DAN IARIA TO DENOUNCE REED UFO CASE AS FRAUD

Fanatical Supporter of UFO Fraud May Finally Admit Case Is Bogus

UFOWATCHDOG.COM has received a report that long time Reed UFO Fraud supporter Dan Iaria will be making an announcement on his website, in which he finally concludes that the case of a man killing an ET in the woods of a Washington State forest is a fraud and that he was indeed duped.

CENTER: Iaria, intense as ever, presenting his 'investigation' on the Latin American TV program Otro Rollo. RIGHT: Promo picture from the recent ARC conference in which Iaria recently gave a presentation on the bogus evidence associated with the Reed UFO Fraud.

For nearly the last three years, Iaria has been a relentless supporter of the claims made regarding the Reed UFO Fraud. Iaria has supported the case from posting messages at the old Art Bell BBS zealously proclaiming the case to be 100% real and being the "primary investigator" and lecturing about the case, to stating that people not believing the case did not "possess a lick of common sense" and labeling those that criticized the case as "insidious antagonists".

At one point, a woman in the audience asked if she could make a point and Iaria stated, "If you don't believe in any of this, then what the hell are you doing here?!" This is after the herd-mentality of an audience shouted a resounding "NO!" at the woman and told her to shut-up.

Iaria supported this case even after "Dr.Reed" had been exposed as a fraud in an exclusive story that appeared here at UFOWATCHDOG.COM. In spite of all common sense and the incredible amount of inconsistencies and lies, and evidence completely to the contrary, people wondered why Iaria continued to support this bunk UFO caper after Robert Aria and Harold Chacon Rodriguez were both exposed as frauds.

" I think that it is important to state that, without exception, every piece of evidence I have uncovered and all of my investigation results have absolutely shown this case to be real " -- Dan Iaria, 22-FEB-2002

Iaria invested a great deal of time and money in this case - flying to conferences, producing videos, maintaining a website, fulfilling book orders, reportedly financing the construction of a display case for the fake "Link Artifact", and flying to locations for his so-called investigation - not to mention meals, lodging and other expenses.

Iaria reportedly spent $10,000 to fund a Spanish language version of the book written by Robert Aria (aka Robert 'Raith') and John Bradley Rutter (aka Dr.Jonathan Reed) since the market for the story had all but evaporated here in the United States - this after Jaime Maussan decided to use his resources to create a media blitz in Mexico, in spite of Maussan having plenty of information to demonstrate the case was a fraud. The Reed UFO Fraud garnered the highest ratings ever for a Latin American television broadcast.

While Iaria shut down his website shortly after UFOWATCHDOG.COM exposed the fraud behind this case, Iaria is reportedly bringing his website back on-line sometime next week to make his announcement. To date there has been no announcement or statement forthcoming from the UFO fraud himself, John Bradley Rutter. UFOWATCHDOG.COM's prediction:

Be prepared for the obvious: Rutter will likely continue to say that the bogus alien encounter happened and that his fabricated evidence is real, but he will say that he was only protecting his family and friends by lying about who he really is. Rutter will probably say that he can no longer tolerate being attacked, he'll offer apologies and not answers and will more than likely focus on an emotional pitch in an attempt to garner sympathy. You can also expect all of the so-called evidence he had will now be beyond his reach and he will claim it is completely out of his hands.

"It is becoming almost ridiculous that anyone would still claim that Dr Reed is not telling the absolute truth. We have put forth so much evidence in support of this case (audio, photographic, video and now firsthand witness testimony) that only people in complete denial or those that have an agenda to try to suppress this information could possibly continue to refute it." -- Dan Iaria

"And so, he then began to claim this case was not real and he tried everything in his power to try to convince others, even to the point of lying to us about the reality of this case" .-- Dan Iaria making baseless claims about the integrity of your UFOWATCHDOG.COM editor after having exposed 'Dr.Reed' as a fraud.
