Big snip here to make a point and to keep EBK happy.

Hello Greg and List,

It looks like we're going to have to come up with a term that defines
UFO books or incidents that use dead people as witnesses; such as
MJ-12 documents and Corso's book. Dennis Stacy makes a point when he
says it looks like Corso had to wait until Gen. Trudeau died before he
went ahead with 'The Day After Roswell'. In other circles the use of
powerful names in books, letters or conversations is called name
dropping, but those people are usually still alive.

As for the use of company names like Bell Labs, if the company denies
it then it is more fuel for the conspiracy argument, which can
actually bolster the writer's argument. "Me thinks he doth protest too
much...", or in other words, they're trying to hide something.

From what I've been reading about TDAR I'm sure this book is a setup.
But you know...I still want to read the damn thing.

Regards,
Don Ledger
