Last month Larry Warren's internet detractors held the
conference that they've been boasting about at Woodbridge Community Hall. It is
sad to see the traditional hub of Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident events being
used for this travesty, but they hired it so what can you do? This event was
endorsed by Peter Robbins who could not be there, but sent a written message
loaded with his usual flattery. Peter did a radical back-flip and turned
against his former co-author a year after Sacha Christie first started posting
her supposed evidence against Larry. As a part of this volte-face, Peter launched a vicious attack against my own character,
see here for details: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-robbinsic-12-document.html.
The highlight of the Woodbridge
troll shindig was a one hour twenty-five minute lecture by Sacha called
"The Larry Warren Fraud Presentation". Sacha is another individual
who made a 180 degree about-turn very suddenly in June 2016 after her personal
friendship with Larry came to a bitter end. The material she then began posting
was huge in volume and very detailed. I examined it and quickly discovered it
to be a total fabrication. When I went public with my conclusion she insinuated
that I had been discharged from NHS Portering because I had been abusing
disabled people. As you can see below, my review consists mostly of links
because she says nothing that she has not said before in written form. Anything
I omit has been covered by other researchers in detail and there are links in
my own posts to their publications.
Sacha begins by describing how she first met Larry in 2007
and how he was a frequent visitor to her family home. For four months, so she
reckons, she gave him a place to stay and at the end of this period she then
began her blogging campaign against Larry. It begs the question when and how she
came across the information she posted and if she kept it to herself
beforehand; why? The core thesis she presents is that Larry is a Walter Mitty
figure who inserted himself into a false narrative of the UFO encounters in Rendlesham
Forest in December 1980. The
testimony of another witness, Adrian Bustinza, she regards as genuine and that
Larry purloined it for his own use. She points to similarities in Larry's and
Bustinza's story. However there are distinct differences too. In my view the
two stories are both sincere accounts. They are exactly what you would expect
from two witnesses of the same events. The differences are mostly during the
aftermath in which their experiences diverge considerably. This could be
because of their roles at the RAF Woodbridge-Bentwaters base. Bustinza was an
old hand at the rank of staff sergeant, a senior non-commissioned officer.
Larry was a new recruit. The evidence is supposedly in Georgina Bruni's book You Can't Tell the People, but when I
read it I discovered that was not the case. What's more, Sacha cites that book
and also Sky Crash, the original RFI
book, to suggest Larry lied about seeing aliens and even faked his hypnotic
regression sessions. Even if it is possible to fake a hypnotic trance I still
interpreted the texts differently. Details:
https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/07/ben-emlyn-jones-on-ghostly-hour-podcast.html.
Sacha claims that Bustinza gives an inadvertent alibi by
being with Col. Halt when the deputy commander was recording his famous tape.
However this assumes that Halt and Larry's experiences happened on the same
night, which has never been established. Bustinza made a short public appearance
a few years ago and did some interviews in which he supported Larry. Then he
started making some very cryptic statements and went completely quiet again.
Larry supposedly confessed to Linda Moulton Howe in 1986 that his story was a
copy of Bustinza's, but Linda has never published the tape of their interview,
if indeed she did the interview at all. Only a transcript of it is available
and who knows who wrote that. Details:

and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/07/more-anti-larry-warren-gossip.html.
Larry is apparently guilty of grand larceny when it comes to
trading fake rock-and-roll memorabilia; however he has never been prosecuted
for this very obvious crime. He has not even been arrested and questioned. (I
have additional information on this matter that I'm not able to share right
now). Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/09/peter-robbins-on-adx-files.html.
For some reason Sacha resuscitates the dead case of the A10
photo. It has become a moot point which nobody is discussing any more. In fact
unless the original negative can be unearthed there is no point. Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/01/is-larry-warren-fraud-part-4.html
and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/02/is-larry-warren-fraud-part-7.html.
There is apparently a discrepancy over Larry's whereabouts
during the Christmas period of 1980 immediately before his close encounter.
Sacha plays a clip of an interview he did with Tino on the matter, but it is
only a brief one. I advise people listen to the whole programme. Details: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-9.html.
Larry apparently faked his handwriting on official documents.
No he didn't. Details: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/05/larry-warren-in-rendlesham-forest-2017.html.
