I read about the UFO Report and it concerns me enough that I must express my concern based on what I know.
 
First, the "model" for the UFO thing is that of "grays' and abductions. This model was created by the Betty and Barney Hill story. Two things here.
1 In the lat 1970's Alan Hendries in THE UF0 INVESTIGATOR'S HANDBOOK reports that in an interview with Betty Hill.that he did, she repeatedly pointed to the empty sky saying that there ere UFO's flying there
2. in 1992 or 3 on his talk show on WSAR 1480 AM, John Greenwood, show host and news reporter said that he did an interview with Betty Hell and she kept pointing to "UFO";s in a sky that was empty
 
It is apparent, from two separate sources, that she is psychotic and spreading falsehoods. Since that has become the "model" for the UFO movement today, anong with some really nutbag stuff, like astral projection and "paranormal" and much of what was founded by Helena Blavatski, who's material on the Aryans was incorporated into the beilefs of  Erst Roem and the Nazis, it were better that it not be spread
 
On the Solar Guard BBS our own "Cosmic Kev" reported that he saw a taped interview in which two members of the original Adamski party said that they cooked the whole thing up based on seeing THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
 
Flying saucer group studues are classic works of mass hysteria and cult behavior in Socioligy and Abnormal/Clinical Psychology
 
The whole thing issuspect enough for me to advise persons to stay many many light years away from it. The deleterious effect it has on one's credibioity leads me to say "don't touch that tar baby"
 
Failing that let me recommend two things. Before you post anything
1. Consolt with Rory Coker
2. make use of my anti-urban legens board
 
 
Getting involved with this kind of thing can do a real job on one's credibility and there are times that one's credibility is all one has
 
 

I stand by my original statement (see Editorial dated 4-20-08).  While it does not strike me as impossible that advanced life forms from other solar systems are visiting us, none of what I post in UFO Report should be taken at face value.  Skepticism is always warranted with this kind of thing. (One of the videos I posted this week is clearly a phony but I posted it anyway because, well, it looks cool.)  Debunking individual cases like Barney and Betty Hill's or Adamsky's does not invalidate all the sighting ever made, many of which have been reported by airline pilots, some of which have been reported by multiple simultaneous witnesses spread over a wide area.  I myself, on two separate occasions, have seen things in the sky I could not explain.  I hesitate to call them UFO's because the term has, in and of itself, come to mean "flying saucer."  I opt for the term "OFO's," for Odd Flying Objects.  One last thing:  I was twelve years old when I got Adamsky's book.  I knew immediately he was a fraud.  -- Bruce David/Swapsale

Good Morning Bruce,

Just got in from Chicago and had this very nice Commander Corry shirt in my in-box.

Hey buddy, it’s great and I really appreciate it.  Hats off to your boy who’s not in the T-shirt business.  This is very cool.

And listen, if it took 20 shots to get just the right “picture” - that’s okay.  It’s the business right?!!!  Actually, you look very “commanding” decked out in shirt and belt!

I think this will be a very popular item for you.

Thanks again my friend,

WHERE WERE YOU IN '67?

For one thing, working 70 hours a week for very little pay and hating every minute of it but that's what happens when some family member thinks they can run a business but don't know jack.

 
But I was also starting an interest that would be another lifelong passion. Now must persons think of me as being the other dude who's "stuck in the '50's" or the major Ayn Randian. While both are true. I have another major interest.
 
 
Give it a go if you dig the Classic and Progressive Rock sounds of the Moog, Farfisa, ARP and thoe 12-string guitar

Bruce, that new *silk screened* Space Patrol shirt is one of the nicest products made. I REALLY like the way it's designed! This is a definite five star item!

 
Thanks so much!!!

Thanks so much for bringing this one [the Space Patrol shirt] back into the Galaxy! It fills a huge gap in Space Patrol gear, which we've all missed. Remember the guy who says in the Space Patrol book that he wore his “long-sleeved Commander Corry T-shirt” until it fell apart? Hey, now he can get a re-issue. And it looks so cool on the hanger, too, like it's a uniform. Oops, I got carried away... Anyway, you're the best. Thanks!

Bruce,

 
Thanks for this page.  I haven't clicked them all yet, but spent some time last night with the Moonglows who were my favorite doowop group.  I loved the lead singer's voice, and their songs stand out in my mind.  The one big exception to this was the Penguins fabulous Earth Angel --of which I have a distinct memory of being in your house on West Main Street listening to.

This is so great having a single place to go to to listen to this stuff. 

I have tremendous memories of Alan Freed's shows at the NY and Brooklyn Paramounts.  One in particular of Bo Diddley starting I'm a Man off-stage left then playing himself to center stage in his red and black plaid sportcoat and black pants.  Audience went wild, standing on seats, jumping to the beat --I thought the balcony might come down.

I remember listening to many of these things with you after school when you lived on one of the streets off Myrtle Ave. (can't remember the name).

Thanks again for setting this up.

Thank goodness there's no fire at my place
this year! My place has already been on the
news twice for devastating fires, in the past
5 years. One of them scorched about 28 acres,
and was held at bay on the ridge directly over my house
(we were evacuated). The other started just 4 lots
down the street from my house (fortunately the wind
blew the flames away from my home).

It seems Southern California is getting
hit by fire storms every couple years, now.
With Santa Anna winds, El Nino rains, & killers bees.
It's starting to feel like we are living
in biblical times or something.

Hi Bruce:
 
Like yourself we were evacuated last Monday morning from our home and came back to find it was miraculously saved by the firefighters (the fire burned right up to our back yard).   Most of our neighbors a couple blocks away were not so fortunate.
 
Very happy to read you and your family are OK.
 
Sincerely,
Sal LaManna
