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, 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, 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>
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 Presentation & Q&A - he mentions C/R or the phrase "Crash Retrievals" twice, the new R&D program, DIA DIRD's, also has worked with Davis at EarthTech<br>

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.
"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>
"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.
