About the Book

The Government has a secrecy problem. This is the map.

The classification architecture surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena operates through layered access controls, diffused responsibility, and procedural barriers that insulate decision-makers from oversight. It is a system — and for the first time, it has been mapped as one.

“The book takes no position on what UAP are. It takes a firm position on the public’s right to know what its Government has documented, classified, and withheld.”

Over-classified draws on government documents, congressional testimony, declassified records, and the accounts of military witnesses and credentialed whistleblowers. Every claim is sourced. Every source is cited. Four parts take the reader from the phenomena itself, through the machinery of secrecy, across the weight of the evidence, to the politics and prospects of disclosure.

About the Author

David R. Brown

Dave Brown spent three decades in risk management and health care services, retiring in 2020 as a senior executive responsible for the design and oversight of enterprise casualty claims programs. His career was built on reverse engineering complex processes to identify where safeguards fail and where accountability breaks down.

That professional instinct is what drew him to the question of UAP secrecy. The classification architecture surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena operates by the same mechanisms he spent his career analyzing: layered access controls, diffused responsibility, procedural barriers that insulate decision-makers from oversight. The difference is that no one had mapped it as a system. This book is that map.

Over-classified is the product of years of primary-source research into government documents, congressional testimony, declassified records, and the accounts of whistleblowers and military witnesses. Dave lives in South Carolina.
