Would it be possible for you to run this anonymously, deleting my header and identifying information? I'd like the information to be posted, but do not want my name/address attached. Thanks very much _______________________ To UFO Updates: I am one of the abductees whose file was sold by John Carpenter to Robert Bigelow approximately 4 years ago. I am also one of the original litigants on the legal proceedings versus Carpenter regarding his sale of the files. There has been quite a bit of conjecture here on UFO UpDates regarding whether or not Carpenter sold unexpurgated files to Bigelow, or whether the files were sold with names, addresses, and identifying information deleted. I would like to throw in just a bit of information for everyone to ponder. At the time of our then-pending lawsuit, our legal counsel contacted Bigelow, requesting that he return all the files he had purchased from Carpenter. Bigelow's response (via his attorneys) was that he would return -only- the files of the persons filing suit upon receiving a list of our names and a form signed by each of us releasing him from any culpability in the transaction. If the identifying information and names were not intact on the files Bigelow purchased, just how would he be able to send _only_ ours back? My file consisted of written documents, drawings, and oral tape recordings. The information contained in the documentation included names, addresses, and identifying information of not just me, but my spouse, family members, friends, and co-workers. Multiply that by 140 persons, each with files containing similar information -- information that could be detrimental, at the very least, to their livelihood. I went to Carpenter for assistance because he carried the initials of a medical professional. Because of his profession, and because of his expressed confirmation to me, it was my understanding that the information I divulged to him was privileged, and fell under the protection of the therapist/client relationship. Evidently, that relationship has no guarantees or assurances. Sincerely, One of the 140
