Hello Nick,
So, what's your point? I came to the same conclusion over 18 months
ago, after investigating Ufology for only three months! You should be able
to find my posts in the UFO Updates archives. Other than producing some
pulp fiction and a few terrible docu-dramas, I haven't seen a darn thing to
impress me. I mean no offense to any one individual, as I know and have
spoken to several well-intentioned, determined researchers.
At the risk of repeating myself,,, I have the training and
experience to do a quick, down and dirty evaluation of investigation efforts
which have been made public to date, along with an overview of the entire
field. The bottom line, very little has changed from the 1970's. Truely
aggressive, effective scientific efforts are not being made, at least not to
the public.
Perhaps others feel as I do. I wasted many months tring to track
down so-called organizations such as the Phoenix Group and others. You
would think that anyone with any real pull would have picked up on what I
was writing and checked my credentials with DIS and/or DOD. After all, guys
with my training, background and rating don't grow on trees, (contrary to
the mass media, which would have you believing that there is a spook under
every bush). Until things change, I will continue a solo investigation. Is
this wise, hell no! Will it help Ufology, probably not.
Until something changes I will continue to enjoy the wonderful work
of Errol and others, to provide an open forum of discussion. The subject
sure beats politics!
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Rice
