Robert Orel Dean (born March 2 1929) is a UFOlogist from Tucson, Arizona.

Dean retired from the US Army as a command sergeant major after a 28 year career. He has appeared on radio programs, TV documentaries and at conferences discussing the subject of UFOs and an alleged government "cover up" of alien visitations to Earth.[1] Dean claims to have viewed a classified government document called "The Assessment" that allegedly discussed threats posed by alien activity on Earth.[2] Dean says he considers himself a professional UFO researcher and had "cosmic top secret" clearance" while in the military. In 1992 while employed as emergency services coordinator for Pima County, Arizona, Dean sued his employer for discrimination, saying he was treated unfairly because of his belief in UFOs, reportedly settling for $16,000.[3]
