you've probably come across the 38 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,960 writings of john keel at the very least 39 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,479 probably you've heard of the mothman 40 00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:46,320 prophecies we've done episodes on john 41 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:48,079 keel in the past and i encourage you to 42 00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:50,079 look those up in the archives but we 43 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:52,840 haven't talked extensively about saga 44 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,240 magazine saga magazine was a men's 45 00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,320 magazine i think that was the sort of 46 00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:00,479 generic term and you can sort of think 47 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:03,439 of saga and other magazines like it in 48 00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:07,119 the 1960s and 1970s as sort of a 49 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:09,679 a halfway point between 50 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:13,120 the adventure pulps of the 1930s and 40s 51 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,560 and 50s 52 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:16,400 and 53 00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:25,440 it's i don't know playboy without the 54 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,879 nudity i don't know if that's a good way 55 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:28,480 to say it but they're definitely aimed 56 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,680 at a male audience um that is the the 57 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:34,400 target and a lot of 58 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:38,239 travel adventure exciting stories stereo 59 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,120 reviews car reviews movie reviews things 60 00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:44,319 like that and a surprising number of 61 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:47,599 articles about ufos and the paranormal 62 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,720 many of which were written by john keel 63 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:52,640 and this was as you might remember from 64 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,120 last time the magazine in which um in 65 00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,680 which otto binder wrote articles about 66 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,840 ted owens the pk man now keel 67 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,440 contributed a number of different types 68 00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:03,599 of articles to saga some of them were 69 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:06,000 very extensive some were regular columns 70 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:07,599 he had a regular column about sort of 71 00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:10,080 ancient astronaut ancient mysteries type 72 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,519 of topics and how they might have tied 73 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,959 into the ufos we're not going to look at 74 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:14,480 any of those because i don't like that 75 00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,080 stuff he also published previews or 76 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:20,319 excerpts from some of his books we're 77 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,000 not going to be covering those because 78 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,760 we've probably talked about the books or 79 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,440 will at some point 80 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,760 these articles weren't original research 81 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:29,760 but often they were a good synthesis of 82 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,480 available stories sort of concentrated 83 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,200 into categories of type of ufo encounter 84 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,519 or sightings and they were presented to 85 00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,159 a more mainstream audience and these 86 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,239 stories came from places like flying 87 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,879 saucer review the the british ufo 88 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:46,400 magazine or 89 00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,000 the books by coral lorenzen like the ufo 90 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,159 occupant books and things like that 91 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,159 they often reflect a certain viewpoint 92 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,400 and we'll see kiel's viewpoint sort of 93 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,080 come through in these articles from the 94 00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,319 late 1960s the four articles we're going 95 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:02,400 to be looking at first is the ufo 96 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:05,439 kidnappers second will be ufos agents of 97 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,400 terror 98 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:08,239 we'll be looking at strange messages 99 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:10,319 from the flying saucers and finally 100 00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,840 secret ufo bases across the u.s so we're 101 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,680 going to get started with the ufo 102 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:17,919 kidnappers which appeared in the 103 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:20,720 february 1967 104 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,840 issue of saga magazine kiel begins ufo 105 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,520 kidnappers with the story of william 106 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:27,360 carolus a real estate man from cape 107 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:30,160 coral florida real estate man is kiehl's 108 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,120 word he was driving along uh the tamiami 109 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,320 trail which is 110 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:37,520 a thing a a road that i've never seen 111 00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:39,280 referenced anywhere else 112 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,759 except the warren zevon song seminole 113 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:44,160 bingo so i'd stop 114 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:46,000 writing this episode and play seminole 115 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,919 bingo a few times i think i have five 116 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:50,560 different versions of that song which is 117 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,000 kind of excessive i do realize that so 118 00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:56,160 careless the real estate man was driving 119 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,600 along the tamiami trail in his 120 00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:59,840 convertible enjoying the spring air in 121 00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,400 may of 1967 122 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,639 suddenly he notices a star a strange 123 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,039 star ahead of him but the star is moving 124 00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:09,840 it's a glittering blob of blue green 125 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,160 light a hundred feet across 126 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,639 it's chasing him he's trying to outrun 127 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:16,800 it he's doing over a hundred miles an 128 00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,600 hour eventually hits 115 miles an hour 129 00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,680 drives to the police station makes a 130 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,759 report about what he'd seen the cop 131 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:26,639 there officer dampier said that curlers 132 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,600 did not appear overly tired nor had the 133 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,919 symptoms of drinking i think this man 134 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,919 was telling the truth he was right 135 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:35,280 scared 136 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:36,160 so 137 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:38,960 keel uses the story to illustrate that 138 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:41,840 there's a game that the ufos are playing 139 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:42,720 and 140 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,440 they chase planes they chase 141 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:47,840 people in cars they chase 142 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:49,280 boats 143 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,440 but what happens when they actually 144 00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,080 catch a driver 145 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,560 one of the problems keel explains is 146 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,720 that there is some reluctance to 147 00:06:03,510 --> 00:05:59,919 understand 148 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:03,520 what exactly is going on on the part of 149 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,160 the authorities 150 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:08,319 after 20 years of mystifying incidents 151 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,680 most of which have been casually 152 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,360 explained away by the united states air 153 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:13,199 force as hallucinations and vicious 154 00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,600 clouds of swamp gas some of the pieces 155 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,280 of this baffling puzzle are beginning to 156 00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:19,440 fit into place the unidentified flying 157 00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:21,280 objects are engaged in a bewildering 158 00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,960 series of research studies which make 159 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,319 the efforts of our leading science 160 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:26,240 fiction writers seem like mickey mouse 161 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:30,870 so we're getting into the theory that 162 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,479 whatever is happening is part of an 163 00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:35,280 experiment where mankind humanity is 164 00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,479 being tested or examined in some way 165 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,960 keel goes on to explain that in 1965 and 166 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:42,479 1966 167 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:44,960 there was quote a fantastic new phase in 168 00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,039 the worldwide activities of the ufos and 169 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,759 