The Marley Woods sightings discussed by UFO field investigator Ted Phillips -Some Comments People Will Not Like


Thomas M. Ferrario worked with Ted Phillips especially at Marley Woods and for years I tried to get access to Phillips' trace evidence and analyses. As I have related before when I did find the catalogue it included known hoaxes and information from Jacques Vallee that had been proven (through basic research) to be false.
Ted Philips discussing Marley Woods at a UFO event. After twenty years it was nothing but the same old stories with a couple of small additions.

However, I believed that there must be a better catalogue of information as well as analysis reports since Philips said there were. His whole reputation was built on his scientific research.  Also, after over two decades the work at Marley Woods that Philips pushed and gave great accounts of phenomena there...not a thing published in the way of evidence other than a fuzzy light video. 
While Philips was alive I sent several emails as well as a letter to try to find out when and what evidence would be released since, after all, it would need to be peer reviewed (as Philips said he wanted).
Not a single word in response. Instead Philips seemed to become obsessed with a story about a huge alien space craft embedded in a mountain.  I asked others who knew Philips and were on good terms with him about his evidence and Marley Woods -they all said the same thing: they trusted him and he'd release "stuff" when it was time.  Marley Woods was just one in a long line of Skinwalker Ranch style locations.
So I thought I would contact Ferrario and avoid mentioning Marley (after 20 odd years there I have not seen evidence of anything but some hair samples). So I messaged him on FB:
"Hi. 
"My name is Terry Hooper-Scharf and I am based in the UK. From 1977 -2007 I "Officially Unofficially" investigated UFOs Reports as Head of the Anomalous Observational Phenomena Bureau (AOP B) and from 1974 to date I have specialised in CE3K reports and run the CE3K/Alien Entity Project.
"I was hoping that you might be able to help me with a query. One thing I keep getting asked by more science orientated folk is why is there no physical evidence of UFOs. I have tried to look on the internet for any of the work carried out by Ted Phillips that lists evidence found and what tests results showed.
"To date I have failed. So can I ask if there is a data base of the evidence and test results I can access?
"I'm hoping you'll have the answer!
My thanks in advance.
Terry Hooper"

Nothing. So I waited and on the 21st September 2022 sent the message again.  Nothing. A reminder in January 2023 -nothing. In his 2022 Black Vault interview he seemed credible and straight forward but something was not right. Where was all the information and contact he promised with researchers?

Then I accidentally stumbled onto this video and ...Ferrario's credibility shot down to zero. None of this has been mentioned in his UFO podcast interviews and seems to be almost a secret that he kept from anyone but conspiracy and, in my opinion, almost cultish believers.


I guess we will never see any evidence of the promised evidence because Marley Woods was just another Skinwalker Ranch and Philips catalogue of physical trace cases appears to be non existent -after 30 years I am no longer chasing that fantasy.

Living Cavemen in Canada: Neanderthals in First Nations Tradition -Some Comments



One thing that needs to be noted is that the "primitives" and their actions basically mirrored those of the indigenous peoples. 

Cree, Sioux, Iroquois or whatever tribe they were constantly raiding and at war with each other. They scalped, tortured, mutilated those they captured or killed and women and children were enslaved or killed. 

Cannibalism was also practiced by some. 

 Therefore the accounts could be of other tribes because very little in those accounts suggests Neanderthal or unknown primitive men. In fact the stories of how indigenous warriors killed these primitives is atypical of what the primitives were said to do.

BTS RAW #15 - The UAP Hearing - What Has Happened Since

Avi Loeb: “This object came from another solar system!”

WHY Has the "UFO Whistle-Blower" Grusch Failed to Even Purse His Lips?

 With the persons sat behind those testifying one has to wonder what is going on. I highlight Grusch here who has made claims and said that his deposition was cleared by the Pentagon and given his five minutes at the hearing either clammed up or said nothing new -all his talk has been with the media and I am guessing this is just good publicity for "the documentary" mentioned by disgraced Australian journalist Coulthart previously.

Refusing to speak to AARO speaks volumes. 

The UFO congressional hearing was 'insulting' to US employees, a top Pentagon official says

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/us/the-ufo-congressional-hearing-was-insulting-to-us-employees-a-top-pentagon-official-says/ar-AA1evtId?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=14bfc1ae226d4c1ea12e1b9ac4f6c6a7&ei=10


WASHINGTON (AP) — A top Pentagon official has attacked this week's widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims “insulting” to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation.

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick's letter, published on his personal LinkedIn page and circulated Friday across social media, criticizes much of the testimony from a retired Air Force intelligence officer that energized believers in extraterrestrial life and produced headlines around the world.

Retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch testified Wednesday that the U.S. has concealed what he called a “multi-decade” program to collect and reverse-engineer “UAPs,” or unidentified aerial phenomena, the official government term for UFOs.

Part of what the U.S. has recovered, Grusch testified, were non-human “biologics," which he said he had not seen but had learned about from “people with direct knowledge of the program."

