Jan Molloy and her friend, Alison, were walking along the beach front, towards the pier after finishing work.  She told John hanson:

“It was dark, at the time. We were chatting together, when we heard a deafening, whirring, noise coming from directly above our heads. Looking upwards, we saw a cone-shaped object, about the size of a small aircraft, with a flashing bank of lights beneath it, illuminating the ground as it approached us.

 

“We thought it was going to crash, so we started running towards the Pier, noticing that although the noise was behind us, the lights had been extinguished.

The next thing that happened was we found ourselves frunning through an ancient churchyard as irf, somehow, we had been transported back into time. I vividly remember looking at the gravestones, which had an aged look about them.  I couldn’t understand what was happening.

“The locality was so unfamiliar to me.  As we ran along, I looked down and saw we were both wearing crinoline dresses, which made a ‘swishing’ noise as we moved along the path.  I could smell burning and had an impression that whatever it was that had been following us had landed nearby.

“I could hear Alison screaming and was aware of those coloured lights appearing through a swirling mist forming around us, before finding ourselves back on the beach wearing our normal clothes.  The next thing I heard was Alison screaming out to me, ‘There’s something beside you’.

“When I looked, there was nothing to be seen.  Although the whole episode had lasted for only ten to fifteen seconds, we were shocked to discover that three hours had elapsed during the experience –something we found very difficult to believe”.

Alison later told Hanson that she had seen a person in the churchyard “approximately six feet tall, thinly built, with a large head and three fingers on one hand”.

 

THS –it would be interesting to know whether Jan or Alison have recalled other aspects of the experience since Hanson interviewed them.

 

Up-dated 14^th November 2018

Although this report yells out “possible UFO abduction” and it is extremely tempting to try to uncover what the percipient can recall without hypnosis in more detail, I have discussed the matter with John Hanson who was willing to approach the percipient and introduce me to here and proceed from there I have decided against this.

It took a great deal of soul searching because there are certain aspects that pique my interest. However, the second witness is not discussing the incident and if the percipient has had not problems –flash-backs or psychological regarding the event the question is: should I re-open a bad memory for her that might actually result in her facing stress?  

The event happened and she and, hopefully her friend, got on with their lives –no further incidents.  To open up possible bad memories or create stimuli that awakens buried memories for the percipient would be morally wrong. We would have a possible record of a one off event filed away while the percipient would have to struggle to come to terms with anything new revealed.

I will ask and see if the secondary percipient be named or contacted but tentatively list this case as puzzling but closed.

Storrington, UK: 15th November 1967

 16^th November 1967  Storrington, W Sussex

Storrington (FSR vol. 14 no. 2, 1968: Charles Bowen and Gordon Creighton  “The Storrington Reports”.

Haunted Skies Vol. 2  John Hanson

 

   To make this brief, at 18:45 hrs on Sunday, 29^th October, 1967, Paul Quick (21)              saw an oval-shaped UFO flying over woods near the West Sussex village of Storrington. Quick watched amazed as the craft headed for the ground on the Sussex Downs. The object was also observed by his mother and sister despite a search of the area by police, no sign of the UFO was found. This was the first of a number of sightings in the county that were investigated by the late Omar Fowler. The main incident of relevance here took place on the afternoon of Thursday, 16^th November involving Mrs Quick (Paul’s mother).

     “…I happened to be walking towards the Downs as the sun was setting

    in the West. I had stopped to admire the view, when I spotted an obstacle

    on the horizon which struck me at first as looking rather like a steam-roller.

    So, thinking it would be more than a strange to see a steam-roller on the

    Downs, I decided to go home and collect my opera glasses –all I had to aid

    me in the sighting.

 

    “I now learned that it was a different thing altogether, so I stood watching a

    most strange performance. The shape was very unusual –trumpet-shape at

    what appeared to be the front.  The centre was dome-shaped, with two tails

    from the right-hand side. I would say that length was about 25 to 30 ft. It

    swivelled several times before disappearing over the Downs for at least ten

    minutes, only to reappear and continue the same movement.

 

    “After the sun had set behind the Downs, a light appeared in front of the

   craft. It flickered from very bright to a smaller light, then an extremely deep

   red (blood red) glow showed from the object. It changed from light red to

   a deeper red glow.  It changed its position once or twice at great speed, and

   then finally took off at an incredible speed towards the sea, possibly in the

   Worthing direction.

