At this point in the UAP Disclosure (or "Scheduled Dissemination" - Ramirez) Process, what's been missing is a compilation of the key information from the historical and modern-day people with [Security Clearances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_clearance). This repo aims to fill that gap.
Some of the key UAP related reading/listening materials are from Corso, Crain, Elizondo, Davis, Puthoff, Ramirez, Hastings and Hill, Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell (the 6th person on the Moon), a few 1940's-1950's-era memo/report leaks, the declassified Austrialian report, and at least two NY Times articles (one published during the height of the pandemic in 2020, so it was probably missed by most).
I believe this key material, taken as a whole using [Bayesian inference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_inference), tells a reasonably coherent picture of UAP C/R's ("crash recoveries" or "crash retrievals" - NY Times, Puthoff/Davis/Corso/Crain/Mitchell) since the late 40's, and an active R&D (NY Times, Corso, Crain) and "Crash Retrieval Program" (NY Times, Davis, Admiral Wilson/Dr. Mitchell leak) that seeded US industry with "exotic materials" (Corso, Crain, Elizondo) or "retrieved materials" (NY Times).
[Lue Elizondo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Elizondo) was right: "Do yourself a favor and arm yourself with knowledge. Be very careful who you listen [to] and the information that comes out...You know, look into their background."

Dr. Eric Davis: Classified Briefing to the [Senate Armed Services Committee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Committee_on_Armed_Services) - 10/21/19<br>
For some verification, Christopher Mellon (former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense), when asked on CNN if he believed there are "objects in our possession that are from something other than this Earth", replied "that assertion should be taken seriously" (then later said that again). He also said he knew Davis well, and that Trump was considering declassifying information about Roswell.<br>
The Wilson leak aligns with what Dr. Eric Davis has been saying in public: There have been crashes, there's an R&D program, etc. It mentions Dr. Eric W Davis (NIDS).

"Dr. Hal Puthoff Address to the SSE/IRVA Conference, Las Vegas, 8 June 2018" (from @kentbye):<br>
"The third area, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, I have not published anything in. Why? Because the program I was involved in, in the Pentagon and in the intelligence community has been Top Secret, behind-the-scenes and only recently has there been release of information about the program. So this is the first chance that I’ve had a chance to actually appear before the public and speak about details of the program and not go to jail. So I’m going to go along at a rapid clip; I’ve got a lot of information here. So here we go."
Elizondo: "or is it a product of something else, and we think right now, and again let me just preface preliminarily speaking, it's probably just a consequence of the advanced technology", "So no, I think it's fair to say at this point, suffice it to say this is probably not some sort of adversarial technology we're dealing with" Tucker: "Right. It's not human, so we should let that marinate for a minute."<br>

I personally interviewed over the phone James Clarkson in Washington State on the night of 4/8/2022. He is quite sharp and remembers Crain and her testimony very well. He is available for interviews by media/reporters. Just go to his website and contact him by phone or email:<br>

This matches strongly with Corso and Davis, partially with Elizondo, weakly Puthoff, and strongly with the [Admiral Wilson Leak](https://www.theblackvault.com/casefiles/the-admiral-wilson-leak-an-analysis/).
A key 1953 document found by early researcher and computer scientist [Jacques Vallée](https://www.jacquesvallee.net/), which he pushed to get officially declassified. Vallée stated in [The Phenomenon](https://www.amazon.com/Phenomenon-John-Podesta/dp/B08HR9BVNM/ref=sr_1_1) documentary that this document "changed his life". Document was signed by H.C. Cross (Dr. Howard C. Cross) - Director of Exotic Metallergy - [Battelle Memorial Institute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battelle_Memorial_Institute) - US National Labs.
This document demonstrated that the US military took the UAP problem so seriously that they had another independent and secret data collection/analysis program, parallel to the public [Blue Book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Book) program.

If you have any actual "exotic materials" (say, from a crashed UAP) you should contact the TTSA or [To The Stars](https://www.linkedin.com/company/to-the-stars-inc-/about/) folks ASAP. Be sure to get a contract signed before handing over anything. Also note that you should be careful, because Russian and Chinese intelligence will be wanting to get their hands on this strategically important technological astromaterial.

"Numerous associates of the Pentagon program, with high security clearances and decades of involvement with official U.F.O. investigations, told us they were convinced such crashes have occurred, based on their access to classified information. But the retrieved materials themselves, and any data about them, are completely off-limits to anyone without clearances and a need to know."<br>

A significant two hour live special from Washington DC in 1988. Had a live studio audience in [Gulf Breeze, FL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJzLKIqp-3w), a hotspot. Included some classified information (for '88) in the White House organization chart shown at 1:08:23. This special seemed to be trying to suppress a panic. The [Cash-Landrum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash%E2%80%93Landrum_incident) witnesses were interviewed. It had a live telephone survey, asking the audience if Congressional Hearings should take place (the audience voted yes).
"The existence of the Parapsychology Research Unit, and in particular the DIA management of the "weird" division of the Intelligence Community, was still classified as SECRET/NOFORN/WNINTEL according to a FOIA CIA-released STAR GATE review of government parapsychology research dated May 10, 1995."
_This category is the rough equivalent to Corso's "Nut File". This information seems to fit into the very edges of the puzzle. It may be real, or it may be nuts. Can't tell - currently._
This seems too well done/organized for 1954, but still makes for an interesting read. Great [X-COM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOM) material at the minimum.<br>
This book covers screen or false memories. I'm including it because externally induced screen or false memories seem to be occasionally part of the phenomenon, but this could be unrelated.<br>
"ABOVE BLACK - Project Preserve Destiny - An Insider's Account of Alien Contact and Government Coverup", Dan Sherman (USAF, worked for the NSA as an Electronic Intelligence Specialist)<br>
"During his twelve years in service he was recognised for heroism and has been decorated with the AF Commendation Medal, as well as the AF Achievement Medal with two oak leaf clusters and was honoured for service in the Persian Gulf War."
~95% of his book is a vanilla story about working for the USAF/NSA. Very little of the book covers his claimed interactions with NHI's on behalf of the NSA. I have a problem accepting this as "canon" because if it's true the NSA has advanced quite far with NHI communication. Perhaps it was "enhanced" with the NHI comms part to sell copies.
