[THEWATCHER]

1977 and 1978 were both extremely busy years for us research wise. It was mostly a 24 hour thing for Andy and myself, well, moreso myself as Andy was tied up with a job in London daytimes.
We had a very good closely linked liaison with the authorities in our designated area. Forming links with Police, the media, Universities, Coastguards and the like. Reports came directly to us instantly. We were both very high profile, mag and newspaper articles galore, mentioned in books, research journals etc. In '78 I even had a film crew from Australia filming a 30 minute segment for some program or other. I had phone calls from radio stations worldwide wanting interviews. It was a very busy time. It was also during this period that I became directly involved with UK/US government and Military factions. A number of meetings were attended. These involved a sort of incentive to assist them, they dangled carrots in my face and I allowed the meetings to let them think I was their boy. It was during these that I was first given access to my files, well, some of them, as many were clipped together denying access. But enough to see what had gone on with my life since childbirth. Some heavy stuff, some things that angered me, some that shook me to the core. Other files were shown in other meetings. I would be sat at a desk in a small office, sat at another desk would be a suit, casually watching over me as i read the files. The lighting was arranged so that it was around me, i knew damn well there was a camera filming from the window. I was not supposed to know of course but the way the lighting was configured it did not take Sherlock Holmes to work out why. These were files of photo's in B/W and Color, taken globally, by civilians and Military. Some gun camera shots too. A number of films were shown, color and B/W, civilian and Military.Some began but had a 'restricted' bar come across the screen then it would end.A great deal of other material was given me to digest, on numerous topics. May try and relate this another time.
It was during 1977 and 1978 that I was one of the main sources of materials for the media. I had extensive libraries of photo's and film covering the Ufo subject. Regularly I would be approached by TV companies wanting material for a programme or doc,. same for books, magazines and newspapers. We featured in conferences, etc, etc, it was damn hectic but fun. Sometimes running a full 18 hours before I'd get a chance to sit down and rest, then at 3am the phone would go, some officer reporting something LOL.
