Yes, a British UFO Group Destroyed an RAF Confirmation of a UFO Picked Up On Radar

 

I have been asked about the above photo a few times.  One UFO group posted it around once and stated that it proved that I was in the military as I was wearing a uniform and the pullover had an arm insignia on it. Blue jeans and dark green top with a tiny dot print defect which is not a military insignia!  Also...that shirt...even in black and white is not going to pass as being in-keeping with military regs!  

This is a photo of me at RAF Manston and that is one of its radar huts in the background. This was circa 1979.  What was I doing at RAF Manston? None of your business😎 In 1979, despite what UFO groups will tell you (because they do no real research and just "cut and paste" inaccuracies others have posted) was a peak in accounts of CE3K/AE reports. 

In December motorists in Kent, where RAF Manston is, reported seeing not just a UFO but also a silver suited "chimp-like alien" walking alongside the road. The British UFO Research Association told me that report was being looked into. In fact, they never even attempted to contact or find the drivers who made the reports. Newsclipping 'investigation'.  

For my part I did check and by the time I found BUFORA had done nothing months had passed and witnesses were less likely to come forward. However, I did receive a response from RAF Manston about the UFO sighting. A Flight Lieutenant quite openly, in writing, stated that their radar had detected a UFO at the time of the sighting. I wrote up a report and sent it to BUFORA but "it seems to have gone missing at research HQ" -nothing sinister as that happened before and after.  

The group I had founded, UFO International (actually the first contacted about Rendlesham Forest and the UFO report) had a copy on file so off I went on 'holiday'.  Two weeks later I was back and the report and several CE3K reports were missing. I asked who had them and was told "They went in the fire -we don't want to be tainted by t6hat UFO-nut stuff".  Yes, actual written confirmation of a UFO seen by multiple witnesses having been picked up by RAF radar had been destroyed.  At that point I actually exploded with anger and it was later that I found out those who were running the group while I was away had also created very bad relations with other groups.

It was this that led to my decision to just concentrate on the AOP Bureau work and AE/CE3K study by myself.  Looking through the UK files there are very few complete reports -even from the self proclaimed "elite"- and when you add in that from the late 1970s on fake reports were circulated by "respected Ufologists" who even after exposure in the 1990s refused to explain why they did this. In fact in the 2000s they remain silent meaning that their books and work are all held as highly suspect.

I know I am currently averaging zero responses to requests made here but; if anyone has more information on the "space chimp" sightings please get in touch and -I am still hoping the percipients in the Buckfastleigh case read or hear about my appeal to hear from them.  Something major was happening that night in Devon.

What Is In A Descriptive Term?

 Someone was, I guess, mildly offended by my use of the term "black entities". There are colours ands there are negatives -black and white. As the entities in the reports discussed are not on the colour spectrum they are a negative and in this case black. 

 I had thought of various terms to use but "negative entities" raises a lot of problems. 

 If you have a hang up on word usage and your mind attaches the wrong significance to terminology that is your problem to deal with.

“Something Was Taken From Me: The Cumberland Encounter” | Paranormal St...

Here we have a common problem. The story came from a UFO author. Who else has seen the personal communications that led up to this story being told?

The author may have been contacted by Bill, we just do not know. Bill may have just been spinning a yarn -did he give Joe's full name? Was that checked and did the author check to see that Joe had died as he was told? Was any contact attempted with the other 'witnesses' -they might not have wanted to talk about it but just a "can you confirm yes or no that this happened and we'll end things there".

There are far too many of these accounts that online sources and You Tube promoted as though there is no doubt and that they did take place based on an author or Ufologist's account.

To verify any case I report on I have two people who can confirm seeing correspondence or the file and confirming that I am reporting accurately.

The stories all sound great but then you ask "Was this all checked?" and then you realise it is NOT "UFO evidence" but an unconfirmed story.

Some Words on a Friday Night

Last month this blog had 3960 visitors while the all time views stand at 33564.  With that kind of interest the lack of book sales on the subject covered here is very disappointing.  Even the AOP Journal that specialises in AE/CE3K encounters can count the number of sales using two fingers!  It's why I stopped with issue 5 because each issue takes a lot of time to put together.

Disappointing as I wrote but it makes it clear that new books on the subject are definitely on the back-burner/cancelled.  

Probably the other biggest disappointment is, I think I have mentioned before, the total lack of cooperation from Ufologists -the AFU in Sweden have been very helpful but I don't think they call themselves Ufologists.  Also, reader feedback or questions -even forwarding details of reports in case I have not recorded them; equally disappointing. 

In Beyond UFO Contact: Aliens From Beyond Time & Space I dealt with the Imjarvi skiers case. That covered nine pages but I really want to expand that at some point because Heinonen's later claims need looking into and they are quite complex. Incidentally, if you speak Finnish and want to help the AFU translate what they have in the archive on this case get in touch.  

