Brett Feddersen
Former director of aviation security on the National Security Council staff and acting director of the FAA's National Security Programs Office. In The Age of Disclosure he says FAA controllers follow aircraft that transpond, so UAP go unseen unless a pilot reports them, and that we are 'absolutely not alone'.
