Robert Moore

The sources identify Lieutenant General Robert Moore as a three-star general who served as the Deputy Commander of the Army Materiel Command (AMC) during the mid-1980s.

Key Connection to Col. John Alexander

Robert Moore played a significant role in the career of Col. John Alexander following the "abrupt retirement" of Alexander’s mentor, Major General Albert Stubblebine, in 1984.

• A "Safe Haven" for Research: When Stubblebine’s successor at INSCOM, General William Odom, sought to distance the command from remote viewing and phenomenology, Stubblebine secured a new position for Alexander under General Moore at AMC.
• Disposition toward the Anomalous: Moore is described as having been "favorably disposed to unusual topics," which made him a suitable commander for Alexander, given the latter's well-known interests in parapsychology and UAP.
• Technological Oversight: Moore assigned Alexander as the sole military officer in an AMC office comprised of senior civilians who managed the Army’s technology base. This role involved a broad look at emerging technologies in the early research and development phase.

Contextual Significance

General Moore's support provided Alexander with the institutional cover and access needed to continue his research. It was during this tenure at AMC that Alexander’s contacts in the intelligence and research communities expanded "near exponentially," eventually catalyzing the formation of the Advanced Theoretical Physics (ATP) working group in 1985.

While Moore is not described as a primary member of the ATP or a "gatekeeper" of UFO secrets himself, his willingness to house Alexander’s work at AMC was a critical step in the lineage of modern government UAP investigative efforts.
