I did an internet search and the best guess is that he's actually a Canadian AF Officer who has been retired for awhile. He has several interviews in UFO journals. I bet he recently bought stock in Reynolds Wrap an is trying to create a demand.
LOL, meant to also ask about the ‘tentative’ bit. From the sound of it itll either happen or it won’t. LOL, I think that just about covers the bases and allows the author to claim ‘victory’ no matter what happens. Where on earth do these folks come from and why do publishers print it? I predict, not tentatively BTW, this book is on the fast track for the book store bargain section.