 

    “Ten minutes later, it reappeared, but disappeared again behind a clump of

    trees. After that we saw no more.

    “I had a witness –someone who had been shopping and had seen me looking

    towards the Downs with the glasses—  so naturally she was interested and asked

    me what I was looking at.  She also looked through the glasses, also seeing

    exactly the same object, behaviour, lights, and departure.  By this time she was

    convinced that this was no ordinary event, and so nervously decided to return

    home to inform her son.

    “I noticed a dark figure approaching the craft at one moment, possibly gliding.

    It looked slightly larger than a human as we know them. It disappeared suddenly.”

Above: object sighted on 16^th November Omar Fowler’s redrawing of Mrs. Quick’s sketch.

   Bowen and Creighton wrote:

   “As for the vaguely-described “creature” figure, it seems that Mrs. Quick

   suggested it was 8 to 10ft. tall, and appearing to float rather than walk,

   before it disappeared. Mr. Fowler also remarks that after the incident, the

   witness, who lives alone with one of her daughters, had a feeling that

   someone was outside the house, a feeling she shared with her daughter…the

   second incident in particular has features which bear a degree of resemblance

   to descriptions we have come across on many occasions. In this connection

   our thoughts range to Saltwood, and even Casa Blanca, to quote extreme cases.”

 

   It should be noted that the Saltwood case started as a ghost sighting and then became a UFO incident and both based on a misidentification which, in 1967 both Bowen and Creighton knew; John Hanson is Haunted Skies (volume 2) covered the incident quite thoroughly. Mrs. Quick did not describe bat-wings and why the writers decided to use the word “creature” when there is only a tall humanoid figure described I have no idea –perhaps it was to try to make the story more sensational for its readers; and not for the first time. The 1955, Casa Blanca, California case involved an entity roughly the size of a 4 year old child so that comment loses me in this context.

   So what happened to this case –I asked Charles Bowen who referred me to the FSR issue in question because it seems that was where their interest ended. Omar Fowler told me that he did not think that there was much more to it as Mrs. Quick had already reported a UFO once and he couldn’t find any of his papers on the case. Remember; in those days if you saw two objects you could not identify and so made two UFO reports you were a crank. A UFO sighting (with other persons present) and then another with a second observer and an entity was seen you were a loon. Omar could not recall talking to the second witness.

 

 

Fifty (50) Years!

 

Rather interestingly I was contacted by a Matt Dewer who has been looking at UFO researchers world wide for a book he is writing on UFO history. My first point to him was that I am not a Ufologist and do not want to be tainted by that term. I am an independent researcher looking at a number of subjects and UFO abductions is just one of them. I gave up running after lights in the sky years ago.

So I was then told that he had read that I began looking into CE3K cases in 1974 which is about right. "So you've been doing this longer than Ted Bloecher" he stated.  Now that annoyed me somewhat since, after all, Bloecher is a personal hero and very much respected for his work on CE3K cases (along with David Webb later on). Blocher started his interest in UFOs in the 1950s and wrote Report On the UFO Wave of 1947 (my copy was..."borrowed" many years ago).  He retired from UFOs in the early 1980s and Hopkins and Jacobs (sadly) took over from him. So he was active for 40 years.

I pointed that out quickly only to get the response "Yeah, but you've been doing this 48 years".

"Absolute *****!" I thought and then realised that it is 2022 and I am, unbelievably, "getting on a bit". I had a calculator nearby so checked. It is 48 years. If I live to 2024 I will have been working on CE3K/Entity cases fifty years. That is terrifying in so many respects but it has made me realise I need to sort out what happens to my files once I've popped my clogs. 

It is still mind-blowing (and scary) that almost fifty years have passed since I took the Path of Counter-Actuality. "Monster hunter", "Britain's Big Cat Detective" and other embarrassing names have been given to me by the press and media and yet every time I point out that I am a naturalist and, when it comes to UFOs/CE3K I am an independent researcher and my claim to fame is that I have managed to avoid major interviews so far! 😁😁

Most of my work is summed up in my twelve books and those at least avoid sensationalism, lying or twisting facts. Where I can find no reasonable or provable explanation to a case I class it as "open" and that's it. 

