Welcome, Dr. Alexander. Thanks for taking the time to be here.
From a sociology/anthropology standpoint, do you feel that many (obviously not all) people who ascribe to conspiracy theories do so out of a "victim mentality" -- i.e., the need for some people to blame forces that are out of their control (such as a big bad shadow government) for what they perceive to be a life unfulfilled?

Hi John
Thankyou for your time and responses.
Question:
What have you seen/experienced that convinces you that we are being visited by ET/ID's?
Who are they?
thankyou
Have no idea. Believe the ETH is too simple and does not match observations. I can't answer whom where, or why - and they may be the wrong questions.

Ok....I do have a question based on your OP here. You are extremely well educated/traveled/experienced in multiple areas. The greatest of which appears to be militarily. You stated you contributed to a book on biological warfare. In your opinion, what is the greatest threat to the human race (from a biological warfare standpoint), what are the implications of such a threat, how likely is that threat to occur and what nations would be capable of releasing such a weapon?

To the best of your knowledge have we been visited by ET , have you seen any evidence that would suggest that an off world intelligence has ever visited this planet .
Thanks

Regarding your statement about seeing strange things. What is the most unusual experience you have ever encountered? Thank you for your time, and response.edit on 30-9-2013 by Broom because: (no reason given)
That would be hard to say as I have had many unusual experiences. Twice in Mongolia we had things just show up physically that have no explanation.

Good question. Of course the greatest threat to mankind is humans. More to your point, the old Soviet program had a mix and match capability. That is, they could develop cocktails with several different agents. With more than 50 to choose from, there would be no viable protection. Read Ken Alibek - was was the deputy director of the program. On my web site under articles you can find and download an entire book on the future of BW.

"Taught metal bending" Whoa....what? Please explain how this can work and also how you taught it. I am a fan of people like Andrija Puharich who of course brought Uri Geller to the states and the limelight with his ability to bend metal...sometimes. Also of Tom Bearden who I have only heard briefly discuss this ability and mentions that when you get both sides of the brain hemispheres to create an area of interference, don't ask me how you do that; you get strange effects...scalar interferometry, do you know anything about this line of thinking/physics?
Again, I come down against the ETH as it is too simple.

First of all... Welcome to our mad little house. Hope you enjoy your stay.
Second...an observation/comment. I did not know reindeer lived in Mongolia. Cool. Learn something new everyday...
Now my question.
In your various investigations of the paranormal, specifically shamans, and other mystic sorts, what percentage do you think are actually legit, or conversely, frauds.
This should be a fascinating thread. Again, welcome.

Hi John,
I am curious to what extent you participated in MASINT/ARGUS related operations, and whether you are aware if data fusion systems were ever crossed over to look at the UFO problem. I understand you can't talk about intelligence systems in detail. However I would appreciate if you could address whether you know of any automated tracking system like Hessdalen, Project Pennine, or UFO Capture in use (past or present) by the DoD to try and grab multiple source inputs to better figure out what people are seeing.
Also, assuming there is such a system, I am curious if this may have factored into the decision to close Blue Book? I know MCIAXO-3 and the other UFO projects were run on a shoestring budget. So I am not optimistic. It would just be nice to think the intelligence community used all the assets at its disposal. Any information you're willing to share will be immensely helpful as I move forward with a project I've been developing since 2009'ish (you might find it interesting).
Finally, with regards to,
My book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, is based on an ad hoc group I formed decades ago to study the topic.
Was that related to the DIA project Howard Blum spoke about in "Out There?" Even if you didn't participate in that project, I would be curious if you could perhaps fill in some holes.
Thanks for joining us here John! You are about the only sane voice left talking about UFOs,

Hello Mr. Alexander and welcome i only have one question if UFOs are real and extraterrestrial in nature why would the government keep denying that anything is going on especially when it involves our airspace and also injury to the citizens Cash-Landrum case.If that wasn't a UFO that caused radiation sickness in Betty Cash then it was a secret military craft that of course the Air Force isn't going to owned up to and deny anything even when Betty went to them and asked for answers.I think it is cowardly of our government to withhold information
