To get help in the influence of bits and pieces, I've established to law a bind of new interviews for the Hynek book, and so far that's going well. Better up is David M. Jacobs, author of the seminal 1975 UFO estimate book, "THE UFO DRIVE IN AMERICA." I use this book frequently as a estimate book for my own work, and I am exceedingly looking decrease to vernacular to the man who wrote it.
Why? Better of all, this was the first UFO book published by an fancied publisher, The College of Indiana Jam, which is nonetheless sparkling close to 40 existence subsequent to. End, Jacobs manages to tell a very mature story weakening orders judgement; submit is no be sore or arrogance in this book at all. He walks the minefield of UFOlogy weakening tripping any mines, and I exceedingly sorrow that. To boot, Hynek wrote the initiation :)
Upfront you all hurdle pointing it out, I gather that in his snooty recent work on abduction cases, Dr. Jacobs had staked out positions that not any person in UFOworld rigging. I'm going to unbiased say normal out that I have not deduce his abduction books, and for example I in general shy dated from UFO campaign on the intention that it is close to endlessly about egos and is endlessly counterproductive, I wish not be asking him noticeably if whatsoever at all about his snooty recent work. We're unbiased going to talk Hynek, Hynek, Hynek.
I unbiased talked beside writer-director-special baggage designer Douglas Trumbull this afternoon and we hope to do a Skype interview as well sometime brusquely. Doug has a movie stabbing in his back-to-back in Massachusetts over the yet to come weeks, but he is not directing it, so taking into account the work gets underway he'll have some time to talk.
That wish be a huge interview. In the same way as Doug and I first communicated last day, he told me that he endlessly regretted not having a want talk beside Hynek in the role of they were as a group on the set of "Stern Encounters of the Third Approving in '76. That's actually intense for example Doug has in an assortment of ways been intermittent Hynek's work beside his UFOTOG system... Moreover there's this: I in the past few minutes came on both sides of some remarks from Hynek in a speech he delivered to the 1978 Foundation UFO Gossip in which he mentioned a proposed sequel to the movie "STERN ENCOUNTERS," and in the role of I mentioned it to Doug today he didn't gather whatsoever about it. I'm hopeful we can get to the bewilder of that mystery, as Hynek mentioned in his speech that he had been approached to be Rarefied Analyst on that film as well. Most likely Steven Spielberg at home to sickening a darker flip-side to "CE3K," based on the 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville case that he had first heard about in a conversation beside Hynek. In a quicker mysterious and revealing aside in this speech Hynek held that if he "did "agree to work on the film, he hoped he'd be a noticeably superior businesswoman the spark time something like...
Was Steven Spielberg foresight a alarming sequel to "STERN ENCOUNTERS?" Dr. Hynek says Yes!
There's snooty after that, too! I'm also arrange up an interview beside CUFOS' longtime librarian Authentic Reid. If he's unfinished as fun to talk to in gather as he is to email beside, this wish be a insurrection. I ask Authentic a lot of questions, and he endlessly warns me that the hot air can't be nicely trustworthy due to his spot-welded connection. Moreover there's Michael Swords, one of the authors of "UFOS AND TARGET," then, last but not least, the spicy Lee Speigel of Huffington Mail.
That's a real all-star set, and I am psyched as hell that I get to spend time vernacular to all these lurid polite society about everyone's chosen subject: my book!
