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.

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.

I have never worked for the government or anything special that might have made me privy to any classified information. I'm just a curious UFO inquirer like most readers. I have seen spectacular objects in the sky that fly higher, faster and outmaneuver anything that could possibly originate from this planet. My first sighting was in the 1960's along the Hudson River in New York State, very late at night. It was so incredible, I've been hooked ever since. Now at last, "Exempt From Disclosure", the book I've been waiting for has arrived. After all these years a credible source has dared to come forward and present the facts unembellished by conjecture and speculation. My thanks, respect and admiration to Robert M. Collins and the contributers of this book for their candid presentation and no doubt, bravery in putting this information out there for us.

I have known Bob Collins for several years. He has proven to be an intelligent, trustworthy, patriot of our nation with his associates, Richard Doty and Timothy Cooper.
This book "Exempt from Disclosure", second edition, has further substantiated his initial book by the same title with astounding new revelations. Especially those revealing the exchange of earthlings for aliens from other planetary systems. YES, our stellar exchange "students" for THEIR stellar exchange
"students", called, EBE-1 and 2 from a star, named Zeta Reticuli I & II.
What allows me to endorse this book?? I have been deeply involved with UFO's, aliens sighting events since 1947. As the former Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena Unit-3 at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, during my career, 1958 to 1992.
With this book, you will learn what newspapers are NOT permitted to print - - the TRUTH!!

Robert Collins' book - "Exempt From Disclosure" - is a wonderful insider's look at the world of UFO's, aliens, technology and the hidden secrets of our government. It is not a book for someone just starting to pique their interest in this subject matter as it is written on an advanced level; which for me was great as it is not stuffed with "fluff" and intro material I've already read dozens of times. Of particular interest to me were the sections on the alien energy device and the reverse engineering happening today at the Z-Division of Los Alamos. However it is full of information for even the experienced UFO buff and/or investigator as I am sure that everyone will find new information, background material and data you most likely have never seen before. I now keep this book on my desktop right next to Timothy Good's "Above Top Secret" for easy reference! You should too!

"Exempt from Disclosure"
By Robert M. Collins
With Richard C. Doty and Timothy S. Cooper


It was in 1977, with the release of Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind," that the general public was given the first hints of a possible US Government-ET "student exchange program" between visiting extraterrestrials and the USG. As depicted in the film, 12 or so super-soldiers/super-airmen and a woman, dressed in red flight suits, received a blessing before departing on the mother ship with the ETs and others to visit an unnamed planet, the home planet of the alien race:

"For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways" (Psalm 91:11)

This was my first inkling that something very unusual was really going on and that Steven Spielberg had been "chosen" to be a messenger of "UFO Disclosure" through the medium of public entertainment.

The idea was not new (rumors were around even then) but I was surprised at the mass medium chosen to divulge what must be considered the so-called "Cosmic Top Secret" (CTS). This slow, (one might say "time released") limited disclosure of the CTS had, in fact, been predicted by the great UFOlogist, Frank Edwards, during an interview that I saw as a high school student in 1967 on the legendary "Alan Burke Show" broadcast by WNEW-TV in New York City.

Edwards, author of "Flying Saucers - Serious Business" told his host, the erudite and sometimes acerbic Alan Burke, that he had learned of a Flying Saucer disclosure process to be implemented by the CIA in 7-year cycles, whereby the USG would reveal the extraterrestrial presence to the American public gradually through a series of books and, more importantly, films and television programs that would acclimate the general public, America first then the rest of the world, to prepare them for a paradigm shift that would begin in the late 1960s and 1970s.

This limited disclosure would come through mass media, depicting the nature of the alien presence slowly in order to avoid the repetition of another Orson Wells-style "War of the World" panic on a mass or global scale. As the years went by, Frank Edwards' prediction seemed to unfold like a self-fulfilling prophecy and right on schedule, according to his 7-year cycle schematic (beginning in 1969-70). Interestingly, the year 1977 marked the release of both "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind," almost like a "one-two punch" to the national psyche of the American people and, shortly thereafter, the rest of the world. It's effect on the public, like Spielberg's 5-part special "Taken" (released by the Sci-Fi Channel in 2005) was stunning.

Now, 2007, 30 years after Frank Edwards' prediction, "Exempt From Disclosure" (EFD 2nd Edition), written by retired U.S. Air Force Captain Robert M. Collins (former member of U.S. Air Force Intelligence-Foreign Technology Division) with Master Sgt. Richard C. Doty (former member of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, a.k.a. AFOSI) and Timothy S. Cooper, reveals details of the cryptic "student exchange program" (my term) referred to above in my introduction. According to Capt. Collins, it was called "Project Serpo," details of which are given in the final chapter.

I have been reading EFD slowly and methodically for the past month and have found it to be a remarkable account, supported by FOIA documents, several of which I have cross-correlated and corroborated with my own sources (from other FOIA released Blue Book/CIA/FBI files), which I have collected over a many years of researching both "Flying Saucers/UFOs" and arcane aspects of the John F. Kennedy Assassination.

During the course of the past 2 months, I have been in close contact with the principal author, Captain Robert M. Collins (USAF, Ret.), and have found him to be candid and direct in answering important questions, which I have posed to him during our almost daily, multiple exchanges of emails. In replying to all the questions that I posed to him, he has replied forthrightly. I have found no guile or trickery in him.

