Answering A Couple Questions
I was asked two questions and not even on this blog.
I was asked whether I had any more CE3K/AE books working on. Well, I did have two but stopped working on both. They would have been original research and investigation and fully referenced and not based on fantasy or a scam as most current UFO books are. However, more people ask me whether there are other books in the works than buy those already published.
The sales for the books already published bring in less money than buying a book costs. So there is, based on this, no interest in the subject. The fantasy scammers and Skinwalker Ranch, "disclosure" and 'alien fragments' are far more popular and make the scammers rich.
So no more books as I have four big books out there already.
The other question is why I am not posting as much to this blog as I used to. My response:
1) lack of interest. There have been two comments since 2015 (well, one was a thumbs up). I have asked readers over and over to forward any new cases they hear of but not a word.
2) the theft and use of original work by other bloggers and this has been going on for a long time. I even had to remove some of my original illustrations as people were using without permission and credit -that is called copyright theft or theft of intellectual copyright. The responses from these bloggers is usually to just ignore my email and keep using the illo. Annoyingly, these thieves start getting praise and credit for 'their' work -my work. So I am not spending hours on posts to have material stolen.
3) total and utter lack of cooperation by Ufologists. I have had a lot of cooperation from the AFU in Sweden but from the United States, Australia, Europe etc -nothing. I have actually provided material to researchers in these countries free of charge. Just because you have a You Tube channel and claim to be trying to push "scientific research" while actively debunking does not make you credible.
Ufology is a social media/fantasy live action role playing club. Scamming and lying replaced real investigation and research decades ago. If you deal with facts and prove cases are actually solid then the "big boys" do not like that because it reveals how many lies they told and what truths they twisted.
Jacques Vallee, Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mack were joined by others including George Knapp and (later) Lou Elizondo. The people who make Ufology a joke while getting rich is a long list.
I have proven with this blog and my books that people out there have no serious interest in the subject. It's all about joining the fanatical fan base of an established fraud and giving them a lot of money.
Hope that answers the questions.

Scientists believe alien life could exist under 'impossible' conditions
Scientists believe alien life could exist under 'impossible' conditions (msn.com)
Scientists have found that one of the key pillars of theory around how life works – that it depends on carbon – may not be the case on other planets.
Here on Earth, life depends on organic compounds which are composed of carbon, and often involve other elements such as sulphur, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
With organic compounds, life is partly sustained by chemical interactions called autocatalysis, which are self-sustaining.
That means they produce molecules which then enable the reaction to happen again, and do not need any outside influence to keep going on.
In the new study, scientists looked for autocatalysis in non-organic compounds.
The theory is that if autocatalysis helps drive a process called abiogenesis – the origin process for life – then this origin process could also come from non-organic matter.
Betül Kaçar, an astrobiologist, bacteriologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told news outlet Space.com: “It's important to explore these possibilities so that we have an idea of what all forms of life can look like, not just Earth life.”
"One of the major reasons that origin-of-life researchers care about autocatalysis is because reproduction — a key feature of life — is an example of autocatalysis.
“Life catalyses the formation of more life. One cell produces two cells, which can become four and so on.
“As the number of cells multiply, the number and diversity of possible interactions multiplies accordingly.”
The scientists searched in a huge trove of existing scientific documents for examples of autocatalysis, and found 270 different cycles of the reactions.
Most of the 270 examples did not feature organic compounds, but rather elements which are rare in life forms such as mercury, or the radioactive metal thorium.
“It was thought that these sorts of reactions are very rare,” Kaçar said in a statement. “We are showing that it's actually far from rare. You just need to look in the right place.”
Now, it means scientists can test these cycles to get a better understanding of how autocatalysis can work.
“The cycles presented here are an array of basic recipes that can be mixed and matched in ways that haven't been tried before on our planet,” said study author Zhen Peng, also an evolutionary biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“They might lead to the discovery of completely new examples of complex chemistry that work in conditions where carbon- or even silicon-based cycles are too either combusted or frozen out.”
The scientists published their findings in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

What We Have Been Looking For? Methane and carbon dioxide found in atmosphere of habitable-zone exoplanet
We keeping aiming our detectors at deep space -111 light years in this instance. We might find similar results if we concentrated on closer star systems but for many astronomers 111 light years is "safely far away"
https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/carbon-found-in-habitable-zone-exoplanet
By Sarah Collins
Published 11 September 2023
An international team of astronomers led by the University of Cambridge has used data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to discover methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of K2-18 b, an exoplanet in the ‘Goldilocks zone’. This is the first time that carbon-based molecules have been discovered in the atmosphere of an exoplanet in the habitable zone.
