"I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact we have been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real, although it has been covered up by our governments for quite a long time.”
Dr Mitchell further states sources who had contact with occupants described the creatures as "little people who look strange to us" like the popular culture image [gray with short stature, slight frame, large eyes, and large head].

SECOND LOOK, Vol. 1, No. 7, May '79
My theory is that we have, indeed, been contacted perhaps visited by extraterrestrial beings, and that the U.S. Government, in collusion with other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.
There were, however, rumors at high levels of the CIA...rumors of unexplained sightings by qualified observers, of strange signals being received by the National Security Agency, and of little-gray-men whose ships had crashed,...

Dr. Bud Baker
Author: Clipped Wings: The Death of Jack Northrop's Flying Wing Bombers. Dr. Baker is a Professor of Management at Wright State University and directs the WSU Graduate Program. His first career was as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a transport navigator, Strategic Air Command missile crew commander, Air Force Academy professor, and weapon system project manager.
In response to an inquiry about Flying Wings and unidentified crashes, Dr. Baker responds:
First off, I would say that anything is possible in such matters. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.
But as far as any sort of flying wing involvement, I know of none, and I believe it would be unlikely. The big wings did not exist at that time--they did not fly until 1946 and 1947--and even if they had existed, they were way too big and way too distinctive to hide. When they ultimately did crash--one in 1948 and another in 1950--their demise was national news.
Which would leave some of the smaller, fighter-sized wings, which did exist in 1940 and after. But all of those are accounted for, even the then-secret ones, and in any event they were kept on pretty short leashes: they rarely left their southern California desert environs.

Quote
Len Stringfield had told Charlette Mann's story but would not tell anybody where she was.
Some few years after his death, I asked Len's wife if she would provide contact information. She refused. She was saving Len's files for a grandchild who might be interested at some time in the future.
I started with the church in Cape Girardeau and eventually located people who had known Reverend Huffman, a copy of his obituary and then Charlette herself. She was most cooperative.
I also managed, wth considerable effort, to locate the person to whom Charlette's father had loaned the picture that her grandfather had taken of the being. He was quite a mysterious guy. I passed that information to Ryan Wood who spoke with him in New Mexico.
Charlette has been filmed. I have no good reason, now, to doubt her story.
