...partner, University of Colorado journalism professor MICHAEL TRACEY, bill the interview as a no-holds-barred session, in which no questions went unanswered. If so, this will be remarkable, given the Ramseys' reluctance to talk to anyone, including the Boulder, Colo., police. The producers say the documentary will debunk certain assumptions, among them that JonBenet had been sexually abused, and offer new support for an outside-intruder theory...

...partner, University of Colorado journalism professor Michael Tracey, bill the interview as a no-holds-barred session, in which no questions went unanswered. If so, this will be remarkable, given the Ramseys' reluctance to talk to anyone, including the Boulder, Colo., police.

...opportunity to make very clear that I saw absolutely no scientific evidence for any spaceship companion to the Hale-Bopp comet. But I also cited positive evidence for the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence through the UFO phenomenon. It is easy to use the Heaven's Gate tragedy to debunk the entire range of phenomena associated with possible visitations, ignoring government cover-ups of reverse engineering and of radical new concepts in free-energy generation. We are in the midst of a profound scientific revolution, and the popular press needs to get beyond denial and become more open to these vexing...
