I read on the ufo magazine home page about the hate mail that you have been receiving. That makes me very sad indeed. I find it shameful that narrow minded people would resort to childish hate mail just because they have a different opinion on a subject or with the theme of a publication. It is obvious to me that the people who send these kinds of letters are very narrow minded and ignorant of the subject. They also seem to be absolute control freaks that only want their opinion to be the only one available. It is sad we cannot have an intelligent discussion of a fascinating subject without the loud mouth malcontents trying to shout everybody down.

I have no time for people who refuse to learn the facts or refuse to act with intelligence just because they have never had the experience of seeing a ufo or strange happenings in our skies. I, personally, witnessed ufo's in the skies over Francis E. Warren AFB while stationed there in the 1960's. Sightings were common in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where the base is located, and in that whole area of the state.

I am willing to listen to any point of view, as ufo magazine has proven to be. I just cannot understand why one would resort to hateful letters and hurtful language just because they disagree. This does not solve anything, it only causes hard feelings and outrage for those of us who are willing to have a civil discussion. I urge you dear editor do not even give these people the time of day by publishing their garbage. Their mind is made up and they do not want to be confused with the facts and the truth!

I STAND FIRM WITH UFO MAGAZINE IN THE THOUGHTFUL AND HONEST DISCUSSION OF THE UFO PHENOMENON AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY AND THE WORLD. I URGE ALL WHO WANT CIVIL DISCOURSE TO DO THE SAME!!!
