If you are referring to the "Pentacle Memo", there are at least two
separate interpretations to its significance: Vallee's and CUFOS. I
have  my own speculations, but neither Mark Rodeghier and Mike Swords of
CUFOS, nor Fred Beckman (representing Vallee) seem too excited over my
rendition. Since I haven't looked any further than suggesting a third
interpretation, I will save any further comments unless the list members
find themselves discussing the "Pentacle Memo" for the exception of
asking one question: Does anyone on this list have compelling evidence
as to who MR. Miles Goll was from 1947 to 1953? I would like to see any
paper that has his name on it. CUFOS thinks he was a Colonel and a minor
character. I am skeptical. My working premise is that he was a civilian
and an important character as early as 1947.

The above is a main reason why the Dr. James E. McDonald files and
library at the U. of Arizona, Tucson, are so important of a resource for
ufological research. McDonald followed-up personally on many, many cases
himself after his visits to Project Bluebook and to Maxwell AFB. His
research convinced him that there was no cover-up, but a major foul-up
on the Air Force's part in "investigating" UFO reports and it also
fueled his "anger" over Dr. Hynek's "slowness" in reversing himself
after decades of (in McDonald's eyes) having to know better.
