|
(Drax) and please try to keep lines less than 72 characters...
|
||
|
(Drax) makes it easier for us to read....
|
||
|

|
||
|
(Drax) Hollywood. He is currently working on several projects,...
|
||
|
(Drax) including the upcoming October 14th documentary,...
|
||
|
(Drax) "UFO COVER UP: What Does the Government Know"...
|
||
|
(Drax) <at least that's the title I was told, Tracy>....
|
||
|
(Drax) he has also just completed the script for the motion picture...
|
||
|
(Drax) "Fire in the Sky" about the famous Travis Walton abduction....
|
||
|
(Drax) among other things contemplated for the documentary,...
|
||
|
(Drax) Tracy has done extensive research and interviews on the Gulf
|
||
|
Breeze affair.
|
||
|
(Drax) He wants it to be known that...
|
||
|
(Drax) contractually he can't discuss the actual TV...
|
||
|
(Drax) segments in detail, and may not be able to answer all your....
|
||
|
(Drax) questions regarding the show, and apologizes for it, but...
|
||
|

|
||
|
(Drax) opening comments? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Just a moment...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thanks, Jim. It's UFO Coverup? Live!, by the way.
|
||
|
(Drax) <starting queue, hold for Tracy>
|
||
|
(Drax) OK. When finished, please use "GA" by the way. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Don?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) Alright....
|
||
|
(DON) Tracy, on Paranet Alpha, and here on CIS...
|
||
|
(DON) Jim Speiser has placed several uploads concerning you...
|
||
|
(DON) and has stated that you are approx. 99 percent..
|
||
|
(DON) sure that GB is legit......
|
||
|
(DON) He said you stated that you are holding...
|
||
|
(DON) out one percent on the off chance of a hoax, however...
|
||
|
(DON) you feel sure that it is on the up and up. ...........
|
||
|
(DON) OK, why? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) First let me say that I started out as a complete skeptic
|
||
|
on the case...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I have come around, little by little to the conclusion
|
||
|
that it _is_...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) almost certainly real. I base this on a number of things,
|
||
|
including...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) my respect for Hopkins and Maccabee, the number of excellent
|
||
|
first-hand ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) witnesses, the lie-detector and PSE results, and my personal
|
||
|
feelings...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) regarding the integrity of Ed and his family GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Bert, GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) ok...
|
||
|
(Bert) Tracy, I know you just spent some time in GB just recently...
|
||
|
(Bert) Can you tell us if there has been any activity at all...
|
||
|
(Bert) since Ed's May sighting-abduction....
|
||
|
(Bert) Also can you report anything about the regressions that are...
|
||
|
(Bert) going on. Is it true that all the regressions are being video taped? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) OK Bert -- Very little activity since 5/1/88...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) There are some abduction elements involved with nearly a
|
||
|
dozen witnesses...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) but most of this is being explored now and the results aren't
|
||
|
in yet. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, gang, please keep your questions brief, and...
|
||
|
(Drax) Kevin, or Tracy, whoever is typing,...
|
||
|
(Drax) please press ENTER at about 60-70 characters. Jim, GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) In Phil Klass's recent book he says that Dr. Howard...
|
||
|
(Jim) Kandell was provided a urine specimen that Travis's...
|
||
|
(Jim) brother Duane said was the first voided by Travis...
|
||
|
(Jim) upon his return. ...
|
||
|
(Jim) The analysis of the specimen showed no trace of...
|
||
|
(Jim) acetone, which the Dr. found perplexing since...
|
||
|
(Jim) Travis claimed he had lost 10 pounds during his...
|
||
|
(Jim) 5-day absence. Lack of food for the period claimed...
|
||
|
(Jim) should have resulted in acetone in his urine. ...
|
||
|
(Jim) Can you comment on this contradiction in the...
|
||
|
(Jim) physical evidence?...GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) My understanding is that there _were_ acetone traces...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) in his blood but I'm not sure of all details on that aspect...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I don't think Kandell became involved until a little...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) later in the sequence of events. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) Duane said he had taken the s[ecimen almost immediately
|
||
|
(Jim) after travis's return.. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Any response, Tracye?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Don't believe this to be the case. I'll find out for you. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) OK thanks..
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Tracy, I'm sure you know there are a lot of rumors and bad press...
|
||
|
(Drax) going around the country about the GB case. There are also a...
|
||
|
(Drax) couple of people speaking out on the case with less than...
|
||
|
(Drax) verifiable facts. Do you have any comments on stories such as...
|
||
|
(Drax) the one about the Devil photo, which was rumored to be a...
|
||
|
(Drax) double exposure hoax by Ed? Or his "prison term"? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) There was no devil photo. This is typical of the ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) misinformation going around. Photo in question was ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) taken at Halloween party and had nothing to do with double-...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) exposure. Don't wish to comment on other question except...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) to say that it too has been presented in misleading fashion. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Steve, have at it. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Steve G) First, Tracy, a belated WELCOME to CI$ . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) Next, I was wondering, are you not in a similar position . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) as Whitley Strieber, bein a Science Fiction writer? . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) I do not mean to question your credentials, . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) just remind everyone (including me) that you are . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) Fairly famous in the Science Fiction area. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Tracy
