If what you say is the truth, you shouldn't have to pay people to accept it.

Are there any astronauts still in the corps who were involved in the DOD missions? I doubt it, but I'm going to look it up and come up with a list of astronauts still active, if any, and what DOD missions they were on.

For immediate compensated release:
[$500.00 for each copy of the following Article Release for anyone wants to reprint it in a newspaper, magazine, TV, radio, etc. Unless I approve only]
It is my take on it that he is paying the media $500.00 for whoever reprints his story. I could be wrong though.

That's the real World mate. People need to survive and to do that they do something that people will pay money for, it is perfectly natural and doesn't at all take away from his statement. It is quite unfair and very cynical to accuse him of anything underhanded just because he wants payment for his work.
EDIT: I will say though that Mr McClelland has published book/s on the subject of UFOlogy. He is possibly (probably?) in the process of publishing one right now

If he honestly had proof that ETs had been in direct contact with NASA then he'd know that he wouldn't have to beg for the money. He'd know he'd be showered in cash for appearances on every talk show from now to judgement day. His claim as to why he was terminated stinks big time. A secret giant object hurtling towards us at high fractions of c for at least the last 15 years and only NASA has noticed? Not buying it. At the very least, if he's being honest he should arrange it so that his being paid is contigent on there being solid proof. As it stands he could be totally BS'ing everything and he'd still be paid quite well for it, even if it was a total lie without a shred of evidence.

But that's exactly what he's done. He has put the story out there as the worm and is sitting, waiting for a bite with the disclaimer of a price (and a very fair price for that information). He is basically doing things the way you have said.
The other astronaut, if his story is printed in a paper, he will receive a payment for it too, just he hasn't given a prenouncement of what price he would be expecting.
Also, it is hypocritical to say that he is doing this for us and then to ask for our money. He is not helping anyone. He is making himself look like a nut which, as we've seen for the past many years, makes the rest of us look like nuts.

There is no "air" in space, therefore the alien would need some type of breathing device. Also the lack of air as a medium to propagate sound wave, would also mean the alien could not be having a free air discussion and therefore as stated above must be using a radio communication device.
