Ed,

In his latest newsletter Phil Klass comes down hard on me for being
critical of Kent Jeffrey.  Here is what Phil says:

>_Rumors of Kent Jeffrey's New Roswell Views Trigger Shockwaves on
>Internet_: While it is to be expected that crashed-saucer believers
>would be surprised at Jeffrey's recent change-of-heart on the Roswell
>Incident, they are leveling harsh accusations against him _without
>waiting to read his explanation to see if it might change their own
>views_.  For example, _Bob Shell_ (an early SCAM supporter) suggests
>that Jeffrey might have been a covert debunker who disguised his true
>views.  Shell commented: " I knew Kent for what he really was when
>he wrote that bullshit thing {article] on Alien Autopsy for MUFON.
>He is, in truth, a wolf in sheep's clothing...."


I have now read Kent's declaration which a number of people have
very kindly forwarded to me.  No, it is not as bad as I thought.
It is, in fact, a lot worse!!!

As you found when you read it, Ed, it is simple debunkery, and not
very sophisticated debunkery at that.  Are we to believe that Kent
was really a serious, dedicated Roswell researcher and then had his mind
changed by this puny "evidence"?  I think not.  My advice to others is
read it.  It's pretty widely available now.  And if this reads like
someone who has had a serious change-of-heart (to borrow Phil's hyphens),
then so be it.  But if, instead, it reads like a debased attempt to
throw road blocks in front of serious disclosure and research, all
should join in your call on Jeffrey to remove himself from the
issue at once.  He can only do harm now.

And: Note to Phil, since someone is obviously forwarding these posts
to you.  No, it does not read like a serious researcher's change of
heart.  It reads like an experienced (shall we say professional)
debunker's attempt to pretend a change of heart, and it changes
my mind about NOTHING..  As I said before, Jeffrey is making himself
into the Benedict Arnold of UFOlogy.
