I have had a 20-year friendship with a college roomate who has spent his adult life living and working in DC. He started out working for a liberal think tank, moved into mid-level Whitehouse position in Clinton's first admin and now is working for a well known new-age buisness consultant/writer. Needless to say, he is moderately successful and definitely placeable on the left of most issues.

From the early 80's through (and including) the first Clinton administration, he claimed to be visited yearly by alien abductors. He would speak to me about it when I questioned him... and I was careful not to mock him. I don't think I was ever convinced... but it was crystal clear to me that he was convinced.

When he left the Whitehouse job, he refused to talk about the abductions ever again. To this day, he simply refuses to talk about it.

He once offered me some physical evidence of a visitation/abduction, but I found it overwhelmingly dismissable. I tried to keep an open mind, but ultimately, I have to conclude that in his case, it may well be hallucinatory.

I stress that he is not a half-witted bum. He is by most people's measures successful. I suspect there are quite a few people out there who believe they have been abducted by aliens.

I certainly agree with you that many successful and rather normal people have alien encounters. But for William Cooper it was an industry, he made money from it. After a falling out over intellectual capital, it appears that Cooper changed his story. He was able to host a radio show and in addition to his renewed faith in Jesus, he sought to clear his "misunderstanding" about alien conspiracy.

If you have read any of the links on this thread, curiously, many are blocked or removed for some reason, read this one. I think that such a reversal of alien knowledge has a financial basis, but I simply find the whole thing entertaining.

The man is dead. Certainly a tragedy. I do not belittle anything about him, I just read. I am really curious to discover what others consider as the reasons Cooper was killed. I enjoy reading things like this and at the same time I am regretful that I learned about this all after his death.