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thanks for the welcome, Steve. I'm currently a writer/producer ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) soon to be director (hopefully). Sci-fi is something i...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) enjoy and have recently been working in...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) However, I don't consider myself a sci-fi writer per se. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Steve G) May I?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Please do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Steve G) To clarify my question, then . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) Do you consider yourself more of a Science Fiction . . .
|
||
|
(Steve G) Writer/Producer, or UFOlogist? Just want to be sure of the answer GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Am somewhat uncomfortable with either term...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) i consider myself a film-maker who's been ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) lucky enough to utilize some of my personal ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) passions in my work. Hope that answers your question. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Steve G) Thank you and goodnight! GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) It should be said that Tracy has been researching UFOs for longer...
|
||
|
(Drax) than he has been writing sci-fi professionally (I think). Before...
|
||
|
(Drax) this he was <dare I say it?> a comedy writer! <Grin> Dale? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Dale) Thanks Draxter.....
|
||
|
(Dale) Speed typing lessons after the Co.....
|
||
|
(Dale) As a side note, on Saturday night at the Cleveland NUFOC
|
||
|
(Dale) Conference, Dr. Willy Smith of CUFOS, MUFON, and UFO UNICAT
|
||
|
(Dale) fame was very critical of the GB case. He went over the videos,
|
||
|
(Dale) photos, and was critical of Maccabbee and Andrus. It will
|
||
|
(Dale) be interesting to see where this goes. I taped it aand will
|
||
|
(Dale) get it on line. Lastly, have you spent time with Walton, and
|
||
|
(Dale) what are your feelings on the case and the man?ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I've been to Snowflake four times and have spent ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) alot of time with almost all concerned...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) i have a great affinity for Travis and ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) needless to say I support his contentions...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Think this case was terribly botched by ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Ufologists. I believe W. Smith is to GB what
|
||
|
|
||
|
(John LEar) Great, whats going on
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Spaulding was to Walton case...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, remember, formal rules in effect....
|
||
|
(Drax) thanks Tracy, next is Rick, then Marge. GA Rick.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Rick) Tracy, even more facinating than the actual phenomena is this...
|
||
|
(Rick) government coverup. Under what conditions do you think the ...
|
||
|
(Rick) might rethink their position on this and ...
|
||
|
(Rick) start releasing some of the amassed data they have...
|
||
|
(Rick) in their possession. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Tracy
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Unfortunately Rick, I wouldn't hold your breath. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Rick) OK thanks and I won't!ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Marge, GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) Tracy, Jim S. says that a great deal of info in support of GB is not ...
|
||
|
(mjc) being made public. Why not- in light of all the disagreement by
|
||
|
(mjc) UFOlogists? Also, is Don Ware appearing on the 14th documentary?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Yes Marge, I believe he is. Much info withheld due...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) to privacy constraints as well as fear of ridicule. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Bert, GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) ok...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) What is the role of former astronaut Brian O Leary in the GB casse?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) Tracy, I understand that NBC has moved up their air time of their....
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) He was on the Late Show Fri night with GB photos. ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) Unsolved Mysteries show to Oct. 5 from a December date.....
|
||
|
(Bert) Do you think the reason for this is to get the jump on ....
|
||
|
(Bert) your documentary? Also, I understand you are one of 3 producers...
|
||
|
(Bert) doing the Oct 14 show. Was there much argument between the 3 of you....
|
||
|
|
||
|
(John LEar) I dont want to interupt . Is this ok?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) regarding how to pitch the tone? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Answer Berts first, then Marges.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Think I got two questions at once...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Marge -- Think O'Leary is interesting guy but don't know...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) anything about GB involvement...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Bert -- Yes, I do think that's why they jumped...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) ahead several months. Also "pitch the tone"? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Yeah, "pitch the tone"?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) any particular slant?ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) We disagree most of the time. <grin> GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Gerry, GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Gerry) ok...
