There was a guest on Eerie radio recently, a ufo researcher named Bill Knell. He was awesome, both a highly informed and interesting guy. I recommend checking him out.
Bill Knell is
NOT a UFO researcher. He is a fake, a fraud, and an outright thief. He has never interviewed anybody that didn't already live in the Long Island area. He claims to run a non-profit group called Island Skywatch that is anything but--it's his meal ticket.
He's been stealing from researchers like Stanton T. Friedman and many others for forty years. The reason he sounds interesting is that he has copied their work. Ask Friedman what he thinks of Bill Knell.
Bill Knell is a writer, and a reader. Not necessarily in that order.
He's never written an original word in his life. He's never had an original
thought in his life. I have personal experience with Bill Knell. He was the very first speaker I booked to come speak at the KU UFO Network, which I founded.
He was booked for two days, a Saturday and Sunday. He canceled the first day on barely any notice. The second day, we had an auditorium filled with people that had each paid $10 to see him.
He had radio obligations to meet to promote the lecture, which he didn't. I had booked him on the Mike Murphy show, which was a legendary radio show in the Kansas City area that did a lot of UFO shows at the time.
He flaked out.
When it came time for him to speak at the lecture, he was nowhere to be found. I had called him and called him and called him all afternnon, with no luck.
Finally, about two minutes before he was supposed to go on stage, I reached his wife in Long Island, and she said he was snowed in in Denver (I could hear him in the background prompting her to say that).
Later, after refunding everyone's money and doing an impromptu lecture and question and answer session myself, with a friend of mine that was a UFO expert,
for free, I discovered that not only was the Denver airport not snowed in--but there was not a flake of snow on the ground. He had totally lied to me. But he didn't care. The guy has no scruples at all.
Bill Knell claims to have been part of the Montauk project, claims to have personally spotted bigfoot creatures on military bases, he makes up all kinds of bullshit, whatever will sell tickets to lectures and make money for "Island Skywatch".
The guy is a liar, a thief and a fraud. Thanks to Bill Knell, I lost so much money on that gig that I very nearly didn't put on UFO lectures at all. I did get over it, though, and went on to bring Stanton Friedman to town, and made up my losses from what was supposed to be Knell's lecture.
Now, he writes "free" articles and posts them on his web site, for any and all to spread around. As long as they credit him. This guy makes more money on AdWords than anyone else in the world.
The guy is a scumbag and a slimeball. He has NO ethics or scruples. He's a liar, a thief--and if he's a UFO researcher, then I'm the Queen of England.
He thinks that Bob Lazar and Billy Meier are absolute proof that we're being visited. He's been talking about them for thirty years.
According to the Coast web site, "During a lunch he had with Cronkite, the veteran newsman told him he witnessed a UFO shoot a blue beam at a missile in the 1950's. The military claimed it was a test to see how the media would react to a UFO event, but Cronkite and other reporters there didn't buy this explanation, Knell recounted."
What a steaming load of
bullshit. If Knell ever had lunch with Walter Cronkite, I'm a platypus. And how come Cronkite never told anybody about it but Bill Knell?
Ask Don Ecker. Ask Bill Birnes. Ask anyone in the UFO community that has a reputation to lose. They will tell you that Bill Knell is a
fraud.
