I don't know. That doesn't sound like the ufological modus operandi to me. ;-) Paul Greg:

This is the sort of thing we are talking about when we talk about "new" ufology. UFO sightings/ encounters are one of the most subjective things we can experience, and the phenomenon speaks to us individually on many levels. Taken a step further, this is just what Strieber is saying. I bought a copy of that Keel book at Roswell and will begin reading it within a few days. Review to follow. Drew,

I'm working on it intermittently at the moment, as I'm in the middle of post-production on another film. Best regards, Paul DVDs, with lots of bonus materials, should be ready by the late summer / early fall. I’m working on it intermittently at the moment, as I’m in the middle of post-production on another film.

So I googled Keel and found that Loren Coleman excerpts Jerome Clark's noting of Keel downplaying the two main factors noted in this review: radar and multiple, independent witnesses. I like Keel's "ultraterrestrial" take even if Coleman disagrees with Keel's morphing of a large bird into a demonic force aka "mothman." Keel notes how SciFi writing and even a comic book gave details on how to build a nuclear bomb -- before the Manhattan project was even finished! Yet this supposed "secret" knowledge spurred the Black-Listing of many a supposed Commie Spy (the latest declassified records states that there were 300 Commie Spies in the U.S. but none of them were on McCarthy's list which was made up after such spying was in its peak). Keel does seem to capture or even embody this cutting edge of science which really is ultraterrestrial. I urge readers to check out the Best of John Keel because the book has a certain subjectivity that seems to transcend the attempt to study anything. It enters the realm of peaceful ultraterrestrial observation. Greg: I’m just finishing up the new “Best of John Keel” book which I’ve really enjoyed.

Coming from a friend (like Nick and Mac as well) who I know would tell me if it wasn't a good film, and whose general opinion I respect even when I don't agree with it, it means a lot. :-) Paul Greg:
