The date is November 9, 2007. We have just passed the 60 year anniversary of when UFOs became a United States government public relations problem.

The scene on November 9^th looked promising. Thanks to a UFO questions posed to presidential campaigners Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson the UFO issue was now being discussed by media all over the United States. Not only was it being discussed, it was being done in a tone that was not quite as condescending as in the past.

The future looked bright. On November 12, there was going to be news conference at the National Press Club in Washington where high ranking pilots and officials from around the world would be telling their stories of UFO encounters.

The Clinton Library had just released 18 Freedom of Information Act Requests related to files from the Bill Clinton White House files. The release was a big story because Hillary Clinton was still the front runner to be the next U.S. president and some of these FOIAs were her files from the Clinton White House. Then the word came out; 12 of the released FOIAs were related to the Clinton White House role in trying to get...

Well he did it.

Jimmy Carter has now indirectly denied 70% of everything I have written about him on my Presidential UFO website. The stunning Carter interview can be found on the New England Skeptical Society Website.

At first this sounds like the death of Carter Presidential Ufology, but after careful reflection, it has become an opportunity to go back to the sources who first gave me the stories. They include heavyweights just like Jimmy Carter including prominent civil rights attorney Danny Sheehan and actress Shirley MacLaine. Like Carter they are not easily accessible and haven’t really flaunted their UFO connection to Jimmy Carter.

The Carter denials also now give weight to people like Dr. Steven Greer and his disclosure witnesses who have always maintained President Carter was out of the loop on the UFO secret.

What at first sounds like disaster could end up being like a Saturday night battle of the Titans which might actually get us closer to the truth.

A new series of research requests has begun to get the answers. I can hardly wait.

Billy Cox, a Florida Journalist has been looking for him. So has Dr. Steven Greer. UFO lobbyist Steven Bassett invited him to a conference next spring to announce his plans for UFO disclosure. So far there is no news that Richardson has replied to the invites and the questions.

So what's the Bill deal? Richardson is a politician which puts him into the book of “Scoundrels I have Known and Loved." It’s not like he’s expected to reply to everyone – or anyone.

Well, the key here is that Richardson has been interested in UFOs in the past, and Ufologists are eternal optimists. In 2004, Richardson was quoted talking about the famous Roswell UFO crash in a book written about the archaeological dig at the supposed crash site called “The Roswell Dig Diaries.”

"Clearly, it would help everyone if the U.S. government disclosed everything it knows," said Richardson, who served as Energy secretary under President Bill Clinton. "The American people can handle the truth -- no matter how bizarre or mundane. ... With full disclosure and our best scientific investigation, we should be able to find out what happened on that fateful day in July 1947."

Further to this, as...

As long as UFOs have been around they have often been regarded by the general public as a tabloid type story, sometimes not worthy of serious consideration. This preconceived attitude has extended itself to the rest of the media which rarely does anything beyond fluff on the subject.

This image of UFOs may have been created by the CIA in January 1953 when they gave secret instructions to take “immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired.” The CIA committee suggested an educational debunking program to be “accomplished by mass media such as television, motion pictures, and popular articles.”

Now, what’s important about this? Well, unknown to everyone who believes the UFO tabloid myth, there actually is only one tabloid that does UFO stories. The main tabloid papers such as the National Enquirer and The Star do not cover UFO stories and haven't done so for almost two decades.

Now after 28 years of putting out wacko stories, the only UFO tabloid newspaper that did do UFO stories is folding. As of August 2007, the Publisher American Media Inc announced it would stop publishing the Weekly...

I have filed 80+ FOIAs for UFO files with the Clinton Presidential Library. Even though the requests were filed in February 2006 I have not received a single page of the roughly 30,000 pages that are under review for me. Now Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption has filed a lawsuit against U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, which runs the Clinton Library. The lawsuit requests Hillary Clinton's files related to the her involvement with the Bill Clinton administration.

How this is resolved will be of interest to Ufology, as almost all of my UFO requests were filed before the Judicial Watch FOIA, and they should therefore be processed first.
