Reed Hoax: The Lies Continue
Reed and His Band of UFO Con Artists Continue To Promote Fraud With
Aid Of Jaime Maussan
30-June-2001
ABOVE: Jaime Maussan (left) and Jonathan Reed (right) appear on the
popular "Otro Rollo" television show. Maussan shows off the so-called
"Link Artifact" supposedly stored in a "nitrogen container" (see
below). Reed has been forced to try and push his con job on Latin
America since he was exposed as a fraud in the United States.
On June 26, 2001, Jonathan Reed, accompanied by devotee Dan Iaria, Dan
McEvoy, and Robert Raith (aka Robert Aria) appeared on Mexico's most
popular primetime television talk show "Otro Rollo." The show hosted
more so-called witnesses (all with their faces hidden) that claimed to
know Reed and verified his story.
Reed devotee Dan Iaria continues to support this fraud in spite of all
common sense. Iaria was a fanatical supporter of Reed's story on the
old Art Bell BBS and he used to post under the alias of Dante Aries.
Iaria has been asked several times to submit Reed's so-called evidence
for independent evaluation. Iaria continues to refuse to release
anything. Some have suggested that Dan Iaria and Robert Raith (aka
Robert Aria) are actually related and are in on the con together,
although there is no actual proof of this as of yet. Iaria is reported
to be very hostile when confronted with facts that dispute any aspect
of Reed's tale and Iaria will evade directly answering questions.
Iaria blocked the e-mail of several people, including UFOWATCHDOG.COM,
after inquiries into the employment of Harold Chacon and Robert Raith
(aka Robert Aria) were made. Both Harold Chacon and Robert Raith had
been exposed as working as clerks in a gas station, Iaria stated this
wasn't important even though Chacon lied about being a doctor and lied
about analyzing Reed's bogus alien tissue and blood.
The appearance of these UFO clowns on Otro Rollo was nothing that
hasn't been seen here in the United States, other than the possibility
of them being able to gain exposure to millions of people in Latin
America. It was the usual pre$entation: Reed's video, Iaria claiming
to have investigated Reed's background, Raith talking about the book
and helping Reed along with the story, more bad acting from Reed. But
this time there was a bit of a twist.
Mexico's best known UFO investigator Jaime Maussan appeared on stage
with Reed and his group and endorsed the story. Many UFOlogists are
having a difficult time understanding why Maussan would risk his
credibility and the credibility of UFOlogy by lending credence to this
obvious hoax. This isn't the first time Maussan's credibility has been
called into question.
Maussan, best known for covering the UFO flap in Mexico, allegedly
told several investigators that he had radar tapes from Mexico City's
airport that clearly shows UFOs caught on radar. When asked for these
tapes by other UFOlogist, Maussan reportedly failed to provide the
tapes.
Maussan is probably best known for promoting the Mexico City daylight
UFO video which was later shown to be a hoax. Maussan was reported as
still standing by the video because he had interviewed witnesses that
said they saw the craft. These witnesses came forward after the video
was shown on television...
Among one of the claims made on the program was that the Link Artifact
was stored in a container that could only be opened with a digital
code. It was also claimed that the container storing the artifact was
a nitrogen container. Why nitrogen? Reed was asked by several viewers
and audience members to demonstrate how the link artifact worked. Of
course, Reed already had his excuse in line saying that he couldn't
use it due to some kind of fungus growth on the phoney device and that
was the reason for the nitrogen storage. Reed can't effectively
demonstrate the powers or properties of the device for one good
reason: its a fake.
JUST THE FACTS
To simplify this con, presented here are the facts in this case that
Reed, Iaria and the rest of these people don't want you to know about.
By the way, Jaime Maussan and his producer know about these facts and
have not presented them to the people of Latin America:
~ Jonathan Reed never has been a doctor of any kind. Reed does not
have a Ph.D. in psychology, has never worked as a psychologist at the
University of Washington, has never worked at Johns Hopkins
University, never attended UCLA and has not been on the run from any
government agents. In fact, he has lived in Seattle, Washington the
entire time. Reed's publisher, Pam McCloud, has been reported to be
Reed's girlfriend and it has also been alleged that the two have been
living together for some time.
~ Jonathan Reed claimed that the government has completely erased his
identity. However, Reed has a post office box in Seattle under his
name. Reed also has a bank account in Seattle that he uses to cash
checks for the sale of his books. This bank account is in his name.
