It is merely my conviction intuitively that the WWII through 1952 UFO phenomenon exhibited itself as an airborne technology rather coherently, and thereby "fit" the ETH far better than the Olde Religion Little People {which hypothesis, in my opinion, takes a great deal of unlikely sounding hand-waving to make it a more acceptable match for the 1943-1952 UFO manifestation]. Once I see 1943-1952 coherently with the ETH, the slow evolution of the UFO phenomenon from there towards greater strangeness makes me feel the ETH more likely as the major hypothesis even there.

We have to go to the real original sources. That is where the facts are if any. The resources will tell us if we have something competently investigated in our hands [at least once we mount up a great pile of them---Hynek was correct--it's the cumulation of reports which makes the difference].<br /><br /> The "modern" quick-&-easy McDonald's-style internet posts and videos will never advance the field one nanometer---NO DISCIPLINED RESEARCH. I'm hoping to give everybody a little of the better days when a few UFOlogical giants walked the Earth. I can't really do that. It would be great to sit down regularly with all of you and sift through the files and the old journals and discover these realities together.<br /><br /> The second way of actually learning something solid is, of course, to go out into the field and interview witnesses oneself. If any of you do that, please let the rest of us know, and write it up in disciplined detail "the old-fashioned way".The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-86130425739965133202011-02-21T06:13:55.880-08:002011-02-21T06:13:55.880-08:00Gosh, I have to say that reading your posts brings...Gosh, I have to say that reading your posts brings back the excitement and almost-delirium state of befuddlement I had in originally reading the details of many of these cases (again, unlike the stream of typical net postings of videos). And in a way they make less sense now than then.<br /> As another poster wrote I also very much appreciate your commentary--and post commentary-- and don't find them long-winded at all.Roberthttp://www.pd.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-90581804783381555242011-02-20T14:27:18.657-08:002011-02-20T14:27:18.657-08:00Michalak case seems very strong to me despite bein...Michalak case seems very strong to me despite being single-witness. His sequelae were extensive, well-tested, and very strange. The RCMP were brought in early, and you do not mess with them lightly---such is a crime. Michalak has remained consistent with the details of his story and did not "profit" by it. There are all sorts of reasons to read his tale as smoothly harmonious with the truth. Plus, a superb later Canadian UFOlogist, Chris Rutkowski, revisited everything and found it credible. <br /><br />Therefore I believe that the incident happened much as Michalak said it did. If so, it indicates some things of interest: a]. some UFOs are VERY technological in appearance and VERY physically present in our SpaceTime; b]. The technology can hide itself from visual detection if it wishes [this refers to the near-by watchtower observers not seeing it take-off and fly away]. This stealthiness may or may not have been only in a chosen direction; c]. the UFO agenda probably is not perfectly exercised by these guys, as even if this was one of their infamous localized displays, there was no reason to harm the witness. This seems like a blunder. If not, it seems like "they" weren't even aware of Michalak, another way of saying they're not perfect.<br /><br />As to Cash/Landrum: I will say something controversial about that much later in this series.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-59294549863618330742011-02-20T08:55:18.805-08:002011-02-20T08:55:18.805-08:00"I like having some paths to walk which lead ..."I like having some paths to walk which lead to destinations not already completely known." <br /><br />Nicely "spoken", Professor.

I think that this is because the "ET" part of this has shown no evidence of doing any serious damage to our lives/cultural progress despite having 60+ years [at least] to do so. Therefore it/they are a fascinating but non-urgent mystery. <br /><br />The "parallel reality" or "folkloric entity" part of this have several thousand years to have badly meddled with us and have not done so---in that case I suspect that "they" are under some limitations in their behavior. So they too become a fascinating but non-urgent mystery. This, thankfully, relieves me of anything except the need to accept living with incompletely answered questions---which when I contemplate that, is actually a pretty nice thing in most ways. I like having some paths to walk which lead to destinations not already completely known.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-71243804445799074572011-02-20T02:54:21.097-08:002011-02-20T02:54:21.097-08:00Your series of articles has been very interesting ...Your series of articles has been very interesting reading. Some of the cases have caused me to look for more information which, inevitably, led down other avenues.

One might well ask if they are not looking at one another more than they are looking at us."<br /><br />From a speculative viewpoint, I like this idea and will likely be chewing on it all day. Who or whatever is controlling the UFO enigma/experience/phenomena always manages to include a built-in flaw. It's as if the element of doubt is part of the fabric. At times I admire this feature and other times it's got me reaching for a stiff drink or fresh air.Kandinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598864214791609926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-44053352871335701522011-02-19T06:25:16.739-08:002011-02-19T06:25:16.739-08:00P.S. the category three is a legitimately separate...P.S. the category three is a legitimately separate category in my mind because of the nature of much of it as "outliers" to the core UFO case files. They indeed seem like the Trickster effect in operation. But at the same time, I don't believe that there is reason to ascribe the bulk UFO phenomenon to the Tricksters, as all our past experience with "them" indicates "spontaneous one-off" displays/manifestations, rather than decades-long "agendas" of any sort. Tricksters don't do long-term or coordinated activities. They are Hit-&-Run. I believe that both ET and whoever the Tricksters are have their paws in this, but are very different "critters" from different home towns. One might well ask if they are not looking at one another more than they are looking at us.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-83007462114185163462011-02-19T06:17:50.157-08:002011-02-19T06:17:50.157-08:00I tend to view the pile of experiences which end u...I tend to view the pile of experiences which end up in UFOlogists' files in three categories: Extraterrestrial Technology as a primary working hypothesis, ET-with-deliberate-misdirection as a primary hypothesis, and non-UFO events which are imitative of UFO phenomena, probably deliberately so. To attempt to get some pattern-of-understanding out of the second and third piles is "fun" but ultimately [probably] a fool's errand. However there appear to be a large number of "well-behaved" category one cases in which at least SOME understanding of what this is remains hopeful. <br /><br />Category one would involve "Keyhoe-ian" style cases [or USAF-style, if you wish]. They seem to demonstrate the physical reality and "this-worldliness" of the phenomenon, and constitute the basis for the ETH. <br /><br />Category three cases involve "Vallee-an" style incidents [an example of which might be Rosa Dainelli in 1954 Italy] and constitute the basis for a parallel reality hypothesis with little hope of physical "proof" or "science".<br /><br />Category two cases are the ET-like close encounters which seem to have a deliberate variation of external appearances so as to defeat obvious pattern finding as to "craft" or "beams", colors, other aspects. <br /><br />What all three have in common is that they are the manifestations of intelligences who "ain't us". Since free-willing [non-deterministically-bound] intelligence is involved, of course we observers are vulnerable to pattern-destroying manipulations.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-55317243367327338512011-02-19T05:56:58.667-08:002011-02-19T05:56:58.667-08:00Hello, Prof.
The 'Trickster' element...Hello, Prof.<br /><br /> The 'Trickster' element in some of these cases drives me batty. The nature of the Trickster makes it impossible to nail down some 'reality parameters.' Do you know of any objective way to capture, categorize, or somehow quantify this puzzling aspect? If there is no way to account for it, I feel we are dealing with something so 'slippery' it may defy our abilities to understand it.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br /> richardrichardnoreply@blogger.com
