Adamski can be found in Glenn Steckling´s recently published book The U.F.O.
Reality – Can Truth Prevail? (p. 145) It is to a large extent an autobiography,
narrating his involvement in the work of the George Adamski Foundation
(GAF). Glenn´s many experiences with
alien visitors and assertions about their activities on our planet are of
course controversial and will surely be questioned and criticized. This is not
an ordinary UFO book. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Rs52tQvgwgeJk-dyy_a7IfmGlu_2NrcKtvO6Z3L4OVMvxiMC6ncqinYo15CngAVdfFUWWt81Ie4Vy9HfwRHoNAy65IZpM1j9X4k2K5F7g6f2rrECro7V2Fguf6LEvo_2biaoWYrib5wHwSR5vXRep_in_2PXFzc9nODIrrCEEdly3JTP1TBBAcCE9faX/s1182/Steckling,%20The%20UFO%20Reality%20-%20Can%20Truth%20Prevail%20bl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1182" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Rs52tQvgwgeJk-dyy_a7IfmGlu_2NrcKtvO6Z3L4OVMvxiMC6ncqinYo15CngAVdfFUWWt81Ie4Vy9HfwRHoNAy65IZpM1j9X4k2K5F7g6f2rrECro7V2Fguf6LEvo_2biaoWYrib5wHwSR5vXRep_in_2PXFzc9nODIrrCEEdly3JTP1TBBAcCE9faX/s320/Steckling,%20The%20UFO%20Reality%20-%20Can%20Truth%20Prevail%20bl.jpg" width="217" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>As George Adamski and contactees in general is such
a controversial subject I find it relevant and honest to present a basic position
statement regarding this entire subject. Glenn Steckling is a good friend of
mine and we have been corresponding for many years. Although we differ on
several issues he is aware of my view that George Adamski really was in contact
with alien visitors from – somewhere. Although I consider several of his experiences
and claims should be taken with a grain of salt.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYr6_xZFOLUmW9eyYp8I39C4t8mKzlRz-lSSvk-p4Dt9nI9s9DzLfV3FvMgTJNsV_pOcRaK26c6FAbLkByB-LDxU4y6XkUpllylcrbywi5EAPiYq0OzjRyUTzyAOeUgCM__R5xYckhk8LOIh1cLl7tFQfcKyevV-wM1YgNzwMCQ3HNqac0O5oS98qUeAU/s800/Steckling,%20H%C3%A5kan%20Oct%2020,%202018%202%20bl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYr6_xZFOLUmW9eyYp8I39C4t8mKzlRz-lSSvk-p4Dt9nI9s9DzLfV3FvMgTJNsV_pOcRaK26c6FAbLkByB-LDxU4y6XkUpllylcrbywi5EAPiYq0OzjRyUTzyAOeUgCM__R5xYckhk8LOIh1cLl7tFQfcKyevV-wM1YgNzwMCQ3HNqac0O5oS98qUeAU/s320/Steckling,%20H%C3%A5kan%20Oct%2020,%202018%202%20bl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Glenn Steckling and I at the UFO-Sweden field investigator seminar 2018</div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>This taboo view of Adamski
of course makes me something of an heretic among heretics in the ufo research
community. But 50+ years of field investigation, study and research into the
ufo phenomenon and especially the contactee enigma has resulted in the
following conclusion:</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
Based on both empirical evidence and Esotericism as a paradigm I have advanced
the theory that some of the first generation UFO contactees of the 1950s were
involved in a cultural and psychological test. An experiment implemented by a
group of highly advanced, benevolent aliens, earth based or extraterrestrial. A
group with access to “vimana” technology. Involved in this experiment were a.o.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The 335 page The U.F.O.
Reality – Can Truth Prevail is divided into two sections: 1 Our Journey, which
is the family history of Glenn och his parents, Fred and Ingrid Steckling, and
their involvement with George Adamski and the Foundation. 2 A Reality Check,
consisting of part ufo history and Glenn´s critical examination of the ufo
movement and its mistakes, based on personal experiences and information
provided by various visitors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Section 1 is a very
valuable contribution to ufo history as a documentation of the Adamski movement
from the perspective of Glenn Steckling and his family. From their first ufo
observations in Germany and the United States to meeting George Adamski in
1963. An experience that would change the life of the Steckling family for ever
and eventually leading to Fred Steckling becoming the Director of the George
Adamski Foundation. A responsibility, since 1992, resting on the shoulders of
Glenn Steckling, resulting in numerous speaking engagements at conferences and
meetings all around the globe.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivmFvqHg3LEI7WUvUrr6VNB3A9jqktiw8ZXAjbVYbbSYhIutfkdoa3tqpRkNNhelIGtaobrdhQonZkStS6Ni-EjJfzPN7eSzqrjjz14TxCvx0iPREsXm_SZdj5zGxf0gGRlDrYM-yHQa6fLM5w1Lkhu9-ma4oaVjiTPPFOvderc9BKaEpuLx55GHqRyLyv/s1162/Steckling,%20Why%20Are%20They%20Here%20bl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1162" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivmFvqHg3LEI7WUvUrr6VNB3A9jqktiw8ZXAjbVYbbSYhIutfkdoa3tqpRkNNhelIGtaobrdhQonZkStS6Ni-EjJfzPN7eSzqrjjz14TxCvx0iPREsXm_SZdj5zGxf0gGRlDrYM-yHQa6fLM5w1Lkhu9-ma4oaVjiTPPFOvderc9BKaEpuLx55GHqRyLyv/s320/Steckling,%20Why%20Are%20They%20Here%20bl.jpg" width="220" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Glenn the visitors
were in regular contact with the Steckling family: ”These space visitors would
visit us after GA´s death and, over the years, assist us with many things… Such
visitors have a program, very much like our U.S. Peace Corps, where they are
incorporated into our society for two years or less…”. (p. 35) The visitors
sometimes attended the Steckling lectures as in 1981 in Germany when the visitor
named Orthon was sitting in the front row wearing a light blue suit. ”I did not
participate in that trip but was to make acquaintances with seven other
extraterrestrials while with my father at the 1989 Frankfurt UFO conference.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In his last book
(2013), <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2013/11/earth-alien-enterprise.html" target="_blank">Earth An Alien Enterprise</a>, British author Timothy Good devote an entire
chapter to the rumor that President Eisenhower had a meeting with
extraterrestrials in 1954 or 1955. A rumor that has generated an enormous
amount of strange tales. Acoording to Glenn Steckling this is what actually happened:
”What was discussed was a compromise that our government would release the true
space visitor information to the public. In return, we would receive
technological advancements, a significant advantage, and progression to our
civilization. Our government declined.” (p. 31)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Section 2 – A Reality
Check, includes, besides a ufo sighting history, some very pertinent comments
on and criticism of the ufo community. In respective chapters believers in
Chemtrails and that we never went to the Moon receive a severe bashing. Neither
is Glenn an advocate of Disclosure, which has made ufologists worldwide running
after the dangling carrots offered by various government agents and former ”insiders”:
”… Disclosure will never willingly happen via public pressures”. (p. 265) Here
I fully agree will Glenn. Investigators are spending large amounts of time,
money and energy on this charade. A very effective method getting the ufo
research community sidetracked by barking up the wrong tree.</span><span style="background: white;"> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Real Disclosure will come from the people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Much of Section 2 is
information on what Glenn has named ”The divergent misinformation program”,
initiated by the CIA and other intelligence organisations around 1961. Here we
find much of the abduction stories, implemented by using advanced mind- och
memory-altering methods. By using this fear and terror agenda and getting the
people to believe that abductions are caused by evil alien visitors the real
and benevolent visitors program was
effectively shattered. It was what George Adamski called a ”foolproof plan”.
(p. 269)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-milabs-enigma.html" target="_blank">MILABS</a> (Military
Abductions) theory, with minor variations, is getting more and more acceptance
among serious ufo investigators, a.o. Nick Redfern and Tanner Boyle. The theory
was studied and documented by Dr. Helmut Lammer and Marion Lammer in their book </span>MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien
Abduction (1999). Based on several years of research
Lammer concluded that some abduction cases could actually be secret experiments
by various military intelligence agencies. In April 2011 I wrote to Dr. Lammer
asking for more data on his research. He very kindly told me he had abandoned
all research on abductions and mind control<span style="background: white;"> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">and his entire archive had been thrown way!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E7eeQngD_14FeK5f2I44aOq6NDMaoQiErKid6PqEDLpwjLJDgf7GAku8H6Vt1f7t4i2j8qyF7iIzpK_Qjo8ynmuukc1rQM9cl-Uj78-r6hJA8bwGLKbYUbLQ7ap8Ta091S5aAXle9ReXiW-8M9oXHJcKyFFOpEx2xkkirgCMfGM7S49zWICtdhUVEFgM/s928/Lammer%20MILABS%20bl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E7eeQngD_14FeK5f2I44aOq6NDMaoQiErKid6PqEDLpwjLJDgf7GAku8H6Vt1f7t4i2j8qyF7iIzpK_Qjo8ynmuukc1rQM9cl-Uj78-r6hJA8bwGLKbYUbLQ7ap8Ta091S5aAXle9ReXiW-8M9oXHJcKyFFOpEx2xkkirgCMfGM7S49zWICtdhUVEFgM/s320/Lammer%20MILABS%20bl.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This question becomes
even more relevant when studying the abduction experiences of Alison, a woman
living on a ranch not far from Sedona, Arizona. The case was documented by Nick
Redfern in his 2006 book </span>On
the Trail of the Saucer Spies. (pp. 115-117) Alison´s abductions always
start with a humming sound, loss of electricity in the house and her dogs
becoming very distressed. Bright lights envelope the room and in a
semiconscious state she is aware of small creatures carrying her to a small
craft outside the house where she is examined and then led back to the house.
On her fifth abduction something extraordinary happens. The humming sound stops
abruptly and Alison slowly regain her normal senses. The small gray aliens fade
away and instead she find a group of large and burly men in black fatigues in
her room. According to Alison one of the men screamed "what happened"
in a microphone. Another man utters the word "sorry" in her direction
and the men leave in, not an alien spacecraft, but an unmarked black helicopter.
Did their psychotronic equipment fail this time?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It would of course be
an easy way out to blame all abductions on covert (black) projects and
intelligence groups. With no bad intentions Glenn Steckling is actually opening
a Pandora´s Box on this issue, when he in several chapters and interviews is stating
that there are also non-benevolent visitors using unsuspecting victims: ”In
fairness, opposing forces of not-so-benevolent societies and ”races” (NOT species)
also visit and exist beyond our planet.” (p. 49) When Anders Liljegren and I in
September 2015, had dinner with former CIA operative Jim Semivan and his wife Deborah
Stokes, Jim told us that he and his wife had been the victims of a very
traumatic abduction-like experience. He also mentioned that several of his
colleagues in the CIA had encountered the Men-in-Black. If abductions is only
used by intelligence groups why harass CIA personnel?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If we also have
non-benevolent visitors to cope with and covert intelligence groups have reached
the same conclusion, it would certainly be a good reason for non-disclosure. Imagine
the widespread paranoia and fear such a disclosure from any government would
create. Unfortunately my own investigations of contactees have actually confirmed
Glenn´s claim. The experiences of Swedish contactees <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2015/07/we-came-in-from-east-part-1.html" target="_blank">Jade Ekström</a> and <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-contactee-who-drove-mib-car.html" target="_blank">RichardHöglund</a> definitely involved non-benevolent visitors. Especially is this evident
in the Höglund case, where the visitors acted more like a global crime syndicate
than interplanetary Peace Corps. Richard became deeply afraid of the visitors
he worked with for several years. Perhaps it was the activities of these
intruders American contactee Howard Menger was briefed about as a warning by
his visitor friends. He was told they were very dangerous and used ”advanced
brain therapy”. (From Outer Space To You, pp. 143-144)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally Glenn reveal
one assertion from his visitors, which, if correct, certainly would create widespread
appehension among the public. Because of ”solar systemic changes” and the ”solar
system´s decelerating cycle” we can expect large catastrophes on Earth. Therefore
”inhabitants of our neighboring planets” have to a large extent been evacuated
to the solar system of Alpha Centauri. Two hundred thousand willing earth volunteers
have also been transported to this new solar system. (p. 87) A scenario that must
be regarded as a rather dystopian vision for our planet and culture. Let´s hope
this ”prophecy” fails. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For obvious reasons
there is not much new information on the life of George Adamski in this volume,
as it is an autobiography. But on page 32 Glenn mention a most welcome project.
After this book he is planning an ”accurate and thorough” biography of the life
and history of George Adamski, based on documents from the extensive GAF
archive. That is certainly worth waiting for. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The ufo enigma is like Chinese boxes. The majority of scientifically
oriented ufologists in the ufo research community only open box one and two.
Glenn Steckling´s very fascinating book is an intellectual challenge to all ufo
researchers to dare open box three and four.</span> </p>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-40586201838744602162023-06-11T11:00:00.000+02:002023-06-11T11:00:04.059+02:00The Real Visitors<p><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The usual and popular
media image of an alien visitor is a small, spindly creature with large black
eyes, often referred to as the Greys. Ask anyone to draw a picture of an entity
associated with ufos or search for alien images on the internet and you will
come up with more or less ugly creatures of the Whitley Strieber variety. But
are these entities the real visitors? Have both the public and mainstream
ufologists been mislead in assuming the Greys and similar entities to be actual
and intelligent visitors? Today there appears to be a re-evaluation of the
human looking aliens as the real visitors. A theory or idea shared by both
critical UFO investigators and contactees. ”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Strange ”Greys” of Ufology: Are They Manufactured?</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">” is the title of Nick Redfern´s article in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Humanoid and contact
cases involving human looking aliens interacting with small entities have been
reported for a long time and from many countries. An interesting fact is that
human aliens working together with small robots was mentioned already in 1955
by George Adamski. Here are a few relevant quotes:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"> "Also in this room was a robot instrument
which I was cautioned not to describe. I had noticed a miniature version of
this robot in the Scout." (Inside the Space Ships, 1955, p. 60).</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">"Each pilot room has a robot. these,
working singly or together, can fully govern the course of the ship, as well as
warn us of any approaching danger." (Ibid. p. 77).</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">"True, they have robots to do much of the
heavy work that once was done by manual labour." (Flying Saucers Farewell,
1961, p. 85)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A fascinating case where bio-androids
are mentioned is the abduction experience of Amauri Rivera of Puerto Rico. He
was abducted from his car by dwarfish entities in May 1988. When he regained
consciousness Amauri found himself in an unknown room together with 15 people,
all Hispano-Americans. Magdalena Del Amo-Freixedo documented what happened next
in an article published in Flying
Saucer Review, vol. 39, no. 1, Spring 1994: "Facing them was a
tall, dark man of human appearance. His hair was long, down to the shoulders,
and his complexion dusky. He would, says the witness, have passed anywhere
unnoticed. This man said that he was human, just like them, who had come here
from another planet in our galaxy. On either side of him there was a dwarf,
similar to those we have already described. Almost all of those present in the
chamber gazed with horror at the two creatures... He (the man) seized hold of
its (dwarf) face with one hand and turned it to right and left, at the same
time saying that they should have no fear of these entities, as they were
biological robots created by them for certain kinds of work, and that they were
quite inoffensive."<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxsTkfJXdyNZAIqzeAhOhViqsS6kLLiMYxdcuWkYuwCniqAmkEpszBejM8zq97zaxWz7Df-Urfxr9n0SP4heIqu81BG6gq57mn828GyGv6pCk5T1pMbvI96KnAwhjM1AX_eMZ5BiHs1n94jmQN2XHrvJzcyycPXtG5a5dcFfG4rXVdrb8nEqtYFXidA/s1000/41ozFSvm8CL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="694" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxsTkfJXdyNZAIqzeAhOhViqsS6kLLiMYxdcuWkYuwCniqAmkEpszBejM8zq97zaxWz7Df-Urfxr9n0SP4heIqu81BG6gq57mn828GyGv6pCk5T1pMbvI96KnAwhjM1AX_eMZ5BiHs1n94jmQN2XHrvJzcyycPXtG5a5dcFfG4rXVdrb8nEqtYFXidA/s320/41ozFSvm8CL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg" width="222" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cases like these are
often disregarded a priori by scientifically oriented ufologists but I
think it is time to reconsider many of the old contactees of the 1950s and 60s
and follow an alternative approach in research, looking for confirmation of the
contact from independent witnesses and various types of circumstancial
evidence. Many years ago I asked psychiatrist Dr. Berthold E. Schwarz about
this problem regarding his investigations of <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-howard-menger-enigma.html" target="_blank">Howard Menger</a>. Schwarz told of the
many witnesses who really did experience strange phenomena, including aliens at
the Menger farm. In a letter to me May 29, 1986, Schwarz concludes: "Yes,
the contact claims or case of Howard Menger is far from being an open and shut
or black and white matter." This could be said regarding many of the both
classic and recent contact experiences.</span> <span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gW6CFmOdMIcpsLobKRyJkBaI878yYxPCogx5AOSItt3MrTSxaSbXm4WLVqECFRbtq0N103MHBIn6fYym00FxnnTkyB4LbPZxqKLqlAv5eFsaNUrBU2ukuawoRNFfQlt97KWkbV0uYaS_cqV3RCupp2sLKvetNyzDLrK0ENzbOrxAigd0ZLaXlBDbYw/s916/Schwartz,%20Berthold%20E%20bl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="916" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gW6CFmOdMIcpsLobKRyJkBaI878yYxPCogx5AOSItt3MrTSxaSbXm4WLVqECFRbtq0N103MHBIn6fYym00FxnnTkyB4LbPZxqKLqlAv5eFsaNUrBU2ukuawoRNFfQlt97KWkbV0uYaS_cqV3RCupp2sLKvetNyzDLrK0ENzbOrxAigd0ZLaXlBDbYw/s320/Schwartz,%20Berthold%20E%20bl.jpg" width="245" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Berthold Schwartz</div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>After 50+ years of research into the
ufo contactee enigma my conclusion is that the real Visitors are human looking
entities, who for their more or less covert work use robots and androids.
Unfortunately there has since the 1950s been a stigma against any serious
research involving human looking Visitors.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Here is one example of the type of contact
cases, whether genuine or not, that should be investigated and documented by ufologists:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Joelle was born in St
Petersburg, Russia in 1914. After the war she worked in Paris and later moved
together with her husband and two daughters, Frederique and Isabelle, to
London. In September 1963 Joelle was in the Sheffield area conducting a
house-to-house field survey for a market research company. In one of the houses
Joelle visited she noticed an unusually large amount of modern-looking gadgets,
including a large radio transceiver. The lady in the house, Rosamund,
explained that her husband was a scientist and radio amateur. When
Rosamund briefly left the room Joelle heard a message in English from the
radio: ”Will be at Blue John tomorrow 4.30 p.m. – Mark”. She wrote down the
message but when Rosamund came back she was only informed that message had come
through. This obviously chocked Rosamund. Because of her background in the
French resistance during the war Joelle suspected she had uncovered an
international spy-ring and decided to go to the Blue John caves at the time
mentioned.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">On Monday September 16, 1963 she went by car to
the this area and parked at a vantage spot overlooking the valley – and waited.
At 4.30 p.m. Joelle noticed a brilliant light in the sky which came to rest
several hundred yards from her position. The glow ceased and a disc-shaped
aircraft appeared instead, landing on tripod landing legs. A man in a one-piece
suit stepped out of the craft and simultaneously a man appeared coming from a
car parked nearby. Joelle recognized the car as the one that had been parked
outside Rosamund´s house. The two men greeted each other warmly and walked
towards the car which drove away. The craft began to glow, lift off from the
ground shooting off at a fantastic speed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">At that time Joelle did not accept the existence
of flying saucers and believed the craft to be some sort of secret Russian
aircraft. She decided to go back to Rosamund´s house to find out more and then
perhaps report the incident to the police. When she knocked at the door the
scientist husband, in the story named Jack, opened the door but was reluctant
to let Joelle in. At that point Mark, now in terrestrial clothes, interjected
”that´s all right, let her in”. Joelle tried to present a cover story that she
needed some more answers for her field survey. Mark understood that this was a
lie and said: ”Why don´t you tell us the real reason why you are here?...You
came here because you saw my craft and wanted to find out what was going on”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Joelle was ”let in” on the truth and spent a
large part of the night talking with the visitor. She gradually accepted that
Mark was indeed a man from another planet. For the next fifteen months Joelle
had several meetings with Mark and another visitor, Val. Two times they met in
Joelle´s flat in London. These men claimed they were secretly working together
with a team of scientists from several nations. At one occasion Joelle was
invited to inspect one of their craft that had landed close to the Welsh
border. She helped the visitors in a number of ways. Val and Mark were
extremely refined, fair-skinned with perfect teeth, very kind and perfect
gentlemen with lots of humour.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1967, three years
after the last meeting with Mark and Val, Joelle claimed to have been visited
by two men from the Home Office in London. They wanted to know about the
disappearance of Jack and Rosamund and som other scientists. The men were aware
of the contact story but Joelle refused to answer some of their questions.
Neither did she tell all she knew to Timothy Good. One of the things mentioned
by Mark and Val was that their group would intervene in the event of a nuclear
catastrophe, if it threatened to destroy our planet. She was also informed that
we are spiritual beings, surviving death. The experiences with Mark and Val
remained a treasured and vivid memory for Joelle all her life.<br />

