The anti-MILAB group has made an attempt to connect my
private research interests with my workplace.
This is in response to: (1) the publication of my third
MILAB article in the MUFON UFO Journal, April 1999,
No. 372; (2) a reply concerning an article attempting to
debunk research about alleged military involvement in some
"alien" abduction encounters by Victoria Alexander (CAUS
updates, March 1999); and (3) our new book titled
MILABS!
Therefore, I am informing all readers and other
researchers that my research of UFO phenomena, abductions
and MILABS is not connected with my work as a space
scientist. It does not represent the opinion of my
department, my director, etc. and is not supported by them.
My research is private and is based on my own hypothesis,
which is supported by investigative journalism.
I also do not claim that the whole United States military
or related intelligence agencies are involved in alien
abductions, UFO-research, kidnappings of abductees,
examinations, etc., and I am not anti-American.
However, it is my democratic opinion that there are
indications that covert human forces may be involved in the
abduction phenomenon. This is only an hypothesis and the
discussion about this should not be forbidden or censored in
democratic societies. If attempts continue to be made, we
should remind ourselves and the anti-MILAB group, that we do
not live in the former Soviet Union or Serbia, we live in a
democratic society.
It is a known, published fact that segments of the United
States military-intelligence agencies experimented on
unwitting people during the Cold War (New Scientist,
No. 1961, 1995; No. 2030, 1996; No. 2058, 1996, etc.), even
though it was illegal. I do not believe that our MILAB
critics can guarantee or prove that such secret experiments
have ended.
Editor's comment - Many people are curious
as to why Peter Gersten of CAUS would solicit an abductee debunking
article such as Victoria Alexander's What Would Freud Say?
and send it out in his numerous electronic mailings. It is difficult
to see how anything in her article would actually further the 'CAUS.'
