Hopkins flew Clark to New York, whereupon Clark aggressively injected himself into matters and vigorously opposed continuing an outside investigation and reporting the alleged felonies to law enforcement authorities. He defended this position, in writing, saying: "if this story is true, it is not just a UFO case but a `politically sensitive' event because it supposedly involves a political figure of international stature...banging on the wrong doors could alert the relevant agency that two of its agents were leaking a huge secret." (Clark, 1992a, p. 1). We will let the readers decide whether Clark's initial position was compatible with "real-world" considerations. We are gratified that Clark has taken the time to comment, at length, on these issues, and in a style so typical of his level of dispassionate commentary. We caution readers that Clark perhaps may be currently acutely embarrassed by his statement quoted in point 4 and may feel the need to obscure this central issue. Nevertheless, we are pleased that he now seems to have made a cathartic conversion. REFERENCES Baskin, Anita. (1992).

When I noticed that the posting was going to be a 15-parter, I first thought: "Spare us!" - but once I started reading, I couldn't stop! What I had seen on this board by Hansen seemed, at first, like the ravings of someone who was simply excited about having a "pissing contest" with Jerry Clark. However, these guys did a great report on this case. This report reflects a lot of quality work on a goofy case. What I expect to hear next is some excitement about the acknowledgment to Phil Klass, which will be considered as "the Mark of the Devil". -- John -- John Burke - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Burke@f9.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tom.Davis@f201.n350.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Tom Davis) Subject: Re: Niles Man Vanishes?? Date: 13 Jan 93 18:49:00 GMT Very impressive - thank you. As is so frequently the situation, a little leg (let your fingers do the walking) dispells a lot of rumors. The only frustrating link is the WLS programmer who thought she remembered the story. Did she happen to remember which program host carried the item? The other side of that, of course, is that when asked a specific question people will frequently "remember" things so as not to look incompetent.

I think > in the excitement of the event, the witnesses may have 'wanted to see' > some other spectacular events. One must remain in control on one's > mental faculties and see reality. That's very true. With my sighting, I've wanted to see the things for decades now, but I've always been able to say, "Well, that's just a plane" or "Oh, that was a bolide or a shooting star" or "Oh, that's a natural phenomenon", but when I saw this thing, I kept running through the possibilities and couldn't come up with anything. I've been exposed to arial (sp?) phenomenon for a long time, especially in the Phoenix Metro area, and to some pretty weird looking natural stuff, but this just didn't fit into any catagory that I have stored away in my little mind. Of course, that does not make it an alien spacecraft from another place/dimension/whatever. Also, I never searched for independant witnesses. Does that mean there weren't any? No, it means that I felt that I know what I saw and even if it was an alien spacecraft from another whatever, it was only night lights and really didn't add to the experience of unidentifiable flying objects as a whole. Being involved with ParaNet and the FIDO UFO Echo, as well as knowing people from MUFON and other investigative organizations has helped me to realize that the incident can be very, very important to my life without meaning a major change (or even a minor change - or even an inclusion!) in the UFO community as a whole. Any argumentation over what I saw would solely be for my own benefit, and would serve only to divert the attention of the community away from potentially more important investigations (although I selfishly welcome and encourage such discussions!).

