Desc : Bill English on the Story behind the Krill Papers

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


During the past several weeks there have been a number of questions
concerning the infamous "Krill Papers". At the advise of John Hicks
(363/29) I am posting this information concerning the documents in
question.

1) The "Krill Papers" were and are a fraud. John Lear and John Grace of
Nevada authored these papers and uploaded them to a Paranet Board
originally to see just how guliable the UFO investigative community
really was. Much to the credit of Paranet and Mike Corbin, it was
quickly determined that the documents were in fact fraudulent. As a
result of this both John Lear and John Grace were barred from
Paranet and several other UFO related Echos. While I don't agree
with the methods employed by John, I do understand his reasoning for
this.

2) In one respect the fraud perpetrated by John Lear and John Grace had
the effect of proving that at least one so called researcher of of
some renoun was in fact a fraud himself. I am of course refering to
William Cooper. John was listening to Cooper give and interview to
one of the local news media when he over heard Cooper state that
while serving in the Navy he in fact viewed the Krill Papers. John
approached and questioned Cooper about this knowing that the Krill
Papers and the information in them was faked. Cooper stuck to his
story and decided that John was his enemy. Especially after John
pointed out to him that the Krill Papers were faked. As a result of
this Cooper went on a rampage and did everything that he could to
discredit Lear and several others.

3) For those of you just coming onto the UFO scene, it is imparitive
that you understand that one of the many problems that are inherent
to UFO research field is that information sometimes get spread out
so quickly without proper disemination. As a result of this it
becomes factual without basis. PLEASE... PLEASE... don't take
everything you read on these databases as being the absolute truth
without first checking with others and most importantly checking
your sources...We all get burned from time to time... including
myself as evidenced by the SS433 fiasco. But we are the ones who
some day may be looked upon as the true heros of our time. At least
I hope so... A lot of us have lost so much because of what we do
here...
