Eduardo Russo, a UFO investigator from Turin, has spoken at length to Monsignor Corrado Balducci, who contributed an interview to my new book Confirmation.

McClendon News Service – There appears to be an undertone of change in the media and the government regarding the UFO controversy. This release was issued on March 30 by White House Correspondent Sarah McClendon.

A few days after we had ours, a witness took a video of a daylight disk that was shown on local TV. When we were at the annual Project Awareness conference in March, a UFO was videotaped from the porch of a cafe where Anne and I and some friends were having coffee with Alien Agenda editor Jim Maars.