A career intelligence officer, Kirkpatrick was named a year ago to lead the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, which was intended to centralize investigations into UAPs. The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies have been pushed by Congress in recent years to better investigate reports of devices flying at unusual speeds or trajectories as a national security concern.

Kirkpatrick wrote the letter Thursday and the Defense Department confirmed Friday that he posted it in a personal capacity. Kirkpatrick declined to comment on the letter Friday.

He writes in part, “I cannot let yesterday’s hearing pass without sharing how insulting it was to the officers of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community who chose to join AARO, many with not unreasonable anxieties about the career risks this would entail.”

“They are truth-seekers, as am I,” Kirkpatrick said. “But you certainly would not get that impression from yesterday’s hearing.”

In a separate statement, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough denied other allegations made by Grusch before a House Oversight subcommittee.

The Pentagon “has no information that any individual has been harmed or killed as a result of providing information” about UFO objects, Gough said. Nor has the Pentagon discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

Kirkpatrick wrote, “AARO has yet to find any credible evidence to support the allegations of any reverse engineering program for non-human technology.”

He had briefed reporters in December that the Pentagon was investigating “several hundreds” of new reports following a push to have pilots and others come forward with any sightings.

Kirkpatrick wrote in his letter that allegations of “retaliation, to include physical assault and hints of murder, are extraordinarily serious, which is why law enforcement is a critical member of the AARO team, specifically to address and take swift action should anyone come forward with such claims."

“Yet, contrary to assertions made in the hearing, the central source of those allegations has refused to speak with AARO,” Kirkpatrick said. He did not explicitly name Grusch, who alleged he faced retaliation and declined to answer when a congressman asked him if anyone had been murdered to hide information about UFOs.

UAP Hearing After Thoughts... Live Q&A

How Much Cooperation Do I Get On The CE3K/AE Archives?

 https://aeceiiikp.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-much-cooperation-do-i-get-on.html

The author at RAF Manston c 1977

I was asked by someone how much cooperation I was getting on the Close Encounters of the Third Kind/Alien Entity archives. Well, that is quite a simple question to answer.

None

I have been investigating and studying CE3Ks and Alien Entity reports since 1974 and at that time these cases were frowned up, ridiculed or simply ignored with reports being destroyed. From 1974 until the year I simply could no longer give a damn in (1984) I was also subject to insults such as "he's a UFOnut", "believing that stuff you must be stupid" and sometimes worse. 

Even when I gave talks on the subject the dopy grins were still there - though percipients in encounters approached me later so that was a plus! I met and talked with alleged contactees such as Ernie Sears as well as people who believed that they were subjects of long term alien abductions. I examined first hand reddened skin on just one side of the percipients body as well as getting to know them which is really essential if you want to evaluate their claims. 

I was even pushed forward by a group of police officers in one incident when 'aliens' were observed in an allotment at 0300hrs. "We'll deal with the burglars but this is your job, Quatermass!" was the response when I asked whether anyone  was coming with me. "Quatermass" was a nick name that some bright spark in the police gave me and it stuck (if you know who Professor Bernard Quatermass is you'll see the joke). 

But in UFO circles in the UK it was all considered "nutty stuff" though there were some who were interested such as the late Norman Oliver and even Lionel Beer was willing to offer encouragement to pursue the matter. You either accepted fake contactees such as George Adamski and got accepted or looked at cases such as the Hills, Walton etc and that made you a tad stupid because Adamski had told everyone just who the space brothers were and where they were from.

There was also the rather distasteful side of Ufology where they had to have their titillation and spicy stories for their club magazine. Threatening to "out" abductees to the local papers was not unusual. In one case, that was probably a major incident in the 1970s, 30 members of a local UFO group turned up on the doorstep of a teenage female percipient demanding to talk to her.

However, Ufologists then began to send me reports and ask for advice on cases they had. The New Ufology, of course, understood that this was all psychological or (their favourite) some form of paranormal phenomenon. I have seen, and have copies of their "full investigative reports" and they are damning by their being just what the witness told them on a form to "I heard something fall in the kitchen which put me on edge. There seemed a definite paranormal angle to this". Can I just write that at my age I have come to learn that things always fall over in kitchens and there is no paranormal reason for it.

But I was still able to get these reports and the same with contacts in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Even if some did not believe the reports they forwarded them Then European groups decided that a version of "New Ufology" was the way to go. No matter how much trace or corroborating evidence/testimony there was it got put down to "all in the mind".  Again, these "scientific" investigators produced brief investigation reports and the most text came in the part where, at times, they were digging into pretty obscure things and theories to "explain it all away"

Then came Budd Hopkins whose every word went unchallenged. I had tapes of his talks sent to me by a friend in Texas (Travis Whitehurst) and it seemed to be standard alleged UFO abduction cases but then veered away into unfounded claims. Thanks to TV shows the "Greys alien abduction phenomena" became a craze and as with most other crazes it took a while for it to spread around the world as the TV shows told us all about The Greys. From the 1980s on, despite being shown to not quite be telling the truth and fabricating/stacking the evidence cards Hopkins was a super star and a big draw for UFO conferences and TV -others wanted a piece of the action and we got Jacobs, Carpenter and others all feeding the fantasy.

