Well, here we are in July and I'm back after a spot of ill-health (women's problems....). Very much un-surprised to find Colin Andrews has not removed all his false claims from his website and has not issued an apology for all his misrepresentations. Not entire;y unexpected as the man himself would say! So; what can I do but what I said I would do-publish more about him!!
Since Abi and I uploaded this Blog in January 2008, we have received a deluge of e-mails and letters congratulating us on our expose of Colin Andrews, the Walter Mitty of Crop Circles.
Here's a few:
'Well done you two for exposing this cheat!'
'Candi; You deserve to be congratulated for bringing to the public attention all the falsehoods Andrews has perpetuated over the years.,
We've also had a bit of pooky slag from one or two of his 'disciples'-most of it too rude to publish!
We also received a lengthy letter from Paul Fuller, the UFOlogist, who congratulated us on the honesty and depth of research we undertook in preparing our Blog. He wrote:
"....I am overjoyed that at long last someone other than myself has conducted some independent research into Colin Andrews and come out in favor of my own findings. This man-and some of his supporters-subjected me to nearly 2 decades of threats and intimidation simply for reporting the Truth about Andrews and his bogus claims. UFOlogy has never received an apology from this man for his promotion of and incitement to mass crop circle hoaxing around the globe. Neither have we received an apology for his promotion of the hoaxed alien autopsy films. Instead he continues pretending that he is a legitimate 'scientific' researcher conducting balanced and unbiased UFO research!! I fully supportthe material in your Blog and I am prepared to make a proper staement to the authorities if I ever receive any further intimidation or threats...."
Abi and I were pretty pleased to get Fuller's support, especially as he was reluctant to say too much when we contacted him several years ago. Just proves the power of the Internet!
Several people also sent us excerpts from Fuller's (now deceased) magazine 'The Cropwatcher' which he edited between 1990-1997. These fascinating cuttings contain a large amount of material about Andrews which we were unaware of when we put together this Blog. We were unaware, for example, that Andrews was one of a small group of people who promoted the alein autopsy film being marketed by Ray Santilli and his associates in the mid '90's. Santilli himself admitted that the film was a hoax in 2006 yet Andrews claimed in his own newsletter in 1995 that the film was '...definitely 50 years old...', that the age had been '...authenticated by Kodak...' and that President Truman appeared in part of the film!
Typical imaginative crap from Andrews. What's more, he went on to say that the Royal Society in London had begun testing the film! What a fantasy world this man lives in ! He has no proof to back up his claims, of course........
He, Colin Andrews, was the source of these claims and of course, none were true, but millions of people must have believed the unsubstatiated garbage he wrote and -worse still-believed he represented scientists and UFOlogists. People interested in the subject must have thought that he represented UFO researchers best abilities at investigating UFO claims.
Those who didn't know of his delusioned rantings on the subject of crop circles, that is........
Many crop circles and UFO researchers now feel that the time has come for Andrews to admit his culpability and issue the long-awaited public apology for his damaging crop circles and UFO activities over the years. We've asked hi to do this in the beginning of this Bloh and have offered him Olive branches, but-no: he has tried to bluff it out. In fact, rather than take Abi and I on he tried to get me to take part in some biased Tv debate in the US, through his intermediary, Mike Gravino. Luckily, we were advised by an informer that this debate would be a set-up as Gravino was a staunch supporter of Colin and was prepared to edit the footage to make me look daft. No neutral ground there, then. Gravino also reckoned he could find no trace of Abi and I's existence!
He obviously hasn't looked very far! I'm closer to you, Colin, than you'd think............
More False Claims
Here's another of those pieces of trash which Colin invented via his imaginative mind back in 1998: He claimed that he'd been contacted by someone who reckoned he -Colin-had an interest in organising a mass suicide. Colin claimed that the letter he received had been '....placed in the hands of the FBI, the Intelligence Division of the Tacoma police and the Cult Awareness network in LA...'
Rubbish.
He then claimed that Circles Phenomena 'International' (sic) was '....currently engaged in significant political initiatives by the Republic of San Marino and others....' to engage the UN in the UFO and crop circles lark. To quote myself earlier in this Blog..."Pants on Fire...!!' Of course he hadn't. Who the hell would take any notice of a little twit like him? Colin Andrews, International Statesman! I reckon it's about time he saw a shrink-there's plenty in the US for you, Colin!
Oh, and I've now been given a copy of one of Colin's threatening letters-those he sends out to anyone who doesn't agree with him; part of it reads:
".....I find it most regrettable that you continue to attack those like myself presumably for no other reason than they do not share your view of the world...."
- Coming from a man who never enters into dialogue with those who publish things HE doesn't agree with but instead issues threats and says he has placed matters in the hands of his 'attorney' (who also never contacts anyone so probably doesn't exist) that's pretty ripe, Colin, Hon.
That'll do for now, Abi and Ruth are on to some more material which we'll get onto the Blog real soon.
