A second-hand account from [[Milton William Cooper]] in the Foreward ''[[Behold a Pale Horse]]'' (in 1991, though he may have circulated the claim as early as 1988 in message boards). Cooper recounted that a couple of sergeants told him "several stories about being attached to a special unit that recovered crashed flying saucers". <ref name="Cooper1991">Cooper, Milton William (1991).
