Calvine UFO and The Bude Flying Triangle

 Am I missing something?

According to Newsweek

https://www.newsweek.com/best-ufo-picture-calvine-photo-found-30-years-missing-1733673

"On August 4, 1990, two hikers near Calvine in Scotland took a photograph of a mysterious, diamond-shaped flying object hovering in the middle of the sky.

For 32 years that image, dubbed the "Calvine photo," disappeared from the public eye, becoming the object of speculation, theories and myths. But now, the groundbreaking image has finally resurfaced thanks to the efforts of British journalist David Clarke.

After 13 years of research, Clarke—who has worked as a curator for Britain's National Archives and is currently an associate professor at Sheffield Hallam University—found that former Royal Air Force (RAF) press officer Craig Lindsay had held on to a copy of the last remaining original print, waiting for someone to enquire about the mysterious image.

In the photo—one of a series of six the hikers reportedly took—a diamond-shaped object can be seen flying in the sky, while a fighter jet can be spotted in the background not too far from it."

The first thing I noticed all those years ago was that there is something "off" about the positioning and quality of the UFO and there was something wrong about the aircraft. In point of fact the main criticism was that there was absolutely nothing in the photo to use as scale or -pointed out very quickly- nothing to show WHERE the photo was taken.

There are things you can look for but if you are dealing with a copy from a copy (with the old film cameras) it gets harder. Ground Saucer Watch in the United States "pioneered" UFO photo computer analysis and even ones identified as "genuine" many years later were revealed as hoaxes; you really need the original negatives now THOSE found would have been a breakthrough.

This is certainly NOT "one of the best" UFO photographs in existence.

I have to keep asking myself why an "arch sceptic" such as David Clarke go so excited and started promoting this photo?

We KNOW that Ufologists have been faking UFO stories since the 1980s almost like a cottage industry. It is why certain reports are never given a high credibility rating. The biggest hoaxing Ufologists are based -or were- in the North of England and I wonder whether anyone recalls this photo from 1995?

A copy was sent to me anonymously all that identified its source was a Yorkshire postmark and a note (typed) that read "Taken in Scotland I want to be anonymous for saffety" ((sic). Then Encounters magazine published the photo -after I received a call from them about this "genuine flying triangle being refuelled" and had I seen it? No one at the magazine seemed to want to answer any questions about who the photo was from. In fact, they were downright refusing to answer questions -after they had phoned me!

I then got a phone call from a reporter at the Mirror newspaper who asked me about flying triangle being refuelled. I stated that I had seen it along with some photo specialists and we believed it to be a fake. The reporter then said "Yeah, our photog reckons its dodgy" -my guess is that they wanted someone to say it was genuine!

I then followed procedure and checked with various people and organisations including the Ministry of Defence. It took less than 24 hours to find out what was going on.

The story was that Encounters had received the photo just before going to press. They asked no questions and never checked but "grabbed" the photo. They then -the magazine which would have no right to do so- immediately contacted the Daily Mail newspaper to sell the photograph to them. The rather annoyed editor told me they had "checked the photo" (no details) and that it was "a bloody fake". It was a "fake" in the sense that it was a mock-up produced to show how stealth aircraft being refuelled might look. In fact, Encounters had "paid hardly anything" for the mock-up image and then went about trying to sell it themselves for a great deal.

Things got even less likely when the hoax was exposed. Encounters stated that they knew who the hoaxer was but would not name him and would take the matter no further since he had "learning difficulties" -yet conned them into buying the image ("a very good quality photo" I was told)? And so the "Bude photo" as it was known died a death after a quick apology and before anyone dug into the story and found out that they had been trying to sell the photo as their own for money.

The only reason this was discovered to be a fake is that it was published in a magazine read by an aviation reporter who spotted it. So, if 'lost' and turning up in 2022 would it be genuine because the copy looked good?

Look at these photos sent to me by someone I know -NOT involved with UFOs- and who was shocked by what he captured on a hot sunny day on a hill overlooking Bristol. I guarantee these are not faked.

We can see that these objects are at a distance from the observer (not seen at the time) and would be 300 feet or so above the city.

Below we can see the two discs one above the other

The "saucer shape with dome -two objects moving together over the central Bristol area. and I have darkened this a little to try to make the shapes seem clearer. The photo gives us a lot of the information we need and which is lacking in the Bude and Calvine photos.

So why has this copy of the photo suddenly turned up after 32 years of, I am led to believe, Nick Pope and many other Ufologists trying to find it? It has been mentioned on TV, online, in magazines and the word was out in RAFT circles as well as the MoD in general Lord (Peter) Hill-Norton told myself and others associated with our work that he had never heard or seen the Calvine photo. Would he be expected to have seen it? Yes. In case you have no idea who he was:

Hill-Norton was swiftly propelled into the post of First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in July 1970 and then, having been promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 12 March 1971,into the post of Chief of the Defence Staff in April 1971following the unexpected early retirement of Sir Michael Le Fanu due to ill health. In the latter role he gave the final commitment to Project Chevaline, the Polaris missile improvement programme. He became Chairman of the NATO Military Committee in 1974, remaining in that post until his retirement in 1977. He also maintained his various links within defence after retirement and was responsible for the setting up of UFO Concern which aimed at getting some form of UFO disclosure from the UK government (my own disclosure is that I was recruited to UFO Concern after it was setup).

