Many secrets are buried deep in the earth. From a review of Project Beta: The Story Of Paul Bennewitz, National Security And The Creation Of A Modern UFO Myth by Greg Bishop at The-Book-Of-Thoth:

In essence, the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction book relates the fascinating and compelling story of New Mexico-based physicist Paul Bennewitz, who - after stumbling upon Air Force and National Security Agency (NSA) secrets at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, that he believes are connected to the activities of sinister extraterrestrials forces flying around in their UFOs - is literally bombarded (both physically and electronically) with a mass of disinformation, faked stories and outright lies, all carefully provided to him by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) and the NSA, with the express intent of diverting him away from his research and leading him down the rocky path towards mental and psychological collapse.

In reality, what Bennewitz perceived to be alien-connected activities at Kirtland were instead directly linked to a number of distinctly down-to-earth operations, including a new technique for tracking and photographing the movements of Soviet space satellites, a classified communication system developed by the National Security Agency, and the test-flight of prototype, “drone” aircraft.

As Greg carefully and skillfully demonstrates, many of the sacred cornerstones upon which much of today's ufological lore are constructed, had their origins not in the far corners of the galaxy, but in the fertile and imaginative minds of American military intelligence and the behind-the-scenes spook-brigade, who came up with bizarre tale-upon-bizarre tale to divert Bennewitz’s attention away from Kirtland.
