However, it makes for comfortable copy for the press (provocative but doesn't need to be taken too seriously and BTW, it is good for attention). The mainstream media has largely gotten out of the UFO reporting business because it is too "odd," doesn't have much star appeal, and to do it right involves too much work. I have worked as a journalist. Trust me, this is what it pretty much comes down to.Dennis Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604121614287903797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-84910828299132654272011-05-30T10:22:24.573-07:002011-05-30T10:22:24.573-07:00cda wrote:

One crazy scenario is simply being replaced by another."<br /><br />Quite unlike Jacobsen's Mengele/Stalin/Horten brothers/genetically engineered mutant children story, there is nothing "dotty" or "crazy" about the idea that Jacobsen's source (Alfred O'Donnell) was being deliberately misled, i.e., fed a cover story. Counterintelligence does that sort of thing all the time. (E.g., did you know Roswell was actually caused by a weather balloon and crash dummies from the future--can you believe some people actually believe THAT crazy story?)<br /><br />On the other hand, Bragalia is merely speculating about what happened to O'Donnell. As I wrote on Bragalia's blog, I thought a more likely scenario was what O'Donnell told ABC Nightline, that he was trying to help Annie's book, which I (as well as the ABC reporter) took to mean to help her sell books. Part of the reason I think that is I don't think a man like O'Donnell would be dumb enough to swallow a Mengele/Stalin story or think a Horten flying wing could actually be remotely flown to N.M. clear from Alaska.<br /><br />Certainly O'Donnell wasn't reciting the modern USAF counterintel Mogul balloon/crash dummies line. Despite it's nuttiness, his Roswell story still had many elements of those crazy Ufologists: the retrieval and cover-up of an unusual craft with strange, small bodies having big heads and eyes. And nary a Mogul balloon or crash dummy in sight.David Rudiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213284910238852377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-75899773826204571802011-05-30T02:30:52.607-07:002011-05-30T02:30:52.607-07:00Kevin:

There are people in the media favourable to your views. There are people in the same media who do not favour your views. <br /><br />Keyhoe, decades ago, was sure he had proof of ETs visiting the earth. Perhaps you are equally sure you have the same proof (Roswell for instance). Probably after 60 years most of the MSM are bored to death with UFOs and ufology, but there are always exceptions - such as when a 'new' idea is promoted, such as that by Annie Jacobsen. Moreover, she is one of 'them', i.e. the MSM, so they listen, or pretend to listen, to her. But her story will die a quick death, so you need not get concerned over this. <br /><br />If you wish to cast aspersions on the MSM, choose your targets more precisely. The MSM covers a vast range nowadays, including on-line media. Also, remember that there are MSM outside the US as well. <br /><br />You say that some years ago you told a junior reporter that you could "prove much of what we said about UFOs". What did you claim to be able to prove, and how important or relevant was it? Surely you were not claiming to 'prove' an ET craft landed at Roswell.<br /><br />The ET case is not helped one iota by one investigator (Tony Bragalia) putting forth the dotty idea that O'Donnell was himself the victim of a gigantic cover-up of an ET event by his superiors while at Area 51! One crazy scenario is simply being replaced by another.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.com
