Censorship, Disinformation, and the UFO Narrative: A History from World War II to the Present

To the point

It says governments have long hidden or distorted facts about UFOs through censorship and disinformation from World War II to today, using Roswell and Project Mogul as examples and naming insiders and researchers like Donald Keyhoe, Jacques Vallée, J. Allen Hynek, Linda Moulton Howe, Tom DeLonge, Luis Elizondo, and David Grusch who have helped spread or challenge those myths alongside real programs and incidents.

Across decades, governments allegedly used censorship, counter-intelligence, and disinformation to conceal aerial phenomena, while a cohort of insiders and researchers—Keyhoe, Vallée, Hynek, Howe, Hellyer, Bennewitz, Cooper, Lear, Lazar, Mitchell, Greer, Kean, Puthoff, Davis, DeLonge, Malmgren, Elizondo, and Grusch—assert that deliberate UFO-lore campaigns have circulated amid a web of incidents (Roswell, Project Mogul, the P-59, the Fu-Go campaign, Kecksburg, Malmstrom, the Mirage Men narrative, Majestic 12, and black helicopters) and cultural references (Spies Like Us, The X-Files), illustrating a persistent blur between genuine secrecy and myth.
