This is my first time on your website the only reason I figured out about it is because I am a student that goes to the peak program and we are doing an independent study. My topic is on UFOs. This is a great website for anyone interested in UFOs.
Thanks for your comments. Feel free to grab any material from site for your study. I pride myself as running a research group that investigates the UFO enigma. UFOs are still a mystery.
Pretty impressive website. I especially appreciate your scientific method. I always have.
Hi Bill. Thanks for your kind words.
You gave a sterling report on 2 pictures I sent to you. Your report was as accurate and concise as could be done by anyone and very fast too, very unlike many. My regret is having sent only 2 pictures. The ones I did not send would have made a more complete bank of information upon which to give a larger, not necessarily different opinion. I recognize and respect your commentary and willing responses at that time. My question sir, is: Would you be willing to look at a disk and give me your candid and professional, private, opinion. I have done much research on this vertically unknown phenomenon. Thank you so much, if yes is your response and thank you anyway for past responses.
Larry:
Yes, I would like to see your disk photo. Please send.
I have been following your work since I was in Aberdeen, WA. I came to your meeting in Ocean Shores. I have had several sightings as well at the Hanford plant in 1952. I now live in Montana.It has been cloudy so I can’t do any sight seeing lately. I JUST KEEP TELLING YOU WHAT I SEE. I HAVE A GOOD CAMERA FOR PICTURES. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WHEN I MET YOU. I HAVE HAD SIGHTINGS FOR YEARS. WHAT I TELL YOU IS ALL TRUE. I CAN GO BACK TO 1952. THANKS
