Von Ludwiger compiles European reports and investigations, including attributed military and institutional contacts. A witness alleges an unnamed Air Force officer borrowed a fragment; the loan records and official identity are absent. The book also concludes that its reported tungsten-carbide/cobalt composition was compatible with ordinary manufacture. Radar accounts conflict, hypnosis and later face selection introduce dependence, and photographic estimates rely on unverified assumptions. Reading these accounts preserves claims and contrary findings without authenticating a programme or recovered craft.

Stanton Friedman. theufochronicles.com. March 16, 2012.
Friedman describes receiving an unnamed lead and referring it to Scott Ramsey. That personal referral is distinct from witnessing a recovery. Cleanup, road transport, radar and document claims are relayed through others or inferred; their originals are absent. His prior disbelief, the hoax account and differing skeptical positions remain alongside his later endorsement. Feasibility and institutional associations do not authenticate a craft or programme.
