Two former Air Force officers who were part of the infamous Project Blue Book -- the military's official UFO investigation in the 1950s and '60s -- and a former investigator with Britain's Ministry of Defense were among the panel of speakers for a program entitled "Military UFOs: Secrets Revealed."
"I've heard many people say that it's time for the government to appoint an agency to investigate," Halt said. "Folks, there is an agency, a very close-held, compartmentalized agency that's been investigating this for years, and there's a very active role played by many of our intelligence agencies that probably don't even know the details of what happens once they collect the data and forward it. It's kind of scary, isn't it?
"In the last couple of years, the British have released a ton of information, but has anybody ever seen what their conclusions were or heard anything about Bentwaters officially? When the documents were released, the timeframe when I was involved in the incident is missing -- it's gone missing. Nothing else is missing," he said.
Making a rare public appearance was retired Air Force Col. Bill Coleman, the former chief spokesman for Project Blue Book between 1961 and 1963.
"We were moving at maximum continuous power for the B-25, about 300 miles an hour, and we got right down to the treetops and I closed in on it very rapidly. I said I was going to overtake it -- 'Hang on and put your seat belts on' -- and I made a hard 90-degree bank to try and pull up alongside of [the UFO] and it wasn't there. "I zoomed up about 1,500 feet, and then I could see the object right on the deck over a freshly plowed field moving at a pretty good speed, and it [was trailing] two vortexes." When Coleman dove behind the trees to try and "head him off at the pass," the UFO was gone. He said it was a typically reported flying saucer.
During the time that Coleman was the Project Blue Book spokesman, the director of the Air Force study was Col. Bob Friend. He disagreed with the Air Force's negative conclusions about UFOs in 1969.
"My primary explanation for these things is that, yes, they're real, and I think it would be much better if the government or some other agency was to take on these things and to pursue the scientific aspects of it," Friend said.
"UFO sightings are real, and you will not be ridiculed by any honest organization that investigates it. Just come forward, quote your case and allow people to investigate what they can to make some determination about what it is that you've seen. In the future, just remember that we're on your side."
Another UFO lecture panelist, retired Army Col. John Alexander, was a former military insider who convened a special group in the 1980s called the Advanced Theoretical Physics Group, whose members were culled from the military services and the aerospace and intelligence communities. They concluded that while there had been numerous cases of credible UFO encounters, the group couldn't find any evidence of any actual government cover-up. Alexander cited a variety of intriguing UFO cases involving pilots and told the audience that UFOs are "real and is a global phenomenon -- not something that just happens in the U.S.

Shortly after all of the speakers made their comments and gave their stories, the crowd questioned the speakers, and many people departed with a feeling that they were left with more questions than answers.

Just what I thought, nothing really happened. I was kinda waiting for some info on this alleged "September ufo disclosure".well... another silly attempt to make some dollars. Im really starting to believe there will never be any disclosure. If any aliens really made contact they probably dissected, tortured and raped them to death so they will be too scared we will find that out and keep it secret for ever. I hope the ET, if their really out there just disclose themselves on their own. Our Gov. can´t be trusted anyway so wth---

If anyone is interested, here is the audio of Colonel Charles Halt from the scene of the "Rendlesham Forest" incident:
Rendlesham Forest/Colonel Halt's full recording released
I am not a big believer in aliens but there ARE things (ufos) we cannot explain. I've seen "something" myself in the deepest part of the Welsh forests. The only thing humanly related to it was the fact that "I" saw it.
I'm also not surprised Mr Halt is still involved with investigations and reports, that event would have anyone hooked if they were actually there.

Seems to be the nature of the beast eh?
If you want discolsure then here it is.
The governments of the world ABSOLUTELY ARE involved in not just A cover-up but the single biggest cover-up in the entire history of mankind. Only the people at the tippy top are aware of the nature and reason FOR the cover-up and everyone else is "just following orders".
The nature of the cover-up is that the leaders (the real leaders...behind the curtain) are giving consent on behalf of humanity for them to be here. They are under the strictest of orders to keep their presence top secret.
In exchange for this THEY are given access to technology which is ultimately going to give our leaders more power over us, and even more ultimately going to give the Aliens the ability to enslave us.
In the end, we are really enslaving ourselves, and they knew we would.
We are enslaving ourselves with technology that was made possible by????
Them!

The rendlesham forest incident looks like another lie because you see, the Nazi technology is times more likley the case than aliens flying around every day. Now t echnology derived from ancient ideas or some say - Hitler has met aliens? Hard to confirm that but Nazi technology seems more of an answeredit on 25-9-2012 by Imtor because: (no reason given)
