The Goldwater letters run from 1966 to 1996. You will note that after 1981 when Goldwater becomes Chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee he no longer says I don’t know much more than the man on the street.
1967 regarding the release of the “sensitive” files at WPAFB. If they were released “I think the information would be meager and not be substantiated fully”… “I can understand the sensitive and secret nature of these files”
In 1974 “I have no information that is not available to you and I am not aware exactly of what the Air Force might have…”
November 1974 – “I have tried in the years past to have the material collected by the Air Force to no avail. It is still classified above top secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan underway to release some if not all, of this material in a book in the relative near future.”
November 1975 “It is still classified Top Secret. I have heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future.”
March 1975 – “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all of this material in the near future.”
May 1975 – “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, that there is a plan to release some, if not all of this material in the near future, and I hope this is carried out.”
November 1975 – “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, that there is a plan to release some, if not all of this material in the near future. I’m just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I hope we will not have to wait much longer.”
May 1977 – “If my secretary comes into my office and said, ‘there’s little man outside – he’s green—he has three eyes and an antenna coming out of his head,’ I would say,’ Show him in,’ because I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Februay 1978 – “I made an attempt to get into the room at Wright-Patterson Field where information was stored and I was denied this request, understandably. Frankly, I’m no expert on this subject; I’ve never made lengthy statements on it. What I’ve told you just about sums it up.”
June 27, 1978 to Col. Bill Coleman – ‘I will argue either way about UFOs; I can’t turn a blind eye to it. Something has to be there.”
November 1978 – “I truly doubt the Air Force has classified information on this subject not available to me.”
April 1980 – “He (LeMay) told me in no uncertain terms that I could not visit it and, furthermore, that he could not visit it either. After that I just left it alone and forgot about it. However, I believe that the material has been spread around into different archives of the Air Force.”
July 1980 – I have never been allowed to see the material that the Air Force collected, and I don’t blame them. I think it should be kept secret, but I hope one of these days we are going to know the whole story, and I hope I am around when it all comes to light.”
May 1981 – “The reason I wanted to see the highly classified files on UFOs at Wright Patterson was not to see any remains, because I don’t know of any UFO that supposedly crashed.”
July 15, 1981 –“Relative to your question about the accuracy of the details in the “Roswell Incident,” they are partially true, but not completely. I can’t give you any other answer than that so please don’t push it.”
August 31, 1981 – “I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.”

Goldwater UFO Files to be Released in Early March
Relative to your question about the accuracy of the details in the “Roswell Incident,” they are partially true, but not completely. I can’t give you any other answer than that so please don’t push it. Senator Barry Goldwater – then Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee – July 1981
In early March 100 pages of UFO douments from the Senator Barry Goldwater files will be posted at the Presidents UFO website. Goldwater was a long-time United States Senator, a Major-General in the USAF reserve, the 1964 Republican candidate for President, and the former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
In these documents Goldwater makes a revealing reference to the UFO crash in Roswell, and in another document offers to set up a meeting for Dr. Steven Greer with Bobby Ray Inman, long rumored to have headed up the engineering program connected to UFO technology.
The Goldwater UFO documents consist of letters to and from people writing Goldwater about his long-standing interest in UFOs. In most of the letters Goldwater refers to his now infamous meeting in 1964 or 1966 with General Curtis Lemay where Goldwater requested access to the “Blue Room” at WPAFB, where alien bodies and hardware were rumored to have been held. In the letters Goldwater consistently states that he was refused entry by LeMay. “I have never been allowed to see what has been stored in that place at Wright-Patterson and neither has anyone else, as far as I know,” he told one letter writer.
Beyond this Wright-Patterson incident Goldwater stated that he did not know much more about UFOs than the man on the street. In a few of the letters, however, Goldwater indicates that government held UFO material is probably classified above top secret and that he sympathized with the decision if this was the case.
Despite Goldwater’s constant reference to the fact he was not in the loop he did not have inside information on UFOs he did made one interesting reference to the 1947 Roswell crash that indicated that he had asked questions and had been given some sort of briefing on what happened at Roswell.
This reference comes in a letter to a fellow ham operator in Australia – Sam Kaufman. The letter was written in 1981 when Goldwater was Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and just after the release of the book “The Roswell Incident” which put the Roswell story into the public mind.
In answer to the question of what really happened at Roswell, Goldwater made this revealing statement, “Relative to your question about the accuracy of the details in the ‘Roswell Incident,’ they are partially true, but not completely. I can’t give you any other answer than that so please don’t push it.”
This idea that Goldwater was aware of secret UFO information was reaffirmed in a 1988 interview given by Goldwater to Larry King where he said he did think information was being withheld. “I think some highly secret government UFO investigations are going on that we don’t know about” said Goldwater, “and probably never will unless the Air Force discloses them.”
The final interesting revelation in the documents comes in correspondence between Goldwater and Dr. Steven Greer, who at the time of the letter was the director of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). Based on the letters it appeared that Greer had a personal meetings with Goldwater on the subject of UFOs in early January 1994. This meeting occurred the month after Greer met to discuss UFOs and John Petersen from the Arlington Institute and then Clinton CIA Director James Woolsey.
In a letter to Goldwater dated November 1, 1994 Greer makes reference to the January 1994 meeting and to the fact that Goldwater had offered to set up a meeting for Greer with Bobby Ray Inman who was rumored to have been in charge of the engineering program surrounding recovered UFOs. Greer wrote, “Things have progressed to where I believe we should pursue a meeting with Admiral Bobby Ray Inman; you mentioned when we met in January that you could help setup this meeting.
A search of letters between Inman and Goldwater showed one non-related letter from Inman to Goldwater. There was nothing found to indicate whether or not Goldwater arranged the meeting between Greer and Inman.
