Subject: Re: The question of UFO witness anonymity

List,

    The recent posts regarding Linda Cortile have compelled me to share
my opinion on this issue. I'm not sure how Linda's identity got
compromised, but it is a real shame. She has the right to a life free of
UFO researchers calling her at all hours, writing her, ect.

    Some people(Jim Moseley)  always point out her real last name
figuring that now that some people know it, why not let everybody in on
the secret. Regardless of your opinions of Linda and her case she has a
right to privacy. People trust us with their information and in doing so
risk ridicule from both other UFO researchers as well as the public at
large. If this disturbing trend continues less witnesses will come
forward.

    The bottom line should be that if you have an anonymous witness,
they should stay that way. My congratulations to Linda on her son's
small role in "Two Bits"!


Regards,
Scott K. Hale
