The idea of the first White House demonstration was to make the statement to the UFO community that a UFO cover up was first and foremost a political problem deserving of political solutions. I believed that because the data was being manipulated for political reasons one could not do good scientific work on the subject. I believed that the UFO community had been covertly redirected away from political solutions and into ineffective scientific solutions from the time of the Late Donald Keyhoe.
In the second demonstration the one on [YouTube], the idea was to prod the mainstream press into getting involved even if the propagandists in the press tried to make us look silly which they did their best to do. Heavy hitting SETI debunkers like Dr. Frank Drake had to come on at 3 the next morning to debunk us. I hoped that if we made a big enough stir in spite of the ridicule and the debunking some in the press would think that where there is smoke their may be fire. Soon afterward shows began to appear on TV like Sightings.
We dissolved ORTK a few years later because we we unable to ignite a widespread uprising in the public domain a impossible task at the time. Still we have gone on record as having tried and I know the government and public did take notice.

I honestly don't see why people think the govt is going to come out and tell them what they know about UFOs. They've been lying and covering this up for almost 80 years and now they are going to suddenly tell the truth because.....why ?
I can boil down what we've been told over the years to 3 words. "We don't know"....and the runaround is all you're ever going to get.
If you're waiting for the govt to tell the truth, bring snacks and get comfortable...you're in for a long wait.
What we need is undeniable proof not protest.
