How Many Categories Do We Need?

 I only use one category and that is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. According to Dr J Allen Hynek:

CE IIIK -UFO encounters in which an animated entity is present—these include humanoids, robots, and humans who seem to be occupants or pilots of a UFO

That is it. It is all you need.

However, Ted Bloecher could be considered the father of this type of report and pioneering work that attempted to get conservative Ufologists to take the incidents seriously. Bloecher suggested six sub-types for the close encounters of the third kind in Hynek's scale:^[

1. Aboard: an entity is observed only inside the UFO.
2. Both: an entity is observed inside and outside the UFO.
3. Close: an entity is observed near to a UFO, but not going in or out.
4. Direct: an entity is observed—no UFOs are seen by the observer, but UFO activity has been reported in the area at about the same time.
5. Excluded: an entity is observed, but no UFOs are seen and no UFO activity has been reported in the area at that time.
6. Frequence: no entity or UFOs are observed, but the subject experiences some sort of "intelligent communication".

I would argue regarding E; we have had report after report in which (and here we are supposing that this is all real and not pure pig-swill) objects and even entities observed by one person vanish of a second possible witness (a vehicle driver usually) approaches and they then reappear. I think that, based on our great lack of knowledge, if an entity conforms to descriptions in other reports then it needs to be included until a reason is found to exclude it.

Just to anger the fantasy prone people and grifters; "Bigfoot", "Moth man", "Mystery animals" etc., etc., are automatically excluded.

F we have a good few of but I would consign these to either psychological problems and even some form of dream state. In fifty years I have never come across any case that appears to be authentic telepathic intelligent communication. I do list these but they offer zero information regarding UFOs but a great deal on human psychology (and, no, I am not saying they are all "nuts").

Note that "abduction by entities" is not given a sub-type. It can be argued that B would cover that and it would have been interesting top see what Bloecher and his colleague on creating The Humanoid Catalogue (HUMCAT) David Webb might have come up with. Bloecher retired in the early 1980s and passed all of his work over to (very sadly) Budd Hopkins and Hopkins passed all of that along to David Jacobs so from the mid 1980s on things became a mess and eventually a grift.

I would not use the term "UFO abduction" any more but rather "Onboard experience" as in most cases there is no force or abduction.  In many cases it could be that partial recall or garbled recall via hypnosis by unprofessional Ufologists is creating the false "dragged aboard a UFO" narrative.

That written it has to be pointed out that there is the "mouse-trap" encounter. Stanford, Kentucky, 1976 and the Shamrock Cafe, UK, 1981 are typical of these. In both cases the three women were driving home and an object literally appeared out of nowhere -from a field or behind trees- and pounced. Car and passengers seized.  In these cases there is no question of it being a "Would you come aboard for a quick examination and we'll show you the ship at the same time?"

These seem to be chance incidents. In wildlife work we call it "opportunistic" -a car with the right sort of people are going along a road where an object has landed and it appears to be a deliberate "let's see if we can get lucky" routine (many incidents we may never hear of as percipients cannot remember or do not want to talk about it.

If we look at what is called the Kelly Cahill case from Australia then at least three cars and the occupants thereof were taken in a perfect mouse-trap sweep. In these cases (if true -I have to keep putting that there otherwise the uptight folk start screaming) there can be no question that these are forced onboard experiences -my next book (and the previous four) deals with several such encounters.

I class all of them as CE3K and those in which only an entity is seen is classed as Alien Entity.  Ufology is not and never has been a science despite some great researchers having been involved. Using lots of categories makes them think the public and journalists will think they are scientists or experts. Last CE3K category I saw suggested was CEXK...at that point I hit "delete".

And remember that percipients speaking to you does not make them the next book. They want anonymity then you give them anonymity.

Fifth And Final Book

 

One of the chapters in the next book is probably going to be titled; "Reports We Shouldn't Talk About?" and there are going to be some rarities in it which even the more seasoned UFO enthusiast is likely never to have heard of.

In fact, for this fifth book on CE3K/AE I have pulled out a lot of material not published before or known only to a very few people. No sensationalism needs to be added to the encounter reports as as possibly the last book on this aspect of Ufology I think the five volumes will be the most comprehensive guide to these cases you will ever find.

