In reply to the discussion: CIA admits to being responsible for at least half of UFO sightings in the 50s and 60s [View all]Bjorn Against
(12,041 posts)240. So I did some research and found evidence that there was no General Bruno Lemoine in the Air Force

Can you prove this person who you have been citing as a credible source even exists?
