Robert Argon was a colonel of the United States Military Forces who served as security director at the USMF headquarters in the 1970s.
Colonel Argon sent a memorandum to Franz Joseph Designs on 15 April 1973 regarding the disposition of unusual computer data discovered in 1970, stored at the Omaha Military Forces Base. The text of the data indicated it was an emergency transmission from a starship that had been trapped in Earth's atmosphere, but the security controllers at Omaha and in Washington, DC dismissed this as a hoax, and gave a portion of the readouts (uniform specs and some ship blueprints) to Franz Joseph Designs for publication as curiosities.
