I just did a short audio interview with Whitley Strieber about Mac Tonnies and his book THE CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS. It was a very nice chance to praised my friend.
At one point mid-way thru the interview, Whitley included a short audio clip from a radio interview with Mac done shortly before he died.. During the time that the clip was playing, I sat silently with my finger on a very relevant point in Mac's book. It was on page 25, and it is an open challenge to the UFO research community. I was planning to read this short excerpt aloud after the audio clip ended.
But - When Whitley spoke again, he immediately said: "And here is something from Mac's book..."
Where upon he read the EXACT quote that was under my index finger! A delightfully appropriate bit of synchro-groovyness!
Here is the quote:
"Am I a ufologist? I don't know. Maybe. If I am, I should probably qualify the 'U' word with 'theoretical.' There are theoretical physicists and literary theorists; why not theoretical ufologists?
The ufological 'community' suffers from creative anemia. It has a disheartening tendency to refute dissenting voices – even those within its own ranks – with tired screeds that unnecessarily polarize the debate..."
And here is the audio clip used on the interview:

Oh, love this one!
Guess what book I'm reading right now?
And guess which chapter I was just reading a few hours ago? ;)
