I hope he would put it all out there and hope that full disclosure would keep him safe.

He is not totally honest anymore because he can't be, he's not allowed to. He does not even have a choice about it. He keeps putting information out but it's not all true. He keeps attention away from the truth instead. He is closer to the govt and works for them now, instead of the aliens. Because of this, is position with the alien races is not now what it was when he first began reporting his alien experiences to the world.

I am not saying he is a govt agent- I am saying he and his information is affected and controlled by govt agents, and now his work serves the govt's conspiracy against the aliens, and does not serve the alien races or humanity, or the diplomatic relationship between our worlds.

Yes, that was my first reaction when I came across Communion. It took me a while to remember where I knew his name from, but then the light hit. "Ah, yes, the horror/ science fiction writer, what a coincidence!"
The more he puts out and the stranger it gets, the more I wonder how real it is.
Not that an imaginitive writer can't have these type experiences. The odds would tend to favor it sooner or later. But it definitely is something to take into account in Mr. Streiber's case.

Really, Streiber is to the night abduction phenom what Tolkien is to Elves.
It's a pervasive mythos, but it's overwhelmingly explainable. When it happens to you (alot) you'll understand. Unless you happen to be a paranoid schizophrenic.
I certainly don't discount the possiblity of close encounters, but the ones that take place while sleeping are highly suspect.
That doesn't make Streiber or anyone else that truly believes it's real a liar. But the prevalent night abduction setting does not make for credible "witnesses" IMO.
