The biggest thing we're lacking now is proper sales/marketing help for the show. There are just so many hats I can wear and still do justice to each job. I've had an open offer for a sales and marketing person for a long time. One or two have offered, but quit early on. Selling is hard, and you have to be persistent and not expect quick profits.
Remember that the network doesn't pay us for their ads, and we don't share in local station income either. Other than the rare donation, our only source of income from the show is advertising. We get three minutes per hour (based on a three hour show when broadcast with news breaks), which offers plenty of openings for new advertisers, and a reasonable income opportunity for someone who wants to work at a generous commission.
I hope everyone will excuse my lack of finesse. I'm new to forums in general. I'm Bill Modlin from Hendersonville, NC. VERY recent member. I've been listening with great interest and it seems a constant thread of conversation on the shows of late is the lamentation, especially on Chris's part, of the lack of novelty in the presentations at conferences. Indeed, this is something that permeates ufology in general. Endlessly revisiting old cases, and simply investigating and cataloging new ones has gotten us little. I think it's time we started hunting them down.
I have thought for some time the way forward is through what I call ( and I'm sure I'm not the first and only) observation through technical means. For example, many of the videos from the shuttles and the ISS that showed anomalous objects showed these objects not at the level of the orbiting vehicles ( LEO, approx 200-250 miles) but much lower, in the very upper atmosphere. If junior high kids can go there with Sponge Bob, it seems to me we can go there at night with a night vision camera. At 100,000 feet there should be nothing just flitting around. If there is, now you've got something.
And while this could easily become another opportunity for cretins like the Brothers El Jerko, it's relative ease and expense of replication ( I figure $500, unless it all ends up at the bottom of a lake) is enough of a window of affordability that it would in a sense be democratized. ( Bobby, whats your science project? ) And a little further up the food chain, Peter Davenport has written a rather interesting paper on passive radar. Seems there's a string of transmitters across the south called The Fence. Ostensibly this is used to track space junk out to 30,000 miles.
A bit far for that, don't you think? Perhaps some receivers could be cobbled together to use these or other signals ( clear channel radio stations ) for their unintended ( or maybe not ) purpose. Once results are achieved, if one starts on the bottom rung of academia and you work your way up, it may very well be possible to eventually woo someone like Kaku, Musgrave of even Tyson who not only have impeccable scientific backgrounds, but also a familiarity in the public arena. PS Went to Greensboro symposium. Totally reignited my interest. Solid reality, no nonsense except for this scruffy English chap. His tall tales were not Good.
Ford may not be such a good example. I watched a show that portrayed him as a rather ruthless authoritarian corporate fascist bent on maintaining personal ownership and control of his private empire. That's not to say he didn't accomplish things or wasn't an innovator. Just that accomplishment and innovation can take place under a different system.We must at some point, even on as grand a scale as a planet, move on. Did Henry Ford fret over the fate of the blacksmiths?
I guess that this question revolves primarily around what the "secret" actually is. Is it an alien craft and occupants in the possession of the military? Is it governmental infiltration by alien agents? Is it gun camera footage, radar records and other types of detection data? Is it eyewitness accounts by military and government personnel? Hard evidence isn't something people can easily walk out of secure areas with, especially if it's the size of an alien craft. Films and records are probably locked up inside layers of secured areas, possibly even in vaults. Assuming they exist, I don't think it's reasonable to think that thousands of people have known with certainty that they are there, let alone have had access to them.A secret of this sort would involve thousands of people. Even if they are compartmentalized and only know a small part of the picture, you are dealing with over six decades and thousands and thousands of people. The chances that nobody will come forth and spill the beans are slim to none. Somewhere along the line, you would have seen a credible whistle blower without enough facts to blow it wide open. I don't mean Philip Corso; I mean credible.
