I had a closed door meeting with the late with the former Senior Noncom in NATO, Robert O. Dean, who died on October 11, was active in UFO research for many years. In the 1960s he read a document called "UFO Assessment: An Evaluation of a Possible Threat" while stationed at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) which transformed his life. While he was never able to produce proof of the existence of this document, Dean insisted for more than 20 years that it was real and contained details of sightings, alien encounters and autopsies of alien bodies.
