I found this at Cryptogon, but here is the original article:

This struck me from that article:
He said: "There's not much question at all that there's life throughout the universe, we are not alone at all.
I'm sure this is true, but it's also clear that we don't have any evidence that this life has evolved past a microbe level anywhere else, I expect it has, but whether it has evolved to the stage where it can debate issues such as this isn't known. Furthermore the problems associated with travel between star systems are so great that I can't really see how this could ever be possible in the near or medium future -- close to light speed travel isn't a trivial issue...

Messengers of Deception: Ufo Contacts and Cults by Jacques Vallee
I might just do that, but I have so many other unread books... One bit of a review of Messengers of Deception on that Amazon page struck me as interesting:
The History Channel, the Discovery Channel, and the National Geographic Channel... have influentially been promoting the idea that UFOs are either 'space craft from other planets, or simply nonexistent' for ten years
I think it's well over 10 years now and when these shows first started up I couldn't understand why so many resources were being devoted to this subject... I didn't give it all that much thought at the time, just dismissing it as more crap TV... But now the idea that these are two falsely counterposed, fabricated alternatives does make some sense...

Interesting, I haven't heard of Dave Emory before... The web page for the the latest of the above two shows is here:
