New Book - No Disclosure Coming?

[Skeptical]

Here is a link to a new article by Bruce Maccabee reviewing a book by a former associate of his - the uptake of which is that the US government is NOT actively investigating UFOs:

FYI, Maccabee doesn't buy the conclusion but seems to respect the work the author put in doing his research.

Off topic Skep sorry, but Maccabee related after looking through his site. Just felt a need to put forward an opinion of this person....

How can I take what an individual like this says, or any research from a so called <serious UFO researcher> like Maccabee, seriously!?!?

quote Maccabee regarding this case:

This video has some odd characteristics which appear to be "fingerprints of a hoax"

No sh!t Sherlock, really!?!? Why so many seem to miss the bleeding obvious baffles me!?! I remember this footage when it first 'hit the scene' so to speak, & knew it can only be fake simply because no one else see it!! Why take time & effort studying the footage it's self when the bleeding obvious answer is staring them in the face!?! Personally I think this enigma needs a major defrag to remove 50-60 years of crap that subconsciously still has an influence on many peoples approach when looking at things like this! Just my opinion for what it's worth....

Peace.

I lost a lot of faith in Bruce when he went off into the weeds over the Gulf Breeze case. He has done some good work over his ufological career, however (I thought his McMinnville analysis was very thorough).

Still, I think some of these old-school researchers have a hard time getting their heads around the idea that the government really doesn't know any more about UFOs than we do. Seems those of us who came of age post-Watergate find it easier to accept that our leaders are not as knowledgeable and powerful as they seem.

Just as soon as Borders opens Im calling for this book,this is a worthwhile read and I cant help but think that something of importance has been left out.I wonder why with what Maccabee has said that the FAA isnt included,all the ufo sightings that pilots report are sent to the FAA,they must have a slew of them.Once I get this book if anyone wants to read it just drop me a pm and Ill send it to you just as soon as I get thru reading it meself.Great article Skep.

Seriously; how kind & thoughtful Carol... If ET does make contact one day I hope the first human they meet is someone like you, & not a Saudi male> especially if the ET representative is female!

peace.

I don't buy it either. Any government group in charge of UFO policy would be ultra-secret. Of course it's not the air force or CIA etc, but some much more undercover, group specializing in ufos.

hey thanks dej,um I think. Starman what about the FAA,how much do we know about it? I know that the pilots who bother to report a sighting have to handwrite a report its handed in to their direct superior and sent to the FAA,the pilots themselves have said that they never hear a thing back from them.So what about its not being the government which has different presdients all the time but the FAA of which we know very little?

[Carol Nistri]

I found this line most exciting,its an admission on their part.

"This book could also rock your world if you are a nonbeliever because Dr. Alexander has cited some strong evidence that “UFOs are real.” He also provides reality checks on some commonly held beliefs related to UFOs, reverse engineering of alien technology, human-alien interactions, what has been done by the governments of other countries, animal mutilations, agriglyphs (“crop circles”) and military abductions. Anyone seriously interested in studying the UFO phenomenon should read this book." Cool.

hmm,I just talked to Borders and this book isnt in stock,its a special order.I wonder if Amazon has it.

Ok I just went to Amazon and instead of $25.00 its $14. and change,quite a difference but it wont be released until the 15th of this month.I think this one might be worthwhile.