|
||
|
(Gerry) Tracy, there are now 3 films (I belive) in the making
|
||
|
(Gerry) and 2 tv documentaries coming up in October. Are we finally
|
||
|
(Gerry) entering a period of greater media coverage of UFOs, and if
|
||
|
(Gerry) we are, don't you think enough of this would elicit some sort
|
||
|
(Gerry) of change of our government's official position of silence? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) <showoff> GA Tracy
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) You type almost as fast as me!...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Hope we'll see more quality UFO stuff but I ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) think the public's interest comes and goes...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Think "the conspiritors" realize this GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK...
|
||
|
(Drax) Next is John Lear. GA John
|
||
|
|
||
|
(John LEar) Thnks and Hi Trcy. Is the important role of the cattle mutilations
|
||
|
going
|
||
|
(John LEar) to be addressed having people like Lou Girodo and Tex graves tell
|
||
|
their
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) John got knocked offline
|
||
|
|
||
|
(MIB) we got him!!
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) standby...
|
||
|
(Drax) he says..."tell their case....also about Grudge 13, I just met...
|
||
|
(Drax) with Bill English and he is willing to come forward at this time."...
|
||
|
(Drax) Any comment, Tracy?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Got worried there for a moment...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thought John had been eaten by the aliens ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) and lizard men that live in a secret underground...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) base beneath his house...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Aliens) John gives us gas!!!
|
||
|
|
||
|
(MIB) Watch it Tracy, YOUR NEXT
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) We _will_ be mutilating cattle live on the air...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) and serving them as steaks for the tv critics GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Mike) speaking of bases...
|
||
|
(Mike) do you have an opinion...
|
||
|
(Mike) on the reality of the ...
|
||
|
(Mike) UFO Base in N.Mex...
|
||
|
(Mike) as reported by Bennewitz?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I've been to Dulce and met with P.B....
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) in his New Mexico office. Strange man, strange ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) place. Think something is definitely going on
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) in northern New Mexico, but think elaborate stories
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) of underground bases are probably untrue and certainly ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) fall neatly into the hands of the forces of disinformation
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Don of ParaNet Rho, your up. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) OK...
|
||
|
(DON) Tracy, you eariler mentioned that the public interest
|
||
|
(DON) comes and goes. Dont you think this may be
|
||
|
(DON) because of the irresponsible manner in which the "Media"
|
||
|
(DON) treats the subject? Any "soft" story such as a
|
||
|
(DON) town in Wisc. building a UFO landing pad is covered...
|
||
|
(DON) and things such as overflights of military bases are ignored....
|
||
|
(DON) the public per say never get the real story. I propose that it
|
||
|
(DON) is as much a fault of media as the elements in the govt that
|
||
|
(DON) suppress the story. and follow up. ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Tracy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Don -- agree with you 100%. Right on the nose...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) a refreshing point of view. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Follow Don GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) Couple of weeks ago, myself and another MUFON investigator
|
||
|
(DON) Dale Wedge proposed attempting to get both pro and con
|
||
|
(DON) elements together in an attempt for a "trial" to try
|
||
|
(DON) the evidence in a court setting. If people such as Klass
|
||
|
(DON) and ciscop would be willing to enter such a setting
|
||
|
(DON) with people such as Imbrogno , Speiser, Lear, Mcabee
|
||
|
(DON) would you be willing to produce such an attempt if it would occure? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Good idea. But beware. Showtime's...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) "trial" of JFK assassination "proved" L.H. Oswald...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) EXACTLY
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) acted alone. Ha Ha.GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) no, Tracy, it proved he pulled the trigger....
|
||
|
(Drax) a separate poll of the jurors afterwards...
|
||
|
(Drax) proved that he DIDN'T pull it alone. ...
|
||
|
(Drax) John Lear is next. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(John LEar) Thanks. What about the Grudge/13 papers. I just spent 2 days with
|
||
|
(John LEar) Bill English and contrary to what several others have said, those
|
||
|
(John LEar) papers and Bills synopsis of them was accurate. He is willing to
|
||
|
(John LEar) come forward at this time and stat his case and debate ANYBODY.
|
||
|
(John LEar) GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) If English is willing to come to us with...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) substantial evidence, there is still time to change the show...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Follow up, John?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK...
|
||
|
(Drax) John got knocked off again...
|
||
|
(Drax) "what kind of substantial proof would you like" he asks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Hungry lizards...GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Hahah