In the meantime the old style UFO landings and CE3Ks were ignored. Witnesses were told that they were abducted. But they remembered every second of the brief encounter -did not matter "You were abducted -possibly from childhood!"  MUFON made good money out of all of this and it's research, if you can call it that, is based on "You were abducted since childhood"

The 1960s Kathy Reeves case could be a high strangeness case but details are often misquoted and added to but it was NEVER investigated. Why? The local UFO investigator couldn't be bothered. No one has ever bothered. Reeves would be in her 70s(?) now and unless she can be traced and spoken to it is a case (one of many) lost because Ufologists could not be bothered. I tried MUFON (again) and no interest. I sent a copy of the file to Barry Greenwood hoping he might know investigators who would be interested. Despite three emails since that time he has not responded. I even suggested the case might interest Erica Lukes... nothing. 

In 1973 the Pascagoula abduction report broke. Two white men allegedly abducted in Mississippi. No one could rush to investigate the case any quicker because this was a big story. In Eupora, Mississippi, same time frame, a group of people in a care saw one UFO land on an interstate road and an entity emerge briefly while a second UFO hovered nearby. A driver in a car coming from the opposite direction braked and did a U turn and drove off. That counts as a major UFO incident. The case was never investigated despite top Ufologists such as Ted Bloecher repeatedly asking local investigators to get involved.Why was it not investigated? The main known witnesses were "black".

Same time frame a man has his car stopped by a UFO and opens fire with a gun when entity(ies) are seen. Never investigated -the percipient was "black". Every and any light in the sky at the time was investigated because witnesses were "white". Damning American Ufology. The witnesses from Eupora etc should be in their 70s by now. It looks like another lost major case. Again, MUFON refused outright to investigate as a "cold case" and even got personally insulting! Greenwood, Lukes and all of the usual suspects were asked if they knew Mississippi based investigators who might be interested or might mention the reports.

Nothing.

In the UK we have the situation where one amateur (he is by no means a real investigator) takes a friend hypnotherapist with him to visit witnesses and put them under hypnosis -that in itself is totally unethical and unprofessional. He claimed in an email to myself that he had "hundreds" of abduction reports each month,

A problem is that Ufology is a mess. You Tube and trashy books full of lies are THE source for many and I can assure you that they are not training videos -the "fan club" attire of all black combat gear adopted by 'Ufologists' and 'ghost hunters' always has me laughing and shows that it is just another fad.

The interest in CE3K/AE reports is simply to pass the time or to steal original material and put it on another blog as "my own work".

So I have all the data and there are cases that need investigating and anything new discovered has been by me because no one is interested. IU am sure that there are still UFO landing reports/CE3Ks but why bother when the Fathers of Deception such as Vallee and Co. are telling us more lies are in fact "the truth" about non-existent flying saucer crashes? Go onto You Tube and you will find very limited, very inaccurate videos on CE3Ks/AEs and a lot from the United States appear to originate from one source and after a year of checking I would not believe it if that source told me "we live on the planet Earth".

No cooperation. Lost cases. That is the 'science' of Ufology in 2023.

Alien spaceship crashed straight into Mars?

Is there life on Mars? Well, according to new research, an alien crash landing there could explain puzzling new findings on the surface of the Red Planet.

It comes after Nasa’s Curiosity Rover captured images of spiked protrusions on the surface back in April.

The strange formations captured in the pictures seem to show a row of spikes and sharp angles emerging from rocks at the base of the Gale Crater, which is 154km long.

The odd discovery has put scientists on high alert and it marks one of the most peculiar things ever recorded on the surface of Mars.

Astrobiologist Dr Nathalie Cabrol, who is from the NASA Ames Research Centre and Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, even said that it’s the “most bizarre” rock she’s seen in 20 years of studying the planet.

The findings are so irregular, in fact, that experts cannot rule out the idea that they’re extraterrestrial in origin.

“A fragment from an extraterrestrial or terrestrial spacecraft cannot be discounted with absolute certainty” the authors of new research published in the Journal of Astrobiology stated.

The odd protrusions could be “sand spikes”, which form in certain sands as a result of strong earthquakes. Another theory posits that the formation could be debris from crashed spacecraft, and authors of the study have not ruled out that it could be the result of crafts launched by humans landing on the surface.

"Given that possibly 10 or more craft have crashed upon the surface, coupled with the jettison of equipment associated with landing the rovers, it is possible the spikes and its substrate are human-made and consist of debris that fell onto the surface of Gale Crater," the paper reads.

“Nevertheless, no debris field is evident and no evidence of any additional debris that may have originated on Earth.

“Given its small size and that there are no known human-made analogs and no logical explanation as to what purpose these spikes may serve, it does not seem likely these specimens are the remnants of craft or equipment that fell into Gale Crater. One can only speculate about extraterrestrial origin."

However, speaking to The Telegraph, Prof Richard Armstrong, of Aston University, Birmingham said: “There is no way of proving for certain what the spikes are but the balance of the evidence would suggest ‘sand spikes’ resulting from seismic activity on Mars.”
