Rumors of a secretive government investigation into UFO phenomena have been around for decades. In 2006, STARstream Research issued a press release, confirming the existence of what had been called the UFO Working Group.
Now, with the publication of his new book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, Colonel John B. Alexander (retired) has gone on the record, verifying information previously reported by STARpod.org.
According to Colonel Alexander's testimony, "With help from a few other researchers we initiated the ATP (Advanced Theoretical Physics) project specifically to examine issues regarding UFOs, and what role the Department of Defense (DoD) might be playing...This was a small internal group drawn from the government and aerospace industry, all of whom were interested in the topic."
