The account
Dolan used declassified documents and the secondary literature to argue that a cover-up grew alongside the Cold War national security system. It is among the most thoroughly referenced cover-up histories.
The sceptical view
Critics say Dolan reads secrecy about military projects as secrecy about aliens and gives weight to dubious sources.