Through independent investigation (unbeknownst to him), I discovered 2 papers authored by "Captain Robert M. Collins (TQTR)" dealing with advanced aspects of Quantum Physics and Scalar Fields. When I asked Captl Collins if he had authored them and the meaning of the acronym (TQTR), he acknowledged authorship and without the slightest hesitation, responded:

"YES...both articles are by me...Rmc"

M* Question: If you are the same man, what is "TQTR"?

Collins: "Advanced Technology Branch at FTD (1980s) which was renamed in the nineties.....Rmc"

Capt. Collins' translation of `TQTR" as "Advanced Technology Branch at FTD" is a detail, which even the website posting the articles had labeled "Unknown" (see M* Note below). As we say in the argot: This man is "for real."

The monographs are:

1. "Soviet Research On The A-Vector Potential and Scalar Waves (U)"
2. "Soviet Research On Unified Field Theories, False Vacuum States, and Antigravity (U),"

M* Note: http://www.unusualresearch.com/scalarbib/scalarbib.htm

I highly recommend "Exempt From Disclosure" to anyone seriously interested in the subjects of UFOs, the Roswell Crash and Alien Autopsy, the nature of EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities 1 and 2) and the role of the Central Intelligence Agency and NSA in collecting, securing and containing the dissemination of the "CTS."

Of particular interest to me are Collins' detailed chapters dealing with the major figures at CIA who have directed the MJ-12 program since its inception. These were James Jesus Angleton, "head spook" of CIA's Counter Intelligence Division, Allan Dulles and Richard Helms, both of them DCIs (Directors of Central Intelligence) from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Another significant chapter in "Exempt From Disclosure," is one entitled "Physical Conditions, Characteristics and Anatomy of the Aliens." Having thoroughly studied the contents of the "MJ-12 Documents", "The Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit Report" (which mentions alien biology, as well as, "Congressman John F. Kennedy"), 2 versions of SOM-101 and the EBE biology report ascribed to Dr. Detlev Bronk, I have found this chapter by Collins, Doty & Cooper to contain significant details of alien biology, in particular, regarding their eyes, brain structures, digestive functions and kidney/bladders distinct from those of human beings.

I have a personal saying that "The Truth is Seamless" and disinformation is analogous to a tear in the fabric of truth, presenting a stumbling block and an obstruction to reason and logic, whereby one can recognize it and isolate it by cross-correlation with known facts.

Of course, in the final analysis, each individual must make up his own mind and derive his own conclusions but the important thing in arriving at a reasonable conclusion depends on the quality of the information being analyzed and so, no single source can be considered alone. One must seek out reliable information from many fields.

I have found "Exempt From Disclosure" to be a coherent and internally consistent account of 6 decades of "The Age of Flying Saucers" and a "must read" for anyone seriously interested in the subject. EFD may be an important part of Frank Edward's prediction (perhaps, signifying the threshold of the penultimate or the last) of the CIA's 7-year cycles to disclosure and confirms for me the importance of Edwards' original 1967 message, a warning to the American public:
"Flying Saucers - Serious Business."

Considering the sources and the documents contained therein, "Exempt From Disclosure" is not a book to be taken lightly.

After having read the many top-notch reviews written here on Amazon, I cannot think of much else to add--it is all said so well in the rest of the reviews. However, I must point out that I still have a "bad taste in my mouth" from reading Linda Moulton Howe's An Alien Harvest years ago, because of the disinformation role played by (co-author) Richard Doty during her visit to Kirtland AFB back in 1983. Can we trust Mr. Doty now? Plus, I still remember the TV show "UFO Cover Up Live" and the joking comments of the host after Falcon (Doty?) mentioned how the EBE's like strawberry ice-cream.
There are a few inconsistencies involving the planet of origin of the EBE's, and in the location of the 1964 Holloman landing. Plus, can we really believe that project SERPO happened? How could humans make it back and forth to another star system in such a short time?
So, as with most books on UFO's, there is much information presented, but we cannot know for sure what, and how much, is true. It would certainly appear that this book has more truth than fantasy--let's hope!

Exempt from Disclosure is a well thought out and researched monograph detailing the secret space program, our contact with EBEs (Exterrestrial Biological Entities), hidden undergound bases, unaccountable black budget projects, and eldritch technology that humans have just begun to attempt to piece together. Mr. Collins puts together a great read and supports his writing with primary sources, and I couldn't put it down once I began reading it. Besides the very convincing the chilling photo of an EBE, he details the S-4 base, and possibly the ultimate event of scientific history: a human/alien exchange program to the EBE homeworld, unbeknowst to the general public. (presumably, as a result of the old Brooking Institute research that asserted any sudden release of the existence of an advanced extraterrestrial intelligence would throw the world's socio-political and religious institutions into upheaval).

This is a great book, easy to read and leaves you wanting more information (hidden throughout the field of disinformation). It takes skilled researchers like Mr. Collins to help us make that distinction.

For myself, I would love to find out more about the Serpo exchange and what happened, which is just where this book ends.

All in all a great read, and having talked to Mr. Colling, a genuinely nice guy too. 5 stars.

If you ever wondered why and how the government keeps the UFO/Alien information from being disclosed, then you need to read this book. It gives the framework for the secrecy and the various departments that control what is known and when it is known. If you've followed the UFO/Alien controversy at all, this book puts it all into perspective. What really sank it home for me was that the Air Force doesn't call them "UFO'S," they are called "IAC'S," or Identified Alien Craft. Robert Collins, Richard Doty, and Tim Cooper have done a remarkable job with getting this information to us. Maybe "the little guys" will finally supercede the government and make themselves known...finally laying the "truth" to rest once and for all...
