Welcome

The spectre of Gary McKinnon raised its head again a few weeks back. In case

you don’t know who he is, he is an English computer hacker who managed to

crash into the Pentagon system and saw all sorts of things that he wasn't meant

to see. While he would acknowledge that with hindsight, it wasn't the brightest

thing to do, he was spurred on to do it by a desire to discover what the American

government knew about UFO's. And although he didn't find out anything specific

to that subject, he did come across one or two interesting things like for example

the fact that the American military has “non terrestrial officers”, which strongly

implies that there is something else permanently moored "up there" besides the

Space Station.

The Americans of course want to extradite him from the UK and have classified

him in such a manner that if tried and convicted, he would go away to prison for

a very long time indeed. And while some of you many mutter under your breath

after having read that last sentence, "And why not?" I would remind you that

Gary was not working for any foreign government or intent on any espionage

against the United States. He was just trying to find out "UFO secrets", a naive

thing to do indeed but hardly worthy of a life sentence in an American jail.

Recklessness in the pursuit of UFO information is a theme of this issue of Review .

It is something that comes up time and time again in our main featured interview

with Nick Redfern and inevitably, at least on our part, there is a certain amount of

sympathy towards Gary McKinnon even if another part of me can't help thinking

that he was a bit of a plonker. There is a certain amount of antipathy towards so

called "direct action" within ufology on the part of some based mainly on the

belief that it brings the subject into disrepute and attracts bad publicity. You

pays your money and makes your choice. You can slave away doing everything

legitimately for years and almost certainly make relatively little or slow progress

or you can say, "Stuff that" and try and go directly to the source. Doing it that

way, you may hit pay dirt or you may get caught and if you get caught then there

is usually some sort of mess afterwards.

As fundamentally I am a coward, I admire the activities of those much braver

than me and would give them every encouragement. To an extent, people like

Gary McKinnon and Matthew Bevan, who you will read about later, do our dirty

work and I feel that to an extent we are in their debt even though I know there

are some of you reading this who will not agree with me on that point. I wish

Gary every success in fighting his extradition and believe that the combination of

British justice and a desire on the part of the American intelligence community

not to see their dirty washing laundered in public may swing things in his favour.

You may notice that the two principal interviews in this issue of UFO Review are

with authors who both have books published by Anomalist Books. The owner of

the company, Patrick Huyghe, refuses pointblank to pay me any money for

promoting his starlets in this manner which I think is pretty tight. Nevertheless,

Anomalist Books seems to be an exciting new venture into the world of publishing

as its focus is most definitely on "our" subject. They employ the "print on

demand" technology which in some quarters is heavily criticised as not being

"proper publishing". Proper publishing of course means guessing in advance how

many copies the book is likely to sell and hoping that you get it right. And when

"they" get it wrong we all benefit as their overruns end up in the bargain

basement basket selling at a third of the original price. Seems like this isn't

something that is going to happen to Anomalist Books. I wish Patrick and his

staff all the best.

Ufologists

Interview with author Nick Redfern

Dr. Nick Redfern (courtesy Billy Booth at About.Com. see:

http://ufos.about.com/b/a/245119.htm ) has been very prolific lately, what with

Body Snatchers upsetting one or two folk last year, and now Saucer Spies set to

do it all over again. What’s going to upset them about this? Well, if you’ve missed

all the prepublication publicity about this book then you are about to find out that