their elusive pilots end quote he 170 00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:51,520 explains that there were automobile 171 00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,319 chases on mass ufo landings occurring in 172 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,720 large scales in a dozen countries and 173 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:58,639 clouds of swamp gas landing on a highway 174 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,319 in south africa frightening to police 175 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,880 officers and setting fire to the tar on 176 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:05,039 the road the swamp gas reference is of 177 00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:05,840 course 178 00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,560 a bit tongue-in-cheek typical of the 179 00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:10,400 types of stories that keel is seeing 180 00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:13,919 increasingly during 65 and 66 is this 181 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:16,720 tale of two police officers 182 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,080 at 5am on the morning of april 17 1966 183 00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,080 two police officers in ravenna ohio did 184 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,240 a turnabout and pursued a flying saucer 185 00:07:28,629 --> 00:07:26,319 instead of being pursued by it it flew 186 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,639 low over highway 224 and at times during 187 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:31,120 the mile chase that covered two states 188 00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:32,479 it would hover and wait for the police 189 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,080 car to catch up with it before scooting 190 00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,400 off again another policeman william l 191 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:38,800 stevens jr of richmond virginia had the 192 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,520 same exasperating experience at 3 30 a.m 193 00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:44,400 on june 24 1966 when he sighted a 194 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:46,879 dirigible shaped object about 125 feet 195 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:49,599 long and went after it he sped up to 110 196 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:52,400 miles per hour but the thing got away 197 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:01,110 kiel shares some other stories including 198 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:03,280 a story of a man named 199 00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:07,520 telemacho xavier in brazil now this is a 200 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,120 little more sinister it's not just a 201 00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:12,319 chase it's what happens when the ufo 202 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:13,599 kidnappers 203 00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:17,039 allegedly catch up to you 204 00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:18,560 xavier disappeared on the night of 205 00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:22,160 september 16th 1962 near a remote jungle 206 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,919 village in northern brazil 207 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:25,680 shortly before he went into limbo 208 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:27,280 workmen on a rubber plantation in 209 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:30,080 barcelos amazonas reported seeing a huge 210 00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:32,080 silvery disk hovering over the paduri 211 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,399 river and spraying sparks the local 212 00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:36,479 police investigated and learned that 17 213 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:38,399 chickens six pigs and two cows had 214 00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,159 vanished from the village at the same 215 00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:43,039 time a few days later telemacho xavier 216 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,480 left a soccer match in the village of 217 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:46,959 viaconicero and started to walk home 218 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,120 alone along a dark jungle road he was 219 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:51,040 never seen again and a thorough search 220 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,480 of the region failed to turn up any 221 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,480 trace of him but one workman did come 222 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:56,560 forward with a very bizarre story he 223 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,160 said that he had seen a glowing 224 00:09:01,990 --> 00:09:00,160 round-shaped object giving off sparks 225 00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:02,000 come down in a clearing and that three 226 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,440 men had jumped out of it and grabbed a 227 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,519 person who was walking past the victim 228 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:07,200 put up a fight but his assailants 229 00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,640 managed to drag him into their craft 230 00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,080 which took off vertically and 231 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,839 disappeared at high speed 232 00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:13,360 investigation by the authorities 233 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,959 revealed signs of a struggle where the 234 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,040 worker said the fight had taken place at 235 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:19,600 the newspapers in rio it seems evident 236 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:22,160 beyond a doubt that mr telemacho xavier 237 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:29,829 so far in this article you should be 238 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:31,760 getting an idea of of the way some of 239 00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:34,000 these sort of extensive looks at a 240 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,000 particular aspect of the ufo phenomenon 241 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,399 would work as john keel contributed 242 00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:40,640 these to saga magazine you've got a 243 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,000 basic 244 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,800 framework in this case ufos chasing and 245 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:46,560 possibly kidnapping 246 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:49,600 witnesses and then to that framework he 247 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,920 adds a number of different types of 248 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:53,200 story 249 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,000 providing enough background detail on 250 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:57,920 various aspects of the ufo phenomenon 251 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,080 and history and personalities explaining 252 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,079 who donald kehoe is explaining what 253 00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:04,399 nycap is providing a great deal 254 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:07,279 of background information it really is a 255 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:08,480 a very 256 00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:11,839 well done style of article kiel then 257 00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:13,120 goes into 258 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:15,680 some depth on the betty and barney hill 259 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:19,680 case as well and we don't have time 260 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,519 really to go into that we should do an 261 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,120 episode on betty and barney hill i don't 262 00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:25,360 know it's one of those massive giant 263 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:27,519 cases that that sometimes 264 00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:30,640 intimidates me keel also gets in another 265 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,920 really good dig at the air force 266 00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:35,680 if you believe in swamp gas you should 267 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,519 be able to find an equally plausible 268 00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:39,279 explanation for these cases even though 269 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:40,959 they are backed by mounds of newspaper 270 00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,399 clippings and sworn affidavits of 271 00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:44,560 witnesses and carefully detailed police 272 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,519 records 273 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,279 the us air force doesn't believe in such 274 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:49,519 documentation in fact the air force 275 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,800 doesn't seem to believe in their own 276 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,800 records and they now have a great mass 277 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:54,560 of data on the disappearance of entire 278 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:55,850 planes and crews 279 00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,200 [Music] 280 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:02,000 i get that it's 1967 and the swamp gas 281 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:04,000 thing is still pretty much 282 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:06,000 there in the public consciousness or at 283 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:07,519 least the ufological public 284 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:09,920 consciousness but man the constant swamp 285 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,040 gas references in this article and maybe 286 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:15,120 maybe not maybe constant isn't the right 287 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:17,600 word but the continual swamp gas 288 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:19,920 references just sound like you're just 289 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:21,760 you're just beating that joke 290 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,440 into the ground so this article in the 291 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:25,519 ufo kidnappers does cover the story of 292 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:27,519 betty and barney hill's abduction it 293 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,079 also and this is the perfect place to 294 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:32,399 talk about this story uh for john keel 295 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,079 it talks about the antonio vias bois 296 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,240 case as well which we've covered on the 297 00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:37,920 show i think the episode where we looked 298 00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:41,839 at the ufo occupants