Some months ago, I wrote a positive review of Laura's book, High Strangness. When I wrote it, I knew it would bother some of my previous readers. Throughout all of my research into the UFO phenomenon and its related aspects, I have striven to maintain as much detachment and objectivity as possible. As anyone involved in this field knows, that isn't always easy, but it must always be the goal. I continue to strive for that goal to this day.
The intensity of reactions of that review was greater than I expected, although realistically I should not have been surprised. What I said then, and what I say now, is that having known Laura, I see her as honest and undeluded. I cannot say, and have never stated, that the scenario she has discussed in her writings is definitely true. What I do say is that I look at it as a valid working hypothesis.
It is important for us to distinguish what we know to be true from certain things that may be true. I do not know that Laura's work regarding the so-called Casseopians is true, but I continue to hold it out as a possibility, or as a possible aspect to the greater truth. The fact that her material has been "channeled" is problematic for many, I understand that. But my own investigation into such phenomenon as remote viewing have persuaded me that there are legitimate examples of such unconventional insights.
I would like to add that any personal assessments of her work, or the work of anyone else for that matter, are separate matters from the historical work I have just completed: UFOs and the National Security State, The Coverup Exposed, 1973 to 1991. This book fully continues the path I set out on when I finished the first volume. It is as careful a historical analysis as I could bring to the topic, and I am looking forward to seeing it in print very soon.
Opinions are opinions. Facts are facts. While I personally support Laura and believe she is honest, I cannot and will not state that I know her scenario to be true. We cannot know this. What we can do is to keep all possibilities in mind with something as radical as the UFO reality.
