Subject: I am not Travis Walton's 'Ghost'


Hi, everybody,

	In the current issue of his Skeptics UFO Newsletter
Philip J. Klass claims "it is rumored" that I ghostwrote Travis
Walton's first book, The Walton Experience (1978).  He further
alleges that he has "evidence" that I ghostwrote much of
Walton's more recent Fire in the Sky  (1996).

	For what it's worth, if anyone cares, I ghostwrote
not a word of either book.  I did supply Walton, at his request,
with copies of a few pieces I'd written on Klass and CSICOP
for the second book, and Walton indicates as much in his
coverage of debunking treatments of his story.  Walton is
bright and gifted enough to write his own book, and I have
no reason to believe he did not do so.

	I find Klass' allegations not only puzzling but
just plain odd.
