this covers much of the same territory as Mark Pilkington's "Mirage Men" but focuses more specifically about the Paul Bennewitz case and the Dulce Base mythology - learned a lot of new information about Kirtland Air Force Base's history as well as that of New Mexico in general in the process

I will say this much that finding out about J. Allen Hynek's role in the disinformation campaign against Bennewitz has made me significantly more critical of him, even if he's done useful work within ufology.
Also interesting how many of the disinformation tactics that AFOSI used against the UFO community in the 1980's are those used today by CIA, MI6 and FSB against various activist milieux and alternative media.
