Admiral Hillenkoetter Views on UFOs
Hillenkoetter was a member of NICAP and Donald E. Keyhoe writes
in his book Aliens from Space that Hillenkoetter wanted public
disclosure of UFO evidence. (page 28 in the Dutch translation
of that book) Perhaps Hillenkoetter's best-known statement on the
subject was in 1960 in a letter to Congress, as reported in the
New York Times: "Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force
officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official
secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown
flying objects are nonsense."
Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, Former Director, CIA
"Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control...
It is imperative that we learn where UFO's come from and
what their purpose is..."
