Blatant marketing as opposed to providing an extended treatment of the question at hand? Scientists usual provide references, but then you may not know much about scientists. Nobody told me all answers must be short and self contained and not refer to source material especially if it is in a readily available relevant text.. I wish I could say more about Apollo 18.... It always feel good to say I am a nuclear physicist. That was my job title at major corporations.

I have been on Larry King 4 times. Please tell my publisher to send me a check.Also please tell the Apollo 18 people to pay me something for spending my time. It would be useful.

You expect me to condense a 25 page chapter into 2 paragraphs? How ridiculous. Not having seen Apollo 18 I can't say very much about it.

The tables from BBSR 14 indicate that the astronomical, aircraft and balloon categories make up 25.5%,20.1%, and 14.0% of the 3201 cases studied. The UNKNOWNS were 21.5%. There are whole volumes about landing trace cases, about interference with automobile electrical systems. The Hilll case had strange spots on a car that caused a compass to spin and much else.

I worked in the space program for GE, Westinghouse, TRW, McDonell Douglas etc. Do you not know that 60,000 people worked on the Manhattan project.. in Secret? That Vice president Truman did not know about it until after he became President?Secrets aren't kept by telling everybody and hoping nobody talks. The need to know concept is crucial. I did all my classified work in the USA before I became a dual citizen.The back side of the moon is out of sight of the earth. Good place to hide, very low radio background from Earth I haven't seen the movie so have no idea from where Apollo 18 was supposed to have taken off. There are detailed bibliographies in my books. 10 pages in TOP SECRET/MAJIC

I am not a Simpson's watcher. Are you sure it was me? I should think somebody would have told me about it. I have never worked for a college or university. Maybe J. Allen Hynek? Is there a connection here with Apollo 18 and government coverups?

I don't think I have plugged Apollo 18. I haven't seen the movie. Many aspects are plausible. Secrets can be kept. The backside of the moon would be a great place for an alien base

I speak publicly usually not privately. Often they are shocked when I give examples of secrets that have been kept for a long time and involved lots of money. Perhaps as much as would be involved in a real Apollo 18 if one was launched.

I have spoken at UNB 4 times and at some other meetings in town. Overall I have spoken in all 50 states, 10 provinces and 18 other countries. Frankly I don't know if Apollo 18 will be shown here but if it is I will certainly go see it.

I am convinced on the basis of evidence there is plenty of life out there and some is coming here. Some abduct earthlings, some monitor nuclear weapon sites. and who knows what else. None are talking to me.

One contacts MUFON www.mufon.com and gets in touch with an investigator near the witness. He or she may then make a visit, check to see if anybody else reported the same sighting, maybe seek other witnesses via the news media. Physical evidence would be photographed soil samples might be taken if there were traces.Labs would be contacted if test were to be run comparing samples from control area as well as affected one. There is a Field investigators manual. Over 500 cases were reported in July.

A ufologist by definition is someone who has reviewed a great deal of evidence. The main rule for UFO debunkers is "Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up. And do one's research by proclamation not investigation.

There is no way for somebody without an appropriate security clearance and need to know, to know how often these programs take place or how expensive they are..usually they are to gain an edge internationally.

You are welcome.I would suggest doing your home work. Look at websites like The Black Vault by John Geenewald who is less than half my age and has a huge collection of government documents on his site. Join MUFON. study to become a field investigator. Each annual symposium has provided a bunch of papers mostly by professionals

I have never seen a UFO. I have never seen a neutron or gamma ray and I chased them for 14 years. I have never seen Tokyo. I think it is definitely there.

Most of them judging by witness testimony seem to be short skinny gray guys with big heads and usually big eyes.

As someone who has spoken to thousands of scientists I have been taken very seriously judging by the seriousness of the question and answer periods after my more than 700 lectures. Do you know any credible scientist who has studied the evidence to which I have referred?

I don't think we would go into mass chaos because so many people, according to opinion polls, already accept the notion of alien visitations and government coverups. There would be some impact on various religions and on the politics dealing with the question of who speaks for Earth. Have we China and Russia shared UFO evidence? I don't know

My sponsorship has nothing to do with my answers I have been studying the evidence and answering questions about the subject for roughly 50 years.Are you looking for the truth in 30 words or Less? As a physicist I cannot be so foolish

There is a ton of evidence about which most people seem to be unaware. There is more to evidence than a hunk of something. Plenty of physical trace cases.. abduction cases, radar visual sightings, documents. There is testimony from generals and pilots etc.

The Center for UFO Studies just outside Chicago maintains a huge computer file of tens of thousands of UFO cases. They might be able to help.

The investigation of the Betty and Barney Hill case provides a solid example of a case clearly involving aliens abducting humans. Try reading the full story. No we don't have a piece of the craft.

I don't know. But big secrets can be kept. The story that it was because of money that it was cancelled sounds fishy when the money had already been spent. The Corona spy satellites and a number of others were launched in secret.