But...fifty years 😓 I don't look a day over 30 (when I'm not wearing spectacles)

UFO Classified | Emma Woods and Jack Brewer -Some Notes

My first thought when I saw the subject of this particular episode was "Here we go more 'he said and she said'!" but what we heard pushed home what I said about Hopkins, and particularly about Jacobs, many years ago when I realised what was going on. 

With Hopkins it was Sight Unseen where it read as fiction and at that time I knew someone acquainted with the "VIP witness" (the then Sec Gen of the United Nations and he asked if he were aware that he was a witness to a UFO abduction (light heartedly)? The response once it was explained was a denial of being any such thing or actually even being in the area in question. It was a lie.

Bit-by-bit other snippets emerged and by that time Hopkins had decided to no longer communicate with me.

With Jacobs it was after I defended him in writing following an article in Fortean Times (he read my response but the publication refused to publish any counter article which is typical of not just Forteans but most little fringe cliques). Jacobs was interested in the Project Damocles the AOP Bureau wanted to instigate but something felt wrong.  When I questioned something (not that bad actually, quite minor) he no longer responded.  I later heard from an acquaintance at a MUFON conference that he had overheard Hopkins and Jacobs refer to the symbols allegedly seen during UFO abductions I had sent them and it was clear the two wanted no input but were "keeping symbols between themselves and only from their subjects and Budd was coordinating that".  

I never accept hearsay, even from a trusted person so when I saw the video posted by Carol Rainey of how Hopkins "stacked the decks" and how he knew Linda Cortile was faking evidence and hoaxing but still went ahead with this fraud my heart really sank. I supported Hopkins back in the early days and even have a signed copy of Intruders with a personal message inside and, before they were stolen, I had two C90 cassettes he had sent me of his MUFON talks.  I had to sit down and ask myself how long he had been doing this? Was his much lauded investigation with Ted Bloecher of the "Stonehenge", NY, 1975 UFO incident (Flying Saucer Review Vol. 23 no. 3, October 1977) tainted? I suspect not since Bloecher has always had a solid reputation backed up by meticulous records. 

The rot seems to have set in as soon as hypnosis creeped in.  I was willing to accept a "false memory" implanted -perhaps even considered something "humane" to save the percipient from the world view shattering experience they underwent.  However, as things progressed and I listened to those early tapes I did write notes regarding my concerns.

When we got to the point where percipients were regressed back to being little children to recall their abductions then to when some were abducted (?!) while still in the womb I realised that something was wrong and when hypnosis was used to regressed people back to previous lives and abductions that was it.

I looked deeper and re-read Hopkins and Jacobs books and they had points where you could see, as a body of work, where things were going wrong. In Walking Among Us Jacobs had lost the plot. I even stated so in a 2017 review -ot was now reading like bad sci fi. Pure fiction.

https://aeceiiikp.blogspot.com/2017/08/review-walking-among-us-david-jacobs.html

John Carpenter, another abduction=hypnotist specialist sold his "subjects" files to Robert Bigelow and I am not going to go into other personal scandals around him and his work,

Let it be clear that Jacobs was an historian and Hopkins an artist (producing some interesting pieces) but they were nor medically qualified nor qualified psychiatrists.  For Jacobs to tell a "subject" that she is affected by MPD -Multiple Personality Disorder- and that she has the classic symptoms and needs medication for this; as have a number of other "subjects" he has dealt with is totally and utterly wrong.  He is not qualified to diagnose any psychiatric disorder let alone tell a "subject" this while "under hypnosis".  In fact he totally and utterly abuses hypnosis. When he jokes about a sex shop he frequents and how he can get Woods a chastity belt (he's done it before he claims) that goes beyond any decent conduct. That his voice does seem to suggest he is finding this a "turn on" is worrying.

People have accused Woods of being a hoaxer and so on. I have had no contact with her and not looked into her case so I am not taking sides -and despite what was said in the video there are two sides to every story. You cannot dismiss counter accusations by stating that. In this instance I was interested in the behaviour of Jacobs who, even if Woods was faking it all, behaved in a manner that makes him predatory. And not just in the case of Woods. Jacobs' followers and those invested in the whole UFO abduction pop culture even use words such as "retarded" regarding Woods while stating that she is no such thing but a calm and collected hoaxer.

