Several documented military operations resulted in direct experiences with UAP. Richard Dolan describes the details of high-altitude nuclear detonation tests carried out by the U.S. military, known as 'Operation Dominic'. During October of 1962 the ship USS Finch was in the vicinity of one such test, which resulted in the downing of a UFO. Though military vessels were quick to where the craft was underwater, their attempts to recover the strange craft failed.

If humanity has a secret space program, there are questions as to its origins. Richard Dolan explores information on secret space programs, and their potential connections with UFOs. Dolan explains they would be the product of a ‘Breakaway Civilization' and not simply the US military or NASA. Dolan discusses the likelihood of these radically advanced and increasingly separate structures with access to classified science and data denied to the general public.
