with researchers and people who were mentioned in coverage of sightings.”
“There’s no scientific basis on which to say, ‘We humans are the only form of life
in the universe.’ Surveys indicate more than 50 percent of Americans believe
in UFOs.”
“My former boss, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, told me he was utterly con-
vinced that we humans are in contact with aliens, primarily because high-ranking
officials of several national governments, on the basis of their military stud-
ies, told him so.”
“The recent admission by the Pentagon that UFOs are real and demonstrate ad-
vanced technology and inexplicable flight characteristics [the June report from the
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force] is probably part of a larger operation
in which they are preparing the public to receive information that otherwise
could freak out a whole lot of people.”
“Despite recent revelations, I still believe there is a government coverup of actual
contact between select members of the military and the intelligence community
and aliens. I can only guess the purpose is the arranging and exchange of
information about alien technology for tacit permission to continue abduc-
tions of people.”
“I believe the ultimate revelation yet to come is the admission there are hybrid