career I became involved in several quite remarkable aliens among us cases in
Sweden. Ever since then I have often pondered the $64 </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">question – <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/05/who-are-these-people.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;">Who are these people</span></a>.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> When John Keel visited me in October 1976 we
especially discussed this enigma, involving also the MIB – Men In Black.
Keel was intrigued by this aspect and convinced there were aliens
among us. “I´d really like to get one”, was his comment.</span> If we as private UFO researchers can discover so much
data on this hidden activity then special operations intelligence groups must
have studied these alien visitors for a long time and are keeping an eye
on their activities.

happened during the first years of the contactee era, silent contactee and
MUFON consultant <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2020/02/rosemary-decker-silent-contactee.html" target="_blank">Rosemary Decker</a> must have felt more and more like a stranger
in a strange land in the UFO movement of the 1980s and 90s. She tried to
express some of these thoughts in a letter 1995:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">”Yes, I´ll do my best to take care – it´s true ´there aren´t many of us
left´. And the early era of open friendly contacts has been so debunked, or at
best ignored, by later researchers/encountered people, too much precious data
has been lost. (Early era is among my 3 favourite presentations when I speak at
a conference). Some of the early alledged contacts were real, thanks be. (And
most never publicized).<br />
(Letter from Rosemary Decker to Wendelle Stevens and Christine Stevens-Cox,
December 12, 1995).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Based upon my experiences of contactee research in Sweden I regard it as
a definite possibility that there are real human looking alien Visitors
operating behind the scenes on this planet. Few ufologists, not to mention the
public, could take such a</span> revelation without developing at least a mild form of
paranoia.

international ufo movement and especially American ufology was in the 1980s
heavily influenced and partly ruined by disinformation from various
intelligence agencies. Bogus or very questionable documents were distributed to
ufologists who often swallowed the bait resulting in endless debates and
conflicts in the UFO community. Jacques Vallee understood very early that this
was a trap and he gives many sad examples in his writings how even serious
ufologists were sidetracked by this game, when they instead should have been
doing classic field investigation: ”The real phenomena continue to manifest
under our noses, and no special access to questionable government
documents is required to pursue a serious study” <br />

experience we at AFU realized that qualified ufo research would never be
initiated by the authorities or mainstream academic institutions. The only
possible option was </span><a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2015/01/four-reasons-for-private-ufo-research.html" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank">privately funded research</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">. We realized almost from the
start that petitioning the authorities to fund UFO research was a lost cause.
And trying to force the government or the military intelligence community to
”Disclose” the ”Truth” was a mission impossible.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Beginning in the 1950s
there has been constant rumors and hope that Disclosure is imminent and will
once and for all solve the ufo enigma. Since a few decades, we have a very
active international Disclosure movement of ufologists running after the
dangling carrots offered by various government agents and former ”insiders”.
Investigators are spending large amounts of time, money and energy on this
charade. A very effective method getting the ufo research community sidetracked
by barking up the wrong tree. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_HOaKIYoGjZSKNE-SUAvcbTLAV65pYv1NN2poUu9vT5oM0Je1SMdEiv2Ivni5DHulXZESYLTKBwA5TW2ZU1HIWpcv7G1zBDzVuhbg0yWwaU35M1s_XcRqOUdrKGgn0NFXGoLbA5nb70f4_xrzDdiK67iIXCjfyk9wEkgxvHzICklo-byy68PZtsQww/s800/Greer%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_HOaKIYoGjZSKNE-SUAvcbTLAV65pYv1NN2poUu9vT5oM0Je1SMdEiv2Ivni5DHulXZESYLTKBwA5TW2ZU1HIWpcv7G1zBDzVuhbg0yWwaU35M1s_XcRqOUdrKGgn0NFXGoLbA5nb70f4_xrzDdiK67iIXCjfyk9wEkgxvHzICklo-byy68PZtsQww/s320/Greer%20bl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>

or working hypothesis I would like to present a radically different perpective on this issue, from an esoteric
viewpoint. Let us call it - The Real Disclosure. Mainstream ufologists and
academic scholars will probably regard this theory as a myth or fantasy and the
skeptics will as usual refer to it as intellectual harakiri. I will let history
decide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In
a brief summary The Real Disclosure is the slow but coming public knowledge that
there is on our planet a very ancient secret society given various names:
planetary hierarchy, planetary guardians, occult brotherhood, inner government,
Higher Intelligence Agency (HIA), Masters, Mahatmas, Adepts etc. A form of
behind-the-scenes United Nations of exceptional men and women, unfortunately
endlessly travestied and misunderstood by a plethora of New Age-mystics, cults
and religions. This organisation has, especially since the Second World War,
worked in close co-operation with highly advanced Visitors from other planets
in an effort to help our civilization in a critical point in our evolution and
once again present The Ancient Wisdom, the science of the multiverse. In the
1950s the planetary guardians, together with the interplanetary Visitors,
initiated a psychological and sociological test of how humanity would react to
contact with other intelligences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
was not until 1875, with the founding of the Theosophical Society, that the planetary
guardians for the first time in modern history decided to reveal their
existence and present fundamentals of the Science of the Multiverse. The basic

very good summary of this project was given by Connie Menger, wife of Howard
Menger:<br />
"Let us assume that there is on this planet a group of scientifically
minded and spiritually dedicated men and women who are working to accomplish
this great task. And, let us further assume that they have already established
contacts with equally dedicated people of other planets. To continue their work
and remain effective, they must of necessity remain behind the scenes. However,
they can, in the interest of humanity in general, send out hints as to what
will take place in the near future. Perhaps they send out scouts to make
personal contacts for the specific reason of determining the reactions of
every-day people. Perhaps it is done as a "smoke screen" to
temporarily keep secret the real work which is going on until such time that
the people are prepared to meet this new era with many changes it will
bring...Then there are the personal contact stories, some of which are
authentic, and which have been established for study purposes and for keeping
alive a story which must eventually be brought before all people. If given in
small doses, the general acceptance will be made over a period of time, and
will take place almost naturally." <br />

landing facility in central Mexico, so we bought a property very close to that
area. And we were three years down there during that time. And within a week of
our showing up the Mexican military intelligence police there showed up and
with two trucks full of troops and equipment. The commandant was very
accommodating, very nice. He came and knocked on the door. My father welcomed
everybody with open arms saying come on in, I got nothing to hide. And then
they dispersed themselves over the many acres over the ranch and looked with
metal rods and magnetometers and all kinds of things. So my father said to them
you know this makes me very happy because obviously you wouldn´t be out there
if you didn´t believe that it didn´t exist.</span><span face="Arial, "sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

hanging on the wall and he says. We know they are here. We know they are good
for us, but WE don´t want them. He went on to say we have seen an abbreviated
file from the Pengaton concerning your activities. My father had seen it too,
the size of the New York phone book. They said to us, you are allowed to
stay in this country as long as you don´t go among the population and hold
lectures and try to educate the people because we do not want any changes to
our system either economically or religiously.”<br /></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(Interview with Glenn Steckling, Coast to Coast, December 11, 2019).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgczpZnB7Kwtfroqi88x8JsXeGL_WbfQVEs0W6OjhjQvzUvcD9FsvIrZyD7oLw4zsqWNCYrRvnIlbKZsu-qRzGbvYMzSyKfd_vx7shGIbffhtDQqcRVJ6unRN-t0NHBDilISJIERIftnujDpGYAxk_0FgC0c_kyuxs3nHBqK6PpLcc0fa64gaky7GuQ/s800/Glenn%20Steckling%202%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgczpZnB7Kwtfroqi88x8JsXeGL_WbfQVEs0W6OjhjQvzUvcD9FsvIrZyD7oLw4zsqWNCYrRvnIlbKZsu-qRzGbvYMzSyKfd_vx7shGIbffhtDQqcRVJ6unRN-t0NHBDilISJIERIftnujDpGYAxk_0FgC0c_kyuxs3nHBqK6PpLcc0fa64gaky7GuQ/s320/Glenn%20Steckling%202%20bl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Glenn Steckling lecturing at UFO-Sweden field investigation seminar 2018</div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>Our civilisation and planet is

react if a trusted friend and research colleague suddenly announced that he
has, for several years, been in physical contact with a group of
extraterrestrial visitors? And further claims to have, with several others,
been invited on a long journey in space to their home planet in another solar
system?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">That was the dilemma I faced a few months ago when I
read <i>Other Civilizations. Journey To Another Star System</i> by Danish photographer
and artist <a href="https://www.olree.dk/index.asp?loadContent=232951" target="_blank">Rene Erik Olsen</a>. I must admit that at first thoughts like these
crossed my mind: Is this a joke? Is he trying to test the credulity of the ufo
research community? It has taken me a lot of pondering on how to write a review
of a book that is both exceedingly controversial and fascinating.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacRVPCkehtT0Dna8Jy3Q6qbpEtjv5frCNNzxXgBe2xLKpEkzMPOacZA3mSsjjl2Ev4pdBW8HbXLJHw_rIndOKvJEmyKzaooSiAJgzYTjxMoryNbrbrZUpRpw2-8d-6-fukN46vqK8Omv8tOL2sNN9DDPEXOdMuIJQFf8xg9wCIluU2-FwhGUzePZ4Dg/s1345/Other%20Civilizations,%20Front%20and%20back%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1345" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacRVPCkehtT0Dna8Jy3Q6qbpEtjv5frCNNzxXgBe2xLKpEkzMPOacZA3mSsjjl2Ev4pdBW8HbXLJHw_rIndOKvJEmyKzaooSiAJgzYTjxMoryNbrbrZUpRpw2-8d-6-fukN46vqK8Omv8tOL2sNN9DDPEXOdMuIJQFf8xg9wCIluU2-FwhGUzePZ4Dg/s320/Other%20Civilizations,%20Front%20and%20back%20bl.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rene Erik Olsen has published three very interesting
ufo books based on his research and first contact experiences in Copenhagen
1990-1992, which I have reviewed in <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/05/george-adamski-new-evidence.html" target="_blank">earlier</a> <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-alien-visitors.html" target="_blank">blog</a> <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/07/interview-with-rene-erik-olsen.html" target="_blank">articles</a>. We have been
corresponding since 2017 and I have found no reason to doubt his sincerety or
quality of research. As a professional photographer Rene has thoroughly
investigated the photos taken by the contactee Eduard (Billy) Meier, and found
them to be fakes. What is even more interesting is Rene´s meticulous study of
the 1952 George Adamski photographs, which he considers to be genuine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On August 15, 2021 I received an email from Rene
with the following message: ”This email to inform you that I will not be able
to respond to emails as per 13 September 2021 for a period of six month (end of
March 2022). You can continue to send emails but I will not respond… You may
ask why I will not be able to respond to emails – the reason is that I have the
opportunity to do some long-distance traveling. It will simply not be possible
for me to ”be on the grid”.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">At the time I thought Rene simply was going on a
world tour investigating ufo contact cases and didn´t want to be distracted by
too much social media communication. Not until March 10, 2022 did I receive an
email again from Rene: ”I am back (returned on 7th of March at 11.30 p.m.) – it
has been an amazing journey and a life-changing experience… Book-writing has
already begun.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQHGL3KL8gpxC3Ymkag6o19e4cRS8lWpkwuR5ZCx0tAARidiKqFSTVvO34ULoXqsSttYY_gKN3WAxGsgHahhxvhendTwAs4uiicQmqAEprgjkf31wnauI-nly9f5IjCa4W8531boEhNmPM7c1kW8JavmUVgMFf17Zp7_Dpn-Z5wV8CQNSeOEDUppteA/s1175/Olsen,%20Rene%20Erik%20bl.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQHGL3KL8gpxC3Ymkag6o19e4cRS8lWpkwuR5ZCx0tAARidiKqFSTVvO34ULoXqsSttYY_gKN3WAxGsgHahhxvhendTwAs4uiicQmqAEprgjkf31wnauI-nly9f5IjCa4W8531boEhNmPM7c1kW8JavmUVgMFf17Zp7_Dpn-Z5wV8CQNSeOEDUppteA/s320/Olsen,%20Rene%20Erik%20bl.JPG" width="218" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rene Erik Olsen</div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On October 2, 2022 I read a very fascinating
interview with ufologist Michel Zirger in <i>New Dawn</i> vol. 16, no 5, <i>UFO
Disclosure A Copernican Revolution</i>. Zirger reveal his contacts with a man that
together with ”about 500 people travelled to and stayed on a planet outside our
solar system… slightly over 400 lights years away from the earth.” I mentioned
this article in a email to Rene and on October 9, 2022 he wrote: ”Now comes an
announcement from me. I am the source for the Michel Zirger interview. As you
may have noticed from my website I will in December publish a last book (I will
not write any more books about ”The Visitors”). It will a.o. be an account of
my trip (in diary form) and otherwise about ”The Visitors.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rene Olsen´s 310 page diary, <i>Other Civilizations.
Journey To Another Star System</i>, is certainly a contactee book different from
everything else published in the genre. The 169 days diary is richly
illustrated with beautiful drawings by Rene and also a few of the photos given
him by the Visitors. One of them on the front page of the book. There is also a
five page very useful index. A summary of the reason for the space peoples
contacts and work on our planet is stated by one of the Visitors: ”The
Clandestine Associated Interaction Program was initiated when we finally
decided to make a planetary effort to explore and colonize space. It would be
inevitably that during these missions we would encounter civilizations which
were less developed both intellectually and technologically. As we also were
exploring, we had to land on planets in inhabited systems. So as our nature
always has been to help where we can no
matter the circumstances, we had to establish a ”helper-program” to be able to
contact individuals to ”guide” the cultures in a clandestine way without the
culture being closer to or at our technological
and especially intellectual level. This program is still being refined and
is in use on many planets in our galaxy.” (p. 226)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Four months before departure Rene was contacted by
one of the Visitors and asked whether he would accept a journey in space based on
these preconditions:<br />
1. Be able to travel five to six months.<br />
2. No health issues of serious nature (scans will be perfomed in advance of
journey).<br />
3. No camera, telephone or recording device to be brought on board.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Rene accepted the conditions and close to midnight
on September 12th the Visitor who had asked him about the journey arrived at
Rene´s place. They went by car to a point just south of a large town in
Denmark, where Rene was to embark on a small shuttle: <br />
”There, after some walking, we came to an opening in the forest where a craft
awaited. A scan was performed before I could enter… I was then told to quickly
enter the craft and in entering, I turned to see my point-contact walking back
on the path from where we had come. The door closed without any noise behind me
and there was a slight vibration under my feet as I entered the craft. A man
was just inside the opening motioning me to enter the central cabin. As I
entered there was a woman waiting. The pilot was already at the control panel

