Ha. Like the guy in Close Encounters of the Third Kind who proclaims he saw Bigfoot and the two little boys smile at each other, I think the Bigfoot talk is a distraction meant to reduce acceptance of UFO possibilities.
It has been cited by researchers as well as seen in documentary “unknown” series TV shows, that Harry Truman was so worried about the effects of the revelations he saw that he immediately clamped down on citizens’ access to government information and started a group called the Central Intelligence Agency to handle the information.
One aspect President Truman ok’d was deliberate false information and getting Hollywood to push flying saucers and little green men in movies in order to make a joke out of people’s reporting to the government of what they saw. Made it a laughing stock. The CIA was one of the groups Truman tasked with that.
Yep. The Roswell incident happened, a few months later the CIA was formed.
UFOs flew over Washington DC from July 12 to 29, 1952. A few months later the NSA was formed, with a classified charter.
