He gives great presentations, and had to check that CIA file a little closer and found what he says to be true AND led me down the rabbit hole.
The Adam and Eve Story PDF, 57 page CIA version, from June 24, 2013; released 2016.
Bright Insight released a video on this CIA file in 2019.
Suspicious Observers had earlier released a more in-depth speculative video of this subject titled, The Next End of the World | C.I.A. Classified (Dec 2018), though he may want to make some minor corrections based "Why Files" version concerning the CIA copy. The movie "2012" used Chan's version, not Hapgood's.
The book "The Adam and Eve Story" was published in multiple editions and found there are copies listed in 32 libaries on WorldCat.
The 1963 edition is listed as 41 pages in the Yale University Library catalog.
The 1965 edition is listed as 55 pages in the Michigan State Universitly Libraries catalog.
The CIA PDF file includes the 1965 edition and does not include book pages 8, 18, 20, 30, 36, 46, 48, 50, 52, and 54. Going by the 1993 copy by a different publisher it appears these pages were blank.
Here's the 1993 publication 120 page copy (PDF).
Inside the CIA PDF copy of the book, four pages from the March 11, 1966 issue of Time Magazine, featuring the two-page essay "The Passions & Perils of Nationhood" with the handwritten note "Save for Pop". One of the pages from Time (not part of the essay) includes a picture of British prime minister Harold Wilson, which someone has outlined and hand-written annotation beside the caption from "Wilson" to "Wilson" - nee Lundhal! (That's my guess on the name) So, was the CIA librarian suggesting that Harold Wilson was not the real name of the prime minister? Or was he/she making a joke?
Who is "Lundhal"?? Or rather is it mis-spelled and was meant to spell "Lundahl"? Did Wilson have some spooky connection to Arthur C. Lundahl, who was the head of the National Photographic Interpretation Center? More on that later.
On PDF page 50 of the CIA copy there is a list of parts written on the front and back of a government "Transmittal Slip" form:
Sprinkler
Tool box
Hole saw set
Auger bit set
9 volt transistor batt. recharger
C Cells
Monowat handy light
Auto map light
Blinking warning "
Tire gauge
Car washing brush
Fender repair kit
Magnetic key holder
Reflecting tape
^^^What in Adam that list is about I have no idea.
On page 55, in the notes on the author:
The 1942 student directory for Columbia University (a known CIA recruitment center) lists an engineering student "C P Thomas" of 8 Weyburn Rd, Scarsdale, (Westchester County) NY:
His name turns out to be "Chauncey P. Thomas":
From the Scarsdale Inquirer, Volume XXV, Number 46, 12 November 1943, Page 11.
So, in summary, one copy of the 1965 book "The Adam and Eve Story" was included in a 'classified' CIA library file, along with some other article clippings. The book was published in multiple editions over the decades and was widely available, at least across university libraries. It was never banned or actually classified...similar to the NSA, anything collected goes under a form of classification compartment. The sanitized file from the CIA apparently includes the entire contents of the book. The book's author "Chan Thomas" is Chauncey P. Thomas, who lived in Scarsdale, NY.

Going a bit deeper...circling back to Arthur C. Lundahl:
Rockefeller backed defense contractor Itek Corporation was involved in the production of the Corona satellites. Arthur Lundahl, who analyzed the satellite footage, told Jacques Vallée he saw UFOs. Vallée was friends with Arthur Lundahl as sourced from this clip.
Vallée got hired as a UFO consultant for Laurance Rockefeller but apparently bowed out “when he saw where Laurance and John Mack were going.” (from 1999 email)
A lot of gold gems in that old email! I've suspected for a while that the 'UFO community' is used as a 'catch & release' system to observe the flow of leaked 'confidential' information, the "Matrix of UFO Beliefs" is evidence for the hypothesis.
Even after retirement, Dino Brugioni was considered to be the world's foremost imagery intelligence analyst. He's the guy who said the Zapruder film was altered...
The Zapruder Film Mystery (85 min Docu)
In January 1961, Arthur Lundahl's CIA group acquired military imagery intelligence capabilities to form the National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC), as a part of the CIA Directorate of Science and Technology. Brugioni was a key deputy to Lundahl.
Lundahl was the Director of NPIC from May 1953 – July 1973, a joint project of the CIA and DIA...
Arthur C. Lundahl
...which became the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a mega Yuge military run facility at Fort Belvoir. CIA James Clapper took command on Sept 1, 2001. He relieved Army Lt General James C. King who went into (forced?) retirement at only 55 yrs old.
Lundahl meets with Air Force in 1967 who issued a contract, to the University of Colorado, for the study of UFOs. Major general Edward B. Giller (July 8, 1918 – October 1, 2017), USAF, was the contract monitor and principal investigator from the University was the infamous Dr. Edward U. Condon.
Project Orion was a study conducted between the 1950s and 1960s by the United States Air Force, DARPA, and NASA for the purpose of identifying the efficacy of a star ship directly propelled by a series of explosions of atomic bombs behind the craft—nuclear pulse propulsion.
Brian Boru Dunne II (January 8, 1924 - November 30, 2017) was Project Orion's chief scientist (To Mars by A-Bomb). Dunne worked on explosive model tests in Point Loma, San Diego. Dunne and Howard Kratz set up a facility for firing explosive-driven plasma jets as sample pusher-plate targets. He continued to work for General Atomics and later started his own firm called Ship Systems.

Brian Boru
U.S. Commerce Secretary (and former U.S. Vice President) Henry Wallace came to know Condon and in October 1945 recommended him as director of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS, now known as NIST). President Harry Truman agreed to nominate him.
Although the Condon Report did not go over well in the UFO research community it did not seem to phase Arthur Lundahl and his enthusiasm. He collaborated again with Dr. James E. McDonald once again on another UFO study group.. this time directly for LBJ.
