Tim Cooper
Tim Cooper is an American UFO researcher who received significant drops of Majestic 12 Documents during the 1980s, making him one of the primary conduits through which these disputed but historically significant documents entered the public record. Cooper's father, USAF Master Sergeant Harry B. Cooper, received a special citation from General Curtis LeMay praising his work on the "USAF UFO program," lending indirect credibility to the Cooper family's connection to official UFO investigation programs.

Interview with Albert Bruce Collins
On November 20, 1990, Cooper conducted what proved to be one of the final interviews with Albert Bruce Collins (pseudonym "Barnabas"), a self-described metallurgical engineer who claimed government involvement in UAP technology research. Collins died on December 30, 1990 — just weeks after this interview. Collins disclosed to Cooper observations of a UAP at UC Berkeley in 1947, knowledge of multiple alleged joint UAP research programs (including Project Archangel between the CIA, RAND, and Vatican), and claims that Los Alamos National Labs had been studying green fireballs and strange debris. Cooper's documentation of Collins's testimony was subsequently referenced by crash retrieval researcher Leonard Stringfield in UFO Crash Retrievals: The Inner Sanctum, Status Report 6 (1991).