|
||
|
(Drax) OK,...
|
||
|
(Drax) Jim is next, then Marge, then WEdge
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Jim
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Something a little beyond "I saw it,and you'd...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) better believe me. Some evidence would be nice. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) Just a observation on something said earlier
|
||
|
(Jim) There is a certain irony in the percieved
|
||
|
(Jim) need to withold info on GB and other cases...
|
||
|
(Jim) while condeming the Gvt for doing same. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Response, Tracy?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I think that's a flawed analogy...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) The gov. isn't withholding because of sensitivity...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) toward people's privacy. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) That is not the only reason given for withholding..
|
||
|
(Jim) on the part of UFologist.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Can you elaborate, Jim?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) Often there are claims..
|
||
|
(Jim) that they don't want to give out too much..
|
||
|
(Jim) because they want to use the info...
|
||
|
(Jim) to verify later cases....
|
||
|
(Jim) Unfortunately, there may never be similar later...
|
||
|
(Jim) cases so the fact that the info...
|
||
|
(Jim) is never verified later simply never comes out.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) Not to mention writing other books!
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Tracy?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Agree that GB is a freakish case that may never ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) be repeated. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Marge?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) and did not receive much enthusiasm. I hope the Oc.t 14th program...
|
||
|
(mjc) makes the UFO subject credible, because UFOlogists certainly haven't
|
||
|
(mjc) been doing a very good job of that lately. Got to leave you. Have a
|
||
|
(mjc) hungry alien to feed. Thanks, Tracy! ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) We lost your first line Marge,....
|
||
|
(Drax) what did not receive much enthusiasm?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) !The idea of a trial of the UFO subject, which was brought up...
|
||
|
(mjc) to the MUFON P.I.P.E. Committee during the Wash. D.C. symposium. ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) No, it did go over like a lead balloon, but I still think...
|
||
|
(Drax) its viable. Next is Dale. GA
|
||
|
(Drax) Bye Marge, thanks!
|
||
|
|
||
|
(mjc) off
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) Just a follow on the Trial. Tracy mentioned Showtime, but I did
|
||
|
(Wedge) not see what he said. The question is: If Don and I were
|
||
|
(Wedge) too contact both sides, come up with cases, people to debate,
|
||
|
(Wedge) and lawwyers from each side, would someone be interested in
|
||
|
(Wedge) producing such an endeavor that you know of?ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Tracy
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Could be. I think it's an idea of...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) merit, but a hard one to sell. Can't ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) make a judgement without knowing more. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Could it be sold to Showtime? Any idea of how succesful...
|
||
|
(Drax) the Oswald trial was? I know I couldn't tear myself...
|
||
|
(Drax) away from it. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Not too successful. Cut down several hours...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) for American release. Euro version much more...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) complete. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) My gosh, six hours is "cut down"? Oh well...we can...
|
||
|
(Drax) talk about the trial later...
|
||
|
(Drax) I'd like to get into another aspect of the documentary...
|
||
|
(Drax) First, can you tell us what the general segments will cover? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I'd rather answer specific questions...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) To make a list would be inappropriate considering...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) non-disclosure pact. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, just tell me if we get too specific then...
|
||
|
(Drax) Can you tell us anything about how much MJ-12 material...
|
||
|
(Drax) or other "deep blue" stuff will be covered? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) As much as we can get our hands on...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) providng we can do some verification work...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) on the sources involved. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK. Bert, GA.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) ok...
|
||
|
(Bert) Could you elaborate a little on your...
|
||
|
(Bert) comment about Dulce (Bennewitz) and that "something definitly is going ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Sure. I think New Mexico is a place of ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) great importence in the UFO mystery...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Dulce is obviously a place where some...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) unusual sightings and possibly even some ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) mutilations have taken place...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) On a personal level, I know that I
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) instinctively felt that Dulce...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) is an area of high-strangeness...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) As to why, that's anybody's guess...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) And I do mean "guess". GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK,
|
||
|
(Drax) Don is next.
|
||
|
|
||