who were also contactees: ”During the journey I had inquired who the two other
Danish people were and their circumstances for taking the trip. They both had
different stories to tell; so did all the people on board.” (p. 30) The first
hour ten other persons from different countries in Europé was to be picked up.
The group was then taken to a large cylindrical spaceship (cruiser) and there
escorted to the reception area för registration. All in all there were 500
people from 100 different countries invited on this journey. Rene met people
from Belgium, Thailand, Peru, China, India, Mexico etc. Every one is told to
put a small spherical ball into one ear, a translator making it possible to
hear and understand any language. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During a large reception for all travellers the
reason for this journey is explained: ”The woman explained that all the
approximaterly five hundred Earth people on board this cruiser would hopefully
be inspired enough to incorporate the experience into their life when getting
back to Earth. Perhaps we should not tell anybody of the experience – because
no one would believe us anyway – but that we should try to incorporate the
experience into our creative lives and in that way ”communicate” to the world
about the possibilities for Earth, without each individual actually having to step
forward and tell about their experiences. We had to choose our own way. (p.
34). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The journey to the Visitors home planet 400+ light
years distant from Earth took only a few days because of their advanced use of
gravity propulsion and electromagnetism. All travellers have their own ”Visitor
companion” to guide and help them during the journey and stay on the planet.
Because of the different interests and ages (35-70) of the travellers they can
choose different study programs and places to see when on the Visitors planet.
Rene is installed on the planet and informed about advanced robots and androids
used by the Visitors. Every household had at least one robot. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0GFnA4hE6AHQjRzly7EZgCtYNe8a_7An6yzKk_uJp3XE2f_ryEN48CPsw208GuxLv9C2LpK5Bh7ki65z-DzpOgMJsnRLMlj4GWFgZbIOYZAuDtwdVGOd65Dw5xOBDNJiCSml6NRsK-q0mfhx-59Qa2n103Sz6RrZY-C2WPBumXeyhXcr629LCaYbjPw/s1180/Visitor%20companion%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1180" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0GFnA4hE6AHQjRzly7EZgCtYNe8a_7An6yzKk_uJp3XE2f_ryEN48CPsw208GuxLv9C2LpK5Bh7ki65z-DzpOgMJsnRLMlj4GWFgZbIOYZAuDtwdVGOd65Dw5xOBDNJiCSml6NRsK-q0mfhx-59Qa2n103Sz6RrZY-C2WPBumXeyhXcr629LCaYbjPw/s320/Visitor%20companion%20bl.jpg" width="244" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rene´s Visitor companion, painting by Rene Olsen</div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">His stay on the Visitors planet is not much
different from an ordinary holiday in another country. The people look like
normal Earth citizens, but are very friendly and proficient in the use of
telepathy. Therir average lifespan is approximately two hundred and forty
years. Architecture is somewhat futuritic and the technology used very
advanced. Rene learns to use a sort of flying car, he visit shops, restaurants,

like a shopping center on Earth. There were a lot of specialized shops. There
was not much difference except that some of the assistants in the shops were
androids – looking very human-like… I went to the scanner area and scanned my
goods. An android human was standing close by and asked if I needed any help. I
said OK and thanks for asking. It took a bag and held it open for me. It

and discussions of various technical devices, as this is of special interest to
Rene, who ask about propulsion methods, food machines and all other advanced gadgets
used by the Visitors. In this respect I personally found the book somewhat
disappointing, as my interest in and knowledge of technology is minimal. <i>Other
Civilizations</i> now and then gives me the impression of reading a science fiction
novel. I had hoped to find answers to the classic existential questions: the
enigma of consciousnes, life and death, reincarnation, multiverse, good and
evil. But these issues are only addressed very briefly and not very satisfying.
An interesting psychological effect resulting from the long journey is
described by Rene. About 250 travellers were forced to discontinue the trip and
were transported back to Earth earlier because of claustrophobic attacks and
other stress-related problems, among them the other two Danish citizens.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCZJUYdzc_W7LUT-ZRUj2OJF7bDy0F_bArkAoQ0ZnOzi4djlSjWkiJoJ7Opt920pMTQXZo29WDrPDZ7iQIVuO67WIFRVS9eKH2Oc2ufjMD7I8m2uBIAr2MOEbWUm1fW4vX6Tq4S_OMpPbaRego2UBdABlDK8GGZavjDlsgrbaAwVXCMsnvJmFFWoqlQ/s744/Writing%20example%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="744" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCZJUYdzc_W7LUT-ZRUj2OJF7bDy0F_bArkAoQ0ZnOzi4djlSjWkiJoJ7Opt920pMTQXZo29WDrPDZ7iQIVuO67WIFRVS9eKH2Oc2ufjMD7I8m2uBIAr2MOEbWUm1fW4vX6Tq4S_OMpPbaRego2UBdABlDK8GGZavjDlsgrbaAwVXCMsnvJmFFWoqlQ/s320/Writing%20example%20bl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Visitor writing</div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Here a few quotes on existential issues:<br />
”A certain consciousness pervades the Universe which will be clear to every
civilization the more advanced it becomes.” (p. 80)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”That which holds the human form together is the
soul or spirit – the same as with the universe itself.” (p. 112)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”From the Old Ones they even learned that such a
thing as higher consciousness is possible.” (p. 223)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”… their culture is very much a spiritual one as
well as a highly technological one as well. These two can easily be combined
into a higher existence and there has been a planetary development in that all
of the people have reached what could possibly be described as a somewhat
”ascended” nature or existence. It does not mean that these people are not physical;
they are indeed physical, but they have acquired a physical glow which actual
is a radiating electromagnetic field which surrounds every living thing.” (p.
263)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”There is a creative force which permeates the
Universe. It is embedded within the creation of the Universe. It is an unseen
consciousness which can be sensed in every process of creational force.” (p.
265)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The problem of evil on planet Earth is only given a
brief comment: ”She had been told that Earth had chosen the hard path of
destructive ways, but they still had hope for a change of path for the Earth”.
(p. 66) This is very different from what was stated by George Adamski and other
contactees (including the Esoteric Tradition) that Earth is a <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-quarantined-planet.html" target="_blank">quarantined prison world</a> used as a sort of cosmic Alcatraz by other highly developed
civilizations in space. And that we also are visited by not very nice space
people. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I had hoped to find some interesting information on
abductions, evil space people and what or who is really behind incidents
reported in the ufo community. According to Rene there are no evil Visitors
coming to Earth. What is reported as negative experiences is the work of
intelligence agents. But that is not the reality documented by ufo
investigators, (including me) worldwide. I would like to know who was behind
the rather brutal Swedish abductions of <a href="https://fred-andersson.medium.com/march-24-1974-night-of-the-ufos-the-close-encounters-that-shook-sweden-e1ebc32eba97" target="_blank">Gösta Häger</a> 1974 and <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2013/10/what-happened-to-ante-jonsson.html" target="_blank">Ante Jonsson</a> 1984.
Or what group was behind the Swedish contactee <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-contactee-who-drove-mib-car.html" target="_blank">Richard Höglund</a> who was deeply
afraid of his Visitors and told they were totally insensitive to humans and
completely without morals, which they proved by shooting one of his friends. I
would not trust a Visitor who told me there is only love and light from space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So what is my final conclusion regarding <i>Other
Civilizations</i> and the contact experiences of Rene Olsen? The truth is I have no
final conclusion. I have found no evidence indicating fraud or deception. On
the other hand there is no empirical evidence in support of Renes´claims. The
photos from the Visitors home planet were given to Rene by one of his contacts.
Interesting is that after the journey Rene have met two other European citizens
from the trip and compared notes. What we can hope for is that some of the
other travellers also decide to publicly
tell of their experiences. A somewhat frustrating statement by Rene is that,
after about one hundred years work on our planet, the Visitors have now left
Earth and will never return. Other groups continue similar clandestine activity
and help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is certainly a brave man and I must confess it is delightful to read a contact
story with highly developed and benevolent Visitors here to help and inspire. This
planet of pain and sorrow sure has a need for assistance - from wherever we can
get it.</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-27250988659331067592022-12-03T16:38:00.002+01:002022-12-04T08:21:06.219+01:00The Frank Howard Enigma<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In my latest blog entry I briefly mentioned the
Australian contactee Frank Howard. Very little is known or published about his life
and contact experiences. None of my Australian research colleagues has been able
to provide further data. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">As usual I have
to conclude that another fascinating contactee has been neglected and not
investigated by the ufo research community.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There are four books by Frank Howard, published
between 1976-1983: <i>A Planetary Saga Almega</i> (1976), <i>Return of Alizantil</i> (1976), <i>Journey
in Space with Alizantil</i> (1978), <i>An Extraterrestrial Message to the Nations</i>
(1983). <span style="background: white;">Howard narrates his contacts
and secret work with benevolent extraterrestrial visitors, who take him to their
bases on the Moon and the Antarctic. He is also given a journey to an inner
earth civilization. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5Oc1GvZ0z_FqTB2PRgJTNXfm5PqShNSwj51dtyfLUJLp1ClYBpiulQ944VRmfzTicf214N4aOUHIn7RB1mVMmXuBKYhRIUmdvRBkTZPIBC3ILpp1xj8KNVECIPkIMf_db1XmpTAfKHlEgNXq-JiTTlg7ko9BY-WlPZIUtPIQ2JBFiTA2q8g99JUkzg/s600/Journey%20in%20Space%20With%20Alizantil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5Oc1GvZ0z_FqTB2PRgJTNXfm5PqShNSwj51dtyfLUJLp1ClYBpiulQ944VRmfzTicf214N4aOUHIn7RB1mVMmXuBKYhRIUmdvRBkTZPIBC3ILpp1xj8KNVECIPkIMf_db1XmpTAfKHlEgNXq-JiTTlg7ko9BY-WlPZIUtPIQ2JBFiTA2q8g99JUkzg/s320/Journey%20in%20Space%20With%20Alizantil.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Upon my first reading
of the books I was inclined to regard them as fiction, inspired by the
contactees of the 1950s era. But a lecture by Australian ufologist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcveUaK-RO8" target="_blank">Martin Gottschall</a>, at the 1996 Australian UFO conference, made me reconsider the case.
Here a few quotes from the lecture:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”I got to know Frank Howard in the late 1970s through
one of his books which the association had in its library. When I read it I was
very impressed by the quality and content and discovered that he also lived in
Brisbane and the address was in the book so I went to see him. And that is how
I came to visit Howard on very regular intervals for a period of several years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I wish to speak about a particular meeting he (Bob Luckoff) had
with a certain individual in Frank´s home which in my mind suggests very
strongly that Frank Howards´ home was a place where ETs visiting this planet found
refuge when they needed it… or friendly conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I don´t remember how Bob Luckoff came to know Frank
Howard. He too started meeting Frank at regular intervals and sit down on
Sunday afternoons and talk about the cosmos and other such things. It happened
on one occasion that Bob was at Frank´s place and Frank was visited by a
another man. This man was unusual in that his skin was covered with what looked
like warts from a distance. Every visible millimeter of skin was… When he shook
hands with this individual and felt the back of his hand there wasn´t … they
were very smooth. Like very smooth silk.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Very smooth hands, seemingly without underlying bone
structure is a feature that comes up in several contactee cases, a. o. the <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2013/12/who-was-paul-m-vest.html" target="_blank">Paul M. Vest</a> experience in California 1953. Besides this statement in the Frank
Howard story there is very little empirical evidence making it possible to
determine the validity of his claims. We can then only try to evaluate the intellectual
and philosophical quality of the messages given in the books. When rereading the
books I was quite surprised to find the philosophy presented by the visitors
basically in accordance with the core Esoteric Tradition (Helena P. Blavatsky, Alice
Bailey, Henry T. Laurency a.o.). To me, as a longtime student of esotericism,
this made the Frank Howard books deeply fascinating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">For
the critical investigator to accept the esoteric worldview as a paradigm and
working hypothesis most scholars would probably need some form of empirical
data indicating a multiverse. For me the empirical evidence became obvious by
investigating UFO and paranormal phenomena. But of course a bridge to
esotericism could be found by researching a number of borderland phenomena:
healing, out-of-body experiences, remote viewing, materializations etc. In my
many blog entries I have tried to show that accepting esotericism as a working
hypothesis does not imply irrationalism or a loss of intellectual integrity. UFO
researchers such as Jacques Vallee and Allen Hynek have entertained similar
ideas. The UFO community have much to learn by a study of the <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2021/04/ufo-research-and-esoteric-paradigm.html" target="_blank">Esoteric Tradition</a>. I predict many heureka moment for those who wish to follow this path
in UFO research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
Frank Howard books are a real challenge to read because of the poetic language
and many repetitions. Interesting statements and messages becomes somewhat
hidden among a mass of poetry. As a help for researchers I have extracted quotes
on various themes and ideas and compiled them under different headings. Of
special interest is a quote from the visitors that they use deception
(misleading statements) to hide their real origin.</span></p>

gets a real surprice when she lead him to a hidden saucer-shaped craft, in
which she leave. The woman belongs to an ancient, highly advanced civilization,

in different ways by researchers for many years. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In their discussion of theories in <i>The Edge of
Reality</i>, Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee used the term earth-bound aliens
for this group of visitors. Mac Tonnies called them <i>Cryptoterrestrials</i> in his book, published in 2010.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”They have hidden behind the extraterrestrial myth”
writes John Keel in a letter to my AFU colleague Anders Liljegren, August 10,
1982. And Keel continues: ”Forget the flying saucer propaganda. We are dealing
with something very close to home.”. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During my many years of
investigation of contactee cases I have now and then pondered whether this
could actually be the answer to some of the very physical contact experiences
reported worldwide. If we are partly dealing with one or more groups of
earth-based and undiscovered aliens we are faced with an even greater enigma
than extraterrestrial visitors. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In several books and blog articles I have, from
different perspectives, tried to answer the question – <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/05/who-are-these-people.html" target="_blank">who are these people?</a>
Human-looking visitors who obviously mingle in our society and possess an
advanced technology. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">They are physical like us
and seem to be earth-based in their activities.. If this is the case, where is
their hiding place on this planet? Could some specialized and covert
intelligence groups have discovered who these people are, trying to deal with
this delicate issue in their own way? Disclosure of such a fantastic scenario
would probably not be regarded as an option by the people who have a need to
know. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

are of course many documented encounters where earth-bound visitors appears to
be a reasonable explanation. First of all I would like to mention my own
investigations of the Anna case. She and her husband were invited to dinner i
Guatemala 1959 by a visitor that bears all the hallmarks, in appearance and
behavior, of belonging to this planet. His rather flippant way of asking Anna´s
husband if he wanted a trip to Venus indicates a cover story. My two-part

investigated by Timothy Good and published in his book <i>Alien Base</i>. After observing a landed craft with two visitors
entering a car Mrs Marchmont became closely involved with the visitors. On
several occasions she cooked meals for them at her London flat. She was told that
their group would intervene in the event of a nuclear catastrophe, if it
threatened to destroy our planet. If the visitors were actually earth-based
such a plan would be a first priority. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

by a man named Leland and documented by Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke (<i>Encounters

happened during several nights at his ranch near the Nebraska border: ”They
come at night. They hover over the field. They lower automobiles to the ground.
They´re filled with people. The craft goes away and when the car returns the
next night, only the driver returns. They take the car and the driver on board
their spacecraft and then they´re gone again.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2QNtdgQfktBgccg_MVcoqtRRMzXV7HMFo-RCvrkCXBrpGDj1X4d5kzmODolCqSv6FBTjS3CdKyYtclunQF4GZOcuxJd6NqHuSFhR5QYLKqbSnbfIR9F52E4OUqINs6tEnsSe0g1A3yzFqm54lgM80vQRS9UIhSBaLi0knw6S85T5pGPxc0l4QWjs7w/s1027/Clarke%20Encounters%20with%20Star%20People%20bl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1027" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2QNtdgQfktBgccg_MVcoqtRRMzXV7HMFo-RCvrkCXBrpGDj1X4d5kzmODolCqSv6FBTjS3CdKyYtclunQF4GZOcuxJd6NqHuSFhR5QYLKqbSnbfIR9F52E4OUqINs6tEnsSe0g1A3yzFqm54lgM80vQRS9UIhSBaLi0knw6S85T5pGPxc0l4QWjs7w/s320/Clarke%20Encounters%20with%20Star%20People%20bl.jpg" width="218" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p>

to Bosley his father had worked for a special assignement team in the U.S. Air
Force to find and retrieve crashed craft. He had inspected remains from several
crashes, including human-looking aliens and was briefed at Wright-Patterson
about the real nature of the craft and aliens: ”A civilization thrives
underground, hidden from the surface world… These peope are not
extraterrestrials. Quite the contrary, they are among the oldest people on
this planet… Occasionally, they come and go, emerging in their vehicles, and
occasionally they crash. They are human in appearance, so much so that they can
move among us with ease with just a little effort.”</span></p>

