MUFON Under Siege, the series continues. Jerry talks with Chase Kloetzke, who was given the job as Star Team Manager after the contract with Bigelow Aero Space expired. Chase was a a happy camper then things started to crumble before her eyes. In an effort to find out why she was so up beat in a previous interview with Jerry and then abruptly left MUFON, Jerry does this probing interview where she reveals a strange series of events with upper level managers of the UFO organization that resulted in her complete disillusionment. Is there an effort by some inside the world's leading UFO investigative organization to disrupt and stop the admirable work of MUFON investigations? Listen and make up your own mind:

Clifford Clift took phone calls and chat room questions last night (July 11, 2011) on Jerry's show on Inception radio with Jamie Havican. CLICK HERE for the archive of this show. 
Monday night, July 11, 2011 - Clifford Clift was a live guest on Jerry's show with UPN's Joe Montaldo as co-host. Chase's abridged interview is featured before the live appearance by International Director Clifford Clift is presented- For the archived version of last night's show CLICK HERE

Note from Jerry - Friday night, July 8, 2011-   I really had hoped not to do any more shows about the inner workings of MUFON, a 40 year old,  gigantic organization that was formed for the scientific investigations of UFOs; however, this will not be the case. MUFON is having its symposium this year at the end of the month in Irvine, California. A look at the line up shows a strong line up of speakers and investigators including Story Musgrove, a former astronaut with some unusual opinions about space travel, our trip to the moon and the UFO phenomenon. Others speaking include Linda Moulton Howe and George Filer, both of whom I respect immensely.
With the unrest in the organization caused by sudden departures of key people, charges that investigations seem to find their way into a black hole, that some of the investigations are compromised by outside forces who seem to know about every report filed and the Committee for the Reform of MUFON calling for the board of directors to be elected or affirmed by the membership and suddenly a claim that the Star Team concept is not new but has been around for years; we thought it was time to do a series of shows on the inner workings of the organization AGAIN. 

 
Over the next few days we will be doing a series of live and on demand programs with major players in the UFO field including the International Director himself, Clifford Clift. On Monday night July 11, we will do two live interviews with Clift, the first one will be on the Inception Radio Network at 7:00 Eastern and the second interview will start at 8:45 Eastern on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network. We will take phone calls on both shows. In addition, on Wednesday night we will have a wrap up of what has developed since our investigative series started with an audio stream from Pararocktv.com featuring new material as well as an overview of what we have learned. This program will begin at 6:00 p.m. Eastern and go to 8:00 that night, July 13th. 
 
On our own web site we will have these programs available on demand plus some other shows especially designed for our audience on the subject.  We wish MUFON good luck in riding out the storm and unfortunately we have come to the conclusion that much of this disruption could have been avoided with more care and thought from the Board of Directors of the organization. Listen to these shows and decide for yourself, we have no agenda here only shining the light of truth of the operation. After all was not MUFON created for the public to know the truth?    

The following interview was recorded February 10, 2011. A New Development in UFO Reporting has been Started by MUFON, involving its own members and no outside sources for the investigations. Chase Kloetzke, Deputy Director of Investigation and Star Team Manager talks to Jerry in detail about how it is structured, what agreements are required to be a Star Team Member, and examples of such cases which have involved close encounters with small alien beings in Tennessee, some outside obstruction of the investigation by what is assumed the US government  in Florida. The discussion concerns membership, training, and other information as MUFON is expanding this area of its investigative team and is actively soliciting members.  (This interview was recorded February 10, 2011.)

In this program Carrion discusses openly with Jerry some details in the agreement and some of the events when this contract was in effect. He tells why it was discontinued. He also goes into detail about why he thinks there is influence on the MUFON board and their operation of the UFO reporting organization. The influence he says is from the US Government.

Several State Directors for MUFON have been replaced by International Director Clifford Clift- Jerry talks to two of them about their situations and gets their response to what Clift told Jerry about his side of the story in an earlier interview available on this page. Leslie Varnicle was active in MUFON for four decades. In this interview discussion about the rapid response policy of MUFON is discussed in detail including a caller who is a member of that group from Florida. Evidently the State Directors were not allowed to know what the teams were doing and what they were investigating. Then Jerry talks with Marilyn Carlson former director of the Oklahoma unit. She has joined another organization that has been formed by Ken Cherry, former Texas Director of MUFON.
