SUBJECT: BILL ENGLISH ON BILL MOORE FILE: UFO2158 PART 1 ================================================================= MOORE IS LESS OR IS LESS... MOORE? by William S. English ================================================================= First of all, before I begin, I would like to state that this year's MUFONs conference was, to say the least, one for the record books. And I was honored to be asked to speak at the non-conference part of the conference. I had waited ten years for the opportunity to be able to speak at such a gathering. Unfortunately, I was unable to give the speech that I had planned to give due to the machinations of Mr. William Moore. Not with- standing my own personal prejudices (for which I make no apologies) it would seem that Mr. Moore has finally out done himself in the area of dirty tricks and low blows. That is to say, Moore sure did piss off a lot of people at this one. For those of you who were unable to attend this years Conference and Symposium I will more or less try to cover the highlights of Bill Moore's saturday night speech as accurately as possible. Aside from the fact that Moore attacked several members of the UFO Investigative community, among them Linda Moulton-Howe. And beside the fact that he over ran his allotted time by better than an hour, causing the cancelation of the panel that was scheduled to take place after his speech. He skated around the question and answer period that was also scheduled, by stating that there would be such a period, however, he would ask the questions, and then provide the answers....you figure it out. During the course of his speech, however, he put the icing on the cake in such a manner as to cause me personally to throw out the speech that I had initially written in order to respond to Moore's blatant lies. Moore basically stated that he was in fact working for the government as a dis-information agent. IT'S TRUE!!! In point of fact, it was during this particular part of his diatribe that he admitted as to having taken part in the discrediting and eventual involuntary committal of Paul Bennewitz to the New Mexico State Mental Hospital. *(As a side note, I also have it on good authority that Moore was also instrumental, along with Corral Lorenzen, in the arrest and conviction of Wendelle Stevens on trumped up charges of child molestation. If ever there was a martyr to the cause....) Moore continued with his speech by stating that he felt that the information that was released by his two buzzards, Falcon and Condor, was information that the government allowed them to state, and that in point of fact Moore felt that he was being used by the government. At this point there are a number of issues that must be clarified in order to give you the reader the opportunity to form your own opinions about what I am about to state. During the later part of October of 1988, very shortly after my re-emergence into the public eye...It was reported to me that Moore had spoken to two engineers from Aerojet Corporation. Moore told them that I had admitted to him that I, and Gerry Schultz, were taking LSD when we initially wrote my report on Blue Book Report #13. I did in fact confirm this fact with one of the engineers while at the MUFONs conference this year in 'Vegas. In point of fact this is a blatant lie, and I go on public record that no such admission ever took place. Additionally, I never wrote a report concerning Blue Book #13 with Gerry Schultz. Whatever material that is out there is the work of Gerry Schultz and not myself. The only authorized information that I have released is that which is published in Bill Steinman's book "UFO CRASH AT AZTEC" and even then, the supposed hand written notes that are credited to me are in facts the notes that Schultz made while talking to me at the APRO Offices in Tucson. I will state that the notes are accurate, but they were not written by me. With regard to Moore's comments about Falcon and Condor, Moore failed to make mention of the fact that all the while he was calling me a drug addict, his two birds were parroting everything that I had told Moore during the later part of 1978. Allen Benz, then chief librarian for APRO, had arranged for me to meet with Moore shortly after his arrival in Arizona. It was at this meeting I repeated everything for him that I had initially told Allen Benz, Stanton Friedman, and Jim Lorenzen at the APRO Offices in July of 1977, shortly after my return from Security Services Command, at RAF Chicksands, England. If you the reader would care to contact Mr. Allen Benz at the FOUNDATION FOR UFO RESEARCH to confirm this....do so. Don't just take my word for it. Moore's statements concerning Paul Bennewitz require comment at this point. Moore stated that he was in constant contact with Bennewitz since the later part of 1979 shortly after his arrival in Arizona. And that he was in fact passing information received from Bennewitz to government agents. His explanation was "because Bennewitz had inadvertently begun to pick-up top secret radio transmissions from the government on his home computer". HORSE SHIT!!!! I haven't quite figured out what Moore hoped to accomplish by making this statement, but it is absolute, utter crap! In point of fact I was viewing the original reports Bennewitz was filing almost a full year before Moore ever entered the scene. Additionally I would point out that as recently as six weeks prior to the writing of this, New Mexico State Police Officer, Gabe Valdez, stated to researchers of the Southwestern UFO Research Organization that with the possible exception of the exact location of the Dulce sight, everything that Bennewitz had said was true. I doubt seriously that a person that is in the position of Gabe Valdez, is going to jeopardize his job by lying about something as touchy as this. WHAT WAS HIS REASONING BY MAKING THESE STATEMENTS? IN CLOSING: It has become apparent to many in the UFO Investigative fields that Moore's credibility has suffered greatly. My own personal opinion is that Moore has effectively removed himself from active investigations, and that anything that he might release in the future will be looked upon with a great deal of malice...you form your own opinions. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