Frank Howard I regarded them as works of fiction. But then I found a YouTube
lecture by Australian ufologist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcveUaK-RO8" target="_blank">Martin Gottschall</a> at the 1996 Australian UFO
conference. Gottschall, who knew Frank Howard, found evidence that ”his home was
a safe house for visiting ETs, and that he would not have wanted to attract
undue interest.) The titles of his works are: A Planetary Saga Almega; Return
of Alizantil; Journey in Space With Alizantil; An Extraterrestrial Message to
the Nations. The books are written in a very special poetical style that can be
quite exhausting to read because of the many repetitions. But buried in all
this prose are some rather startling and fascinating statements. Frank Howard
narrates his contacts with benevolent extraterrestrial visitors who also take
him to their bases on the Moon and the Antarctic. He is also given a journey to
an inner earth civilization. This is the first time I have read of visitors claiming
they use deception to hide their true inner earth origin.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbpioDJOPtzsQzDVX3bC4iTT3aC_L_eDldU9xZm3gYhSMXEfTcFRzp8gj7ptwC2sZeDIE22nQy4KnbxgBRKHMi6Z--0k7nete3hh0CulcUOdBXqgeBvCieWpDB_vXVjW7dyMTEYiaKZiCowSU9EFeDd18FtoqprV3LtWQ4qHmhPUYfwpcEdyoB26Xlg/s500/A%20Planetary%20Saga.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbpioDJOPtzsQzDVX3bC4iTT3aC_L_eDldU9xZm3gYhSMXEfTcFRzp8gj7ptwC2sZeDIE22nQy4KnbxgBRKHMi6Z--0k7nete3hh0CulcUOdBXqgeBvCieWpDB_vXVjW7dyMTEYiaKZiCowSU9EFeDd18FtoqprV3LtWQ4qHmhPUYfwpcEdyoB26Xlg/s320/A%20Planetary%20Saga.jpg" width="272" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZXQ_NaKC9tVGi4792hH_1IsB52IBTreVUxJ2XXQ7FOVzn98U00VmxICn7IiIN31SLdDopnxMMpiUnf0Zo9f_5ugboJZu9vgx_gf3twdo6SvbPmORf9tWZOVmGvkGPhFUhrczS3M_bD2Lb6W3Z7DAnyHXSkQrkGAyENwSqk8j1h6VTYxE_9wrRLOfzZA/s600/Journey%20in%20Space%20With%20Alizantil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZXQ_NaKC9tVGi4792hH_1IsB52IBTreVUxJ2XXQ7FOVzn98U00VmxICn7IiIN31SLdDopnxMMpiUnf0Zo9f_5ugboJZu9vgx_gf3twdo6SvbPmORf9tWZOVmGvkGPhFUhrczS3M_bD2Lb6W3Z7DAnyHXSkQrkGAyENwSqk8j1h6VTYxE_9wrRLOfzZA/s320/Journey%20in%20Space%20With%20Alizantil.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><br />

and conclusion regarding contactee research is found in the epilogue to

neglected, especially by American ufologists, it is the classic contactees of
the 1950s. This work by McGhee is therefore a welcome contribution to our
knowledge of a somewhat taboo and controversial subject.</p>

order, the history of the contactee phenomenon beginning with pre-Adamski contacts
like Albert Coe, Leo Dworshak and Udo Wartena. <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/04/from-outer-space-to-you.html" target="_blank">Howard Menger</a> is also included in
this list as his contacts began already in 1932. But here Moira makes a rather
strange remark regarding Menger: ”He once suggested he may write another book
which would ´settle lingering doubts and create more of a public sensation than
anything revealed in the past´. He never did write that book, and died in 2009
aged eigthy-seven.” (p. 19). In a letter to me, May 16, 1985, Howard Menger
said that his new book would soon by published. And it was published. In 1991 I
received a signed copy of <i>The High
Bridge Incident. The Story Behind the Story</i>, written in collaboration with his
wife Connie Menger.<p></p>

about contactees is her long-standing friendship with two exceptional women, <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2013/04/millen-cooke-ufos-and-esoteric-tradition.html" target="_blank">Millen Cooke</a>
and <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2020/03/rosemary-decker-and-millen-le-poer.html" target="_blank">Rosemary Decker</a>. Both of them ”silent contactees” and deeply involved in
the early contactee scene in the U.S. In her former book <i>The Alien Gene</i>, Moira McGhee
made quite a startling claim in connection with her two friends: ”Recently I
have been asking myself just how connected both these friends of mine were with
the Visitors? I have been able to gather they had both had personal contacts
before 1952. They also knew in advance of Adamski´s meeting in the desert with
Orthon, but chose to stay back at Palomar – why? Was Adamski the ´chosen one´
to pass on messages?”<br />(Moira McGhee, The Alien Gene, p. 47).<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2YM7q1ewFH0/YIQuzT48JkI/AAAAAAAANfM/fq8hhMPDzKYUgCAGyI_1CrfAHpGv8pnQwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/McGhee%252C%2BMoira%2Bbl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2YM7q1ewFH0/YIQuzT48JkI/AAAAAAAANfM/fq8hhMPDzKYUgCAGyI_1CrfAHpGv8pnQwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/McGhee%252C%2BMoira%2Bbl.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Moira McGhee</div><br />The chapters George Adamski, Rosemary and Millen are filled
with much new data and interesting discussions on the implications of their
contact experiences. There is also a reprint of <i>Son of the Sun</i>, a prophetic
article written by Millen Cooke in 1947, using the pen name Alexander Blade. Rosemary
Decker had a long association with George Adamski but eventually, with other
friends, felt compelled to withdraw her support: ”Yes, he was contacted,
although his ego was inflated beyond a safe point, and he subsequently suffered
the consequences… We were all concerned about his well-being, and grew worried
about his later ego trips and false claims, but he was not reachable by reason.”
(p. 67)<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today it is very difficult to come upon any new data on
Millen Cooke and <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2020/02/rosemary-decker-silent-contactee.html" target="_blank">Rosemary Decker</a>. They had both very extensive collections of
UFO material. After her death Millen´s archive was passed on to Rosemary. But
Rosemary´s home in California burned down some years later and everything was
lost. ”We will never know their hidden secrets”, writes McGhee. Somewhat
frustating is that Moira herself has hundreds of letters from her two friends,
letters which she will not share with other researchers. Hopefully a future
generation of investigators will have access to these letters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49fNivZE7aI/YIQvs-Bi-TI/AAAAAAAANfU/ApL6aHbabh4vrkg-9cw22Riccdez4-0OgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1013/Millen%2B%2BCooke-1943%2Bbl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1013" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49fNivZE7aI/YIQvs-Bi-TI/AAAAAAAANfU/ApL6aHbabh4vrkg-9cw22Riccdez4-0OgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Millen%2B%2BCooke-1943%2Bbl.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Millen Cooke 1943</div><br />From my vantage point here in Sweden I was deeply fascinated
by the chapters on early Australian and New Zealand ufology and ufologists:
Fred and Phyllis Dickeson, Fred Stone, Edgar Jarrold a.o. Fred and Phyllis
Dickeson were early Adamski co-workers but terminated their support when they
found his later claims untenable. Instead they became involved with the rather
unusual contactee Mr. X who had both physical meetings with alien visitors and
received their messages in his letter box. McGhee devotes an entire chapter to
this contact case and also an annex with his writings. I find this story highly
dubious, especially since the visitors take definite sides in the Middle East
conflict in this message received on June 8, 1967: ”We are making further
attempts to rectify the world trouble… Israel is on the side of justice, for
she has a destiny to fulfill… That is where our sympathies are. Her part is
all-important to us and the whole world. In our prophecies of long ago, we are
told of her rise to great things. Justice is on her side.” (p. 113-114). In my
view no culturally highly advanced alien visitors would take sides in a
national conflict or war. With messages like these from Mr. X one could speculate
if he became involved in a covert Mossad operation, using fake space messages
to increase the support for Israel in the Six-Day War between 5-10 June 1967.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two chapters are devoted to the very controversial issue of
aliens among us. Here we find summaries of the experiences of Daniel Fry, South
African contactee Edwin, Ludwig Pallman a.o. Included in this list is also the very
complicated Italian Amicizia case, which I have never considered to be a
genuine contact. <span style="background: white;">According to
Edoardo Russo in Italy his group CISU has thoroughly investigated the Amicizia
story and are very adamant that this is a complicated hoax involving many
people in Italy, "a dark page of Italian ufology". Unfortunately they
have not published the extensive CISU documentation, which I hope they will do
in the near future.</span> My Danish friend and research colleague <a href="http://www.olree.dk/" target="_blank">ReneErik Olsen</a>, a professional photographer, have studied the photos and films from
Italy and concludes they are fakes using models. If the aliens described in the
Amicizia story really do exist they are not the kind of people I would buy a
used car from.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white;">Very early in my
ufological career I became involved in several quite remarkable aliens among us
cases in Sweden. Ever since then I have often pondered the $64 question – <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/05/who-are-these-people.html" target="_blank">Who are these people</a>. When John Keel visited me in October 1976 we especially discussed
this enigma, involving also the MIB – Men In Black. Keel was intrigued
by this aspect and convinced there were aliens among us. “I´d really like to
get one”, was his comment.</span> If we as private UFO researchers can dicover
so much data on this hidden activity then special operations intelligence groups
must have studied these alien visitors for
a long time and keeping an eye on their activities. The <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2014/04/reluctant-contactees.html" target="_blank">Olden Moore</a> case
of 1957 is an early indication of an operation by intelligence operatives. UFOs
is not only a scientific problem but a <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/02/ufo-research-and-counterintelligence.html" target="_blank">counterintelligence</a> problem.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white;">Moira McGhee
mention this connection in several chapters: ”It only stands to reason that the
government would keep this in their ´need to know files´. If the general public
were to know that we had extraterrestrials incognito in our midst, it wouldn´t be
long before every ´nut job´ in our community would be accusing their
neighbours, or others,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">of being ´aliens´
and a taking the law into their own hands.” (s. 184). I agree with Moira and
have never been an advocate of total disclosure, which in my view would be both
dangerous and irresponsible. Better a slow process with the help of private UFO
organizations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>The Days of the
Space Brothers</i> is a good introduction to and history of the contactee enigma.
There is an extensive index but unfortunately no notes and references to the
many cases and statements in the book. Private photos of especially Millen
Cooke and Rosemary Decker would have also been a bonus. Hopefully this book will inspire a new generation of investigators delving into
this most fascinating subject. A hope was beautifully expressed by Fred
Stone, a pioneer in Australian ufology and quoted by McGhee:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">”Keep plugging away as a pioneer, watch for every
angle where-in an answer may be found. Do not be satisfied with the accepted
ones, maybe there is some greater answer than that generally considered the
real one – an answer that perhaps you or others have avoided because it is
offbeat, and you are afraid of being looked askance at or perhaps not so
popular… Now to those who I know are true pioneers, those in some cases are
leaders of groups, some of whom are deep thinkers, and are still pioneering on,
still searching and digging… Continue your great quest, do not be deterred or
swayed from it, and if age and health cause you to take a quieter way of life,
continue giving all aid to youth, hand the torch on to them…”</span> </p>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-83259357718595974652021-04-08T17:35:00.000+02:002021-04-08T17:35:17.962+02:00UFO Research and the Esoteric Paradigm - A Guide for Students and Investigators<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nLFDNYL3wR8/YG8iMbZ7t0I/AAAAAAAANd4/pO5bx6YQAJcrhAKl9nSVVlUh9nrnFxBhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1175/Vallee%2BForbidden%2BScience%2BThree%2Bbl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nLFDNYL3wR8/YG8iMbZ7t0I/AAAAAAAANd4/pO5bx6YQAJcrhAKl9nSVVlUh9nrnFxBhQCLcBGAsYHQ/w273-h400/Vallee%2BForbidden%2BScience%2BThree%2Bbl.jpg" width="273" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Most serious
field investigators who have spent years documenting UFO, Fortean and
paranormal phenomena sooner or later come to a point where they start asking
themselves the basic question: what are the implications of all these
phenomena? There are of course ufologists and Forteans who gather cases like
stamp collectors, without bothering about paradigm issues or the scientific and
philosophical challenges implied by the phenomena. But for investigators with a
scholarly or intellectual approach the various phenomena are usually the
starting point of a life long search for the deeper existential questions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white;">Field
investigators who from personal experience have discovered that the orthodox
reductionist-materialist paradigm is untenable when confronted with UFOs and
paranormal phenomena find themselves facing a dilemma. How to find a world view
or paradigm that can be used as a reasonable working hypothesis to account for
all the unexplained phenomena? Entering the field of alternative world views is
for many a mission impossible with the hundreds of conflicting teachings from
different groups and cults. Like entering a djungle full of snakes and swamps.
Still, a pathfinder force attitude to this problem is necessary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white;">The critical and
scientifically minded student will eventually, if persistent, in this djungle
of conflicting messages and teachers, discover that there is a philosophy and
tradition of a quality vastly different from the popular new age channelings.
It is referred to as The Esoteric Tradition, Ancient Wisdom or Science of the
Multiverse and can be regarded as the third intellectual force or pillar in
cultural history alongside religion and science.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: white;">For those
non-conformist and heretical ufologists who wish to open the door to Forbidden
Science this guide in using Esotericism as a paradigm or working hypothesis can
be a starting point and inspiration. From a philosophical or bird´s-eye view
ufology is very much more than just simple identification of lights in the sky.
It may take many years of field investigation and study but eventually you will
probably arrive at the same conclusion as pioneer ufologist Jacques Vallee:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> ”…the history of ufology should be placed
within an esoteric context. Throughout history there has been a tradition of
higher knowledge, and the claim that it was accessible to us, if only we agreed
to be tested, to work through certain spiritual problems… That´s the meaning of
the hermetic schools. The UFO problem, the question of parapsychology, are central
to this business. Looking for the solution isn´t just a scientific project;
it´s a quest, an initiation, an enigma like that of the Sphinx…”.</span></span><br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />

Shunned and often regarded as of little interest to serious ufology, except
from a psychological or sociological viewpoint. This is especially noticed in
studies of the classic contactees of the 1950s. My 50+ years of investigation
of the contactee enigma has given me a somewhat different perspective and
approach to this subject than is usually presented in mainstream scientific
ufology. For those students and investigators who wish to enter what Jacques
Vallee has aptly termed Forbidden Science here is a reference guide to my
articles on one of the greatest enigmas of our times.</p>

after August 2020. The reason, as I have explained on FaceBook, is various
health problems which have reduced my working capacity. From now on I will only
write blog articles if something of special interest comes up.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In 2015 I presented a <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2015/10/what-i-have-been-trying-to-say.html">position statement</a>, a summary

many blog posts I have asserted that accepting, as a working hypothesis, the
reality of a multiverse as presented in the Esoteric Tradition does not imply
irrationalism or a loss of intellectual integrity. Like Hynek and Vallee I see
no problem in having one foot in empirical science and one foot in esotericism.
In Forbidden Science, vol I, Jacques Vallee expound his view on this problem:
”To me there is indeed a fundamental reality of hermetic science…Everyone must
find his or her own expression of it. The spiritual path I have chosen is that
of intelligence tempered by the fire of love, but always applied to accessible,
solid, consistent, calibrated facts.” (p. 82). This is esoteric philosophy, an
aspiration towards the good, the true, and the beautiful. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gf-KXog345Y/X4Wkk5mY3iI/AAAAAAAANS4/XkWp6R8pr-8TxoT31Q0BT6tmOjV_LTz0wCLcBGAsYHQ/s657/Vallee%2BForbidden%2BScience%2B1%2Bbl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="433" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gf-KXog345Y/X4Wkk5mY3iI/AAAAAAAANS4/XkWp6R8pr-8TxoT31Q0BT6tmOjV_LTz0wCLcBGAsYHQ/w264-h400/Vallee%2BForbidden%2BScience%2B1%2Bbl.jpg" width="264" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In the follwing blog entries you will find my

untenable to defend a materialist, reductionist or physicalist worldview. There
are two basic reasons. The enigma of consciousness and the enormous amount of
well documented paranormal phenomena, including UFO phenomena. Facts clearly
indicating that reality is larger than what we presently know and can
scientifically verify. Hopefully the new generation of ufologists will keep the
torch of research burning, searching and investigating these profund mysteries.
But they will have to be heretics and intellectual non-conformists and dare to
knock on the door of Forbidden Science. Adhering to the motto of my old mentor Riley
Crabb: ”If I have one goal in life it is an uncompromising search for Truth,
whatever that might be, and wherever it may lead.”</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-89369035654640686682020-08-23T16:30:00.003+02:002020-08-24T08:25:45.701+02:00Swedish Women Ufologists<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Perusing the biographies in any UFO encyclopedia it
becomes evident that ufology has to a large extent been the occupation of men. I
did a fast check in Ronald Story´s classic <i>The Encyclopedia of UFOs</i> (1980) and
found 98 biographical entries on male ufologists and 5 (five!) entries on
female ufologists. I have no good answer for the cause of this difference, but
the situation is somewhat similar in Sweden. In this blog article I would like
to present and honor some prominent Swedish women ufologists. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pUGPYYakuKc/X0Jz-g43wpI/AAAAAAAANNY/pWICusuCCWQsc-1sdcvMcFtaWQwVENZDQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1097/Story%2BThe%2BEncyclopedia%2Bof%2BUFOs%2Bbl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1097" data-original-width="800" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pUGPYYakuKc/X0Jz-g43wpI/AAAAAAAANNY/pWICusuCCWQsc-1sdcvMcFtaWQwVENZDQCLcBGAsYHQ/w239-h328/Story%2BThe%2BEncyclopedia%2Bof%2BUFOs%2Bbl.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>

not a ufologist in the ordinary sense I would not hesitate to designate Miss
Edith Nicolaisen (1911-1986) the Mother of the Swedish UFO movement. Her
pioneering work inspired thousands of people. Together with three ladies from
the Theosophical Society (Adyar) Edith Nicolaisen founded the publishing house <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-parthenon-archive.html">Parthenon</a>
in 1957 and moved from Copenhagen to Hälsingborg, Sweden. In spite of a severe car accident, periods of illness and many other obstacles Ediths succeeded in
publishing many of the early classics in UFO contactee literature. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Several years later she described the heureka moment
in her life when she decided on her life´s mission: "The first book I read
was that of Leslie-Adamski´s <i>Flying Saucers Have Landed</i> and something in me
recognized the truth, however fantastic it all sounded to my intellect and
narrow-minded teaching, we all have received. I am a Danish citizen, who in
1954 was faced with the difficult choice either to accept the doors suddenly
flung open for an additional three years college-training in USA for a future
career under WHO Geneve... or, to volunteer for the SAUCER-cause here in
Sweden, which meant to chose the "thorny and stony" road of the
lonesome pioneer. After a fierce fight between intellect and heart, the latter
gained supremacy." <br />

för interplanetariska studier</i> (The Society for Interplanetary Studies) at
Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg on March 19, 1958. This group
of UFO-interested technology students soon disbanded but it was the first
attempt to found a UFO society in Sweden. She also inspired the founding of
<i><a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-worlds-oldest-ufo-society.html">Malmö Interplanetariska Sällskap</a></i> (MIS), a UFO society still active today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ufologists, contactees, esotericists and new-age activists from around the