Chalmers Jr.) I was able to revisit the private library where I found the book 'The Saucers Speak' and xerox the Solex Mal words. I found a few more SM phrases, given below, and discovered that I had made a few minor errors copying the glossary by hand. OARHAE RETTO (untranslated) AWA AGFA AFFA REFIS LAQU (untranslated, may be just names) RONEM (untranslated, but may mean goodbye, over and out, etc.) VENIS VENIS ( part of incoherent text Vvs Venis Venis Tfas Ks Ar Ragif Kont Va. The last 3 words correspond to a glyph in OTOF.) Greeting to be said by arriving UFO crews: TU VEC SATUM DO PATTLA BARRAGA (untranslated) We should reply: UDUM REGAN VEC YONTO NICTUM BARRAGA (untranslated, but vec is glossed 'space,', barraga, friends.) These phrases somewhat resemble the words 'Klatu Burada Nicto' from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,' the film in which Michael Rennie and the robot GORT arrive in a UFO and land in Washington, DC. Does anyone know if this film was was released prior to 1952? Minor corrections to glossary: Adee capital city of Jupiter, called Etonya Chan 'means 'afflicted' in certain ancient languages' Elex (not Elox) ' the young son of Zo and UM' Elala '... formerly called Wogog.' Kadar Lacu also called Kalar Laqu, not Kadar Laqu Macas Neptunian cattle, not contact Nah-9 from Neptune, not Mars Ro from the Toresoton solar system, omitted Wan-4 not Waw-4 Sorry about these errors. I also saw an ad for a new book which purports to explain what it going on in Area 51 in Nevada. The book 'Nikola Tesla- Free Energy and The White Dove' by 'Commander X, former military intelligence operative,' claims that inventions of Tesla are responsible for the high speed and anti-gravity aircraft at this site. The book is a pb published by Global Communications at $9.95. It is not clear from the blurb what Tesla, who 'came from another place to alert the world of impending dangers and offer solutions to our problems,' was. -- John -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SIUCVMB.SIU.EDU!ST9996 Subject: UFO's and Mass Psychology Date: 20 Jan 93 01:33:25 GMT From: 'Curt Wilson' Hello to all ParaNet users. I am leaving this message to mention an article in the most recent issue of Psychology Today. There is an article that speaks of holy places and phenomenon, and among these are UFO's. The man's theory is that geophysical changes in the Earth's magnetic field create plasma balls, along with distorions in the human brain chemistry that induce hallucinations of the type where cultural belief patterns held by the observer (for instance, this round ball that is unknown to me is an UFO and I'll 'place' the image of a saucer on it) influence what is seen. I'm not supporting or denying his theory, merely pointing it out for those who might have an interest.

Some have called it "the three guys from Jersey having an AX to grind", and others find it very credible. The only thing I care about are the facts. I'm just as content to leave personalities out of it. What nags at me is that if Budd "loses" then we ALL LOSE. That's the bottom line here, in my opinion. Too many things bother me with this case...ie.."Dan" and "Richard" haven't been shown conclusively to exist (I've seen no evidence of that). The fact that Budd's assistant would offer up the explanation that it's "OK" to deceive or lie about facets of the case (as noted in the report); the fact that Linda _admitted_ to intentionally spreading mis-information to Joe Stefula; the fact that Budd could *not* identify the weather conditions at the time of Linda's alledged abduction event (That's incredible! and violates the BASIC tenent of investigation..ie..one of the very first items in the MUFON report form is a query on weather conditions). Other things that bother me are that Linda's "claim" as to her "blood being rejuvenated"; her claims about her "implant" (what _other_ doctor can verify that?). I could go on and on and on..my list has about 35 other "little" outpoints that just don't add up. In fact, _nothing_ I've observed, read or heard in this "story" adds up at all. With all due respect to messrs. Jacobs, Clark, Andrus, et al...I don't see where all the "beef" is..am I missing something here? While I will not begrudge Budd Hopkins to make his due share in book profits,conventions,etc..it is rather *disturbing* that we are asked to "believe" that Budd has a solid case when too many questions are being posed and we are hearing _nothing_ but silence from the principals in the case, who (ostensibly) are supposedly looking after UFOlogy's "best interests" by virtue of their integrity and reputation. This is NOT the way to go about it. Admittedly these are *my* opinions and do not reflect any organization but I have to wonder why is it that it takes someone like the "3 guys from Jersey" to stir this pot up and even though their approach is unorthodox, I've seen no one other than Jerome Clark (who mainly took pot shots, no factoids were enumerated) address Stefula, Butler and Hansen's claims? This _shouldn't_ be a "pissing contest" between the "3 guys from Jersey" versus Andrus,Clark,Hopkins,etc but yet in a phone conversation with Joe Stefula, he told me that _because_ they would not address their questions (reasonable ones I might add) that they decided to "push the issue" on their own. As you can well imagine, this report hasn't been received in some quarters, but lest anyone should mis-understand my missive here, I wish to re-iterate again that I could care less about "party politics", or personalities. I'm just "after the Facts, Ma'm" . Further, unless I can see concrete proof to sustantiate claims here in the next few months, I'm going to be inclined to dismiss this whole affair as a complete fantasy. I've yet to see anything to change my viewpoint as of yet, but I am willing to keep "a channel open". One thing, IMHO, that doesn't do much to help Budd's credibility is that we are asked to "wait until the book comes out and then you'll know the whole story". That doesn't auger very well, nor does it support his case to offer up such explanations. Dr. Jacobs is more than welcome to dis-agree, but he should understand than in the scientific world, facts are generally given to substantiate claims, and peer pressure nothwithstanding, there have been NO such facts offered up to the "great unwashed" of those of us on these various UFO echoes and Nets that would hold water. Heck, there's been absolutely _no_ proof to demonstrate that "Richard" or "Dan" even exist! I'm certainly glad that it doesn't fall on *my* shoulders to prove Linda's contention that her "blood rejuvenates" ! :} Don -- Don Allen - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Don.Allen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve.Gresser@f100.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (Steve Gresser) Subject: UFO's and Mass Psychology Date: 21 Jan 93 22:23:00 GMT > UFO's.

