Pilkington wrote in *Mirage Men* of a meeting with Kit Green, whose interest in UFOs, Pilkington wrote, dated to "his time as the CIA's 'keeper of the weird' at the Office for Science and Technology" ("really he was a senior science analyst," Pilkington added), and who was "a close and long-standing friend of Rick Doty." Pilkington wrote that at a Denny's restaurant "back in 1986" Green, Puthoff and Vallee "distilled what they knew about the subject into what has become known as the 'core story,'" which Green stated to Pilkington as: "The ETs came here, maybe once, maybe a few times. Either through accident or design, the US government acquired one of their craft."[^2] The passages of the Green interview read do not use the word Aviary.[^2] A document in the Clinton White House science adviser's files, a letter of April 29, 1995 from [[Richard Farley|C. Richard Farley Jr.]], describes Dan Smith of [[Baltimore]] as "a self-proclaimed confidant and asset of Dr. Ronald Pandolfi."[^4]
The blogger [[Robert Schaeffer]] reported in 2019, in a passage quoted by [[Jason Colavito]], that the television producer [[Robert Kiviat]] had been engaged by [[Joe Firmage]] to develop a network series on Firmage's anti-gravity claims "and also the story of the Aviary UFO history as seen through the eyes of Pandolfi." Kiviat said, in the quoted interview, that "Pandolfi was not willing to state his claims publicly." Colavito wrote that Kiviat filed suit against Firmage, Pandolfi and the former congressman [[Daniel Marriott]] seeking $300,000. The complaint was not read, and the defendants' answers were not found.[^5]
