Billy Cox Admiral Never Looked For Ufo Data

The usual lies, cover-ups and obsturfications. UFO writer Billy Cox writes about Edgar Mitchell, Dr. Stephen Greer and retired Rear Admiral Thomas R. Wilson in Admiral: Never Looked for UFO Data. Someone's not telling the truth... how unusual in these situations!

In this piece by Billy Cox, it turns out that (allegedly -- all allegedly dahlings) Edgar Mitchell and Dr. Stephen Greer insist ex-admiral Wilson met a looming stone wall when he tried to access UFO info when he was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Wilson denies not only banging into said wall, but bothering to look for UFO info in the first place. According to Wilson, the UFO issue wasn't that interesting. Wilson agrees he met with Greer and Mitchell,denies looking for any information on covert UFO projects:

"What is true is that I met with them," Wilson said in a phone interview. "What is not true is that I was denied access to this material, because I didn't pursue it. I may have left it open with them, but it was not especially compelling, not compelling enough to waste my staff's time to go looking for it."

We'll probably never know who's telling the truth. Does it matter? This particular little episode doesn't prove or disprove anything in the way of UFO truthiness. Conspiracies, lies, cover-ups, black projects, disinformation, misinformation, all have happened, continue to happen... neither Greer or Mitchell are changing their story. Neither is Wilson.

I do find this curious: Wilson did say he had "a certain amount of curiosity" about allegations of deep-black UFO projects. But not enough curiosity, I gather. Nor was it "compelling" enough:

may have left it open with them, but it was not especially compelling, not compelling enough to waste my staff's time to go looking for it."

So, the idea of deep and possibly rogue UFO projects was a curious thing, but not enough to investigate. He "may have (italics mine) left it open" but isn't sure. But, in the end, none of it was "curious" enough -- certainly not suspicious, even with all the implications inherent in the idea of UFO technology, black budgets, rogue operations, defense, national security, science, and the like.

My instinct tells me Mitchell and Greer are telling the truth, and the dear Admiral has changed his story. After all, he wants to disassociate himself from the whole thing, either because he really knows the truth about UFOs (ta dah!) and that's his job -- to keep it from the rest of us. Or, he thinks it's all very silly, and thought so back then. After all he has a new job with an unnamed defense contractor and it probably doesn't do him any good to be subjected to UFO nonsense while he's trying to do Very Important Things. (Then again, maybe those Very Important Things have to do with UFOs, and black semiprivate defense contractor projects, and... don't you love it when we tumble down the rabbit hole?)

I have an automatic distrust of authority, military bigwigs and industrial military complex uber-corporations,so I like my theory best. But I will acknowledge it's also possible the ex-Admiral is telling the truth, and Mitchell and Greer aren't backing down because they'd be embarrassed if they did; after all, they said one thing, now they have to back up and say they were, what? Exaggerating? Embroidering, embellishing,... being theatrical? Lying?

Hmmm, put that way, that seems a bit much. I don' think so. The ex-admiral is no doubt covering up in grand brusque disinformational style.
