WHO ARE THE REAL ABDUCTORS?
ich Reynolds has been on the UFO scene for many years—decades, actually. Refreshingly, Reynolds is someone who is not driven by Fox Mulder’s “I want to believe” approach to ufology. Rather, he solely goes where the evidence and the facts take him. In February 1978—exactly twenty years after Antonio Villas Boas gave his statement to Dr. Olavo Fontes—Reynolds found himself immersed in the story. It all began when Reynolds was approached by a mysterious, and perhaps even Machiavellian, character named Bosco Nedelcovic. He was born in Yugoslavia, but had moved to the United States decades earlier with his family. Nedelcovic carved quite a career for himself in the United States, working with the CIA and the Department of Defense, and securing a prominent position with the US Agency for International Development (AID). At least a part of his clandestine work in the 1960s was directed toward destabilizing prominent figures in the growing civil rights movement. There was also the matter of what Nedelcovic knew about the Antonio Villas Boas story.
