MAJESTIC 12 49 When I told the story of these repeated teasers to one of my scientific colleagues, physicist Edwin May, he sighed and said he understood my frustration. "It's like my experiences researching parapsychology in India," he said with a shrug. "People would tell me that if I went to a monastery two hours outside Benares, I would find an amazing wise man who could materialize an object inside a coconut as I was holding it. They did not expect me to actually do it. So I would buy a coconut at the local market and like a stubborn American scientist I would hire a driver and I would go two hours away from Benares, and sure enough, there was a monastery full of wise monks and they would direct me to an especially holy man who was meditating in his hot little dusty cell. Yes, he said, he could materialize a physical object inside my coconut by the sheer force of his spirit, but what made me think that I could hold the coconut?" In the business of MJ-12, Condor, Falcon, and the Aviary, there is no information, no document, no evidence that does not come from a source that is either a suspected forger or someone closely associated with governmental disinformation. In every case the hoaxers are firmly in control of the coconut. And we are left holding the bag.
