I guess you're right. Exactly. I would be the first human to try and give us all the benefit of the doubt, but as you said, the shows that are on today, only expands on my point.

Mostly "hidden" or "secret" # things that are "unseen" (thus clustered under the headings dealing # .................. I'm not sure how this got started based on what I originally posted, but it is certainly intereting. Linda, I agree that a lot of what we deal with in UFOlogy is in the realm of hidden or secret--in the sense that we don't have all the answers yet and the phnomena is so hard to pin down each time. And knowing that the government stills seems to be keeping tabs on UFO sightings and reports lends itself admirably to the government coverup theory. From there, we can point to other examples of governmental "stupidity" that took place in secret: CIA tests of LSD, secret biological tests to determine what would happen if an enemy released a biological against this country--they used live bacteria that caused problems for some folks, after all they had to be sure, didn't they? And that is only two of the covert operations conducted by our government. I think that when we talk about our freedoms and liberties we need keep in mind that they are fragile. When I see people in this country willing to trade off freedoms for security, I get very nervous and ticked off. Then I get this depressed attitude, "They deserve what they get." Until I remember that part of the "they" is me. Then I fight back with letters to elected reps--not that it will do that much good. I do believe that there is a government behind the government--the real power behind the throne as it were. Not really a conspiracy in the usual sense of that word, but rather a "good ol' boy" system of professional politicians, curse them all, that is self-perpetuating. And we Americans permitted this to happen because of the parochial and provincial thinking of the vast majority. Somehow, the word needs to get out that what happens to one can, and probably will, happen to all. # # Thomas Jefferson himself said that our form of government was a "noble" # experiment. And he had wondered how long it would last (Federalist # Papers) Excellent point! # # If people are growing into an apathetic state, then just the info # contained within all of this material "wakes" them up to possibilities # that maybe we have reached a point where we are taking our "freedoms" # for granted.

There are # various ways to look at all of this -- from the negative to the # positive. I am wondering if there is anything that will shake people out of their apathy before it is too late. And if you can do that, can you then form some sort of general consensus that everyone can live with--or do we then face the possibility of anarchy? Just a thought. And that is only in the political arena. But the other point that you seem to be driving at in your post deals with the paranormal (correct??). I think that once a person begins to investigate the "oddities" that the person is confronted with a universe that is at once both terrifying and marvelous. Terrifying because it is not at all like what one imagines it to be. My previous posts on quantum theory pointed to this. QT and personal experiences have caused me to re-evaluate my thinking several times. Yet, I know others whose intellect is equal or greater than mine who cannot deal with even the possible implications of QT, let alone deal with UFOs and paranormal experiences like dreams that come true. I tended to ignore or bury my own personal experiences for a long time. But the more that I experienced, the more that I learned in what I thought was objective science, the more I had to deal with what I had experienced. I had to take out each experience and examine it and deal with the possible conclusions. I was even willing to entertain the possibility that I was not quite all there mentally. But I found that I could not ignore, bury, or run from myself--and those experiences are very much a part of me. # From: paranet!p0.f102.n268.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Paul.Faeder # Subject: Re: I dun ben thunking 'gain! # # In a message of <01 Apr 90 22:41:27>, Edward Melville @ 123/21 (1:123/21) # writes: # # > At the same time, we as human beings, and human nature the way it # >is, will not want to understand their nature, and reazoning behind their # >visit here.

Date: 6 Apr 90 01:27:36 GMT Hi Don! I've always felt that Moore appealed to a teenage mentality with his "neat-oh spy stories". The remark made by Shandera about how much "fun" they have, just confirms this. Add to this the fact that their gig was at a high school & Moore used to be a high school teacher. So how 'bout the audience? Mostly high school kids? Do you see any significance there? Also, did Moore finally admit that he *was* feeding disinformation to other ufologists? This would be an admission that he lied in saying at his Vegas speech (and at the Omega Conf.) that he did not actually do the disinforming himself -- he just reported back to Mr. Collins & Co. about the job they were doing on Bennewitz. As for his point to the effect that anyone who doesn't follow his lead is just "groping in the dark"; I'd rather grope in the dark than waste time watching someone making shadow puppets of birds.

It overtook us, and flew right in front of our car on a very sheer point of the Mt. Lemmon rd., and stopped hovering about 8' off the roadbed, blocking our path. It came upon us suddenly and very quietly, flying up the side of the mountain, extremely close to the cliff. After a little time, it turned and continued up. BTW, we were at about 6000', not long past the observation point. It looked as if it was checking out our truck, decided we were not who they wanted, anOu flew on. Either that, or they were blocking our way for some reason. We had to stop, or else. There were absolutly NO markings of any kind on this thing. No N number, and no government markings. The craft was a matt black color, and the 3 man crew (all that we could see) looked to have blue flight suits. I thought this thing might be based out of Marana for obvious reasons. It was certainly not following FAA rules, and did not look like it particularly cared. -- Michael Schwartz - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Michael.Schwartz@p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!Clark.Matthews Subject: Re: Looking For A Book Date: 6 Apr 90 07:49:00 GMT > There may well be volatile gases just below the lunar > surface, either > due to comet impacts, or possibly of primordial origin.

I don't think a 2 mm John, your post got my attention! Are you saying that EM waves can be perceived as sound? Did you know that old Nikola Tesla said the same thing 75 years ago? [Actually I believe he said that he could see no difference between EM waves and sound waves, and that as far as he was concerned, EM waves were simply extensions of sound waves...] People laughed at him of course.

Far more would be accom~rplished by Moore coming clean and naming names NOW, while the trail is still warm, then to wait for god knows how much longer until the trail is so cold and so covered up that it all gets buried.

With the research that I have been doing, mainly mutilations, and in some cases what may be human mutilations, would certainly be one reason why they would keep it hidden. Of course this is much of this has to stay speculation until such time as more information is available. The problem is prying information loose, and then being able to verify it. The other problem is, how many red herrings have been planted to throw us off the track? If Moore was right in what he said about the G. guys jamming up the circuts, then they must really get a kick out of how many people are charging full ahead around in a circle.

Date: 5 Apr 90 08:14:00 GMT Hi ya John! There were all kinds at the lecture. Every thing from the little ol' lady in tennis shoes ( that was a favorite of John Keel ) to the real serious researcher. Some kids too. As far as Moores remarks about the rest of the field groping about in the dark, I think that his ego was running rampant. Hey, I think we all know that Moore is not a shy one when it comes to telling the field what a great researcher he is. I dismiss what I feel is rampant ego talking. There is no doubt that Moore HAS done some damn good research in the past, and if you ask me, I think this COULD be by these Intelligence people, if that is what they are, decided to sidetrack good ol' Bill. I believe it is viable to think that at sometime someone saw his work on Roswell, got nervous and decided to toss him a curve ball to tie him up chasing his tail for a few years. No proof of this of course, just a feeling. But that is just how they would do it. Nothing like keeping the kiddies occupied while the big kids take care of business. What do you think?
