The account
Pilkington examines the Bennewitz affair, Richard Doty and the MJ-12 papers, and argues that agencies used UFO lore to protect secret projects. It was later made into a documentary film.
The sceptical view
Much of the story rests on the word of figures such as Doty, who are self-confessed disinformers.
