Re: http://www.ufomind.com/misc/1997/dec/d14-001.shtml No one has replied, so I will. There may be plenty of valid reasons for disbelieving Sherman, but these ain't them. >After interviewing Mr. Sherman and having read his book there seem to be at >least 2 undeniable facts. #1 is that he has not produced 1 official >government document that pertains to his military duty. Even Bob Lazar has >produced check stubs. If he can come out with this story, he can surely >produce documentation of his military career. Huh? His military careers seems to be well documented. Wasn't there a transfer document in his book? There is no reason to doubt that he was an ELINT officer. The only question is whether he was engaged in this "other" project at the same time - which of course is unprovable. >#2 is that no one has done a >thorough background investigation (that I am aware of at least) that >interviews his close friends, family, etc to see what kind of person he is. Yeah, right. Who are we, the CIA? Anyway, it's not Sherman's fault if no one does a background investigation on him. And if I were him, I would think twice before letting UFO nuts poke around in his closet. >All we have is a fantastical story from a person that has not proven he was >an ELINT officer and that we do not know anything about character wise. I'd say he has proven himself an ELINT officer... and what evidence does this author need to prove "character"? The fact that we don't know something has no bearing on the veracity of his claims. >First off >if a stranger told me that my mother was abducted, I would have confronted >her with it and would have tried to investigate that. A good question to ask Sherman. Frankly, I wouldn't confront my own mother with these questions, aside from maybe a little probing. In this reporter's experience, mothers tend to freak too easy, and if Mom don't seem receptive to the idea, I really wouldn't push it. >Next, he states that >he wants to have others involved to come forth and confirm his story. But >what has he done to find others besides selling his book and doing >interviews? Has he placed ads in military journals and newspapers? Ah, yes, he's supposed to place an ad in the Stars and Stripes: "Have you worked for an alien telepathic program? Support groups now forming." >Has he >staked out NSA and tried to confront likely new recruits that were being >transported in the special van? Has he tried to persuade the others that he >knew were involved in the program? Lack of action such as this could be >seen as confirming that his story is bogus:why waste time searching for >something that doesn't exist? How many flaws of logic can you find in this message? >Another thing is why just come out and write a book on this? Why not hire >an investigator to try and get some evidence....anything that he could get >from the location of the training center to names of new recruits? Medical >tests on himself to prove the tampering by aliens? After obtaining >evidence he could have gone to the news media to present his case. > >Its a good story, but without a shred of evidence or without any knowledge >of Mr. Sherman's character, I would have to say that I am not a believer. That's a believer I think we can all do without. Why does everyone have to be either a "believer" or "disbeliever"? What's wrong with just being curious?
