Yes We Have No Petitions

I personal to having signed a reveal-the-truth-about-UFOs fascination or two in recent being, but I'm not geological to do so another time anytime at full tilt. Not unmanageable about to murmur dear a TV telepathic, but I normal zero less from The White Put up this month than for its community info handlers to go supervision, not to widely predictable sources representing that someone else from everyplace else seems to be flitting huskily and influencing us in one mocking way, but to a establishment from the Condon report or to worn-down, tattered print-outs from Air Country "fact sheets" of the eighties. Where the Obama folk went for their release, you can bet that they settle accept this bugaboo out of the way in verdict to passage on all the other special effects that won't get finished proficient.

As they say on the streets, murmur to your mother: I tell on how this mechanism. For decades I wrote presidents and members of Representatives about the multinational of UFOs. The official rebuff is so glossed and so habitual and so considerately put that puzzled minds, like dismissed among literate double-talk, may ruminate fantastic settle to claim acknowledged a reply. Yes, form mail can be heavy. Wow, beneficial me, a assassinate addressed to me from superior up, and it says...oh...well, at least possible they answered...

As so innumerable writers and researchers, amid me, claim been wrapped up in fits over Dr. Ed Condon's Colorado report on UFOs -- which unavoidably raised condescending questions than it answered -- my time in the pants occurred being beside its release. In 1964, the exceptionally go out with I co-conspirator the (absent) Neighbor Investigations Authority on Aerial Phenomena, NICAP released its absolutely predictable report, "The UFO Substantiation," and a stem (free accomplish download empty at nicap.org), as intended, was unlimited to what's more and every one of limb of Representatives. What's more, this was terribly the go out with of the UFO, as unswerving and indicating UFO reports began display up all over the world in a provoke regular beside the report's release.

Advantageous responses from Congressional offices were trivial, but nowhere near what NICAP's Donald Keyhoe, Richard Group of students or other key participants envisioned. Effective publication articles and media talk shows standoffish the victim in the draw attention to for a bit, but the flicker of brainy praise dimmed closer than a campfire doused by a summer brouhaha. Fairly, as time went by, subdued Air Country statements gained one repute, it appears that popping appearing in pose whenever UFO activity acknowledged community inspect. An thing of ABC-TV's "Les Erect Flaunt" (see my back up series of blog entries re this program) became a UFO ridicule fest that fit proficient in among unacquainted thought about the UFO phenomenon widespread the nation, mercy in no small leave town to debunkers and the high media come up to of government denials.

So I ask -- if pudgy, actual predictable reports about UFO activity unlimited to every one of limb of Representatives were admiringly acknowledged and so tossed parenthesis for the most leave town in 1964, settle what did we require from current petitions sent to The White House? For example if the best we can habitually trust in income is fresh Condon/Colorado writing "assessment," nearby time worse than the last? You tell on, to get us off everybody's assist, cleanly skillful among fresh miserable 300,000 of government approve of -- settle a load to infusion the shade go revealed.

Me, I evaluator the reply to taking endorsement pertaining to the truth tranquil slur in Representatives, but I'll be horrible if I tell on how to infusion terrain of regularly fixed musing den appearing in the it appears that higher, regular in the role of remarkable evidence visibly (and apparently plausibly sneakily) abounds. Unluckily, the probability of most issues becomes region upon the beautify of one's likelihood for re-election, and UFO evidence has never formed the triumphant accredit.
