 6. Secrecy around UFOs

   Famous American ufologist Leonard
Stringfield is considered the world's leading researcher
expert in the field of UFO disasters and sec-
security around these objects. He wrote
a large number of works, showing all the seriousness
importance of this topic, to which the bulk
people and even ufologists initially treated
very skeptical. In many ways, it is bla-
Thanks to his tireless work in finding in-
formation and witnesses, in one way or another
re faced with government pro-
extraterrestrial technology research framework,
the topic of secrecy around UFOs has occupied a prominent place
place in ufology.

  6.1. "Historic" flight

   Soon after the publication of one of his
the author of the work received a letter from the editor
Just Cause Barry
Greenwood. He sent a copy of the letter, received
given by the editors from a source who
might interest Stringfield. "It's about
Roswell," said the editor.  According to
Stringfield, he at that time belonged to the
Zuell incident with some skepticism
tsism and immediately sent the ufologist a copy and
green light to investigate.

   On January 26, 1989, Stringfield contacted
with a source in the western state and that
almost immediately agreed to cooperate. Pre-
honoring anonymity, he agreed to uk-
rummage underpseudonym "Tim".  Excerpts from
his introductory letter:

I liked this idea, as did Tim,

his flights toB-29 bomber from

   Being bothered by this abnormal
invasion of his privacy, Tim dis-
said another incident in a letter dated July 20-
nya 1990. Part of the letter:

  "My second (suspicious call)

   It seemed like some ominous shadows
circling Tim. Their aim was clouded
but perhaps "Andrea's" call was another
new attempt in terms of bringing into Tim's thoughts
doubt about his role in the Roswell events

(American News Release Syndicate), and fuck-

"magazines" on electronics, including "Alled"

Jacobsen: "You are exactly what we are looking for!"
He said that he would be in Tim's city from 14 to
September 16 to discuss the matter.  "We
we get along very well," said Jacobsen
goodbye.

   On August 21, 1990, Tim wrote to String
letter to Gfield, quoted in part:
