clamping down even more. on UAP
It may just be rumour but I have been asking around and it seems that far from becoming more open on "UAP" those in charge of the subject at the Pentagon are going to place UAP photos/video etc under tighter classification.
There you go -you worshipped the great 'hero' whistle blowers and this is what it got; them clamping down even more.

UFO Classified | Emma Woods and Jack Brewer -Some Notes (THS)
My first thought when I saw the subject of this particular episode was "Here we go more 'he said and she said'!" but what we heard pushed home what I said about Hopkins, and particularly about Jacobs, many years ago when I realised what was going on.
With Hopkins it was Sight Unseen where it read as fiction and at that time I knew someone acquainted with the "VIP witness" (the then Sec Gen of the United Nations and he asked if he were aware that he was a witness to a UFO abduction (light heartedly)? The response once it was explained was a denial of being any such thing or actually even being in the area in question. It was a lie.
Bit-by-bit other snippets emerged and by that time Hopkins had decided to no longer communicate with me.
With Jacobs it was after I defended him in writing following an article in Fortean Times (he read my response but the publication refused to publish any counter article which is typical of not just Forteans but most little fringe cliques). Jacobs was interested in the Project Damocles the AOP Bureau wanted to instigate but something felt wrong. When I questioned something (not that bad actually, quite minor) he no longer responded. I later heard from an acquaintance at a MUFON conference that he had overheard Hopkins and Jacobs refer to the symbols allegedly seen during UFO abductions I had sent them and it was clear the two wanted no input but were "keeping symbols between themselves and only from their subjects and Budd was coordinating that".
I never accept hearsay, even from a trusted person so when I saw the video posted by Carol Rainey of how Hopkins "stacked the decks" and how he knew Linda Cortile was faking evidence and hoaxing but still went ahead with this fraud my heart really sank. I supported Hopkins back in the early days and even have a signed copy of Intruders with a personal message inside and, before they were stolen, I had two C90 cassettes he had sent me of his MUFON talks. I had to sit down and ask myself how long he had been doing this? Was his much lauded investigation with Ted Bloecher of the "Stonehenge", NY, 1975 UFO incident (Flying Saucer Review Vol. 23 no. 3, October 1977) tainted? I suspect not since Bloecher has always had a solid reputation backed up by meticulous records.
The rot seems to have set in as soon as hypnosis creeped in. I was willing to accept a "false memory" implanted -perhaps even considered something "humane" to save the percipient from the world view shattering experience they underwent. However, as things progressed and I listened to those early tapes I did write notes regarding my concerns.
When we got to the point where percipients were regressed back to being little children to recall their abductions then to when some were abducted (?!) while still in the womb I realised that something was wrong and when hypnosis was used to regressed people back to previous lives and abductions that was it.
I looked deeper and re-read Hopkins and Jacobs books and they had points where you could see, as a body of work, where things were going wrong. In Walking Among Us Jacobs had lost the plot. I even stated so in a 2017 review -ot was now reading like bad sci fi. Pure fiction.
John Carpenter, another abduction=hypnotist specialist sold his "subjects" files to Robert Bigelow and I am not going to go into other personal scandals around him and his work,
Let it be clear that Jacobs was an historian and Hopkins an artist (producing some interesting pieces) but they were nor medically qualified nor qualified psychiatrists. For Jacobs to tell a "subject" that she is affected by MPD -Multiple Personality Disorder- and that she has the classic symptoms and needs medication for this; as have a number of other "subjects" he has dealt with is totally and utterly wrong. He is not qualified to diagnose any psychiatric disorder let alone tell a "subject" this while "under hypnosis". In fact he totally and utterly abuses hypnosis. When he jokes about a sex shop he frequents and how he can get Woods a chastity belt (he's done it before he claims) that goes beyond any decent conduct. That his voice does seem to suggest he is finding this a "turn on" is worrying.
People have accused Woods of being a hoaxer and so on. I have had no contact with her and not looked into her case so I am not taking sides -and despite what was said in the video there are two sides to every story. You cannot dismiss counter accusations by stating that. In this instance I was interested in the behaviour of Jacobs who, even if Woods was faking it all, behaved in a manner that makes him predatory. And not just in the case of Woods. Jacobs' followers and those invested in the whole UFO abduction pop culture even use words such as "retarded" regarding Woods while stating that she is no such thing but a calm and collected hoaxer.
If a person completely and utterly believes that they have been abducted then they may have been -even if not in reality as that is how Ruth Syndrome works (see UFO Contact?). People keep referring to "subjects" but that is something I, personally, do not like. The bottom line is this: these people are just that -human beings-and they should be treated with dignity and respect. This should NOT be about the "next book" or getting an interesting chapter. This is NOT about making money. Gather the data and evidence, yes, do checks all the way, yes. But if the person is a genuine abductee then they have just had their entire world view shattered and that is why so many suffer mental trauma -mental shock and post traumatic stress disorder. You are gathering data "for science" (?) but above all you are trying to help the percipient come to terms with what happened to them.
