Thanks. Yes, Major Donald E. Keyhoe was a pulp fiction writer before he became a famous flying saucer book author.

That background explains his breezy style with his presumably fact books.

Says it al about Donald Keyhole.
L Ron Hubbard was of a similar vein but he Just made more money than Donald Keyhole

 

[Gene Steinberg]

An understatement.

 

[Trajanus]

I don't think making money was Keyhoe's only purpose...

 

[Gene Steinberg]

I don't either. I met him a few times and he was certainly serious in his pursuit of flying saucer disclosure.

Seemed that way but some time ago a website said he was a disinfo agent.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

I don't see that. I realize it was claimed due to the heavy military presence on the Board of Governors of his UFO group, NICAP.

Probably his handlers, and those who ensured NICAP was "tame."

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Possibly, but Keyhoe's own writings show the limits to his advocacy. I recall an article from an APRO newsletter asking how close Keyhoe will allow a UFO to get, particularly in connection with reported abductions.
