Kimball of Contact - (for original, see: http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2008/04/kimball-of-contact.html)
I did a lengthy interview with Jeremy Vaeni last night for his next Culture of Contact podcast, which will be available Tuesday evening, April 15th, sometime around 8 pm EST (for CoC go to www.valiens.com).
If you're looking for serious discussion about the UFO phenomenon, it's probably not the show for you... although we get into that at the end a bit. Instead it's a Jim Moseley-style free-for-all about the good, the bad and the ugly in that fascinating subculture known as "ufology" (and sometimes, with good reason, "ufoology"). The general thrust from me was that the serious study of the UFO phenomenon is something completely different from the three-ringed circus that is "ufology", and that the study of each has merit, albeit for different reasons.
Topics covered include:
1. the Billy Meier hoax (and the ongoing antics of Michael Horn, his chief apologist);
2. the UFO Hunters television series, and why it's not really about UFOs;
3. the recent Alfred Lehmberg - Daniel Brenton feud (the WWE should really consider hiring Alfred as a writer - and I mean that as a compliment);
4. some ruminations on my friend the late Karl Pflock, and why he was one of the best - and most misunderstood - UFO researchers of the past twenty years;
5. a discussion of the contactee movement from the 1950s and 1960s; and
6. a recounting of my tete-a-tete with X-Conference orgaziner Stephen Bassett in the Aquarius Casino bar back in February while I was there for the International UFO Convention and Film Festival, and why I think Bassett means well but is doomed to failure.
All this, and news about Jeremy's new film project. It's a "not-to-be-missed" episode that is guaranteed to infuriate all sorts of people... and maybe even enlighten a few.

Yep. He sends me articles and stuff and was kind enough to review my next book. *teardrop* I'm not worthy!

Just swell. It's a fun interview. Unfortunately, as a result, Daniel Brenton has sworn me off as a friend, but the discussions in the comments thread are really good. Not that they are of equal value....
EDIT: Paul gives a nice plug to Department 47 and has nice things to say about some of you too!

Paul - as you know Jim Moseley is resolutely anti-technology, so I cobbled together a cell-phone configuration so he could hear highlights of your CoC apperance - specifically your recounting of your (near) battle royal with the "Exoplotical Assasin" (thought I'd throw in a WWE-type reference  ). Anyway, Jim enjoyed the podcast excerpts, I'll plan to do more of that in the future. Cheers!!

Jeremy,
From what I can tell of Brenton, no great loss. He is far too sensitive - he reminds me of a neurotic ex-girlfriend who, if she couldn't have it her way, would throw a hissy fit. Not the kind of person you want as a friend.
The comment thread is pretty good, too, although I was harsher than I meant to be about the O'Hare case.
Paul

Thanks - I'm a big fan of Jim's, and always enjoy chatting with him via phone.
