The books are coherent, yes, and most have indexes (although the references are placed within the text). Unfortunately, I can't be blamed for all the weird phenomena that was going on during and after the Mothman flap. Blame the ETs or the military, or some unknown ultraterrestrials, whichever belief you are inclined to believe. But it was NOT a barn owl that burned downed our grade school, car-bombed my dad's best friend, or stuck him with a needle in the middle of the night, to name a few.

Let me know the number of theories you are able to handle, and I will try to limit those in the future, as well as try to force radio hosts to comply.

I am actually more of a skeptic, probably more than most of you.

The JFK conspirators were in Pt. Pleasant. That much we know. But those who think this is outrageous are either slow or uninformed, and will probably remain so.

Good public speakers are often assholes. And a lot of them went through advanced training on how to fit into today's media culture, which is all about soundbites and empty thinking. And a lot of them are co-opted by the spooks. The leading lights in any field are the first ones they go after, and the leading lights are often keeping other, more controversial and truthful theories from seeing the light of day. A case in point is Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark. Clark keeps the lid on the cattle mutes, and Coleman keeps the lid on Mothman. They have actually managed to have me completely removed from the Mothman Wikipedia page. Where my reference used to be, there are now new references to both of them. They seem to "own" the editors at Wikipedia, and it is a sad state of affairs, because it results in a dumbing down of the field. Spooks + Dupes = Ufology Group.
I really, really enjoyed the show and I hope you have this guest back.
Mr Colvin brought up a lot of theories, did a lot of speculation, and suggested a lot of connections. It was fascinating. I don't need a "there isn't hard proof but I think it's possible" or a "some people believe" before every single statement regarding the anomolous. Mr Colvin didn't sound like the best public speaker to ever grace the radio, but did a pretty good job of being clear about when we was stating things as facts and when he was theorizing.

Oh Boy..
a fountain of information for sure, I guess. I will actually buy his book, just to see if it is as incoherent as the show/interview was . I realise I'm just a listener to a podcast here, but honestly...I think he covered every paranormal subject ever in that show, and...yeah well.
He sounded like a nice guy. (explosion)
So, do you think people like "specialists" more than multi-specialists - those who have a broader range of knowledge? If I confined myself to only one thing, then people would complain that it doesn't link up to other areas enough. You can't win with some people.
