Kevin Randle on Richard Doty

Rich –

I have watched about half of the interview with Doty and I’m not impressed. Remember, Doty was working with Bill Moore and Moore, with Bob Pratt, and one other unidentified man (but probably was Doty) wrote a novel, Project Aquarius, in 1980, which is, in essence, the blueprint for MJ-12. That means that much of what he talked about had been invented in this novel about an OSI agent involved in UFO research.

 

I noted a few problems with his story. He said that the crash took place to the southwest of Corona, but it was actually to the southeast.

 

He said that the aliens had four fingers, no opposable thumb, with little sucker pads on the ends of the digits. This is straight from Glenn Dennis, who, I suspect, got it from the 1953 movie, War of the Worlds. Dennis has been, of course, discredited and the idea of the four fingers and sucker pads has not surfaced in other descriptions of alien creatures.

 

He maintains that two craft collided in 1947, one found by Brazel and the other coming down near Horse Mesa (Horse Springs?) but wasn’t found until 1949. It was supposed to be similar to the first craft found.

 

He suggested the crash took place at the end of June, but Mack Brazel was in that field, according to his son on a regular basis, every other day or every two days. It was a watering station for the livestock, so, Brazel would have found the craft then, and not on July 3^rd or 4^th.

 

He claimed that the craft were brought down in a lightning storm but I find it hard to believe that a race capable of building a craft that can travel interstellar distances would be defeated by lightning.

 

You all must remember Doty was a trained OSI agent, which means he would be skilled in dissecting stories told by others. He would avoid the weasel words, and go for the positive. Gerald Anderson once described the writing he’d seen on the craft by saying that “I would imagine that it looked as if it was embossed,” or something like that. Doty would say, “The writing was embossed on the metal.”

 

Given Doty’s past history, given what was know of his involvement with Bill Moore and the MJ-12 Fiasco, and that his information is inaccurate based on the first-hand testimony of the participants such as Patrick Saunders and Edwin Easley, I find nothing of particular interest in what Doty said. It is more of the same that we have been given in the past and without some way to confirm and corroborate what he has said, I am not persuaded by what he said.

 

These are some preliminary thoughts on this, but I have seen nothing to suggest that what Doty is saying is completely accurate.
