There has been a lot of activity on the UFO UpDates List this week regarding CFI - Coalition for Freedom of Information and how they are planning on pushing for information about the Kecksburg case.

Now for those who are not familiar with it, Kecksburg occurred on December 9, 1965 with something crashing to earth from the skies in rural Pennsylvania. Once again, the military came in, cleaned up the site and carted off the debris but unlike Roswell, they didn't claim this was a weather balloon, they instead said it was merely a meteorite.

Local residents have said that what was taken away was not a meteorite but some kind of craft and some of them have made claims that it was not a craft from this world. Therefore, the involvement of the UFO Community.

Now, CFI is planning on getting out the real truth behind the Kecksburg case and there are people in the UFO community that are questioning why CFI has chosen Kecksburg because the common story is that more than likely what crashed in Pennsylvania was nothing more than a Russian or U.S. satellite and all the expense and aggravation of focusing on Kecksburg will lead to nothing more than a UFO community with egg on it's face.

Where I have a problem with all of this is that I have come to a conclusion that no matter how many people from the community get together, there can be no agreement on which UFO case is the best one to focus on. CFI, in it's wisdom has chosen Kecksburg and regardless of anything else, if they can get information from the U.S. government and it shows the case is nothing more than a crashed satellite, it puts that case to bed and CFI can focus on another case. The bottom line in what I believe We all want is the truth about UFOS and what the Government is not only not telling us... but what they are actively covering up. I want to know the truth about Roswell, I want to know the truth about Rendelsham Forest in England, I want to know the truth about the tens of thousands of sightings that have not been explained away. I want to know the truth about all the cases that Project Bluebook stamped 'unexplained' and I even want to know the truth about Kecksburg.

The only part of the UFO UpDates thread entitled "Open letter to CFI and Podesta/Mattoon" that I agree with is that it is our right to voice our opinion on which cases CFI might want to consider and that nobody, not even Don Berliner has the right to send anybody a private email asking the person to keep quiet about their opinion on perhaps there are better cases out there to discuss.

John Velez and others out there have brought up that there are better cases for CFI to focus on than Kecksburg and to be honest, I agree, but... at least with CFI focusing on one case and trying to get at all the truth there is about it, hopefully, we shall be able to put to bed at least one of the many cases of sightings or crashed UFO's that plague our planet.

Good case, bad case, or indifferent. When a group like CFI focuses on getting at the truth, it's all... good and in the end gets us one step closer to finding out the truth.....

But that's just my take on it!