book by coral 299 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:44,480 so it's a good article it goes into a 300 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:47,200 lot of depth a lot of detail it is 301 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:52,160 about 15 pages 12 15 pages of of 302 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,040 small 303 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,680 three column print not many photographs 304 00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:57,440 the photographs that are there are 305 00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,240 pretty spectacular actually and the art 306 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,399 uh if you've been on the saucer live 307 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:04,399 social media you've seen i've shared 308 00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,440 some of the art from some of these 309 00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:07,839 articles the flying saucer art in saga 310 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:10,399 magazine was always just 311 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:11,760 outstanding 312 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:15,200 next up in october 1967's issue of saga 313 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:17,920 magazine we have the mysterious men in 314 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,800 black ufo agents of terror and this is a 315 00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:24,399 lot of this is 316 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,200 um 317 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:27,600 things that you will later see expanded 318 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,839 upon in the mothman prophecies 319 00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,519 especially the well obviously especially 320 00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:33,279 the men in black versions of that but 321 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:35,839 there are some good stories here as well 322 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,240 sort of separate from that and some 323 00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:40,720 interesting speculation about what might 324 00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:41,440 be 325 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,880 keel starts off by saying uh there's a 326 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:48,959 story and it may sound like the plot of 327 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:51,120 the recent hit movie blow up which i've 328 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,120 never heard of but kiel alleges this 329 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,800 happened several months before that 330 00:12:59,110 --> 00:12:56,560 movie was released 331 00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:59,120 late in 1966 a professional photographer 332 00:13:02,069 --> 00:13:00,639 in california was out on a routine 333 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:02,079 assignment when he heard an eerie 334 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:04,160 whirring sound overhead he looked out of 335 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,839 his car and was stunned to see a huge 336 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,440 unearthly metallic disc hovering 337 00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,839 directly over him fortunately he was 338 00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:11,360 well equipped with excellent cameras and 339 00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:12,639 lenses and he was able to click his 340 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:14,720 shutter several times before the machine 341 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,560 shot straight up and vanished believing 342 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:18,399 that he might have some sensational and 343 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:20,639 highly sellable photographs he rushed 344 00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:22,240 back to his studio and dunked the film 345 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:24,160 into the developer the photos turned out 346 00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,920 even better than he had expected and the 347 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,680 photographer delightedly made several 348 00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:29,760 enlargements and hung them up to dry 349 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,279 feeling quite pleased with himself he 350 00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:33,440 left a studio for a few hours he did not 351 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,760 tell anyone about the ufo pictures no 352 00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:37,519 one knew that he had taken them but when 353 00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:39,199 he returned to his dark room later he 354 00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:40,720 discovered that someone had broken in 355 00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,880 and stolen all the prints and negatives 356 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,480 they did not touch any of his other 357 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:46,000 pictures nor did they attempt to steal 358 00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:48,000 any of his valuable equipment it was 359 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:49,760 obvious that whoever entered a studio 360 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:51,760 had been after only one thing 361 00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:57,990 this is another lengthy article 10 12 362 00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:00,880 pages or so and early on sort of taking 363 00:14:06,710 -->

military and civilian personnel and 418 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:05,519 particularly information officers and 419 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:07,440 ufo investigating officers who hear of 420 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,480 such reports 421 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:10,160 should immediately notify their local 422 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:11,680 osi offices 423 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:14,560 hewitt t wellis lieutenant general usaf 424 00:16:24,629 --> 00:16:21,829 another angle that keel takes in this 425 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,639 article is looking at the robertson 426 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:26,560 panel report if you remember from the 427 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:28,639 early 1950s i think we did an episode on 428 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:30,800 this it's in the archives the robertson 429 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,600 panel was a cia committee that looked at 430 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:35,519 the air force's handling of the ufo 431 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:38,320 question and came to some conclusions 432 00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:41,440 mostly that this could be a 433 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:44,639 problem for national defense if systems 434 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,519 got clogged with trying to identify ufo 435 00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:49,199 reports and that perhaps 436 00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:51,839 an eye should be kept on civilian ufo 437 00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:53,680 investigation organizations that the 438 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:55,519 media could be used to 439 00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:59,199 debunk or demystify the ufo the ufo 440 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:01,279 phenomenon the 441 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,439 report was made public in 1966 442 00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:06,720 so when 443 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:09,520 kiel talks about the robertson panel 444 00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:12,400 report here in this article in 1967 it's 445 00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:14,880 something that a lot of readers probably 446 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:16,959 didn't know about but 447 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,760 given the fact that there are kyo 448 00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:21,679 believes different people from different 449 00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,480 agencies involved in trying to 450 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,559 perpetuate the ufo cover-up and the 451 00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:29,039 intimidation of witnesses it's not 452 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,760 surprising that he would bring the cia 453 00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:33,600 into this and he 454 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:35,679 speculates about some possible 455 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,960 inter-agency rivalry fueling some of 456 00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:41,280 what is going on 457 00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:43,200 could it be however that the cia knew 458 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:44,640 more about ufos than they were 459 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,960 pretending and that the whole 1953 panel 460 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,720 affair was merely a ruse to keep the air 461 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,799 force from suspecting they gave the 462 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,480 project blue book personnel a chance to 463 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,080 present their case that the flying 464 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:55,919 saucers were extraterrestrial and then 465 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,280 they rejected the evidence as 466 00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:59,200 insufficient and literally ordered the 467 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,360 air force to debunk the subject suppress 468 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:03,360 the flow of future reports and clamp 469 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,520 down on civilian investigators captain 470 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:07,679 rupelt major fournette and the other 471 00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:09,679 early air force ufo buffs left the 472 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,520 service and were replaced by hard-headed 473 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:13,440 types who followed the new line without 474 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,029 he then goes into some of the pre-1947 475 00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:21,200 ufo related cases that happened during 476 00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:23,679 world war ii and and a bit before such 477 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:25,280 as the foo fighters and the ghost 478 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:28,240 rockets over scandinavia he talks about 479 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,919 general jimmy doolittle being sent to 480 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,440 sweden on a secret mission which was 481 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,600 never explained could it have had to do 482 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:35,440 with the ghost rockets foo