An interview with the greatest living scientist on this

planet at the moment. ndeed.

We are honoured to have Professor Chandra

Wickramasinghe talks to us about his work and his career.

This is the leading and most successful proponent of

the theory of Panspermia, the man who has undoubtedly

discovered the answer about how we got here and has

suffered the brickbats and threats for his efforts.

Welcome

We are a bit late this month and my apologies. People will be people and they

let you down at the last moment.

After ust a little thought, that thought being, ÑI dont want to do any work as

m a lazy beggar,Ò this publications plans for the Christmas period will be as

follows. We will publish a combined ÑbumperÒ edition for December/January

and will publish in mid ÑishÒDecember. Publication will be announced via the

usual channels. ÑBumperÒ fender in the U.S.) means that each issue will come

with a bit of scrap metal attached.

As usual we have a fairly contentious issue for you. We have a fabulous

interview with Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe on Panspermia. Theres

nothing like feeling that the answer to a really important question has been

found, that its right under peoples noses and no ones paying attention! Thats

how I feel about Panspermia. On that basis, we are living in interesting times.

This theory is gradually and very slowly gaining wider and greater acceptance,

particularly as other competing ideas steadily fall away. And yet the

implications of it are enormous, so much so that one cannot reasonably expect

people to suddenly ditch long held beliefs that are so inherent that they are

virtually innate. So we go through the process of assimilation, which we are

doing now, and you can sit back and watch it over an extended period of time.

A social/theological revolution is slowly under way. Take another ten years

and it will be interesting to see where we are with it all then.

Theres nothing like stirring the pot and getting people all wound up about

something that happened a few years ago, and we do that with an answer

interview from Max Burns, in response to our interview with Andy Roberts from

a couple of issues back. Warning, it is a bit strong.

Of a depressing note in particular is the opening part to Andrew Pikes article,

ÑThe Science and Politics of MarsÒ in which he makes reference to the CAs

involvement in how the Mars Lander pictures were released to the public. As

you will know, one of the many assumed reasons given for non disclosure is

World Government belief that the population of the planet couldnt Ñtake itÒ. As

much as this fact is derided by many Ufologists, it would appear that, at least

within the minds of the CA, this belief and thought is uppermost. Twerps. d

love to see the analysis if there is any) that this assumption is based on. f this

is a genuine reason for non disclosure, along no doubt with a few others too, it

does rather titillate the imagination somewhat. Could it ÑonlyÒ be the fact that

intelligent life exists elsewhere and has been here etc. or does it also have to

do with our origins and how Mankind got here, and indeed whether God exists

or not? Now, if its that deep, then I guess you can begin to have a bit of

sympathy for them. Not much mind, but ust a little. That train of thought does

lend a bit more credence to the belief that were being slowly acclimatised to

the notion and that, unfortunately, will no doubt be generational. Which

probably means that most of you reading this will never know. Never before

have I written something I so desperately hope is wrong.

Despite the response from many readers about the sacking of our reporter on

the spot, Dam Acne, I am not in a position to reverse the decision. His dismissal

followed his appalling attempt at pecuniary deception involving his article on

The Wild Man of Biggleswade. I have pleasure in introducing his replacement,

Miss B. Osom who has produced a marvellous initial article for us in the

Fortean Corner section. I wish Dam all the best for the future and understand

he has found a position with ÑPorcupine WeeklyÒ where I am sure his many and

various talents will be appreciated.

An nterview With The Greatest Living

Scientist On This Planet At The Moment

cant say fairer than that)

Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe

The greatest pleasure I derive from editing UFO Review is the opportunity it

gives me to interview people whose specialised subect falls within the realm

of our interest. I have enoyed and indeed felt honoured speaking to everyone

ve talked to so far, and I say that with genuine sincerity.

The interview that follows with Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe was a

special thrill. How you might feel about reading this will depend upon what your

attitude towards Panspermia is, what you know about it, and how valid a theory

you consider it.

Stick me in a room with you for a couple of minutes and d quickly bore you

witless with it. For me it is so obviously the answer as to how we got here that,

as with anything that one feels passionately about, it is frustrating that there

are many that still dont see it.

d go further and say this isnt a theory, this is fact. There may still be some

rough edges to it and certainly a whole heap of unanswered questions, but this

s the answer, the way ahead. Tell me m wrong 20 years from now.

f the theory of Panspermia is new to you and you would like to read a little

about it before delving into this interview, then I would strongly recommend the

following site, which gives an extremely comprehensive background to the

subect, as well as the history of the theory and who the maor players in its

development have been.
