Bill Cooper Was Clinically Insane.
He should have been institutionalized for his own safety and the safety of others. He made numerous threats against respected academic researchers and heavily exagerated claims of his own first hand knowledge on these matters, especially regarding Majestic 12. He was also connected to the extreme right-wing, anti-tax movement, though he was not an official member of any militia. Not only did most abduction researchers shun anything he said, but even former associate Bob Lazar (the discredited Area 51/S-4 guy) distanced himself from Cooper. The man became increasingly unstable and by the end was wanted by the U.S. Marshalls on felony charges. On 11/5/2001, police attempted to serve an unrelated warrant against him for assault and endangerment. He opened fire and shot one of them in the head. The remaining deputies returned fire and killed Cooper.
