Jerry Pippin Interviews James Clarkson 7/19/2011 - MUFON

In Part One of this interview James Clarkson talks about his 25 years of UFO investigations, most of it with MUFON as Washington State Director. In January (2010) he began to realize that this UFO organization had become infiltrated by people with an agenda to disrupt the movement and feed misinformation to the public. This was the "straw that broke the Camel's back" according to Clarkson. The episode is explained in detail and Clarkson's views on UFOs and governmental involvement is expressed by him in a direct manner.

In Part Two the discussion goes to computer security at MUFON itself and some interesting facts are revealed: has MUFON become too much like a corporation and not a volunteer organization? Then James tells Jerry about some of the cases he has covered over the past 25 years.
