e: /u/usandbolt points out McLean is long dead (woosh); so this speculation is off point most likely. Sidewinder could be a family member of McLean but that is a stretch.
Ross says he was contacted on October 4th by a LA Times reporter, presumably a national security correspondent.

>They were ringing me to verify the provenance of something that I'd written in my book, because they were absolutely flummoxed by the fact that I'd written it. They weren't aware of it. And I think they were a little peeved an Australian investigative journalist had reported it and they'd not come across it themselves.
Ross refuses to answer a follow up question about what the correspondent contacted him about.
Time to do a little dig. Here are all the references to "Los Angeles" in Coulthart's book. (I'm looking at references local to LA as it seems the reporter from the Times is pissed they missed a local scoop to a foreigner and is now doing some follow up.)

>In his final weeks, Kobitz introduced me to some friends of his. One of those he put me on to was a former boffin for the US Naval Weapons Centre in California at the massive China Lake base. Now retired, that person wants to stay anonymous – let’s call him Sidewinder – but he was happy to tell me what he knew. After encouragement from Kobitz, Sidewinder told me a fascinating story about a person he came to know in the defence intelligence world who had agreed to meet Sidewinder and a group of other defence insiders at a suburban roadhouse one Sunday morning, to tell them what he knew about being invited into the US government’s secret UAP program.

>At this meeting, Sidewinder’s defence intelligence friend described how he was invited to the campus of one of the many large aerospace firms located in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California. This will be deep undercover. You’ll have an office that you’ll go to on a daily basis that will not be where you will be located. You’ll have a person answer your phone and respond to questions and for all intents and purposes, you’re an employee of this organisation. You have a job there. But in reality, you’ll be working with us and others and as part of this job, you’ll have access to the wreckage and the humanoids.’” Sidewinder told me, frustrated that he knows no more, ‘That is the closest I’ve ever come to this thing being rea

Mike Williams versus Denver Boston Scott versus Washington (not sure if Howard is coming playing) Dionte Harris “Harty” versus Carolina
I remember once quarreling with Yeats who was walking around the room with a sword in one hand muttering spells to ward off evil spirits, and I noticed that every time he passed a plate of plums he put down his unoccupied hand and took a plum and I said, "Yeats, you cannot evoke great spirits and eat plums at the same time.“
I have a book of Æ’s poems and will find it to share some of his poetry, he was a peer of Yeats and an underrated Irish mystic poet!

"Alexander Albon is among the candidates in the running for a Williams or Alfa Romeo seat for the 2022 season. After announcing the plans of Red Bull (and consequently Alpha Tauri) which will in fact start next year with the same line-up of current drivers, Helmut Marko and Christian Horner are exploring all possibilities to allow Albon to return to the wheel of Formula 1 in 2022.
After being excluded from the Red Bull plans, the only possibilities are linked to the Williams and Alfa Romeo seats, for which several candidates aspire.
According to information gathered in the Spa paddock, Albon would be Williams' first choice right now, ahead of Nyck De Vries and Guanyu Zhou, completing a trio that aims for the spot that will set George Russell free.
Albon also entered the list of Alfa Romeo candidates, a team that will have to announce both 2022 drivers, with Antonio Giovinazzi's candidacy for confirmation appearing very solid.
"Alex is still an important part of our team - commented Horner -. He has played a key role this season and will continue to play it until the end of the year. We are only evaluating for him if there are options for 2022 in Formula 1, but in case he is not in a race place, he will have the same role that he has played for us this year ”.
Should Horner and Marko fail to find a steering wheel for Albon, it is not obvious that the Thai driver (with a British passport) decides to remain tied to Red Bull.
He recently started negotiations with the Coyne team to evaluate a possible entry into IndyCar next season, an eventuality that for now remains plan 'B' pending feedback from Williams and Alfa Romeo."
Not much else to say here, I just found that kind of fascinating.