Again; why now and WHY such a hullaballoo over a copy of a suspect photo?

Get off of your asses

 

Slenderman  -a commercial hoax fully documented including (c)

Black Eyed Kids - a hoax by a journalist and BEK were never reported before his story. Proven

Anything else?

DO NOT accept hack, sensationalist authors whose only aim is to make money out of your gullibility.

Skin Walker Ranch -hoax

Oh. I forgot. People want to live in a fantasy world where every home -basements, lofts -all have a "portal to Hell" and "dimensional gateway" a "demonic presence" and always a "little ghost girl -or is it?"

There are real, genuine mysteries out there. Get off your asses and do some research. Do field work and do not fake stuff.

Important Announcement

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

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

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

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

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

So I have decided that this cannot go on.

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

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

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

"Drama", Counterintelligence, and the UAP Conversation

BTS RAW #10 - Deepening UAP Secrecy & ? A Few Notes

John Greenwald's summation at the end of his video is spot on. As I noted in my last post from the very outset of this AATIP, AAWSAP, Elizondo farce the one thing that was strikingly obvious is that the UFO community (it isn't really but we'll call it that for the sake of argument) to "UFO believers" have been gas-lighted and slowly told what they wanted to hear.

Above: Captain Edward J. Ruppelt former head of USAF Project Blue Book who coined the term "UFO"

From the outset Elizondo and his counter intelligence people have led the narrative: the press and media and those wanting to jump on that particular bandwagon have started to use the term "UAP" and they have to explain to everyone that "its an official term for UFO -same thing". Incorrect. The person who officially coined the term UFO was the then head of USAF Project Blue Book Captain Edward J. Ruppelt. In fact "UFOB" was also used in typical military style -Unidentified Flying OBject. It is a term a lot of us used since the 1970s (UFOB) to denote a report of what is obviously a constructed object rather than just a vague light. In fact, during the late 1970s and early 1980s we tried using the term UAP within Ufology and do you know what? After a few years we had to go back to UFO as having to explain constantly that UAP was the same as UFO was getting monotonous. The USAF never used the term UAP and it seems to have been selected as a project hook word.

All the UFO groups wanting to be hip and cool are now using the term UAP and advising (telling) its people to use the acronym as it is "relevant". And that in itself is causing arguments and confusion amongst Ufologists -I heard from one that he was told to change the UFO term used in a report to UAP and re-submit. Slam-dunk for the "Elizondo Camp".

All the usual media hucksters in Ufology have now started dropping the term UAP into their UFO lies, twisting of facts and using solved incidents as "still a mystery" disinformation. Those Ufologists are the saps helping to promote this deceit.

The "UFO believers" are accepting the words of those who have deceived them for decades by lying about UFOs and ridiculing witnesses because they are claiming to be "UFO whistle-blowers" and Elizondo is not a very good actor and watching his performances they are well scripted but the key "hook" words are delivered badly and why people do not realise he is gaslighting is not surprising...except it is to be expected because they are told what they want to hear even if there is absolutely no facts to back up what they are being told.

When I wrote that I did not believe Elizondo and gave a breakdown as to why I got some very personal attacks from UFO believers -not counter arguments which are ALWAYS welcome but insults and not one of these people knew me or anything about my work. Elizondo has his pets well trained and ready to go for anyone who even doubts his word. His behaviour is of someone who knows the long play con is reliant on people believing.

Why should Greenwald be the subject of some vicious trolling, at the seeming instigation of Elizondo when all he is doing -and providing the documentation to prove it (which Elizondo has never done)- is trying to sort out an AATIP/AAWSAP (think about that last acronym) timeline and find out more about the people involved?  UFO believers should be encouraging him to dig deeper and get more facts but instead he has become (in their eyes thanks to expert guidance) "the huckster", "the con man" and worse. 

1. Establish the base story

2. Drop in key "hooks"

3. Add claims while stating "this cannot be proven because of---"

4.Set yourself up as a man fighting the establishment

5.  Once the mob is hooked lead the narrative and turn the mob against those who might point out problems in the story.

6. Create discontent and establish a chaotic situation of doubt and inter-group/personality rivalry.

Sound familiar?   I will NOT use the term UAP and, being honest here, I long ago left the silly lights-in-the-sky subject for specialisation and sitting on the outside I can see this all playing out because I am not just going to bloggers oir people with You Tube channels who preach what I want to hear. 

Read my previous post. UFO believers and Ufology opened up the doors and closed them behind the men who are out to spread chaos and deceit. There is no "UFO disclosure" coming (again) because the subject -as I stated a couple months back- has now been classified by the very people hailed as heroes for saying they want the truth out there.

There is nothing new here and all that is going to happen is that we will hear far less about official UFO reports. Remember the names of all the people involved in this from the start and start joining the dots.  Skinwalker Ranch may well be a part of the plan -again:look at all of the names and ASK QUESTIONS!
