The News Mail News Fail:
Press Campaign Ends In Disappointment - Appeal To Police Stonewalled
2011 Dec 20
12 months of campaigning the News Mail to appeal for police witnesses finally ends after the News Mail fails to attend its own appointment, making it clear they are neither professional nor supportive of the Police UFO disclosure project.
Residents in the sleepy coastal town of Bundaberg in Australia's North-East this week began expressing disappointment with their local paper the News Mail over a UFO story that had gone unacknowledged for almost a year. The events surround local computer programmer Richard Jones who runs a research project about UFOs and the police force.
Jones, who holds a Degree in Information Technology from the University of Queensland, and has studied masters-level linguistics, works in research and development as a software developer for a medical technology company. During the 2010/2011 New Year period, Jones published on his website PoliceUFO.com the world's largest database of documented UFO sightings by police officers, now numbering over 350 cases. The tally betters a similar project run in the UK by Detective Gary Hesseltine who won an international award for his efforts in May of last year.
Jones' breakthrough came at a time when the town of Bundaberg was suffering badly from extensive flooding, isolated and relying on military food drops. He corresponded for almost a year with his local paper the News Mail about the project, and even hand delivered copies of correspondence, making an appeal for police witnesses.
Jones' PoliceUFO.com project is affiliated with the organisation “The Disclosure Project", a non-profit organisation which aims to promote the official acknowledgement of UFOs. The organisation enjoys the support of high-profile figures such as former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, Astronaut Gordon Cooper, and the late Lord Hill-Norton, five-star Admiral, former head of the British Ministry of Defence and Chairman of the Military Committee of NATO. The organisation believes knowledge obtained from UFOs has the potential to end war and poverty and this is being withheld from the public.
Jones made news with his project in December 2008 when he released to the media an extensive research paper about UFOs based on an insider three-year covert investigation into the Australian police force while employed under the police. The paper exposed the Australian police's real X-files and a long history between the police force and UFOs, making him an authority and representative of the Australian Police Force on UFO disclosure.
Jones' decision to end the campaign came after almost 12 months of unacknowledged letters to the editor of the News Mail, Christina Ongley, before the paper's Mike Derry decided to run a story and arrange an interview with Jones, but then failed to attend his own appointment on the 13th of this month or return follow up calls.
“It's not wise to hope for cooperation from the News Mail any more”, stated Jones, “[It's] Not healthy to pursue the News Mail any further. The News Mail team have sent a clear message - They will not support the project, and they do not represent the voice of the people. There are alternatives and more practical avenues to explore and that's what I'll focus on.”
No representative of the News Mail has yet to comment on the unfolding events. Jones no longer wishes to pursue the News Mail, but readers can feel free to contact the News Mail directly at news-mail.com.au/contactus
