48 REVELATIONS tions about Condor, Falcon, and their fantastic claims. We had to agree about the bottom line: no hard fact of a concrete nature supported any of the allegations. Even the information about alleged dead aliens reported many years ago by Leonard Stringfield has always remained of the nature of unsubstantiated, secondhand data. My friend turned away in disgust from the masses of material we had accumulated. "It's time to get tough with those turkeys," he commented wryly. WHO CAN HOLD THE COCONUT? Whether they came from such lofty birds as Condor and Falcon, or from more ordinary, down-to-earth turkeys, tantalizing clues have con- tinued to appear regularly since 1988.

When I returned to the United States in 1989, after a UFO meeting in Lyon, a meeting that had also been attended by Bill Moore, a curious rumor started spreading among some of my friends. They had heard that during my stay in France I had secretly met with a certain doctor who had performed autopsies on aliens. Naturally, they demanded to know the details. After laughing at the silliness of the rumor, I expected it to go away, as so many such stories do.

Now I was really intrigued, especially when I discovered that such a person did exist. So I telephoned Dr. Visse from California and I had an interesting conversation with him. Yes, he had once worked with American doctors. No, it was not in the United States. No, it had nothing to do with UFOs. Yes, he thought he knew the name Bill Moore. But he had never even heard of me. Yet somebody had pur- posely launched us on the track of this obscure French physician. Why?
