00:00What's up, Edders? Patrick here with Vetted. Today, we look into the story of Paul Benowitz,

00:07the man who was told lies about UFOs by our own American government, specifically the United

00:14States Air Force. Here's AJ from the Y Files to explain a little bit better.

00:20Paul Benowitz lived next to a large Air Force base. When he saw colored lights in the sky,

00:25he assumed they were experimental aircraft. Then he started picking up strange radio signals that

00:31seemed to be an alien language. He took his findings to the Air Force. Publicly, they denied

00:36the UFO alien story. But privately, they confirmed Paul's findings. The Air Force even funded his UFO

00:43research. He spent several years gathering evidence and reporting it to the authorities.

00:48Then he ended up in a mental institution. And the reason I wanted to make a video about this is

00:53because Jesse Michaels just released an interview with author Greg Bishop, who wrote this book

01:00right here, Project Beta, about the story of Paul Benowitz. So let's dive in. Here's a trailer that

01:07Jesse released about his interview with Greg Bishop. But again, stay with me because we have a lot to

01:15cover. And during my research for this video, I uncovered something quite shocking that no one is

01:21talking about. UFOs are a Swiss Army knife for intelligence. They can use them for anything.

01:31He was seeing lights like out somewhere on the base, like lifting up off the ground and flying

01:36over a mountain and going down. And they were just glowing orbs. And he said that he could look

01:41through binoculars and sometimes see like Air Force people or somebody walking around them before

01:46they took off. He built apparently a setup and started listening to transmissions coming from

01:52the base. He said there were dinosaurs and like old like Roman battles and stuff. The Air Force had

02:00taken him in a helicopter, flown him up to northwestern New Mexico and showed him stuff saying, look,

02:05we think there's something going on here. And they actually put jeeps and like water tanks and all

02:12kind of stuff in this place as props. And then he starts to kind of lose his mind. Is that is that

02:18right? Or yeah, as things get worse, he went there with a camera and took pictures. Benowitz was there

02:25with like a like a rifle and a pistol. And he said, you know, they're coming. You have to come in the house

02:29right now. The idea that UFOs are a cover for just prosaic technology is totally wrong. In fact,

02:37it's the opposite. Prosaic technology is often used as a cover for UFO. It's an interesting discussion.

02:42Yeah, probably both. In fact, it's demonstrably both. Imagine the Benowitz operation as a 24-hour

02:50long stage play. And Benowitz is five minutes in one scene, not even five minutes.

02:59Now I've got a special clip I want to share from that video later on. But first, let's hear again

03:10from AJ from the Y Files who did a phenomenal video a couple years ago about this story. I'll put a link

03:17in the description. But this part in particular really stuck out to me. The Mutual UFO Network or

03:23MUFON holds a convention every year. In 1989, Bill Moore was a speaker at that convention. And

03:29during his talk, he admitted that the US government had been actively spreading lies about UFOs for

03:35years. And he knew this because he was helping them to do it. And it was Richard Doty, then with

03:42AFOSI at Kirtland Air Force Base, who soon came into play as the middleman in that process.

03:49Shortly thereafter, it became apparent to me that my supplying information to the government

03:55government, through Doty, on the activities of Paul Benowitz, APRO, and to a lesser extent several

04:03other individuals, was to be a part of this equation. I also discovered that whatever it was that

04:11Benowitz was involved with, he was the subject of considerable interest on the part of not one,

04:17but several government agencies, and that they were actively trying to defuse him by pumping as much

04:24mis-disinformation through him as he could possibly absorb. He was practically booed off the stage.

04:35Frankly, I'm a little ashamed of some people in this audience, regardless of what you believe,

04:40what you hear, or not. It was really hard for these people to learn that everything they believed

04:45regarding UFOs was a lie. And this confession ended Bill Moore's career in UFO research.

04:51Bill Moore said that he was one of several high-profile UFO personalities who had made

04:56deals with Doty, though he never revealed the names. He also said Doty was feeding disinformation to

05:01tabloids like the National Enquirer, and to journalists like Linda Moulton Howe. The disinformation

05:06campaign developed by the Air Force OSI and executed by Agent Richard Doty was a success.

05:12There were now so many wild stories circulating about UFOs that it was impossible for actual

05:18earnest research to cut through the noise. Another goal of the campaign was to marginalize believers.

05:24Make it so mainstream scientists and politicians and reporters would never publicly admit to

05:29believing in UFOs. The stories were too crazy. The only people publicly discussing UFOs were what

05:35you'd call fringe conspiracy nuts. This is exactly what the government wanted. But here's the thing.

05:40The key to a successful disinformation campaign is staying as close to the truth as possible.

