Editing Controlled disclosure (section)

== Overview == 
Proponents of the controlled disclosure theory suggest that figures involved in this practice—referred to as [[controlled disclosure agent]]s—operate under the guidance or coercion of entities seeking to balance public curiosity with operational secrecy. These agents are believed to release partial truths about [[extraterrestrial intelligence]], [[UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena)|UAP]], and related phenomena to the public while simultaneously introducing [[misleading narratives]] to sow doubt or confusion.

Controlled disclosure has been framed as a compromise strategy, allowing limited public knowledge of sensitive topics without revealing the full scope of classified operations or undermining broader efforts to control information.