Sacha and her supporters were eventually forced to admit
that they had no hard evidence for Larry faking his handwriting and eventually
cancelled their own analysis project. Details:
https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-11.html.
Sacha says that Larry cannot have been seen by Dr Echols
after his experience became the UFO caused him to have eye problems and Dr
Echols' current speciality is orthopaedics. That doesn't necessarily follow
seeing as Dr Echols was a USAF medic at the time and would therefore probably
have been qualified in combat medicine which involves multiple specialities,
rather like an A&E house officer in the NHS. He may well have been standing
in as a locum during Larry's consultation. Details:
https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-16.html.
There is a tape that Kevin Randle recently published which
is supposedly incriminating. (This is not to be confused with Linda Moulton
Howe's transcript which emerged at the same time and from the same source). In
it Larry discusses his VSA test which he passed. There is a letter from MUFON
to Philip Klass of all people, denying this. So is this proof? I think not. Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/08/larry-warren-gossip-update.html
and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/07/more-anti-larry-warren-gossip.html.
Larry allegedly defaced the "lemon squeezer", the
Forestry Commission UFO monument in Rendlesham. No he didn't. Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-18.html.
Larry supposedly issued threats of violence. No he didn't.
In fact if one word of this allegation, or the allegations concerning fake memorabilia,
were true, Larry would have been jailed years ago. Sacha virtually admits this
at 1:06:52 . Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-16.html.
Larry claims that Sacha was a close acquaintance of some of
the men who have been named as the 7/7 bombers. Actually it was she herself
who said this in a TV documentary. (I was asked to take part in this series myself...
I declined!) Details: https://youtu.be/Tga4hXy8qws?t=348.
Sacha incites feminist outrage by claiming Gary Heseltine
hates women. No he doesn't; and it is very serious matter to make such an
allegation about man who has a wife and daughters whom he loves. His exact
words were: "Somebody... asked me a very good question, why are there no women
(at the upcoming UFO Truth Magazine
Conference)? It's not done deliberately. We've had four women speak in the
past. There aren't many women, in my opinion, who can stand up in front of two
hundred people and talk about evidential things. There are lots of women out
there talking about abductions and things like that, but not many on
evidential-based things... Unfortunately there aren't many and there certainly
aren't many in the UK that would fall into that category. While we've had women in the past
and I certainly encourage women to come forward, there just aren't that many
about. Although I'm sure we'll have women in the future." Not quite
the same, is it? See here for a detailed analysis of this issue: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2021/08/women-in-ufology.html. Sacha is once again twisting and distorting people's words to
produce a false context. It would be fair to say that Gary
is making an observation, one which I agree with; but he is not advocating the
removal of female speakers from bookings due to any fundamental flaws of their
sex. There are many women who have contributed to evidential UFOlogy; they are
simply smaller in quantity, not quality, than the men. I expand on that very
issue here, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2019/08/programme-334-podcast-gary-heseltine.html.
Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/08/troll-gossip-backlash.html.
At the end of Sacha Christie's lecture she is presented
with a cut glass ornament with text engraved on it by David Young, the conference
organizer. This is an obvious parody of Gary 's
"Courage in UFOlogy" awards. I doubt if anybody failed to see through
Young's pale imitation. The conference ended with a long and very complimentary
message from none other than Nick Pope. Surely I am not the only one who is suspicious
of Nick Pope's interest in this matter. You would think such frivolities would
be way beneath "the man from the Ministry", "Britain 's
Fox Mulder", the official international media pop UFOlogist whom every
journalist has on speed-dial whenever a UFO story comes in. Clearly Sacha
Christie is not a government disinformer. She is simply motivated by a personal
grudge. However she may have inadvertently hit the right note, the one that the
government want to amplify. I think this explains the involvement of Nick Pope.
Details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/09/nick-pope-on-adx-files.html.
All in all this was a very boring and unoriginal
presentation by Sacha in which she brings up no new information at all.
According to David Young we "Warrenites" were not banned and could
have turned up if we wished. I know a few people who went along. However, I had
more interesting and enjoyable activities booked for that day; like having a tooth
out at the dentist after watching the paint dry on the walls of the waiting
room...
