Just to clarify, I have no objection to ufologists inquiring
about my UFO investigations at the MoD. That's their right,
under the Freedom of Information Act. But two or three
ufologists in the UK have developed an unhealthy obsession with
me. I m not comfortable with such individuals intruding into my
private life by asking about my non-MoD work.

The argument that by virtue of being in the public eye I've
somehow waived my right to privacy is absurd and sounds like the
sort of thing a stalker would say to the police after being
arrested.

I commentate in the media on a wide range of subjects, including
the unexplained, conspiracy theories, fringe science, space,
science fiction and defence.

However, with the possible exception of 9/11 - where I've taken
part in TV and radio debates against those who believe it was an
inside job - ufology is the only topic where I ve been the
subject of obsessive behaviour and hatred as a result of my
media activities.


Best wishes,
