Halfway through the book. Fascinating ! Compelling and well presented cases accompanied by a deep frustration that an american reporter has to go overseas to get non-biased and balanced opinions about the UAP subject. An uncooperating air force and oppresive airline policies that squash any report of ufos by its employees forces a reflexion on the objective of suppression. The primary goal of an airline is to offer safe transportation within the limits of its capacities, which it does extremely well if you take a look at the statistics... Seems that they've calculated that hiding these rare events is less damaging to their business than coming out with world changing revelations that would obviously scare their clients away 8). UFO's are not part of their business plan, especially in tough economic times. The same reasoning applies to the air force whose missions can address earthly issues but is powerless against UAP's. An empire admitting powerlessless goes against its business plan. (Illusion more important than reality ?) IMHO, what differentiates the U.S. and U.K or France concerning the address of the UFO subject is scale, secularity and the homogeneity index. The U.S. harbours a variety of groups with strong religious belief (ex. evangelists, religious lobbyists), the presence of a 'bible belt' and a growing chasm between conservative and liberal values that become barriers to seriously addressing controversial religiously-incorrect subjects on a national scale. (Most noteable during the Bush years:frown Reading Leslie Keans book leads me to think that discussion or disclosure of information concerning the UAP subject in the context of that vast environment is infinitely more difficult than in more homogeneous liberal countries such as France, the U.K.... Chile, Brazil... etc. where it seems religious sensibilities are less flammable and whose aeronautical industries would be less impacted
That probably has to be factored in. It looks like Nick Redfern has a new book out that talks about this aspect of things calledd Final Events.
Makes sense !, if you want to sell a UFO book in the US and hope to make a bit of profit, you need a religious twist to it. UFO's from hell I will closely watch sale volume stats between Leslie Kean and Nick Redfern... should be very telling
