John Lear

In May, MUFON Deputy Director Dan Wright wrote the following letter to
John Lear, asking him to substantiate his claims in the file LEAR.TXT,
which first appeared here on ParaNet last January. Lear responded to
Wright on June 10th, and I have included his point-by-point responses
below each of Wright's questions.
