UFO Research, Mystery Animals -My Stance

 

I have, for many years now, stated again and again and again that Ufology needs to produce technical papers citing cases and evidence and that these could then be peer reviewed. This has led some to point the finger back at me and ask "Why haven't you done that?"

I have done exactly that. I have published technical papers on my study of canids, wild cats and my name is also on papers co-authored by people from universities.

When it comes to the paranormal, "sea monsters", Sasquatch and historical zoological mysteries then they are in my various books and are all fully referenced and I have assessed reports/cases which can all be peer reviewed. I never expected to make money from my books (I have not) because the whole purpose was to get the properly investigated and researched cases "out there" because no official body is interested in anything outside of their confined boundaries. The books, because of the research put in, found long lost images and photographs not published anywhere in 100 plus years.

With the UFO books the same applies -fully referenced and containing some images -again stated to have been lost decades ago. Organisations such as the Centre for UFO Studies in the United States received free copies -as they will copies of the AOP Journal. Those will be stored for reference (I assume).

No one is interested in publishing papers on these subjects so each chapter of each book is a paper but they have all just been combined under one cover.

All my work is put out there and I even publish occasional details to show that I am not making money from this -I am confident that I will never make back the thousands I have spent on this work in over 40 decades.  I receive no funding (which is why a lot of work has crawled to a halt) so no money.

I am an open book -as is my work (except when it comes to witnesses) and am often asked how I can live with that. I live with that because I have nothing to hide like a lot of UFO groups.

When it comes to the CE3K/AE work I am asked why I do not state, if I believe the testimony of some percipients, my belief on where "they" come from. We have the testimony of witnesses who, in some cases, have been hounded and subject to unsuccessful debunking attempts.  We have the physical and physiological as well as psychological effects on witnesses. People see objects with entities then they use the term "craft" which, logically, makes sense. I do occasionally use that term but normally I will use "object" out of choice.

Despite all of this, showing that something is happening, there is nothing showing or indicating where "they" come from.

Despite what I might theorise I cannot state a point of origin and the big problem is that if you start thinking "These could be coming from a parallel dimension" then you will start looking for evidence along those lines -subconscious or not. Ditto "They are extra-terrestrials". I see my job, unless I am privately theorising, as being to check and reassess cases and reports and as shown in my UFO books give a credibility rating: True. Fake. Insufficient.

There are unexpected twists as the work has led to unearthing trends and more and in UFO Contact? I noted the importance of "Ruth Syndrome" (my term) which has important implications not just for Ufology but also the paranormal, cryptozoology fields, etc.

I do not shout "Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis" or promote other theories.

Ann Druffel 1926-2020

 I have just been informed by the Centre for UFO Studies that Ann Druffel recently passed away.

Tempus fugit

UFO researcher and author Ann Druffel dates her interest in the UFO question from 1945 when, as a schoolgirl, she viewed a bright yellowish object, very high in clear blue skies over Long Beach, California. She and her mother, Aileen Walsh McElroy, watched the object as it slowly traveled westerly. After about an hour and one-half, having traveled about 30 degrees from the NNE to the NNW, it then released 15-20 smaller shiny objects, which took varying paths out and away from the main object. Years later, it was determined that this sighting occurred at about the same time the first experimental atom bomb was exploded in New Mexico.

Interested in earth mysteries of all kinds, Druffel has researched various aspects of the UFO question and investigated reports of all kinds since 1957. She was one of the first investigators for NICAP, remaining with that organization from April 1957 to 1973. During the NICAP years she became acquainted with the renowned atmospheric physicist, Dr. James E. McDonald, and participated with him in several UFO cases during his six years of UFO research. After NICAP was destroyed by subversive agents from the FBI and CIA who had secretly penetrated into the higher realms of NICAP, Druffel joined the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) with which she is still actively associated as investigator, frequent contributor to their journals and other official capacities. She also joined the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and contributes articles on California sightings and other UFO subjects to IUR (International UFO Reporter). She was a U. S. consultant and regular contributor for the British research journal FLYING SAUCER REVIEW (FSR) through 2004.