fighters or 483 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,440 other ufo type things 484 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:39,280 what did officials know 485 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:43,679 before ufos became a thing 486 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:45,600 somebody knew a lot about flying saucers 487 00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:47,280 before the general public had even heard 488 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:49,280 of the mystery that somebody was ready 489 00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:51,840 to move when in 1947 the whole thing 490 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,350 as an example of how this foreknowledge 491 00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:00,000 of ufos would come in handy keel talks 492 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:02,080 about the case of the the sort of proto 493 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:03,840 men in black case of harold dahl and 494 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,000 fred chrisman and the maury island 495 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,320 incident which we've done an episode 496 00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:10,400 about so we won't go into 497 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:12,640 here now i gotta say that maury island 498 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:15,600 episode is one of our most popular for a 499 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:17,200 long time it was the most downloaded 500 00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:18,400 episode of the show so if you haven't 501 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:20,480 heard that go listen to it actually this 502 00:19:23,909 --> 00:19:22,400 this whole episode about john keel and 503 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:23,919 these magazine articles is a great 504 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,919 opportunity to go back and find some 505 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,919 stories in the archive that you might 506 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:30,080 have missed over the last five years of 507 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:31,440 this being 508 00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:34,240 in operation here at the saucer life 509 00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:37,520 he tells another story about 510 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,559 20 511 00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:40,880 people being hushed up 512 00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:42,960 and their livelihood threatened after 513 00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:46,799 seeing a very very impressive ufo 514 00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,600 in 1955 20 workmen were making repairs 515 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:50,960 on the outside of a large factory 516 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,480 building in southern new jersey when a 517 00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:54,240 gigantic circular craft silently 518 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,760 descended from the sky and hovered 519 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,240 almost at ground level above the 600 car 520 00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,559 parking lot the object was so big that 521 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:02,159 it covered the entire lot and the 522 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,679 workmen watched it for several minutes 523 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,760 hardly believing their eyes later as 524 00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,280 they all filed in to punch out on the 525 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:09,039 time clock a man in civilian clothes 526 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,120 herded them all into a meeting room we 527 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,880 want you all to sign an oath of secrecy 528 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,720 he told them grimly flourishing a sheaf 529 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,960 of papers promising not to tell about 530 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:18,640 what you saw today those of you who 531 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:20,080 don't want to sign needn't come into 532 00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:23,200 work tomorrow or ever again 533 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,559 everyone signed 534 00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:26,799 who was this man what was the purpose of 535 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,200 the secrecy oath one thing is obvious he 536 00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:31,120 had to know that the flying saucer was 537 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:33,280 going to appear that day these agents 538 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,799 must have also had the necessary 539 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:36,240 credentials to get them into the navy 540 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:37,919 dock and into the factory building which 541 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,600 was engaged in classified work for the 542 00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:41,679 navy they had to know what was going to 543 00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:43,679 happen in advance and they had to have a 544 00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:45,280 reason for suppressing the stories of 545 00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:52,070 that last portion there makes a very 546 00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:54,559 good point how do the men in black know 547 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:56,960 exactly how quickly to get to 548 00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:59,039 a witness what the witness saw what 549 00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:01,360 evidence they might have photographs or 550 00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:03,840 or material or something like that how 551 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:05,039 do they know 552 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,400 that quickly 553 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:08,880 one explanation could be that the craft 554 00:21:12,149 --> 00:21:09,600 are 555 00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,159 human in origin another explanation 556 00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:14,880 could be possibly that the 557 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:17,280 silence group the agents the men in 558 00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:18,480 black 559 00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:21,760 are not human are as extraterrestrial as 560 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,400 the craft might be keel returns to the 561 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,840 notion of air force officers 562 00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:28,240 confiscating photographs from civilians 563 00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:30,799 and talks about the air force's denial 564 00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:32,320 that they've ever done anything like 565 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,760 this but kiel knows differently 566 00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:37,440 i know for a fact that air force 567 00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:39,200 officers or men claiming to be have 568 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:41,280 seized remarkably detailed ufo pictures 569 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,520 taken by honest american citizens these 570 00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:45,200 people have shown me copies of photos 571 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:46,559 whose negatives have been brazenly 572 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:48,290 collected by air force officers 573 00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:52,080 [Music] 574 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:53,600 now it wasn't just the air force or the 575 00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:55,280 cia that was causing trouble there were 576 00:22:01,590 --> 00:21:58,159 also ufo investigators causing trouble 577 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:01,600 kiel tells sever has several examples of 578 00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:04,480 members of nycap making nuisances of 579 00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:06,640 themselves during 580 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:09,760 during some investigations 581 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:11,120

00:23:02,480 actually this is an interesting uh story 608 00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:05,919 about nycap making itself a nuisance 609 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:06,960 there 610 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:09,840 were stories i think brad steiger talked 611 00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:13,360 about it where people were harassing ufo 612 00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:15,120 witnesses saying that they were from 613

archive and i 651 00:24:52,669 --> 00:24:50,720 realized that our episode on the year of 652 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:52,679 the humanoids uh that 653 00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:55,679 1972-73 humanoid siding wave that 654 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:57,760 episode was actually relatively short 655 00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:00,320 which some of our episodes used to be so 656 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:02,880 i think we're going to go back to the 657 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:04,960 year of the humanoids and cover some 658 00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:07,440 interesting humanoid stories that we 659 00:25:11,430 -->

