After Robert died I contacted Stan Friedman, to ask if he had heard of his death. "Yes" Stan replied. He mentioned something about smoking…
A few years ago, I contacted the CT State director, Mike Panicello, and discovered he had never even heard of Bletchman!

Robert was very bright but not very intellectual. In my opinion, interpreting the phenomenon correctly requires in-depth and wide ranging knowledge in a number of fields, such as astronomy and human history. He didn't seem interested in that, and preferred to ask personal questions….

I liked some of Robert's views, like his dismissal of "New Age cockamamie" in the UFO field. I also came to see considerable merit in his theory on crash dummies (the government's explanation for Roswell bodies). In Robert's view, this ridiculous explanation is not meant to be taken seriously. By indirectly helping the case for ET, it is preparation for disclosure. Robert's theory was picked up by the media but didn't win general acceptance.
My own views are in the book THE ALIEN GRAND DESIGN.

Thanks but bear in mind, THE ALIEN GRAND DESIGN is the most controversial work on the subject you're ever likely to see. It's just a POD work because NO standard trade publisher would dare touch it….

That's so cool Robert was a spokesman for MUFON! I had to look him up and found he was quoted as saying in a 1994 Washington Post article about aliens: "It is not the collective meanderings of a population gone bonkers. It's based on empirical stuff. This is what very sober persons have witnessed."

Robert Bletchman used to live on Oxford street in Manchester CT, very close to my former residence on Ashland st. As he once said to someone, "By a remarkable coincidence there's another MUFON member in this neighborhood and we both got into UFOs independently of one another."
After initially speaking with Robert on the phone, I met him three times--once during a September 1981 MUFON meeting at his house, another time at his house the following year and a third time at the Mary Cheney library in Manchester.
Robert and I agreed UFOs are real and ET, and the government is concealing proof of their reality. We disagreed, however, on whether it was possible to force the government to disclose. I maintained disclosure was currently impossible, as it would be suicide for present government. Robert was optimistic it could be done, and strove for many years to do it. He died in 2008 without realizing his dream.