CE3Ks -Some Quick Notes

 

I have just been glancing through a very interesting catalogue of CE3Ks and the one thing I noticed was:

 "He/She had gone to bed when..." 

and:

 "At night they were woken in their beds..." 

or even: "...had difficulty getting to sleep when...." 

And:

 "the were lying out in the sun when--"

What is being described is sleep paralysis and hypnagogia and it is far from rare,  A person will experience vivid hallucinations as they fall asleep or just before falling asleep. These can be images, smells, tastes, tactile sensations, or sounds. A person may also feel as though they are moving while their body is still. This sensation could be a feeling of falling or flying.

Some sceptics use this to debunk most CE3K reports and media often like promoting that as it makes them look good and as if they are not falling for "silly stories". A number of Ufologists also adopt this as an explanation and in 95% of cases they have never talked to the percipient or carried out any research other than a basic internet search for accounts.

Many Ufologists, astronomers and some others are actually afraid that there might be alien visitations for various reasons. They will even ignore testimony from unrelated to percipient second and third parties of UFO activity at the stated time and in the area of the encounter because "was it over that persons house? No!"  In the Stanford, Kentucky case someone phoned police to say that there was a car on the road being chased by a large light object -how many have actually mentioned this? One back at the time (1976).

It would be nice to be able to state that all such reports are sleep paralysis or altered states and I tried that on so many cases. Never worked. We can easily start identifying hypnagogia cases and it makes the task of research easier but if you ignore every other aspect of a case to just stamp it altered state/sleep paralysis then you lack credibility and some Ufologists have made careers and good money out of non-stop debunking of UFOs -because they are debunkers but calling themselves Ufologists makes them think they are seen as experts with an open mind.

If we start highlighting the hypnagogia cases then we start getting down to the interesting reports and around 90% of those were never investigated because of Ufologists not wanting to get involved in "silly stories".

Note also that in many onboard encounters the percipients may get flashbacks as a type of post traumatic stress and these are seen as second, third or fourth encounters when they are not.

For myself I use only the term Close Encounter of the Third Kind as the categorisation mania is simply there to aid the false impression that Ufology is a science which it never has or will be. 

I have also started using the term "onboard experience" rather than "abduction" as it is possible that in many cases the "abduction" part of an encounter is a false memory.

British Ufologists; Keep Your Records For Posterity and In The UK

 I think that it is quite clear now that the UK needs its own national UFO archive. So much has been sent abroad that is now lost to UK researchers; thousands of BUFORA documents and reports are with the AFU in Sweden and BUFORA refuses to allow access to the material citing data protection. That BUFORA has no ide4a what it had before 2010 does not help and neither does the fact that the digitalised records handed to them are now..."somewhere".

All of Contact UK files are in Sweden. Again, we cannot get access to those. For years British Ufologists and others have handed their files over and so what should be British UFO history is lost. The AFU cannot supply digitized archives and that includes of FSR material.

Is there an alternative?  Yes, and it is already up and running -the British UFO Learning Centre run by UFO historian and investigator John Hanson. No need to book an air ticket or hotels to travel overseas so that is a lot of money saved.

Above: Harry Harris on a TV programme in the 1990s

One thing we appear to have lost are the records of the late Harry Harris. The name should be familiar to Ufologists as he was involved in the Lynda Jones, Shamrock Cafe and Linda Taylor UFO abduction cases.  Harris had taped recordings of hypnosis sessions, reports and much more but these appear to be lost "somewhere" and those are valuable historical records.

Above: possible UFO abductee Linda Taylor with Harris.

Sadly, as so many of the old UFO scene pass away their records are either dumped or sent abroad and although the AFU have undertaken a great task it means that so much is lost to UK researchers.   

We have also "lost" many people who were involved in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and abduction experiences.  Not lost as in died (though a few have now) but because once they were used to get a story or book they were no longer required and Ufologists never kept in touch and so talking to these people years on to see how their lives continued or changed is impossible.  

We need an archive to tell their stories as well as preserve an historical record for future generations before we lose everything.

If you are a Ufologist or retired researcher/investigator then PLEASE contact John to preserve your history.

France's chilling incident: The Mozin Case

Well, Try As I Might I Cannot Explain This One

 I was working until after 0200 hrs on a chapter to the next book and it involved child witnesses (the oldest was 11 years old) so I thought it would make a good filler and leave the reader to decide on whether it was true or not.

