I believe most researchers laughed at this idea the sightings known as event #3 were flares. He came in with a flimsy report and claimed he could "prove" they were flares. His report explained next to nothing. To understand why he may have come up with these theories we must look back into his past "research?" The newest list of Motzers' 180 degree turns on UFO cases. 1. Tim Edwards, Salida footage, Motzer said it was real and very good footage. Later he changes his story to optics inside the camera. Soon afterwords he 180's and says its a spider web... 2. Tom Kings, Phoenix footage of a clyinder. Motzer obtained a copy from me and in December of 1995 he went to Channel 15 in Phoenix with it. Richard was claiming he shot my footage and was taking credit for the video.(Sound familar?). I jumped Richard about this after I found out what happened and he claimed it was an accident. I have the news copy to prove he did this. Then he 180's the footage and says its a spider web... 3. Russia footage, UFO video of a clyinder taped in Russia. Richard believed this was a real event too. Then after he believes spider webs can explain everything the same theory now applies to the Russian footage. 4. March 13, 1997, UFOs over Phoenix. Richard was busy collecting all the videos he could on these sighting. He then sat on all these videos and didn't share any copies with local researchers. Then we start hereing FOX and other networks have all the footage less than 2 weeks after the 13th. Apparently he was sending the footage to the networks because hes the only one who has all the footage. He has said several times to the media that these lights couldn't have been flares. Then he has a rare opportunity to present the UFO data to a city official and Richard comes to debunk the story with flares. What kind of researcher does this? Theres lots of eyewitness testimony about this, including flare video, airtraffic controllers, pilots, military experts, and computer evidence to prove they weren't flares. 5 airtraffic controllers saw and it said it wasn't flares, two of them were on the "Extra" show. Nobody believes they're flares, except Motzer, not even the Luke Air Force Base believes it. You see there are about 5 videos on the night of March 13th including my video. Most of these videos are of Event #3 at 10:00 p.m. over the Estrella Mountains. Only one video was shot of Event #1, the V-formation that flew down the state. I have talked to this person and agreed not to reveal any infomation about their identity. He would only say he turned his "Event #1" video turned over to Richard Motzer and it's his now. He wants nothing to do with the UFO community or media and I respected that wish. So after Richard debunks the other 4 videos of Event #3 that leaves only Event #1 left, his video. I will also make a note that his sudden 180 turns on UFO cases in Phoenix have absolutely nothing to do with Bill Hamilton's recent resignation as Asst. State Dir. of MUFON. Nor does it have anything to do with Mr. Hamilton and I becoming members of Skywatch International. Many people in Phoenix are wondering who is this guy? Where did he come from? and is he in CSICOP?
