Summary
Retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel, Vietnam combat veteran, and one of the most consequential figures in the history of classified U.S. government UAP investigation. While Chief of Human Technology at INSCOM under General Albert Stubblebine, Alexander convened the Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference (ATP, 1985-1988) - a formally structured, clearance-appropriate interagency UAP working group held in a SCIF at the BDM Corporation in McLean, Virginia, with Top Secret-cleared participants from the Army, Navy, Air Force, CIA, NSA, DIA, and the aerospace industry. The ATP Conference is the most substantive classified UAP investigation documented between Project Blue Book's closure in 1969 and the creation of AATIP in 2007. Post-retirement, he directed non-lethal weapons research at Los Alamos and participated in Robert Bigelow's NIDS investigations of the Skinwalker Ranch phenomenon.
