Thanks for finding and posting this Stig.

And thanks to Jim Moseley, Dennis Stacy and all the speakers and
attendees at this happy 36th NUFOConf. I had a blast mingling
with so many diverse perspectives.

I really enjoyed Patrick Huyghe's Field Guide approach to
ExtraTerrestrials speech - the best of any I heard. When the
bulk of speakers can give us an adequate hypothesis to account
for this diversity of UFO occupant forms I think we will finally
have something to really celebrate.

Below are a couple observations relating to Strieber's speech:


<snip>

 >The French Connection

 >"The French have what they consider incontrovertible evidence of
 >something unknown in the atmosphere flying around," he told his
 >San Antonio audience. "There's no question the United States
 >keeps something secret about this. I think it's the biggest
 >secret they're keeping, and it's something wrong."

One of the 'pseudo bombshells' from Whit was...

...that because of the recent French COMETA UFO report
(mentioned previously on this List) there may be an official
request from France to the USofA as to the reason for all the
UFO secrecy. I don't recall if he said this would be done via
the UN or not.

<snip>

 >Hall of mirrors

Another of the important things he mentioned was his book
Majestic in its fictional attempts at understanding the Roswell
incident. He says that he spoke to his family members who had
been in the military back then and they all said it was
understood that it really _was_ a disc. His reference to this
book was fleeting and seemed casual and honest... that he felt
it was a decent probable understanding of the event.

Also he spoke of the nature of the government "cover up and
conspiracy" saying that the need to know basis of so much in the
Security/Intelligence industry that related to UFOs had led to a
fracturing of any real knowledge of the totality of the
situation. He suggests that the need to know condition would
eleminate most of the _real_ knowledge being accessible even to
high level individuals and groups. Couple this with the
probability that what each person _knows_ is in fact a little
misinfo and you have a sort of patch work of knowledge among
members of the multiple conspiracies. This is something I have
thought all along but which takes time to sink in... the idea that
there may be entire factions of UFO groups within different
departments and agencies, each with a different UFO agenda,
which have no real idea of what's going on. Whit went so far as
to suggest that this may have become _so_ bad that there may be
no one who really knows what the heck is going on. That the
different agencies who have dealt with this over the years are
as spotty in their assesment of what is going on as ufology and
the public are.

 >To sum up his opinion on the aliens' motivations for toying with
 >humans in increasingly intimate ways, Strieber said the UFO
 >entities were most likely trying to preserve the novelty of an
 >encounter with another intelligent race -- humanity -- as long
 >as possible.

In this part he sounded like Terence McKenna (as did Joe
Firmage) going on about novelty theory - without the mushroom
references of course. Strieber was citing an article from
SCIENCE magazine of May 1977 I believe.