She has authored six books and numerous articles for newsstand magazines on UFOs and other earth mysteries and has contributed 190+ articles and columns for top UFO journals in the field. One of her recent books, FIRESTORM!: DR. JAMES E. McDONALD's FIGHT FOR UFO SCIENCE, published in July 2003 by "Wild Flower Press/Granite Publications", re-introduced the phenomenal UFO research and amazing results of prestigious atmospheric physicist, James E. McDonald, to the world. The astounding gains McDonald made, during his public work in the UFO field between 1966 and 1971, today give us undeniable evidence that the scientifically-oriented approach is necessary to solve the UFO problem. It details how McDonald made great strides in convincing the Scientific Community at large that UFOs were a real phenomenon which was being neglected by Science and also how he apparently was at the verge of breaking through the government coverup. Tragically, McDonald's breakthroughs were unexpectedly cut short in 1971 when he died an apparent suicide, but FIRESTORM! relives his work and methods which, if put into effect today in the UFO field, could perhaps bring about a solution.

Her book, HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTIONS, published in August 1998 by Random House/Three Rivers Press is also available nationwide on Amazon.com, on other websites and on a POD basis from the publisher and in bookstores. It presents many true accounts, drawn from her present database of 120 "resisters", which demonstrate how nine simple mental and physical techniques can drive away these harassing creatures. If these creatures do, in fact, exist at any level of reality, perhaps they are "posing" as occupants from physical UFOs. Druffel has continued research into this field, as more techniques surface and as more is learned about personality traits of resisters as opposed to non-resisters. The book was also written for all members of the American public who are interested in various aspects of the UFO question but who are tired of hearing that the human race is at the mercy of aliens. In general, as regards UFOs, Druffel hypothesizes that the so-called "UFO phenomenon" is actually two separate phenomena. Like James McDonald, she favors the extraterrestrial hypothesis to explain UFOs seen from a distance, in which no contact or only minimal contact occurs between the witnesses and craft/occupants. From the weight of evidence, she is convinced that reports by credible witnesses of seemingly metallic, physical aeroforms which are detected on radar, chased by jet pilots, and photographed by verifiably honest witnesses constitute a serious scientific question which has been neglected by the Scientific Establishment and that secrecy imposed on the subject by the US Government is unjust and illogical.

On the other hand, Druffel considers so-called abduction-scenarios to be separate phenomena from the possibly extraterrestrial UFOs. Since most abduction scenarios take place in altered states of consciousness she doubts the physical reality of so-called genetic manipulation, missing fetuses, alien-military cooperation and "alien implants" associated with abduction scenarios, due to the lack of solid scientific proof. The widespread knowledge, shared by most abduction researchers, that this phenomenon itself demonstrates deceptive components leads her to hypothesize that so called "abducting UFO aliens" are posing as actual UFO occupants from physical UFOs. Concurrent with this is the growing evidence that many abduction reports are caused, at least in part, by a combination of:

1. telepathic leakage during hypnosis between witnesses and hypnotist/researchers; and/or
2. psychological and emotional needs of the individuals concerned.

However, she accepts the possibility that many abduction scenarios may be real in some type of "altered reality", especially those reported by undeniably rational, honest, and productive individuals. She accepts the possibility that such witnesses may be interacting with interdimensional beings which delight in harassing, deceptive, and assaulting unsuspecting human beings, often in a sexual manner. The orders of creation described in Celtic accounts (known as Sidhe), in the Muslim KORAN (known as jinns), in various European sources (known as incubi), by numerous names in Native American tribal cultures and in similar accounts from numerous world cultures "paraphysical creatures" are reported to act in intrusive ways very similar to our present so-called alien abductors. These orders of creation are described in historical and philosophical works, as well as in folklore down through the millenia as (1) having the ability to shape-shift at will; (2) entering our Space-Time temporarily from their own space-time continuum(s); (3) sexually harassing their victims and performing other harmful mischief and (4) appearing in various forms and "clothing" consistent with their victims' own cultural backgrounds.

Beyond UFO Contact

  Up to page 153 of Beyond UFO Contact and yesterday and today I put a lot of work (and references) in the chapter on Harrison E Bailey (aka "Harrison E Bailey and the Flying Saucer Disease"). 18pp in total.

Should be ready before Christmas.

The Nores 2003 UFO Sighting

 The gentleman involved in this report has sadly passed away but even so the telephone number has been removed.

