Travis Walton posts here? Cool. Under what name, or is that top secret?

My friend wrote to him way back in 1970something. He got a nice reply.

Hallo from Scotland Mr Walton.

I wish Dan Aykroyd would post here.
He's got some first hand contact info about real men in black.
Also ... ghost hunting. (ghost research is a much better term!)
He's been at it a long time and I'd love to get some tips from a fella as well versed in it as him.

Apparently Nick Redfern posts here, because he responded to a post of mine a few weeks ago.

Jim Marrs has his own forum here, although he logs in very seldomly these days. I'm sure there are a ton of well known UFOlogists who lurk around here.

He posts under his actual name. Just search Travis Walton threads, and you should find him, he's a fairly recent member (and as far as staff can tell, he is who he claims to be). Of course, nobody can be 100% sure over the Internet, but we've vetted as well as possible, and are confident in this regard.

Note also, occasionally, we've had a celebrity post here and request the staff did not publicize their identity, and if such a request is made, we certainly honor it.

For all we know, Dan Akyroyd (or anyone else) could be posting here under any username, and we wouldn't know it unless he identified himself as such. While I respect the man, he does have some pretty out there beliefs though, if you've ever followed them.

Very few replies answer your question, they mostly vent about their pet peeves. Jim Oberg has been named but very few believers accept what he says because like everyone else he doesn't know any better than the average Joe on the street but when he zeroes in on something, you can take it to the bank.

Travis Walton has also been named and "verified" by the staff. As I've stated, ATS "verification" is meaningless since Travis Walton and truth is an oxymoron.

Richard Dolan has been named although I've never seen anything by him here and, besides, he is an expert only on researching what has already been archived. He is a believer, as he told me, of the Roswell fiasco.

To answer your question, there are no "big names" in UFOlogy or in ATS since there are no experts, just people who have become famous by publishing their dreck which is not evidence and whatever they report is someone else's tale.

John Lear, I forgot, use to hold court here but he is one of the weirdest people associated with UFOs and he doesn't know any more than you and I. But, boy, did the gullible ATS believers held him to be a god!

Facebook is a great way to stay in touch with Nick too. He often returns messages. Nice guy! Hey if you're on FB scrammers, let me know via u2u.

We've also had Michael Horn; the North American rep for Billy Meiers, and a few others.


LOL! Does he really count? He's just a charlatan making money off gullibility like his mentor Billy.

The only big names in Ufology are witnesses themselves. Some scientifically-minded people have sought to specialised in the subject ( but without any actual experience ) but their theories are not validated. Perhaps if they themselves have close encounters, they will start to formulate useful theories.

There are some heavy hitters surfing ATS believe that. Not only UFO Alien experts/public people , but many other high level individuals in there respected fields. There is a ton of brainpower here all the time.

Just had to kick this old thread. I met John Lear in person this past September in Las Vegas at a UFO lecture at the National Atomic Testing Museum. He was in line and he was wearing a tin foil hat that had a sticker that said "Official Tin Foil Hat" "John Lear Above Top Secret" He also had a FAA sectional that he drew on and showed where he thinks the underground tunnels around Vegas are located. He claimed that one of the tunnels went from the JANET terminal at McCarran to Area 51. Also the Luxor Hotel according to Lear, is a transit point for Area 51 employees to get on underground trains to the site.

Pro: Clifford Stone and I think Jim Marrs used to too.
Con: Jim Oberg although he's more a NASA spokesperson although he still gives me a run for my money when I post UFO-Space Shuttle threads. Right Mr O?

Jim Oberg does. He's obviously a hard core skeptic, but I like skeptics. They make you tighten up your arguments.


Where can i find some of Oberg's ATS stuff,


Just look under some of my UFO threads. We've been known to duke it out so badly that I expect Springer to sell tickets

I'm sure some lurk but, there has been no credible proof of a real alien craft so, there's no reason to post. I'm sure they just yawn and shrug at every single thread here. And when you refuse to apply the very basic principles of research or science to UFO claims, you are not a researcher...you are a UFO enthusiast who wants to believe that your claims are real, regardless of flaws or lack of evidence.

If the very basic logical questions from skeptic observers makes you curl into the fetal position and cry...and you have no evidence to support your claim....you ought not to present the claim without first acknowledging that it may be nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim....or wishful thinking.

Bottom line.

Robert Hastings, Travis Walton, G Valdez (not a big name but mentioned around the Dulce book), I heard John Lear had been banned from ATS. Explanation?

Anyway, the UFO topic is a topic of lots of secrecy, so the claim 'I did not see it, the documents that show it never became public, therefore it doesn't exist' is wrong. You cannot apply your empirical science to things that re secret and as such hidden from public, mixed with disinformation. The truth is, you cannot know what is true and what not.

Thanks for this thread. I knew ATS was frequented by these people... how could it not be? And as for chasing them off, I actually like the skeptical nature of this place and it was the top impression that was made on me my first day. If that means they go too hard sometimes and scare someone off/annoy someone, so be it.

Oberg is our resident liar. He gets paid to lie to us. Paid by the likes of NASA, NBC, etc.

"As I read through the various comments I see that Lance has asked for an 'apology'...which (if there is one) must come from the source of any error made.
That source is, as he knows, James Oberg. Oberg is a well-known space 'journalist' with professional ties to NASA who has been admired by Lance-like skeptics (such as Tim Printy) for a very long time.

It is Oberg who is the origin of the problem.

The inescapable fact is that it is Oberg who made the first public display on the net of the 'ladder boy' image- not me.
He did this three years ago on the ATS (Above Top Secret) forum. He deliberately dropped the "bombshell" photo of the boy on the ladder on an ATS forum apparently in a misguided effort to further the belief that Trent had hoaxed the UFO photos.

All Oberg would state when questioned by those on ATS was that LIFE 'bought the rights' to the 'ladder boy' photo.
Oberg did not attempt to clarify the image beyond saying that LIFE had to pay for it, indicating that they had 'acquired' it. He preferred to perpetuate a mystery about the 'ladder boy photo' by failing to say anything more about it- and then deleting the image on the site.

And I am not the first or only to fall for the Oberg misinformation:

As I mentioned in an earlier comment, other posters on other site forums (including this past July on Unexplained Mysteries) understood Oberg as meaning that the rights to the 'ladder boy' photo were acquired by LIFE (i.e. purchased) and not made by an employee of LIFE, leading one long-time poster to also conclude and state -when he reproduced the Oberg image of the boy on the ladder on Unexplained Mysteries- that they were from the same roll as the UFO photos.

And I will not embarrass 'researcher' and skeptic Joel Carpenter (who is Lance's associate) but to say that he privately sent to me an email earlier today that was laced with extreme vulgarities such as "f*** Oberg" and which was peppered with even more extreme obscenities to describe the Oberg I cannot repeat.
