Well, lookee there, oddlyfamiliar is also known as Bill Knell, and if you want the lowdown on this guy, just listen to the December 8th, 2008 episode of The Paracast. With the help of our friend, well-known UFO researcher Frank Warren, we out Knell and all of his shady dealings and misrepresentations. I would strongly suggest that you contact MUFON, Greg, and alert them to his activities. As I’ve said, anyone who would like to educate themselves about Knell should definitely listen to that Paracast episode, it’s one of our best.

oddly,

I notice that while you have many problems with Moore, you appear to have no problem with selling DVDs of his lectures.

I also noticed on your website that you have repackaged a video I taped, edited, and produced in 1988 called “UFOs: The Turning Point” without notifying me. This material is copyrighted and I would ask that you take this item out of your catalog immediately, as well as forwarding all profits you have made on it so far.

I also wonder if you have received permission from MUFON or Moore, or anyone else you include on the DVD to use video from the 1989 conference. MUFON is a non-profit organization, and you would be making money from their hard work.

If you are willing to steal material for your own profit without consulting the owners, I have less faith in your abilities to debunk certain stories, or truthfulness in reporting, particularly as some of your witnesses (such as Al Bielek) have been thoroughly discredited.

I wrote an article for my newsletter entitled Moore is Less in the late 1980s. It was an attack on Bill Moore’s literary and research skills, especially when it came to The Roswell Incident. I pointed out the fact that a reliable source I knew (and person close to Stan Friedman) said that Moore wrote the entire book using Friedman’s work without ever actually visiting Roswell, NM. Moore read and responded to my article. He hated the tone, but did not dispute my claim that he hadn’t visited Roswell until after the book was completed. His research work and book on The Philadelphia Experiment (which I have thoroughly researched) was equally bad. He also admitted to passing disinformation to people in the UFO research community. He did this at the MUFON Symposium in Las Vegas (might have been in 1989, if I recall) and that confession remains on video (from The UFO Underground: Rebel Researchers DVD available on Amazon).

Heads-up — the amazing slasher film UNHOLY (2006) is based loosely on the Philadelphia Experiment (or Nazi-CIA mind control for time travel invisilibity). The plot is so intense and complex that your I.Q. will shoot up (paradoxically) as slasher humor.

RPJ,

This is exactly what I was suggesting with the post, without being blatant about it. I figure ufomystic readers to be an observant lot!

I don’t believe that Moore was paid for any of his work. He would probably have had a better office and car, etc. if that was the case. At least he didn’t when I first met him in 1987, and it got worse from that point on!

Of course, we would also have to determine what exactly do we mean when we call him a CIA ‘agent’.

Would that mean he was on the CIA payroll? That he actually owned a parking space at Langley??

Or that he might have done some errands for them from time to time.

Anyway, I don’t think that 2 years is too brief a time lapse to go from High-school teacher to professional writer.
