Robert's book, The Truth About UFOs, has a chapter, "Where do UFOs come from". Would you care to discuss your thoughts on where they come from?

I wondered if Robert keeps up on recent attempts to construct sophisticated UFO detection and observation platforms, and if so, does he know the status of any such projects? The one example of recent memory that I remember is Christopher O'Brien's San Luis Valley project, but I think there have been other projects as well, including by someone associated with SCU. I also seem to remember that some small group planned to launch several micro satellites to try to get data during the limited time in orbit.

Also, I wondered if you have any knowledge of any data that the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) may have collected over the years?

Thanks.
 
By the way, listeners, Robert will be staying for this weekend's episode of After The Paracast; the podcast is an exclusive feature of The Paracast+.

So if you haven't signed up for The Paracast+, this will be a terrific time. Even better, we still have some of those coupon codes for a free copy of James Fox's UFO documentary, "The Phenomenon," for new 5-year or lifetime subscriptions. It includes three hours of extras.