If a person completely and utterly believes that they have been abducted then they may have been -even if not in reality as that is how Ruth Syndrome works (see UFO Contact?). People keep referring to "subjects" but that is something I, personally, do not like. The bottom line is this: these people are just that -human beings-and they should be treated with dignity and respect. This should NOT be about the "next book" or getting an interesting chapter. This is NOT about making money. Gather the data and evidence, yes, do checks all the way, yes. But if the person is a genuine abductee then they have just had their entire world view shattered and that is why so many suffer mental trauma -mental shock and post traumatic stress disorder. You are gathering data "for science" (?) but above all you are trying to help the percipient come to terms with what happened to them.

"Missing time? Hey, get on the couch I'm gonna hypnotise you!" is not the approach. You need to find out more about the person and their life and then get up to the date and time of what ever happened to them. You listen. You do not push for what happened. You talk, listen and tell the person to write down any dreams they have or anything they recall that might be related to what they experienced. It is a long and dry process and you need to keep reassuring the vulnerable human being sat in front of you. There are techniques that they can use to try to recall events. Hypnosis should never be used unless the person involved is suffering trauma or the hidden event is somehow affecting their daily lives to a point where physical and mental health is affected.

The investigator should never attempt hypnosis no matter how many courses she/he has taken. Hypnosis should only be carried out by a qualified person and I would always suggest that it be one that has NOT dealt with UFOs. The investigator should not sit in on the first session unless absolutely required to by the person undergoing the therapy who would feel safer. Even in the remotest possibility of telepathy the investigator should not even be thinking of an abduction scenario. Record sessions and take the advice of the qualified person on how to proceed.

Always -always- remember that you are dealing with a human being not a piggy bank.

Sceptic or Debunker?

  I am a sceptic and go by the evidence.

I am NOT a debunker who dismisses things without looking at any evidence.

I have made it very clear that I believe any alleged encounter such as a Close Encounter of the Third Kind must be investigated with an open mind taking many things into account. Since 1974 this has, sadly, been my main work so I have seen the flaws in investigation as well as in cases that point to a solution being non alien.

It is very important that these reports are investigated and if out of 100 cases 99 can be dismissed then that still leaves the 1 report. It would be good to have people involved in exobiology/xenobiology involved in looking at the entity descriptions in reports but that does not seem like something that will happen soon.

I point out proven flaws in evidence and procedure and that is it. I go into each account open minded and with absolutely no pre conceived conclusions for or against.

This book addresses and answers a rampant question within UFOlogy, whether UFOS are physical or psychic in nature. In my early days as a UFO investigator I would throw UFO reports that contained paranormal phenomena in the proverbial wastebasket. My position, etched in the halls of Congress, was that UFOS were machine-like physical craft from another star system. However, as time went by, I watched in dismay as several respected UFO researchers moved from a physical to a psychic interpretation of the UFO phenomenon. Little did I know then that my own view would also slowly but surely be honed to accommodate ever deeper levels of the psychic components triggered by the UFO experience.

Stringed to together by amazing synchronicities, I became obsessed, one after the other with UFO Abductions, Out-of-the-body experiences, Near Death Experiences, After Death Communications, Quantum Physics, and the Time Slip Phenomenon. Studies of these phenomena led me to the startling conclusion that they, and UFOS, are interconnected and all part of one encompassing metaphenomenon. I concluded that UFOS originate from the dimension NDErs describe and that we are transitory citizens of that world of Light who shuffle back and forth between a particle dimension and a wave (light) dimension through reincarnation.

The UFO abductions reflect UFO entities monitoring and caring for the human particle form in preparation for their metamorphosizing by OBES into a new body of light in the afterlife dimension. The robed human-appearing entities that greed NDErs at the world of light appear to be controlling this process and to be genetically related to humans. PLES on the other hand reflect physical humans returning and repeating this process by reincarnation as part of a natural constant inter-balanced exchange between matter and energy - between particle and wave. Inconceivable as this might be to the reader, the final analysis reached by the author is that UFOS represent a final abduction for one’s current life and that we are property!