05:46So of all the crazy UFO information that Richard Doty spread, how much of it is true? Well,

05:52according to Richard Doty himself, almost all of it.

05:55I mean, this story is absolutely insane, right? You have a gentleman, Paul Bedowitz, who basically

06:02starts seeing stuff at a military base right next to him. The military, the Air Force specifically

06:09comes to him. It's like, oh, you're seeing stuff? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Paul. Yeah, you're seeing UFOs,

06:13dude, and aliens. And here's some stuff. And here's this. And here's that. And the story gets crazy. And if you

06:18really want to know everything about this story, there's a great documentary called Mirage Man,

06:25which I highly recommend checking out, along with the Y Files video that I'll put a link to,

06:30and this new Jesse Michaels interview, that trifecta will give you every bit of information

06:35about this story that you need, except for one piece that I'll reveal later on that I uncovered

06:41myself. Now, let's move forward with an interview with Rick Doty, who is behind this whole thing. He's

06:49the one feeding Paul Benowitz all that information that literally makes him go insane. I'm Richard

06:55Doty. I was assigned as a special agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations

07:01at Kirtland Air Force Base. I was a counterintelligence officer at the base.

07:06And one of my jobs was to conduct counterintelligence operations at the base. And during my time there,

07:15my first few months there, I was briefed into a special access program involving the U.S.

07:21government's investigation and contacts with extraterrestrial, the visitation of these

07:27extraterrestrials to Earth and the Air Force's involvement with these extraterrestrials.

07:35And during this time, I conducted investigations regarding not just the UFO phenomena, but

07:44my primary mission, probably 60 percent of my time, was dealt to that, dealt to investigating

07:51the UFO sightings and any threats imposed by these extraterrestrials on Air Force or Air Force

08:01related property. What year did you first get read into the project?

08:06I was read into the project in the summer of 1979. And the briefing was, it was a special

08:17access program. I had a special security clearance to have access to it. And I was briefed into

08:24it by an Air Force colonel from Washington who came down and briefed myself and a couple other

08:29people into this program. Now that interview is from July 2016, which is really important.

08:35And it's Dr. Stephen Greer interviewing Rick Doty, right? And it's this next answer that Rick

08:41Doty gives that led me down a rabbit hole I almost couldn't get myself out of.

08:46And do you remember if it had a code name or a project code number?

08:51Yeah. It was the initial, how do I say this? Because there's still some classifications involved

09:04in this, I think. So it was the code name that I was briefed into it was Yankee Black. But

09:13that was the program's briefing. It wasn't necessarily the UFO's program. It was just

09:19how, it was a security, actually a security code for an access program. Yankee White was

09:27access to the White House. And Yankee Black was the access that you would have to have to

09:34get into this program or right into the program.

09:36Right. And what were you told during this briefing? And do you even call the colonel's name?

09:44I'll leave the colonel's name out of it. But the briefing started with a history, U.S.'s

09:52involvement with this extraterrestrial. And it started out with a crash at Roswell. But

10:00actually what the crash didn't actually happen in Roswell happened closer to Corona. Yankee Black

10:07and Yankee White, right? That's very interesting. Because not too long ago, the Wall Street Journal,

10:16this past June, right, just literally a month ago, released an article that went crazy through

10:23the UFO community. But something struck my memory, right? And jogged my memory. And I remember

10:29thinking, Yankee Black, where have I heard something similar? Well, in this Wall Street Journal article.

10:37Take a look at an excerpt from that very first article they released.

10:42For decades, certain new commanders of the Air Force's most classified programs as part of their

10:47induction briefings would be handed a piece of paper with a photo of what looked like a

10:52flying saucer. The craft was described as an anti-gravity maneuvering vehicle.

10:59The officers were told that the program they were joining, dubbed Yankee Blue, was part of an effort

11:05to reverse engineer the technology on the craft. They were told never to mention it again. Many never

11:11learned it was fake. Kirkpatrick found the practice had begun decades before and appeared to continue

11:18still. The defense secretary's office sent a memo out across the service in the spring

11:22of 2023, ordering the practice to stop immediately. But the damage was done. Now, I know that Wall Street

11:31Journal didn't provide any evidence for their reporting, and there's a lot of people up at arms

11:36about that article. But this Yankee Blue part really sticks out, doesn't it? Considering Rick Doty just

11:43talked about he was briefed on a program called Yankee Black, right? I don't know. That's too much of a

11:50coincidence that there's not some sort of connection here. And Doty is Mr. Disinformation, right? So,

11:59which he's admitted to spreading disinformation about UFOs from this Yankee program. And then the

12:06Wall Street Journal releases this article about Yankee Blue being this fake UFO program that was spread

12:11around. I don't know. Is there a connection there? Am I reading too much into that? Let me know what you

12:16think in the comments. Now, let's move on to this clip from Jesse Michaels' interview with Greg

12:21Bishop, because this part in particular is fascinating.

