My father, was one of Opie's BG's at site Trinity. He had a 'Q' clearance, as noted on his discharge papers. Never talked much about it, till around 1986, and he told me a couple of stories, strange ones.
He died in 1987, just a couple weeks after he started talking to a guy from UCF in Orlando who was doing research on the Site Trinity, during the time they were building the bomb. My dad met with him a couple of times. Dad came home form work one day, got out of the car in the driveway, and never made it to the door. I was there in less than a minute, and he was already gone, CPR did not help.
They said, that it was caused by him taking two drugs, that different doctors prescribed at the same time and they stopped his heart.
I found the researchers card a few weeks later, and called the number to let him know that my dad had passed. The number went to UCF, but they had never heard of the man, and they had no one doing any research into those areas at all., told me I must have been mistaken. I have always found that odd.
Another odd thing was that he had a son, while he was there, I was born in 1960, and never knew he was married before, or had another child. I did meet up with him, in 2011 in Socorro NM, where he had lived his entire life, he had just retired from The research facility near there as the head of Maintenance,
a early job of his, was 'Working the radio' doing dispatch for Socorro police/fire, he took the radio call from Lonnie Zamora when he had his 'incident '
A lot of the public wants alien beings to be saviors, when the likelihood is that they are researchers and/or managers of our zoo planet. If some theories are correct they've been our cohabitating neighbors for a very long time.
I’m reading a hard sci-fi book - Black Swan - that I think is going to end with this kind of a conclusion/denouement . The story is built around “4I/SWAN”, an interstellar object that seems to be heading toward earth, and a bunch of different folks/groups following/investigating it.
I like it so far. What might seem like "hard" sci-for me, though, might seem quite amateurish for y'all. It popped up on my Kindle fairly recently, after I'd read most of the Sentinel Briefing articles about 3I/ATLAS, so that gave me a bit of a head start.
I agree with this. No one can truly come rescue us from our drama triangles, the work must be done ourselves. As individuals first. It’s an earned path. Suffering and limitations can be valuable learning substrate to an extent given the right attitude, and lens for perceiving it.

Sorry to hear your father passed so suddenly. Thank you for sharing his story. We love these comments.

Adding that to the reading list. How is it?

It just gets deeper and wider
How can it be, that I'm fascinated and scared at the same time?
Jackpot! Thank you, Kevin Patrick Childress. RIP
