From the first, the UFO question has been shrouded in secrecy. Some blame the US government for this, and that isn’t wrong. But it is also true that whatever is behind this phenomenon is also extremely secretive and careful. However, a close examination of the phenomenon reveals that there has been a slow, steady process of accumulation of experience in our culture, that has led more and more people to believe that UFOs are somehow real.

I thought I would like to write a little bit about Dreamland. First, to thank everybody who listens. Second, to say that all the e-mail is really very welcome. But remember that we get about 5,000 e-mails a month, so we can’t answer everybody. Also, we are finding that e-mail is not instantaneous, so questions for the show are coming a little late sometimes.

Keith is working on this. He hopes to have a system up on the website that will enable something close to instant messaging. You’d think that we could use AOL Instant Messaging, but the problem is that each new message will pop up a new window on my computer in the studio, which will not work.