Fowler notes how he, like others in Ufology would dismiss anyone reporting a UFO twice or multiple times as crap pots. Also dismissed were reports of people encountering entities. This is true even outside the United States. I have previously written about how, in the 1970s right up to the 1990s I would be mocked and called (never to my face) the "UFO Nut" ("UFO Naut" -they thought it was funny!). We lost a tremendous amount of data and cases because of this attitude. The Ufologists were "nuts and bolts" men who chased reports of UFOs but did not even think what or who might be piloting them -an incredible lack of logical thinking and if a reported UFO did not "fit" in with the rest then....put it in the bin.

When confronted by accounts of alien entity encounters -CE3Ks- Ufologists tended to be totally unprepared. Their mindset was not to ponder the "Who's in the UFO" but here they were being confronted by reports such as the Hills, Walton and Andreasson. Abductions. Just as there is a fear amongst many astronomers and even those working in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence of aliens being proven to exist so there was a fear amongst Ufologists of entity cases being real -some even jumped into bed with debunkers (not literally!) and added extras that they made up or had heard to ridicule the accounts. Even in 2022 there are 25 and 35 year "UFO veterans" who ask "What are these reports of the little guys about?" (they need to read my books)/

Fowler came from that nuts and bolts group and admits it freely.  Reading this nook was almost painful.  I feel that the Andreasson Affair was a classic in Ufology. We have the classic case history of how a person becomes an 'abductee' -Karla Turner's books are really must reading for this as it shows how everything from the "trigger" to believing even the minutest incident may involve alien intervention. I believe that Turner was genuine in her claims but the evidence is that she had Ruth Syndrome (again, read my first CE3K book (UFO Contact?) for a full explanation and case samples).

With the Andreasson Affair we have another perfect case study and all that it entails from coincidences, dreams and altered states all intermixed with religious belief. In this case Fowler has documented what should be considered a classic and must reading.

The book itself (UFOs The Ultimate Abduction: We Are Property) is far more than a book about UFO abductions. It tells us about how Fowler had a UFO sighting as a child and how he eventually got into Ufology, the attitudes that prevailed, how the CIA destroyed NICAP from within (a classic case of counter intelligence infiltration and taking over an organisation/subject), the Condon Committee, USAF Project Blue Book as well as some very interesting UFO cases. On that side of things this is, again, must reading for people interested in UFO history and wanting to find out about Fowler's involvement in these matters.

The section where he turns to abductions is where people may have their minds blown.  There are cases where there is sleep paralysis as well as altered states involved and all the classic symptoms are there and yet these seem to be dismissed "because of the UFO involvement" and with that response eyes should start rolling. 

Why are 'abductees' finding synchronicity in the times that they wake up? Yes, again, this is a subject mentioned and it is almost as though people tend to not research or read up on things. Your body's internal clock (yes, we all have one) is controlled by an area of the brain called the SCN (suprachiasmatic nucleus). The SCN is located in the hypothalamus. The SCN is sensitive to signals of dark and light. The optic nerve in your eyes senses the morning light. The Circadian rhythms form a basic “schedule” for our bodies that cause us to wake up at roughly the same time each day- provided that you live a relatively routine life and many things can throw this off including stress.

No aliens involved.

The striking case for me was that of the Lebels and what appeared to be a long term study of them and their property.  It made me think, to a degree, of the Coombs farm in Wales during the 1970s. Reading this was like reading an old style CE3K account and, as Fowler suggests, there may have been far more involved but once the family moved on that ended the matter. In Ufology this is a big problem; once the initial account is compiled the case is closed. There are practical problems; you want to keep a property under surveillance in some way even if just asking the new owners to report anything unusual how do you approach those new owners? "Hi. You do not know me and I can guarantee you I am not insane but I am a UFO investigator and the previous owners used to see aliens in and around the home and property---" at that point the door probably slams in your face and you go sit in your car and wait for the police responders to ask you questions.

Now I did write that this should be a classic for another reason and that is because we see how Fowler went from nuts and bolts to becoming a 'UFO abductee' himself.  Everything is circumstantial and even people he was with cannot confirm what he claims to have seen -this for many tends to add that touch of "alien interference" and tends never to be questioned. That Fowler resigned from MUFON after believing he was an abductee was the correct thing to do and the reason is simple; he was head of MUFON Director of Investigations and could be "led" by any aliens to dismiss reports and totally taint research (this MUFON eventually did themselves without the aid of aliens). So, however improbable that seems it was the right move.

