You have evidence that Mr Hellyer is a "nut"?
What about NASA Astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell and many other highly qualified people that have made similar claims? Are they all crazy or just trying to sell books?
Personally, I find that very hard to believe.

Just because a person holds high-office doesn't make them credible. Ron & Nancy Reagan, for example, consulted astrologists and the like.
If I remember correctly, Hellyer got on his UFO kick after reading Corso's book. That either makes him extremely gullible or a shill for myth-making.
Don't get me wrong: I totally believe in the anomalous nature of many sightings/experiences, however, Hellyer would flunk any course that depended on objective fact research.

While I don't necessarily disagree with your statement, I also think part of it comes from the topic at hand.
Meaning, when such high level government officials or whistle blowers normally come out and bring up financial corruption, corruption involving the media or military, of corruption in the medical field their opinions aren't usually tossed aside as much as someone talking abut UFO's.
So, would you or others dismiss this so quickly if it was a different topic? I think probably not, and it's not because of the topic itself, it's just because people have convinced themselves, partly because of constant media/government coverup that proof is still needed when proof is readily available. Maybe a UFO hasn't landed in your backyard but you don't sit in Wall St meetings or meeting involving high level government officials either, yet most still believe whistle blowers/government officials when they come out and talk about other topics.
Just look at my thread involving the UFO fly overs of Washington DC in the 50's with military and government quotes, including the President which shows there's plenty of evidence which suggests this issue is real.edit on 5-5-2013 by MysticPearl because: (no reason given)

Yeah, what about Mitchell?

Two very valid points to take into consideration here....
1) He just 'had' to mention his book during the hearing? Why...
2) He was paid $20,000.
Besides that, seems 'relatively' credible imo.