00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:01,440 out of the way i think before we return 683 00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:04,240 to john keel we need to talk about uh 684 00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:06,400 ted owens and pk man and some of the 685 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:08,240 feedback some of the 686 00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:10,640 massive amount of feedback we received 687 00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,360 after that episode over on the patreon 688 00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,440 elbardo says i have three a great 689 00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:16,799 episode i have three hopefully quick 690 00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:18,960 questions the polar shift bit reminds me 691 00:26:22,149 --> 00:26:20,640 of the seemingly apropos of nothing 692 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:22,159 section of barkers they knew too much 693 00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,440 about flying saucers where he talked 694 00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:25,520 about a pamphlet detailing a pole shift 695 00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:27,039 that would send the arctic ice sheets 696 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:28,880 flying do you have any idea where this 697 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:31,120 sort of mythos started i can't figure it 698 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:31,840 out 699 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:34,640 neither can i i um i i need to look at 700 00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:36,480 the pole shift thing because it does 701 00:26:41,029 --> 00:26:37,760 come up in 702 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:41,039 numerous areas and um yeah it 703 00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:43,360 it started somewhere anybody who has any 704 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:45,520 ideas about that speak up and we'll 705 00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:47,760 address it next week next i'm interested 706 00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:49,279 in reading pk man but i'm generally 707 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,880 skeptical of claims of professionals and 708 00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,640 sort of fringe sciences who need to 709 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:54,159 validate their ideas for their jobs to 710 00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:56,080 exist like for instance the first earth 711 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:59,120 battalion folks a reference to 712 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,640 they they knew 713 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,400 they knew too much about goats the men 714 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,559 who stare at goats is mishlov pulling 715 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:06,240 secondary sources local newspaper 716 00:27:09,350 --> 00:27:07,679 weather reports or whatever and 717 00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:09,360 corroborating these claims in any way 718 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,200 they're just so fantastical yeah there 719 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,720 is some good corroboration of those 720 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,320 claims and what's interesting about the 721 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:16,080 pk man book and i think the most 722 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:18,080 valuable thing about it is that that 723 00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:20,960 mishlov was personally involved in the 724 00:27:25,909 --> 00:27:24,080 case and a personal acquaintance friend 725 00:27:27,909 --> 00:27:25,919 might not be the the best word to 726 00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:27,919 describe their relationship but michelle 727 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:30,399 evan owens had a long-standing 728 00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:33,279 relationship of a couple decades and 729 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:36,159 that provides some insight into 730 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,360 owen's 731 00:27:40,389 --> 00:27:39,600 abilities um whatever they might have 732 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:40,399 been 733 00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:42,960 as well as as his personality i think 734 00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,840 that's some of the real value of the pk 735 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:47,760 man book and finally have you watched 736 00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:50,240 the x-files episode rain king it seems 737 00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:52,960 pretty loosely based on owens yes i do 738 00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:55,279 like the rain king episode and it does 739 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,320 kind of have that vibe also in the 740 00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:00,080 patreon chris says i think i'm obsessed 741 00:28:03,110 --> 00:28:01,440 with this guy now if you're going to 742 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:03,120 claim extraordinary insight be it from 743 00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:05,440 aliens god or q the cardinal rule is 744 00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:06,880 never to make specific testable 745 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:09,200 predictions owens seemingly did nothing 746 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:11,360 but make specific testable predictions 747 00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:13,120 that ended up coming true with baffling 748 00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:14,799 frequency i'm not about to say that 749 00:28:18,789 --> 00:28:16,960 owens was genuinely psychic i'm sorry 750 00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:18,799 the owens was actually psychic or in 751 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:20,720 contact with space intelligences but 752 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:22,480 he's much harder to dismiss out of hand 753 00:28:29,350 --> 00:28:25,600 than virtually any other contact date 754 00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:29,360 yes i agree it is very interesting it's 755 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,399 it's fascinating and um 756 00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:34,240 it's really good stuff 757 00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,919 uh some other questions um 758 00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:39,679 and comments and and we're not gonna get 759 00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:42,480 to them all i'm very sorry laura says i 760 00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:43,840 lost track of how many times this 761 00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:45,919 episode i said sometimes even out loud 762 00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:48,559 how is this weather helpful ted pk man 763 00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:50,000 was definitely more of a villain than a 764 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:52,159 superhero going by his use of power i 765 00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:53,520 never thought i would feel sorry for the 766 00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:57,200 cia in the 1960s but poor george clark i 767 00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:59,679 have actually filed an foia request from 768 00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:01,200 the cia for 769 00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:03,600 anything they might have about ted owens 770 00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:05,200 to see if i can get all of the letters 771 00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:07,200 he wrote to george clark and hopefully 772 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:11,360 any replies that george clark sent back 773 00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:13,520 kirk says did mishlov or anyone go back 774 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:14,720 and systematically match up the 775 00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:16,720 predictions owen sent to newspapers to 776 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:18,080 the storms that actually took place to 777 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:20,159 ascertain the degree of accuracy as well 778 00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:21,760 as whether the storms were in any way 779 00:29:26,549 --> 00:29:24,480 anomalous uh yes there was a bit of that 780 00:29:28,389 --> 00:29:26,559 especially in the pk man book 781 00:29:30,389 --> 00:29:28,399 if owens had any meaningful ability to 782 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:30,399 manipulate lightning and weather then 783 00:29:33,909 --> 00:29:31,840 it's sad that he was so determined to 784 00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:33,919 utilize it for self-aggrandizement at 785 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:35,360 the very least he could have become a 786 00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:37,440 fount for scientific knowledge and what 787 00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:38,960 was his endgame anyway during the 788 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:41,279 earlier part of his career supposedly 789 00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:43,279 the suppose the cia or another part of 790 00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,559 the government had elected to take his 791 00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:46,559 claim seriously what would have happened 792 00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:49,120 then that is a really really good 793 00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:51,840 question um because it seems to be all 794 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:55,039 about establishing owens's position as 795 00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:57,760 the space intelligence's 796 00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:58,720 voice 797 00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:01,600 to humanity messenger to humanity so if 798 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,760 that were to be acknowledged 799 00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:05,279 i have to guess that what would have 800 00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,720 followed would have been 801 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:08,399 epic pronouncements from the space 802 00:30:11,669 --> 00:30:10,080 intelligences 803 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:11,679 about 804 00:30:15,029 --> 00:30:13,039 whatever 805 00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:15,039 kevin emails to say there is a great 806 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,520 bollywood movie called pk coincidentally 807 00:30:20,789 --> 00:30:19,200 it's about an alien trapped on earth 808 00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:20,799 after a spaceship's remote control is 809 00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:23,039 stolen he's called pk because that's 810 00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:25,279 hindi for drunk which is what ted owens 811 00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:26,880 kind of sounds like 812 00:30:30,310 --> 00:30:29,440 that sounds like a movie i need to check 813 00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:30,320 out 814 00:30:35,909 --> 00:30:33,440 on twitter ap strange got in touch and 815 00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:35,919 told me reminded me um because i'd 816 00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:37,440 completely forgotten

