a number of times in the past, by several people (and also by laPaz) that
I am merely a part of a super- smoke screen and so is FTD and Wright Field,
and that the whole Project Bluebook is a grand coverup for something the
government does not want discussed. Best way to give a lie to this, of
course, is to point out that if this were the case, t he U. S. government
should also have been responsible for the sightings in France, Brazil, .

burns . Unfortunately, I do not have interplanetary Blue Cross coverage!