After all -what can you learn from kids?

I started typing the conclusion and stopped. I went back and re-read the report. Here is what I wrote:

"The female entity vanishing as the police car drew closer; we have heard in reports that an object or entity vanished when a vehicle approaches only to reappear after the vehicle passes. How would those children know about this component of UFO encounters?

"The odd silence that surrounded the area is yet another component of UFO close encounters; again -how would those children know that?

"Another yet another component of some close encounters is the “slow motion movement” and that again means we have to ask how they would have known about this?"

It seems that even Bloecher, basically the father of CE3K investigation, had not come across those components as he never even mentioned them and had he known about them I have no doubt that he would have as he was thorough.

THREE components to CE3Ks that youngsters could not have known about and then ...I also realised that the object they drew was remarkably similar to one drawn by two witness from May, 1974 -in the UK. There was also a similarity in the entities seen (but I am 50-50 on that).

From a chapter asking whether youngsters are good witnesses I ended up with a case that deserves a High Strangeness rating.

Anyway, that woke me up at 0200 hrs and I have been thinking about possible explanations since and, honestly, they had no access to foreign UFO literature, there was no internet or You Tube and no US TV show (there were only occasional lengthy documentaries) dealt with the UK case or aspects of CE3K so.

 I am stumped.

"with arms outstretched" Felixstowe, Suffolk 1965

Note: I would recommend that anyone looking for a good factual history of UFOs including many lost accounts, go look for  volumes of The Haunted Skies

__________________________________________________________________________

At around 22:30 hours on the 20^th September, 1965, in Felixstowe, Suffolk, three young people, Michael Johnson and Mavis Fordyce, and the car driver Geoffrey Maskey parked in Walton Avenue.  They were chatting when Michael suddenly opened his door and rushed out without a word of explanation. His friends were initially disconcerted but thought that he perhaps needed to “answer the call of nature”.

After a few minutes Geoffrey and Mavis heard a high pitched humming sound and saw, some 30 meters (100 feet) away, a very luminous, orange oval shaped object, approximately 2 meters long.  Accounts state that this “hovered above the car” or “Moved across the road” while illuminating the surrounding landscape in an orange gleam. The object moved fast and was lost from sight behind some trees though its sound remained clearly audible.

After a few minutes, as they recovered from surprise, the duo realized that Michael had not returned and became anxious; they called out to him, in vain and drove in reverse along the lane and called out to him again –still getting no response. But then Michael finally appeared looking shocked and was staggering with his hands clutching at his head. His friends first thought was that he was playing some joke, but he then collapsed onto the road. He was unconscious and so Geoffrey and Mavis got him into the car rushed him to the hospital in Felixstowe.

At the hospital Michael regained consciousness but was unable to recognise his friends. The doctors diagnosed a serious shock and took care of his wounds: burn marks on the neck and a contusion above the right ear. For safety, he was transferred to the hospital in Ipswich which was better equipped. The next day he could go home as he was lucid again.

He told his friends that when he had suddenly left the car without a word it was him obeying an unknown and pressing "force". He was uncertain how far he had walked but had suddenly been confronted by a humanoid entity with large oblique and luminous eyes, surrounded by orange flames. He had no memories of what happened next until he woke up at the hospital.

It seems that the doctors scoffed at the story and joked about “Martians” while suggesting that the light they had seen was the flame from a propane gas works stack –this they all vehemently denied -and the newspapers, tipped off by a “ufological source”, had not taken the incident seriously either.

When I first read this case I obviously asked Flying Saucer Review what had been discovered since the incident. I got the now oh so familiar “That’s all there was to it” response. Had investigators even checked with doctors at the two hospitals –it seems not…but they could run off to the press.

An image published in conjunction with later retellings -possibly from the 1980s Unexplained magazine?

Again, decades later, John Hanson and Dawn Holloway of the Haunted Skies Project decided to try to find out what had happened. In this case they tracked down Geoffrey Maskey who gave them a more factual account:

“I was with my girlfriend, Mavis Forsyth, driving along Walton Avenue,

Felixstowe, at 10.30 pm, with my friend –Michael Johnson. ‘Mick’ asked

me to stop the car because he needed to attend to a call of nature. After a

few minutes had elapsed, I began to wonder what had happened to him,

especially when we heard what sounded like a mixture of very weird noises

and a high-pitched humming noise, followed by the appearance of an orange,

glowing, object lighting up part of the road, as it headed off eastwards, over

Walton Avenue, towards the coast.