donald kehoe seemed to really want 820 00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:46,480 to prove it was a ufo event in his book 821 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:49,279 in his not so subtly titled book aliens 822 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:51,600 from space and i'd forgotten all about 823 00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:54,080 uh kehoe really pounding the the 824 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:57,200 anomalous nature of uh of that blackout 825 00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:00,880 and and the and it being a ufo event in 826 00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:02,159 in that book 827 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:04,240 emailer lester says what did he do for a 828 00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:06,720 living did sis often drop diamonds i 829 00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:08,640 doubt blackmailing sports teams paid 830 00:31:12,389 --> 00:31:09,440 well 831 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:12,399 as for what owens did for a living um 832 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:14,640 he gave lessons he taught his technique 833 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,640 to people he made money that way and 834 00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:18,799 this question dovetails nicely with some 835 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:22,559 um input from uh our our listener 836 00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:25,120 gabriel mckee who is who's been doing 837 00:31:29,509 --> 00:31:27,760 research on the gray barker archives and 838 00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:29,519 he says uh just a quick note to thank 839 00:31:32,789 --> 00:31:30,799 you for the great ted owens episode 840 00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:32,799 which is very timely for me personally 841 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:34,480 as i'm getting ready to write about ted 842 00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:35,840 for my barker book in the next week or 843 00:31:41,669 --> 00:31:38,320 so owen sent barker dozens of letters 844 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:41,679 from 1968 to 1978 many if not all of 845 00:31:45,909 --> 00:31:44,640 them asking for money and he tells me 846 00:31:47,269 --> 00:31:45,919 that i left out one of his favorite 847 00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:47,279 pieces of the puzzle that i didn't 848 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:49,840 really know about which is the s-i disc 849 00:31:53,909 --> 00:31:52,159 that barker's sausarian press gave away 850 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:53,919 to anyone who sent in the coupon in the 851 00:31:57,509 --> 00:31:56,000 back of how to contact space people 852 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:57,519 gabriel says i've only seen one of them 853 00:32:02,389 --> 00:31:59,440 in the flesh or plastic i guess it's 854 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:02,399 from the he sent along a picture it's a 855 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:04,399 an ad for this is the disc that you can 856 00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:08,320 use to contact the sis um 857 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,480 one customer sent it back because quote 858 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:12,559 it had brought me nothing but bad luck 859 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:16,240 which is which is hilarious um so the 860 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,600 question what did owens do for a job 861 00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:20,559 he 862 00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:26,640 provided lessons in his technique 863 00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:28,880 mishlov studied his technique for 864 00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:31,039 example on facebook kevin says at the 865 00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:32,159 end he said that ted owens was 866 00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:33,760 vindictive towards sport teams that 867 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:35,519 didn't pay him protection money did he 868 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:37,360 cause the red sox to blow the world 869 00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:39,840 series in 1986 870 00:32:45,669 --> 00:32:43,279 that would be outstanding if he was if 871 00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:45,679 he was behind that and one more comment 872 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:47,600 from patreon stewart says i love this i 873 00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:48,880 like how you mentioned at the end about 874 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:50,320 the limits of coincidence you could 875 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:51,840 probably predict that a blackout would 876 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:53,360 happen in september if you had a hot 877 00:32:56,950 --> 00:32:55,360 summer because maybe ted learned that 878 00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:56,960 heat messes with the wires and causes 879 00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:58,480 more blackouts however the thing about 880 00:33:02,149 --> 00:33:00,159 making storms appear goes pretty beyond 881 00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:02,159 coincidence could it be possible that he 882 00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:03,760 had studied enough meteorology to find 883 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:05,440 some likely times for these things to 884 00:33:08,950 --> 00:33:07,600 happen and then predict them possibly 885 00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:08,960 but we can barely predict two weeks 886 00:33:13,029 --> 00:33:10,320 ahead accurately with all of our 887 00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:13,039 satellite technology yeah it's the ted 888 00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:16,080 owens thing really is one of those cases 889 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:18,159 where i sort of sit back and say i can't 890 00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:20,000 be too 891 00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:21,600 cynical about this i can be sort of 892 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:23,600 healthily skeptical but i can also 893 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:26,000 acknowledge that this is actually pretty 894 00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:27,760 pretty fascinating stuff so that was 895 00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:29,120 just a sampling of some of the feedback 896 00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:32,080 we got people seem to like the ted owens 897 00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:33,360 episode which 898 00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:36,399 i'm not gonna say it surprises me but um 899 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:38,080 i'm always sort of surprised when people 900 00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:39,919 like any of it 901 00:33:45,029 --> 00:33:42,399 actually so thank you for uh your 902 00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:45,039 attention to ted owens and the pk man he 903 00:33:50,389 --> 00:33:47,840 would be i think gratified with the 904 00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:50,399 response but for right now let's get 905 00:33:56,410 --> 00:33:53,360 back to john keel and a couple more 906 00:34:04,070 --> 00:33:56,420 articles from saga magazine 907 00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:07,110 we picked things up in january 1968 with 908 00:34:11,589 --> 00:34:09,119 an article entitled strange messages 909 00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:11,599 from flying saucers and the beginning 910 00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:14,320 sort of sort of big letters not quite 911 00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:15,839 the headline but sort of description 912 00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:18,480 says for years contact these stories 913 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:20,159 with all their ridiculous details were 914 00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:22,560 credited to the crackpot fringe but 915 00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:24,159 within the last few months professional 916 00:34:28,069 --> 00:34:26,079 ufo investigators quietly returned to 917 00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:28,079 the subject and came up with some 918 00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:31,520 fantastic discoveries oh my goodness 919 00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:33,200 well it might be within the last few 920 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:35,839 months but the stories are from all over 921 00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:38,079 the place and he starts off kill starts 922 00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:40,240 off with a story 923 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:43,919 from argentina in august of 1957. 924 00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:46,320 an argentinian air force plane crashed 925 00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:49,359 and the air force sent three men to the 926 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:51,280 site to guard the wreck two of them went 927 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:52,879 into town for supplies 928 00:34:57,349 --> 00:34:55,119 a third one stayed behind and heard an 929 00:34:59,430 --> 00:34:57,359 eerie high-pitched hum he stepped 930 00:35:01,190 --> 00:34:59,440 outside of his tent and saw a huge 931 00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:01,200 luminous metal disc hovering directly 932 00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:03,359 overhead he reached for his pistol but 933 00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:04,800 could not draw it from the holster for 934 00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:06,720 some unknown reason 935 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,880 standing transfixed tugging helplessly 936 00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:10,480 at his gun the young man heard a soft 937 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:12,560 voice coming from the humming object it 938 00:35:16,150 --> 00:35:14,240 addressed him gently in his own language 939 00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:16,160 and told him not to be afraid then it 940 00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:17,200 went on to tell him that it was an 941 00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:19,040 interplanetary spacecraft that a base 942 00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:20,640 for such craft had been installed in the 943 00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:22,960 nearby province of salta an area where 944 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:24,560 ufo sightings have been reported 945 00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:27,119 constantly for the past 15 years 946 00:35:30,470 --> 00:35:28,800 we intend to help you 947 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:30,480 for the misuse of atomic energy 948 00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:32,160 threatens to destroy you 949 00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:34,000 the voice went on to say that very soon 950 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:35,280 the rest of the world would know about 951 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:37,599 flying saucers then the bushes and trees 952 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:39,680 began to rustle and the craft shot 953 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:46,230 keel explains that the young man was 954 00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:48,000 understandably freaked out he reported 955 00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:50,560 it in full to he reported the experience 956 00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,320 in full to his commanding officer who 957 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:54,960 took him seriously the story appears in 958 00:36:00,310 --> 00:35:57,680 argentina's largest and most respected 959 00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:00,320 newspapers kiel says and later it would 960 00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:02,800 be translated into english and published 961 00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:05,280 in flying saucer review the british 962 00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:08,480 scholarly ish flying saucer journal now 963 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,160 kiel asks is this story and the many 964 00:36:13,589 --> 00:36:12,079 others like it pure hogwash or is it 965 00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:13,599 possible that the unidentified flying 966 00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:14,960 objects are making contact with 967 00:36:19,829 --> 00:36:17,839 bewildered earthlings he will go on to 968 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:19,839 explore some more stories like this and 969 00:36:26,230 --> 00:36:22,800 what's