answer:My first job out of college, clutching a BA w. a concentration in Astronomy (a weak degree), was to work for an Astronomer at Harvard, who was hired by the USAF to investigate UFO sitings. As his assistant and general dogsbody, I went on these interviews w. him. A whole lot of fowl lit by moonlight, airplanes behind wispy clouds, meteorites, aurorae and several old ladies who seemed to drink far too much ******. I was casually allowed to read dozens of documents stamped w. “Secret” or “Top Security” altho I had never been cleared. No legitimate sitings in that batch. However, I was interested that the Air Force did fork over a salary to this guy in order to check things out.. The guy, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, was the technical advisor for Strange Encounters of the Third Kind, whatever credibilty that gave him.
