Summary: <br> Researcher Peter Robbins is perhaps best known for his book Left At East Gate, which was enveloped in <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ufo-expert-accuses-co-author-10527844">a controversy</a> that led to a painful process that ended in Robbins disowning the work. He has discussed the issues surrounding this extensively elsewhere.<br> In other news, his 95-year-old father Allan recently wrote <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Man-Memoir-Allan-Robbins/dp/098397683X/">his memoirs</a>, which Peter sent to me as a present. After reading it, I knew we would have a great time discussing the book and the span of 20th-century history which it covered. We even took a few minutes to discuss the history of American comedy and other books written by non-famous people about the times in which they lived.<br> Since we couldn’t avoid it, we also discussed UFOs and Peter’s experiences while attending the <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/united-nations-ufo-committee/">UN hearings</a> on the subject in 1978, as well as his interactions with Soviet reporters as they covered the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronezh_UFO_incident">Voronezh</a> incident in 1989. Peter is working on a new collection of his extensive writings and has also embarked on a project about the life and <a href="http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread432033/pg1">possible suspicious death</a> of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal. We also discussed Wilhelm Reich’s book <a href="https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_reich01.htm">Contact With Space</a>, and the merits and problems with the extraterrestrial hypothesis.<br> Above: Peter and his dad.
