UFO disclosure depends heavily on people saying they know what others don't. Chrissy Newton offers a way to weigh those accounts through Jay Stratton’s book, without making an insider’s credentials stand in for evidence.

How does a secret program function when coworkers can't tell each other what they're doing? Chrissy recalls an interview with a former Area 51 worker whose description of daily life puts a human face on compartmentalization. Being part of the same community didn't mean having the same access.

And what happens when the most sensational claim becomes the story everyone repeats? Allegations about reptilians prompt a demand for evidence and a question about publicity. Chrissy draws a line between investigating something unknown and circulating its mythology, even when the mythology makes a compelling story.
