Tony Bragalia is a long-time investigator into the UFO phenomenon. He has spent years chasing the story of a “memory metal” that was recovered at the Roswell UFO crash site. He has found scientists at the Battelle Institute who had worked on a similar project and believes that the inspiration was the metal found on the Roswell debris field in 1947. This led him to make Freedom of Information requests to various agencies including the Pentagon. The result was a number of documents, all classified at the lowest level, that Tony believed was an admission that the Pentagon and the federal government had crash recovered debris. He announced it on his website.
Tony says that he goes where others have not gone in his search for the truth. Because he is not affiliated with any group or organization and self-funds all his work, he is free to make what he terms as bold and uncensored reports. He has been featured in books and magazine articles and has only recently began appearing on radio shows.
John Greenewald began his research and use of FOIA as a teenager interested in UFOs. Now a long-recognized expert in the use of FOIA and a professional who has not only appeared in documentaries about UFOs, but has produced them as well. He is routinely sought by the news media as they search for a rational voice in a field that is sometimes seen as fringe. He is the creator of the Black Vault website that has more than two million documents in its archives.
His efforts over the years have resulted in the declassification of documents that have been long hidden in various government files. Many of his discoveries have provided insight into the way the government has dealt with UFOs and a host of other topics including FBI files kept on UFO researchers and CIA documents that touch on UFOs.
Both Bragalia and Greenewald are at opposite ends of a long perspective about the latest release of the documents. While Bragalia believes the documents prove that extraterrestrial materials have been provided to American industry for reserve engineering and that the answer to one of his FOIA request proves it, Greenewald believes that there was nothing extraordinary in the “document dump,” and the response is typical of the government. I hope that the forum of A Different Perspective will allow us all to slice through the barricade of documents and figure out exactly what it all means.
