| You're not talking about "Coast to Coast" with George Noory, are you? The guy who replaced Art Bell? |

Whitley Strieber claims to have been repeatedly kidnapped and probed by aliens. He wrote a book called "Communion, A True Story" about it. In fact, I think he sort of jump started the whole alien abduction thing. He also wrote "Wolfen" but does not claim that to be anything but fiction.
It was Whitley Strieber who claimed that an alien spacecraft was following the Hale-Bopp comet. He made that claim on the Art Bell show. Based on that claim, 38 people, crazier than Strieber, of the Heavens Gate Cult committed suicide because they believed that they needed to "shed their containers" to meet and enter the spacecraft and be taken to the Kingdom of God.
I would not be at all surprised to hear he has his own radio show now.... |

Hi Kil,
Thats interesting about Whitley Strieber and his claims , and the subsequent suicides of the Heavens Gate Cult. It just goes to show that making claims without coming up with 100% proof can be very dangerous. Do you think Mr Streiber has any consciense about this?
Whilst on the subject of making claims, I just wonder about the claims of Bush and Blair who state that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, and yet the inspectors have failed to bring, as yet, evidence to bear to substantiate those claims. Not even some other members of the UN are satisfied.
Say their claims remain unproven and they still wage war on Saddam (which appears to be what is going to happen, concret evidence of these weapos or not) , I wonder whether Bush and Blair will let the subsequent deaths of hundreds , possibly thousands , rest heavily on their consciense?

I believe it was Chuck Shramek who made those outrageous claims on Coast-to-Coast. Strieber simply helped it along by putting images on his site.
Oooops. I stand corrected... |
