I didn't see the UPN video, but I told John Valez in a private
note what I'm about to share with you now.  Perhaps John will be
so good as to confirm that I mentioned it to him. I'm going into
much more detail here.

This video has been out AND debunked for quite a while.
Sightings or some other paranormal program debunked this video
ages ago.  I even have that episode on tape, and when I get my
VCR working again, I'll give you the copyright date.  Sightings,
or whoever, even interviewed the director/story writer and he
said he was honored that anyone thought this film was real, but
that it was just a student film project.  Shown where production
stills of the little girls getting into alien costums and such.

But the fact is, this video has been out and about for a long
time, at least two years.  And it has been debunked and a known
fake for at least a year and a half.  When I saw the Sightings
(or whatever) show two years ago with this topic, I was under the
impression that Sightings had done the story on the abduction
video as if it were real over a year before.

Now, I think the interesting question becomes, "are any of the
same producers behind Sightings involved in this production?"
That is a far more interesting question than "is it real, is it
fake, and who was fooled?"

On a related subject... If UFO research is ever to enter a
realistic, respected, and honored role in the media, then it must
act like it deserves it. I commend John Valez for his actions in
refusing to participate. I am shocked that Stan Friedman
participated in a project without seeing even a tiny peice of the
film in question.  As a television producer, I am shocked at the
tricks used to bring legitamacy to this program...

Shame on UPN
Shame on the producers
And double shame on the UFO community for accepting this crap.
