‘ALIEN INTERVIEW’ by Lawrence Spencer
Unfortunately, this book is a hoax. This is definitive.
Lawrence Spencer is careful (presumably for legal reasons) to
offer the written disclaimer that Alien Interview should be
regarded as a work of fiction, but it does the UFO community
(and the Scientology community - see below) no favors when
Spencer maintained on subsequent radio talk shows, some with
sizeable audiences, that the purported "interview" really
happened. It did not.
Conveniently, the claimed source, "Matilda MacElroy" is
"deceased" - and Spencer "destroyed all the original
documentation". So we'll just have to take his word for it... and
his word, publicly stated, is that he is portraying real events.
Sadly, his word is not very honorable, and he is lying. I don't
often deploy that unpleasant word, but here its use is accurate
and fair.
Any Scientologist with any experience (and I am one) will
instantly recognize the very large number of terms and concepts
directly borrowed from (and sourced by) L. Ron Hubbard.
These are literally too numerous to list, starting right at the start
with "doll bodies", "what's true is what's true for you", "If you
were looking for Hell, the Earth would suffice", liberal use of the
term "Space Opera", the concept that the Earth is a prison planet,
and much, much, much else. Find any friendly Scientologist and
they will be pleased and intrigued to go through the book line by
line with you. There's a smoking gun on almost every page.
Spencer has maybe made an unfortunate judgment, and written
an interesting work of fiction (and don't get me wrong here:
many of the metaphysical concepts, formulated by Hubbard, may
be valuable and have a great deal of truth to them) - but has
then fallen into the trap of using his idea of journalistic license to
portray the concepts in the framework of a "true story".

This does not help genuine UFO research one iota, and further
confuses the complex Roswell issue - in which real, elderly
witnesses, with great courage at the end of their lives, have come
forward to tell their very real stories. Spencer discredits and
dishonors these fine people by what he has done. This is my
issue.
Almost as an afternote: there are many other problems with the
book - many of which are already cited by other reviewers. Use of
the terms "carbon dating", "computer", "database", "alien" (the
Roswell survivor was called an EBE, or Extraterrestrial Biological
Entity), MacElroy being a "Senior Master Sergeant" - and more -
are all anachronisms: the words or terms did not exist in 1947,
and show clearly that this is recent writing. The date stamp is
also wrong: the author uses the English notation of 9.7.1947 for
9 July 1947... a little slip, written by Spencer, who although
American is very familiar with England.
The final nail in the coffin is this e-mail, written by Spencer
himself in 2000:
**********
From: Lawrence Spencer
Sent: 07 November 2000 02:12
To: Graham Hancock
Subject: Your victory
Dear Graham,
Congratulations to you and Robert on your victory regarding
the BBC attack! Well Done! I commend you on your courage
and persistence.
I am the author of "The Oz Factors" (I sent both yourself and
Robert a copy of my book last spring), so I certainly do have
some first hand knowledge how the mainstream academic
vested interests operate to suppress the truth. My book
3
discusses this subject as one of the 12 "Oz Factors" which
prevent our civilization from discovering answers to the
mysteries of our existence.
I have been a Scientologist for 31 years. A good deal of my
book is an application of the principles of L. Ron Hubbard as
regards the fields of study into which you and Robert have so
bravely advanced. Perhaps the material in my book will be of
assistance to you at some point in your research.
Keep up the good fight!
Very Best Regards,
Lawrence R. Spencer
author of "The Oz Factors"
**********
Read this book as the metaphysically fascinating work of fiction
that it is. Spencer's post-publication behavior, however, elevates
this "fiction" to the level of a dishonorable hoax, for which he
should be ashamed. He could have handled this much, much
better.
I am a UFO researcher myself. If you want the truth, there are
many other places to find it. And if Spencer wants to contact me,
he can through the Project Camelot website which I run with my
colleague Kerry Cassidy. I would be interested to know privately
what possessed him to go so far and to paint himself into such a
corner, from which escape is now almost impossible without him
continuing to deceive his readers.

Though I could Google said interview, the address bar is all the way up there, and I'm a little lazy. A source citation if you would be so kind? Kk thnx.
The story basically says that the planet earth is a dumping ground for aliens and that they desire no contact with us and that they do everything they can to make sure that thier ships are cloaked so that we cannot see them. The only reason they come here is for our resources, which is wierd because of all the so-called millions of planets in thier domain we are the only ones with these things. Oh yeah we are basically meat bags with souls that are considered undesirable to other species in this domain.

What is not garbage is the Sumerian texts about the solar system and Anunnaki bio-engineering humans.

Please note that Spencer gives this book away for free. He does not charge for it, so the motive of doing this on his part is not financial...
Then, you get into the whole Scientology mythos being spouted here, and with the author a devout member of the "church"

Perhaps he was influenced into changing his story.
