Mr. Campbell,
I am a neighbor of Major Jack Downing (in NYC) and have been taken into his
confidence as a personal assistant since late '96. He has been energetically
trying to expose certain facts about the "MiBsters", as he calls them, but
has been thwarted in many ways. He has refused to become a public figure,
out of fear for his life, because he did have a high security clearance, with
both the US Army and the National Security Agency. The majority of his
writings pre-date the release of the SciFi comedy. He unwittingly was taking
advantage of prerelease hype. That is to say, he saw that there was suddenly
a lot of interest in the subject, and began posting several detailed articles
on a MiB message board, all of which have since been deleted. He has also
posted to a.c.a51 and other ufo newsgroups, and for some timed maintained an
active line of communication with such individuals as Norio Hayakawa
(GROOMWATCH@aol.com) and Whitley Strieber (WStrieber@aol.com). AOL has an
instant message/chatroom function which members can take advantage of, and
his best interviews took place there.
After the release of the movie, he clammed up about the MiB and shifted his
articles and postings to other matters relating to national security and the
history of intelligence. For the most part he has been incommunicado since
July, and then went on a trip to Virginia that was supposed to last only two
weeks, but he hasn't been heard from since. I was entrusted with feeding his
cats and watering plants before he left, and I hope that he is just in hiding
and not "disappeared". For this reason I feel responsible to share his
knowledge.
Please try to help spread his knowledge about this little-known group. I
applaud your efforts to maintain a popular clearing-house for disseminating
information about secret government activities. May the fates bestow their
laurels upon the deserving.
