NSA and UFOs : Anyone want to compare notes?

I've spent a reasonable amount of time during the last few years looking into issues regarding the NSA and UFOs.



So far, I have typed up about 100 pages of notes as a start on a thread about NSA documents relating to UFOs and related issues, including relevant individuals (including people that worked, or have claimed to have worked, for the NSA and had/have some involvement in ufology).



While I've created a searchable PDF archive of several collections of NSA documents relating to UFOs (some of those document not being available on the NSA's own website in its section on UFOs...), at the moment I'd just like to check whether anyone has spent any time looking into relevant individuals and would like to compare notes. (I think I've read most material published about these individuals online and in books plus quite a bit of the material on them in UFO magazines/journals/newsletters - so I'm really looking to compare notes on information which adds to that already online or in books...).



Has anyone here covered any of this ground already?



The relevant individuals currently covered in Part I of the relevant draft thread are listed below:

Prominent UFO skeptic Phil Klass wrote a reasonable amount about NSA documentation relating to UFOs and some relevant individuals.



In particular, Klass wrote quite a bit about Todd Zechel (included in Part I4), in:



(1) his book “UFOs – The Public Deceived” (1983) at pages 291-293 (in Chapter 31) of the Prometheus softback edition.





(2) in comments posted in Saucer Smear, such as in the 10th January 2004 issue of Saucer Smear included the following from Phil Klass:

Quote:

"Reference Jerry Clark's e-mail comment to Karl Pflock, it reminds me of Clark's August 1978 comment about Ufologist W. Todd Zechel, in 'UFO Report': 'At this moment in history, it's distinctly possible that W. Todd Zechel is ufology's major figure'. In a letter from Jerry Clark dated September 12th, 1978: 'Those of us who know him personally...know him to be a man of great personal decency and uncompromising integrity.' "Within a year Jerry Clark would drastically revise his assessment of one of the biggest 'conmen' in ufology, as my investigation had revealed. In his letter of July 23rd, 1979, Clark wrote: 'Zechel and I have long since parted ways and for many reasons I no longer consider him an individual of "great personal decency"...' A year later (July 15th, 1980) Clark wrote: 'You and I have disagreed about many things in the past, but you were dead right about Zechel. If I'd listened to you, I'd have saved myself a hell of a lot of heartache...'"

(3) In issues of his "Skeptics UFO Newsletter" which I recently helped get online - see the link below.

(By the way, in another thread on JREF I'm still looking for any other worthwhile skeptical newsletters/journals/magazines which aren't currently online in relation to which it may be possible to obtain permission to have them scanned and uploaded to a free file storage website - so far no-one has made any suggestions at all... - see http://ift.tt/1iJM7gF):







(4) In more detail in various of the "White Papers" privately circulated by Phil Klass. I can share the relevant White Papers by Klass, and the responses by Todd Zechel, with anyone that has an interest in Zechel.