(DON) Tracy, do you have an address where
|
||
|
(DON) we could send the proposal? ga

(Tracy Torme) 5555 Melrose Blvd. L.A. ..

(Tracy Torme) not sure of zip (mental block)...

(Tracy Torme) is 402 in the hart bldg. GA
|

|
(Drax) Dale next. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) Tracy, just wanted to mention that I've seen your dad 3 times
|
||
|
(Wedge) in concert. I was under 30 and find him to be one of the best
|
||
|
(Wedge) entertainers I've seen. Second, will there be any Anti-UFO
|
||
|
(Wedge) people on the show, such as Klass, Shaeffer, Oberg, etc?ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thanks, Wedge. I'm under thirty too,(just...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) barely). Unfortunately there will be anti-ufo...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) (Oh, did we go metric?)
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) clones on the show. Understand -- I'm not against
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) honest skepticism, I just haven't found much ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) of it. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Gerry, your up. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Gerry) ok...
|
||
|
(Gerry) I take it there is a military installation at Dulce which mere
|
||
|
(Gerry) civilians may not enter. When you say you've been to Dulce, do
|
||
|
(Gerry) you mean that you gained entry to the installation? ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) What installation? As far as I know...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) that's a rumor, and rumors are hard to enter. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) OK, Mike is next, then we have to wrap. Mike?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Mike) ok...
|
||
|
(Mike) time /channel on the ...
|
||
|
(Mike) west coast for the 10/14 doc...
|
||
|
(Mike) and do you "believe" in crashed saucers?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) West coast?Ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Its not "network," Mike.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Mike) Bay area.ga
|
||
|
(Mike) Then where?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Time is 8p.m. Don't know station...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) I do believe in the Roswell crash...

|
(Tracy Torme) and possibly in Laredo crash...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Crash stories . GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) San Agustin?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Tracy, would it be possible for LBS to send ParaNet a list...
|
||
|
(Drax) of stations carrying the program, sometime before it airs? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Don't even think Bill Moore believes
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) San Augisten location anymore...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Believes it to have occured in two ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) different places on same vast ranchland...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Drax -- I'll see what I can do. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Pershitate it, Tracy.....
|
||
|
(Drax) Thank you for joining us tonight, its been enlightening...
|
||
|
(Drax) oh, two quickies, you have a release out this week, don't you? and...
|
||
|
(Drax) when is "Fire in the Sky" due out? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thanks for having me GA
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Yes. i wrote original screenplay called ...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) "Witching Hour". It opens this Friday entitled...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) "spellbinder". Story has been changed so much I barely...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) recognize it, yet most charetors are still mine. Hope it won't
|
||
|
be...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) too bad. "Fire in the Sky" is just going...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) into pre-production and should be out within a year...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Also, do I have time to comment on Rumor mill? GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Absetively, posolutely. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) There are people in UFO circles who
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) have been spreading rediculous rumors about
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) upcoming show. Should you hear such stories...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) floating around, _please_ take with grain of
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) salt. Most have absolutely no basis in fact...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Getting people to take this vitally importent...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) subject seriously is hard enough. Let's not...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) allow the inmates to start running the asylum...
|
||
|
(Tracy Torme) Thanks everyone, Tracy. GA
|
||
|
|

(Wedge) Thanks Tracy

(Jim) Many thinaks

(Drax) supplying the CIS access...

