The sort of things that I'm trying to offer everyone here are chimeras--things that owe part of themselves to the book research and part of themselves to other "inside" UFO history. I'm trying to give you stuff that you may not have been able to get before [whether in concrete content or in context and interpretation.] It is not exactly the book but it is in harmony with the book. ---Mebane saw CSI's interaction with Hynek as an opportunity to influence a person in a privileged position regarding UFO study, and, mostly without knowing it, they did. Hynek shortly was involved with the primary investigator of Kelly-Hopkinsville [Bud Ledwith] and got quite impressed with the series of strange cases there and nearby. Probably this pushed him even further away from the ETH, as it all seemed so "paranormally real". Nevertheless, he was fired up enough that he went to France to talk to Michel about the 1954 wave.-------Regarding the "giants" of old: these giants came to the field when it was cleaner than it is now. If you really wanted to, you could quickly sort out the idiots and the incompetents, and focus on people worth listening to and corresponding with. Mebane, Davis, and Bloecher actually joined NICAP and folded CSI, and Ted and Isabel even moved to DC. Today, you guys can't penetrate the fog so easily. I'm sure that there are a number of Mebanes among you--you just don't know who to talk to and trust. With this blog, I'm trying to give some of you a little well-lit beach-head of solid information that you CAN trust, and, within my time allotted, answers to your questions that you can confidence in.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-77204416093982379252010-02-14T09:31:57.976-08:002010-02-14T09:31:57.976-08:00Dear Professor,

Will this be in the upcoming book?<br /><br />Mebane essentially asks Hynek a variation of the old 'When did you stop beating your wife?' question in the latter part of the letter (knowing full well that Hynek had to have heard of the occupant reports) in what looks like an attempt to fish for info, and also reads Hynek the riot act concerning the landing reports...all while coming across as a serious scholar of the phenomenon. <br /><br />Of course, Mebane was right; the landing reports are either falsified or true with no middle ground.<br /><br />When did people like this STOP entering the field?
