Okay, guys.  Here's the REAL info about the Guardian case.

A few years ago, several UFO researchers including myself received a
package of info from an anonymous sender.  Included were several
supposedly authentic documents, map and diagrams concerning a crashed
saucer near Carp, Ontario, which is near Ottawa.  The documents alleged
that both the Canadian and US military covered up the crash, which
included recovery of alien bodies, saucer, etc.

Investigations by Clive Nadin, Christian Page, Leonard Stringfield and
myself showed that this was in all likelihood a hoax, and a pretty poor
one at that.

The docs were badly contrived amateur jobs with numerous spelling
mistakes.  In one long, tedious section, the docs warned mankind about
a threat by Red China to Jews and how the White Brotherhood was working
somehow to keep the military in line, etc. etc. etc.

Clive and another researcher went to the site indicated on the map and
found NO indication of anything.  Local residents knew nothing about
the movements of "heavy equipment" (as the docs alleged) and there had
been only a few minor NL sightings during the past number of years.

Later, blurry Polaroid photos were received by several researchers.
These showed nothing but patches of colour, and were accompanied by
more ramblings about the White Brotherhood.

I notified the RCMP about the packages.  It was determined that the
sender mailed the items from somewhere in Ottawa/Hull, specifically the
downtown Ottawa post office.  The RCMP were interested in the items
because of their similarity to hate literature.

The video came later.  Oeschler was only one of several people to get
it.  He obviously thinks it's real.

Okay, the video LOOKS good, and he somehow found a witness (whose story
matches exactly [!!!!] the video image) who saw something during the
year in about the same area.  But putting it into the context of all
the other stuff, the case looks very, very bad.

Now, of course, if someone fingers the Guardian, then the UM segment
will have been worthwhile.  But as a UFO case, forget it!

The docs have been reprinted in a few ufozines, including the SGJ and
(I think) the Cambridge UFO newsletter.  Len Stringfield has copies,
and so does Christian Page.  They both have written about the case as
an obvious hoax.

Next.