This shows how a preliminary report based on a telephone conversation was presented.

Appeal

 If anyone knows of interested people -in the UK- with an interest in feral cats or have had sightings of what look to be typical Scottish wild cat types please ask them to get in touch.

Thank you.

Ufology and Ufologits need to grow up and look at the real world once in a while.

 I think, before I let this blog go, I need to make my position clear on certain points especially since certain Ufologists keep telling outright lies (some of this may be due to mental instability on their part).

I do not believe that an extra terrestrial space craft crashed anywhere in Wales. Samples of material I had turned out to have mundane origins -as I noted in Some Things Strange & Sinister. Margaret Fry was fully aware of my explanation and I have the correspondence to prove this. Cover ups and a "not of this Earth" material claims were all her own and based on anything but fact.

I am an "MI5 stooge"/"Security Service plant". Again, pure fantasy. I hyave never been in any military ser4vice. I never held the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy nor of Captain or Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force and I was certainly not a Captain in the British Army -all to conduct a secret investigation into UFOs.

I have worked with people who have been in the military and other services just a I have worked with biologists, geographers, aeronautical engineers and astronomers. These are or were all private and unofficial.

I do not believe that either the United Kingdom or United States and certainly not Russia or China have ever had a captured/crashed extra terrestrial craft. What branches of intelligence services do and why is beside the matter. 

In my work on relic British wild cats the Royal Air Force were very helpful and communicative.  When it came to the case of the 'ghost lear jet' (Some Things Strange and Sinister) I receive above and beyond the standard response from the Ministry of Defence. 

When it comes to the subjecxt of UFOs all parties have been fairly straight on the matter and it is important to understand to constraints of the various riules and regulations at work. We have seen how a witness to a UFO sighting can have Ufologists barrage them with phone call, turn up on their doorstep or even get the press involved. Statring constantly that the MoD is using "the Official Secrets Act" to hide things is silly. The data protection act is quite binding -I know because I had to work within its constraints. 

Why is everyone surprised that, despite no defence implications, the intelligence services of various countries still maintain an interest and investigation capacity?  Defence and Intelligence agencies are there not to just prepare for any possible conflict to defend their respective countries.  Just because something (in this case not proven to be extra terrestrial) shows no hostility on a Monday does not mean that it will maintain that stance on Wednesday. "Remember Pearl Harbor!" is not just a war time slogan but has far deeper meaning and if you do not know that then study history.

Radar, satellite and many other means are used by the military-intelligence services to keep an eye on things and a snippet of information such as "The Russians are trying to find out what UFOs are" help in assessing things.  A great deal of equipment used is still unknown to the public (who probably do not care) as well as potential enemies.  Why won't anyone tell us what was discussed at defence oversight meetings? You have to be dense not to know the answer to that.

From the very outset of my own work in the 1970s, when everyone was paranoid and discussing how the MoD wanted to get at their reports, I made it very clear in public and elsewhere that what they needed to do was forward copies of reports to the MoD. I once shocked a UFO conference in the 1970 by announcing that "My work may be private but why would the MoD spy on me when all they have to do is ask for any data they were interested in?" What were Ufologists doing with that data other than putting it in newsletters? 

The Defence and Intelligence communities are not youyr enemies. They may use UFOs a a cover for aircraft or drone testing but that is to be expected.

Personally, I am very happy to see official interest in the conbtinued study of UFOs and my guess is that they know about as much as Ufologists -though some technical data/analysis would be beyond civil;ian groups.

There. I never believed that USAF or US Navy interest in UFOs had stopped (it was well known that it had never stopped) and no doubt in 10 years someone will reveal (again) that it is still ongoing.

Ufology and Ufologits need to grow up and look at the real world once in a while.

let them know!

 Before the blog closes....

The print on demand company are rumoured to be thinking of a book price hike as their printer wants more money. This could mean £5-10 ($5-11) on each book. I'm told this should take place in December but does not include The Red Paper.

So if you know someone who wants to get those UFO or mystery books while they are still at a low price -let them know!

Sunday -bye-bye blog

 I did write that November was the crunch point for this blog.  338, 042 views and I've made 1,237 posts and...nothing. Not a jot.

That shows there to be no real interest in the blog or ele there would not be just silence and no forwarding of reports or items.