The results are consistent with an ocean-covered surface underneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. The discovery provides a glimpse into a planet unlike anything else in our Solar System, and raises interesting prospects about potentially habitable worlds elsewhere in the Universe.
K2-18 b — which is 8.6 times as massive as Earth — orbits the cool dwarf star K2-18 in the habitable zone and lies 110 light years from Earth in the constellation of Leo. A first insight into the atmosphere of K2-18 b came from observations with the Hubble Space Telescope but the atmospheric composition has been a subject of debate. The same researchers studied K2-18 b in 2020 and 2021, and identified it as belonging to a new class of habitable exoplanets called ‘Hycean’ worlds which could accelerate the search for life elsewhere. This prompted them to take a more detailed look with JWST, Hubble’s successor.
Using JWST’s higher resolution instruments, this new investigation has definitively identified methane and carbon dioxide in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere on K2-18 b.
The researchers also identified another, weaker, signal in the K2-18 b spectrum. After several analyses, the researchers say that the signal could be caused by a molecule called dimethyl sulphide (DMS). On Earth, DMS is only produced by life, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton, suggesting the possibility of biological activity on K2-18 b. While these signs of DMS are tentative and require further validation, the researchers say that K2-18 b and other Hycean planets could be our best chance to find life outside our Solar System.
The result, which have been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, will be presented today (11 September) at the First Year of JWST Science Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Calvin Parker 1954 -24 August 2023
Clarion Ledger https://eu.clarionledger.com/story/news/2023/09/02/calvin-parker-alleged-victim-of-1973-alien-abduction-has-died/70706499007/
'It completely changed my life': Calvin Parker, MS man allegedly abducted by aliens, has died
Parker on alien abduction: 'It's just a deal in life that happens and you don't have any control over it. Maybe if I was a little older I would've handled it better, but I wasn't and I didn't.'
Calvin Parker of Moss Point, Mississippi, one of two men who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in Mississippi in 1973, has died following a life that was dictated by the alleged event.
"It completely changed my life," Parker told the Clarion Ledger on Nov. 7, 2022. "It's just a deal in life that happens and you don't have any control over it. Maybe if I was a little older I would've handled it better, but I wasn't, and I didn't."
Parker, who was 19 at the time, said he and coworker Charles Hickson were fishing from a pier on the Pascagoula River near Pascagoula on the night of Oct. 11, 1973, when he noticed blue light reflecting off the water. He said at first he thought it was coming from law enforcement officers coming to tell them to leave the property.
Then he looked up and saw a craft that he estimated was 80 feet long with blinding light coming from it. He said it was hovering and a hissing sound was coming from it. He described it as being football-shaped.
Parker avoided unwanted attention
Parker said the two were levitated into the craft by three aliens with hands like crab claws, examined by something that looked like a large eye and then returned to the river bank.
The two reported the incident to law enforcement and as the news spread around the world, their lives changed. Hickson, who died in 2011 at the age of 80, was very public about the incident. Parker, however, didn't embrace the attention.
UFO witnesses speak: 'The story is very true. That's what has bothered me for 45 years.'
In the years that followed, Parker said he changed jobs and relocated to other towns when people realized who he was. It was just something he didn't want to discuss.
Decades later, at the urging of his wife, Waynette, Parker wrote a book about the encounter to set the record straight.
Opening up about the night of Oct. 11, 1973
"I felt like everyone deserved an explanation," Parker told the Clarion Ledger in 2018. "Everyone has an expiration date and I wanted to get this out there before I die.
"I've had some near-death experiences and I'm in bad health. I just wanted to do it."
The book, Pascagoula — The Closest Encounter, prompted others to come forward saying they saw objects in the sky that night that couldn't be explained. Like Parker, many said they had been largely quiet about their sightings for 45 years due to fear of ridicule.
The rekindling of the story also met with favor in the city of Pascagoula. A historical marker was placed along the Pascagoula River and the city now celebrates the event with an annual alien festival in October.
While Parker spent much of his life running from that October night and the attention that came with it, months before his death he told the Clarion Ledger that in hindsight, his life was better for it in a way.
"Under the circumstances now, I'm kind of glad it did happen because I got to meet a lot of people I wouldn't have gotten to meet," he said.
Parker died Aug. 24. He was 68.

CE3K/AEs and Why Ufology is NOT a Science and never will be.
Let me be very clear about something as it is very important and shows why current and past Ufology was very -very- far from a "science" and why that will never change.
