1 Back in the day (1999), I watched @WhitleyStrieber's "Confirmation" #ufo special on NBC & enjoyed it. Can't remember if I had any issues with it. Not long after, the NYT ran an opinion piece on the special written by Lawrence Krauss. Here it is.

nytimes.com/1999/02/22/opi…
2 It annoyed me, so I wrote 2 Krauss & asked him if he would debate Strieber on Jeff Rense's show. I also wrote Strieber. Krauss agreed but Whitley never got back 2 me, so Rense asked Stanton Friedman 2 do it. Stanton wiped the floor w/Krauss bc he was prepared & Krauss was not.
3 @OmniTalkRadio has a very poor copy of the debate. Years later, at a Project Awareness UFO conference in Pensacola, Florida, I offered to help out the conference organizers by picking up Whitley & his wife Anne at the airport & bringing them to the hotel. While driving, I
4 brought up the debate between Stanton and Krauss.

Whitley: "I wanted to be part of that."

Me: "I wrote you and asked you to do it but you never responded."

Whitley: (silence).

The End

😀
5 Here's the NBC special. Not the best quality but watchable.

1 I love #ufotwitter & I'm glad folks contacted their representatives when NDAA/Gillibrand/Gallego amendment was being debated. One day, when our numbers are large enough, we'll be able 2 have an impact on legislation. To think that it happened this time is a bit delusional, IMO.
2 Back in November on @MaxMoszkowicz's show with Mellon, Lue and Avi...

@LuAngeles asked: Does Mellon think grass roots political efforts (like Big Phone Home) are part of the public awareness of creating awareness of UAP?
3 Mellon: "I think all of that is helpful & I think it's important. I will say that I followed a particular course of action very carefully with Capitol Hill & it was primarily a discussion about national security. It wasn't a discussion about science & it wasn't a

1 We've had the skeptic & debunker tell us they already know what the Bi-Mg sample (Art's Parts) is all about. Then we have LMH & true scientists like Puthoff & Nolan telling us they don't know yet.

@GarryPNolan (GN): "There's another material that's interesting and I have some
2 GN: "pieces of it. It's bismuth, magnesium layered. Clearly, it's industrial and it's layered in a way that is at a few nanometers per layer. Some people claim that it might be a waveguide, a metamaterial waveguide. That's not something, when this was found, that we had the
3 GN: "ability to make. So the open question is: Was it manufactured? Or, as some people have claimed, maybe it's just a byproduct of standard smelting and somebody found it [at] the bottom of a smelting pot. So I don't know. But I've looked at the material, it is layered in

1 #ufo - Obviously, this is not proof of psychokinesis, but here it is:

Hal Puthoff: "It turned out that we had a million-dollar whatever, special magnetometer that was being built, that had been built 2 detect quarks, which are sub-nuclear particles. Anyway, there’s this little
2 Hal: "quantum chip down inside this device, surrounded by electrical shielding, surrounded by magnetic shielding, surrounded by superconductor shielding. No way that anything from the outside could affect that. So I grabbed him (Ingo Swann) by the arm and took him over there
3 Hal: "and said, 'You know, I sort of have, a kind of a high-tech version of what you did in New York with those temperature measurement devices. I’d want you to see if you can affect this.' So, on command, [Ingo] puts signals on there that were absolutely, undoubtably effects

1 Vallee, Strieber and May...

"At present, we estimate that the total archival collection stands at somewhere well north of 100,000 items, and that this is probably much too modest of a figure. We are professionally archiving the material as fast as we can, with significant help
2 "from Ph.D. students and the professional staff of Woodson Research Center. When complete, these Archives of the Impossible will easily constitute one of the largest collections of its kind in the world and almost certainly the largest at an American research university.
3 "We look forward 2 the days when we can welcome researchers & students from around the world into these boxes, folders, & files. The truth may or may not be out there, as one popular American television series had it, but it is almost certainly in here, somewhere"

1 #ufotwitter - KT at her finest.

Lying NHIs & MILABs: Human agencies who (allegedly) abduct & intimidate, experiencers.

Does anybody know where “they” originate?

“There’s a lot of them out there & we know where they come from.”

~Man listening in on KT’s call
w/a experiencer.
2 More from KT…

She’s irreplaceable.

3 In May, @LueElizondo said this to @RichDolan:

Lue: "I will tell you that, in my experience, there were some elements that were interfering with our capabilities to collect and analyze data and information. This kind of goes to the whole, I guess, the speculation of some sort

1 Many believe they saw their dead relatives. That doesn't mean it WAS their dead relatives. So that "clue" isn't clear.

(I know this is an alleged OBE during a #ufo RVing session but I think the point is still valid)

Case in point, Joe McMoneagle (JM)

2 (Training) target was the 1973 Clearwater Missouri UFO sighting near a dam/reservoir. McMoneagle is RVer 001 (the 1st in the program @ Ft. Meade) & one of the best RVers in the world.

JM: "My 1st perception was a light, a big light about the size of a small aircraft carrier.
3 JM: "My 2nd perception was a whole bunch of lights arriving & imploding, not exploding, but imploding. Four of them arrived on a mountain top & then imploded. I was very specific about that. Said I had a sense that they just kind of arrived together & imploded. Very strange.