interesting is that in this 970 00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:26,240 article about contact with saucer beings 971 00:36:31,829 --> 00:36:29,440 you don't see apart from one reference 972 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:31,839 to george damski you don't see any 973 00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:34,880 discussion of the traditional 1950s and 974 00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:37,599 60s flying saucer contactees rather we 975 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:39,440 have for example 976 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:40,480 actors 977 00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:43,760 finding themselves contacted by 978 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:46,000 extraterrestrials 979 00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:47,839 consider the tale told by movie actor 980 00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:50,000 stuart whitman star of many films 981 00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:51,599 according to mr whitman he was trapped 982 00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:53,359 in his 12th floor suite in a fashionable 983 00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:55,040 new york hotel during the big blackout 984 00:36:59,190 --> 00:36:57,599 of november 1965 when he heard a sound 985 00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:59,200 like a whipperwheel whistling outside 986 00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:01,520 his window he looked out and saw two 987 00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:04,160 luminous disc shaped objects one blue 988 00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:06,000 the other orange at least that's what he 989 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,760 later told hollywood communist vernon 990 00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:09,760 scott then he heard a voice which 991 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:11,040 sounded as if it were coming from a 992 00:37:14,390 --> 00:37:12,960 loudspeaker they said they were fearful 993 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,400 of earth whitman explained because 994 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:15,920 earthlings were messing around with the 995 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:17,760 unknown quantities and might disrupt the 996 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:19,760 balance of the universe or their planet 997 00:37:22,790 --> 00:37:21,040 the blackout was just a little 998 00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,800 demonstration of their power and they 999 00:37:25,349 --> 00:37:24,320 could do a lot more with almost no 1000 00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:25,359 effort 1001 00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:26,880 they said they could stop our whole 1002 00:37:30,069 --> 00:37:28,560 planet from functioning 1003 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:30,079 no one else in the crowded streets of 1004 00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:31,760 dark in new york reported seeing these 1005 00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:34,240 objects and no one apparently heard that 1006 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,240 loudspeaker but whitman sticks to his 1007 00:37:40,790 --> 00:37:38,640 story why is anybody's guess 1008 00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:40,800 he certainly doesn't need publicity at 1009 00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:46,550 now unlike most of the actors that are 1010 00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:48,720 mentioned in articles from the 1950s and 1011 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:52,240 60s i thought i remembered whitman from 1012 00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:54,320 somewhere and so i i looked him up on 1013 00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:56,720 the internet and he's been in 1014 00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:00,160 almost everything over the years and uh 1015 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:01,680 probably the thing i remember him most 1016 00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:04,160 from is being jonathan kent in that 1017 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:07,040 horrible syndicated superboy tv series 1018 00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:10,320 in the late 80s early 90s boy 1019 00:38:14,870 --> 00:38:12,480 that show was um 1020 00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:14,880 was bad but i watched every episode 1021 00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:17,280 obviously keel mentions some additional 1022 00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:19,680 contact-the stories from south america 1023 00:38:26,670 --> 00:38:23,200 and goes in depth on some of the 1024 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:26,680 stories of airships during the late 1025 00:38:32,069 --> 00:38:29,040 1890s which we've covered here on the 1026 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:32,079 saucer life and also over at great lakes 1027 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,480 lore he talks about the abduction of 1028 00:38:40,150 --> 00:38:36,960 betty and barney hill he talks about 1029 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,160 other stories that that really are more 1030 00:38:44,069 --> 00:38:42,720 abductions than than contactees but 1031 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:44,079 there's an interesting story that he 1032 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:47,599 ends the article with um that that has a 1033 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:52,160 a man in england who named james cook 1034 00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:54,560 which might be real i don't know maybe 1035 00:38:59,270 --> 00:38:57,200 not the famous explorer but regardless 1036 00:39:01,829 --> 00:38:59,280 of which james cook this is 1037 00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:01,839 he was outside at two o'clock in the 1038 00:39:05,829 --> 00:39:04,800 morning on september 7th 1957 1039 00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:05,839 object 1040 00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:12,079 turned from blue to white then blue then 1041 00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:15,040 dark red landed on the ground a few feet 1042 00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:18,480 in front of him and a voice came out of 1043 00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:19,680 the craft 1044 00:39:24,069 --> 00:39:22,320 inviting him aboard 1045 00:39:25,829 --> 00:39:24,079 a ladder descended from the object and 1046 00:39:28,630 --> 00:39:25,839 the voice instructed him 1047 00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:28,640 jump onto the ladder do not step onto it 1048 00:39:32,550 --> 00:39:31,040 the ground is damp he obeyed and jumped 1049 00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:32,560 onto the ladder and entered an empty 1050 00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:34,560 chamber illuminated by a dazzling light 1051 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:36,960 from some unseen source the voice then 1052 00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:38,640 told him to take off his clothes and put 1053 00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:40,800 on the plastic-like coveralls which were 1054 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:42,880 in the chamber again he did as he was 1055 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:43,760 told 1056 00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:45,359 after he had changed his clothes he was 1057 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,720 asked to leave the craft and enter 1058 00:39:50,870 --> 00:39:48,720 another one that landed nearby there he 1059 00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:50,880 found 20 people all of them much taller 1060 00:39:55,190 --> 00:39:52,960 than he was and they took him for a ride 1061 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:55,200 into outer space their craft could not 1062 00:39:59,030 --> 00:39:57,040 operate in damp weather they allegedly 1063 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:59,040 explained to him apparently because they 1064 00:40:02,470 --> 00:40:00,400 were surrounded by some kind of 1065 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:02,480 electrified field they also told him 1066 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,000 that the saucers were only used in the 1067 00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:06,240 vicinity of earth and could not operate 1068 00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:07,680 in outer space 1069 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:09,119 the inhabitants of your planet will 1070 00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:10,800 upset the balance if they persist in 1071 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:12,880 using force instead of harmony cook 1072 00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:14,800 claims he was told warned them of the 1073 00:40:23,109 --> 00:40:21,030 cook protested that nobody would listen 1074 00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:23,119 to them if they try if he tried to warn 1075 00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:25,359 people the danger and um one of the 1076 00:40:28,390 --> 00:40:26,880 other spacemen was irritated that they 1077 00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:28,400 don't humans don't listen to anybody 1078 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:32,000 else either later he was dropped um 1079 00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:33,760 off back at the very spot where he was 1080 00:40:36,870 --> 00:40:35,040 first picked up 1081 00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:36,880 cook told his story to the authorities 1082 00:40:41,990 --> 00:40:39,280 and then quietly returned 1083 00:40:43,349 --> 00:40:42,000 back to his life and kiel says quote 1084 00:40:45,829 --> 00:40:43,359 like the majority of all known 1085 00:40:48,390 --> 00:40:45,839 contactees he did not write any books or 1086 00:40:50,470 --> 00:40:48,400 go on any lecture tours end quote and i 1087 00:40:52,150 --> 00:40:50,480 think this is really interesting and i 1088 00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:52,160 should probably plow through a bunch of 1089 00:40:58,230 --> 00:40:54,640 old fsrs at some point and and put 1090 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:58,240 together a sort of one-time contact-y 1091 00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:00,480 episode because there are a huge number 1092 00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:02,400 of stories of contactees who have these 1093 00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:04,800 little encounters and then 1094 00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:06,640 that's it and the messages are often 1095 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:09,520 very much like what the the big name 1096 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:12,480 contactees had uh had talked about but 1097 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:14,560 there's no books no lecture tours 1098 00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:16,400 nothing like that just a weird little 1099 00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:19,440 encounter with somebody in a plastic 1100 00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:22,480 jumpsuit so what's the verdict on these 1101 00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:25,440 contactees kiel has some fairly strong 1102 00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:28,160 opinions based on his research 1103 00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:30,000 are these contact d stories the product 1104 00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:32,160 of neurotics and psychopaths the author 1105 00:41:35,270 --> 00:41:33,520 is interviewed