I mentioned previously that the CE3K/AE file for the United States was completely out of proportion to any other file. Looking at European reports combined the total number still does not exceed those from the United States.
Here I am photographed risking a wrist fracture holding the old United States file.
The problem comes when you go through the cases one-by-one. Most of the modern online accounts are said to have "been investigated by (insert name)". However, if you go back to the original sources you read these 'investigators" stating that "according to news reports" and "looking over the news accounts".
They never 'investigated' any case -everything was investigated by press cuttings. This was and still is the preferred method of ufologists. I have mentioned before how ufologists, deciding to look at a case 20 or so years after the event, have criticized journalists for not thoroughly investigating a case or leaving out details. Yes, you see, journalists are there to fill news columns and I have yet to meet any that have accurately reported on a case: journalists are not there to investigate UFO reports -that, supposedly, is what the ufologists are supposed to do.
Even when ufologists do get involved a report is rarely investigated. The ufologist(s) get what they want and move on.
For instance: the 2nd November, 1973, UFO encounter of Lyndia Morel, near to Goffstown, New Hampshire. It is often referred to online and in print and there are references to "abduction" and "missing time! Walter Webb, of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) and Betty Hill (the Betty Hill) looked into the case and their final report ends with Morel pulling into a driveway of a house (fearing she was going to be abducted) and alerting the household -the occupiers contacted the police and an officer duly arrived on the scene. Everyone, including the cop, saw the UFO. Well, not if you read the actual report because it is made quite clear that the object they were observing was the planet Mars.
That is where the story ends. Seriously, no abduction indicated. No missing time. Case concluded.
And that seems to have been the end of this "thoroughly investigated UFO abduction". My question has to be "What happened?" No follow-ups or attempts to see whether Morel later recalled something had happened?
This was an 'investigated' case and there are many more like this. There are far more that were never investigated before and after because the report involved "little green men" -Lorenzens were only really interested in abduction reports (as outlined in UFO Contact?) and what they could get out of those cases, not necessarily for science!
There are many hundreds of reports that just would not pass scrutiny. This feeds into the hands of debunkers and "sceptical ufologists" (debunkers).
Below, the US file with each little tab denoting a report.
There is absolutely no way that I intend to include post 1980s "alien abductions" -again, my thoughts on this are covered in UFO Contact? but the major problem is that the work of noted "abduction researchers" such a John Carpenter, Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs have now had their work discredited and each aspect of the "Grey Alien Abduction Agenda" has been negated from missing foetus to alien implants.
I do not rule out the possibility of one off alien abduction events (again, see UFO Contact?) but I think that we need to look at the reports pre Hopkins/Jacobs.
As of yesterday (12th November), I have divided the USA file into two separate volumes: Volume 1:1900 -1969 and Volume 2: 1970 on.
I have asked ufologists in the United States whether they would be willing to look into old reports -UFO cold cases? So far I have had 100% negative responses.
The 1966 Kathy Reeves/Reeves Farm events -even the Centre for UFO Studies only had a reference to an article in the Flying Saucer Review (emailed from Dr Mark Rodheiger 5th November, 2018). This case has been so badly reported on by John Keel, Loren Coleman and many others who today practice copy and paste 'research'.
I come across these reports and, to be honest, I do not think that I have enough years left to investigate all of them -that should be the task of American ufologists but they are not interested. There are four cases I hope to follow up on but the workload shows why this really doew need funding!
So when you read all of those cases online PLEASE do your own research and try to get to the truth and do not accept what ufologists tell you at face value.

Hi, Terry
ReplyDeleteThe abduction aspects of the Morel case are "real" (see the references at the end of my entry for the case). Regards, Luis R Gonzalez
2 November 1973
Goffstown, New Hampshire (USA)
02:45. Lydia Morel, married masseuse at the Swedish Sauna, was returning home after work when she encountered a yellow orange globe in front of her car that followed her for several miles. When it came closer, it had a honeycomb design except for an oval window through which she saw the upper part of a figure. The head was grayish, the body darker. The skin was wrinkled, the eyes large, dark, egg shaped and slanted. She felt drawn to the UFO but dashed to a nearby house to escape. The couple who helped her (and the police officer who arrived soon later) saw just a far away light that could have been anything. She may have had telepathic communication. There is a period of possible missing time for nearly half a mile, before seeing the entity, when the witness felt unable to remove her hands from the steering wheel and had the sensation the ufo was taking control of her body and drawing her towards it.
The case was investigated on site by Walter Webb.
According to Friedman, Lydia underwent hypnotic regression and recalled that she was abducted and underwent a physical examination. As she lived just 60 miles from Betty Hill, they became friends. Betty noted that the Lydia’s dress was damaged by a pattern of seven small holes just abobe the waist. This pattern was repeated on the lower back portion of the dress. Lydya passed Betty’s litmus test by providing the secret information about the occupants that had not been made public. Betty Hill herself gives more sensational details in her own book. She points out that six different hypnotists tried to open up Lydia’s amnesia without success, but she began to have memories of leaving the craft (no more details given). Betty herself located the site. She adds: “She did not return to her night employment. In fact, she made it a point never to go out at night alone. She went to school and became a real state broker” and followed her family to another state.

Ahh, for some reason Blogger would not let me respond but it seems after a couple of months "someone"! has sorted out the problem! I did miss-read the comment and was a little confused by the Reinaldo Manso name. Apart from Bullard's book, which in the UK would cost £45 (about 50 Euro) I have checked the other books and, yes,it seems that Morel had an experience. However, without knowing what the secret fact -Betty Hill's "litmus test"- we are left with no extra proof of anything. The light seen after the encounter could very well have been a planet -hence the local rader picking nothing up. Or it might have been a UFO. The Hill case had extra back up as did the case of the three ladies at Liberty, Kty and though I have no reason to disbelieve Morel experienced something I much prefer at least one or two witnesses to an object or more than one experiencer. It is an interesting case and considering how many investigators became involved in it we are still not past basic details. That said, Morel was lucky since the Hills,the ladies in Kentucky and many others have had trust and faith abused by ufologists who simply used them for their own ends and publicity. Morel got away lightly!
