Bob Oechlar's Resignation
Bob Oechlar's Resignation
The following message was uploaded to the CompuServe New-Age Forum
Library:
As of September 1st 1994, I will be retiring from UFO research and
investigations. My tenure in UFO research has in some ways been very
rewarding, especially the many close friendships that I've developed and
enjoyed over the years. In many other ways the effects of my involvement
have been quite debilitating, especially to my family. I don't like what
I've seen this phenomenon do to otherwise concerned rational people,
including myself. The malicious libel, slanderdistortion and unchecked
fabrication that runs rampant in the UFO field is destructive and
counterproductive. My belief is that UFOs are indeed real and that the
management and spokespersons for ufology suffer greatly from egocentricity
and self-importance when the evidence is clear that few really care much
beyond the novelty. Therefore, I've decided to extricate myself from this
eternal abyss and return to the family life that I've sorely
neglected.
Myfinal effort over the course of the summer will be dedicated to writting
and publishing the truth of the matter regarding the guardian UFO Landing
investigation in the Carp area of Ontario, Canada. My archives and research
will be turned over to a private research institute where my work will
continue. the institute is dedicated solely to unmitigated acedemic
discourse and scientific research into UFO organizations, government nor
public media. The institute wishes to remain anonymous at this time. Anyone
interested in a synopsis of my research and the discoveries that I've made
over the years can contact Project Awarness for a copy of the video tape of
my farewell presentation. Their Address is PO Box 730, Gulf Breeze, Fl
32562. I do not share in the proceeds. After September 1st, I will not
accept any orders for UFO materials which I have made available to assist
in my research costs. For those of you who have maitained an interest in my
research efforts, I thank you sincerely for your support and encouragement.
It is because of you that I regret that this decision has become
necessary.
My final opinion is that there is no mystery to the UFO phenomenon, the
real mystery involves the sociology of how it affects and polorizes those
drawn to it. This may be the best reason for government secrecy. There is a
great need for comprehensive change in the attitude and management of the
current UFO organizational approach to UFO study if the subject matter is
ever to recieve and retain the attention of serious scientific
professionals. My final recommendation for those seriously interested in
the potential scope and possible origions of the UFO Phehomenon is to read
"Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku (1994 Oxford University Press, nonfiction).
Farewell all of my friends, colleagues and antagonists, good luck in all
your endevours.
