A former military insider with top secret clearance who created Advanced Theoretical Physics -- a group of top-level government officials and scientists brought together to study UFO reports -- has just called on three of the highest-ranking military and intelligence officials in the Obama administration. Retired Army Col. John Alexander has one goal: to ask Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus and National Intelligence Director Gen. James Clapper to offer amnesty to anyone in the military who has been previously sworn to secrecy about UFOs.
Alexander spent a quarter of a century maneuvering through top levels of the U.S. government and military, searching for the supposed decades-long UFO cover-up. Not only could he not find a cover-up, Alexander came away from his investigation convinced UFO disclosure has already occurred on many levels.
Alexander will publicly announce his amnesty request to the government this Thursday, when he appears at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nev.
"I have known people who've seen things they couldn't explain and were very reluctant to talk to anybody about it," Palmer, a highly decorated former Air Force and Navy combat jet fighter, told The Huffington Post. "The reason is because we all had very high-level security clearances," he said. "Just the mention of seeing something that you didn't know or you thought might be a UFO would be enough for a visit with the flight surgeon, if not the psychiatric staff at the base hospital."And that would be reason to pull your security clearance, at least temporarily, which means that you wouldn't be flying and that would be a black mark on an aviator's record. Seeing a UFO show up on your base could be perceived as [your] being unstable. At least as far as retribution or career penalties, if things could be lifted or suspended, that would probably help the process."

My brother saw stuff in the 70's and 80's in Germany during his stint in the US Army. He's related some of it to me. He hesitates to relate it all.
I'm patiently waiting for my cousin, a US Navy Rear Admiral, to retire so I can grill him about stuff. I'm, of course, pretty sure he'll balk and hold back on most, if not all, of the things HE'S seen. But we'll see.
My brother-in-law was on the USS Coral Sea when we were dealing with the Iran Hostage stuff in the late 70's and he's told me some hair-raising stories of his time at sea.
Soldiers told to keep quiet usually tend to do that. It was an order then, why doesn't that order dissolve when the soldier is discharged? I dunno.

Donald Keyhoe
Wiki
Donald Edward Keyhoe (June 20, 1897 - November 29, 1988) was an American Marine Corps naval aviator,[2] writer of many aviation articles and stories in a variety of leading publications, and manager of the promotional tours of aviation pioneers, especially of Charles Lindbergh.
In the 1950s he became well known as an UFO researcher, arguing that the U.S. government should conduct appropriate research in UFO matters, and should release all its UFO files. Jerome Clark writes that "Keyhoe was widely regarded as the leader in the field" of ufology in the 1950s and early-to-mid 1960s

[Alexander's] attitude is "that if you want to enter this field you must understand conspiracy theories, and if you deny it, your part of the cover up"

He also says that "disclosure has already happened"

No i haven't. Those are his claims.Buy his book and read it.
He also claimed that while in the army he didnt find any sign of "conspiracy" whatsoever.
Alexander isn't looking to get the government to reveal that some UFOs may be extraterrestrial craft. He only wants to promote an environment in which members of the military feel comfortable talking about their experiences.
