Christopher Mellon. Ignorant.

Greetings. Christopher K. Mellon. The name is familiar to anyone who holds an interest in unidentified flying objects. 

Mr. Mellon is a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence for the William J. Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Mr. Mellon also served as the Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. His lengthy work record and duties are contained within the public record. 

Mr. Mellon has been actively lobbying for the U.S. Government to conduct investigations into the UFO problem for a number of years now. His face and name has become synonymous with the UFO topic, alongside other people of some notoriety. Mr. Mellon has made various public statements about UFOs, some grounded and reasonable, a few being far less so. A statement made on X (Twitter) reeks of ignorance, something which is embarrassing to see. According to his post, dated May 11th of 2021, Mr. Mellon is thankful for the investigative efforts of Jacques Vallee and Paola Harris, a ridiculous statement to make considering that Vallee and Harris are coauthors of a book that advocates for the reality of a hoaxed event, the so-called Trinity UFO crash case. In fact, after independent researchers took a look at the Trinity case, it soon became apparent that the entire story is a pile of steamy excrement, complete nonsense. 

Despite this, Mr. Mellon believes the story and supports the "work" of Vallee and Harris. What the hell is Mr. Mellon thinking? Is he simply ignorant? If so, no excuse. Is he knowingly attempting to mislead the public and the greater UFO subculture? Perhaps, but I have no information that would allow for a firm declaration. Is Mr. Mellon attempting to maintain a narrative that keeps the UFO topic in a place of attention and within the sensationalized spotlight of the UFO entertainment industry? That is a strong possibility. No further posts have appeared to contradict his initial position, so I can only assume that Mr. Mellon's beliefs about the Trinity hoax have not changed or any substantial degree. Again, embarrassing. 

Kevin Randle and Douglas Dean Johnson have conducted some outstanding work revealing that the Trinity case is a hoax, confirming that the case is simply a story made up by a few people whose motivations are unknown to this point. Some links to the information concerning the Trinity hoax are as follows:

Christopher Mellon has embraced a hoax, which calls into question his knowledge about the UFO topic and its long history. Embarrassing and ignorant, plain and simple. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