"Missing time? Hey, get on the couch I'm gonna hypnotise you!" is not the approach. You need to find out more about the person and their life and then get up to the date and time of what ever happened to them. You listen. You do not push for what happened. You talk, listen and tell the person to write down any dreams they have or anything they recall that might be related to what they experienced. It is a long and dry process and you need to keep reassuring the vulnerable human being sat in front of you. There are techniques that they can use to try to recall events. Hypnosis should never be used unless the person involved is suffering trauma or the hidden event is somehow affecting their daily lives to a point where physical and mental health is affected.
The investigator should never attempt hypnosis no matter how many courses she/he has taken. Hypnosis should only be carried out by a qualified person and I would always suggest that it be one that has NOT dealt with UFOs. The investigator should not sit in on the first session unless absolutely required to by the person undergoing the therapy who would feel safer. Even in the remotest possibility of telepathy the investigator should not even be thinking of an abduction scenario. Record sessions and take the advice of the qualified person on how to proceed.
Always -always- remember that you are dealing with a human being not a piggy bank.

To Make Something VERY Clear
I am a sceptic and go by the evidence.
I am NOT a debunker who dismisses things without looking at any evidence.
I have made it very clear that I believe any alleged encounter such as a Close Encounter of the Third Kind must be investigated with an open mind taking many things into account. Since 1974 this has, sadly, been my main work so I have seen the flaws in investigation as well as in cases that point to a solution being non alien.
It is very important that these reports are investigated and if out of 100 cases 99 can be dismissed then that still leaves the 1 report. It would be good to have people involved in exobiology/xenobiology involved in looking at the entity descriptions in reports but that does not seem like something that will happen soon.
I point out proven flaws in evidence and procedure and that is it. I go into each account open minded and with absolutely no pre conceived conclusions for or against.
Review -UFOs The Ultimate Abduction: We Are Property -Raymond E. Fowler

This book addresses and answers a rampant question within UFOlogy, whether UFOS are physical or psychic in nature. In my early days as a UFO investigator I would throw UFO reports that contained paranormal phenomena in the proverbial wastebasket. My position, etched in the halls of Congress, was that UFOS were machine-like physical craft from another star system. However, as time went by, I watched in dismay as several respected UFO researchers moved from a physical to a psychic interpretation of the UFO phenomenon. Little did I know then that my own view would also slowly but surely be honed to accommodate ever deeper levels of the psychic components triggered by the UFO experience.
Stringed to together by amazing synchronicities, I became obsessed, one after the other with UFO Abductions, Out-of-the-body experiences, Near Death Experiences, After Death Communications, Quantum Physics, and the Time Slip Phenomenon. Studies of these phenomena led me to the startling conclusion that they, and UFOS, are interconnected and all part of one encompassing metaphenomenon. I concluded that UFOS originate from the dimension NDErs describe and that we are transitory citizens of that world of Light who shuffle back and forth between a particle dimension and a wave (light) dimension through reincarnation.
The UFO abductions reflect UFO entities monitoring and caring for the human particle form in preparation for their metamorphosizing by OBES into a new body of light in the afterlife dimension. The robed human-appearing entities that greed NDErs at the world of light appear to be controlling this process and to be genetically related to humans. PLES on the other hand reflect physical humans returning and repeating this process by reincarnation as part of a natural constant inter-balanced exchange between matter and energy - between particle and wave. Inconceivable as this might be to the reader, the final analysis reached by the author is that UFOS represent a final abduction for one’s current life and that we are property!
Fowler notes how he, like others in Ufology would dismiss anyone reporting a UFO twice or multiple times as crap pots. Also dismissed were reports of people encountering entities. This is true even outside the United States. I have previously written about how, in the 1970s right up to the 1990s I would be mocked and called (never to my face) the "UFO Nut" ("UFO Naut" -they thought it was funny!). We lost a tremendous amount of data and cases because of this attitude. The Ufologists were "nuts and bolts" men who chased reports of UFOs but did not even think what or who might be piloting them -an incredible lack of logical thinking and if a reported UFO did not "fit" in with the rest then....put it in the bin.
