“Maybe,” I said. “How about clearing me with Project ‘Saucer’?”
Al shook his head. “It’s still classified secret.”
“‘Look, Don,” said Splitt, “why do you want to fool with that saucer business? There’s nothing to it.”
“‘That’s a big change from what the Air Force was saying; in 1947,” I told him.
He shrugged that off. “The Air Force has spent two years checking into it. Everybody from Symington down will tell you the saucers are bunk.”
“That’s not what Project ‘Saucer’ says in that April report.”
“That report was made up a long time ago,” said Splitt. “They just got around to releasing it.”
“Then they’ve got all the answers now?”
“They know there’s nothing to it,” Splitt repeated.
“In that case,” I said, “Project ‘Saucer’ shouldn’t object to my seeing their files and pictures.”
