The CE3K/AE files began as summaries in my note books back in 1974. By 1975 I realised that the only way to make sense out of what I was reading was to do what any scientific researcher does: gather reports to create a data base from which to work. Initially the report summaries were kept in cardboard folders but as the number expanded everything was moved into document folders and when they became too small everything was moved to Lever Arch Files.
In the case of the United States the over bulging file has now become two files -1900-1969 and 1970-
Each of the note tabs indicates a report.
For many, looking inside the files might be a disappointment -not that anyone else has viewed these files in 30 years or more other than myself! We start with the still accepted (by ufologist bunkomen) as factual Kansas cow-napping. Interestingly, this case only appear after cattle-mutilations became a "UFO thing",
We then have the "Flatwoods Monster" case and I have to state here and now that the only report, based on immediate investigations, I accept is that of Ivan T Sanderson. Many claimed to have "been there" but each gives a varying account and as is traditional in the United States, the case has since escalated into a full blown money making fantasy with nothing to do with the original report. Yes, small towns need to survive and bring in money these days but what 'researchers' have done is unforgivable and does nothing but make the incident a joke and good fodder for debunkers.
Of course the Kelly case has had similar treatment but luckily there were people who were seriously interested and looked into the report at the time.
An extreme rarity. A note showing that a report has been transferred to the High Strangeness File. That only happens when I try to actually logically debunk a report that has passed every check yet still seems genuine. "It was owls!" just does not work!
This is what you will find a few thousand pages of in all the files -typed up notes from books, magazines etc. In the image above you will see the initial scribbled hand notes. Every file has to start somewhere!
And Skinwalker Ranch was not the first by a long measure to claim UFO visits and phenomena
Ann B Druffel' work on Dapple Gray Lane is a classic case study -as was her work on alleged missing foetus cases.
Below is one of the initial report summaries written by hand in the mid 1970s. At a suggestion an attempt was made to use a code to identify an object shape (if any) and encounter category -this one was G5 and I have no idea after 40 years what that meant. I threw the system out as unworkable and just opted for CE3K or AE.
If I removed each report tab for a case that was never investigated by ufologists there would probably only be 20-25 case reports left. Many were accepted and repeated (still are) ad nauseum by UFO hacks based on a single newspaper clipping or very brief summary. In some cases even the initial 'investigators' did this. Not evidence.
Where a percipient actually asked to try regression hypnosis they were often told "cannot afford it!"
Below -camera is on its way out but this shows hand notes -brief- and those notes contain ALL the info there ios on a report.
The 1975 Stonehenge, NY case. Much of Hopkins' later abduction work has been cast into doubt and the only reason this is still an open file is because of the name, work and reputation of Ted Bloecher. Chunky file entry.
Official UFO and UFO Magazine in the 1970s came up with a lot of reports that were pure sensationalist tabloid style. Some I found that the original investigator did not exist. Nor did the location they were supposed to live in. One report from India was looked at for me by Jal N D Chata and even the local police helped out but could only report that no American (the original source said to be a ufologist working in India) had ever lived in a non existent road given as his home location!
Other reports were sensationalised almost beyond recognition
Some entries such as the Liberty, Kentucky case below, carry heavy criticism of the investigators who showed little care for the percipients -Leo Sprinkle being the exception.
The Lee Parrish case was never properly investigated and it seems that the investigators may have scared off the percipient. Even this year I have had a Spanish ufologist asking the most ridiculous questions to debunk the report.
Oh look -another ranch with UFO activity, phenomena and contact -almost all to berepeated later at Skinwalker Ranch.
No UFO but an unexplainable entity sighted in 2017 in Pennsylvania. There are claims of other similar reports. Without talking to the main witness or others nothing can be concluded so interesting but not evidence even if the witness was a policeman.
Old reports are constantly added to so what began as notes 30 or 40 years ago tend to expand into pages now.
Yes, looking at page after page of text must seem pretty boring to most people. Those who live in the fantasy world of millions of people being abducted by aliens every year and a veritable legion of alien types would call all of this "cover stories" -created by the aliens or someone else.
But if you want facts then I have books!