So, Sunday -bye-bye blog and you'll need to visit the Face Book group or buy the books.

The UFO Factor

Anyone Can Write A Book...But Do Those Books Count?

 In this day and age, so long as you are semi-literate, it is easy enough to write a book. Cut/copy and paste and alter the odd sentence and then throw a few over used images in. 

There is a reason why I, specialising for over 40 years in reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Alien Entity cases no longer buy new books on the subject. They are all the ame and add nothing new new just the ame old "Grey abduction agenda"...or Reptile abduction agenda...or Tall Whites abduction agenda...I lost count with David Jacobs last book -is another race in charge now?

Re-churning the Betty and Barney Hill case or the Kelly-Hopkinsville case or even the Flatwoods incident (which ha been re-written and rebooted so much I hardly recognise it). Two of those cases are from the 1950s and the Hills report is from 1961. Apparently the only report after that was the 1973 Pascagoula event and Travis Walton abduction.

Everything else is ignored because there wa either no big press interest or 'investigators' could not be bothered out of sheer laziness or racism.  Oh, of course, incidents outside of the United States are of no interest.

And so we get stale old report or people adding twists and lie to old cases and even ignoring specific details -important detail.

For me, if I am producing a book then writing is only part of the work. So many names of faceless people in cases and I like to see what these people look like. It shows a human being who underwent an alleged UFO event or was involved in some other report of the strange. I also like to include maps that give readers some idea of the location involved. 

A photograph taken over Alaska purporting to show the city of Bristol (the city I live in) is reported by Forteans and other "knowledgable" persons as having been "lost over 100 years ago".  I search archives and find the source -and the, uh, 'lost photograph.

A drawing of an alleged wild canid given to London Zoological Gardens was 'lost' -I found it and since then it has been used by others without stating who found it.

I have many files and they have copies of pages and images from other 'lost' sources. To me these images or documents are not lost it is just a case that "scribblers" find it easier to churn out the same old stale lines than do any actual research -it is not just in this field of interest either.

Prof. David Bellamy described The Red Paper as "explosive research".

I have a reputation for finding things and that comes from investigation and research. For instance; the Forest of Mouliere.

In Flying Saucer Review vol. 16 no. 4, July/August 1970, is an article titled Eerie Night at the Chateau Des Martins. Written by Jean-Claude Baillon of Cercle d'Information des Phenomenes Insolites (CIESPI) it concerned a night-time incidents that, as far a I am aware, was never adequately concluded (see Mysterious `and Strange Beasts).  Quite by accident Baillon came across a newspaper item on an old legend "The Monster of the Forest of Mouliere". The story is quoted but for me this was a mystery attached to another mystery.

As far as I could find out this FSR article was the only instance of the Mouliere story being printed in English.  I was told that the "legend" was of no interest to UFO groups or others interested in mysteries -it was a local legend.

Well, it interested me. It took a week or so but I managed to get copies of the pages citing this mystery from the actual original source. I even managed to get a map that was useful and even a photograph of La Comtessa Dash taken later in her life.

And all of this then gets tidied up and presented in the book. But even then I still check regularly to see whether anything new can be found but to date -nothing.

The Beast of Faudiere and its exploits were mentioned in a letter in 1800, Tweny years on I still dig around.

And the most important thing is that each of my books is fully referenced so anyone can continue the research if they want to. No quote from this book or that book and no reference to the original source: it is all there.

Foxes and the 2000 Attempted Survey

 

In 2000 I sent out a letter to fox watch groups as well as the various British Naturalist Asociation (BNA) to try to get cooperation on the Fox and Hybrid Study Project.

I followed up with a second letter.

Emails.

With the BNA member groups I got in contact by phone -apparently they did not do that type of field work...in fact, as I noted to the Secretary of the BNA, they were only interested in talking about butterflie and pretty birdies.

On 27th July, 2001 I noted on the folder: "No response from any fox study groups" and that was it.

A pity since I had been getting reports of various foxes, including Acrtic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) from people around the country -I often ended talking on the phone with people about foxes more than 'big cats' on some days!

The following is the initial letter and questionaire I sent out in 2000 and it is not that stressful to complete but I suspect a few of the groups were more social gatherings than anything else.

Would have been nice to see what data we could have come up with.
