      He was an amateur radio operator who picked up some encrypted signals from a nearby air force base.

      Rather than admit they were just encrypted transmissions the USAF created a program that convinced this man that aliens were real and he was being pursued by the government, including sending Men in Black to harass him and hiring a woman to believe everything he said.

      He died in a mental hospital, estranged from his family and suffering from paranoid delusions.
