Hello Free Spirit,
"I find your statement a usless debunk mentioning issues based in
your personal interpretations but again not a fact, nothing is a fact
but theories and I mean all of them. You must be humble and accept
this instead of that arrogance pretending you are the ultimate source
for the NASA UFO anomalies. Receiving the EBE award placed you in
an unbearable level of arrogance sir."
Well sir, that's quite a series of accusations. You are entitled to your opinion just as I. I suppose I should take umbrage at being accused of
such childishness, but I won't. So. I'll just rebut those accusations the best I can. The EBE award was quite unexpected, and I didn't mention it
in my post because it was irrelevant. To trumpet that thing along with what I said WOULD have been arrogant. And I never, ever, claimed to be some
great master, the last word, on anything. Those were YOUR words. Show me where I've said anything like that anywhere.
It's true, Jaime Maussan is famous all over the world, and I'm not. So what? Were I some frustrated little troll aching for the spotlight, I'd be
posting here all the time, trying to lure visitors to my website. As it is, I've posted less than a dozen times since joining in 2005. And that's
only ONE example of things I could do to "blow my own horn". I've turned down more than half a dozen offers to be on TV since 2000. Most
recently, to participate in a two-hour stand alone History Channel "UFO Files" documentary on NASA UFOs. I don't CARE about being famous. Fame is
pressure. Fame is an anchor round one's neck. Fame is loss of privacy. Fame is corrupting. Fame, in and of itself, does NOT impart knowledge or
ability. Paris Hilton is living proof that. So who needs it?
I don't make my living selling DVDs. The one sold at Laughlin is my first effort in producing DVDs for sale. Tim Crawford came to me back in
December, asking for a distribution contract. Up to that point, I'd sold 5 or 6 of them through an advert on the website. And that was over three
months time. Hardly a living. Total royalties from Crawford to date amount to less than $500. Hardly a living. To be frank, my so-called living is
based on Social Security Disability benefits.
My statements re Jaime Maussan's NASA UFO clips stand un-apologized for. They are not based on petty jealousy, nor frustration over his successful
career. They are based on my perception that he doesn't do his homework, or care about accuracy. Where, may I ask, are Jaime's years of experience
with manned space flight? In his presentation he declared that "the aliens are warning us that space is not ours!". I must ask you, how does he
KNOW this? What is his source of information to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what any alien intentions might be?
Finally, are you seriously telling me that the way to be humble and accepting is to keep my mouth shut and never question anything? Whew! Do you
know me personally, and well enough to unequivocally tell everyone here exactly what my reasons, feelings, desires, and intentions are? WHO is the
arrogant one here, sir.
BTW, Mr. Martyn Stubbs has called me on the phone several times over the past 7 years. We have an amicable acquaintance. I am no copycat. He does
things his way, and I mine.
STS-117 is scheduled to lift off in less than three hours time, so I have things to do now.
Take care, and may God Bless you and yours.
Kindest Regards, Jeff Challender