When confronted by accounts of alien entity encounters -CE3Ks- Ufologists tended to be totally unprepared. Their mindset was not to ponder the "Who's in the UFO" but here they were being confronted by reports such as the Hills, Walton and Andreasson. Abductions. Just as there is a fear amongst many astronomers and even those working in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence of aliens being proven to exist so there was a fear amongst Ufologists of entity cases being real -some even jumped into bed with debunkers (not literally!) and added extras that they made up or had heard to ridicule the accounts. Even in 2022 there are 25 and 35 year "UFO veterans" who ask "What are these reports of the little guys about?" (they need to read my books)/
Fowler came from that nuts and bolts group and admits it freely. Reading this nook was almost painful. I feel that the Andreasson Affair was a classic in Ufology. We have the classic case history of how a person becomes an 'abductee' -Karla Turner's books are really must reading for this as it shows how everything from the "trigger" to believing even the minutest incident may involve alien intervention. I believe that Turner was genuine in her claims but the evidence is that she had Ruth Syndrome (again, read my first CE3K book (UFO Contact?) for a full explanation and case samples).
With the Andreasson Affair we have another perfect case study and all that it entails from coincidences, dreams and altered states all intermixed with religious belief. In this case Fowler has documented what should be considered a classic and must reading.
The book itself (UFOs The Ultimate Abduction: We Are Property) is far more than a book about UFO abductions. It tells us about how Fowler had a UFO sighting as a child and how he eventually got into Ufology, the attitudes that prevailed, how the CIA destroyed NICAP from within (a classic case of counter intelligence infiltration and taking over an organisation/subject), the Condon Committee, USAF Project Blue Book as well as some very interesting UFO cases. On that side of things this is, again, must reading for people interested in UFO history and wanting to find out about Fowler's involvement in these matters.
The section where he turns to abductions is where people may have their minds blown. There are cases where there is sleep paralysis as well as altered states involved and all the classic symptoms are there and yet these seem to be dismissed "because of the UFO involvement" and with that response eyes should start rolling.
Why are 'abductees' finding synchronicity in the times that they wake up? Yes, again, this is a subject mentioned and it is almost as though people tend to not research or read up on things. Your body's internal clock (yes, we all have one) is controlled by an area of the brain called the SCN (suprachiasmatic nucleus). The SCN is located in the hypothalamus. The SCN is sensitive to signals of dark and light. The optic nerve in your eyes senses the morning light. The Circadian rhythms form a basic “schedule” for our bodies that cause us to wake up at roughly the same time each day- provided that you live a relatively routine life and many things can throw this off including stress.
No aliens involved.
The striking case for me was that of the Lebels and what appeared to be a long term study of them and their property. It made me think, to a degree, of the Coombs farm in Wales during the 1970s. Reading this was like reading an old style CE3K account and, as Fowler suggests, there may have been far more involved but once the family moved on that ended the matter. In Ufology this is a big problem; once the initial account is compiled the case is closed. There are practical problems; you want to keep a property under surveillance in some way even if just asking the new owners to report anything unusual how do you approach those new owners? "Hi. You do not know me and I can guarantee you I am not insane but I am a UFO investigator and the previous owners used to see aliens in and around the home and property---" at that point the door probably slams in your face and you go sit in your car and wait for the police responders to ask you questions.
Now I did write that this should be a classic for another reason and that is because we see how Fowler went from nuts and bolts to becoming a 'UFO abductee' himself. Everything is circumstantial and even people he was with cannot confirm what he claims to have seen -this for many tends to add that touch of "alien interference" and tends never to be questioned. That Fowler resigned from MUFON after believing he was an abductee was the correct thing to do and the reason is simple; he was head of MUFON Director of Investigations and could be "led" by any aliens to dismiss reports and totally taint research (this MUFON eventually did themselves without the aid of aliens). So, however improbable that seems it was the right move.
Leo Sprinkle dealt with many abductees via hypnosis but then believed it possible that telepathy between the subject-hypnotist-UFO investigator might taint what the subject was telling them. For that reason he stopped but something else also caused him to retire from that line of work (what he thought could taint subjects accounts if telepathy were at work) -he believed that he, too, was an abductee. Sprinkle felt that there were signs of his being an abductee but these seem, as in Fowler's case, to be circumstantial at best.
I'm prone to sleep paralysis, I sleep irregularly and wake at specific times when I do sleep -am I a UFO abductee? No. I have seen up to five light phenomenon in my adult life -I can account for every second: no missing time. My parents observed a UFO in Germany just before I was born -am I an abductee and were they? No. It goes on and on and it is the trick the mind plays because it takes common events and things and then plays a game of dot-to-dot so that the picture you make is not of a bunny rabbit sitting in profile but of a 'Zeta Reticulan" beckoning you with a long finger.
