Read this years ago from him and saved it...

I know that people would love to have me say that, 'I believe that Whitley Streiber did get taken aboard a flying saucer.' No, I think Whitley Streiber, probably a very nice man, is self-delusional. I mean he really believes that by this time, and also it's made him quite a lot of money. But I don't think he did it for the money, I think he really actually believes that. The same way that Joan of Arc thought God talked to her. But God has more important things to do than talk to little French girls in jail. And has more things to do than give you hair growing on the palm on your hand if you masturbate.

He was brilliant and a little crazy, but I think to be a good story teller you have to be a little off your rocker.


I still remember reading about the dispute between him and the folks at Star Trek over the City on the Edge of Forever. If you can find a copy of the original treatment, its funny seeing members of the enterprise as either drug addicts or drug dealers.
