In particular, there have been a series of interviews conducted<br \/>\non Larry King Live, the<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/worldNews\/idUKN1248419720071112?pageNumber=1\"><br \/>\nNovember 12, 2007, National Press Club conference<\/a>, and the Presidential debate<br \/>\nconcerning UFOs sparked by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_michael__071102_dennis_kucinich_2c_bil.htm\">Shirley<br \/>\nMacLaine&#8217;s revelation<\/a> of Dennis Kucinich&#8217;s sightings. This has done much to<br \/>\nraise public awareness of UFO&#8217;s. There have been those in the exopolitical movement<br \/>\narguing that in the interest of being &quot;media savvy&quot;, the extraterrestrial<br \/>\nelement needs to be downplayed. For example, in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufocasebook.com\/2008\/livetranscript012408.html\">January<br \/>\n24, 2008 Larry King Live <\/a>show following up on the Stephenville Texas, UFO<br \/>\nsightings, James Fox explicitly excluded discussion of the extraterrestrial issue<br \/>\nand just focused on the UFO sightings themselves as &quot;unexplained&quot; phenomena.<br \/>\nThis replicated what happened at the <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/worldNews\/idUKN1248419720071112?pageNumber=1\">November<br \/>\nNational Press Club conference<\/a> that was organized by James Fox and Leslie<br \/>\nKean. The emphasis was on UFO sightings and the extraterrestrial hypothesis was<br \/>\nnot raised at all. That is a very dangerous strategy since it opens the door to<br \/>\nthe national security explanation that Michael Shermer discussed on the most recent<br \/>\nLarry King show that UFOs may be classified craft that are only disclosed on a<br \/>\nneed to know basis.<\/p>\n<p>I know James Fox and Leslie Kean mean well and believe<br \/>\nthat by focusing on the unknown aspect of UFO sightings that the right doors will<br \/>\nopen. However, they are now actively playing a gatekeeper role in how to best<br \/>\napproach the UFO issue with regard to the mainstream media. They are being cultivated<br \/>\nas regular guests and authorities on UFOs. It would be a shame if they continue<br \/>\nto exclude discussion of the extraterrestrial hypothesis on the misplaced grounds<br \/>\nthat that is strategically the best way to deal with skeptics, get mainstream<br \/>\nmedia interest, and gain public support for Congressional inquiries, etc. The<br \/>\nCIA has used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cufos.org\/IUR_article3.html\">national security<br \/>\nargument in the past to dismiss the extraterrestrial hypothesis<\/a> that UFOs<br \/>\nare interplanetary in origin (which they claim was exploited as a cover to genuine<br \/>\nclassified projects), and will do so again to explain away the extraterrestrial<br \/>\nhypothesis. Congress plays no significant oversight role when it comes to Waived<br \/>\nSpecial Access Programs so what would a Congressional inquiry achieve if the US<br \/>\nAir Force claimed that the sightings involved classified projects that are Waived<br \/>\nSAPs?<\/p>\n<p>We mustn&#8217;t forget that credible whistleblowers have revealed the <a href=\"http:\/\/tech.groups.yahoo.com\/group\/exopolitics\/message\/385\">existence<br \/>\nof antigravity craft such as the TR-3B<\/a> that is approximately 600 feet wide,<br \/>\nand can replicate the speeds and right angle turns of many UFO sightings. Also,<br \/>\nBen Rich, former Lockheed Martin CEO, said: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etfriends.com\/conference\/addinfo\/howe.html\">&quot;We<br \/>\nnow have the technology to take ET home.&quot;<\/a> That suggests that classified<br \/>\ncraft now exist that can replicate the performance of extraterrestrial vehicles<br \/>\nprobably due to reverse engineering as Col. Corso explained in his testimony and<br \/>\nbook.<\/p>\n<p>Excluding the extraterrestrial hypothesis and focusing exclusively<br \/>\non the UFO sightings themselves may ultimately serve to perpetuate non-disclosure<br \/>\nof extraterrestrial life for several more years. I can easily see how the TR-3B<br \/>\ncan one day be unveiled to the world media, and U.S. Government authorities claim<br \/>\nthat it has been around for decades, was highly classified, and was what people<br \/>\nwere mistaking for UFOs for decades. The Air Force or CIA could claim that they<br \/>\nactually cultivated the UFO issue to hide the truth of these very classified projects.<br \/>\nHence, it would be claimed that the UFO problem has been solved, and the idea<br \/>\nof extraterrestrial life is still just the conjecture of conspiracy theorists.<br \/>\nJames Fox and Leslie Kean current strategy may be opening the door to such a scenario.<br \/>\nIn short, it&#8217;s a very dangerous strategy to exclude discussion of the extraterrestrial<br \/>\nhypothesis given the likelihood that classified antigravity vehicles have been<br \/>\ndeveloped and will be eventually unveiled to the public and used to explain away<br \/>\ndecades of UFO reports. Then skeptics like Michael Shermer will claim that they<br \/>\nwere correct all along and that &#8216;unidentifieds&#8217; were highly classified government<br \/>\naircraft not disclosed to the public for several decades.<\/p>\n<p>We might need<br \/>\nto accept that we are probably in the midst of a well developed disclosure plan<br \/>\nwith a clear sequence of orchestrated events, and that the Larry King Live show<br \/>\nis part of the process. The plan likely will take advantage of the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/americanchronicle.com\/articles\/50308\">Stephenville<br \/>\nUFO sightings<\/a> and other UFO sightings so as to promote a disclosure scenario<br \/>\nwhere UFOs are explained away as highly advanced classified antigravity technology.<br \/>\nIndeed, we might consider such a scenario as inevitable, coming before a more<br \/>\ngenuine disclosure of extraterrestrial life, since it will do much to allay public<br \/>\nconcerns over extraterrestrial motivations and technology. After all, the government<br \/>\ncan say that we have our own fleet of advanced antigravity craft that can replicate<br \/>\nthe performance of UFOs, so no cause for concern if extraterrestrial life is found<br \/>\nto exist. I believe it inevitable that genuine disclosure will be preceded by<br \/>\na limited disclosure based on the idea that UFOs are classified antigravity projects.<br \/>\nThe secret planners may want to sow this idea into the mass consciousness for<br \/>\na few years or more before going ahead with genuine disclosure of extraterrestrial<br \/>\nlife. So eliminating the extraterrestrial hypothesis while discussing unexplained<br \/>\nsightings plays into the hands of the shadow government planners. <\/p>\n<p>We need<br \/>\nto be a little more sophisticated and not play into the hands of such shadow government<br \/>\nplans. Ed Komarek&#8217;s latest article, <a href=\"http:\/\/exopolitics.blogspot.com\/2008\/01\/exopolitics-do-we-collaborate.html\">&quot;Exopolitics:<br \/>\nDo We Collaborate<\/a>,&quot; nicely introduces the dilemma faced by the UFO and<br \/>\nexopolitical communities using the metaphor of occupied Europe in WWII when it<br \/>\ncomes to the reality of extraterrestrial life. The temptation to dampen down discussion<br \/>\nof extraterrestrial life in order to get mainstream media support of UFO sightings<br \/>\nis very real, and is currently occurring. This must be avoided. Otherwise, one<br \/>\nmay facilitate a partial disclosure of UFOs as classified antigravity vehicles<br \/>\nthat may delay genuine disclosure of extraterrestrial life for years to come.\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Michael E.