AFU and is a treasure trove of valuable data for research on the early UFO and contactee

later, when enrollment lists were circulated for those who wanted to
participate in the formation of a UFO society in Sweden. On March 23, 1958

several members of <i>Borderland Sciences Research Foundation</i> (BSRF): Riley Crabb,
<a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-ufo-contacts-of-trevor-james.html">Trevor James Constable</a> and Dr. Ruth Drown. She was for many years Regional

became increasingly aware of that any type of serious UFO research required an
extensive and easily accessible archive, covering all aspects of the phenomenon.
Not just reports, books, magazines etc. but also private correspondence and
organizational files, facilitating a thorough study of the history of the UFO
movement, including the psychological and sociological aspects. From the Heureka
Moment when we became aware of the importance of saving archives the AFU team has
consistently ”pestered” old ufologists with requests to donate their collections.
No wonder Robert ”Bob” Rickard has named us The Viking Raiders.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jhyhI91xLSo/XzPbUNrEfQI/AAAAAAAANJs/n1LyBLpsovkOR1_y60S0V_VwxPSCD889ACLcBGAsYHQ/s580/920625%2BClas%2BSvahn%2Bbl%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="580" height="378" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jhyhI91xLSo/XzPbUNrEfQI/AAAAAAAANJs/n1LyBLpsovkOR1_y60S0V_VwxPSCD889ACLcBGAsYHQ/w464-h378/920625%2BClas%2BSvahn%2Bbl%2B2.jpg" width="464" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clas Svahn ready for our first road trip, Mariestad June 25, 1992</div><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In the 1990s we began a
systematic effort to locate old Swedish ufologists and representatives of UFO
groups no longer active, to salvage and retrieve as many archives as possible.
In this way much of Swedish UFO history was saved for future research.
Practically all people contacted generously donated their archives but now and
then our inquiry came to late and we were informed that all material had been
burnt or dumped not long ago. A sad message when the collection was especially
large or valuable. But many times we could celebrate a happy ending to our
efforts when travelling home to AFU with still another archive in the car.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We head south towards Ängelholm and the home of pioneer ufologist and science
fiction author Henrik Nanne. He wrote several sf-novels using the pen name Carl
Henner. Henrik was a close associate of Edith Nicolaisen, founder of the
publishing house Parthenon and he was the translator of the Swedish edition of
Flying Saucers Have Landed by Desmond Leslie and George Adamski. Together with
Henrik Nanne we first make a visit to the UFO monument outside Ängelholm
sponsored by Swedish close encounter witness and contactee Gösta Carlsson. We
spend the rest of the day in Henrik´s small one room apartment listening to his
memories of the early UFO movement and also packing part of the Parthenon
archive donated to AFU by Henrik. He offer us to stay the night in his small
apartment but there are no beds for us so we try to sleep on the kitchen floor
with only some sheets underneath. Not much sleep of course. We wake up every
half hour with aching limbs. Luckily we were offered a couple of Whiskys before
bedtime. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U45YVpNtBcs/XzPcbKRcacI/AAAAAAAANJ8/VtR9gA7K62o9wUvkyp2k6xiaTlWwG75UwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/Nanne920623%2Bbl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="521" data-original-width="800" height="267" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U45YVpNtBcs/XzPcbKRcacI/AAAAAAAANJ8/VtR9gA7K62o9wUvkyp2k6xiaTlWwG75UwCLcBGAsYHQ/w410-h267/Nanne920623%2Bbl.jpg" width="410" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clas Svahn and Henrik Nanne at the Gösta Carlsson UFO monument, Ängelholm June 23, 1992</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rb9-FqpX98k/XzPc0kIH_3I/AAAAAAAANKE/M5wZWBwDPvs0MYopdXhAEz4YtxQCmrQfgCLcBGAsYHQ/s980/Henner%252C%2BInvasion%2Bfr%25C3%25A5n%2Brymden.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="980" data-original-width="620" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rb9-FqpX98k/XzPc0kIH_3I/AAAAAAAANKE/M5wZWBwDPvs0MYopdXhAEz4YtxQCmrQfgCLcBGAsYHQ/w324-h512/Henner%252C%2BInvasion%2Bfr%25C3%25A5n%2Brymden.jpg" width="324" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Science fiction novel by Henrik Nanne (Carl Henner) published 1958</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>

Tired and with aching limbs – but with high spirits - we continue our journey
to Ebbe Johansson, another of the Swedish UFO pioneers, chairman of Malmö
Interplanetariska Sällskap (MIS), founded in 1958. We also met Gert Carlsson
and his wife. Gert was one of the founders of the magazine Arcanum, with
articles on esoterism, UFOs and ancient mysteries. Arcanum also had a large library,

from a letter from John Keel to my AFU colleague Anders Liljegren, August 10,
1982. And Keel continues: ”Forget the flying saucer propaganda. We are dealing
with something very close to home.”. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">During my many years of
investigation of contactee cases I have now and then pondered whether this
could actually be the answer to some of the very physical contact experiences
reported worldwide. If we are partly dealing with one or more groups of
earth-based and undiscovered aliens we are faced with an even greater enigma
than extraterrestrial visitors. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uuobGZ6IwJE/XyWbmJv3jxI/AAAAAAAANIg/J3-mB4Xaq5wj7_KmOFFg4PegDZlSjvuWwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1296/Keel%2BOperation%2BTrojan%2BHorse%2Bbl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1296" data-original-width="800" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uuobGZ6IwJE/XyWbmJv3jxI/AAAAAAAANIg/J3-mB4Xaq5wj7_KmOFFg4PegDZlSjvuWwCLcBGAsYHQ/w316-h512/Keel%2BOperation%2BTrojan%2BHorse%2Bbl.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">To delve into these
aspects of the UFO enigma the ufologist has to be both a meticulous, critical
investigator and a detective. In-depth research of close encounter and contact
cases of this type is time-consuming and can be quite unnerving as you will
discover facts very difficult or impossible to publish. Ufology at this level
is very far from writing reports of lights in the sky or being entertained by
fake videos on YouTube. You have all the chances of entering Forbidden Science.</span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There are contactees who have doubted whether the
aliens they have encountered really come from Venus, Mars etc. as they
sometimes claim. An interesting example is Enrique Castillo Rincon from Costa
Rica, author of <i>UFOs. A Great New Dawn for Humanity</i> (1997). </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Enrique meet a businessman, Cyril Weiss, of Swiss
nationality and they become friends. Later he encounters this man aboard a UFO,
as he actually belongs to an advanced group of extraterrestrials trying to help
Earth. Enrique is taken to their secret retreat or base in the Andes. Enrique
is given secret code keyes to be used to identify agents of the organization
but also as a protection against "the opposition". Whether it is the
"opposition" or a real intelligence group, in 1974 Enrique is
contacted by three foreign-looking individuals offering to take him to
Washington D.C., all expenses paid, for a test in "regressive
hypnosis". He accepts the invitation: "Outside, two men were waiting
with a luxurious, dark-coloured Cadillac. I started feeling like a star in a
suspense movie." (p. 113) After this visit to Washington D.C. and
interrogation Enrique has several doubts: "What were the true identities
of those obscure agents who could take me and return me to Bogota, with
arrangements made with a complete network of people, all so well coordinated?
What were their true motivations?"

pretend to have been appointed by some divinity to carry some message to the
suffering and almost disgraced human race...Over twenty years have passed and I
still don´t know why I was contacted. Was it plain chance?... Why was an
individual belonging to the "sandwich-class" (middle-class), such as
myself, assigned such an "ungrateful" task as this one, which has
meant jeers, calumnies, epithets, and nick-names against my person and my
dignity?" (p.xiii-xiv)</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">A case of very physical and partly normal contact with aliens is reported
by a man named Leland and documented by Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke (</span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Encounters
With Star People</i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">, Chapter 6, They Are Among Us). He describes what has
happened during several nights at his ranch near the Nebraska border: ”They
come at night. They hover over the field. They lower automobiles to the ground.
They´re filled with people. The craft goes away and when the car returns the
next night, only the driver returns. They take the car and the driver on board
their spacecraft and then they´re gone again.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Leland especially remember one night when he noticed that the car had a
flat tire. The driver got out and walked to Leland´s cabin. ”He was a strange
looking fellow… He wore a black suit with a white shirt and kept pulling at his
necktie like he was not used to wearing it. He avoided looking at me so I never
got a good look at his face, but he had a short thick neck. Almost no neck.
Like his head sat directly at his shoulders. Maybe that´s why he struggled with
the necktie. He just stood there. I got the feeling he wanted me to follow
him”.</span></p>

None of them spoke. Leland help them change the tire and for this work he
receives ten real silver dollars. Asked by Ardy Sixkiller Clarke what makes him
think they are not humans his comment is: ”Well, they came in a spacecraft for
one thing. They weren´t friendly. None of them spoke to me. They acted strange.
Like they were scared or they didn´t belong here. The women were wearing those
high heel shoes and had trouble walking in them like they had never worn them
before.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

activity theme was discussed in an article, <i>Unseen, Unspoken, Unknown</i>, by R.
Perry Collins, published in Ivan T. Sanderson´s classic magazine </span><i style="background-color: transparent;">Pursuit</i><span style="background-color: transparent;"> vol. 22 no.
1, 1991. Collins mention several cases involving aliens leaving UFOs and entering
ordinary cars. "There have been UFO reports that may be directly
representative of actions that are not staged, that are not demonstrations and
may have not been intended for our perception." A newspaperman from the
Miami Herald told Collins of a case involving a man in Miami, Florida. One
evening he noticed a large, dark UFO hovering low over a field at the rear of
his building. The object began lowering two large cylinders to the ground
below. One contained a large Sedan and the other several men dressed in
business suits, carrying briefcases. The UFO moved off into the evening sky.
The men got into the Sedan and drove off the field, onto a nearby road, and
away.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

They are physical like us and seem to be earth-based in their activities.. If
this is the case, where is their hiding place on this planet? Could some covert
intelligence groups have discovered who these people are and trying to deal
with the issue in their own way? Disclosure of such a fantastic scenario would
probably not be regarded as an option by the people who have a need to know. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Very few of the scientific mainstream ufologists try
to uncover the truth in these controversial areas. In his article R. Perry
Collins comments on this situation: ”The facts that such reports are very
seldom submitted and are scarce in the literature indicates that such direct
activities are usually carried out in a completely covert manner. These reports

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In August 1974 Lydia Stalnaker was driving north from Jacksonville, Florida
when she saw a bright light coming out of the sky. She stopped the car at a
parking area and got out to have a better look. Suddenly another car pulled
into the area and a man that Stalnaker thought she vaguely knew joined her by
the side of the road. They stared at the light hovering over some trees,
assuming it was a helicopter and noticed it descending as if crashing behind
the trees. They decided to drive toward the region to see if they could be of
help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">”I asked the man if he had seen what I had seen… He said, ´Yes, and its
right on time´. The man was short, less than five feet five inches, and had a
dark, Italian or Jewish look… He coaxed me into his car, and we drove off to
find the spot.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">When they got closer to the area of the assumed crash Stalnaker felt un
uncomfortable sensation of being suffocated. ”Then it seemed like just a moment
passed and we were heading back towards Jacksonville on another road. It was
midnight and Stalnaker´s forehead was hurting and she felt nauseated. After this
incident she was having frightening dreams of being on an operating table
surrounded by people wearing masks, sticking painful needles in her sides.
Eventually she sought professional help and was hypnotised. During hypnosis she
recounted a classic abduction scenario. After the missing time incident
Stalnaker developed telepathic and healing powers and received messages from
the spaceman Antron.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">What makes this case especially interesting is the physical meeting with
the strange man in the parking area. Stalnaker tried to find him again but
found out he had disappeared from the town. He had quit his job and no one new
where he was. ”His employer said that the man had appeared in town one morning
looking for work, but they did not know where he had come from.” I have not
read of any ufologist who have followed up on these important clues. But this
is the kind of data ufologists should look for.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In his series of articles <i><a href="https://tormance.wordpress.com/val-germann/">Science, Counterintelligence and UFOs</a></i> Val Germann recommends that the ufologist study
the techniques and history of Intelligence work including counterintelligence
and apply this knowledge when dealing with the more complicated and
controversial UFO cases. From the flood of material and documents the
researcher must sift out what is a) interesting, b) significant, c) correct
information. The social and psychological problem of this endeavor is that the
ufologist may find himself in pretty deep water, discovering aspects of reality
that are exceedingly controversial and almost impossible to communicate to the
general public.</span></p>

everything relevant, and then be fearless in where that material leads him.
This may sound like ”no big deal”, but for those who take the work seriously it
is anything but trivial. In many cases the information relevant to the UFO can
lead down rabbit holes where no respectable person would want to go. But down
the hole the investigator he must go or he will not have the perspective needed
to judge the relevance of information.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> ”Suppose a strange metallic disk covered with flashing colored
lights settled in your backyard and a tall man in a one-piece silver space suit
got out. Suppose he looked unlike any man you had ever seen before, and when
you asked him where he was from, he replied, "I am from Venus. "
Would you argue with him?” <br />

Thorvald (Bevan) Berthelsen, together with three witnesses from his workplace
in Köping, Sweden, observed a cylinder-shaped object silently passing over the
city. No explanation was found to this observation, which was reported in local
media. Thorvald Berthelsen and his wife lived in a country house with good
views in all directions. On the same day his UFO observation was mentioned in
the local newspaper a man knocks on their door. Thorvald is met by a man in his
thirties, dressed in a brown suit and white shirt. He has dark hair, appears
suntanned and his eyes are slanted but still not Asian looking. The man ask Thorvald
how he is feeling and continue asking about directions. He says thank you and
leave. "I thought, who the hell was that? I ran out and looked for him.
The road was straight in both directions. If he had come walking I would have
seen him. His eyes were slanted. That caught my attention. Afterwards I felt
this experience was weird". Thorvald
later became the chairman of UFO-Sweden (1976-1978).<br />

<span style="background: white;">Gösta: They were brown, like suntanned, thin,
dark eyes, long fingers. Only once did he notice something defective in their
bodies. It was a man with a scar on his head. There were no women among them
and they didn´t sleep or eat but drank, even liquor, and smoked. They could
disappear into thin air. He told me that once he had been sitting chatting with
two aliens on a bench in the Bahamas when some people approached them. He felt
so ashamed because he was suddenly talking into thin air.The aliens were simply
gone. But otherwise they seemed totally material.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There appears to be at
least two different ways this disappearance is achieved, as described by
witnesses and contactees – advanced technology and classic materialization. "Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", is a
classic quote from science fiction author Arthur C Clarke. But in individual
cases it can be quite difficult to determine what is to be regarded as the most
likely explanation.</span></div>

Glenn Steckling, director of the <i>George Adamski Foundation</i> told of meetings

technology to accomplish disappearance:<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">”They
carry a little device which is also on their ships as well. And this device
that they carry on their person, about the size of a cigarette lighter, is
bending light rays around the object. So in other words they activate the
device and the light rays bend around it and since you only see what is reflected
back into your eyes and into your brain because in reality the brain sees not
the eyes. Then the light rays continue around the object and so you can no
longer see it. Physically there is no such thing as dimensional shifting and
time warp or all this other science fiction nonsense. What it is, physically it
is still there. You can touch them, you can hear them. And they can walk right
past you. And so my father said I´d love to see that in action. And so a few
weeks later we´re walking along the streets of Washington D.C. and this
gentleman, the same guy´s coming towards us and in his arms he has his hans
full of laundry and as he gets close within a couple of meters all of sudden he
lifts his hand and wavs and disapperars. Gone he is. And you can hear him
walking right past us, the sound of his shoes. And we all three of us turn
around and look and a couple of meters behind us he suddenly reappears and turn
around and waves again and smiles and keeps walking.”<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">If some alien visitors
can make themselves disappear how to explain the disappearance of their cars? John
Keel encountered alien visitors, often the so-called Men in Black, several
times during his investigations in the 1960s. “On a number of occasions I
actually saw the phantom Cadillacs as advertised, complete with
sinister-looking passengers in black suits. On Long Island, following the
directions given me in an anonymous phone call, I pursued one of these cars
down a dead-end road where it seemingly vanished into thin air (there were no
side roads or turn-offs).” (John Keel, </span><i style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Eighth Tower</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">, p. 141)</span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A interesting case of a
disappearing car has been investigated by British ufologist Jenny Randles:<br />
It all began in late August 1971 in a town in East Midlands,
England. Jim Wilson had observed a white light moving slowly across
the sky. Just an ordinary mundane sighting of no special interest but ufologist
Derek James, a close colleague of Jenny Randles, made a standard follow up. He
was rather surprised to find that two men in smart business suits and driving a
black car har interviewed Jim Wilson. The men claimed to be from the <i>Ministry
of Defense</i> (MoD) and instructed the witness to forget the sighting as
it had been identified as the Russian satellite Cosmos 408.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Why would the MoD send
two men to interrogate a witness to such an ordinary sighting? Derek James
checked the satellite information centre at Farnborough. At the time of the
observation Cosmos 408 had been over Canada and had not passed over England at
all. Now the witness contacted Derek once more and was rather alarmed because
several nights in succession two unknown men in a black Jaguar car had parked
outside his house and he was sure they were watching him. Derek James had a
relative who was a high ranking police officer and a plan was hatched to check
the car as they were perhaps planning a robbery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to keep a look out and on October 19 and 20 the policemen watched the car
outside Jim Wilson´s house. The car waited for about thirty minutes and then
drove off. A check of the car registration found out that the vehicle did not
exist and now the police became really interested. On October 21 a police
patrol was ordered to bring in the occupants of the Jaguar for questioning.
Following standard procedure the two policemen walked towards the car, one on
either side. They noticed two smartly dressed men inside. They were just about
to knock on the window when the car simply disappeared into nothingness in
front of the astonished policemen. The area was examined but gave no clue to
the disappearance. Neither car nor occupants were ever seen again. For rather
obvious reasons a cover story was presented in the final police report.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">If disappearance is accomplished by technology how
about cases where visitors walk through doors or walls? There are indications
that the visitors encountered by Richard Höglund could also pass through walls,
as told to me and witnessed by my friends Sture and Turid Johansson. But that
takes more than just bending light rays. Passing through walls requires materialization.</span></div>

these interesting comments (my translation): "There are very few people

ourselves. I have on various occasions experienced how space people appear in

with alien visitors and that her home functioned as a sort of safe house for
both contactees and space people. One of her close friends told me how he
reacted the first time he became aware of this: ”I remember the first time
there was about 5 space people in Ms.Van Tassel's house talking with her as I
quietly watched, and then suddenly one of the men turned , looked directly at
me, smiled gently, and then very slowly turned to the kitchen room wall and
walked right through the wall! I watched this very closely as he then came back
in. Let me tell you , those kind of incidents have a very deep and troubling
affect on our minds because we cannot comprehend it.” I asked my
correspondent whether Dorris was aware of that these five men were space
people: ”O yes, she knew them well. It was perfectly normal for her.” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Readers familiar with the classic literary
masterpiece <i>Faust</i> by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe may remember the scene where
Faust one night walk to a crossroads and encounter a fire-breathing dragon. A
ball of fire descends towards Faust and the ball is transformed into a monk. We
find similar stories in folklore, religion, mythology and today in
the cases documented by ufologists and
investigators of paranormal phenomena. Astonished witnesses describing balls of light suddenly transforming into some type of entity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Time: 02:20 a.m.<br />
Georges Gaudet and his wife were sleeping soundly when a bright beam of green
light entered the bedroom through the open window, awakening the wife. The
green light seemed to transform itself into a 4 ft tall humanoid wearing a
silvery combination suit, and a helmet with a dark visor, the figure was
totally encased in a green glow. Gaudet’s wife stared at the figure and
attempted to wake her husband to no avail. The figure then vanished in a flash
of light. She suffered from headaches and insomnia for a week after the
incident.<br />

