Ross Coulthart Q&A: 'Disclosure Day' reaction, whistleblowers and Sean Kirkpatrick | Reality Check
"I think largely out of panic that the program was going to be revealed in the 1970s, I suspect largely under Nixon, an order was made to divest itself out of the Department of Energy of possession of craft, and that these were put into the possession of certain private military aerospace contractors."
Coulthart revealed that the U.S. government, likely during the Nixon administration, secretly transferred recovered non-human craft from the Department of Energy to private aerospace contractors to prevent disclosure in the 1970s. He stated no proper legal documentation was created to maintain government control, leading these contractors to now claim legitimate ownership after 50-70 years, which has resulted in criminal acts including murder to protect the secret.
