Robert Collins

Robert M. Collins (+18 May 2024) was the main author of Exempt from Disclosure, which he co-wrote with Rick Doty and Tim Cooper. He was a retired Air Force Captain and Intelligence Officer who used to work with the Foreign Technology Division, which is generally suspected to also handle materials from crashed UFOs.

It is generally believed that Robert Collins was the 'Condor' in the 1988 Kodak-produced network television documentary "UFO Cover-up Live." (Several researchers suspect that Robert Collins was not the 'Condor' of the Aviary, and only played the part in the documentary. Collins, however, has confirmed that he was 'Condor').

Because of his ties with the FTD and because of his role in the 1988 documentary, a number of authors and researchers have questioned the reliability of the information Collins provided.

In the days of the Serpo releases, Robert Collins was one of the people who frequently commented on them.

On his own web site, www.ufoconspiracy.com, he has the following biographical information:
