We have hundreds of pages of documents and maps and letters and encrypted messages and invisible messages, which I'm going to show you.
The long story distilled down.
Bill disseminated this material to his colleagues in an agency that he and Don worked for that did work for our military.
These guys are heroes in my mind because they knew the work they did would never be known, would never be publicly revealed.
They got paid for their work, but it was dangerous, and some of their colleagues did not survive the work they did.

When Bill realized that he was dying in 1994, he sold the document to the Vatican.

He did sell some of the documents to the Vatican, but what he did is he took photographs and he left them with one of his colleagues who, when he passed away,
His estate gave it to Don because there was a letter from Bill that said, I want this material to go to Don.
He was my best friend.
He was the only one that took this research seriously with me, even though Bill only told him a fraction of what was going on.
And so all this material was left to Don.
And Don was the youngest of the personnel.
And he said, I think he will outlive us all.
And that's exactly what's happened.
