UFO Hooey

Louis Sheehan wrote on his blog (http://louis3j3sheehan.blogspot.com), "Back on the night of October 7, 1965, an event of historic proportions, a true landmark in UFO history, took place - the actual incursion over Edwards Air Force Base in the Palmdale/Lancaster area of California's Mojave Desert of a number of extraterrestrial craft. If this astonishing event is now, finally, gaining any measurable attention, it is a direct result of my efforts. I make that statement in all humility...it is simply the truth. "

So..."If anyone knows about this event, it's all my doing, and that's a FACT!" Wow. Talk about humility!
This one's a gem, too:

"From my calculations at least 40 hours of recordings were made (a five hour event recording from at least 8 locations). However, only six hours of tapes were de-classified many years ago as a mass of noise and unclear voices, which truly defied interpretation. They had SCRAMBLED the tapes into what they felt was a hopeless jumble of random pieces of conversation utterly out of sequence and logical progression. When I realized what had been done, it presented a challenge which made me determined to find out what was hidden within that chaotic mass of sound."

That implies that they were bored enough to jumble 40 hours of radio communication that naturally lends itself towards (CLICK!) periods of silence, static, and incomplete sentences. Pilot goes under cloud cover talking about something banal, loses contact. Listener hears static and immediately thinks `conspiracy!'


"After many months and countless hours of laborious research, cataloging, and editing the snips and pieces of the audio tape, I was able to organize the sound so the conversations could be understood. I had successfully restored the tapes to their original and correct sequencing. I then added carefully researched narration, which explained what was taking place, so that the listener would clearly understand the unfolding event."

Oh reeeaally? I can use the same techniques to make George Bush say he likes to play with his weiner.

"As narrator, I sought out Jackson Beck, the true dean of radio announcers and films commentators - the voice of the Paramount Newsreel, countless original Military films, and even the original narrator of the Superman radio program. Mr. Beck is now heard on many important new national radio and TV commercials. His voice is known to millions, even if his name is not. I felt he would add credibility to the narration of this astonishing historical event."

Actually, FACTS would add credibility to your "astonishing historical event." Adding a big time celeb to your production only adds to the artificiality.


After writing at length about his UFO documentary filming, he said, "Having that success, I felt we were on a roll and more real events would take place which we would cover, but they did not."

So..."real events"..."didn't happen"? Are you in some kind of cosmic time vacuum where history does not occur in any way, shape or form?
