SUBJECT: LETTERS BETWEEN PARANET & GOLDWATER FILE: UFO2903 The following is a series of correspondence between ParaNet Special Contributor John Aultman of Mississippi, and former Senator Barry Goldwater, R-AZ. Your interpretation of Goldwater's response would be greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------- John D. Aultman PO Box 2131 Hattiesburg, MS 39403-2131 September 8, 1987 Senator Barry M. Goldwater, K7UGA Scottsdale, AZ 85253 Dear Senator Goldwater: In June of this year I wrote to you regarding a number of letters which certain individuals in the field of UFO investigation claim they have received from you concerning your involvement with certain aspects of the UFO. In particular, your attempts to gain access to certain information the government is alleged to have in its possession. Since I have received no response to my prior letter, I would once again like to ask you to confirm whether these letters are authentic. I am enclosing facsimile copies of these letters (downloaded from a computer bulletin board). Some errors in spelling and style may be present due to the nature of their being fed into a computer and printed, but they are supposed to be true to the originals. I fully realize that you get a lot of correspondence, perhaps more than you would like, from people like me seeking to obtain information. As I stated in my previous letter, there are many letters and documents in circulation in the UFO research community pertaining to different aspects of the overall picture. Some are obviously false, others aren't. What I am trying to do is establish, once and for all, the authenticity of some of these documents. If you would confirm that you wrote the letters or didn't, then you can help clarify at least one aspect of this area of UFO research. I know of several individuals who are claiming, without having any contact with you that I can determine, that the letters from you are fakes. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. Sincerely Yours, John D. Aultman, KA5UBL Barry Goldwater Scottsdale, AZ September 24, 1987 Dictated: Washington, DC Transcribed: Phoenix, AZ Mr. John D. Aultman PO Box 2131 Hattiesburg, MS 39403-2131 Dear Mr. Aultman: I did receive your letter, but there is really nothing that I can add to what you already have spoken of. I cannot give you any other information because all of my files are now the property of The Arizona Historical Foundation at Arizona State University. Sincerely, /s/ Barry Goldwater ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
