The link above leads to an article by George Knapp and Matt Adams for the "I-Team." Knapp and Adams writes about a document from 2009 "in which Reid made the case for protecting and expanding the project." The project the quote is referring to is the much talked about in the ufo-community, Pentagon´s UFO-program "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program" (AATIP). (UFO researcher Paul Dean has found another name and acronym than AATIP, and the question is if the different names stands for two different UFO-programs/projects or not?). "Reid" is senator Harry Reid who initiated the military study of UFO encounters in 2007.
According to Knapp´s and Adams´ article from the 28th of June 2018, senator Harry Reid in a 2009 letter to the deputy secretary of defense said "that the AATIP study was already a success, and that exotic technologies could be catastrophic if used by our adversaries."
Why is that statement interesting? First of all, senator Reid is saying that the AATIP was a success almost immediately after its implementation, but perhaps most intriguing is that senator Reid´s statement goes against the spokesperson for the AATIP who has said something in the following; "we did not learn much and it was decided to spend the taxpayers money on something else."
The Pentagon has said that the program ended in 2012. Luis Elizondo, the former director for the AATIP and now at the "To the Stars Academy", has said that only the funding ended in 2012, but that the program was still running when he left his position as the director of the AATIP.
The link above has also a 4 minutes short news clip with George Knapp interviewing senator Harry Reid and Luis Elizondo about the 2009 document/letter. Very interesting in the news clip is the segment with Dr. Hal Puthoff talking to a science group in Las Vegas. Listen carefully on what dr. Puthoff was telling the group of scientists.

The link to "New York Magazine" leads to another interview - a more in depth interview than the first link above - with senator Harry Reid. In this article he goes into more detail about his involvement in the AATIP, why a scientific approach in the study of the UFO phenomenon is crucial, etc.
Below is a quote from senator Harry Reid on the question about secrecy or not, or a cover-up or not, regarding information about the UFO-phenomenon.
Let me give you something that the press has totally failed and conjured. We have hundreds and hundreds of papers, pages of paper, that have been available since this was completed. Most all of it, 80 percent at least, is public. You know something? The press has never even looked at it. Not once. That’s where we are. I wanted it public, it was made public, and you guys have not even looked at it.
Enjoy and take care!
