And just like with John's investigation, they all say they know nothing about the UFO or the helicopters.
And official military logs back up that statement.
Those logs were entered into evidence, and apparently there were no official flights scheduled in that area on December 29th, 1980.
except there's a pretty big asterisk on that statement.
Saron admits that his probe didn't include any classified records, which means he couldn't have ruled out the military, not entirely.

But get this, a report released by the US House Committee in 1983 showed that the military allocated a substantial sum of money for a classified project in October, 1980, just two months before the incident.
They set aside $11.5 million for it.

Hynek worked on Project Blue Book and at the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois.
