Spencer is apparently flogging his 2008 book, Alien Interview. I have read Spencer's book, and the book is allegedly endorsed by RSE instructors. The gist of the book is that Spencer is editor of a manuscript he supposedly received from a now deceased American woman named Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy whom Spencer claims lived in the United Kingdom. Spencer says MacElroy was a nurse present at the presumed 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, USA, flying saucer crash, and that MacElroy was to sole person to whom a surviving alien being would telepathically speak.
Oddly, there is virtually no information available of MacElroy. I haven't been able to locate any evidence that MacElroy actually existed. There is no UK newspaper obituary or death notice since the year 2000 that I have been able to find. I presume that MacElroy is a work of fiction. Spencer also offers the following, "disclaimer," at the beginning of the book to support my assertion:
How true! I think that the disclaimer is in there for law suit protection form the Scientologists too. When I read Spencer's book, and within the first few pages of reading, it jumps out that the story appears to be a thinly recast version of the Xenu story from Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard, OT III, 1967). The putative alien, Aril, (anagram of L - I - A - R ?) manages to touch base with all the popular post year 2000 ufology and conspiracy theories just a little too conveniently. There also seems to be more than a nod to RSE philosophy, as, "Aril," manages to decry organized religion, evolutionary theory, and states that everybody is one's own god. The universe is in essence a thought experiment of created reality.As far as the Editor of the book, "Alien Interview" is concerned, and for all practical purposes, the content of the book is a work of fiction. ...
The link to Spencer's apparent purloined Scientology can also be found on the Internet blog site of author Graham Hancock, http://www.grahamhancock.com/archive/ho ... etters.htm . On Hancock's site, Spencer appears to be writing as himself:
So Mr. Spencer, apparently by his own acknowledgement, has stated that he has written at least one book borrowing (or stealing?) ideas based on Scientology. Is, Alien Interview, any different? My advice to ramsters is to keep the fifty bucks and spend a night out of the UG on the town at a nice dinner restaurant instead with the money saved.From: Lawrence Spencer [razor@gte.net]

Subject: Your victory
Dear Graham,
Congratulations to you and Robert on your victory regarding the BBC attack! Well Done! I commend you on your courage and persistence.
I am the author of "The Oz Factors" (I sent both yourself and Robert a copy of my book last spring), so I certainly do have some first hand knowledge how the mainstream academic vested interests operate to suppress the truth. My book discusses this subject as one of the 12 "Oz Factors" which prevent our civilization from discovering answers to the mysteries of our existence.
I have been a Scientologist for 31 years. A good deal of my book is an application of the principles of L. Ron Hubbard as regards the fields of study into which you and Robert have so bravely advanced. Perhaps the material in my book will be of assistance to you at some point in your research.
Keep up the good fight!
Very Best Regards,
Lawrence R. Spencer
author of "The Oz Factors"