A few incidents Fowler mentions from his later years had me cringing and concerned but none had anything to do with UFOs. We also see how Fowler has led himself to intermix UFOs, abductions and "synchronicities" with Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Experiences and the conclusions are completely illogical. Out of Body abductions and then the hypnotic regressing adults (who have accumulated decades of TGVF and media accounts of UFOs) to something they believe they remember from when they were a 2 year old...a three year old and even before. That is a mockery on so many levels and showing total misuse of hypnosis.
Is it any wonder that Fowler then takes the stance of the discredit Jacobs and claims "We are property" and that aliens control our minds and spirits to the point of not just physical abductions but out of body abductions? Fowler notes Andreasson's Christian belief but also his own "fundamental Christian" belief that caused him to argue with his father when he recounted odd events and called them of "Satanic origin". I have seen this so many times since 1974; rational people who cannot explain aspects of UFO reports as nuts and bolts jumping to the conclusion that "UFOs are paranormal" and some go as far as to call on the fictitious Satan as the source of it all.
This was a fascinating read but probably not for the reasons I had thought when I purchased the book. The same facets of UFOs that make some -some- astronomers and scientists ridicule the subject can also make some Ufologists 'abductees'.
Utah UFO Display (and Skinwalker Ranch) -review)
- Publisher : Cedar Fort, Inc.; Illustrated edition (July 8, 2010)
- Paperback : 320 pages

Do UFOs really exist? Shedding new light on the UFO mystery, noted biologist Frank B. Salisbury, in collaboration with Joseph Junior Hicks, brings to life dramatic eyewitness accounts that address this timeworn puzzle.
Written in the context of modern science, Utah UFO Display includes countless interviews of people who adamantly insist they witnessed a flying saucer or were abducted by extraterrestrial beings.
Prepare to be hooked from the first page!
Well, I have to admit that for the most part this was a good read but Salisbury admits himself that he had retired and been out of the UFO field some time -hence his being dropped as consultant by Bigelow and the Skinwalker ranch group. In fact, Hicks, whose work the Skinwalker team used a lot as background and credited got the big heave-o and that rings weird. It's akin to a businessman stating he is in heavy financial trouble and he knows a friendly accountant but screw him -"I'll go it alone!" Most of the leg work and investigation work was carried out by Joseph Junior Hicks.
The problem I find is that in the years since this book first appeared Ufology has moved on (slightly) but in the table of cases we see "saw a silvery figure in house" and that's it. Even a UFO sighting recounted early in the book does not mention the fact that a entity was reported...well, it is a kind of side note at the end of the section. Everything else is pretty much "UFO standard" and it does not appear to have entered Salisbury's mind that the phenomena reported in many cases may be a natural phenomenon. This is where old Ufologists tend to make the mistakes as they conclude that every "unexplainable" is intelligently controlled or nuts and bolts.
Where we get to something new and very relevant to UFOs in 2022 is the chapter on Skinwalker Ranch itself. The family that owned it from the 1930s (not 1950s as the current myth goes) had never encountered strange phenomena of any kind and certainly not UFOs and the brother of the late owner (Garth Meyers spoke to Salisbury) had even worked on the ranch as a young man and encountered nothing unusual. Everything changed after the family of the deceased couple who owned the ranch sold it (they were all quite old so running a ranch was beyond them). Salisbury seems to suggest that the new owners accounts may have some truth in them but to my reading it read as if there was a huge pile of bovine excrement and now some denial from that source ('Tom Gorman').
Where things get bad is when George Knapp and Colm Kelleher got involved. Allegedly, Knapp had never spoken to 'Tom Gorman' but heavily embellished accounts and 'Gorman' did not even know about the book until after its publication. As I wrote at the time after reading Knapp and Kelleher's book; I do not believe a word of it. No photographs, absolutely no evidence what-so- ever (as Knapp has been recorded as stating when pushed on the subject.
It comes down to this; someone was taking the money and making the most out of false accounts and reports -even from the "crew" who were supposed to be investigating the ranch. That Bigelow actually called Meyer a liar when he stated that there was NEVER any strange phenomena at the ranch from 1930-1990s and its sale but later sold the ranch on to another "entrepreneur" says a lot. I think Bigelow caught on to the con at some point. The "must not dig in certain areas before consulting the seller" is nothing spooky but is something put into land contracts in the area due to oil deposits!
This is an interesting read for those who do read these days and do not rely on the lies found on the internet and You Tube. This book does note that some observed odd lights near the ranch but this sounds like natural phenomenon.
Conclusions about UFOs all fall into the same "I'm a nuts and bolts man and this does not seem to fit" category. The same "false gods of Ufology" are quoted (seemingly people are unaware of how their data is inaccurate or corrupted) and the same old theories pop up including how religion can help (Salisbury is a Mormon).
An interesting read as I note and the greate4st contribution to modern Ufology (again) is to the Skinwalker Ranch farce.