Date: Spring 1975 <br />
Time: evening<br />
A woman who lived in a house surrounded by a sturdy iron fence that made it
impossible to enter without knocking (or ringing) apart from which she had
several rather fierce dogs that had the run of the garden and the small orchard
(or kitchen garden) around it, preventing any stranger from coming in, reported
that one evening she was alerted by the vehement barking of the dogs, she
looked out the door of the garden and saw with astonishment that the dogs were
barking at a type of simian---and not a small one, at that---that was sitting
on top of a palm tree in the middle of the garden. The palm tree was rather
tall, so the dogs had no way of reaching the strange animal. The woman was
dumfounded, thinking first about how that animal could have managed to climb up
there, despite the fence and the dogs, but above all about the threatening
appearance it had. For a while, from the top of the palm tree, it was staring
at her with eyes that seemed to shoot out fire. After a few moments, the animal
began to shrink little by little, taking a spherical shape, while at the same
time slowly becoming incandescent. The moment came when it had completely
turned into a luminous ball the size of a basketball. While the woman, with her
heart in her throat, was looking at the ball, it began to slowly rise up until
it became lost in the sky. Naturally, the woman, who was already a little
impressionable as it was, received a tremendous shock in the face of such a
sight, which apparently made her collapse.<br />

Time: 04:13 a.m.<br />
On a warm summer night, the witness was sleeping in his house by the sea when
he felt someone touch his leg. He turned around and saw a small figure about 3
ft in height, with a big head and round large eyes. He could not see it well
because it was surrounded by a bright light. He tucked his legs under the
covers and shut his eyes thinking that he was dreaming but when he opened his
eyes the figure was still there. The figure stared at the witness with a
penetrating gaze that seemed to read his mind and attract him toward the
figure. The creature moved in slow jerky movements. He closed his eyes again
and when he opened them again the figure was leaning over his 3-year old
brother who slept in a cot. At this point the witness screamed and the creature
turned around, looked at him and then transformed itself into a luminous sphere
not bigger than a tennis ball and it then flew out the window at high speed.
After a while he called his parents.<br />

Ardy Sixkiller Clarke has collected and documented five thousand plus stories

has written four very fascinating books presenting her findings. Several
stories of balls of light transforming into entities are recorded in her books,
especially in <i><a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2015/02/alien-encounters-in-mesoamerica.html">Sky People. Untold Stories of Alien Encounters in Mesoamerica</a></i>

transformation:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">”… I sat there watching as those seven balls of
light kept getting closer and closer. Then, all of a sudden, one light veered
off from the rest and came toward the hose. It stopped short of the house maybe
30 feet away. It just hovered there a few feet from the ground.. . At this point,
I was only focusing on the one that was so close to me and wondered if I could
make it to my pickup… As I edged toward the pickup, the ball of light
transformed again and a human form materialized in fron of me. He was dressed
in a light suit. He told me not to be afraid. I felt faint; I am not sure if it
was from fear or the odor I smelled… Like rotten eggs. It was overpowering… <br />
After you talked about horses, what happened?<br />
It was like he dropped to the ground and turned into a ball of light again and
flew off to join the others. Later I saw them above the hill, The morphed into
a huge craft and were gone.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">After a lifetime of travel, field investigation and
study of UFO, Fortean and paranormal phenomena John Keel reached the conclusion
shared today by many researchers into these areas: we live in a multiverse inhabited
by a variety of diverse intelligences. He usually referred to these
intelligences as ultraterrestrials or elementals and their emergence into our
reality as transmogrifications, another word for materializations. He was
mostly pessimistic and often referred to the phenomena as demonic and
destructive to mankind. A somewhat more hopeful tone was given in his last book
<i>The Eighth Tower</i> (1975): "Today many scientific disciplines are moving in
the same direction, not realizing they are mapping a very old country. In a few
years, perhaps even in our own lifetime, all sciences will suddenly converge at
a single point, and the mysteries of the superspectrum will unravel in our
hands." (p. 216).</span></div>

telescope legs, all three evenly spaced under the circular disc. In front of
the fin on the crafts belly, there is a hatch open, with a ladder and leaders,
like those ladders you see on boats. The hatch is about one and a half meter
above the ground and I can see how light is coming out from the opening. I try
to look inside the craft but the angle is to narrow. All I can see is the bright
light.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On the top of the craft there is a streamlined cabin
that I estimate to be around 8 meters in diameter. With roughly 1 meter spacing
there is oval windows, maybe 50 cm wide and 30 cm high. While I am watching the
craft I can´t keep from thinking that someone is pulling a prank on me. One
thought that goes through my head is that this may be German pilots that has
escaped from some camp. But deep inside, I know I´m wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The "body" and the cabin seems to be one
piece. You can´t spot screws, studs or joints anywhere. Around the belly’s rim
on the craft there is a couple of holes, not unlike those found on turbines,
pointing down and are covered with what look like a damper. A few meters in
front and outside the light´s circle, a man with a white dress is standing. He
is dressed like our astronauts of today. No matter how hard I look, I can’t see
any buttons, zippers or other "clothing attachments". On his feet he
has blue or black boots that wrap around his legs, around his waist he has a
large blue or black belt, on his head something that looks like a rain hoodie
or "windcheater hoodie" with the difference that it also covers the
front of his face and are made of some transparent material. On his hand he got
finger gloves. On his chest hangs something that looks like a folding camera,
but other than that, there is no equipment. The man appears to be a guard.
Where I am standing now I´m about 10 meters from the craft, and about 7-8 meter
from this man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">On top of the craft by one of the windows there was
an additional three men, evidently occupied by some kind of work. Right next to
them, but below, I see two more men who are assisting and inside the light
circle, turned towards me, there are three women. All dressed the same way, in
the same white dress, boots and belt. All the beings that are inside the light
have the transparent face mask removed to the back of their heads. Suddenly
something happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The man who was standing outside the light - which
whom I now understand was serving as a guard - did a perfect stop sign with his
hand raised. It is a sign that cannot be misinterpreted and I stopped. I still
have my lamp on my head, but turned off. The guard points his "folding
camera" looking thing towards me, and I get the impression that he is
about to take a picture of me. I think I hear a crack from my lamp on my head,
that I have turned off, but don´t bother with that… Suddenly, a woman with dark
curly hair steps down the ladder of the craft. In her hand she holds what looks
like a bag and hands out cups to the men and girls. Everyone stop working and
start to drink from the cups. By the time I am standing there and watching, I
can see the crew go in and out the craft, up the ladder next to the fin. When
they do that, I observe how the two telescope legs moves up and down. They are
spring loaded like the front wheel of an airplane. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Just as I am about to take a step forward again, the
girl with the dark curly hair steps outside the cabin again. In her hand she
hold a bright shiny object which draws the attention from all the other in the
crew. She takes a few steps towards the outskirt of the light dome and throws
the object out with a quick motion. It falls right next to a little slope. At
the same time I hear a happy woman’s laughter, and I realize this is the first
time I hear a noise from them this whole time. But I have heard the crackling
of twigs by the guards feet on the grass which is spread all over the ground.
The whole thing starts to be very surreal to me, and although I am one of those
person who has never tasted alcohol in any form, and can therefore not blame
this on some kind of hallucination or some other kind of imagination, I decide
to hike back to the Skäldervik beach and then come back to see if it is still
here.</span></div>

shoes and socks and wade out in the water to wet my feet just to make sure I´m
not dreaming. It is freezing so I am awake alright. Then, suddenly, I see a red
light. At first I thought it was the moon rising, but after closer inspection,
I realize that isn´t the case. Slowly, and majestically, the craft, which I now
see clearly, is rising. It´s almost like a balloon rising.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

told by <a href="http://galactic.no/rune/gj_ufo2.htm">Gösta Carlsson</a> (1918-2003). The incident occurred outside the city
Ängelholm, in the south of Sweden. It has become one of the most famous and
controversial Swedish landing and contact cases. During the weekend May 18-19,
1996 UFO-Sweden arranged the annual conference and expo at Ängelholm. A
memorable event for many UFO-Sweden members, who would get an opportunity to listen
to Gösta Carlsson relating his story at the site where the landing occurred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As Gösta Carlsson had become something of a
celebrity in Ängelholm the media interest for the conference was all time high.
When the expo opened at 10 a.m. on Saturday the 18th hundreds of visitors
entered Ängelholms gymnasieskola (senior high school). UFO-Sweden representatives
had a busy time guiding and informing about the various activities and UFO
investigation in Sweden. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of special interest was the exhibition show-case displaying
the ring and rod that Gösta Carlsson had found at the place where the craft
landed. The show-case was made of armored glass and guarded by a man from
Securitas, which of course raised a few eyebrows. This was the first and only
time the ring and rod were publicly displayed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

at the glade outside Ängelholm, where Gösta Carlsson told the listeners about
his contact experience 1946. He also showed the UFO monument made of concrete
and placed in the center where the landing took place. The <a href="https://www.guidebook-sweden.com/en/guidebook/destination/ufo-monumentet-ufo-monument-in-aengelholm">monument</a> is a
scaled-down replica of the craft observed by Gösta Carlsson and is now an
offical part of the Ängelholm cultural heritage. After the guided tour members
gathered at the pub <i>Källaren</i>. Thomas Niby, chairman of the local UFO-Sweden
group worked hard as bartender and offered a special UFO drink, enjoyed during
the as usual lively discussions and mingling.</span></div>

Glade), written together with Gösta Carlsson. Special guest speaker was Dr.
Anton Geels, professor of Psychology of Religion at the University of Lund. He
presented a psychological perspective of encounters with unknown entities. The
program ended with a lively panel discussion. This was one of the most successful
conferences arranged by UFO-Sweden with close to one thousand visitors during

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">What is today the assessment of the Gösta Carlsson
story? Clas Svahn, who spent many years investigating the case, is rather critical,
having found several inconsistences in the tale. At the death of Gösta, Clas
had been promised to receive the ring and rod, to be able to make a chemical
analysis of the material. Gösta broke the promise and this piece of important
evidence is now probably gone forever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In the Summer of 1993
Clas Svahn and I visited and interviewed Gösta Carlsson at his home in
Ängelholm. For me this was a very special experience. Usually, during relaxed
interviews like this, you get an emotional and mental connection with the UFO
witness. But talking to Gösta Carlsson was like speaking to someone inside a impenetrable
psychic sphere or bubble. We will probable never get the definite answer to
what happened to Gösta Carlsson in 1946 unless the ring and rod somehow reappear. Whatever
the truth, his story is certainly fascinating and part of Swedish UFO history.</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-55997583820025076302020-06-22T17:42:00.000+02:002020-06-22T18:10:04.468+02:00UFOs That Vanish and Dissolve<div class="MsoNormal">

reviewing the 13,000+ letters in the very extensive Wendelle Stevens archive,
now housed at AFU. More than fifty percent of the correspondence file consists
of book orders, but now and then I find letters and documents of special interest.
One such document is a letter to Wendelle Stevens, written on June 13, 1987, by
an anonymous engineer involved in secret retrieval projects of crashed ”air
craft” . The seven-page letter give detailed data on several retrieval
operations in the U.S. of ”craft” crashing on land and water and then simply
disappearing, exactly like the Swedish Ghost Rockets of 1946 and later. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">The American engineer was involved in retrieval
operations from 1975 to 1980, code-namned Project Pluto. The first assignement
in 1975 took him to a remote place in upstate Pennsylvania. ”We were some of
the first one´s on the scene other than lots of security people. The wreck had
already been covered by very large canvas blankets… I did manage to get a very
good look at the wreck on several occasions… It was later suggested to us that it
was a new type of air craft, and it was super hush-hush project. The air craft
was nothing like I have ever seen as probably ever will again… I don´t really
like to use the term cigar, but since I could not see the front part, it
certainly appeared to have once been shaped like a large cigar… The piece of
physical evidence that I held in my hand, was a material that I really can´t
identify… It weighed no where near enough to be any metal we had ever seen. It
even weighed less than any plastic that I had seen of a similar size.</span></div>

cut away a small piece of the edge, but the knife did nothing to it. The
surface was clear as glass, and stronger than any thing we hade ever seen…
After the site was secure, the first groups that included myself were taken
away. There was a very thorough strip search prior to us being given jumpsuits,
and put into a truck for the transportation to a waiting plane. We were taken
to another area and debriefed before we were allowed to return to our normal
way of life…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">In 1978, I was again sent to a crash site. We
arrived the day after the security people. This time the air craft landed in a
lake in upstate Pennsylvania… Lots of Navy equipment was flown in, and there
were divers everywhere… It seems that the divers had located the exact spot
that the air craft had rested on the bottom, but it was gone. There was lots of
evidence on the beach that something very large had crashed into the lake
causing the water of the lake to splash ashore, over thirty feet… There were
some thoughts at first that the craft may have been buried under the
bottom of the lake, but by this time, we knew enough about the craft to know if
that were the case. It was not – it just vanished.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In this document the American engineer mention several
retrieval operations where the crafts have crashed or landed in water and simply
disappeared. His conclusion: ”I don´t really believe that the air craft belongs
to our Government or any other government on this earth… In addition, I have no
way of knowing if I had been on every crash site that occurred. There may have
been many more during that period and many more since. I really don´t know if
any one had ever been removed from the two wrecks, that I had personally seen…
Perhaps the medical people were only there – just in case. And/or to test the
wreck for any form of unknown bacteria prior to removing it. Their being
present is not really evidence that a life form was found. It could go either
way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

documented <a href="https://www.ufoinsight.com/mystery-ghost-rockets-scandinavia/">Ghost Rocket</a> reports in Sweden. Always with the same scenario,
apparently physical objects crashing into lakes and the military finding
nothing in spite of intense search. Swedish ufologist Clas Svahn have
investigated the Ghost Rocket phenomenon for many years and regard these
reports as one of the most intriguing type of UFO observations in our country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">These types of incidents continue in Sweden. Late
afternoon on July 27, 1999 several witnesses observed a missile or rocket
shaped object</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">crash into lake Backsjön,
north of the town Arvika in the province of Värmland, Sweden. The object was
about three meters in length with small wings at the sides. It hit the lake
with a splash resulting in a large water cascade. One of the witnesses called
the local rescue service and eventually a unit from the Swedish military began
an intensive search for the missile. During the first days of investigation the
military gave various cover stories to the press of what had happened. They
interviewed seven witnesses who were all regarded as very credible. After some
preliminary dives in August a ten days search was initiated in September with a
small submarine equipped with ultrasound and cameras. In spite of a very
detailed search in the lake, nothing was found and this was very confusing to
the military. ”We considered this report as credible. The search resulted in
nothing and we really don´t know what we are looking for”, commented colonel
Yngve Johansson.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Although most of the reports of vanishing crafts
involve water there are a few cases where a crash or landing have been on the
ground. In the beginning of the 1950s American contactee George Van Tassel was
sometimes visited by military men from the Air Force who had a personal
interest in or had become involved in UFO incidents themselves. He related
several such incidents and talks in his magazine <i>Proceedings</i>. In 1953 an Air
Force Major, stationed at George Air Force Base, at Adelanto, California, spent
many weekends with the Van Tassel family at Giant Rock Airport. The major was
officially in charge of UFO investigations in Southern California. An
interesting case he had been involved in told of jet pilot who radioed George
Air Force Base tower that a round unidentified object had crashed into the
ground near San Jacinto Mountain. The Tower phoned the Major and hurriedly he
and other Air Force personal climbed into a helicopter and headed for Mt. San
Jacinto. They spotted the jet circling the area and landed the helicopter in a
clearing about 200 feet from the unknown object.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">”The Major said they walked slowly toward it and
when they were about 25 feet from it they stopped in awe because the couldn´t
figure out what was happening. The Major said the object was apparently remote
controlled, and was in the process of some automatically activated ”self
destruct” proceedure. He said the object had a pulsing bright light in the
middle of an ovoid mass, of what looked like black tar about two feet thick and
about 12 feet in diameter. The entire black mass was quivering like jelly, shaking
and getting smaller by the minute.” (Proceedings, vol. 10, no. 6, Oct-Dec 1974,
pp. 11-12). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In a short time the black blob dimished until there
was nothing left and the pulsing light just vanished. The group took samples of
the ground where the object had been and also samples of the earth a hundred
feet away. George Van Tassel never heard what the results were as the Major
then stopped visiting Giant Rock when security and secrecy regarding UFOs
increased in 1954. Perhaps the 1958 American science fiction-horror film The
Blob was inspired by rumours of these type of cases? The story by a strange
co-incidence also transpires in rural Pennsylvania. Several writers claim that The
Blob was inspired by a story published in <a href="http://anomalyinfo.com/Stories/1950-september-26-purple-mass">Philadelphia Inquirer</a>, September 27,
1950: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">It was around 10 pm on September 26, 1950, in the
city of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, USA... Patrolmen John Collins and Joseph
Keenan were driving on Vare Boulevard near 26th Street when they saw something
resembling a parachute at tree-top level drifting down into a field near 26th.
They estimated the 'parachute' looked to be about six feet across. The officers
called in backup -- Sgt. Joseph Cook and his driver, Patrolman James Casper --
and once they arrived, all four men went to investigate the parachute. It
wasn't a parachute. The odd object was draped across the weeds, and so light
that it wasn't bending the plants. The officers' flashlights made the strange
mass give off a sort of misty, purplish glow that made it look as if the object
contained crystals. Collins tried to pick the thing up but the part of the
object he touched just dissolved, leaving a slightly sticky and odorless
residue on his hand. As the four officers watched over the next twenty-five
minutes or so, the whole object just slowly evaporated away.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is a very fascinating description of this
process in George Adamski´s <i>Inside the Space Ships</i>. During one of his contacts
Adamski was told by one of the space people:<br />
”Whenever possible these complex and highly sensitive little machines are
returned to their parent craft, but sometimes, for one reason or another, the
connection is broken and they go out of control or crash to the ground. In such
cases emergency procedure is immediately brought into action. On each side of
the mother ship, just below the disk-launching ports, is a magnetic ray
projector. When a disk goes out of control, a ray is projected to disintegrate
it. This accounts for some of the mysterious explosions that take place in your
skies which cannot be accounted for by artillery, jet planes or electrical
storms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On the other hand, if a disk goes out of control
near the surface of the planet where an explosion might cause damage, it is
allowed to descend to the ground where a milder charge is sent into it. Instead
of an explosion, this causes the metal to disintegrate in slow stages. First it
softens, then turns into a kind of jelly, then a liquid, and finally it enters
a free state as gases, leaving not a wrack behind. This latter process is
without danger to anyone or anything should the disk be touched while in
process of disintegration. The only harm could come if, by chance, someone
should see it fall and touch it at the moment the ray is applied.” (George
Adamski, Inside the Space Ships, 1955 ed. p. 155).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">December 13, 2010 began as a nice and leisurely
winter day at AFU. We were celebrating our annual festivity on Saint Lucy´s
Day, enjoying coffee, mulled wine and gingerbread. It was pretty cold outside and
lots of snow so it was good to be in one of our varm and confortable archive
premises. The festivity was suddenly interrupted by a phone call. A truckdriver
from Schenker announced he had just arrived and wanted us to come out and unload
eleven pallets. Not overly enthusiastic the AFU staff put on their winter
clothes and walked up to the lorry and were met with a sight the like we have
never encountered before. In the snow stood eleven pallets with 235 large and
heavy boxes. The entire library from the Hilary and Mary Evans estate i London,
donated to AFU. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

