Hi Sally,
The frustrating thing about the case my affidavit was involved in is that we figured the Dept. of Defense must have at least some record of these triangular crafts because it's the mission of NORAD (The North American Aerospace Defense Command) to monitor everything that's flying in U.S. and Canadian airspace.
According to NORAD's own website:
To accomplish the aerospace control mission, NORAD uses a network of satellites, ground-based radar, airborne radar and fighters to detect, intercept and, if necessary, engage any air-breathing threat to North America. (

The attorney leading the case (Peter A. Gersten) was responsible back in the 1970s/80s for getting the CIA, FBI, and NSA to fork over 100s of UFO documents that they previously claimed they didn't have. He was also contacted (hired, actually) by a secretive organization known as the Aviary to acquire UFO information from various sources. So he was very experienced in this sort of thing. In this particular case (i.e., the triangle ufos) he figured he stood a good chance of having the same kind of success he'd enjoyed in his previous cases. Especially because, at the time, the highly decorated Colonel Philip Corso had just published his book called "The Day After Roswell" in which he claimed to have been assigned the task of taking the technology found inside the crashed UFO at Roswell (1947) and distributing it to various U.S. laboratories and technology manufacturers in order to learn about it, reverse engineer it and apply it for our own use. It seemed like this man's testimony would help considerably if for no other reason than to lend a much needed layer of credibility to the whole UFO phenomenon in general. Unfortunately, Colonel Corso died just before the case was to go to court so he wasn't able to testify.
So, as I said in the addendum to my report, even though the judge ordered the Dept. of Defense to search its records for any and all information about these triangle UFOs, they came back and just flat out denied any knowledge of such crafts or that any such records existed. Peter later discovered that the DoD had not performed an accurate records search in the manner in which he had specifically requested. No surprise there, I guess. But the judge in the case wouldn't allow an appeal so the case was closed. It was a good effort. It just didn't pan out the way we hoped.
