Regarding "Robert A. M. Stephens" - Latest First

Healthy introspection Overspecialized, stagnant, unfriendly to new idea and burdened with orthodoxy; ufology needs the kind of stress people like Stephens pose. There has become a built-in offensive to challenge and attack anyone coming forth from the inside. Which, indeed, couldn't have been better orchestrated if it were by military/agency coverup specialists. If one follows, this mayhem closely, you find Stephens to have the only poignant statements to make. And it is high time honest researchers disengaged themselves from providing titillating entertainment for the likes of Art Bell. There is such a thing as bad publicity, at least to honest effort. JCH -- JCH 5/11/99 (#7)

isn't it amazing? Isn't it amazing that every link that disagrees with the 'real' Bob Stephens can't be accessed? All the links shodow to Behold, and his personal propoganda. It's amazing how many fake seal busters have commented on Bob. I've heard he's changed his story, and now he was a 'civilian contractor' with the teams. What next? A trip back in time to Nazareth? -- Troy A. McSpadden (chrystopher@hotmail.com ) 4/19/99 (#6)

RAMS's ID cards are clumsy forgeries The "proof" presented that RAMS was a clandestine operative consists of various meaningless ticket stubs ("NASA Documentation" just means he was a desktop publishing guy, not James Bond) mixed with forged IDs (why the same haircut in all the pictures?). You can see the tape edges where his name is stuck on the diving card Enlarge the Phoenix card and you can see that the Cambodia lettering was put over the picture with Photoshop: exact pixel alignment for each letter stroke. Conclusion: fake. -- Neils Estrada-Feuchtwanger 4/15/99 (#5)

Nah, You Got It All Wrong Folks See, you people just don't get it. I know this Stephens pretty well. Lately he is coming out of a severe cross dressing phase and he still will show up at various functions, like greek night, in a lovely chiffon gown. So, he's got some problems. But he never vidcammed himself in a skull and bones T shirt. Robert A.M. Stephens 406-745-3818 sti3818@montana.com nice try Keith, er, Mr.Vandersnhifen or whomever. -- RAMS (sti3818@montana.com ) 4/14/99 (#4)
