Jan Harzan |
This
week, given the controversy that had erupted in May, I invited Jan Harzan back
to talk about that, among other things. I covered the part of the program that
dealt with the MUFON Inner Circle in a much longer post that can be seen here:
The
last part of the program dealt with some of the speakers who had been invited
to the MUFON Symposium. While it seemed that Harzan admitted that some of the
tales being told were not as credible as others, he also suggested that MUFON
had an obligation to provide its membership with diverse opinions and let them
decide for themselves what they wanted to believe. You can listen to Jan Harzan
here:
(And
if you have trouble with the link, try YouTube and A Different Perspective,
Kevin Randle, Jan Harzan. That should get you to the proper interview.)
I
had hoped that MUFON might use discretion in selecting the speakers, especially
given some of the wild tales being told, but it seems that most viewpoints are
welcome, no matter how far out… except for those that are not welcome… While I
am not a fan of Michael Horn and his drumbeating for the Billie Meier contact
case, apparently MUFON agrees with that assessment. They have not provided Horn
with a platform which makes me wonder how they decide what is credible enough
for their Symposium.
Next
week: Mark O’Connell
Topic:
His biography of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, The Close
Encounters Man.
I think MUFON lost credibility when it endorsed the Hangar 1 program. While there was some good cases there as a lot of nonsense as well.
