discreditedclose_encounterWhistleblower Claimants
Dean's claim that a 1964 SHAPE study, 'The Assessment: An Evaluation of a Possible Military Threat to NATO Forces in Europe', concluded Earth was under long-term ET observation but faced no military threat.
Claim: a >8-inch-thick, 15-copy 'Cosmic Top Secret' study he read at SHAPE Operations Centre concluding multiple ET civilizations had observed Earth for millennia; he tied this to govt knowledge since ~1948 post-Roswell. Discredited: SHAPE officially stated it prepared NO UFO report in the 1960s and that the alleged cover page is a forgery; no copy has ever surfaced publicly.
