'Manhattan Project 2.0': how UFO programs copied atomic secrecy (UAP Gerb, Vol. 1)

UAP Gerb video (May 2026, 3.5 hours) arguing UFO programs from 1947 on copied the Manhattan Project's secrecy model: compartmentation, a short chain of command, custody at AEC/DOE national labs, 'born secret' Atomic Energy Act classification, and a tiny NSC control group. He argues that after 1980s SAP reforms and audits (Yellow Fruit), programs fractured into silos, cemented by the 1994 SAP reorganization.
