Six years of investigation. One year in public. The case for UFO reverse-engineering from the USSR and US, planted on the documentary record by a former intelligence contractor who set out to find it.
Soviet UFO research apparently ramping up by the late 1970s might correspond to the Kondratiev ‘fall season’ that was soon to follow. Exploitation, helped by unemployment, intensified as production chains were streamlined against shirking and other forms of sabotage. Productivity gains were not massive but the median wage stagnated. So not only was growth slow, but the saved share of capital income was likely to rise. Eventually this could only mean a decline in profitability. In these conditions, covert, non-market production (or production for a completely separate market) is both a partial remedy and an outcome.
Oh my. Parallel construction sounds an awful lot like "show me the man and i'll show you the crime." I am an amateur researching this field since July 2020 and I've scraped together about 3500 documents (many of which correspond to those you call out, if not the same ones). Your stack is new to me, so I have a lot of reading to do. I'll be back...

Go man go. I will be back on the critical trail Monday. Our house is finally livable.
Beautiful work.
