safety of their families just so they can relay some fantastic information to someone who
probably won't believe them anyways?
In my case, I worked for years with people in the know and have gleaned tidbits of information through social engineering and just getting to know
folks. The information I obtained is broad, nonspecific, and untraceable, nor does it contain any mission critical or ultra sensitive information
that could endanger anyone.
It is the difference between a trustworthy source telling me that we have a moon base and mars base and teleportation VS we have a Moon base at XX
coordinates that is XX sq feet and has XX personnel and is manned XX times of the year and the mars base is located at XX and we work with aliens
from XX that look like XX and are named XX and they use teleportation technology based on XX theories and with these XX engineering specs and it is
produced by XX company and cost XX dollars, etc. Regardless, both types of information are nearly impossible to fully validate and tend to rely on
the trustworthiness of the source.
My sources are careful, and what they say is truthful, although they are very broad, nonspecific, and are sure to not reveal anything that could EVER
be directly traced back to them.
So it is indeed extremely difficult to get specific information from inside the Ultra top secret black world. The most we will ever be privy to will
most likely continue to be chunks of info that lack any real detail or clarity.
