I was contacted by a "stringer" (freelance) reporter who said that he was working on a story for the Guardian newspaper and he was given my name as "someone who worked covertly with the Government" on UFOs.
No. Lie.
I was told that I had also had my book, UFO Contact, forwarded to the United States Air Force.
Half truth.
An old contact had lent a copy of the book to someone who is in the USAF and he told the contact that he was going to buy four more copies for colleagues "into" the UFO subject -all were, apparently in ranks ranging from Colonel, Captain and so on. Yes, four copies were bought by someone in the US but even as publisher I am not allowed that information.
I never forwarded copies of any material -books or otherwise- to the USAF.
The reporter then referred to an incident I was involved in while in Germany in the early 1980s. Only two people have ever beemn told the story and I can guess which one it was who blabbed.
So if anything appears in print I deny it all -and check facts with me first.