Leo Sprinkle dealt with many abductees via hypnosis but then believed it possible that telepathy between the subject-hypnotist-UFO investigator might taint what the subject was telling them. For that reason he stopped but something else also caused him to retire from that line of work (what he thought could taint subjects accounts if telepathy were at work) -he believed that he, too, was an abductee.  Sprinkle felt that there were signs of his being an abductee but these seem, as in Fowler's case, to be circumstantial at best. 

I'm prone to sleep paralysis, I sleep irregularly and wake at specific times when I do sleep -am I a UFO abductee? No. I have seen up to five light phenomenon in my adult life -I can account for every second: no missing time.  My parents observed a UFO in Germany just before I was born -am I an abductee and were they? No. It goes on and on and it is the trick the mind plays because it takes common events and things and then plays a game of dot-to-dot so that the picture you make is not of a bunny rabbit sitting in profile but of a 'Zeta Reticulan" beckoning you with a long finger.

A few incidents Fowler mentions from his later years had me cringing and concerned but none had anything to do with UFOs.  We also see how Fowler has led himself to intermix UFOs, abductions and "synchronicities" with Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Experiences and the conclusions are completely illogical. Out of Body abductions and then the hypnotic regressing adults (who have accumulated decades of TGVF and media accounts of UFOs) to something they believe they remember from when they were a 2 year old...a three year old and even before. That is a mockery on so many levels and showing total misuse of hypnosis.

Is it any wonder that Fowler then takes the stance of the discredit Jacobs and claims "We are property" and that aliens control our minds and spirits to the point of not just physical abductions but out of body abductions?  Fowler notes Andreasson's Christian belief but also his own "fundamental Christian" belief that caused him to argue with his father when he recounted odd events and called them of "Satanic origin".  I have seen this so many times since 1974; rational people who cannot explain aspects of UFO reports as nuts and bolts jumping to the conclusion that "UFOs are paranormal" and some go as far as to call on the fictitious Satan as the source of it all. 

This was a fascinating read but probably not for the reasons I had thought when I purchased the book. The same facets of UFOs that make some -some- astronomers and scientists ridicule the subject can also make some Ufologists 'abductees'.

Review: The Utah UFO Display

 Do UFOs really exist? Shedding new light on the UFO mystery, noted biologist Frank B. Salisbury, in collaboration with Joseph Junior Hicks, brings to life dramatic eyewitness accounts that address this timeworn puzzle. 

Written in the context of modern science, Utah UFO Display includes countless interviews of people who adamantly insist they witnessed a flying saucer or were abducted by extraterrestrial beings. 

Prepare to be hooked from the first page!

Well, I have to admit that for the most part this was a good read but Salisbury admits himself that he had retired and been out of the UFO field some time -hence his being dropped as consultant by Bigelow and the Skinwalker ranch group. In fact, Hicks, whose work the Skinwalker team used a lot as background and credited got the big heave-o and that rings weird.  It's akin to a businessman stating he is in heavy financial trouble and he knows a friendly accountant but screw him -"I'll go it alone!"  Most of the leg work and investigation work was carried out by Joseph Junior Hicks.

The problem I find is that in the years since this book first appeared Ufology has moved on (slightly) but in the table of cases we see "saw a silvery figure in house" and that's it. Even a UFO sighting recounted early in the book does not mention the fact that a entity was reported...well, it is a kind of side note at the end of the section.  Everything else is pretty much "UFO standard" and it does not appear to have entered Salisbury's mind that the phenomena reported in many cases may be a natural phenomenon. This is where old Ufologists tend to make the mistakes as they conclude that every "unexplainable" is intelligently controlled or nuts and bolts.

Where we get to something new and very relevant to UFOs in 2022 is the chapter on Skinwalker Ranch itself. The family that owned it from the 1930s (not 1950s as the current myth goes) had never encountered strange phenomena of any kind and certainly not UFOs and the brother of the late owner (Garth Meyers spoke to Salisbury) had even worked on the ranch as a young man and encountered nothing unusual. Everything changed after the family of the deceased couple who owned the ranch sold it (they were all quite old so running a ranch was beyond them). Salisbury seems to suggest that the new owners accounts may have some truth in them but to my reading it read as if there was a huge pile of bovine excrement and now some denial from that source ('Tom Gorman').

