A UFO nut that thinks forces are conspiring against them?

That's a first.

This story would be marginal on Coast.

I’ve never quite understood why some bizarre beliefs that have to do with religion are accepted and admired while other bizarre beliefs that have to do with UFO’s and ET’s are not accepted and are ridiculed.

To call this the OTHER inconvenient truth is to bow to the primary inconvenient “truth” of Man Made Global Warming.

Yes, and perhaps also the enemy’s next gen projects, which we know a heck of a lot more about than we can let on to the enemy, without alerting the enemy to our methods for finding things out. Cato is probably responding appropriately to a CIA/NSA request not to stir up public interest in this topic.

He should know that Bowel Movements and UFO’s are not to be discussed publicly.

When an extraterrestrial donates $100 to Cato, they’ll recognize them.

Actually that should be "100 credits" - in gold.

See posts 5, 9, and 27. If people keep insisting loudly that they be given details of highly classified military and intelligence matters, I have no problem with the military and intelligence communities employing the cheapest effective response to this threat, by dismissing the insisters as lunatics who are given to hallucinations about flying saucers and little green men.

The Global Warming Crowd is “on the bus” together.

And they seek to stifle dissent and ridicule of their agenda.

Isn’t it amazing that all UFO activity is kept under tight censorship by the US government?

You’d think those pesky aliens would learn to land in some other country that wasn’t under US Government control where the truth could get out.

Wormhole-traveling space monsters don’t exist. But I sure don’t want to see anyone lose their jobs for speaking their mind.

But if their "speaking their mind" publicly discredits their employer's credibility, I wouldn't want to see the employer's rights to freedom of association infringed upon either.

The chief belief here is not that there may be life forms from other planets visiting the planet Earth.

The chief belief being espoused is that there is a US government led cover-up into the reality of UFOs.

It’s a military-political conspiracy, not a scientific theory.

“First some background. I’m a Ph.D. economist with a national reputation in the antitrust area” In other words this person was unqualified to write about scientific or military subjects much less a hot potato UFO subject the 3ed rail of science. When you have someone working for you that suddenly talks about dangerous subjects they are not personally qualified for thats the time to cut the cord.

The UFOs keep heating up our planet as they enter and leave our atmosphere. < /s >

Could you expound?

When the military declines to discuss extremely classified technology with the general media, that’s not a “conspiracy”, it’s safeguarding national security.
