I admire very much Kerry Cassidy, and one wonder why she was not mentioned on par with Linda Moulton How and Richard Dollan.

Kerry has many admirable qualities, and I've often referenced them on record.

But she doesn't have the same analytical and data-retention ability as Linda and Richard — or the others you mentioned. That's not an insult or a cheap poke. It's just the way it is.

The result of that is that Kerry has a vulnerability that she can be fooled by a claim, or by a situation or a person, which she's not best-equipped to understand or deeply figure out as well as some others in the field might be able to.

That's an interesting and candid observation Bill. But once a person is alerted to this aspect of their personality, surely they can address it, and not succumb to it time and again? Particularly as they are positioning themselves as investigative journalists.

PathWalker....I don't think anyone here is "downing" Kerry. We each have our own personality & are free to "follow" whom we wish.

For the very reason Bill stated above......... I, myself, quit paying close attention to her output. We have appreciated your occasional posting of her videos & hope you will continue to do so.

I would say that the meshing of their two distinct personalities is what caused them to skyrocket for a few years & get the ball rolling...for which we are all eternally thankful!!

I didn't see anyone recommend Robert L. Hastings , After more than 30 years of painstaking research Robert Hastings has written a large (600-page), meticulously documented study of the interactions of UFOs with nuclear weapons installations.

My late father worked for the Joint Chiefs and nuclear plans and policy for the USAF. He said a few years before he died, these encounters were real and worrisome to the USAF because they didn't know WTF they were. He worked on the 1964 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Good list

For me, Timothy Good. Needs no explanation. Just a shame that I came to his work so late in my life. Ah well - 'when the student is ready......' as the saying goes!

The collective mind of this forum is good enough for me, on UFOs.

I don't usually feel a need to look elswhere.

I'm confident that anything worth paying attention to will be brought here by someone or other in due time.

Ufology is a forum friendly issue and works well in this format. Politics and world crisis issues are not so forum friendly and for those kinds of things I broaden my hunting grounds.

Without indulging in personality attacks, I would say Kerry is also afflicted with 'Ego', she seems to want to be considered as an ultimate authority and to project the image of being an 'inside player'
People such as Richard Dolan, Linda Moulton have a more objective quality, they avoid the trap of this conceit - we are each afflicted with human failings, I am not claiming to be perfect, but this quality can be a liability for investigative journalism!
This forum is kind of unique in my opinion, it is difficult to manage such a variable community, but Avalon manages better than most!

Each to their own Mari! Above Top Secret to me is not a credible source.

Mike, Timothy Good's book Above Top Secret isn't the same as the forum of the same name, abovetopsecret.com. (Unless you means the book isn't a credible source, but that'd be a little hard to believe!)

David actually commented on "2012 never happened" in a video newly posted. I never believed in the 2012 prophesy but I think he has come up with a lot of interesting research, connecting some dots and since I'm heavily into synchronicity myself he's the only one taking these into account.

It is interesting in that voyager 1 went beyond the solar system's edge in late 2012. that 'humanity' really did escape the solar system in 2012.

So, in a way, it did...2012 did happen, in at least this one point and one way. The world did indeed change. We grew up enough to throw a ball past our own yard limit. Humanity exited the solar system.

After completing its primary mission with the flyby of Saturn on November 12, 1980, Voyager 1 became the third of five artificial objects to achieve the escape velocity that will allow them to leave the Solar System. On August 25, 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to cross the heliopause and enter the interstellar medium.[7]
