Former Air Force officer claims UFOs were cover-up in Mirage Men film

Posted by: Maureen Elsberry March 18, 2014

A former Air Force officer claims UFOs were used as a cover-up in the new UFO documentary Mirage Men. The film which originally premiered at select film festivals in June of last year will be available to rent and stream online beginning March 27th.

The movie is based off of the 2010 book Mirage Men: An Adventure into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs by Mark Pilkington, a British journalist and filmmaker. The book asserts that the U.S. military was responsible for planting stories about UFOs to the public in order to conceal secret military projects.

The film centers around Richard Doty, a former Air Force officer who served in the Office of Special Investigation in the 1980s. Doty claims that he fed disinformation about UFOs in order to keep the public from discovering classified secret projects. He also alleges that the government has had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations and that UFOs are extraterrestrial crafts. His alleged disinformation campaign came at the cost of UFO researcher Paul Bennewitz, that account can be found in the October/November 2013 issue of Open Minds magazine...

The quoted material barely covers the surface of Doty's career in and out of the military, the Bennewitz Case and the intent and extent of the activities mentioned. It also contains a major error or two (Doty was not an Air Force officer, nor was using UFO reports to cover secret projects unique to him) and to me at least suggests that knowing some of the background is important in considering what the film has to say. Caveat emptor~ as always.
