This
week, I spoke with Don Schmitt. My plan since between the two of us we have
something like a century of experience investigating UFOs (which, when I look
at that, it is horrifying…), I thought it would be interesting for us to talk
about our experiences in the field. I thought it would give an idea about the
depth that some of those investigations took. You can listen to the show here:
We
both talked about the first investigations we had conducted. In my case, I was
looking for a single answer. Time and location weren’t all that important to me
at that time. I just wanted to learn if one of the ways the Air Force dismissed
UFO investigation by claiming that most sightings were of blurry, blobs of
light in the distance, was true. According to the witness, that wasn’t the
case. She saw a well defined craft not all that far away.

I
did ask Don what he thought of the Glenn Dennis tale give all we know today. At
one time the Dennis testimony was an important part of the Roswell case. In the
world today, not so much. I hadn’t talked to Don about this in a long time and
found his answer to be interesting… yes, I am withholding this statement to
entice you all to listen to the program.
If
you enjoyed this diversion from the normal course of the discussion, please let
me know. I believe that these sorts of, well, chats, provide some insight into
the way information is developed and investigations are conducted. If you did
enjoy it, I will schedule others periodically.
Next
week, I will be talking with Diane Tessman and her theories about the origin of
the UFOs. It should be interesting, especially if you are interested in time
travel. If you have questions, send them along in the comments section here and
I’ll try to get them asked.
And,
for a brief commercial message… my latest book, The Best of Project Blue
Book is available now. It is a look at some of the best cases in the Blue
Book files that might have been overlooked in years past. I bring in research
that I have conducted, using resources that were unavailable to the Air Force
at the time of the sightings. I believe it gives, well, a different perspective
on these cases…

Must say, your conversation {you and Don) was fascinating, better than the UFO issue (always riddled with uncertainty) in that it details an investigation, it's pittfalls and possible successes, a good story in itself of the human attempt to ferret out the truth, where ever it may lead.
Agree , but again too short.
We want more...
Fantastic interview Dr. Randle, please more w/Don
