Peter Jennings Gives 
UFOlogists A Hand. 
By Charlette LeFevre 
2-17-5 
 
"More than 80 million Americans believe the earth has been visited by
extraterrestrials" 
"More than 40 million Americans believe they have seen or know someone
who has seen an unidentified flying object." 
  
Peter Jennings feels the answers to UFOs may be in these statistics, a
subject for his upcoming ABC Special "Seeing is Believing" to air Feb.
24th. A ground making special itself as this will be the first time
the subject of UFOs has been taken on personally by a major network
anchor. Jennings said "This is one of the most interesting subjects
I've worked on" when he was taping for a Northwest Afternoon program
in Seattle February 16th in front of a small audience. 
  
Investigative Reporter. 
  
The show provided a format which highlighted Peter Jenning's broadcast
career starting from the age of nine, his notable interviews with
foreign leaders and presidents, a clip of him stating tenaciously to
the American public "We are going to stay on the air until NASA has
told us what it knows" and a clip of him holding a piece of the Berlin
Wall. The program also commented on his recent trip to Iraq and his
first interview with Bill Gates just that morning. The show gave him a
chance to show himself, his witty humor behind his handsome smile and
indeed that he can even blush when a female audience member called him
"hot, suave, elegant and awesome". Everyone agrees with applause which
makes Peter turn even more red and smile. Yes, he is hot. 
He is also inquiring and a bit of his drive might be indicative in his
last special on the JFK Assassination. I believe Peter Jennings
doesn't want important information to be overlooked to leave future
generations wondering why media didn't responsibly ask the questions. 
When asked why a UFO special, Peter Jennings stated he didn't know as
much about this subject until about a year ago when he started filming
this special but "as I keep telling people I work for the news
division of ABC not the entertainment division and when 80 million
people are interested in something, I wanted to investigate." 

lol what a piece of bullshit
He's hot, he doesn't know shit about the topic, he's ABC's pick for a
documentary, and he's gonna make the UFO question progress by all
these virtues. Right.

On the show a sneak peek of his special was previewed which showed UFO
photos, a sighting case involving police and statements from
abductees. I was able to ask Peter Jennings if he himself has had any
personal sightings or experiences. Peter Jennings related no but
stated he raises an issue in his program that if he did have a
sighting who would he call? Who would he tell?

apparently, a year ago, before he was asked to the job, he had never
thought out of mainstream thought on the UFO issue. Pardon me, he
still isn't, and obviously won't.

He urgently pointed out
the government would say they are not in the business of UFOs and
dismiss the call but might be referred to a man called Peter
Davenport. Peter Jennings then excitedly announced Davenport's
presence in the audience.

can anyone read that crap and not see the load of show business that
it is?
I wont read any further lol

Jennings has been working on his special
program and had previously contacted Peter Davenport, the Director of
the National UFO Reporting Center which was founded in 1972 by retired
Seattle firefighter Robert Gribble. 
Davenport stated the ABC special on UFOs may be a "landmark program"
and significant in the sense it may allow people to feel more
comfortable to discuss this issue as he felt there was a certain
degree of suppression of this subject. 
  
First Responders. 
  
Peter Jennings mentioned " Because so many of the people we
interviewed actually turned out to be the very kind of people who in
this day and age - the first responders we rely on - airline pilots,
both commercial and military, people who work in the police and I was
very struck by the seriousness of the people who believed in this and
talk about it. 
  
I was also struck - and you see alot in the program - how government
failed, all the way from the 1940s when the first UFOs became an
issue, how government failed to take this seriously." 
  
Jennings then stated Davenport at least may like that they took the
issue seriously and the people involved in UFOlogy seriously. 
  
Without a doubt this is what every UFOlogist and interested person in
UFOs has been dreaming about - serious recognition on the
"six-o'clock" news. 
Groundbreaking and relieving that this breakthrough has occurred in
our lifetime. We can now sit our kids in front of the TV in the same
way our parents and grandparents watched the moon landing and tell
them they are watching something historical. 
  
But something else happened that should be known. 
  
The Handshake. 
  
When the film stopped rolling between segments, Peter Jennings
unexpectedly got up from his chair, walked across the stage over to
where Peter Davenport was sitting and respectfully shook Peter
Davenport's hand. Then he quickly sat down. 
  
Wow. I think something happened here. Something monumental. 
  
A feeling that a wall between people and the media regarding UFOs that
has been in place for years just shattered. 
  
I believe at that very moment of the handshake, UFOlogy was suddenly
recognized by mainstream media and along with that to some degree the
importance of sightings and experiences of millions of people was
acknowleged. 
  
I didn't hear a chorus of angels or see a beam of light shine down

>from the heavens - it was after all a simple handshake but I would

like to think that whatever prompted the handshake, with an exchange
of kind words, there was a silent acknowlegement of respect for a
fellow reporter, perhaps a common feeling of understanding of our
humanity or even if you will an imagined cosmic cellular transfer of
information. In any manner, I believe our understanding of asking the
question if we are alone in the universe just got a helping hand.