“Now worried, I reversed the car up and down the road, with the window open,

calling out his name.

“About fifteen minutes later, Mick staggered out of the hedge at the side of the road,

clutching the back of his neck, and fell onto the ground –apparently unconscious.

“We managed to put Mick, who had a noticeable burn mark on the back of his

neck, into the Vanguard car and rushed him to Felixstowe Hospital.

“After arriving at the Hospital, and explaining to the casualty staff what had

happened, he became the butt of much humour, being referred to as the ‘Martian’

by his friends. Mick, who seemed completely oblivious to what was going on, seemed to

have some sort of fit and tried to take his clothes off, flaying his arms about.

It required the strength of three or four members of staff to restrain him, before

He was taken away for treatment”.

Geoffrey telephoned the hospital the next morning and was told that Michael had been treated for “severe shock” and he was told that no one could visit him. Five days later Michael was discharged from hospital; Geoffrey saw that the burn mark had now disappeared from his friend’s neck.  Michael told his friend what had happened:

“I remember seeing a glowing silver/orange object descending next to where

I was stood, about 12 feet above me. Standing on the side of the ‘craft’ were

two humanoid figures wearing steel coloured suits, with arms outstretched at

chest height, showing long pointed fingers. I saw them go back into the ‘craft’,

and the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital”.

It seems that the police had checked the area out but found nothing unusual.

These are the facts and facts that the flying saucer fraternity should have known about at the time had they spoken to one of the trio. Dr Bernard Finch wrote at the end of Charles Bowen’s very brief piece:“Several interesting points emerge from this episode. We have an example of

‘selective attraction’. Why, we ask, was it only Michael Johnson and not the

others who appeared to be attracted to the object?

“Again, the other two sitting in the car appear to have been protected

(or insulated) from the emanating force field : again, the effect of the force

field appears remarkable in the fact that according to its intensity (or distance from

source), so the effect varies from simple peripheral nerve paralysis to major

interruption of cerebration, resulting in loss of consciousness, shock and loss

of memory.”

I do so love how Finch got away with such utter fantastical bilge and fantasy and all based on a newspaper clipping because it is very obvious that this is what the UFO ‘expert’ had to pontificate on. Had he talked to any of the people involved he would have found out just what Michael recalled taking place –even the part about the doctors referring to Michael as the ‘Martian’ is incorrect. But this fine ufological tradition of investigating a case by newspaper clippings continues over fifty years later.

If there is one thing that I have learnt, backed up by John Hanson’s own findings, is that ufology rarely bothered getting involved in leg work and the nonsense that Finch spouted shows exactly why science never takes ufology seriously. Exactly what “emanating force field” and how does the effect vary? Then we have “the other two sitting in the car appear to have been protected (or insulated) from the emanating force field”; well that is interesting because there is then the question of just how were Geoffrey and Mavis “protected (or insulated)” –Michael was in the same car. But this is where the lack of any investigation shows since Michael did not “suddenly rush out of the car”.

For over fifty years ufology has been quoting ‘facts’ that are wrong simply because someone –Finch and Bowen- sat in their chairs and “investigated by newspaper clipping”; no one thought to look into the report in more detail. When I tried in the mid 2000’s to see if I could find any of those involved it seemed older locals knew about the incident but ask if Mavis, Geoffrey or Michael still lived in the area: “No idea”. Well, we know that Geoffrey does still live in the area but locals tend to keep tight-lipped when you start asking questions.

As for Michael, we can only hope that this was a one time encounter and that after it he got on with his life. The question really has to be whether after something like this, when you can’t remember what happened, can you get on with your life normally?

I hope Michael has.

Hypnosis -think about its use.

 I have written as well as said on many occasions that any person conducting regressive hypnosis on a person suspected to have lost time during a UFO encounter should not be a person interested ort active in studying UFOs. The person should definitely not be a Ufologist.

