I am a Producer on the History Channel show "UFO FILES". We have an episode being created right now about the legendary Hangar 18 and the UFO connection to Wright-Patterson AFB, and when I saw Robert Collins' book "Exempt from Disclosure", I knew that I had to have him on my show. This book is filled with a conspiracy dream: hidden underground bunkers, cryogenic storage of aliens, UFO wreckage, etc. etc. etc. ... and he backs as much of it up with stories from people who were actually in these facilities. His tales of Richard Doty and what he saw under the AFB can only be understood by someone who has read it, and I was fortunate enough to have the chance. In fact, we based the 3D models of the underground vaults that we used in the show on the drawings and information that Collins provides within the book. A great source of information for anyone looking to understand how the gov't could potentially have housed any crashed or captured crafts.

I cannot recommend this highly enough for anyone who has an extreme interest in what happens to UFOs once they crash. Collins takes a great deal of personal risks in even publishing this and I think he should be commended. If you are just starting reading about UFOs, you may want to read a few other books before you tackle this badboy, but keep it on your list for eventual reads. Remember, it is EXTREMELY important to reward people who stick their neck out to bring us this type of book. Buying a book like this sends out a signal to people like Collins to continue his research, fix the errors in the mythology of UFOs and open your mind to the possibility that we are not alone.

I wanted to add one thing to this review. Our TV show (UFO Files: Hangar 18) featured only one currently available book for reference and that was this volume. I've had many people tell me that once the show aired (and it has aired many times), they sought out Collin's book because of the information we profiled and they were intrigued by it's contents. I hope he comes out with further updates and books on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insight into the genuine UFO people, plans, and records, July 22, 2006

This review is from: The Black World of UFOs: Exempt from Disclosure (Paperback)

The title is telling for this amazing revelation of detailed records of our historical involvement in the crash recovery and extraterrestrial biological entity interaction program. The author is Robert Collins, a retired Air Force intelligence officer formerly with the Foreign Technology Division. Included are intimate insights into the activities of Angleton, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and Richard Doty, one of the key contributors, as an Air Force Counterintelligence agent telling his story. This book provides a complete list of the "birds", people involved in digging for the truth in the 1980s. Quite remarkable is the relative detail about the physical configurations of the facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base used allegedly in handling aliens and artifacts. Also, Los Alamos National Laboratory involvement with aliens and especially the reverse engineering is described in unexpected detail, including some specific design information about an alien energy device. Detailed description of at least one type of alien is included. Supportive document copies and testimony of key security personnel enhance the credibility. Both the UFO researcher and the ordinary citizen need to read this book, because the evidence suggests that a major fraction of the reported history, although not rigorously proven, is exactly correct.

Review for: EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE
J. Smith
[edited/rewritten by Victor Martinez]


This book was a lot of fun to read. It covers the history of the famous
'Aviary,' a group of men with various specialized backgrounds and skills
who attempted to cooperate with anonymous government officials who
supposedly wanted to make certain 'disclosures' about alien life forms
on Earth, and who were allegedly cooperating with our government.

The book has a few grammar errors in it, but the important issue is the
credibility of the main sources of the book. These sources worked at Los
Alamos National Labs [LANL], Kirtland AFB, Wright-Patterson AFB, and
Area 51 in Nevada.

Author Robert Collins does not claim that all of the statements and what
he surmises in the book are true and factual, but instead that he has
made a good faith attempt to ferret out the obvious fantasy, folklore
and urban legend, and maintain those statements and claims that are
worthy of further investigatory pursuit under the deliberative process.

He would probably agree with the statement(s), "The truth is out
there.." or, "The truth is in there . somewhere."

There has been much confusion and controversy about the subjects
presented in the book due some material being unsubtantiated. Collins is
counting on pulling together the stories of the actual players (and the
second hand statements of people who knew them) wherever possible,
knowing that time is passing and so are the fading memories of the
original witnesses to the events described therein.

Furthermore, the community that brought the book together is drifting
apart, so unless new avenues of revelation are forthcoming, the time to
write such a book is rapidly closing.

I enjoyed reading it very much and strongly recommend it to others as
well and that they make "Exempt From Disclosure" a valued addition to
their UFO/New Age library.
