UFO retrieval program
The various UFO retrieval programs in the U.S. military and other countries have usually involved alleged crash-landed UFOs are sometimes collectively known as the the UFO retrieval program or "the Program". In terms of what they do, it consists of training for and conducting UFO retrieval.
History edit
The modern U.S. government/intergovernmental UFO crash retrieval cooperative may have began in the Cold War, but UFO crash retrievals have allegedly occurred as early as the 1890s and began in a government-sponsored, organized fashion around the 1940s or 1930s [citation needed], including the alleged recoveries of the Roswell crafts in 1947 and in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania in 1965, and allegedly earlier.
An early attestation of the U.S. government UFO crash retrieval program or unit (or one of them) circa 1961-1963 comes from a second-hand account from Milton William Cooper in the Foreward to Behold a Pale Horse (published 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". [1]
Process edit
In one instance, according to the recounting of the story from "Sgt. Meese" in Behold a Pale Horse, an operation involved the transportation of a saucer so large that it required extensive logistical planning. According to Meese, a team traveled ahead to lower telephone poles and remove fence posts, while another team followed to restore them. The craft was transported exclusively at night to avoid public attention and parked off the road during the day under heavy cover.[1]