The late D. Scott Rogo wrote (UFO Report – April, 1980):

"Being a parapsychologist, I am keenly aware of the fact that the hypnotic state makes a person particularly open to telepathic impressions.There is a great deal of experimental as well as anecdotal evidence to this effect. While regressing Jo, could she have picked up telepathic cues from my mind which she elaborated into false memories of a UFO abduction?"

In fact, Dr Leo Sprinkle also stated later on in his work that he feared a possible "abductee" under hypnosis may have had thoughts transferred to them from his mind during hypnotic sessions. 

If -if- we assumed that Budd Hopkins was not stacking the decks and faking things or passing on things as evidence that he knew 100% were fake then it could explain his early findings. I have absolutely no doubt that at the very start he was truly investigating and trying to find out what was going on. When and where he went off the rails is a matter for debate.

A hypnotist should not have a head full of preconceived notions about UFOs and abductions because if -IF- transference of thoughts is even a possibility it could lead to many incorrect conclusions. It is a reason why I have and would exclude myself from being in on any such sessions. We have to ensure that any information recalled is a genuine recollection. Sessions where a Ufologist carries out regression hypnosis with 2-3 other Ufologists present create a massive problem if Sprinkle, Rogo et al are correct.

We are, supposedly, here to find the truth or at least clues as to what is going on in these encounters -the reason that the Hills' hypnotic regression sessions stand up so well is that Dr. Benjamin had no knowledge of UFOs and still did not believe in them after the sessions. He is, therefore, unlikely to have polluted any recall with "thought transference".

Look at it this way; there is a Ufologist in the UK who claims to have uncovered hundreds of abduction experiences each year. No one is allowed to see the evidence of this and even alleged percipient statements he re-writes in his own words 'so as to protect the witness'. Right there he has totally discredited himself and what he is doing. This person also takes a hypnotherapist with him on first meeting any witness and those witnesses must agree to undergo preliminary hypnosis at that first meeting. This is totally unethical (but then it is Ufology).

Any potential UFO witness needs to first talk to the investigator person-to-person so that they are relaxed and feel comfortable. Only then should the person be asked to recount what they can recall of their sighting. If it does seem as though there is missing time then telling them they need to be hypnotised outright is not a good idea. There are techniques that can be suggested to see whether the witness can get some recall. It should be noted that if the witness is undergoing anxiety and stress then hypnosis can be used to relieve that but not to immediately begin interrogating them.

I know I "play the same old tune" but if a witness is in fact a percipient in an onboard experience then they have had their entire world view smashed apart. A Close Encounter of the Second Kind can shatter a world view based on "its all silly flying saucer stories" so imagine what a CE3K would do.  How many people involved in CE3K events do you suppose remain in contact with investigators after the initial fuss and then the book  or lecture tours are out of the way?  Perhaps 1-2% if I am being generous.

The percipients in the best cases have passed away and did Ufology know or report on their passing? No. Louise Smith, Elaine Thomas, Antonio Villas Boas, Jean Hingley, Val Walters -the list goes on and on. In my books I try as hard as I can to find out what happened to percipients and note their deaths -shockingly, I found much od Ufology had not even heard that the last percipient in the 1973 Pascagoula encounter, Calvin Parker, had passed away.

We have to treat people in these encounters as human beings and not cash cows. Hypnosis should not just be jumped into at a first meeting or even a second meeting and in many cases I would suggest that it is only considered if and when the person involved asks whether it is worth trying.

There are a number of cases on file that bear all the tell-tale signs of missing time experiences and in some cases there are witnesses to a UFO.  I would not even suggest to them that they may have had onboard experiences and memory loss. They have gotten on with their lives and the incident is recalled as a UFO sighting and put to the back of their minds.  What right do I have to open a whole can of worms that these people then have to live with as I get on with other things?

Ufologists tend to jump to hypnosis as the "best tool for the job" without considering any of the implications of its use and, yes, that has gotten me some rather angry responses from Ufologists who consider what they want far more important than the witness.

Hypnosis -think about its use.  

Stanford and Eupora

 Mona Stafford, the last living member of the trio in the 1976 Stanford, Kentucky UFO abduction case was last interviewed by LEX18 TV on 15th July, 2011.

The deaths of Elaine Thomas and Louise Smith had not even been noted by Ufology -in fact most Ufologists I spoke to had not heard of the case.

