Top secret to grill top secret

Having never worked for military intelligence, De Void feels like a frog on ice when profiling those who do, or have. All the reading and prep work in the world can’t substitute for the vocabulary of experience. Blow a little jargon in my face, spike with impressive acronyms, and I’m easy, partner. That’s why Don Ecker’s Dark Matters Radio podcast on CyberStationUSA.com could be interesting tonight. Well, depending on where you are; 10 p.m. on the left coast is 1 a.m. Thursday EST.

Last year, as you may recall, retired Army colonel John Alexander published a book that assured readers there was no government coverup of UFO data. He made his case in UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities, and what made it convincing were Alexander’s credentials. Touting ties to the CIA, Los Alamos National Lab, the National Research Council Committee for Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology, plus a top secret security clearance, among other things, the Special Forces veteran spent years attempting to smoke out UFO material — or determine its whereabouts — via classified channels such as special access programs.
His unsuccessful efforts led him to report that our deep black network is just as clueless about UFOs as Joe Q. Rube. Again, if you read Alexander’s book, you’re liable to be impressed with his diligence.
But not Don Ecker, who shares Alexander’s background as a Vietnam veteran with a top-secret security clearance. In Nam, Ecker worked signals intelligence and reported to the old Army Security Agency, which fell under the National Security Agency umbrella. And he doesn’t buy the conclusions in Alexander’s book for a minute. For starters, he cites the 1969 memo from USAF Brig. Gen. C.H. Bolender stating that UFO reports with national security ramifications “are not part of the [public] Blue Book system.”
“Just because somebody has a top secret clearance doesn’t mean you’re automatically read into something. You have to have a need to know,” Ecker says from his home in California. “Alexander may have talked to a lot of important people, but when you have a top secret clearance, as his sources apparently did, that’s their job — to keep things secret. These guys are masters of deflection. My forte is zeroing in on it.”
The retired detective says he plans to question Alexander for two hours tonight. If you miss it, the interview will be archived at dqrm.com. Btw, you may also recall that Ecker left ufology in absolute and understandable disgust in 2007. Between the confabulists, the hucksters, media indifference and the official obfuscation, the former investigative director for UFO Magazine couldn’t take it anymore. At least, not until last year. When he got the itch again and revived Dark Matters Radio.
“Yeah, I know,” he admits, “it’s a little crazy.”
Crazy’s contagious. Obviously.

Hi Don,
Enjoyed Col Alesxander book and think the non leathal weapons concepts are great idea which have been mentioned in the media lately.

Q.1 Did Col Alexander ever talk to the archives people at GHQ or get access to these documents? Also did ever investigate the historical documents of UK & Canada's WW2 M 5, 6,9 etc files regarding incidents at army bases? Also relationship of Cold War covert lines between Canada, Britain & USA during 1950s ? Has all the top secret documents been released from WW2, Cold War?

Cheers,