Firstly, while the flying saucer believers of the late 1940s and when they got more organised into clubs in the 1950s, accepted that things whizzing about the sky in daylight and at night were very likely from an extra-terrestrial source they were unwilling to listen to reports of landings and encounters.
With an exception: tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Venusians, Saturnians, Uranians and so on. The contactees were the ones spreading the st6ories of visiting "space brothers" and in many cases just reading the accounts showed that they really did not make much sense. There is a big clue in the descriptions of these "space brothers" as well as some of the books, papers and magazines from the 1950s and 1960s that looked down at the "lessers" like Jews and black people. It is no secret if you look into it that contactee organisations were run by right wing, white and quite racist people. It is interesting that those involved in flying saucer 'investigation' promoted these groups that were very unscientific.
There were people who genuinely believed that they had been in contact with space brothers and there were those who found that such accounts could be big earners. Money they found was more interesting than the truth.
Of course for flying saucer groups and the rapidly growing lecture circuit there was no better draw than a contactee and one of the biggest hoaxers was George Adamski who got to travel the world, treated like a celebrity and, of course, "not earning a penny" because this was all about spreading the words of our "space brothers". George Adamski (who 100% was NOT a professor) managed to link up with Flying Saucer review editor Desmond Leslie who was not beyond adding the odd fictional story into FSR. It was Leslie who backed up Adamski's claim of having no navel. Interesting as prior to one 1950s UK event Adamski had to change but with his back to one of the organisers -but the reflection from a mirror near Adamski showed that he did most definitely have a navel.
Leslie and Adamski wrote The Flying Saucers Have Landed in which many historical cases of meteorites, comets, etc suddenly become "manoeuvring disc shaped objects" and all of those reports can be checked at the source and I did so in 1980 and immediately binned the book as being useful for nothing.
Adamski is still hailed by many today in 'scientific' Ufology as genuine -some trying to be vague so as to provide themselves a "get out of gaol" clause "in case".
Contactees were accepted as they pulled in the punters -paying bums on seats and that is what flying saucer and UFO groups wanted. Even in the late 1970s I was chastised at a meeting of the British Flying Saucer Bureau for "speaking ill of Mr. Adamski" while my interest in reports such as those of Betty and Barney Hill were dismissed as "silly stories" (in the Hills case of course it was a "mixed race" couple which offended a few even though both were quite human and no other unknown race was involved). At a talk I was invited to give at the BFSB I was interrupted several times by senior members with "But we know of course from Mr Adamski's account that" and "which is hard to accept as Mr Adamski quite clearly described those people (aliens) he met".
Ufology has always jumped on the band wagon that generates the most cash. Contactees then, as digital cameras emerged, "orbs" and "rods" -all naturally explainable but that type of thing made money and drew people in to talks. The paranormal and UFOs, Bigfoot and UFOs -all these emerging at times when TV or movies promoted paranormal programmes and Bigfoot documentaries. The Spielberg movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a major money-spinner for UFO groups.
Then things waned until Budd Hopkins introduced the false abduction scenario in the early 1980s and that took off. Money was raked in by all sides and then people wanting in on the cash flow started digging out "alien implants" and much more. Those people got in on the lecture circuit and TV gravy train. Every UFO sighting was an alien abduction of a human being no questio9ning allowed. Every pre 1980s CE3K/Entity case was then rebooted to involve "The Greys" including the account of the Hills. People observing a UFO landing and entities that lasted a couple of minutes -they looked at their watches or clocks- were dismissed unless they were willing to accept they had been abducted and undergo hypnosis.
Of course, when the decades of money from abductions started dwindling the 'researchers' sold off private percipient information and even MUFON sold such material (to Robert Bigelow) and big scandals that were washed over by those wanting to keep fat wallets full.
We know that in the United States NICAP (headed by a well known racist, Donald E. Keyhoe) was infiltrated by the CIA. In fact NICAP actively recruited ex intelligence people into top positions so the question is whether this was infiltration or taking over through invitation. Either way Keyhoe lost no money and still had book deals and TV work.
https://terryhooper.blogspot.com/2022/10/donald-keyhoe-and-nicap-counter.html
Look at how the USAF Office of Special Investigation and its main agent, Richard Doty, infiltrated Ufology. It bribed and gave William Moore false information to feed Ufology and it is also rumoured that among the other "prominent Ufologists" Doty gave false info to and also paid were Hopkins and Leonard H Stringfield who told a colleague of mine that his source was in the AFOSI. Doty even helped drive one person, Paul Bennewitz insane. Doty was outed decades ago and was observed talking to Hopkins, David Jacobs and even Vallee at UFO conventions. Conventions where rather than being asked to leave or being a target of verbal abuse he is welcomed and given free reign and allowed to "spill the beans" to those interested.
https://terryhooper.blogspot.com/2022/10/crashed-ufos-counter-intelligence-and.html
How is this all possible? Because Ufology is not and never was a science although it did and does attract scientists to it based on data rather than a belief. Investigation by such scientists soon turn up the truth: the Vallee catalogue of UFO landings involve known hoaxes, weather phenomena and reports never investigated just taken from an odd news item. The Phillips Physical Trace Catalogue, from what can be found -ditto as with Vallee. Ufology itself has not turned out any truly scientific evidence in documents that can be peer reviewed by scientists. Scientists who do ask to see such material are asked "Paying by cheque or card?"