I have now asked LEX18 if they can tell me whether Stafford is still alive and if not whether they can find a date for her passing.

My next move is to see whether any of the witnesses to the 1973 Eupora, Mississippi CE3K event are still alive. They were blatantly ignore despite requests from Ted Bloecher and Hynek because they were all "black".

I really want to find witnesses to UK events but that's like running at a brick wall repeatedly.

Learn about who/what may be behind the UFOs instead.

 

Just going through the final edit of what will be my fifth book on CE3K/AE cases I have to admit that there is still very little respect for this type of work.  

If you go onto most search engines and type in "UFOs Close Encounters of the Third Kind" all you will get is the 1977 Spielberg movie.  Seriously, try it. UFO sightings, faked photos and footage you can find a junkyard full of. You can find many blogs and videos about sightings of objects -oddly these are all taken seriously but add in an entity and you'll see the negativity and ignorance explode. Scam conspiracy and other claims and -everywhere. 

What does the report of an unknown object tell you? 

It was an un known object.

All of the "cover up" and other conspiracy stuff is NOT designed to get to the truth about UFOs. It's to sell books, get on TV and make money.  

All of the faked debris from a UFO -to con money out of people. I have pieces of such debris and even a preliminary analysis carried out by an independent (of me) lab. No interest.

What will tell us far, far more than any money-spinning disclosure project or fake piece of metal  is to learn who/what is controlling the objects seen around the planet. That can tell us far more than any other aspect of UFOs because we are then looking at what used to be termed "the operators".  What can we surmise from their appearances and how much further advanced are they compared to us? We have stealth aircraft designed by a few people but 97% of the human race has no idea how stealth aircraft work so a superior craft does not mean superior race/intellect.

Most UFO groups (except for the outright exploiters who fake report after report) tend to push their CE3K/AE reports out of the way once they have exploited them  to pull in more paying readers or members quickly. BUFORA (British UFO Research Association) had absolutely no idea how to tackle these cases. It totally ruled out regression hypnosis in time loss cases while some of its better known members used hypnosis as it helped  with selling the next book.

There are major United States cases that people have no idea about because, despite their faults, the only organisation cataloguing and investigating these reports was the Lorensens' APRO and when they passed away and APRO closed down that was it. Even the Centre for UFO Studies (CUFOS) lacks reports on major incidents -I have forwarded copies of some.

Are CE3K cases only used for exploitation?  Ask an investigator how the abductee he/she wrote that book on is doing. Chances are high that he/she has no idea "Not been in touch with them in years" -because they were exploited until they had no more to give. Some have passed away and the investigators did not even know.

Let us assume that all of the reports of landings and CE3K are true. Those involved are actually historical figures taking part in historical events...they are worth a paragraph in a UFO magazine or book while those getting the "full treatment" are not as important as the book author.

How the hell does that make any sense? The person who had the encounter is exploited then forgotten while the man/woman writing the book gets all of the accolades and money?

In every case I write about I try to at least add an update on the witness/percipient and each one that passes needs to be remembered. I go for the facts and truth and for me that is all that matters while remembering that those involved are human beings and they have had their world views and lives shattered in many cases and are then left to get on with their lives.

Forget the money making fictions and schemes to exploit the "suckers". Learn about who/what may be behind the UFOs instead.

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorensen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

2017 is the time to assess the past evidence and look at the faults within Ufology.

Not everyone is going to be happy -debunkers or ufologists.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

1973 –Year of the “Global UFO Wave” 

1973 –The “Year of the Humanoids” 

1973 –The year of the Pascagoula alien abduction claim 

1973 –Several witnesses observed two Unidentified Flying Objects: one temporarily landed on a US Interstate road while the other hovered close-by. An entity appeared from the landed object. A car driver approaching from the opposite direction stops, turns his/her car and races off. This is classed as a Major Incident in Ufology. 

1973 –a driver observes a landed UFO and entities and opens fire with his gun when he felt threatened. A High Strangeness account. 

Neither of these cases was investigated despite requests for local investigators to do so. Even in 2020 the idea of opening up either as a cold case was flatly Rejected by America’s ‘top UFO investigation’ group. 

Reports now probably lost to history. 

1973 –a year in which UFO reports from African-Americans were frowned upon and ignored. Nothing has changed.
