That idea has been suggested to me, strangely enough, by more than one government intelligence employee.

Buckaroo Banzai is one of my favorite movies. I actually have the soundtrack and the screenplay. The similarities to Back to the Future are probably due to Neil Canton, who produced both films. The 88 mph that the BTTF car needed to time travel was also a reference to Banzai’s initials “BB.”

I don’t tend to invest my opinions about subjects in one book. Diverse sources make me feel better. Insights into human psychology can be found everywhere. How about Shakespeare’s plays? Greek Mythology? The Mahabarata? Timothy Leary’s Neuropolitique? Zen koans? Lots of others.

I’d like to find a copy of the book you mention. I think it’s titled 600 Mulla Nasreddin Tales or Tales of the Mullah Nasrudin. Like esoteric Buddhism, Christianity, or Western occultism, the texts all seem to agree on basic principles. Sufism (esoteric Islam) should be no different.

That’s why I’ve never had a good UFO sighting!

I would think and hope that there is no real correlation with your name.

Pazzaglini once pointed out to me that the Hale-Bopp comet (the alleged cause of the Heaven’s Gate suicides) contained the phrase “Hail Bo-Peep.” “Bo” and “Peep” were aliases used by the cult’s leaders for a time. Perhaps they saw some significance in that coincidence.

It appears that there are multiple definitions of the origin of “weitzel.” Keyhoe appears to be an English name with French roots. Now what significance does “Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais” have, apart from the location on the shore?

I think what Aldrin is advocating is exploration to find out what anomalous things are. He looked to be careful in his statement, significantly not mentioning the Mars “structures.”

I think it’s scandalous that Steven Spielberg stole his idea of the “flux capacitor” from W.D. Richter’s “overthruster”.
