			A ufologist is a detective who is exploring the single largest 
			mystery of our time. As he wends his way through the elaborate maze 
			of red herrings, misinformation, cover-ups, fanatics, skeptics, true 
			believers and nonbelievers, he may well find that his most valuable 
			ally in his search is a good sense of humor. Or, as Groucho Marx 
			said, “Either he’s dead or my watch has stopped!”  
			Don Elkins Carla Rueckert
