I am currently putting a post together about McDonald's views on the "cover-up" versus the "foul-up" debate, which occupies numerous researchers.<br /><br />Keith.Keith Basterfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367372091711887711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040353126484409527.post-88592516160738685832012-03-27T16:57:42.944+10:302012-03-27T16:57:42.944+10:30To a degree, I wish McDonald had shied away from m...To a degree, I wish McDonald had shied away from making the case for ‘extra-terrestrial’ visitation. At the least, it may have been more diplomatic to discuss the possibility without asserting it. In ‘Firestorm,’ Druffel describes how Klass (p194) was offended by the US Navy sponsoring the Aussie trip and there’s also the ridicule he encountered from Conte (p499). Given the evidence and the period, the ETH seems to me to be a reasonable speculation but opponents used it as a stick to beat him with.<br /><br />I found it interesting that he refrained from giving too much attention to potential occupants. There are exceptions, but I’ve noticed many of the credible UFO researchers have barriers and limitations to where their thoughts can/can’t go. For example, ‘aliens’ can crash at Roswell but it’s considered ridiculous that such ‘aliens’ have ever interacted with humans. On the other side of the fence, Arthur C Clarke was cheerfully saying ET had visited Earth ‘scores’ of times, but certainly not in the ‘present century.’ <br /><br />Ann Druffel did a long interview with Tim Binnall that you and the readers might enjoy hearing. The main focus is Firestorm and McDonald and I think it’s ufology oral history of a high order. <br /> http://www.binnallofamerica.com/boaa2.22.9.htmlKandinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598864214791609926noreply@blogger.com
