Firstly, (believing your story about your radar incident) sounds like once his superiors told him that it was a non-issue and basically ordered him to forget about it, his persistence to drive the issue lost him the confidence of his superiors (almost to the point of insubordination) and that is that. When a person stumbles across a "need to know issue" but does not need to know they generally given the option to forget it and keep it to themselves OR keep talking and take the hit. It is a choice that sometimes is not clear, but OPSEC doesn't allow for potential loose cannons. Secondly this site does its best to keep the wackos at bay so every wild story that is posted by an unknown is rigorously vetted by the other posters; usually just by the tone and content (a real colorful story with amazing but non-specific detail and always with a lack of verifiable evidence) it is pretty clear that just want the attention and get everybody chasing their tails over a clear distraction. They blow by and usually leave with their tails between their legs after the big BS stamp is placed on their epic tale. Joerg does not need vetting, he says he saw something; he saw something. If he wanted to fabricate a story he could have do so a decade ago. Don't lecture this forum on how it should respond to lurid accounts that sound juicy but have no basis in facts; we have been trying our best to keep the "Oh, I was abducted from my double-wide and ...." crowd to their own venues - just not this one. A move that perhaps you should reconsider as well.
