SUPPORTS
CLAIM-689035reported
“Hall argues that the decline in publicly available Air Force UFO reports after 1953 reflects reporting restrictions rather than a decline in sightings.”
“Hall reproduces portions of Air Force Regulation 200-2 stating that local base commanders could publicly release UFO information only when a sighting had been positively identified, and restricting unauthorized personnel discussions with private organizations.”
