178 REVELATIONS Hangar 18 and to expose Majestic 12 as a cheap hoax, because there is much more. Not only is there an amazing willingness in the human mind to invest credence and faith in unproven facts, but there is more evil, more readiness than ever on the part of various sophisticated groups, to use this human weakness as a tool in controlling others. Someone who worked for the public relations branch of the Air Force dangled the carrot of extraterrestrial proof before Emenegger in 1974. The same carrot was dangled before reporter Linda Howe. Curi- ously, the man who offered this opportunity to her worked for the same branch of the Air Force and was closely associated with Bill Moore, a UFO researcher who has stated that he had been recruited by Air Force Intelligence as an informer. The same game was played for Hynek and for me in 1985. The result of Linda Howe's acceptance of the bait was the sinking of her UFO documentary. Her serious work on such topics as cattle mutilations was also partially and unjustly discredited. And Doty's so- called proof—the Majestic 12 revelation—spliced into the credulous channel of UFO believers by Bill Moore who had previously established his credentials by publishing (under Charles Berlitz's auspices as co- author) a book about the Roswell mystery that claimed it proved extra- terrestrial intervention. It is very curious to find that a similar scenario unfolded in England at the same time. Researcher Jenny Randies told me that she was discreetly approached to leak out certain revelations about the alleged alien presence on earth. Like Allen Hynek and me, she refused to do it unless she could check the facts and identify the source. As a result, she was dropped and another channel was found—the much less de- manding Timothy Good, who rushed into print with the information in a book entitled Beyond Top Secret, which supported the Majestic 12 deception without any critical analysis, claiming that the governments of several nations were now cooperating with the aliens. Another step in the effort to confuse the public and to destabilize serious research into UFOs was taken when John Lear came into con- tact with the claims of Paul Bennewitz. I have explained how this
