What I'm driving at are security clearances and what levels of security exist and who can see what AND does a person even know what exists above their clearance level? Let's use the hydrogen bomb as an example, what was the level of security for it?
Yes, the hydrogen bomb was indeed developed under extreme secrecy. The US program to develop it, announced in 1950, was classified at the highest level. This included the "Policy and Progress in the H-Bomb Program," a document containing the history of the first successful design, which was classified as "top secret". The US was the first nation to test a hydrogen bomb on November 1, 1952. Even today, many details of the design and the Teller-Ulam design, a key concept behind modern hydrogen bombs, remain military secrets.
However, I have seen a few documentaries from some well documented people who only use facts that can be backed up with government reports on paper and they say ufo's were classified two levels above the hydrogen bomb. Now if the government didn't believe in them, why such high secrecy in 1950?
