Dears friends of the list and Jerry Clark,

I don't know who can say such a lie.

We know Budd Hopkins and I met him here in Brazil in 1997,
during the World Ufology Forum. I spoke with him and to me he
appered very, very serius and worker.

This big lie just show us how some people are jealous.

I can guarantee to you, Hopkins is a very good person and do a
excellent job.

Thanks.
