- *** ANNOUNCEMENT ***
-
- As of September 1st 1994, I will be retiring from UFO research and
- investigations. My tenure in UFO research has in some ways been very
- rewarding, especially the many close friendships that I've developed and
- enjoyed over the years. In many other ways the effects of my involvement
- have been quite debilitating, especially to my family. I don't like what
- I've seen this phenomenon do to otherwise concerned rational people,
- including myself. The malicious libel, slanderdistortion and unchecked
- fabrication that runs rampant in the UFO field is destructive and
- counterproductive. My belief is that UFOs are indeed real and that the
- management and spokespersons for ufology suffer greatly from egocentricity
- and self-importance when the evidence is clear that few really care much
- beyond the novelty. Therefore, I've decided to extricate myself from this
- eternal abyss and return to the family life that I've sorely neglected.
-
- Myfinal effort over the course of the summer will be dedicated to writting
- and publishing the truth of the matter regarding the guardian UFO Landing
- investigation in the Carp area of Ontario, Canada. My archives and research
- will be turned over to a private research institute where my work will
- continue. the institute is dedicated solely to unmitigated acedemic
- discourse and scientific research into UFO organizations, government nor
- public media. The institute wishes to remain anonymous at this time. Anyone
- interested in a synopsis of my research and the discoveries that I've made
- over the years can contact Project Awarness for a copy of the video tape of
- my farewell presentation. Their Address is PO Box 730, Gulf Breeze, Fl
- 32562. I do not share in the proceeds. After September 1st, I will not
- accept any orders for UFO materials which I have made available to assist
- in my research costs. For those of you who have maitained an interest in my
- research efforts, I thank you sincerely for your support and encouragement.
- It is because of you that I regret that this decision has become necessary.
-
- My final opinion is that there is no mystery to the UFO phenomenon, the
- real mystery involves the sociology of how it affects and polorizesthose
- drawn to it. This may be the best reason for government secrecy. There is a
- great need for comprehensive change in the attitude and management of the
- current UFO organizational approach to UFO study if the subject matter is
- ever to recieve and retain the attention of serious scientific
- professionals. My final recommendation for those seriously interested in
- the potential scope and possible origions of the UFO Phehomenon is to read
- "Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku (1994 Oxford University Press, nonfiction).
- Farewell all of my friends, colleagues and antagonists, good luck in all
- your endevours.
