However, I am the moderator of the Fidonet UFO conference, and have been involved with UFO group discussions for more than 40 years, either from a "fun" standpoint, or as an overseer of discussion groups. >As far as Ruppelt's accuracy - almost 40 years of FOIA releases >have backed up what he described back in '56. Some of the the >material he discusses has still to be released. >If you are looking to newspapers for accuracy consider this, he >describes how and why newspaper reporters were fed information >and managed, that was part of his job. The discussion of their >exclusion from the control tower at Washington National Airport >is of note.

That's nice to know. If you are really interested in the extent of my UFO interests, drop a note of inquiry to Stanton Friedman. He may be able to attest to the seriousness of my interests. >Gary Regards, Jack
