I should point out that I am not referring to Marley Woods near Chichester, UK! That is the 'joke' out of the way.
I have already written about how a very secretive community asked Ted Philips to investigate the "unusual phenomena" occurring in their small community but they did not want crackpots running around and reporters everywhere. Philips took the crack Center for Trace Evidence "SIU" Team, [Special Investigations Unit] and the investigation began.
Well, we assume it did because for all we know they could just be sat around eating doughnuts and drinking coffee all day. In well over a decade, Philips has spoken on podcasts, given talks to MUFON and others about the utter strangeness that baffles the mind. We have seen a rather unimpressive, low quality video clip of a light with a lot of excited shouting and equally noisy peacocks. We are told that This happened and then That to which you can add all that Other Stuff.
Philips claims that at one point Robert Bigelow offered to pay for the investigation, as at Skinwalker Ranch, but he refused because "Its important to get the facts and truth to you people out there".
A odd light, stories of (I shook my head that Philips was trying to sell the whole Marley Woods deal with this) unidentified giant dogs that may have been seen standing bipedally and smoking cigarettes. Oh...and "portals" -there have to be portals, right? In more than a decade we have heard all of this plus Philips recounting what appears to be a direct from Skinwalker ranch story of three dogs chasing an orb and being turned to goo. No evidence or photographs just the usual bunkum.
But Philips has even fallen into the "I haven't really done much research on this but I cannot explain UFOs so they are from a parallel dimension" trap. For goodness sake he has been at this for a few decades but has not realised that two totally separate phenomena are involved and he is mixing them together -oh, and ain't that Jacques (I produce the best inaccurate data for decades) Vallee a great guy?
The clothing of "the little guys" (jeez that is so scientific) -yes, he insists on calling entities by that term- never changes which means...they travel in time!
Oh, and Philips is very interested in discovering what might be a giant alien craft lodged inside a Czech mountain.
For over a year I have sent emails and letters to any place connected with Philips but no responses and even he physical trace web site is so out of date it has cobwebs over it.
Now, please, if I have missed information or a site then let me know but for someone who professes to wanting to get the info to us he has done sweet "FA" for well over a decade.
If you put yourself up as a researcher then you need to abide by the rules of science that Ufologists keep laying claim to (however falsely) as well as the debunkers. I publish my results in my books that are fully referenced and so that anyone can check and see if I went wrong somewhere -that is research.
Either Philips needs to release a report or Ufologists need to find out where 'Marley Woods' is and double investigate but so far it all appears to be a huge flim-flam job.
George Knapp also seems to be doing well on repeating the same stories over and over -with the odd change in account every so often.
With Skinwalker Ranch we know that Bigelow is basically interested for less than altruistic reasons. If there is some way of gathering data from what is going on there that can be developed and used for financial gain then that is a "win" situation.
The US Defence Department was involved at one point? There is still name-calling over that and claim and counter claim. I think the whole affair is more flim-flam.
Why is Bigelow not moving in on Hessdalen or other UNP (Unidentified Natural Phenomena) sites around the world? Well, he is a US citizen with money and US laws to back him up. The whole game changes when you leave the US -gagging orders are slightly frowned on and European scientists would not just sit back and let these claims go uninvestigated.
It would be interesting to hear from people in the UK or Europe who have areas of continuous UFO activity and are keeping an eye on things -confidentially if necessary. But this constant secrecy is NOT helping anyone and I call out anything I think involved a degree of bunkum. More than a decade and nothing out of the 'investigation' than a movie, You Tube podcasts and talking says a lot.
It says "Fake"
And when you find websites declaring light phenomena as "entities" you know that it has all gone wrong. "I do not understand how this phenomenon operates" turns to "It has an intelligence behind it -sometimes malignant".
Skinwalker has turned into a money-maker like Roswell and Aurora and Flatwoods.
