Why would NASA even care about his claim if it was all made up?

athours of ` dead tree books ` do not write thier own blurb
This is possibly the Grandmother of all conspiracies - Namely the alien presence here on Earth and our governments (all major world governments probably) being in collaboration with the these beings and for reasons unknown the majority of "common" people are not being told.

What evidence there is other than a tacky site claiming and quoting another astronaut. How do I know he not just made this up to cash in?

I agree with you there. They denied him his retirement. So obviously he said something NASA didn't want him to.

Your logic does not follow. A) His employment history with NASA seems sketchy at best. From what I can tell, he only worked in NASA's direct employ for a handful of years--hardly enough to warrant a pension from them. The rest of the time he was working as a contractor. B) Even if he was denied a pension from them, that doesn't mean it was because of him knowing something they didn't want him to know.
Think about it: if you wanted to hush up somebody, would you take away their retirement, thereby further pissing them off? Or would you try to placate them and make them go away happy?

OMG this has got to be true because what ex employee would make stuff up.C'mon eight foot aliens...I wonder what will come next, twenty foot aliens spotted making tea in england with the queen? Hey if an old employee with a background in the military or government says it then it's got to be true. Remember Clinton did NOT have sexual relations with that woman and Bush FOUND weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
