Dear Errol:

I passing this message on to you from my good friend Fran Ridge of
PROJECT LUNASCAN and the UFO FILTER CENTER...

UFO FILTER CENTER MESSAGE

URGENT!!!!!!

In business or government, when something important occurs that needs to
be addressed or countered, someone knowledgeable and assigned to the
task makes a statement or holds a press conference.

I have been saying this for years: THE SERIOUS PORTION OF THE UFO
COMMUNITY NEEDS A SPOKESMAN! I assumed that MUFON would have one eons
ago, then later assumed the Coalition would have one. The UFO community
misses the boat every time an event occurs, good or bad. Someone, who
knows the subject well, should have made a statement regarding this
event. If this was done, I never saw any mention of it on the news, nor
heard anything about it on the internet. We need a person with the
caliber and charisma of a Dr. James McDonald, someone who knows the
subject and does not come off as a "believer" or fanatic. This is one of
the prime reasons why I do not belong to MUFON any longer. If NICAP
still existed, I would be a member TODAY.

As a 37-year veteran of ufology, from NICAP to MUFON & CUFOS, I will do
anything and everything I can to change this situation. This has got to
be a priority among serious UFO researchers or our decades of hard work
will be wasted and our hard-won credibility will be down the tubes. We
will revert from volunteer professionals back to hobbiests, from
UFOlogists to UFOlogists.
