The obvious question is whether a former intelligence agent who actively participated in deception programs during his military service continues such a role in private life. More to the point, is Doty contributing to a new deception program in the form of Project Serpo, or is he releasing information in accord with his conscience? The fact that Exempt from Disclosure was published in 2005, shortly before the release of the Project Serpo material in November 2005, points to a synchronicity that may be entirely fortuitous or it may be part of a scheduled release of information in a deception program. Doty describes an officially sanctioned deception program as follows: The government can keep a secret this long by a number of means. One being compartmenting the data within the government, or the _ intelligence community, or they can run deception operations, deceiving the public, or deceiving private UFO groups. They present the groups with faulty information, unbelievable data, which in turn the groups publish, and are then ridiculed. That misinforms the public, and keeps the government information compartmentalized and protected.

Furthermore, Howe witnessed the cancellation of a proposed HBO special on UFOs due to delays in the release of historical film footage that Doty assured Howe was forthcoming. Doty has publicly said that he regrets the actions he performed, but pointed out in his defence that he was under orders and was simply doing his job. In Exempt from Disclosure, he describes the nature of his work as follows: I was also briefed into another very special (third) program that dealt with safeguarding the Air Force's high technology programs. Among the methods used to safeguard these programs was "disinformation". (p. 70) In his statement to UFO Magazine, Doty mentions a Colonel Jack Casey, a retired Air Force Intelligence officer. Doty claims that Casey personally confirmed the Project Serpo information concerning an alien exchange program. Casey claimed that in "1965, twelve US military men were placed on an extraterrestrial spacecraft and flew to an alien planet some 40 light years away". Casey further claimed that the briefing provided by the eight personnel who returned in 1978 is still classified, and that all are now dead. Here, Doty is relating hearsay testimony which he did not personally learn from direct experiences or classified documents. Much of the information released by Doty in Exempt from Disclosure and his statement to UFO Magazine is based on direct personal experiences of "flying saucers", EBEs or classified briefing documents. This body of claims needs to be considered seriously, given Doty's documented background as an AFOSI special agent an Consequently, Doty has verified that the US Air Force disseminates disinformation to UFO researchers who get too close to the truth behind UFOs, and that he actively played a role in this. Also in the book, Doty states that he disagrees with the official secrecy policy and that he believes the public has a right to know about UFOs.
