Quote from the article:
“ ‘It is time for the truth to be brought out in open
Congressional hearings...Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are
soberly concerned about the UFOs, but through official secrecy and ridicule,
many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To
hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel.’
—Vice Admiral R. H. Hillenkoetter (Ret.)
Former Director, Central Intelligence Agency
The New York Times, February 28, 1960
Thank you, Admiral Hillenkoetter. I guess we should be
thankful that even one former CIA director chose to be truthful about UFOs
after leaving the agency. But that was nearly 50 years ago, so don’t hold your
breath waiting for the next one. Unfortunately, Hillenkoetter later reversed
himself—under pressure from the agency, according to respected UFO researcher Major
Donald E. Keyhoe (USMC Ret.)—and withdrew his support for congressional
hearings.”
