Where will Dietrich go with this?
Response from MUFON San Diego, Wil Wakely:
Richard,
"Thanks for the info re Deitrich. First I have heard of the problem. Yes, I neglected to start recording at the beginning as I was distracted with starting the meeting and did not discover my error until well into the meeting. DD accused me of doing it deliberately, for which I apologized and denied. He became almost abusive; guess it is a hot button for him. He claims that he never gets recorded and feels it is deliberate. I think he is paranoid among other mental problems.
I had problems editing the recording and kept Doug and Peter Moon advised of my problems. A couple of days later I sent them the recording. Yes, I did edit to remove the discussion we had after he left the meeting as most of it was negative and I did not want possible legal action.
We were disappointed with his presentation because a lot of it had nothing to do with UFOs; it was mainly about Japan’s activity in WW2. After about 2 hours he finally got to the discussion of the Battle of LA and the Roswell event, as the meeting was advertised. Before that, we were frustrated with his boring extraneous dialog and anti-American slant.
I tried several times to direct his discussion to the Mufon interest without success. A couple of members criticized him on some of his facts, but overall we were polite and endured his diatribe. BTW, he did not threaten me with legal action, or if he did, he never told me.
