John Lear said that he saw a 'bathtub' flying below him when he was making his approach to LA in 1966.
He said that he immediately thought of M2-F2 from the Six Million Dollar Man and that he even called a friend of his at Lear Jet to tell them about it.
The problem I have with this is that the program The Six Million Dollar Man was aired only in 1973 and was adapted from the book called Cyborg which was published in 1972, so it would have been impossible for him to have thought what he said he did.
What left me even more perplexed is that he now insists that man never went to the Moon. Ever.
However, in the past he insisted about the 'black' space program, which he even insists in now, and claimed to have proof that man went to the moon as early as 1964, three years before Neil Armstrong came out with "One small step for man...."
The conclusion that man had never gone to the moon came from a book written by a German guy (I can't remember his name off hand). Well if he draws a conclusion that everything he has been saying over the past ten years is false based on one book there needs to be asked the question of where did he arrive at all of his other conclusions in the past?
This is another classic 'Greer' type case where they said one thing in the past and say something else almost contradictory in the present.
What conclusion may be drawn from this?
I will listen to the second hour of the program next week to try and make sense of what he said.
But in the meantime, it just leaves me a little perplexed.
Best regards,
Steve

Hello Steve,
What he meant about the "bathtub" was that the object looked like a bathtub. I know, and I said it at the end of the program, that for some this information would be hard to swallow. However, he had a fascinating career and some of his concepts are plausible. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
My job is to let the guest express him/herself, no matter how strange or "out there" the concepts may be. I was very impressed with the fact he joined our chat before I joined it and he stayed after I left. He really wanted to spend time with the audience that meant a lot to the listeners. I only expected an hour and the chat went on for about four hours.
Thanks for listening everyone and remember, in order to get to the truth. Next week I'll have Sgt. Clifford Stone and the next, Jim Sparks.
In Veritas,
Manticore
