I've had so much support on this. But UFOs in America, well you know how Americans can be. It's clear that there are many more serious researchers then I first thought, but these people stay away from the carnival aspects and are usually accused of being with the intelligence community. That has already happened to me with the types that live for the Art Bell show. Thanks again for writing and best of luck to you too! Sincerely, Steve Neill
