As a longtime researcher of matters both military and nonmilitary, it is accurate to say, I must start with a positive mindset. Any good researcher has to. Although the company I work for produces fiction, I am regularly called upon to acquire real-world information to lend an air of plausibility to any book, especially if it is set in a particular era and/or in the time frame of a particular conflict.

The same with this subject. If there is a body of evidence that points to a particular possibility then I follow through, weeding out the unattributed and claims made that, upon closer examination, do not hold up, especially as they regard matters that involve secrecy.
