John posted some comments from Peter Robbins, co-author of "Left at
East Gate", which read:

>My own, and my co-author's conversations with Mr. Halt were recorded
>(with his knowledge and permission) and transcribed; they appear in
>the book.

>Quoting from them, and from Mr. Randle's comments on the internet,

     >Randle: . . Halt in various interviews after the events has said
     >that there were only two nights, no third.

     >Robbins (to  Halt): . It involved the approximate time of the
     >incident.

     >Halt: which incident? There were three nights. (p.328)


John,

Perhaps we can deduce that Halt says there were three nights, not
three incidents.

We know there were two claimed incidents, apparently over a period
of three nights. Halt has been quite categorical about this.


>Charles Halt told Larry: "I think you sincerely believe what you're
>saying, and you may be right, and I can't say you're lying, but I
>find flaws here and there that I have to resolve for myseIf."

Diplomatically put. As I've mentioned, Halt expands on these views
elsewhere. For example, from the recent "Project watchfire" article on
the Rendlesham Forest case:

"Anywhere there's a vacuum something moves it to fill it up," says
Halt. "There's one individual who's travelled around, made the talk
show circuit and claims to have been present for the incidents. He's
what I call a wanna-be, someone who maybe was hanging on the edge,
picking up pieces of information. He's claimed the wing-commander went
out and made contact with holographic aliens and that we helped them
repair their craft and all kinds of things. None of which are true,"
says Halt".


The problem is not simply that the promotion of Warren's claims
obscures the more credible evidence, it unfortunately does so at a
time when there may be some real breakthroughs in the case, when
significant evidence is being added and the issues are becoming much
clearer.

There are apparently plans for a substantial promotional campaign in
the UK, when "Left at East Gate" is shortly published.  A "media blitz"
I'm led to believe and Nick Pope's name has been mentioned as part of
the campaign team.

No doubt the tabloids will take a brief interest in the story of an
American airman who was hypnotised and "recalled" being kidnapped by
aliens in an underground English airbase...or however they report it.
Certain journalists with the influential newspapers may also delight
in completely ridiculing the Rendlesham Forest case, without still
understanding the true issues.

And the book will probably sell more copies.

But there are some serious concerns about the impact this
will have on the perception of what is perhaps a "UFO" case with more
substance than has ever before been realised.

I hope that can be pre-empted.



James.
