How Do You Spell UFO?
New Times printed several letters to the editor (July 10) trashing Frances Emma Barwood because she asked for an investigation into a UFO appearance in the Valley on March 13. There is an establishment effort to discredit Barwood, and the press is only too ready to jump on the bandwagon. The establishment fears Barwood because she is an honest person who will not sell out her integrity and her own beliefs.
Those maintaining the status quo are fools and imbeciles without integrity. Yes, sir, the establishment and controlled media do fear Barwood, or anyone else who stands up with truth and integrity, for that exposes the idiots, fools and imbeciles who have set in place the present status quo and who are destroying our country and society as fast as they can. The media and press in the old days used to give some semblance of the truth, but, since the 1960s, we only get the canned, brainwash stories the status quo uses to brainwash the public with. The problem with that is none shall survive the coming total extinction of all life on Earth if it continues any longer.

Tony Ortega's story about Mitch Stanley is essentially correct ("The Great UFO Cover-up," June 26). I disagree that what was seen was airplanes; however, there is a good probability that these were Stealth helicopters. While returning from Puerto Penasco one evening months ago, some of these helicopters flew over my car. They are painted black, and although they were probably less than 100 feet above me, I could not hear them through the open window of my car.
I think the March 13 incident was staged by the U.S. military to demonstrate to other militaries the technology that has been developed. The lights were standard battlefield floodlights typically mounted to helicopters. That five to seven aircraft could run silently and have no radar signature proves the technology. I believe that an overflight of a populated area was chosen to reinforce the point to foreign militaries.

Cannon Brawl
Max Cannon's comic strip, Red Meat, totally reeks! It absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. I want to know how much he gets paid, because if it's anything decent, I'm going to his boss and I am going to get his job. Just because he can draw (which I question if he is really doing) does not make him a funny person.
If Cannon's crap work doesn't show a noticeable improvement, I will be sending a complaint to the editor asking that he be fired. I'm not saying this to be cruel, and I can't possibly be the first to say this. Get with the program, Max Cannon, or start looking for another job. Copy somebody or read the newspapers and look for something funny and coincidental.
