Subject: NATO & Command Sergeant Major Robert O. Dean

There has been a lot of controversy regarding the person and
background of alleged Command Sergeant Major Robert O. Dean
and his claims that

a. He was stationed as CSM at NATOs SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters of
   allied Powers in Europe) HQ in Rocquencourt/France

b. His alleged "Cosmic Top Secret" Clearance

c. His insight into "The Assessment", an alleged NATO UFO study.

Two of his claims were confirmed officially by NATO, as the
skeptic German UFO organisation GEP (Gesellschaft zur Erforschung
des UFO-Phanomens - UFO Research Society) had to admit after a
careful study, originally intended tro discredit Dean and his
claims, after Dean spoke on the Dusseldorf International UFO
Congress in October 1992.

GEP wrote to NATO and asked questions RE Dean. Here are the
replys to GEP chairman H.W.Peiniger:

Dear Mr. Peiniger,

regarding your letter of 12 April 1992, in which you asked for further
information about Robert Dean, I waill try to answer your questions
as far as my investigation in this matter allows:

1. According to the US military representative in the Military Commitee
   of NATO a Robert O. Dean retired in the rank of a Sergeant Major in
   November 1976.

2. A NATO Coworker with the above mentioned rank can have access to
   classified documents if he has the necessary clearance.

3. I am not able to give you further information on the person, because
   of the American "privacy law".

4. Yes, this classification (Cosmic Top Secret, MH) existed as the time in
   question.

(...)

With best wishes

RE: Your letter of 12.04.1993 to the NATO Office of Information & Press

Dear Mr. Peiniger,

NATO Office of Information and Press sent me the above mentioned letter
and asked me to reply. Unfortunately I cannot answer all your questions.
The following information might help you a little bot.

The Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe )SHAPE) were until
1967 near Paris in Rocquencourt. (...)

The access to classified material does not depend on the rank, but from
clearance and authorization, given in the case of thenecessity to have
access to fulfill a special mission. "Cosmixc Top Secret" is one of the
possible classifications.

Sincerely yours

Rainer Otte
Lt. Col."

I hope these letters clarify some points of controversy regarding
CSM Robert O. Dean. Yes, the man is genuine, he was what he claims
he was. He DID have a Cosmic Top Secret clearance.

Has he indeed seen the "Assessment" on UFO activities? Maybe. At
least NATOs comment gives us no reason to question his personal
integrity.
