Purtroppo il grande ricercatore UFO Bob Pratt, è morto sabato 19 novembre in seguito ad un attacco cardiaco.
Uno dei più noti ufologi del mondo, americano ma "addottato" dalla comunità ufologica brasiliana per la sua profonda conoscenza della casistica di questo paese, autore di "UFO Danger Zone" e co-autore, assieme ad Hynek di "Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings", si è distinto per la lucidità, e l'approfondimento dei suoi studi che lo hanno portato a visitare i più svariati luoghi del mondo alla ricerca della verità.
Riporto di seguito il comunicato in inglese di A.J. Gevaerd sulla sua morte:
Saluti, Lavinia
Bob Pratt, a great UFO researcher and a good friend, died last Saturday 19
This is a very sad note. The distinguished American writer, UFO researcher and journalist Bob Pratt is no longer between us. He served as co-author of Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings
, with J. Allen Hynek, and was the author of UFO Danger in Brazil, translated and published here as Perigo Alienígena no Brasil.
It is very probable that no other foreign UFO researcher had more knowledge about the Brazilian Ufology as Bob Pratt. He has been 13 times in the country and was that kind of field investigator that really went deep where the facts are to be researched. He helped a lot the Brazilian UFO researchers to best evaluate the dramatic incidents of alien attacks in the Northeast of the country and in the Amazon.
Bob had his interest by the UFO Phenomena begun when working for the National Enquirer, and was sent to many countries to investigate UFO sightings and ET contacts, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Mexico, Peru e Puerto Rico. Since 1975, he interviewed over 2 thousand witnesses, many of them in Brazil. His death is a great loss for the worldwide Ufology.
Bob wrote articles for several UFO and non-UFO magazines. He was for several years the editor of the renowned Mufon UFO Journal. Last Friday, Bob had a heart stroke and by Saturday, he was dead. There will be a memorial service on Friday afternoon at his town, Lake Worth, Florida.
Good bye, my friend. Wherever you are, you will be much closer to the answers you pursued here on Earth.
-- A. J. Gevaerd, editor Brazilian UFO Magazine
