The CARET documents, another hoax?

Some time ago, an individual calling himself "Issac" began leaking documents he claims to be from a Palo Alto CARET Labs (PACL) project designed to back-engineer alien technology for patent review and eventual commercial and civilian application. In any UFO-related case where documents are leaked that support the claim of extra-terrestrial contact with the earth, a healthy dose of critical examination must be applied to avoid yet another credibility meltdown that once again will be paid for by the entire UFO field. This critical examination has been very thoroughly done with the MJ-12 documents, but not yet with the CARET documents. My purpose with this article is to point out a number of red flags that came to mind during my reading of the documents posted on Isaac's website.. The first red flag is a total lack of compartmentalization. The alien origin of the technology is clearly and very plainly stated to anyone reading the report.

The problem here is that it isn't particularly necessary to reveal that information, and to do it in this manner is counterintuitive to typical government and industrial compartmentalization when dealing with any sensitive technology whether its from the earth or not. The technology could have been attributed to past black projects, and even if the notion of technology this advanced being from earth appeared ridiculous to the engineers involved, it still would have been better to have them speculating about it rather than risking a whistleblower exposing the most closely guarded and important secret held by our government. 'Issac' himself complains about the military's policies on 'need to know' information, yet, the documents are astonishingly general, and cover several different technologies.
