Paranormal Adept
I wish I''d noticed Jim was going to be a guest, so I could have sent in some questions. Several "fakers" Jim discussed were mentioned in a book I just read, Curtis Peebles' Watch the Skies. Here's quotes on a couple of others, both related to the Aztec hoax:
George T. Koehler (Promoted Silas Newton's saucer lecture)
"Cahn also checked on George T. Koehler who had been with Newton at the lecture. Cahn caught him in several lies, including that he had been a football player with the Chicago Bears."
Leo A. GeBauer
"A Better Business Bureau investigation uncovered some inconsistencies in GeBauer's background. Instead of degrees from Armour Institute, Creighton University, and the University of Berlin, he now claimed only an electrical engineering degree from Louis Institute of Technology. In Scully's book, he was described as having led 1700 scientists doing some 35000 experiments, costing $1 billion in top secret magnetic research. GeBauer now said he had only been Chief of Laboratories at the AiResearch Company — in fact he had only been a maintenance man."
Also, I can't remember if you guys talked about Bob Lazar, but he's another academic faker that was in Peebles' book too.
Great to hear from Jim Moseley, and congratulations to him for that big 80th birthday!