(Drax) Kevin: GET THAT BOY A MODEM!!!
|

(Drax) Take care, and goodnight.

(Wedge) Way to go Kevin!

(Bert) Thanks Tracy, Night.

(Tracy Torme) Bye, all.
|

|
|
||
|
(Drax) This has been a production of The Issues Forum
|
||
|
(Drax) Your moderator was Jim Speiser
|
||
|
(Drax) A Georgia Griffith Presentation
|
||
|
(Drax) MJ-12 has paid for the promotional announcement.
|
||
|
(Drax) This is Don Pardo. Goodnight.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) WOW
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) Playing the MIB was Don Ecker!
|
||
|
(Wedge) Playing Aliens was Dale B. WWWedge
|
||
|
(Wedge) Playing Phil Klass was a Horse's , well you know.
|
||
|
(Wedge) Hey, does anyone know about Willey Smith?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Wish John Lear had stayed online. Funny that every time...
|
||
|
(Drax) he started typing, he got knocked off. I suspect, tho, it...
|
||
|
(Drax) had nought to do with MIBs.
|
||
|
(Drax) unless MIBS stands for Modem In Bad Shape
|
||
|
(Bert) Still funny tho isn't it?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) for all that are interested
|
||
|
(DON) got a nice debate going in Paranet RHO...
|
||
|
(DON) call area code 208-338-9187, tell em Don Sent Ya
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) plug plug
|
||
|
(Drax) About the trial...
|
||
|
(Drax) Lemme send you guys the proposal I did two years ago...
|
||
|
(Drax) see if you get any ideas from that...
|
||
|
(Drax) don't be discouraged by the PIPE committee results. That was...
|
||
|
(Drax) a very bad presentation on my part. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) Well, may;be we will
|
||
|
(DON) sacrifice a virgin. (if we find one)
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Bert) What about Willy Smith, Dale?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) Have you been asked to be on the program Drax?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) No, I don't have anything to contribute on the front lines,...
|
||
|
(Drax) I get everything second hand. If there was a debate, I might be...
|
||
|
(Drax) asked, but thats about it. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) About Willy....
|
||
|
(Wedge) he did a number on Gulf Breezes. I was wondering if...
|
||
|
(Wedge) he had SOLID connections with either CUFOS or MUFON.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Dale, Moseley told me not to tell anyone that Willy...
|
||
|
(Drax) was going to do a hatchet job on Gulf Breeze, precisely because..
|
||
|
(Drax) he IS in MUFON. Didn't want to suffer the same fate as Boyd. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) I was just wondering where Smith's allegiance was....
|
||
|
(Wedge) if with CUFO'S, this could be significant...
|
||
|
(Wedge) if with MUFON, I can see another crucifixion coming....
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) His allegiance is to the truth, I think. Fiercely independent.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) I'll get the tape and make up the transcript of it....
|
||
|
(Wedge) it was wild.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Did he do a convincing job data-wise, or was it just...
|
||
|
(Drax) "this looks hokey"?
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) I could not attend due to the little duffer, but Rick taped
|
||
|
(Wedge) it and told me that he went into great detail on the video, the
|
||
|
(Wedge) pictures and how Macabbee did a bad job on that,
|
||
|
(Wedge) and the amotives behind Andrus being eeiither duped by a hhoax,
|
||
|
(Wedge) or blind because he wants to write a book to be likee the
|
||
|
(Wedge) big guys. I see many ramifications from this one.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Yes, indeedy. The dust is still being kicked up, and ...
|
||
|
(Drax) will be for a long time. What's amazing is this...
|
||
|
(Drax) usually, you either have a Meier-type thing, with lots of negatives ...
|
||
|
(Drax) and explanations for the positive, or a Hudson Valley -type thing,...
|
||
|
(Drax) with lots of positives and few explanations. This one has...
|
||
|
(Drax) long lists of items in both columns. Its damned peculiar. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) By the way....
|
||
|
(Wedge) Smith wants to put Lake Erie in his UNICAT system. He thinks it
|
||
|
(Wedge) is a very good case. There will be an Ohio symposium in October
|
||
|
(Wedge) of this year. We are getting our people together. Also,
|
||
|
(Wedge) had an Abductee report from Stan Goredon. That was given to
