Letters From My Gracious Readers

February 2000:

I have received more letters than I can count since I first created this web site. Most of them sound pretty much like the letters here, with the following ratio:

Buffalo Bill

Further Evidence

Should We Move to Kansas?

Are You Joking?

Shadows on Mars

Attention Getting

Were Their Faces Red!

Buffalo Bill

From: Judy Bryant
July 11, 1997

Do you take people for idiots? Someone would have to be a complete moron to believe your report of the coverup of Monolith 2. Maybe I'm the gullible one. Maybe your publication company is an online tabloid like The Weekly World News. Even so, at least give us, the public, the benefit of the doubt. I mean, make your stories believable. If you want anyone to swallow this crap, you have to sound like you know what you're talking about. The first rock the JPL showed us was named Barnacle Bill, not Buffalo Bill. If the tabloid columnists you employed were updated with current events, this story might at least be fun to tell around the campfire. Unfortunately for you, however, I will no longer log onto this site, and I will warn my web browsing friends. Thank you for making me a skeptic.

Jordan Bryant

Dear Judy (aka Jordan),

I appreciate your thorough fact checking. What you may not know is that our use of "Buffalo Bill" should verify the authenticity of our reporting. The rock in question was originally named "Buffalo Bill," but NASA press specialists felt the name denoted to much of a "violent Wild West Cold War Cowboy" image in this age of international cooperation.

The publicist in question renamed the rock "Barnacle Bill," without being aware of its more bawdy connotations. As you may be aware, this is the very mistake that led to the recent "Incubus" running shoe scandals.

To my readers: My fact checkers went back through these web pages and found no published reference to "Buffalo Bill." Is it possible that Judy/Jordan had access to my e-mail and are trying to create a debunking campaign?

Further Evidence

From: Terry Blackburn
July 18, 1997

I applaud your efforts to expose this martian fraud the government is foisting off on the public. I too have found evidence of a coverup. I have carefully documented the information on a website located at -- http://www.rdrop.com/~tblackb/life_on_mars/life_on_mars.htm.

Please feel free to use this information in any way that can support the cause. nanu nanu.

Dear Terry,

I appreciate your shared concern and will include your address at the web site. Many people seem to believe we are joking.

These are the same people who believe that one bullet can loop through three different victims and that Oswald worked by himself for exclusively terrestrial motives at a time when the space program was really making an impact.

Isn't it funny that after Jack, Martin and Bobby were killed, the space program virtually ground to a halt?

To my readers: I have since looked at Terry's web site and suggest you do the same. I am not at liberty to tell you what he found, and my sources cannot verify his findings. I suspect this will further convince skeptics that my own web pages are little more than a hoax. But neither do I believe in supressing any data that could aid in the search for truth.

If you are interested, I included a list of other sites listed with Yahoo that claim to have proof of alien artifacts on Mars.

Should We Move to Kansas?

From: Mike Regish
July 17, 1997

I really hope this is just your idea of a joke. If it is, I'd just like to let you know that I think it's pretty lame. Not even a good fake. If it's not, then I'd like to say...me 'n billy bob here-we wuz jus' wondrn if we shud moov outn kansas. ahyuk...

Dear Mike and Billy Bob somewhere out in Kansas:

Don't move yet, but I'm glad that you have failed to see the humor in this, unlike others. Yes, it would be a lame joke, which is why it is important that other good citizens like you realize how true it is.

You may want to move after you check back at the page to discover more recent developments. Please continue your vigilance and good citizenship.

Are You Joking?

From: Metallicat
July 19, 1997

was that bit about monolith 2 a joke?

Dear Metallicat,

Are you laughing?

Shadows on Mars

From: Kelly
July 20, 1997

Hi there: On your little Mar's Rock spoof, you forgot to put a shadow under Monolith II.

Dear Kelly,

There wasn't one. Isn't that scary?

Attention Getting

From: David Barnes
July 22, 1997

You should confine your efforts to drawing comics not writing funny pages about life on mars. I suppose it does draw attention to you.

Dear David,

Thank you for your warm support. You are absolutely right about the attention. Even if the Martian expose were a hoax, I've gotten lots of e-mail from generous readers like you.

Were Their Faces Red!

From: Geoff Hope
July 22, 1997

Your Mars coverups are complete bollocks, i mean, why did you draw in the MIB with red faces. However, it was a realy good laugh and i enjoyed browsing through your pages. Well Done !!THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!! (but you 'aint found it!)

Dear Geoff,

Their faces are red because of 1) all that Nevada desert sun, 2) sunburns look more red when contrasted with black suits, and 3) they were embarassed that we caught them on camera. As to "The Truth Is Out There" but I haven't found it yet, wait until you see the newest revelations to come next week.

Thanks for your support, keep searching.

Family Connections

From: "[secret] (NASA-HOU.gov.us)"
BCC: "'[secret] (NASA-WAS.gov.us)'
Subject: FW: Martian Lander alien
July 25, 1997

People are beginning to think you got your Pathfinder info from us, especially since our [secret] has all those CIA connections from back in the eighties. Mom is very mad.

Dear [secret] and [secret],

It's always fun to remember I have men in black in my own family (although I recognize there is some gender confusion in that reference). Tell Mom this has nothing to do with her. Hope to see you all at Christmas.
