I am rather concerned that there seems to be a very
determined effort by British Ufologists to not share their files on CE3K/AE
cases.
The point of the archive is to have a central repository of
these cases for use in scientific and technical research. It is very important that there is an archive
that exists so that vital evidence is not missed or lost.
From 1977-2013 and my ‘official’ retirement I acted as a
consultant to UK Police Forces on exotic fauna and that work is still
sporadically coming my way. In over 40 years I have never breached
confidentiality or agreements and have been privy to a lot of material that was
quite sensitive and on several occasions I was offered large payments by three UK
tabloids. Money I really could do with
but never even considered the offers because I had given my word and as far as
I am concerned confidential is confidential.
The whole reason why police forces and other bodies used me as a
consultant was that I also treated witnesses/observers details as never to be revealed.
The same thing applies to the UFO side of things. I could quite honestly make money from
selling stories to the press or writing books about those I dealt with over the
years (1974 to present) and what I have seen.
Money does not come into this because of confidentiality, witness
anonymity and if I were in this for the money then I will never make back the
thousands I have spent over the years.
“Confidentiality” is not an excuse for not cooperating. Copies of an ufologist’s
files are not going to be sent out at a whim to anyone who
asks; that is not how this will work.
The data in the archive is to be used to analyse and look for trends or
factors not already noted and be categorised.
The archive will also be a file back-up for the ufologist in the event
he/she loses their work somehow.
The CE3K/AE Catalogue for the UK needs to be up-dated and made as
comprehensive as possible because there is no central depository and there seems
to be friction between some existing groups and investigators; my position is one
of complete neutrality. I am interested
in the data and study only and every
contributor will be told of any results as and when they are concluded.
For this work I suggest the blacktowercg@hotmail.com email is
used with aopbureau@yahoo.co.uk being the back-up mailing address.
Any questions please ask.
Thank You
