Review by Joan d’Arc

In Camouflage Through Limited Disclosure, Randy Koppang brings into focus the larger picture and covert human element of the UFO enigma. Juxtaposing the data of two independent UFO investigators - Melinda Leslie and Bill Uhouse - Koppang brings into the equation information strongly incriminating the military industrial complex in the UFO-ET abduction conundrum. As Koppang explains, “Information provided by Uhouse synergizes with the internal logic in Leslie’s evidence for human information retrieval from ET-abductees.” Uhouse was involved in the reverse engineering of ET craft, and Melinda Leslie is a UFO abductee and researcher into the HUMINT (human military intelligence) re-abduction phenomenon.

Koppang also brings in the work of Linda Moulton Howe and New Mexico state representative Andrew Kissner in UFO crash retrieval cases; specifically, radar shoot-down and collection scenarios in the 1940s-50s in New Mexico. Koppang refers to this information as “a set of historical factors,” which “clearly remove any doubt about the fully conscious motives which instituted National Security policies for protecting assets retrieved from the flying disc phenomena.” In other words, as Philip Corso disclosed in The Day After Roswell, the flying discs were defined as hostile and a military policy was implemented to bring them down as “assets” worth “protecting.”

As Bill Uhouse states, “It’s not the U.S. government - it’s a government that’s in a box, that’s separate from the U.S. government - a satellite government.” As Koppang figures, the “cover-up” may not be so much about refusal to officially confirm the presence of extraterrestrials as it is about avoiding publicity regarding manufacture of unconventional craft of ET origin. The ET abduction phenomenon is a human phenomenon as far as this knowledge base is concerned; the HUMINT re-abduction scenario is about culling this information from actual ET abductees. The agenda, Koppang says, is set by the technological advancement goals of a nebulous shadow government, which is tied into global domination via the weaponization of space.

As Koppang effectively elucidates, there’s no way to subtract the role of intelligence from the role of ET data leaks like those of Bill Uhouse and Bob Lazar; but it’s ultimately about damage control. The strategy is “camouflage through limited disclosure,” a term made overt by Colonel Corso, from whom Koppang takes the book’s title. If we were to find out that several saucers during this period of time came down because we shot them down, says Koppang, “these possible facts would entirely change historical connotations of both UFO and conventional post-World War II history.” As he also concludes, these facts would also provide an explanation for the enigma of saucer crashes. Why did they crash at all? The passive phenomenon of “saucer crashes” is Orwellian Newspeak for an aggressive military shoot down policy.

Koppang makes a case for a new paradigm inclusive of an historic ET presence on earth, a presence which has been micromanaged. This book conveys a bigger picture of the ET presence and cover-up than has any UFO book in recent memory. And this might be just what the doctor ordered. As Randy says, we have now amassed nearly sixty years of data on the ET presence. We now need “a different model to explain all the facts about how the public is informed.” The role played by military intelligence, as revealed in Camouflage, begs the question, by whom is this information being managed?