|
||
|
(Wedge) the State guy in charge. Things seem to be picking up again.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) You guys chat, I gotta go 10-100.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) PISS
|
||
|
|
||
|
(DON) I was just notified yesterday...
|
||
|
(DON) by a person at the Fair, of a friend, women, professional driver,
|
||
|
(DON) that had a sighting here in Id, that looks like poss.....
|
||
|
(DON) abduction. about 1 hour and half missing..
|
||
|
(DON) to get more info tomorrow, when she will have "victim"..
|
||
|
(DON) call. Will set up appoitment, and talk to her. ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) You know....
|
||
|
(Wedge) Jim had a good point on the withholding of info by the
|
||
|
(Wedge) investigators. It would be nice for the "RICHH GUYS" such as
|
||
|
(Wedge) Hopkins, Striebler, etc., to have ssome sort of an answering
|
||
|
(Wedge) seervice so that people investigating missing time
|
||
|
(Wedge) reports could find out if they are on the right track because
|
||
|
(Wedge) because of what they know. Too much money.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Oh, by the way, may I present Jim Delton, ParaNet Alpha's resident
|
||
|
skeptic.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) Let Jim talk
|
||
|
(Wedge) Jim D., that is
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) I would like to know
|
||
|
(Jim) all of the stuff that isn't known about GB..
|
||
|
(Jim) Why lmust Mr. Ed's..
|
||
|
(Jim) criminal backgrd, if he has one, be shrouded in mystery?
|
||
|
(Jim) I also..
|
||
|
(Jim) Wonder about the quality of the research done by either...
|
||
|
(Jim) Tracy or by Klass because if there is a question raised by the..
|
||
|
(Jim) urinalysis they BOTH should be aware of it if they are going to ..
|
||
|
(Jim) profess to be experts on the case. I do not claim to be an..
|
||
|
(Jim) expert, only to have read the book by Klass, but it is..
|
||
|
(Jim) one of the few items of physcial evidence in the whole case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) I must admit, I was rather surprised by Tracy's answers...
|
||
|
(Drax) to all your questions, Jim.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) GA Dale
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Wedge) The time that you will see Ed, in all of his glory...........
|
||
|
(Wedge) will be on a book tour. I still loove to sit back and see the
|
||
|
(Wedge) Hopkiins tapes when he says only a hand full of people who have
|
||
|
(Wedge) been abducted have come forward...I have seen enough
|
||
|
(Wedge) to count on both hands, toes, and any other thing protruding...
|
||
|
(Wedge) come on Hopkins, you made your money, give us the info we need
|
||
|
(Wedge) to see if our cases are as ggood or as bad as the onees youhave
|
||
|
(Wedge) inveestigated.ga
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Gerry) Can someone straighten me out on Dulce? ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) Well, to be fair, Hopkins is speaking comparatively, based on how...
|
||
|
(Drax) many people he BELIEVES have actually been abducted....
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) Lear says millions
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) On Ed's criminal background, there is a reason for shrouding that...
|
||
|
(Drax) in mystery, and that is that it is NOT significant, if what I hear
|
||
|
about it...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) well...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) is true. Don't forget, the guy is still opting for anonymity, and if...
|
||
|
(Drax) it should come out who he is by accident, he may lose his business. GA
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Jim) IF it...
|
||
|
(Jim) is not significant, what;s the big deal and you don't have to say who he ..
|
||
|
(Jim) is to say what the crime was unless it is such a strange..
|
||
|
(Jim) crime that telling would identify.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) No, I wont say who he is, but someone else might, and he chooses NOT...
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Mike) Gerry, read page 578 in UFO CRash
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Drax) to have that made public. Besides, one thing I've been...
|
||
|
(Drax) skeptical about is "where are all the other witnesses?" Well, it seems...
|
||
|
(Drax) there are many after all, and so one mysterious rap decades ago...
|
||
|
(Drax) is, to me, insignificant. GA
|
||
|
