“Who let the fox in the chicken coop?” asked many people at the November 2009 Las Vegas conference …

That’s what Linda Moulton Howe wrote in a recent article at her fantastic website Earthfiles, home of some real-life X-Files.

Some crazy things have been happening within the active UFO community. I was just reading at Earthfiles that one of the heads of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) had made some statements that amount to blasphemy within most UFO circles.

In November 2006, former NASA engineer and MUFON Director John Schuessler retired and businessman, James Carrion, took over the directorship. By the July 2009 international MUFON conference in Denver, Colorado, and the early November 2009 Crash Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Carrion surprised audiences with a presentation that implied there were no unidentified flying object crashes in Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. Instead, he hypothesized that the crashed disc/s were a U. S. counter-intelligence operation for a Top Secret Project Sear.

“Who let the fox in the chicken coop?” asked many people at the November 2009 Las Vegas conference, referring to Carrion’s disregard for decades of detailed Roswell, New Mexico, research, interviews and document evidence about one or more spacecraft of unknown origin allegedly crashing in the White Sands, Corona and Mescalero Indian Reservation areas the first week of July 1947.

The upset was large enough, apparently, to lead to Carrion relinquishing his director’s post at MUFON, which he did January 12, 2010.

Retired nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman wrote a great rebuttal to Carrion’s statements. He’s been a huge part of the collection of historical information, and research in this area for a long time.

Linda Moulton Howe has Friedman’s entire formal rebuttal posted in an article at Earthfiles.com
