At the risk of being categorized with the UFO groupies, I will say that from what I know, there is an amazing amount of information and material on UFOs that has not only been kept quiet by the government, it probably constitutes an even greater threat to the national security than anything al Qaeda can throw at us.

I don't say that lightly. I strongly recommend two books for anyone wanting to read scholarly efforts on the whole UFO/abduction phenomena:

'The Threat' - by Professor David Jacobs, Temple University.

'Top Secret Majic' - Stanton T. Friedman

It is certainly easier to dismiss the entire UFO issue with jokes, ridicule, mockery, etc., but the fact remains that there IS an unexplained phenomena that has been taking place for decades, and while it has spawned endless conspiracy theories, many of them nutty as a fruitcake, there are still unanswered questions and only our government can provide the answers to those questions.

I think we have a right to know one way or the other.

I agree with the scolarly approach to the phenomenon of UFOs. After all, there is a phenomenon to be scientifically examined. But I do not believe that the phenomenon and politics are quite ready to be mixed: Poltics ( power) and Religion ( faith in UFOs) make very poor companions at the horse track. That horse aint gonna fly.

I would be more interested if Helleyer were to disclose anything he knew about the phenomenon.

Excellent points.

Thanks.

Those books and the UFO supression belief are nuts. The government leaks like a sieve! There is not a chance that something like this could be kept secret for any long length of time.
