On Saturday, lab technician Gordon Holmes, 55, from Shipley, Yorkshire claims to have taken video of the mythological sea creature, the Loch Ness Monster. He says it moved about 6 miles per hour and kept a fairly straight course as he filmed. While mos…

International Forum Discuss British Police Reportedly Chase UFO at the Political Forums; British Police Reportedly Chase UFO So was it a UFO or not? That’s what a lot of Britons are wondering……

In July 2009, after Exopolitics’ Michael Salla posted an article at his website in which he recounted the Knell tale as if it were credible–and then mentioned my own well-documented research on UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites–I wrote to Salla to rebuke him.

Salla has consistently been one of the most uninformed, incompetent, and yet arrogant “researchers” in the field of ufology.

Unfortunately, when he blurts out his garbage, many websites, like this one, pick it up and repeat it as if it were credible information from a legitimate source. In the case of Michael Salla, that is almost never true.

Dear Mr Hastings,

I mentioned you and your book in the article below. If you would like to send me a review copy, I can do a more detailed article on your book for my Examiner column. I have thousands of readers so it should help promote awareness of the important issues you discuss in your book.

My address follows:

Dr. Salla,

Classic! Precisely what I would expect from you. The Cronkite story was discredited years ago. Bill Knell?! You are actually citing Bill Knell as a credible source of information?! Why don’t you do your homework before you publish or blurt out this kind of nonsense.

As I told you once before, my well-grounded research on the UFO-Nukes Connection can only be harmed by your mentioning it in your incompetently-researched articles. In my view, your public utterances have set back legitimate UFO research by decades.

Ever hear of Richard Hall? He died yesterday. You and your ilk would benefit from reading what credible persons–research giants such as Hall–have published over the years. IMHO, the corrosive effect of your influence is every bit as damaging to the UFO-disclosure process as the disingenuous UFO-debunking articles regularly offered-up by CSICOP/CSI.

I cringe every time I hear someone associate my work with what you publish. Please don’t do me any more favors.
