Also, he has virtually written off sharing those precious files so I, a certified MUFON investigator, can help him with the legwork. So when it came to my attention he had been on Sightings on the radio I listened to the archived file and there he was talking aboput his backlog of reports and here am I. I wanted to help him get up an OHIO MUFON website. He says he can't learn the computer. Maybe he just doesn't trust or like me. But he talks a good game but he don`t walk the walk. Frankly I see him as a debunker disguised as a UFO investigator. He has a military background and he was chosen by J. Allen Hynek who was a lackey for the fed. so its guilt by association. But as a person I like the man. He has a sterling reputation in our area for honesty. There were dozens of sightings around here during winter 94-95 and me, my wife, the postmistress and numerous others reported LITS and triangles and saucers and military jets chasing LITS, and black unmarked helicopters. We had an undeniable flap. It was not properly investigated. It was cast aside. Also, MUFON`s Walt Andrus signed for three of my best photos of the unknowns and has not returned them. I have asked him for them on the phone several times . His reply is that he cannot find them. I have asked Mr Timmerman for them and he has been unsuccessful as well. I have heard MUFON called "the black hole of UFO photos". It seems to be true. http://www.geocities.com/soho/5782 See my website dedicated to the pictures of unknown LITS photos that I took during Winter 94-95. I am no scientist. I am a working man with 26 years at the same place. A family man with a wife and grown kids. And I have a strange story to tell. I know its strange but when I finally, after seeing these things all my life at intervals, get pics of them it s a little bit dissappointing to see it ignored. I knew you wouldn`t like my article and I wrote it to light a fire under your ass. I want my pictures back!

John Timmerman, although he works with MUFON as a State Section Director, and also in his capacity as executive treasurer of CUFOS, he otherwise has little to do with MUFON, considering the size of the membership. We think it is necessary for you to make a correction to the story, in that it gives the impression that MUFON is not doing its job, and we are already getting inquires about the story and the situation. MUFON does not tend to become so back logged because of its pyrimad stucture and our large number of investigators under that structure. John Timmerman is only responsible to MUFON for his small section of Ohio. The fact that he has collected a lot of cases in his travels is interesting but not unusual. Like John we all hear about cases, especially when we are on the road, and we do not always get back to them when we return to our work-a- day lives. I feel I can safely say that John has acted on the strong cases that have been brought to his attention. MUFON Staff, for the Director _____________________________ Steven J.
