Back To Business
OK. I’m back.
Working on Paul Kimball’s film Eternal Kiss really took it out of me, and I was seemingly inoculated against any sort of UFO writing for over a month. I didn’t even think about the subject very much, instead reading books like Graham Hancock’s Supernatural (kindly sent along by Richelle Hawks) and Erna Fergusson’s Our Southwest, a portrait of that area of the US, published in 1940.
A week after I arrived home, I was married to my girlfriend of four years, and we immediately went off on a honeymoon in Arizona. While driving to Tombstone, my new wife Sigrid spotted an object high in the sky. She said it was stationary, and resembled an airplane, but was too far away to make a positive ID. I couldn’t see it since I had to keep my eyes on the road, but I thought it might be a UAV test from nearby Fort Huachuca, where many craft of that type are flown. No idea why I didn’t stop the car and take a picture, but with my cheap camera, nothing of note would ever show up. Why add another blurry, pixelated image to the endless parade?
In Shockingly Close To The Truth, Jim Moseley wrote that over the years, he had seen UFO fans come and go, but that many would swear off the subject, only to come back to it months or years later. Although I don’t plan to go away, the break was refreshing, and I have to thank Nick for holding down the fort while I took a breather.
Of course, I haven’t been totally idle. The October issue of Coast to Coast’s After Dark magazine features an article I wrote on California hauntings and curses, and I was interviewed by Howard Riell for his show Riell Truth, which has somehow disappeared into the ether. Radio Misterioso ended its hiatus last night with my sometime co-host Walter Bosley and I talking to a couple of callers and answering email questions. There is now a website for the show, and I will be adding archived programs in the next few weeks.
Bob and Ryan Wood’s “Access Ufology Firepower” conference (formerly the Crash Retrieval Conference) will take place on November 7th and 8th in Las Vegas. I plan to attend, although I’m not speaking. Perhaps I’ll see some of you there.

Welcome back, Greg. Congrats and good luck in your marriage. Just thought I’d pass on to you that Discovery Channel is going to run a show on Nazi UFO’s. Curious to see if Jospeh Farrel was invited on the show.

Welcome back, Greg ol’ boy! How’s that marriage gig coming along?
I finished reading ‘Project Beta’, and it really is a superb book. I’ve been dying to ask you a question about something Bennewitz mentions on his report that you printed by the end of the book: In it, Bennewitz claimed he was developing a weapon that would ‘discharge’ the disks and also affect the implants of ‘the Alien’; he claimed he had two small working prototypes and a pending patent register. Since you don’t mention this yourself on the rest of text, but made perfectly clear Bennewitz was nothing short of an electrical genius, what are your thoughts on that “weapon story”? Did Bennewitz actually created some machine that —according to him—could work as a weapon to stop the Alien Invasion?

Sounds like some cloud-busting going on!

I was starting to wonder-good to have
you back, and congratulations on the
wedding!

Crg,
Thanks!
I thought that the History Channel was the Hitler Channel. Maybe Discovery is wising up, even though they will probably conclude that there is nothing to the stories at all.

RPJ,
The wedded thing is working splendidly, thank you.
I didn’t mention the “weapons” because there was no one who had any firsthand knowledge of them to talk to me, even though that shouldn’t have made much difference. Apparently they were developed with a man who worked for him, who as I remember had a Chinese surname. As Drew says, it sounds almost like Reich’s claims about cloudbusters and their ability to shoot down UFOs.
In a lecture from a few years ago, Peter Robbins showed photos of something he found abandoned on the flightline at the Bentwaters AFB in England which looked like an industrial-strength cloudbuster, so who knows??

It took me a while to find it but it’s on the Discovery Channel on Sunday Nov 9,2008 8pm on ET/PT

Greg I was referring to your wedding but sometimes I get lucky.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Congratulations Greg!

Regan,
Thanks! In this case it IS actually “all good.”

Gerry,
Traditionally, people have a year to offer congrats, I think.
Thank you!
