You were acting as though you >had some right to demand answers from me when I had told you I could not >provide certain information which I had agreed to keep confidential. Attitude can be a very useful source sometimes. Too many interested people give Ufologists that are in the book-business too much slack if you ask me. I've been a journalist for 12 years and I have never ever been given true answers by being nice and drop a serious question (as I have discovered to many times afterwards). I can't see that I have ever used any kind of "demanding questions". I have simply asked you, straight forward, to answer some questions me and others are asking ourself due to your part of the AA-film. >>if you recieved $2000 by Santili for expences - doesn't that make you >>disqualified to be neutral? >I received $ 2,000 from Ray Santilli and $ 250 from Lou Farish. That's my >total income from this to date. I have spent more than $ 10,000 in my >investigations. >The $ 2,000 was reimbursement for part of my expenses for a trip to New >Mexico to look for the crash site, a trip which was totally inconclusive. >Don't you think that if Ray had "bought" me I would have certainly found >a crash site, and it would have been just where "Jack" said it was? What would suggest that there ever was a crashsite at the location you visited? Wouldn't it be quite "clean-picked" by now? And how did you come up with a location? From the cameraman? >As I've said before, I get paid for consulting work all the time, as well as >getting reimbursement for expenses. No one has ever suggested before that >this would influence the results of my work. Maybe to some people $ 2,000 >is a whopping lot of money, but to me it is less than I earn in a week in >my "real job", and so highly unlikely to influence me. If you earn so much money, why expressing your sadness of not being paid enough and in need of publishers money? Wouldn't it seem more "upright/honest" to not take money from the man (Ray Santili) you're supposed to investigate and give us the truth about in your upcoming book? - as you seem to be able to afford it. >As far as what Hesemann and Mantle got, they have both responded to this >themselves and since I was not party to any negotiations and did not >personally witness any money changing hands, I prefer to reserve comment >on this. I have heard no rumors about Santilli fixing up Philip's house, >and doubt there would be any substance to them. >Bob I respect this and I will contact them personally. Jorgen / WUFOC
