about...I think she met him at one or two of the conferences, she said
he was investigating some weird happenings at a ranch I thought was
around New Mexico but found an article saying it was in Utah.
I didn't pay much attention at the time because it smacked of lights in
the sky stuff but I don't remember her saying anything about him being
interested in space travel per se...so I did some hunting and found;
FATE article from 1998
