British Ufology Kept Pushing and...Someone pushed back

 Thinking about why the "false beards and we don't need no warrant card" brigade got involved in messing up Ufology in the UK.

If you were not there in the 1970s and 1980s this may be news for you.

At a Trowbridge UFO Conference in the 1970s we had Rex Dutta ("Fish tanks Ltd) showing official leaked UFO documents -dates, names, sources -and all completely faked. VERY amateurish also. Got a bit of publicity out of it and, of course, Ufologists pestered HMG over them as well as MPs.

There were claims that letters between Ufologists were being opened. Intercepted by "the security services". Even in the 1970s if an agency wanted to read what was in a letter it did not have to open letters. If it did you would not even know that they had. Re-sealing with sellotape would be the most clumsy and unprofessional thing ever. I was asked by several Ufologists why their letters were intercepted (rumour at that time spread by Ufologists was that I had "connections").

I talked to each one of them and then I did what no one else had bothered doing. I looked at who had sent the letters in question (some allegedly having material missing -removed- from them). Two names cropped up and they were at the conference. I took them to one side and told them that I hoped whoever was behind this would stop as I would otherwise have to raise the matter with "Royal Mail Security" who could track and take finger prints from the envelopes I was given and the tape would reveal a lot more. I said I'd wait a week and see i8f it continued. It didn't.

Then we had Merseyside UFO Investigation Group on Aerial Phenomena (MIGAP) who created a great deal of a fuss and made claims of cover ups and even walked into a police station accusing the police and others of taking part in a cover up. UFO? No, a low flying RAF jet at night. MPs started asking questions and the press became a nuisance and listening to the tape of the police conversation I was surprised at how calm the officers had remained. Big stink that resulted in...nothing.

Some people in UFO groups then started going from silly to a point that I could not believe. They snuck around military airfields and bases sneaking photographs not just of aircraft but military personnel and civilian workers. This at the height of the Cold War and IRA high alert notifications. They photocopied photos and passed them around and there were a number cautioned by the police.

More faked 'official' documents.

More pestering Members of Parliament, the MoD and other bodies.

Then we had Eric Morris who continued faking information and documents up to a year before his death. He threatened witnesses (mainly women of advanced age such as Joan Amos) and told anyone within ear-shot or letter writing about his Royal Navy Intelligence work and how he was paid to "get at" certain Ufologists.

It was an out of control situation and one that, in the United States, would have been dealt with quickly. If you push, push and keep pushing and cause problems then eventually someone is going to ask "These people are telling all of these lies -why isn't someone doing something about this?" Military airfields and bases with nuclear weapons; someone decided enough was enough.

Certain Ufologists, prominent ones, were "helpful". Faking UFO reports and when being caught out not declaring which reports were faked and WHY. This began from the 1980s on and still goes on to an extent. It's why reports from the UK any time after 1979 are considered by me as not worth noting unless the witnesses can be contacted and spoken to. Flying Saucer Review gave a lot of these Ufologists a platform to work on -FSR itself was tainted by fakery and eventually fringe/crank theorising but had a world wide readership.

There are so many questions about the sudden finding of the Calvine UFO photo and the stories (there are three) behind it. And why at this very moment with all that is going on with the counter intelligence led "UAP" dialogue? The ex RAF man kept a photo in the hope someone might be interested one day. Bovine excrement. Far too convenient and enough variations on the story behind the photo.

Has anyone contacted any of the U. S. journalists specialising in Area 51 or secret aircraft development to see what they think? If not then we take a dodgy story and photo and jump up and down shouting "It's real! It's real!" but "real" what? Alien spacecraft or Earth technology?

I believe the Ministry of Defence has clean hands on this matter. If the top people in Defence were not seeing these photos then who saw them (question their account) and also ask why one ex journalist noted that the truth about the Calvine incident "lay with the Daily record" -which, unlike any other newspaper at the time, did not make copies for themselves or PUBLISH the photos.

Maybe I am getting paranoid after four decades because it is messing up my sense of smell and I am sure there is a dead rat somewhere.

But Ufology and media is praising the find of "the best (no) UFO photo ever".

Ignore me. I don't believe Luis Elizondo either and look where that got me on social media!

75 Years on -where are we with UFOs?

 

Getting away from the UFO crackpots and frauds we can say that some UFO reports are natural phenomena while others are misidentifications and they (excluding all "bright light" UFOs) are identified and thrown aside and that leads us with what appear to be solid, constructed craft which WE do not have. 

If Russia, China or the US had these in the 1950s the world would be totally different now.

 We can dismiss the "Greys" (Hopkins, Jacobs and, after looking at things again, to an extent even Mack) because prior to Hopkins we had short, large headed entities but NO GREYS (though Ufologists have started changing those reports). What Hopkins, but especially Jacobs, has written is pure nonsense and both are discredited. 

We know certain stimuli can create a seemingly 100% physically real encounter for some people. Unless there is secondary, independent witness testimony then single witness events are excluded (but studied). That leaves us with incidents involving two or more percipients and if those have corroborating independent witnesses then you have a pretty solid case.

 Abductions are very rare (I could write books on that...oh, I have...four!) and if those inside these seemingly constructed craft do not look wholly human and state that they are from another planet then they must be. 

The encounters and physiological/psychological effects are genuine. 

The radiation contamination are real. 

Signs that something large landed are real. 

Now in a criminal case that is almost 100% circumstantial/ anecdotal evidence. Does it give us 100% irrefutable evidence of aliens visiting? 

No. 

An abductee really needs to steal something or be involved in something Jacobs, Mack and Hopkins agreed to take part in -the Damocles Project -which might give results. 

For every Adamski fraud or Cynthia Appleton there are cases presenting more evidence. Unfortunately my getting the chance to be involved in an encounter seem to be getting shorter but all we can do is gather the data.
