Greetings! The Search. The search for answers to the UFO enigma is a never-ending journey, one full of unexpected twists and turns, ripe with rewarding experiences and difficult times. My own journey began in the late 1980’s and has been an all encompassing effort, time consuming and at times completely frustrating. In all that time I have found no defintive answers to the UFO problem, not a single piece of data, evidence, or testimony that would allow a definitive and precise conclusion to be drawn. Now, there certainly are UFO cases on the books which have been proven to be hoaxes, or have been explained, or have remained unidentified, but an overall answer to the UFO problem has remained beyond our abilities to attain. The many theories that have been put forward to explain the UFO phenomenon range from the somewhat reasonable to the downright outlandish, but since nobody has reached the end of the journey and found the overall answer, none of those same theories can be cast aside. In my professional interactions with the UFO community (there’s that term again,) I take great pains to respect all points of view and positions, all the while defending my own positons on the UFO problem dispassionately. I have found that the process of conversation, and the exchanging of ideas, can be the most pleasurable and productive experience, something I enjoy thoroughly. I sincerely hope that everyone out there has the opportunity to enjoy such cordial interactions. Thank you for the privilege of your time.
