hurt. But I think you ought to know a few things just for
your own information. Don't think that I'm instigating
it, I have no political motive for saying these things."
"If you say there's censorship of information on
UFOs, how come so many books have been written on
the matter? Nobody's made any kind of effort to stop
them."
"Because censorship and the silence group work in
totally different ways. When George Adamsky wrote
about his meetings with people from other planets, he
was able to publish his book without any problem, that
is, concerning the mechanics of publication."
"Then how do they work?"
"They don't take the time to investigate, and the
media conditions people to believe that anyone who sees
UFOs are crazy. You get the feeling that the media leads
you to believe what someone wants you to believe. Ask
yourself this question : Is there any reason why UFOs
should not be a well known fact?"
"I guess there's no answer to that one."
"You bet there's no straight answer. Even though
people see these things every single day. Did you know
that, according to a Gallup Poll taken last year, fifteen
million Americans claim to have seen UFOs?"
"No, I didn't know that. The Gallup Poll you say?"
"You heard right. The Gallup Poll taken in 1973. You
respect that, don't you?"
"By now you know that if the things you tell me can be
corroborated, I have no choice other than to accept
them, or at least really consider the possibilities. What
about the random sampling of the population when
these polls were taken?"
"How about people like airline pilots, police officers,
radar experts, astronauts and loads of reliable people
who had the gut feeling that if it wasn't an airplane, a
helicopter, meteor, balloon, then what .... what else
could it be?"
