Worried,
but
still
anticipating,
we
come
to
the
bottom
line:
Scott
has
to
confess
to
ufologists,
Chinese,
American
or
whatever,
that
he
"...honestly
did
not
know
of
any
activity
of
the
U.S.
government"
in
the
field
of
UFOs
(page
176).
This
statement
should
be
received
with amusement
by
ufologists.
Two
credible
books
have
been written
about
the
massive
documentation
that
has
been
uncovered,
through
the
Freedom

(FOIA)
and
other
sources,
detailing
covert
federal

The
following
are
a
few
well
known examples
of
"activity
of
the
U.S.
Government"
in
the
field
of
UFOs.
Despite
his
repeated
claims
of
ignorance,

some
of
these
cases.
William
L.
Moore
A ubiquitous
character
in
this
continuing
saga
is
one
William
L.
Moore,
a
former
Minnesota
school
teacher
and
co-author
of
The
Philadelphi a
ExReriment
(Berlitz
and
Moore,
1979)
and
The
Ros wel l
Incid ent
(Berlitz
and
Moore,
1980).
In
fact
it
was
Moore who
sparked
the
intense
interest
in
the
now celebrated
Roswell
incident.
Moore's
name
is
also well
known
in
relation
to
Richard
Doty,
Jaime
Shandera
,
MJ- 1 2
,
Paul
Bennewitz,
and
Lee
Graham,
and

o
our
favorite
"know-nothing"
for
some
years.
In
the
June
1989
issue
of
the
MUFOH UFO
Journal,
Robert
Hastings
published
a blistering
attack
on
the
credibility
of
William Moore.
A
few months
later,
in
a
speech
delivered
to
an
astonished
audience
at
the
1989 MUF0M
Symposium,
Moore
admitted
to
a
long
career
as
a
"controlled
informant"
to
the
U.S.
Government.
Further,
in
the
same amazing
talk,
Moore
admitted
to
having
deceived
a
number
of
people.
The
ensuing
uproar
has
yet
to
subside,
and
in
a
recent
interview Moore
admitted
to
still
being
a
controlled
informant
(UFO,
1992
V o 1

llo.

In
his
1991
Omega
Conference
talk,
Jones
echoed
some
of
the
themes
of
Moore's
1989 MUFOH spectacle.
Jones
spoke

discouragingly
of
the
use
of
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
and
in
one
of
his
parenthetical
remarks,
he
spoke
of
Moore
with
approbation.
In
fact,
only
two
other
ufologists,
Professor
Michael
Swords
and
conference
organizer
John
White,
were
mentioned
in
the
entire
speech.
Shortly
^ fter
his
remarks
about
Moore,
Jones
again proclaimed
that
he
"quite honestly.
. .didn't
have
the vaguest
idea
of
what
the
government
was
doing"
in
the
field
of
UFOs.
Sergeant
Richard
Doty
One
of
Moore's
long-time
buddies
is
Sergeant
Richard
Doty,
with
whom
he
is
now
advertising
a co-authored
forthcoming
book.
Doty
was
formerly
a
special
agent
wi
the
Air
Force
Office
of
Special
Investigations
(AFOSI)
assigned
to
Kirtland
Air
Force
Base
in Albuquerque.
Hastings’
1989
paper
makes
a
strong
case
that
Doty
was
involved
in
fabricating
a
UFO
report
delivered
to
the
_
civilian
Aerial
Phenomena
Research organization
(APRO)
in
1980
.
Linda
M.
Howe,
a
television
journalist
known
for
her
work
on
cattle
mutilations,
was
invited
to
Kirtland
AFB
in
1983
by
Doty.
At
the
time,
she
was working
on
a
documentary
on
UFOs.
During
her
visit,
Doty
showed
her
what
he
claime
were briefing
documents
prepared
for
the
president
of
the
United
States
and
which discussed crashed
saucers
and
recovered
bodies
of
ETs
(UFO Universe
July
1988).
Doty
promised
movie
footage would
be
provided
later.
But
the
footage
never
arrived,
and
Howe's documentary
was
cancelle
,
which
Howe
now
suspects
was
the
intended
purpose
of
offering
her
the
"bait."
Howe
produced
a
sworn
statement
describing
her
meeting
with
Doty.
He
later
denied
the
incident,
but m
an
apparently
unrelated
matter,
Doty’s honesty
was
questioned
by
the military
and
he
flunked
a
lie
detector
test,
thus
casting
further
doubt
on
Doty’s
integrity
(Skeptics
UFO
.
newslett er
,
January
1991).
There
is
every
reason
to believe
Howe's
account.
Jacques
Vallee
( Revelations
)
reports
that Moore
now
claims
that
Doty worked
for
an
Officer
Hennessey,
based
at
the
Bolling
AFB Headquarters
of
AFOSI
(the
name
"Hennessey
also
arises
in
the
case
of
Lee
Graham,
described
below).
Captain
Robert
Collins
But
Richard
Doty
is
not
the
only
person
on
Kirtland
AFB
to
take
part
in
these
shenanigans.
In
November
1987
Captain
Collins
arranged
a
meeting
with Linda
Howe,
which
was
also
attended
by
John
Lear,
a
former
employee
of
a
CIA
front
called
Air
America,
the
son
of
the
famous
inventor
Bill
Lear
(the
car

the
Lear
jet),
and

Legislature
in
Nevada.
Lear
has
also
been
a
primary
source
for
stories
claiming
that
there
are
vast
underground
bases
in
the
Southwest
populated
by
aliens
carrying
out
grotesque
biological
experiments
using
humans,
all
with
the
approval
and connivance
of
the
U.S.
Government.
At
the
meeting,
Collins
presented
Howe
and
Lear
with
documents
concerning
MJ-12
and
an
alien
held
captive
by
the
government.
According
to
Howe’s
affidavit,
Collins
spoke
of
having
worked
"behind
the
scenes"
for
many
years
with William
Moore
This
is
quite
extraordinary
activity
on
the
part
of
Doty
and
Collins,
and
much
of
it
took place
on
government
property
over
a
period
of
years.
Some
skeptics
have
suggested
that
the
Doty-Collins
activities
were
simply
the
private
hobby
of
a
couple
of
renegades.
If
so,
Jones
shoul
certainly
be
in
a
position
to
clear
the
air
on
this.
Indeed,
even
Philip
Klass
has
uncovered
government
information
on
Doty.
But
despite
Jones'
"honest"
ignorance
of
the
"activity
of
the
U.S.
government"
he
met
with Moore
and
Doty
while
in
the
employ
of
Senator
Pell
(UFO,
1992,
Vol.
7,
No.
1).
But
he
has
refused
to
discuss
the
matter
with credible
investigators.
Whatever
the
ultimate
reason
for
the
Doty-Collins
activities,
the
effect
has
been
to
waste
an
immense
amount
of
the
time,
energy
and
money
of
UFO
researchers
Lear
has
often
stated
that
he
obtains
his
data
about
underground
bases,
etc.,
from
"intelligence
sources."

Moore's
colleague,
Jaime
Shandera,
a
television
producer,
claims
to
have
received
a
roll
of

in mid-December

document
purporting
to
describe
a

recovered
by

suggested
that

that