12:25They needed somebody from the UFO research community as kind of a contact. So, they approached,

12:32I think, a bunch of different people, and a few of them said yes, and Bill was one of them.

12:36Do we have any sense of what Doty had? So, Doty is obviously going to play this sort of villain

12:41role in this whole story. You know, he's the main kind of, you know, Air Force Office of Special

12:45Investigations agent who enters Benowitz's life and, you know, plants all sorts of BS and kind of

12:53screws with him mentally. Do we know anything about his history up until that point?

12:58Who, Doty's?

12:58Yeah.

12:59I don't know too much about it. All I know is what he said, and it's like,

13:03what am I going to do with what he said? He said he was a guard at Area 51. I have no idea.

13:08It's hard to take that at face value. Well, he also said, I think his father worked at Area 51.

13:13Are you familiar with that history? Dolan told me that. Richard Dolan.

13:17Yeah, I think maybe. Yeah, well, Dolan will probably know.

13:20Yeah.

13:21I don't think he ever mentioned that, but, you know, he would probably take stories like that

13:25and kind of, you know, mix and match them. Another interesting data point on Doty. I know

13:30very little about him before the Benowitz story, but he shows up at Mario Woods's case. So Mario

13:36Woods is at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota in 1977. He's a missile security officer,

13:42and he not only sees a craft. I see this light off to my east. He claims that these beings walked up

13:51to him. He then gets a hypnotic regression, and he discusses being inside of a craft. Wakes up 10

13:57miles away, you know, and I think it's dawn. So like hours, it was like the whole night had elapsed.

14:04Yeah.

14:04And his partner, Michael Johnson, is in a catatonic state.

14:07I even tried pulling his hand off that steering wheel.

14:10And he has no idea what's happened to him. And he then is debriefed by, you know,

14:16a slew of official, you know, people at Ellsworth Air Force Base. And one of the guys is Rick Doty.

14:22Next to him was this new OSI guy named Rick Doty.

14:30Interesting.

14:31Yeah. Because the first time I saw him was on Ancient Aliens. And I said, I know that guy.

14:35He was at my debrief.

14:36So that's kind of interesting as well.

14:38What year was that?

14:3977.

14:40So that was like a year or two before.

14:41Yeah. Well, maybe if true, that's probably why Doty was tracked into this.

14:46Right.

14:47Because I think he has an interest in the UFO subject.

14:49Because I believe.

14:50Just like we all do. It's just that part of his job was to mess with people concerning it.

14:54Totally.

14:55Which he enjoyed.

14:56The weird part is, is like, there's Mario's is one of the strongest cases. You know, I'm like you.

15:02I think a lot of UFO stuff is bullshit. But Mario's, to me, I've spent a lot of time with the guy.

15:07It just pattern matches to one of these nuclear cases where, like, clearly there is an overwhelming nuclear pattern that goes above and beyond, in my opinion, the ability for humans to coordinate.

15:19So it's interesting that Doty was probably part of a debrief around a real case.

15:24Yeah.

15:24And then is also involved in this sort of, he's inserting himself as, you know, a counterintel guy in this other case.

15:30Yeah. Well, maybe when that stuff came up, they're like, well, either he said something or this guy knows.

15:34You know, this is just speculation. Yeah. And Rositsky apparently handpicked all these people to be part of this operation.

15:41I asked more about it once and he said, well, think of it as a giant.

15:45Because what he said was the Benowitz thing was one cog in a giant wheel connected to a bunch of other giant wheels that you would never notice.

15:53And the only reason it's noticed is because it's UFO people have kind of made it into a big story.

16:00Not that it isn't, but, you know, there are a lot of other parts of this counterintel that was going on in the late 70s, early 80s, before the Berlin Wall fell and all that, that people don't know about.

16:11And the only reason this came out is because it had to do with UFOs.

16:13So people are interested in that subject, obviously.

16:17But what he said, the other thing he said to me later was, imagine the Benowitz operation as a 24-hour long stage play.

16:25Hmm. Yeah. It's like you and Benowitz is five minutes in one scene, not even five minutes.

16:33That's how much of the entire because when UFO people and researchers, et cetera, hear about this, they're like, oh, my God, it's so important.

16:42It's like it was a tiny little piece in a big wheel that was working with a lot of other things to like, here's one more way we can, you know, mess with and and that out.

16:55Soviet assets.

16:57Mm hmm. All right, y'all. Thanks for watching.

16:59Again, I'll put links in the description to everything so you can go check it out for yourself, especially this new Jesse Michaels interview.

17:06Every day is a gift, y'all.
