Bobby Ray Inman

Retired US Navy admiral, director of the NSA (1977-81) and deputy director of central intelligence (1981-82), later on the board of SAIC. In a 1990s phone call with researcher Grant Cameron (audio public) he said the truth about UFOs might come out 'at some point'. John Herrington, a friend, says Inman is too political to tell you anything, and that Inman told someone there were 'absolutely no retrieved UFOs'.