Both the post office and the bank that Reed uses are within a few
blocks of each other in west Seattle and are near a gas station that
both Robert Raith (aka Robert Aria) and Harold Chacon are employed at
as clerks.
~ Robert Raith's real name is Robert Aria. Aria is not a professional
writer and was, until recently, employed as a clerk at a gas station
working the night shift for at least the last 5 years. Aria claimed to
not be interested in UFOs or Art Bell until he met Jonathan Reed.
People that know Aria, whose nickname is "Bobby", have stated that
Aria has been a longtime Art Bell fan and always talked about writing
a book about aliens and other dimensions. Aria and Reed have been
friends and Reed's former business manager, Christine Fine, is friends
with and was at one time neighbors with Robert Aria. Reed, Aria and
Fine all live in Seattle and know each other. Several people involved
with UFOs in Seattle saw Raith working at this gas station in his
employee uniform. These people went to confront him and he avoided
them by leaving through a backdoor, probably fearful of being exposed
as a fraud.
~ "Dr." Harold Chacon is not a doctor and has never attended the
Catholic University of Puerto Rico as he has claimed. Chacon claimed
to have a degree in microbiology from the Catholic University of
Puerto Rico but that university doesn't offer any such degree. Chacon
isn't a scientist and does not have a Master's Degree or Ph.D of any
kind. In fact, Chacon is a clerk at the very same gas station in
Seattle that Robert Raith/Aria worked at. Both are lying about this
case and Chacon was recruited to lie about this hoax. Chacon claimed
to have performed testing on alien tissue and blood that he obtained
from Reed. This is just another in a long line of lies being
perpetrated by those involved in this blatant hoax.
~ Reed claims that he and a friend talked directly to Peter Davenport
of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle in October of 1996
about Reed's bogus alien. This is completely false as Davenport wasn't
even in the United States during this time period and has stated so.
~ The film that Reed and Iaria claimed several times were "the
original negatives" from Reed's alleged UFO encounter have been shown
to be fraudulent. Reed claimed the photos were taken in October of
1996 yet the film made by Kodak was shown not to be available until
January and February of 1997 - three to four months after he claims to
have taken the photos. Iaria is now claiming that the photos are
copies of slides but a well known film expert has stated his opinion
that this is not the case. Until this issue was raised publicly by
UFOWATCHDOG.COM, Reed and Aria were adamant that the negatives were
the originals and have made public statements to that effect.
~ Reed claimed to have been shot in a botched kidnap attempt on him.
During his appearance at the IUFOC in Nevada, Reed was approached by
researchers Do.Roger Leir and Lloyd Pye. The two researchers asked to
inspect Reed's scar and Reed was reported to have run from the two.
~ Reed and others involved in this scam have disgraced the memories of
two people that have passed away. Reed and Aria are claiming that two
researchers from the University of Washington were killed for their
alleged involvement in analyzing blood and tissue from Reed's fake
alien. Reed has chosen to drag the names of these men through the mud
in an effort to lend further credibility to his con. The two people
Reed claims were killed in connection with his so-called encounter
have absolutely no connection to Reed. Iaria goes so far as to state
that the late Dr.Carl Sagan himself was involved with this. How
convenient for Reed and Iaria that none of these people are alive
today to refute their nonsense.
~ A special effects expert has stated that Reed's alien is made of
rubber. Photos of Reed's alien also show a straight pin and what
appears to be a button on the clothing of the alien. There also
appears to be an 'x' marking a spot where the bogus alien's head wound
is located. It is also interesting to note that in video Reed claims
to have taken of a UFO, that the UFO never moves and is stationary
throughout the video.
Reed and his cohorts want to sell this scam to people based on emotion
and not proof. Iaria makes it clear that he wants emotion to reign in
all of this and not evidence, "We need emotion to make this
happen...", says Iaria. Start asking for proof and you'll only receive
excuses from these shameless hucksters trying to pass off a lie while
trying desperately to reach into your wallet and take your cash. Reed
has been made too many honest offers in having his evidence evaluated
and he continues to fail to provide any actual truth to back his
story. Why? Because he's lying and he knows it. Reed and his cohorts
have been caught in far too many lies and will continue to get caught
so long as people demand proof instead of words.
UFOWATCHDOG.COM and several others have directly challenged Reed on a
number of occasions and Reed has never accepted any challenge
including a one-million dollar challenge that was made to him when his
story first came out. Don't let these con men take you for a ride...