were ten AFU people who helped carrying these boxes. But it was a tough job in
the snow and icy stairs down to one of our basement premises. When all the
boxes were safely stored we now had a double reason for keeping on celebrating.
The 235 boxes contained the largest donation of material ever received in AFU
history. More than 9.000 books and thousands of rare and unique magazines from
all over the world. Many of the books and magazines in excellent mint
condition, often clothbound. We were honoured och proud that AFU was chosen as
the custodian of this immensely valuable collection covering subjects like UFO,
forteana, folklore, parapsychology, paranormal phenomena, ancient mysteries,
mysticism, esoterica and a host of other subjects. In AFU history December 13,
2010 will forever be remembered as the day we were visited by Santa Claus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">At AFU a decision was made to house this collection
in a special facility, which we named The Evans Library, in honour of Hilary
and Mary Evans. As librarian I still find it a feast both for the eyes and mind
to peruse the shelves in the Evans library. Thousands of rare and unusual books
I have never seen or even heard of before, many early tomes from the 18th and
19th century. A treasure trove for scholars of various disciplines and anyone
researching the unsolved mysteries of our world. I notice for instance a
complete set of <i>Proceedings for the Society of Psychical Research</i> from 1882 in
clothbound volumes and the beautifully illustrated magazine <i>The Medium</i>
1872-1882.</span></div>

his research and theories. He didn´t want to be labelled ufologist as his
foremost interest was paranormal phenomena. Hilary Evans was an advocate of the
skeptical psycho-social theory regarding UFOs, but he represented skepticism at
its best: erudite, open minded, humble. He was no debunker but stressed several
times during our talk the importance of looking at new data and possibilities.
When asked for an advice to Swedish ufologists and field investigators he said,
never become a rigid dogmatist, be open minded - totally open minded. It was Hilary
Evans that inspired the AFU board to change our acronym AFU from <i>Archives for
UFO Research</i> to <i>Archives for the Unexplained.</i> A very suitable name as our
collections had during many years come to include all types of borderland and
paranormal phenomena, not only UFOs.</span></div>

I have said it so many times before but I will repeat it once again: Without libraries and archives we have no history, only anecdotes, myths and hazy memories. Without archives and libraries serious and scientific research becomes very difficult and in some areas almost impossible. If we don´t learn from history we will continue making the same mistakes or once again trying to reinvent the wheel. AFU is our legacy to the future.</div>

by Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, published in 1975. In chapter nine,
Brainstorming, they discuss various UFO scenarios and hypotheses. Here (p. 252)
Vallee mention one of the really intriguing riddles regarding close encounters
and different types of entities: ”<span style="background: white;">Vallee:
"How can they breath our air? How come there are men, ordinary men with

image of a alien visitor is a small, spindly creature with large black eyes,
often referred to as the Greys. But are these entities the real visitors? Have
both the public and many ufologists been mislead in assuming the Greys to be actual
and intelligent visitors? Today there appears to be a re-evaluation of the
human-looking aliens as the real visitors. A theory or idea shared by both
critical UFO investigators and contactees. ”<i>The Strange ”Greys” of Ufology: Are
They Manufactured?</i>” is the title of Nick Redfern´s recent article in <i><a href="https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/05/the-strange-greys-of-ufology-are-they-manufactured/">Mysterious Universe</a></i>, May 22, 2020. If Redfern checked some of the old contactee stories he

a very fascinating close encounter and contact case in Sweden which probably
involved a robot. The percipient Jorge Z. was born in Honduras, 47 years old
with a wife and four kids. On January 20, 2008 Jorge Z. is travelling in his
car a few miles east of Norrtälje, north of Stockholm. Suddenly a bright light
appears over the road and the wooded area. The light is a combination of
yellow, white and blue and is moving quickly. Jorge assumes it could be a
chopper. Suddenly there is a voice in his head ordering him to keep on driving.
The voice is very clear: "move to the left", "continue".
After a couple of miles Jorge enter a place called Norrtäljeviken and he parks
the car. Standing beside the car he can hear a sound like a generator. Looking
up he observeras a saucer shaped, silver coloured object with a light in the
middle. Jorge becomes very frightened and says to himself: "A flying
saucer. that´s not possible. God help me". <o:p></o:p></span></div>

bottom om the object, shining down on the ground. In this beam an entity is
floating down and start approaching the car. The entity makes a halt about 8-10
meters from Jorge and the beam is retracted into the object. Jorge tries to run
but he is paralysed. The entity approaches and Jorge notice its large dark,
oblique eyes. It is not more than 140-150 centimeter with a large head and
long, skinny arms with four fingers. No nose, only two small holes and no ears.

there is now Ziros and Andrak. They want to help earth humanity and claim there

where bio-androids are mentioned is the abduction experience of Amauri Rivera
of Puerto Rico. He was abducted from his car by dwarfish entities in May 1988.
When he regained consciousness Amauri found himself in an unknown room together
with 15 people, all Hispano-Americans. Magdalena Del Amo-Freixedo documented
what happened next in an article published in <i>Flying Saucer Review</i>,
vol. 39, no. 1, Spring 1994: "Facing them was a tall, dark man of human appearance.
His hair was long, down to the shoulders, and his complexion dusky. He would,
says the witness, have passed anywhere unnoticed. This man said that he was
human, just like them, who had come here from another planet in our galaxy. On
either side of him there was a dwarf, similar to those we have already
described. Almost all of those present in the chamber gazed with horror at the
two creatures... He (the man) seized hold of its (dwarf) face with one hand and
turned it to right and left, at the same time saying that they should have no
fear of these entities, as they were biological robots created by them for
certain kinds of work, and that they were quite inoffensive." (p. 10)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Glenn Steckling: In 1961 this field became divergent
or went in separate directions. In 1961 after we had a flood of landings on
this planet and the forces that control this world became very anxious. This
was a psychological manipulation by the forces that use the politics of this
world to keep people in a fearful state. The purpose of this type of rumor
mongering is to keep the people fearful. All these craft carry a robot. The
newer ships have no robots but androids. The androids only have four fingers
and they can only do what they are programmed to do. Some of these sightings
could be robots or androids. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
”The non-human looking, referred to as ”greys”, etc., are actually androids,
purposely made to look different so as to eliminate the concern and confusion caused
by human looking creations in the past. The nostrils, ears, or mouth, shaped as in a human, are not
necessary, as they would be in humans such as us. These androids perform the ”dirty work” and the labor involved in operating the spacecraft on their various
missions throughout the solar systems.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Carol Honey mention confusion caused by human looking
androids, and of course this is certainly a subject full of confusing
encounters. If benevolent and culturally advanced visitors use robots and
adroids so could evil or dangerous visitors and our own Messengers of
Deception, black project operatives from various highly secret intelligence
groups. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Danish Adamski co-worker Hans C Petersen
claimed to have discussed the robot issue several times with Adamski. In an article,
<i>The Sinister Forces From Space</i>, he presents a somewhat more complicated view of
the problem: "... the americans have constructed their own flying saucers,
and that they fly just as if they were real space vehicles. Also, that they use
the same propulsion system as do the visitors, and that these man-made vehicles
are manned with robots - small grey men - all alike and produced alike in American
research centers, as copies of the creatures found in the "crashed"
saucers from outer space." <br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Maybe some of the enigmatic <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-enigmatic-men-in-black.html">Men In Black</a> reported
are actually androids used by some not very nice group of visitors? John Keel,
who investigated this aspect of the UFO enigma and had several encounters of
his own presented different theories, during his lifetime, about the MIB. In
1967 he regarded them as definitely a menace, as revealed in a <a href="http://www.johnkeel.com/?p=3195">letter, July 18, 1967</a>, to Jim and Coral Lorenzen of APRO: ”The MIB represent a very large
terrestrial group who are allied with a very hostile UFO group. They are not
connected with any goverment in any way… The people I am concerned with are
Androids… manifactured entities controlled by a distant and unknown master…
they are quite stupid in many respects.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is also a reference to androids in psychic
<a href="http://ufoexperiences.blogspot.com/2006/08/ingo-swann.html">Ingo Swann´s</a> autobiography <i>Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human
Telepathy</i>, published in 1998. After a very strange experience in a Hollywood
supermarket where Ingo and a friend observed and received unusual psychic
"vibrations" from a woman with black hair and eyes covered by purple
sunglasses, Ingo and his friend decided to mention this encounter during a
dinner with psychiatrist Dr. Shafica Karagulla and her friend Viola Petitt
Neal.. During a dinner they discuss ET civilizations infiltrating Earth:</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />

faint hearted or naive believer. Paranoia can easily become your next door
neighbor. How about stamp collecting instead? Still, the original Vallee
question is certainly valid: "How come there are men, ordinary men with
them?"</span></div>

evidence indicating that the people you have encountered are real alien
visitors? This was the dilemma facing Danish painter, photographer and UFO
researcher <a href="http://www.olree.dk/index.asp?loadContent=232951">Rene Erik Olsen</a> in the 1990s. In <i>The Alien Visitors</i>, published in
2019 he gave the outline of some remarkable information he had received from
two mysterious visitors. Now after 28 years Rene has finally decided to reveal
the background story of what really happened in <i>The Alien Visitors - volume II</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

photos and films of <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/05/george-adamski-new-evidence.html">George Adamski</a> are in my view groundbreaking, opening up
new research avenues. After a few years of UFO research 1986-1988 he decided to
concentrate his investigations on the Eduard Meier case in Switzerland. The
first part of the new book is a summary of two research trips to Switzerland
1988-1989 where Rene interviewed Meier himself and most of the people in his
group.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">As a professional photographer Rene concentrated
much of his research efforts on the Meier photographs which were soon found to
be rather crude fakes. In secret Rene visited the sites where Meier had taken
his photos. By using two small 4 inches balsa-wood models suspended on nylon wires he discovered how
easy it was to create fake pictures with these models. The original Meier
photos compared with Rene´s pictures are reproduced in the book.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Although Rene concludes that the Meier photos and
films are fraudulent he is open to the possibility that there could be
something more to this case. I am now in the rather unique position of being
able to follow the inside story of Wendelle Stevens involvement in the Meier
case as I am presently organising and reviewing the very extensive (13,000+
letters) in the Wendelle Stevens archive. Here I also find my own letters to
both Wendelle and Lucius Farish in the 1980s.</span></div>

Personally I believe it to be a hoax. My friend Jan-Ove Sundberg visited Meier
some months ago. Although he had made an appointment before leaving Sweden, he
was not allowed an interview with Meier. He bought several photos from the
Semjase Silver Star Center though, but to me they look like fakes.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I find it unfortunate that Wendelle Stevens
invested so much time and money in promoting the Meier case as genuine. He
should have concentrated on investigating the classic contactees of the 1950s
while there still were first hand sources aviable. Much of the information
coming from contactees after 1960 was obviously ”contaminated”, a fact that
Wendelle was very much aware of.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">”I am convinced that some of the earlier cases were
actually the best sources of real information, because they are less
contaminated by a history of such phenomena. I knew Kelvin Rowe, Truman
Bethurum, George Adamski, George Hunt Williamson.. and many others personally,
and I was often out of step of the crowd because I knew what the experiencers
knew, while many others were being swayed by the UFO club positions abetted by
the disinformation services of the U.S. Government.”<br />

presenting Rene with photos, films and a story indicating they were real
interplanetary visitors. About one week after the first phone call a man called
with the same message. Rene got the phone number to both of these individuals

story of how she had ben able to acquire information from acquaintances about
UFO phenomena: ”The story (in summary) went like this – The aliens visiting
Earth are human in appearance – looking like ordinary Earth people. Some of
them work here for shorter or longer periods of time and ”interact” mainly with
terrestrial science. While visiting they can also hold other jobs.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and pulled out 15 metallic plates with photos embedded in the metal. The photos
showed some of the aliens´visits to other planets and their craft in flight and
landing.”They were some of the most clear photos, I had ever seen. The photographs
were definitely taken by someone who knows about photogaphy.”. Rene is
presented with information on how the aliens use a combination of

they meet at a Copenhagen restaurant in February 1991. The man, called Peter, claimed to have an engineering background and was 28 years old. He looked like
an ordinary Scandinavian man. During the conversation Rene is again shown
photos on metallic plates and given further data on the aliens and their technology.

and they decide to meet at his home. To Rene´s great surprise Eva and Peter now
come together. A meal has only been prepared for two but Peter is satisfied
with some fruit instead. During this meeting the woman pull out a small, flat
television screen, much like an Ipad. Rene is now presented with films showing various
types of space craft, including the Adamski type saucer, and sequences
obviously from other planets. At this stage of the proceedings Rene was rather
frustrated with the whole situation: ”I asked them both what was going on? The man
said, ”What do you mean?” I said, ”Is this a joke?” He said, ”No, this is the
real deal.” I said, ”Where does this come from?” – ”From us”, she said. I
looked at them both. They looked very serious, then smiled and looked at me
with the intent to get me to continue watching the film.” After some more
viewing Rene thought he had to ask: ”Who are you really and how come you are in
possession of this material? The woman said, ”My acquaintances – remember I
told you.” I said, ”Come on.” They both looke at each other and then looked at
me and smiled. Nothing was said.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">The forth and final meeting occurred in February
1992 when the woman, Eva, once again come to Rene´s apartment. He is confronted
with more films and data of their advanced technology making it possible for
the aliens to travel many times faster than light. ”She told me that two large
crafts had travelled to another star system many lights years away in the time
it had taken me to watch that movie (I calculated 5-7 minuter). The information
was beyond belief.” During this last meeting Rene once again ask how she knew
all these things. ”She looked directly at me and said two words: ”Direct
knowledge”. I now had the answer which I had assumed all along, from the very
first utterance of the cover story of ”her acquaintances”.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rene didn´t know what to do with all this
information and waited 28 years before he decided to publish his experiences. Although
the information given by the visitors mostly dealt with technology and space
travel they did give a few details of their worldview. Rene asked where they
came from and the only answer was ”not from the Solar System”. They did not
share a belief in some form of God. ”They said that – God does not exist. There
is no God. Personification of a God or belief in a God is a terrestrial
religious phenomenon created to have a common moral effect on a population.” Whether
they had knowledge of the existence of a multiverse, life after death or evolution
of consciousness is not mentioned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The philosophy of these individuals appear strangely
technological and materialistic, a rather soulless Aniara version of existence,
where only more advanced technology is the hope for mankind. This is very far from the
Ancient Wisdom, the essentials of the Esoteric Tradition given to contactees
like George Adamski, Daniel Fry, Orfeo Angelucci, Daniel Fry a.o. This makes me
wonder where Eva and Peter really came from and their true mission. They
claimed to secretly help us in technological advancement which is very good of
course but did the actually come from another planet? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With these thoughts in mind I felt it necessary to
ask Rene a final question: <br />
”Have you ever considered the possibility that the visitors could have been
covert special operations agents with publicly not so far revealed technical
knowledge?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">”I considered EVERYTHING when I was contacted by
them both initially. If things sounds, looks or feels "too god to true" I have always been suspicious. Had
I not met with the woman and the man - and only received the information
through letters or otherwise, I would have been very skeptical. But they
presented photos (of a kind I had never and had never seen since) and
film-material shown on a device I had never seen. The quality of the films and
photos - in addition to their very technical explanations - made it all seem to
me to be something they had a VERY close relationship to. Also their demeanor -
when explaining things. They were VERY patient when they could see that I did
not understand what they explained. They took their time to make sure that I at
least got the full gist of what I was told. Even though I struggled at times, I
must admit. They explained things in a different way, if I said that I could
not understand. Their mood and seriousness is difficult to explain. They
appeared very serious about the subject matter (being it technical stuff or
many of my other questions). I do NOT believe they were somebody else but what
I have concluded. Even though I know it IS a big conclusion.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

volume II</i> is a unique contribution to UFO literature and research which I
highly recommend. A UFO investigator revealing his own contact experiences. The
book has 119 pages with 56 fascinating pages of photos and beautiful paintings, a real feast for the eye. I
commend Rene for his courage to publish these encounters. But he is not alone
in this situation. John Keel and MUFON consultant <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2020/02/rosemary-decker-silent-contactee.html">Rosemary Decker</a> personally knew several researchers in the UFO community who had similar type of contacts,
but kept the knowledge in a very small circle. The $64 question is of course –
who are these visitors?</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-41862179319364143072020-05-11T18:55:00.000+02:002020-05-12T08:46:10.530+02:00Missing Time and Space Animals 1922<div class="MsoNormal">

day in the life of the soon to be eight years old schoolboy Östen Engström. He
lived with his parents in the small village Orsta, south-west of the Swedish
city Kolsva. After school he join his schoolmate Holger for a walk to Holger´s home where the boys play for while. Then Östen
start his journey home, about three Swedish kilometers. After having walked
alone in this wooded area for some time there is a peat-moss to his right and
the village school to the left. Östen is now close to home. But then something
happen that would forever remain an unsolved mystery in the life of this young
boy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Suddenly lots of animals come running out from the
woods: deer, hares, moose, foxes, badgers and other animals. They run towards
the peat-moss. At the same time the sky is darkened and a strange light appear
over the place. Östen can now feel an acrid smell all around him.</span></div>

hovering silently above me. They were so close I could have thrown a stone at
them. The objects were pulsating as if they were breathing and I saw two dark
lines on them. A bit further away, over the woods, another two objects were
flotaing. They were bigger and darker then the ones above me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Then Östen remember nothing more. When he wake up he
in lying on the road freezing. It is now dark. No animals are in sight but in
the direction of Västlanda lake he can see a pulsing light becoming smaller and
smaller. Östen is feeling very tired and start walking the short distance to
his home. The time is now 7.30 P.M. indicating a loss of four hours. He try to
explain what has happened to his parents but they don´t</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">believe him. When Östen didn´t come home they
had sent his older brother Gustav to look for him. He had travelled by bicycle
to the school only to find out that Östen had joined Holger at home. There he
is informed that Östen left at around 3.30 P.M. so he return home, passing the
place where Östen later woke up. As it was still daylight Gustav should have