Where things get bad is  when George Knapp and Colm Kelleher got involved. Allegedly, Knapp had never spoken to 'Tom Gorman' but heavily embellished accounts and 'Gorman' did not even know about the book until after its publication. As I wrote at the time after reading Knapp and Kelleher's book; I do not believe a word of it. No photographs, absolutely no evidence what-so- ever (as Knapp has been recorded as stating when pushed on the subject.

It comes down to this; someone was taking the money and making the most out of false accounts and reports -even from the "crew" who were supposed to be investigating the ranch. That Bigelow actually called Meyer a liar when he stated that there was NEVER any strange phenomena at the ranch from 1930-1990s and its sale but later sold the ranch on to another "entrepreneur" says a lot. I think Bigelow caught on to the con at some point. The "must not dig in certain areas before consulting the seller" is nothing spooky but is something put into land contracts in the area due to oil deposits!

This is an interesting read for those who do read these days and do not rely on the lies found on the internet and You Tube. This book does note that some observed odd lights near the ranch but this sounds like natural phenomenon.

Conclusions about UFOs all fall into the same "I'm a nuts and bolts man and this does not seem to fit" category. The same "false gods of Ufology" are quoted (seemingly people are unaware of how their data is inaccurate or corrupted) and the same old theories pop up including how religion can help (Salisbury is a Mormon).  

An interesting read as I note and the greate4st contribution to modern Ufology (again) is to the Skinwalker Ranch farce.

Important Announcement

 

 I was up until around 0400 hrs and made a decision.

When you have poured decades into work that goes into a book (we are talking the "World Mystery" and UFO books) and you try to keep that book at a low price to encourage buyers that is a publisher decision and I made it.

When a £20.00 book brings in 75p that is far from good. Put it this way; if people went buy crazy and purchased 100 copies of a book I would not even get £100 -only £75 (if you are American just think of £ as $).

As it happens the sales have been so bad because no one recommends them and there is no word-of-mouth to let people know about them.

My posts on the books have been seen, as of today, by just under 1 million people. No sales.

So I have decided that this cannot go on.

I am going to withdraw the books from the online store and see whether I can get a publisher or agent and if I cant well people haver had between 12-5 years to purchase the books so no one is going to miss them. You will NOT find them on Amazon nor on Ebay because those sellers have to buy them from me and generally add up to £10/$10 to the cost and that is why I blocked that (also selling on Amazon would earn me less than 75p a copy).

The books will be gone and I am not that worried because they are doing nothing anyway. People are more illiterate these days and do not read and, in fact, when they do they prefer fantasy substituted for fact.

Big weight off my shoulders and the albatross will be gone.

"What Happened to the Posts?"

 

Exactly what I said would happen months ago. Someone was not reading the posts properly, were they?

I post a feature such as a report or long general article and I leave it up for 48 hours, sometimes I leave it a little longer. When, after that time, I see only 10 or 12 people have checked it and there is no response or comment it gets reverted back to a draft. Reverting it back to a draft means that those info thieves online can stop stealing and using my original research work.

As I have noted before -in 2021, 2020 and 2019- I am not indulging info thieves. Some of the posts may well form chapters in later books and though the books might not sell they provide proof of who did all the work that was stolen online.

Imagine you work all week and then when its time for that pay cheque you are told "Charlie says he did the work so we are paying him."  All the hours you worked and the effort you put in and Charlie gets the credit (even though you have no idea who Charlie is) and the money and praise.  Unfair? Yep, but its an example of how internet thievery works. A couple weeks back I posted a long report and added in photos and maps -many months of research. By the next day that work was chopped up and used by three others who also added fake info that will now go as 'fact'. Lots of congrats on all the work and effort.

You see what I mean?

So I delete posts after a certain time.

Emma Funk UFO incident

 I miss the old days up until the 1990s and the internet when Ufologist actually cooperated.

I know.

Unbelievable, right?

After a good long time absolutely no one out there has any links (not that same short video clip) to the Emma Funk UFO incident???
