Google "John Lear Soul Capture" and you can get his stories on it.

It was later on, in the 2010's I think, when he started talking about that. Maybe 2012. Around the time he left ATS, within a year prior IIRC.

Loved hearing John speak.

Don’t know how much of it was true.

The man made me think.

For that I thank him.

He left in 2008.

I've spoken to John on quite a few occasions and have always found him to be a lovely guy.

Shame.

Rip.

Damn.

Im getting old.

I actually thought it was closer to the year you mentioned since I remember all the threads. But when I looked up I saw his last visit was in 2008. Time flew.

for anyone looking for any of Johns threads
there was a list made

yep, I recently came back to ATS and remember him well.

My condolences to his family and friends.

His ideas and posts did help in the growth of ATS.

Ron passed a few years ago. Im not sure him and John were still talking much.

They weren't, there was some kind of disagreement between them, maybe one year before Ron's death.

R.I.P John Lear.
You were a huge influence on my love for UFO and alien lore.
I will always remember your moon pics and the enthusiasm you had in revealing them to everyone.

As much as I was hoping this wasn't true John , may you rest in peace and if you decide not to... then please enjoy whatever new journeys you go on.

Here's some stuff you probably didn't know about John Lear.

He held 17 air speed records

He along with Bob Lazar and Gene Huff witnessed and videotaped a UFO in March 1989 on the outskirts of Area51

John is the only pilot to hold every FAA airplane certificate. As retired airline captain, with over 19,000 hours of flight-time, he's flown in over 100 different types of planes in 60 different countries around the world.


I shot some video (on a very poor-quality camera) of John Lear at the San Jose UFO Conference where he explains how he came across these huge negatives from NASA and how they ended up at ATS. Further on in the presentation he covers the areas of what he believes is some type of structure and bases on the moon.

John was never for a lack of words and was never... and I mean never, never boring. Oh yeau, he had a disdain for Kenny G music like no one I've ever met. He has an explanation on how he makes music which is hilarious (around the 7:30 second mark on the interview link below).

If you wish to listen to the ATSmix program where John talks to Dave and I (a pre-ramble if you like) and of course makes us laugh again, then click here.

May his soul rest in peace. Just loved the guy together with George Knapp and Lazar..

Had his soul been caught my the moons soul catchers.
