HANGAR 18 33 point. The story I had just heard was a contactee tale of the type made notorious by George Adamski in the early Fifties. (Adamski was a self-styled friend of the Venusians; he published two books with obvi- ously faked photographs in support of his claims.) Miller even stated he thought the beings were from Mars or Venus. I had to remind myself I was not hearing this from some pseudomystic in the back room of a New Age bookstore, but from the deputy director of a Pentagon agency who had fought in Normandy and had contrib- uted to liberating my country. I have always had a huge amount of respect for anyone who fought under Patton, and especially for his immediate staff. So I swallowed hard and waited for Miller's next move.

He felt very strongly that such data existed, he said, and that it should be freely discussed with the public and with the scientific community. But he did not indicate that he knew what that alleged evidence was, or where it was located.

I learned that the Defense Audio-Visual Agency had been established by Department of Defense Directive 5040.1 dated June 12, 1979—a text which states that it is "under the direction, authority, and control of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs." It is the organization that employs Colonel Coleman. Scott also told me that he had seen a UFO in 1959 while visiting some land seventy miles north of Phoenix in the company of a psycholo- gist and a photographer. They saw the object for about one minute. Unfortunately, the photographer did not have his camera with him. Echoing the speculation of many ufologists, Scott believed we were visited by several classes of beings. "There aren't only good guys in the
