Editorial Notes2
Curtis PEEBLESThe Case of the Vanishing X-15 Pilot
The publication of Ann Druffel's book, Firestorm: Dr. James M. McDonald,s Fight For UFO Science, was met with a mixed reception among believers and skeptics alike. The book gave an inside account of the highly respected atmospheric physicist's involvement with UFOs. At the same time, many readers objected to Druffel's attempts to include Roswell and MJ-12 in the account, as well as the book's technical and historical errors. McDonald's notebooks, in which he recorded his day-to-day activities formed the basis of the book. These notebooks included summaries of numerous phone calls, notes on trips, events in his struggle with the University of Colorado UFO study, headed by Dr. Edward U. Condon, and McDonald's efforts to arrange congressional hearings on UFOs. 		3-7
David SIVIERThe Victorian Charm of the Protong
One of the strangest responses to the religious furore surrounding the release of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ in 2004 was that of veteran fringe writer, Stan Gooch. While other writers and academics feared that the graphic depiction of Christ's suffering would provoke a further rise in violent anti-Semitism amid a resurgence of extreme Right wing political groups in Europe, and the renewed intifada in the Arab world, Gooch took the opportunity of the film's release to expound his own, very personal theory that Christianity owed its origins to a secret lunar cult. 		8-16