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
- Where was I during those hours? I estimate having been gone around four and a
half hours. I didn´t arrive home until half past seven or eigtht o´clock in the
evening. I almost got beaten because they believed I was lying. They sent me to
bed and I was bedridden four days in fewer. Probably I had catched a cold lying
on the road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">- It looked as if the objects were pulsating
simultaneously all three of them. Just like octopus functioning. They take in
water and move by blowing it out. It looked like the objects used the same
technique. They moved in a very elegant way, changed direction and appeared to steer
with this pulsating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">When studying this early close encounter case I am immediately
reminded of a rather obscure idea in the annals of UFO history, usually referred
to as the Space Animal Theory. Various types of sky creatures is also mentioned
in science fiction literature. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the short story <i>The
Horror of the Heights</i> published in 1913. An aviator investigating planes
disappearing discovers that balloon-like creatures looking like aerial
jellyfish reside in the upper atmosphere.</span></div>

such a photograph in a way that seemed to me to multiply my chances of success
– all of it based on the radar evidence that some UFOs hail from the invisible
yet adjacent realm. I got the pulsation not from a spaceship engine, but from
something alive, precipitating its form repeatedly into a film emulsion… Study
of thousands of exposures through the years leaves me in no doubt that the sky
background of infrared photographs contain all kinds of artifacts, organisms
and forms that are new to mankind… The existence of these organisms seems to be
essentially plasmatic, i.e., having their form expressed in heat substance.
They travel in pulsatory fashion, swelling and shrinking cyclically as they
move through the air, much as we pulsate with our heartbeat and swell and
shrink with our lung movements. They are spheroidal, and therefore often looks
like discs.”</span></div>

that the bioforms photographed by Constable are simply infrared artifacts
occurring inside the camera or already present in the infrared film before the
photos are taken. Whatever the truth in this matter there is a strong
resemblance between the pulsating spheroids photographed by Constable and the
pulsating objects observed by Östen Engström. What he really did encounter that
Spring afternoon in 1922 and what happened during the four missing hours remain
a mystery.</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-91564980686940981462020-05-02T18:45:00.000+02:002020-05-03T08:54:44.974+02:00The Quarantined Planet<div class="MsoNormal">

probably assume it is just another lamentation of the ongoing Corona pandemic
and all the problems caused by the forced quarantine most of us have to endure. Well,
you are in for a surprise, this is about an entirely different sort of
quarantine, a central theme in the Esoteric Tradition, what I use to call the
Alcatraz theory. The assertion that our planet is a sort of interplanetary
Alcatraz, a quarantined prison world where the scum and criminals of other
planets have been placed to work out their own destiny. An interesting point is that this claim was
also presented by several of the first generation UFO contactees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">During the Summer of 1978 UFO-Sweden arranged a
large UFO exhibition in Köping, a town in the middle of Sweden. This exhibition was also arranged for several years. The
inauguration speech in 1980 was delivered by Anders Gernandt, former member of the
Swedish Parliament och very interested in the UFO enigma. During the speech
Gernandt stated his belief that ”Earth is the Kumla-prison of the Universe”. He
was referring to Sweden´s largest prison facility at Kumla. This statement
probably raised a few eyebrows. Not many of the listeners were aware of the
history of the interplanetary Alcatraz idea, but it can be found referred to in the
most unlikely writings. Famous Swedish author August Strindberg wrote in <i>En blå
bok</i> (1913: ”… the earth is a prison for those who have committed crimes in
heaven, we are all rascals…” (Zones of the Spirits. A book of Thoughts, p.
235).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Moscow, summer 1933. Journalist and author Arthur Koestler
is relaxing at Café Metropoles. He has been sent to the Soviet Union to write
about Stalin´s first Five-Year-Plan. After a few Vodkas his mood changes and he
becomes painfully aware of the acute misery of human existence on this planet.
Instead of an article on the Five-Year-Plan he starts formulating a fantasy on
the Metropole´s napkins. This fantasy, a drama, was published as <i>Twilight Bar</i>
in 1945. Two interplanetary visitors, Alpha and Omega, suddenly arrive on Earth
with a mission to find the worst and most unhappy planet in the Universe. They
find it - Tellus. Alpha and Omega give the governments three days to change the
situation. If not, humanity will be wiped out and another civilization take its
place. The drama ends one hour before the three days have expired.</span></div>

system where organic life is possible. On other planets, man’s lowest envelope
(49:5-7) is an aggregate envelope and not an organic one. As a rule there is
only one such planet in each solar system. That planet is in fact given a
special task. Organic life is the life that is the most unsuitable to
consciousness development. The organism is an envelope of suffering with its
potentials for disease, disablement, and general helplessness. It is to such
planets that monads are transferred from other planets, monads that have a
repulsive basic tendency and thus instinctive hatred, which renders evolution
so enormously difficult.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The idea of Earth as a very special planet in our
part of the universe can be found in writings of authors perhaps not expected
to harbour such ”irrational” and heretic views. On November 17, 2013 British
author Doris Lessing died, aged 94, at her home in London. She was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Once asked what she considered her foremost
works she answered that it was the five novels collectively known as <i>Canopus in
Argus: Archives</i>, written between 1979-1983. This was a surprising answer to all
who were not aware of Doris Lessing´s profound interest in mysticism and
esoteric traditions, especially Sufism. That the Sufi tradition was an
important philosophy and the ideological basis of many of her later novels was
totally missed in the obituaries and articles in the Swedish press.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Canopus in Argus novels is the story of
interstellar intervention with the aim to accelerate the biological and
cultural evolution of Earth (Shikasta). Early in Earth history
extraterrestrials from Canopus visited our planet and tried to civilize the the
primitive inhabitants with genetic engineering and cultural influence. After a
cosmic catastrophe contact is partially broken and another group arrives with
evil intentions, spreading violence, hate and destruction. Both groups
infiltrate their agents on Shikasta and the story is presented through the eyes
of George Sherban, a Canopus agent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After Shikasta there were four more volumes in the
series. Anyone acquainted with the esoteric tradition will immediately
recognize ideas and themes from the Ancient Wisdom. Volume three, <i>The Sirian
Experients</i>, is especially interesting because of Doris Lessing´s preface:
"I think it is likely that our view of ourselves as a species on this
planet now is inaccurate, and will strike those who come after us as inadequate
as the world view of, let´s say, the inhabitants of New Guinea seems to us.
That our current view of ourselves as a species is wrong. That we know very
little about what is going on. That a great deal of what is going on is not
told to ordinary citizens, but remains the property of small castes and
juntas."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">In a further comment Doris Lessing´s interest in
both UFOs and the esoteric tradition becomes even more explicit: "I would
not be at all surprised to find out that this earth had been used for the
purposes of experiment by more advanced creatures... and that there might have
been a science in the past which we have forgotten... that we may be enslaved
in ways we know nothing about, befriended in ways we know nothing about... As
for UFOs, we may hardly disbelieve in what is so plentifully vouched for by so
many sound, responsible, sensible people, scientific and secular".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Alcatraz idea is
fascinating but not very comforting. In the Esoteric Tradition we are told that
evolution on this planet is especially tough but makes us specialists in
handling excessive and organized evil. We can if doing the right thing become a
sort of interplanetary Navy Seals or Special Operations Forces. Earth is a hard school and
not the nicest place to be stranded on. John Keel expressed it in his own
very special way: ”The earth is not inhabited. It is infested”</span>Håkan Blomqvisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15825544298402065497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848174650991487868.post-12068903778869091262020-04-24T11:21:00.003+02:002020-04-24T12:54:04.136+02:00Space People - Physical Versus Etheric<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">This
quote from the editorial by P. D. Thomas is a good summary of one the most
long-standing controversies and debates in the UFO movement. It is still not
resolved, although today a large number of ufologists are adherents of the
multiverse, 4-D or etheric theory. To get a historic perspective of what the
first generation contactees stated on this issue I have compiled some relevant
quotes from the early UFO literature.</span></div>

have repeatedly described the aeroforms as emergents – meaning thereby that
they emerge out of one space-time frame of reference into another, by means of
converting their energy rates, or frequencis. When they enter the frequencis of
color, sound and tangibility to which our senses react, we are able to perceive
them. This word emergent was recommended by the Mark Probert Controls as being
the most suitable at our command.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">In his letter to Karl and Amy Veit, September 19, 1961,
published in <i>Besucher aus dem Weltraum</i>, Drake makes these interesting comments
(my translation): "There are very few people who have had real physical
contact with space ships or space people, like ourselves. I have on various
occasions experienced how space people appear in condensed form and I could
shake their hands. After the contact they disappeared into a higher
frequency." What made me especially fascinated by Eugene Drake was the
fact that he, several years before George Adamski, claimed physical contact with space
people and was actually the first to print illustrations of the classic Adamski
type scout ship and cigar shaped space craft. A fact that has not been noticed,
or at least mentioned, by American ufologists.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Based upon the published writings of BSRA och Eugene
Drake it is evident that the multiverse explanation of flying saucers and space
people was clearly established as an idea in the California metaphysical community before George Adamski. He was the contactee that, from the
beginning, always insisted that flying saucers were physical, technological
craft and the space people just like us with organic physical bodies. People on
Venus and Mars were no different from Earth people except in spiritual and
technical advancement. This was clearly stated in the booklets he sent out:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">No,
they do not! If they were capable of materializing and dematerializing, why
have they bothered to build metal ships… We know from tracking their ships on
radar, and from examining them after they have crashed, that they are indeed
very ”material”. They are normal human beings of flesh and blood the same as we
on Earth.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Mr. Adamski did carry on a conversation with the operator of said ship. But
brother Adamski was so excited he does not remember clearly all that was said.
This particular ship was from the planet Venus. We would like to remind you
however, that the intense heat on that body, due to its proximity to the sun
and an atmosphere heavy with carbon dioxide, make it highly unlikely or
impossible that beings with the same organic structure as earth-man could abide
on its surface. The Venus beings live in the ether of this planet."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bring their body vibrations inside our visiual limits as easily as we can
condense unseen moisture out of the air into water, and then freeze it into
ice... Many spiritualist mediums can materialize people from beyond the door of
death. do not let yourself be confused, howeer, with these ectoplasmic figures;
or the words spoken through them. All figure of people generated through the
ectoplasm of another person, are from the transition or earthboud level, or are

later in life, found it difficult to accept the Venus origin of the space
people. When Timothy Good interviewed Menger in 1978 he speculated or wondered
whether the visitors he met really came from Venus?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Howard Menger: ”Well, I asked them where they came from,
and they told the truth, but I believe it´s a possibility that I might have
distorted that answer. You see, when they say they have just come from a planet
we call Venus, that doesn´t mean they are Venusians, but I interpreted it as
that…. But I think that I might have been wrong. According to what they told
me, they led me to believe that there´s no life on any of the planets in this
solar system – I mean such as we people.” <br />

told of life in our solar system and explained in his book <i>From Outer Space to
You</i>, that organic life exists only on our planet but the space people in our
solar system live in another part of the multiverse, normally not visible to
us: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">"For instance, on Venus and Saturn the rate of vibration
is much higher, and renders corporeal structures more tenous; and if an Earth
man in physical body could go there he probably would not see some to the life
forms which vibrates more rapidly than his own - no more than he can see the
spiritual life forms in and around his own planet." (p. 126-127).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the 1950s were given a multiverse explanation by the alien visitors. Possible
exceptions are Truman Bethurum and Daniel Fry who, to my knowledge, made no
clear statements on this issue. But Daniel Fry mentioned in an interview during
his trip to Sweden in 1970 regarding his contact <a href="https://ufoarchives.blogspot.com/2018/08/alan-enigmatic-man-from-space.html">Alan</a>: ”Alan is a middle-aged
gentleman with an appearance that does not disclose his origin. But if a doctor

life and activities for everyone on this planet. The UFO-Sweden 50 years
anniversary has been postponed until Autumn and all meetings and social
gatherings have been cancelled. We are all more or less quarantined in our
homes. No big problem for an introverted, retired librarian like me, but a melancholy
blues for most people. To cheer up and give some consolation to, especially
Swedish, ufologists in these troubled times, join me in a memorable journey in time to
the UFO-Sweden annual meeting 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Clas Svahn and I lectured during the expo. My talk
was called <i>Aliens on Earth</i>, presenting results from many years of study of the
contactee enigma. Clas lectured on <i>Secret Swedish UFO reports</i>, giving insights
into his extensive research of the formerly classified Swedish reports in
military archives. Both lectures were well attended with many questions and
signing of books. It is always fascinating to mingle with Expo visitors to hear
comments and often also receiving new data on UFO observations. The ”close
encounter” at the annual expo is an excellent way to get new cases for
investigation.</span></div>

exhibition and loading everything in the transport cart. After some rest at the
hotel it was time for the traditional UFO-Sweden dinner. This time at the
Italian <i>Ernesto Ristorante</i>. As usual the dinner was excellent and the
UFO-Sweden gang left happy and pleased for a stroll to the hotel in the warm
Spring evening.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Like all of society UFO-Sweden has been forced to
redirect activities because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The 50 years anniverary
planned on April 17-19 in Norrköping has been postponed and can hopefully be
arranged during the Autumn of 2020. Now when we are all adviced to minimize
social gatherings is the perfect time for some UFO-Sweden nostalgia. This time
recollections from earlier decades when much of UFO-Sweden´s social activity
was concentrated in a building not far from the city of Enköping, a site referred
to by UFO-Sweden members as the UFO Cottage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">The middle 1970s was a time of intensive activity in
UFO-Sweden. Many new local groups were formed and there was a high demand for
public lectures and much media interest in UFOs and the UFO movement. The local
UFO-Sweden unit <i>Enköpings UFO-förening</i> (Enköping UFO Society) was founded in
1976 and soon developed into one of the most active local groups. In 1980 Mr.
Arnold Idebring (1921-2011) was elected chairman and the group succeeded in
hiring a cottage at Ulunda, outside Enköping. A large inauguration was arranged
on August 10, 1980 with some 30 participants, including the then UFO-Sweden
chairman Christer Nordin.</span></div>

UFO-Sweden activities: board meetings, lectures, seminars and a variety of
social gatherings and parties. Beginning in 1976 the local group kept an open house
at the cottage every Wednesday evening, where members and others interested in UFOs
could get together for a chat and a cup of coffee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Arnold Idebring was a talented artist and he loved
to create badges and UFO models for the many local units. Some of these were
used as decorations on the walls of the UFO cottage. These beautiful
decorations can now be found on the walls at the AFU headquarters.</span></div>

editors of <i>UFO Allehanda</i>, the newsletter published by Enköpings UFO-förening. Arnold
never wrote any UFO books but published a wide variety of amusing and historical
articles in the local newsletter, often using the headline <i>In the Head of an Old
Man</i>. Between 1985-1990 he also edited the UFO-Sweden newsletter <i>Lokal
Information</i>. Arnold Idebring left us on New Years Ewe 2011. He will always be
remembered as a idealist and one of the hardworking pillars of UFO-Sweden.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Another important member of Enköpings UFO-förening
was Jörgen Granlie (1929-2013), for many years one of the leading lights of
Swedish ufology. He started his ufological career in 1976 as board member of Enköpings
UFO-förening. Between 1978-2011 Jörgen served as board member of UFO-Sweden in
several capacities: vice chairman, secretary and treasurer. He was also an
active field investigator, always meticulous in research and documentation. The
older generation of Swedish ufologists also remember him as a skilled
instructor at the annual UFO-Sweden Field Investigator training seminars in the
1970ies and 80ies. Jörgen Granlie worked as an engineer all his life. He was a
practical man, a doer and idealist always ready to lend a hand with hard work.
At the UFO Cottage Jörgen was often seen
moving the lawn, fixing the plumbing or doing general maintenance work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In 2011 UFO-Sweden was
ordered to move out of the UFO Cottage as the municipality, who owned the house,
had decided it was to be demolished. It was with a sense of sadness and
nostalgia that UFO-Sweden arranged the last board meeting at the UFO Cottage on
March 19, 2011. With mixed feelings the house was emptied of all UFO documents
and parafernalia and then the members of the board said goodby to this
historical place and building. When Clas Svahn, a few months later, passed by
the site, the house was gone. Many of the UFO-Sweden members will always cherish
the memory and the happy times at the UFO Cottage.</span></div>
