Hi mister Redfern, how are you?
I have three questions for you, I hope you will answer them.
Thanks in advance.

I always has read your very interesting articles in the once existed British UFO Magazine of Graham and Mark Birdsall, and has in my possession your well written book The FBI Files.

My first question is,

What let you decide to let go the original story of the UFO crash and started to write the book “Body Snatchers In The Desert”: The Horrible Truth at the Heart of the Roswell Story.
Personally, I never have understand that, and I was convinced that you make by writing that book a terrible mistake.

My second question is,
Are you still convinced that you made the right decision then to write that book?

My third question is,
When you had the chance to meet with an Alien, would you do that?

Hello Mr Redfern

On a recent ATS Mix show, the guest was Robert Morningstar, Associate Editor of UFO Digest, a gentleman I am sure you are familiar with.

He talked at length about the 'Black Triangles', starting off with the famous Belgium sighting and moving sequentially up to the present date.

He talked about a 'paradigm shift' in terms of the growing acceptance from the authorities that the sightings could no longer be 'held back' and disregarded. Dave and Johnny, I'm sure you can help elaborate further, I was listening late at night, at work, killing a few brain cells trying to meet a deadline for an early morning meeting with some clients who hate their jobs, their life, and probably their lunch too.

I personally am not sure that any form of disclosure will happen, but do you yourself believe that there is currently a 'paradigm shift' in terms of information being released, and perhaps because of that, a 'paradigm shift' in terms of people coming forward with less fear of judgment and ridicule.

Mr Redfern, I'm look forward to hearing your reply.

Righto, carry on, Dave and Johnny, you're both great Australians.
