Randall Murphy discuss the aftermath of the long-awaited interview with former Air Force agent Richard Doty. What about his claims that there were two UFO crashes at Roswell and a UFO crash at Aztec, NM several years after one described in Frank Scully’s book? What about his purported involvement in feeding disinformation to Paul Bennewitz to convince him that there was a pending alien invasion? Our trio attempts to make heads, tales and basic sense about Doty’s fascinating stories of his adventures as a government agent. What about his claimed interactions with agents from other agencies, such as NSA? What does it all mean anyway?

Government Dysfunction and the UFO Mystery
By Gene Steinberg
When you listen to our long-awaited interview with former government intelligence agent Rick Doty, you may have cause to wonder. If the military has recovered not one but several crashed spaceships and alien bodies, why is the subject of flying saucers greeted with benign neglect?
Consider Project Blue Book and the agencies that preceded it, which purported to examine UFO sightings. But if we already had evidence of alien visitation, what need would there be to have such a project in the first place? Was it all a matter of misdirection, fooling the public into believing that all the investigation was being done by Blue Book, when it was nothing more than an Air Force front?
Consider the Pentagon UFO study from the early 2000s, about yet another agency examining the subject. Although stories about it have appeared in such prestigious newspapers as The New York Times and Washington Post, there is little discussion of any previous investigation. Project Blue Book is usually forgotten, and it almost seems as if the government ignored UFOs for decades before news of the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was revealed.
Even then, it supposedly went out of business in 2012.
Now I’ve often suggested that the project was formed as a favor to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who arranged to feed some $22 million in government funding to his pal, hotel and space magnate Robert Bigelow.
But why did it fold? Is it possible nothing useful, except for some blurry UFO photos, was discovered? Or maybe, once Senator Reid lost his power base when the Republicans took over the Senate, there was no reason to continue. But that occurred in 2014, so go figure.
Now it’s hard to say whether any other secret UFO projects might be taking place. On possibility, suggested by the Pentagon study, is that black funds were funneled to private industry to manage the UFO secret, making it far more difficult for regular people to discover what was actually occurring.
But when you listen to Doty and his ever-fascinating stories of his journey through the UFO field, you wonder about the impact of chronic agency dysfunction. In speaking of his experiences with Paul Bennewitz, who was purportedly fooled into believing in alien visitors to deflect him from his discovery of a top secret military project, Doty mentions a curious encounter with NSA agents at a nearby home.
He conveys images of a troubling inability of different agencies to work together. The interactions are often punctuated with infighting, turf wars, and efforts to keep rival agencies from knowing the facts about a typical investigation.
This is the sort of behavior you often see depicted on a TV procedural show. It’s all-too-common to observe a local police department fighting with FBI agents over who controls the investigation of a case, and the occasional tricks they foist upon each other to keep evidence close to the vest.
Fictional, yes, but this is the sort of thing that evidently plays out in the real world. Indeed, one reason we were caught flatfooted in the days before the 9/11 terror attack was the alleged inability of the authorities to share evidence of the danger of those pending attacks, the failure to connect the dots, assuming there were no deep-seated conspiracies involved.
Even after the Department of Homeland Security was established, it still appears that the disparate agencies aren’t always talking to one another.
So it may well be that the picture Doty paints of his interactions with fellow — or rival — agencies may be very close to the mark.
But is the failure of the U.S. government to learn anything significant about UFOs the result of not taking it seriously? Is it due to the inability of different agencies to compare notes, and the attempts to keep their own evidence close to the vest?
On the surface, it seems logical enough, until you consider the shortcomings of this theory. If there is solid evidence of alien visitations under deep cover, spread across multiple agencies in the government and perhaps private industry, wouldn’t some of that evidence leak? We’re talking about a secret that has been maintained since the late 1940s, the amazing truth that we are being visited by advanced beings from other planets. Can such secrets be totally maintained?
It is possible that the public UFO studies were all meant to spread disinformation, that some figures in the UFO field are placed there to help preserve the secret by pointing our attention in wrong directions.
When such people as Richard Doty talk of multiple Roswell crashes and other episodes where actual spaceships were recovered, maybe they are still serving the masters of the UFO secret? It is possible, I suppose, that they believe they are acting in the best interests of their country, and may not even know they aren’t telling the truth? By believing their spiel, it seems all the more credible, in the spirit of the best salesperson.
Or is it all a combination of mixing real evidence with fake evidence, thus making it all the more difficult to know what’s really going on?
Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. Why was there a Pentagon UFO study even though genuine evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial flying saucers was already in the possession of the authorities?
This is one of the curious contradictions of the UFO phenomenon that makes it all the more difficult to get a handle on what is really going on. The mixture of myths and facts may continue to hide an incredible truth.
Or maybe it’s all what it seems. The government doesn’t know what’s really going on, and not seeing evidence of a threat to national security, their attention is focused elsewhere. UFO crashes? Maybe it’s still all about faulty test aircraft and applying the UFO legend as a means of deflecting the public’s attention from what really happened.
You can apply the disinformation story any way you wish.