Several times I have appealed to readers for suggestions of obscure AE/CE3K reports they have heard of but want to know more about. That request was never answered on any of the occasions but it would be interesting to hear suggestions -catch me to answer while I am still here!!   

If you have any questions then leave a comment BUT I will not answer anonymous people for very specific reasons and lessons learnt the hard way.

The Imjarvi Encounter

The 1970 Imjarvi skiers encounter (see previous post/video is one that has fascinated me since I first heard about it in the 1970s.  Flying Saucer Review published what it wanted and that was that the case was purely a possible extraterrestrial encounter. Anything after that first reporting was ignored.

It never fit in with the what FSR wanted.

To be honest, when I got the old AFU Newsletters back in 1980 I read them. Read them again. Then again and I just thought to myself "Was all this psychological?"  Well, no it was not. The physiological effects, etc., were quite real and at the time I wondered whether there was any time loss involved because there was something missing. . Just reading the account once had me scratching my head as it was similar to watching a 30 minutes long TV show with 10 minutes cut half way through.

As the AFU state; much more information may be in the archive file which is large but everything is in Finnish and Finnish is known as one of the most difficult languages to learn and I have tried over the last couple decades!

The English language information we have from the AFU Newsletter seems strange and bizarre and only came from one of the percipients -Heinonen. This creates problems in that the rather conservative and narrow-minded Ufologists cannot accept the case at all. If they did then they would have to accept Heinonen's later claims. Well, yes but it is not all black and white.

I have written extensively on the psychological impact on percipients of these encounters. I am quite sure in that large Finnish language file there is more information and here we may have one explanation for Heinonen's claims.

The first is that more happened than can be recalled or than is reported in English language sources. If -and this is only speculation as there is no known evidence of this- there was an abduction experience with suppressed memory then what Heinonen later reported could be confused recollections.

The second possible explanation, since Heinonen was the most physically and psychologically affected by what happened and he appears to have tried everything to get help and even later when he hit hard times he was trying to find answers. Society in the 1970s/1980s was certainly not willing or even wanting to help someone injured in a UFO incident. Contacting the Swedish Ufologists he was certainly not being paid for his story.

The way he was affected was Heinonen having some type of post traumatic Stress disorder experiences. Something triggering "flash-back" and creating the new events in his mind.  Certainly Charles Hickson after the 1973 Pascagoula, Mississippi encounter began to make other claims and also began -if true- to drink more heavily. 

When it comes to encounters we are dealing with normal human beings, some who previously joked about and mocked others who had a CE3K experience and these events would be shattering their entire world view and all they thought that they knew. That in itself would have a major psychological impact. Ufologists are mainly getting the money/publicity earning "abduction" story and very rarely even keep in touch with percipients unless to see if "more has happened" ($$$).

The lack of ethics and any type of ethical treatment of percipients I have written on before. The lack of interest in helping percipients with physiological and seeming PTSD after events getting help is commonplace.

I think that any Ufologist who speaks Finnish willing to contact the AFU might find more information but as it stands this is a high strangeness report but as with a lot of such reports Ufology has failed to fully investigate and report on (oh, and American Ufologists need to understand that these events take place around the world not just in the United States).

A terribly scary encounter in the forest

Unexplained close encounter with a UFO in Sweden 1987

The Search for Real UFO Evidence Died Because of Ufologists.

 

i first became interested in UFOs while at school and in 1975 joined the then British UFO Research Association and from that time until I left it was a non-stop struggle to get anyone to take the subject of "Time Loss" (as I termed them) reports and even after Hynek's "legitimising" the subject with his Close Encounters categories it was still a struggle. 

My "crackpot" work (as some called it began back then and it is in its 50th year which is bloody scary.  The files bulge out and I have had to stop adding to them since it seems they are still not taken seriously. 

This is not stamp collecting where you are doing nothing but collecting and certainly my books have not been one of those Year-by-year books with all the errors and hoax cases included. If I look at a report I try to gather as much information as possible before drawing, if I can, any conclusion. 

One thing I have written about before is the collective sit-on-your-ass work conducted by "Ufologists"  -Hickson and Parker had an alleged alien abduction experience in 1973 and in that same week so a number of other people had very close encounters. Ufologists were tripping over each other and grabbing "You're Next" tickets to interview them. The other percipients?  No one wanted to bother. They were all "black" people and, you know, you just had to ignore them. This has happened time and again and shows why Ufology and Ufologists cannot ever be taken seriously as a science or people working in a science.

As more time passes so too do witnesses and percipients who no one spoke to such as those involved in the Eupora incident or Kathy Reeves who must now be in her late 70s?  Once gone we have lost their testimony and that is evidence lost.   And, yes, I have tried repeatedly over 10 years to get someone involved in UFO investigation to follow up these reports as cold cases and every time I hit a brick wall. 

It is frustrating and depressing and quite honestly makes me want to get certain Ufologists and kick them in the ass.

We have to face it; the search for real UFO evidence (not grifter fakery) died because of Ufologists.
