They pitched the "Free Masons" quite a bit. In the opinion of many Vance Davis was long and boring but he's an interesting man and not a Pro speaker and comes off sincere. Hoagland is something else! Not a hair out of place and an excellent speaker of 19.5. I doubt 19.5 had anything to do with the mass sightings. Most people were out looking at the Hale-Bopp during that time. He had some nice big screen tv's, live radio hookups and appeared to be a BONO/ZOOTV wannabe. It was different, it was cool. It was obvious that he did "clean up" in Phoenix grossing a small fortune. Just to let people know about how much it looks like this. Estimated... 1,500 people at $20 dollars on Sunday =$30,000 1,500 people at $45 dollars on Monday =%67,500 _______________________________________________ Total gross = $97,500 Not to mention it was videotaped for massive cassette sales later. His circus must cost some money to finance also, but the fact is this proves that a few people in the UFO business are making lots of money. I refer to people like this as "after math consultants" They come in after some type of UFO case and use their names to cash in on the hype. Usually they write books or make videos and know little about the cases their making money off of. I'm not saying there aren't good UFOlogists who investigate and do exhausting reports, like Linda Moulton Howe for example... I just think its insulting for some "expert" whos been making predictions for weeks that are not panning out. To come to my neck of the woods and explain what its all about while making over a 100 grand (big bucks) and never had talked to any witnesses before arriving, or watching the videos. It was simply an orichstrated money making event. I'll had already planned a nearly all day stake out at the UFO hotspot (the Estrella mountains) 3 1/2 weeks ago to be done on July 20. If something happens we'll capture it on film and video and release it on the net. Hoagland had better hope "something big" happens or his hyperdimensional pyschics will look bad. I hope the best for the rich dude. Just wish he cared about what he's making money off of.