Thank you for that information, Curt!

(PXRR66A) SUBJECT: UFO - BROADCAST Brenda, Following is the entire text of a letter I wrote to Mr. John Schuessler who has been considered to be the authority on the Cash/Landrum incident. I note that he is the intimate friend and co-whatever of Walt Andruss the founder and director of MUFON. Also, he is a scientist at McDonnell Douglas who was promoted to a high ranking position with the company at THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME when he went `mute' about the Cash/Landrum incident. I also point out that I acquired a lot of the answers I was seeking from Mr. Schuessler who never answered the letter. Also, I know for a FACT that he - personally - received it. It may take me two posts to get it all up. Also, everything in double brackets is a comment "<< >>" and not part of the letter. Dated: January 26, 1990 To: Mr John F. Schuessler Sent to: Box 58485, Houston, Texas 77258-8485 << letter follows >> "Dear John, As you may already be aware, things are beginning to `happen' rather quickly concerning the UFO/B-2 connection. In the course of these recent `happenings', I have been pointed in a direction that leads to your doorstep. I ask that you please take a few moments to read this letter as I try to explain. I think you are already familiar enough with my work so I'll begin by saying that Mr.Antonio Huneeus << noted UFO writer for N.Y.Tribune and other world publications who wrote numerous articles on my story later >> drove in from New York with Mr. Bill Knell << at the time: Editor of NY UFO Report, NY Director of MUFON, member-spokesperson and Director of Investigations for Island Skywatch Steering Committee, member of UFINET Board of Approval - who later wrote me a letter stating: "I believe you have hit the nail right on the head as far as the `Westchester Wing' object goes. I believe that your story has more than important local implications, but may explain many interesting sightings around the world." >> to attend my UFO/B-2 model introduction in Wethersfield, Connecticut last Saturday night under near blizzard conditions. Ironicaly, I must give thanks to the `great snow God in the sky' for being re- sponsible for a reduction in attendance which enabled me to spend more time with Tony and Bill. This led to a situation where Antonio became very familiar with all my work and where he recorded over 2 hours of discussion and photo's. A few days later, I telephoned Antonio to thank him (again) for driving the distance under such adverse condit- ions. It was during this conversation that he asked if I felt there `may' be a connection between the `anti-gravity' technology that I believe to be deployed on the Hudson Valley B-2 and the `Cash/Landrum' craft. Since I only vag- uely remembered having heard of the incident, Tony gave me a `capsule' overview which freshened my memory about having learned of the episode in the documentary film `UFO COVER UP' last year. He went on to mention that YOU are the leading aurhority on the subject and that I should pursue the matter because he felt there `may' be a connection. He suggested I call Bob Bletchman (with whom I speak on the phone almost daily) for mare details and that I contact you directly. << Bob Bletchman was/is the International Public Relations Officer of MUFON who at a press conference at the Whole Life Expo in New York city fully endorsed my investigation and findings. >> Before writing this letter, John, I did call Bob and he filled me in with a general `over-view' about the whole incident. He also recommended I contact you. Normally, John, because of the `dis-similarity' between the Cash/Landrum craft and the B-2, I would probably have dismissed all of this, however, there are a few `details' that compelled me to follow-up with this letter. Specif- ically, one concerns the fact that these ladies suffered `radiation' exposure which, to me, implies they `may' have been exposed to `something nuclear' - perhaps a test vehicle for the `anti-gravity technology' that is deployed on the UFO/B-2! << UFO version >> Before going on, let me inject that Northrop, in the Washington Post article I included in my next-to-last paper, is reported to have `redundant computer facilities' in both Seattle and `somewhere' in Texas. << I later learned that LTV of Texas was `first' on-board in B-2 production. >> Be- yond this, I have an official UFO sighting report from a lady in the Seattle area who sighted a Hudson Valley type of craft in her area. It was filed with CUFOS and forwarded to me by Mark Rodeigher. << of CUFOS >> The `Texas' location of the Northrop facility is an unknown (to me at least).
