(See web page http://www.serpo.org/ information.html#1.) Consequently, the strongest support for the Project Serpo story comes from the three individuals who have publicly stated that they learned about it through classified briefing documents: Richard Doty, Paul McGovern and Gene Lakes. All three are former intelligence officials, as are the three others whose hearsay testimony has been attributed to them: Doty's Colonel Jack Casey, Ryan's anonymous Colonel and Ed Doty. Consequently, it is possible to conclude that all may have been co-opted into a covert acclimation program or deception program. Details such as the alleged flight logs, scientific information about Serpo and its binary star system that involves numerous inconsistencies, the anonymous nature of the leaked information and other inconsistencies have raised much scepticism about the material. For example, in my own analysis of the alleged flight logs detailing alleged communications between the EBEs and the human team, I found a number of anomalies that suggest the logs are fictitious (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exopolitics/ message/274). Given the number of insiders who have come forward to support Serpo and/or have communicated anonymously with researchers to confirm Project Serpo, this is a story that has the potential either to "inform" or to "disinform" a great number of people about covert government projects involving EBEs. In short, Project Serpo may be an officially sanctioned acclimation program or deception program orchestrated by the US Defense Intelligence Agency. A third possibility is that Project Serpo is an acclimation program designed to inform us partially about an alleged alien exchange program while sowing disinformation to mislead UFO/exopolitics researchers and the general public who support the ongoing disclosures concerning an alleged planet Serpo, which briefly housed 12 military personnel from 1965 to 1978 in an EBE exchange program. oo McGovern responded similarly: Interesting but not totally correct [commenting on Anonymous's original email]. As for the exchange program: Unauthorized Release of Classified Information, as I see it. But maybe someone currently within — our government wants it out. No females were sent. Twelve men, all military: 8 USAF, 2 US Army and 2 US Navy. Two were doctors; three were scientists; two were language specialists; two were security personnel; two were pilots and one was the leader (Colonel-AF). (See http://www.serpo.org/information. html#1.) Project Serpo may be an officially sanctioned acclimation program or deception program orchestrated by the US Defense Intelligence Agency. Both McGovern and Lakes confirm vital aspects of the program, i.e., it involved 12 male military personnel who travelled to the planet Serpo and lived on Serpo for over a decade, but only eight of them returned to Earth. McGovern and Lakes, along with Richard Doty, are the only individuals who have come forward publicly to confirm the truth of Project Serpo in terms of what they have read in classified briefing documents. In addition, there is the hearsay testimony of three others who claim to have learned about Project Serpo through classified documents. One is Colonel Jack Casey, who confirmed the Serpo case with Richard Doty. Another is an anonymous retired Colonel of 30 years' service, who revealed to a serving Lt Col, known only to Bill Ryan (webmaster of the Project Serpo website), that the Project Serpo information is true. The third is Ed Doty, who allegedly confirmed various aspects of the Project Serpo story. So far, none of these individuals has, or is able to, come forward to confirm publicly what has been ascribed to them or to answer questions. In addition to these insiders' revelations, there are the claims attributed to researchers such as Whitley Strieber and Linda Moulton Howe, both of whom have heard hearsay testimony confirming various aspects of Project Serpo. Finally, there are the two or three anonymous DIA sources responsible for the initial disclosures of Project Serpo, but their credentials and credibility cannot be checked. or deception program orchestrated by the US Defense Intelligence Agency. Anomalies and inconsistencies My overall conclusion is that Doty's statement to UFO Magazine gives the Project Serpo information a boost insofar as he confirms the core story of an alien exchange program that was described in a classified briefing document. Doty's documented involvement in UFO investigations makes his testimony significant, although his ability to repudiate statements he has authored does give some concern about the reliability of his testimony. Project Serpo is also supported in the testimonies of McGovern and Lakes, who apparently also learned of it through classified briefing documents. Nevertheless, their respective careers with the DIA and the DIA affiliations of the two or three anonymous sources responsible for the Project Serpo information do raise the possibility that they are part of a DIA- orchestrated deception program. Despite support for the core story of Serpo from three former insiders who have publicly emerged to confirm its truth based on classified briefing documents, there are many questionable details that raise considerable doubt about the veracity of the Project Serpo material.
