Yeah I freely admit I'm ignorant. Now if everyone else could do the same we'd be getting somewhere. :thumb:
And yet here you are on ATS, which says on its logo to Deny Ignorance. LOL
I for one am NOT ignorant about Clark and his background, or his career. It seems a tad silly for you to ridicule Clark when you profess to be ignorant about him. Or maybe that is just the way you are ... ?

I know about the guy's history and qualifications. They impressed you but did not impress me. What impresses me is people who I have actual experience of so I can judge their character properly. I have not met this man or had any in depth conversations with him, so I have to reserve judgement about his claims. Others like yourself just need an employment history and some qualifications to judge an entire man, that's your choice.
edit to add:
This is a matter which is very important to all of us. The truth about aliens is the first rung of the ladder of the meaning of life. All of us want to know why we're here and who is here with us. And many lack the patience to let this knowledge come to them in the fullness of time, or possibly even die first without ever discovering the truth. And so will grab onto any charlatan's coattails that comes along if he is reasonably qualified.
These are weighty matters, and while it might offer comfort to find someone you can believe, most of the time it is just our insatiable thirst for knowledge and truth which can sometimes blind us against those who deceive us.
Stephen Greer is yesterday's messiah, many of you here had hope he would reveal things you want to know, force disclosure or whatever. Then recently there was Mitchell, and now this guy. You people on ATS treat these guys like disposable truth dispensers, they become old hat and discarded and you look eagerly for the next one, the one that will have the actual real truth, and maybe a jpg to go with it. When will you realize you wont find the truth looking to others.

It does make sense that if he has fallen on hard times he may just be in a desperate situation.

Just another eye witness to an Alien, there are thousands of them out there myself included. Nothing shocks me anymore, he talks about the REAL X-FILES and I'm sure that is going on! ET's are here like he says and they have been here but I do not expect the skeptics to take this seriously they will only learn for themselves the truth based upon so called "Undeniable proof' if that ever comes for them.
NASA and SETI are coverups yet everyone takes their words to be fact. Funny how the skeptics believe everything NASA & SETI have to say. They have been covering up aliens, ufo's and airbrushing things from the very begining. (In saying this I'm referring to those in the coverup not every worker for NASA or SETI is in the loop.) Disclosure is not meant for the entire world nor will it come. It's not about are we ready to accept that they are here, it's not about us it's about them and it's bigger than anyone can imagine.

After listening to some of the folks who know Clark I am feeling a little bad.
It does make sense that if he has fallen on hard times he may just be in a desperate situation. I have to admit when I first read his story I took it to mean he wouldn't tell it unless somebody paid him.
Reading it again in the context of what folks are saying recently it sounds like he needs the money.
I read his entire site yesterday and there are some startling claims. I think the most touching story was an experience with Ellison Onizuka prior to the last Challenger mission.
The style of writing in the other pages is vastly different than his initial page which turned so many people (including me) off.
Maybe he saw the Ed Mitchell disclosure as a last ditch method to get his story out.
Anyway, if his stories are true about the space shuttle and secret DoD missions then they need to be told.
As one of his harshest critics here I will withhold judgment to see how this plays out.
Thats kinda how I feel. I mean, most everyone knows what stress and anxiety can do to you if you are hitting hard times. And imagine how frustrating it would be if (IF!) his story is true. An event that has affected him profoundly, and one that would change how humans view the world... and he is just stuck with it.
We have just received this personal statement from the ex UFO archivist known on our site as Mr X, supporting Dr Edgar Mitchell and Clark McClelland in their own public statements. We have continued to keep in close touch since we first met him in 2006.
While working for a major aerospace company in the mid 1980's, I was assigned to a special project. This special project was basically archiving and sorting government documents of all sorts related to the UFO phenomenon dating from the late 1940's up to the present at the time. Please see my interview here at Camelot for more information.
Many of these documents, films and artifacts were sealed, but a small percentage were not. I was to sort these things into categories, mostly documents and including hundreds of photos.
When on this assignment, I was exposed to photographs of UFOs and even some of ETs themselves, both dead and alive. I became very much acquainted with our government's involvement in UFOs and their occupants.
Although I have not seen any photos or documents that depict any ETs ABOARD any of our space vehicles, I DID see photos and read documents about sightings of UFOs during several space flights. Pictures and documents were clear and there was no doubt in my mind, and still isn't, that there have been sightings during many of our space flights, at least up to the mid 1980's when I was personally exposed to this material.
In conclusion, I have very good reason to believe that both Edgar Mitchell and Clark McClelland are telling the truth in the statements put forth this week on the internet, and I fully support their effort to get the truth out to the general public

He is an anonymous person in this case, so that makes it a bit difficult, but maybe he will makes his true identity known some day.

Like I said earlier, I have had dealings with the guy for several years, plus I know many of the people he knows, going back 20 years or more, and have dealt with them also.
My support for him is based on far more than his written bio.
Ditto for Steven Greer too. I notice he aint exactly the flavour of the month, but in all my years of dealing with him, and many of his witnesses from the disclosure project, not one of them ever said a bad word about him, his integrity or his motives. My own dealings with him also show me a person of honesty and integrity.

Hey Duncan - thanks for your input and personal experience - I hate to see valuable sources be scoffed at - but it's also the norm on this website too (unfortunately).
And again to eveyone so stuck on his $500 publishing fee - ! If you think he should do it for FREE, then please send ME all your research, photos, and personal stories - U2U me and I will give you my address to send it to (you pay postage too) - All you who think he should give away his life's work for free, please send me yours - for free -
Have any of you actually considered that he just might be telling the TRUTH and you're all sitting here picking away at this and that and the other - ?? Oops, there goes another source.....
He owes no one any explanation - he doesn't even owe anyone his story yet has given it - thank you Mr. McClelland -
I truly believe only a very small percent of the global population really get what's going on -
