These quotes are mentioned in Terry Hansen’s book, The Missing Times – News Media Complicity in
the UFO Cover-up.
“CHAPTER ONE: Project Blue Book and the UFO Story.13”
“Our policy on releasing information was to answer
only direct questions from the press. If the press didn't know about a given
UFO incident, they naturally couldn't ask questions about it. Consequently such
stories were never released. In other instances, when the particulars of a UFO
sighting were released, they were only the bare facts about what was reported.
Any additional information that might have been developed during later
investigations and analyses was not released.”
(The Missing
Times (Page 163))
“CHAPTER TWELVE: 164.The Report on Unidentified Flying
Objects”
“…, I knew that this was absurd because any ham radio
operator worth his salt could build equipment and listen in on any intercept.
The real reason for the press dismissal, I learned, was that not a few people
in the radar room were positive that this night would be the big night in UFO
history – the night when a pilot would close in on and get a good look at a UFO
and they didn't want the press to be in on it.”
(The Missing
Times (Page 161))
