Didn't Hoagland used to be an actual legitimate person of some kind, once?
Oh, he's an actual legitimate person alright. No doubt about it. He's a human being. But I find it hard to believe that anyone could spout the continuous stream of howlers that he does and not have some mental illness which permits him to believe it. Did you know, for example, that NASA chooses launch dates and such based on numerological or Freemasonic symbolism? Me either.

"In regards to the arrival of extra-terrestrials and the destruction of Phoenix, Arizona, the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute detected a signal in the direction of the star called EQ Pegasi in the Pegasus Constellation in September of 1998. The SETI institute dismissed the signal and no attention was paid to it until an amateur radio astronomer named Paul Dore in England picked up the same signal. A series of strange events ranging from a called off press conference, a SETI denial and then support of the theory of the signal, intimidation of Mr. Dore by the NSA and disinformation put out in the press has been decoded with Freemasonic symbolism by Richard C. Hoagland of the Enterprise Mission. This became known as the EQ Pegasus Saga."
