From the _Skeptics UFO Newsletter_, Nov. 1997, by Philip
Klass:
Hopkins Makes False Accusation Against SUN's Editor
     During a talk-show appearance on Philadelphia radio
station WHYY on June 26, in which I did not participate,
Budd Hopkins stated, "Philip Klass, who is the dean of this
sort of ad hominem attack in the debunking field, was
recently asked if he had interviewed any of the purported
witnesses in the [Roswell] case.and he said no, he doesn't
have to. He knows that this couldn't have happened. I'm in
favor of skepticism. What I'm against is the kind of `true
believer' such as Philip Klass, who will simply say: `I
don't have to interview anybody. I don't have to read any of
the books, simply because I know that sort of thing cannot
happen.'"
     I have never made such a statement about Roswell, or
any UFO case--including Hopkins' highly touted Linda "beam-
me-up-Scotty" Manhattan abduction case. I have read every
book on the "Roswell Incident" as well as every article
published in the _MUFON UFO Journal_ and in the
_International UFO Reporter_. I have been investigating the
case for eight years and have visited Roswell twice. I have
personally interviewed nine key witnesses and have studied
audio and video taped interviews with many others who claim
involvement.
     The results of my lengthy investigation are reported in
my new book, "The _Real_ Roswell Crashed-Saucer Coverup,"
just published by Prometheus Books, Amherst, N.Y.
