highlighted on the cue card for her to use on the supposedly "LIVE!"
Mike Farrell show was, "Oh, he's so ugly." When my students heard this,
they giggled! They took it to be comical.
Neither my students nor the majority of the viewing audience took the
UFO COVER-UP! . . . LIVE! program seriously. That is why there was
no audience response. One of my students said he thought, "The man portraying
the Russian couldn't have been a real Russian, because he spoke
English too well." No doubt he was trying to account for why the show
did not have the ring of truth to it.
The question remains: were the producers of the show, whoever they
really are, pleased that their show was a "flop," in that few viewers took
the reality of alien-human contact (or invasion) seriously Or were they
disappointed by the lack of audience response What, indeed, was the real
purpose of this carefully staged show
The format in which UFO COVER-UP ... LIVE! was presented tranquilized
the general public, as did the movies E.T. and Close Encounters
of the Third Kind, in the comfortable belief that there is absolutely nothing
to worry about, as far as any reports of alleged "aliens" are concerned.
As Dr. Mundy has pointed out, this comfortable belief system—so
assiduously maintained by the authorities through their constant insistence
on relegating the subject of alien intervention in human affairs to the
realm of media trivia—relies for its support on some very thin ice indeed.
This ice is so thin that it can be shattered by featherweight random
events, such as the arrival in my mailbox of a letter from Rev. John E.
Schroeder of the UFO Study Group of Greater St. Louis, saying:
You mentioned William Moore's TV program hosted by Mike Farrell. Is
it any surprise that the November 1989 issue of prestigious Millimeter
magazine for film and TV producers listed the CIA as paying producer
for that show I wonder what happened to the response requests Who
effectively collected whose paying phone numbers Why How are they
to be used Was any data ever given congressional members The plot
thickens!
The plot does indeed thicken. A search of the November 1989 issue of
Millimeter magazine did not locate the item which Rev. Schroeder is nevertheless
sure that he and his wife saw in Millimeter, though he may have
been mistaken as to the issue. This does not necessarily mean that the item
does not exist, but as we go to press the question remains unresolved. In
spite of this uncertainty, the item seems worth retaining, because both the
possibility and the questions raised by Rev. Schroeder remain relevant,
even if neither confirmed nor invalidated.
The ability to face phenomena of high strangeness with an open mind