Again, and I have stated this in writing numerous times, although anecdotal (anecdotal evidence is still acceptable to build up a data base) there are still highly rated CE3K events. Looking at my archive only around 2% of all the cases from 1947-2000 were looked into. Major incidents were ignored based on percipients/witnesses being black, single females and even "too far to travel" (within the state) -prejudices and almost a need to not want to believe that there might be living(?) entities in the objects they are supposed to be trying to get to the truth of and find answers -all play a part. 1973 saw a peak in reports and in one short space of time, around the date of the Pascagouls incident, encounters were ignored because those involved were black -the same investigators who flatly refused to look into these cases were willing to travel all across the state for a LITS (Light In The Sky) report when it came from a white person.
Another thing to note is that the UFO Wave is almost certainly a fiction. The 1954 UFO Wave was a mix of misidentifications, newspaper hoaxes and other factors. There were what appear to be genuine incidents but there were not "thousands of "genuine, investigated and documented UFO sightings". Note; that some Italian and French investigators who did look into reports some 35, 40 and 50 years after the event, were quite angry that journalists had got details wrong. They were journalists out to sell newspapers not carry out scientific investigations...that was supposedly the Ufologists job? Even today there are those who are in Ufology "intellectual elite" who openly state that they do all their investigations sat in a comfortable chair and by reading news items and based their findings on those. Why has Ufology not proven UFO reality?
The 1973 "World wide UFO wave" can be seen as per 1954. In fact, a peak(s) in CE3K incidents do not occur in those years but, of course, Ufologists do not notice this obvious fact because there are only the Hills, Walton, Pascagoula CE3Ks...right? All of this means that UFOs are not flying across the sky by the thousands each year but are rarer than is thought -Ufology has created a myth that it pushes as factual such as Thomas Mantell having been shot down while fling a jet by a UFO. Never happened. Roswell and the 65 UFO crashes that I listed before giving up -never happened.
https://terryhooper.blogspot.com/2022/12/check-facts-do-not-be-deceived.html
And we know that British Ufologists from the 1970s on faked UFO incidents -sightings and encounters- and were caught out at a UFO conference. No push-back from Ufology and they have never stated which reports were faked or for what reason meaning that from the 1970s on all UFO reports are marked as "dubious" unless personally investigated.
Fraudsters are running Ufology and people have no problem with that. Why hear the truth when fantasy is more Dr Who or X Files orientated and fun? Look at the 'genuine' interest in these reports -my books do not sell because they are not sensationalist lies. The UFO history series of books Haunted Skies I cannot recommend enough but sales are hardly there. Why? Because they are not published in an era where people want to learn and educate themselves with facts.
I have spent from 1974 looking at these reports and it is depressing to see that some are simply 2-4 lines from a newspaper and that is it. Ufology has also been very good at sweeping good reports under the carpet because they do not fit in with the prevailing crowd. This is why individuals get more done because they are not jumping on the money wagon -which is how you make money in Ufology.
Ufology is NOT a Science and never will be.

Notes On: Antonio La Rubia's abduction by robot-like beings and UFO encounter in P...
Notes on La Rubia case
We have a case here in which so much happened in such a very small amount of time. I think that this falls into the Alan Godfrey category where a great deal is said to have happened in an impossibly short time. How or why we can’t really say though perhaps tired, bored but La Rubia then slipped into a dream state (this type of instance is well documented in the files).
From talking to such persons, who can recall everything, it is 100% an actual physical experience but in fact is not. When we are dealing with a single percipient we have to be cautious and in this case it seems that a medical and psychological check revealed La Rubia to be healthy and normal -what he was feeling was based in his psyche not reality or would have been detected.
It is an interesting case but only from the psychological point of view. Did anyone check to see whether La Rubia had ever seen a ghost or anything else unusual? After his initial interview was contact kept with him?
I can find no similar entities reported in cases and unless similar can be unearthed and act as corroboration in some way this case is closed.
