When I read your post regarding George >>Filer as testifing before the staff members of congress...I >>wanted to vomit. >HI Linda, good to see your post on Filer, maybe that will stir up some >discussion. At least on UpDates both sides of the story can be heard and >argued. I was very surprised by the exchange about George Filer. I've gotten to know George very well, and he certainly is no generic debunker. He does not believe in Linda's story, but even she must admit that this is a very difficult story to believe. George has been a great help to me in my research on the AA film, and never once have I had the feeling that he was trying to steer things toward a debunking. Disbelieving in an incredible case does not make someone a debunker. On a different topic: >Kent is like a general who gathers support and takes a leadership role into >battle only to say I don't believe in this war anymore right when his people >are getting shot to pieces. To go public at this critical time in Roswell >history is just outrageous for someone in a leadership position. Such >timing could hardly be a coincidence. >There will be those that argue that Ed is jumping the gun here. That we >haven't yet seen a public statement. I say by the time we see a public >statement the damage in the press will already have been done. Fine time >then to argue the case.! In this situation I say bite first and ask >questions later. I am so tired of debunkers getting the benefit of the doubt >when real witnesses get hammered over and over. >Any responsible leader would have kept his personal opinions to himself at >least till after the battle. If he had any reservations whatever he never >should have taken a leadership role. I like many others feel that our trust >has been betrayed by this man. Very well said, Ed. If Kent Jeffrey has lost his confidence in the Roswell event, then he has an obligation to keep his damned mouth shut. I am outraged by this man, who has produced nothing productive in UFO research, and now seems poised to destroy the one positive and productive thing he had a chance to do. His debunking attempt, pathetic as it was, of the AA film in the MUFON Journal should have tipped his hand to anyone halfway paying attention a long time ago. Bob