over a score of 1106 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:35,280 little-known contactees in the last year 1107 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,640 and has discovered some bewildering 1108 00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:37,839 patterns 1109 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:39,520 most of these people interviewed were 1110 00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:41,520 men and women with very low iqs and very 1111 00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:43,920 little education their imaginations were 1112 00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:45,280 very limited and they had read no 1113 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:47,760 science fiction until recently ufo books 1114 00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:49,440 and flying saucer literature was quite 1115 00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:51,119 scarce and not generally available to 1116 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,720 such people anyway 1117 00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:54,000 usually people in this group have an 1118 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:56,319 identity problem they are nobody and 1119 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:57,920 they have absolutely no chance of ever 1120 00:42:01,109 --> 00:42:00,000 becoming somebody often they lean toward 1121 00:42:02,870 --> 00:42:01,119 belief in the occult in the 1122 00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,880 pseudosciences and their search for self 1123 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:05,040 they are in short highly gullible and a 1124 00:42:08,790 --> 00:42:06,720 perfect setup for any plan which 1125 00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:08,800 promises to make them somebody they are 1126 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:10,319 also ready to accept anything they might 1127 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:12,079 be told they are not liars or 1128 00:42:16,870 --> 00:42:14,319 fabricators but they are natural victims 1129 00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:16,880 for those who are liars and fabricators 1130 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:18,480 if a flying saucer were to stop one of 1131 00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:20,240 these people they would be apt to 1132 00:42:23,589 --> 00:42:22,000 believe anything they were told and 1133 00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:23,599 because the contact would suddenly make 1134 00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:25,280 them somebody in a world that hardly 1135 00:42:28,950 --> 00:42:27,280 knew they existed and would be eager to 1136 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:28,960 please and would willingly carry out any 1137 00:42:39,349 --> 00:42:35,270 i do have to wonder if keel was 1138 00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:39,359 administering these iq tests himself hmm 1139 00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:42,240 interesting so he goes on to 1140 00:42:47,589 --> 00:42:45,520 explain that basically the pattern of of 1141 00:42:50,309 --> 00:42:47,599 sightings and everything with ufos over 1142 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:50,319 centuries he says makes it clear that 1143 00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:52,960 ufos don't want their presence known 1144 00:43:00,390 --> 00:42:53,680 so 1145 00:43:02,390 --> 00:43:00,400 contactees were telling the truth and 1146 00:43:04,150 --> 00:43:02,400 not just fakes what kind of truth have 1147 00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:04,160 they told us 1148 00:43:07,109 --> 00:43:05,680 fake planets 1149 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:07,119 planets in the solar system that can't 1150 00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:09,680 actually support life things are 1151 00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:12,560 weird and then he makes a actually very 1152 00:43:15,910 --> 00:43:14,160 interesting point he says quote whatever 1153 00:43:18,069 --> 00:43:15,920 the ufos are up to they are doing it on 1154 00:43:19,829 --> 00:43:18,079 a very large scale all over the earth 1155 00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:19,839 and it is inevitable that they should 1156 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:21,520 accidentally come into contact with some 1157 00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:23,119 of us from time to time when such 1158 00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:24,960 contacts occur they deliberately hand 1159 00:43:29,109 --> 00:43:27,119 out ridiculous false information it is 1160 00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:29,119 time that we got wise to this simple 1161 00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:31,200 psychological stunt they've been pulling 1162 00:43:35,510 --> 00:43:33,280 it on us for centuries they have been 1163 00:43:37,510 --> 00:43:35,520 buying time with our stupidity to allay 1164 00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:37,520 the possible suspicions of the believers 1165 00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:38,960 the ufo occupants have also been 1166 00:43:42,309 --> 00:43:40,720 spreading messages of peace and many of 1167 00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:42,319 the cultists refer to them happily as 1168 00:43:45,829 --> 00:43:44,240 the brothers from outer space let us 1169 00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:45,839 remember that a japanese peace mission 1170 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:46,960 was sitting in the waiting rooms in 1171 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:49,280 washington while japanese bombers were 1172 00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:51,839 on their way to pearl harbor end quote 1173 00:43:56,309 --> 00:43:54,160 so if you've read john keel's books in 1174 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:56,319 the later 60s and into the 1970s where 1175 00:43:59,510 --> 00:43:57,680 he's talking about the ultra-terrestrial 1176 00:44:00,390 --> 00:43:59,520 hypothesis and very sort of esoteric 1177 00:44:02,790 --> 00:44:00,400 things 1178 00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:02,800 it may surprise you to to read or hear 1179 00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:04,319 things like this where 1180 00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:06,560 he's talking about basically not just in 1181 00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:08,880 this article but in some other ones as 1182 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,599 we'll see the ufo people are planning an 1183 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:13,440 attack here comparing them to the 1184 00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:16,319 japanese on the eve of world war ii 1185 00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:19,200 a bit panicky i think and along those 1186 00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:21,040 same lines we've got the last article 1187 00:44:26,390 --> 00:44:23,040 we're going to look at today from the 1188 00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:26,400 april 1968 issue of saga 1189 00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:29,680 secret ufo bases across the u.s top 1190 00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:33,119 secret evidence of strategic alien bases 1191 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:35,680 and kiel's basic argument here is that 1192 00:44:38,870 --> 00:44:37,440 you know there are there are places 1193 00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:38,880 where there are 1194 00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:42,480 you know heavy heavy heavy amounts of 1195 00:44:47,670 --> 00:44:45,520 concentrated ufo sightings he has some 1196 00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:47,680 maps that um 1197 00:44:52,870 --> 00:44:50,000 sort of look at jacques ville's research 1198 00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:52,880 into the airship mystery in 1897 1199 00:44:58,069 --> 00:44:56,079 concentrated from sort of texas up to 1200 00:45:00,150 --> 00:44:58,079 michigan sort of in that middle part of 1201 00:45:02,470 --> 00:45:00,160 the united states he's got other maps 1202 00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:02,480 based on blue book reports and his own 1203 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:04,800 research that show various concentration 1204 00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:05,760 areas 1205 00:45:08,630 --> 00:45:06,640 so 1206 00:45:11,829 --> 00:45:08,640 he wonders if this could indicate there 1207 00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:11,839 are places where there are bases from 1208 00:45:17,910 --> 00:45:14,400 which these ufos are 1209 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:17,920 operating and he says that you know the 1210 00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:20,560 problem with ufo reports in the ufo 1211 00:45:25,109 --> 00:45:22,960 sightings is that there are so many 1212 00:45:27,510 --> 00:45:25,119 different types there are craft that 1213 00:45:29,990 --> 00:45:27,520 land there are contact cases there are 1214 00:45:33,510 --> 00:45:30,000 humanoids there are non-humanoids there 1215 00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:33,520 are different kinds of of encounters 1216 00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:36,640 that people have so it's difficult to 1217 00:45:42,790 --> 00:45:39,359 get any sort of cohesive view of these 1218 00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:42,800 things but the variety of cases might 1219 00:45:47,990 --> 00:45:45,280 provide a clue as to what we may 1220 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:48,000 actually be dealing with 1221 00:45:51,270 --> 00:45:49,680 the unbelievable scope of the ufo 1222 00:45:53,109 --> 00:45:51,280 phenomenon provides such a broad 1223 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:53,119 spectrum of contradictory data that it 1224 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,280 is possible even probable that several 1225 00:45:59,349 --> 00:45:57,359 different groups are involved the little 1226 00:46:01,109 --> 00:45:59,359 men that have been reported may not be 1227 00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:01,119 at all related to the nine foot tall 1228 00:46:05,109 --> 00:46:03,280 giants who have also allegedly been seen 1229 00:46:06,790 --> 00:46:05,119 however there is abundant historical and 1230 00:46:08,950 --> 00:46:06,800 archaeological evidence to indicate that 1231 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,960 both giants and dwarfs once inhabited 1232 00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:11,040 many parts of the world giant coffins 1233 00:46:14,390 --> 00:46:12,640 containing the bones of nine foot tall 1234 00:46:16,390 --> 00:46:14,400 humans were unearthed in central america 1235 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,400 in the 19th century on the other end of 1236 00:46:19,829 --> 00:46:18,480 the scale traces of a civilization of 1237 00:46:22,150 --> 00:46:19,839 dwarves have been discovered in south 1238 00:46:23,430 --> 00:46:22,160 america africa and even in the new 1239 00:46:25,030 --> 00:46:23,440 england states 1240 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:25,040 who were these bizarre people and where 1241 00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:27,200 did they eventually go no one seems to 1242 00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:29,040 know and scientists sweep these erratic 1243 00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:31,440 artifacts under their carpets clergymen 1244 00:46:35,109 --> 00:46:32,880 on the other hand point to the bible in 1245 00:46:38,069 --> 00:46:35,119 genesis 6 4 there were giants in the 1246 00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:38,079 earth in those days and also after that 1247 00:46:41,109 --> 00:46:39,520 researchers who have plunged into the 1248 00:46:42,950 --> 00:46:41,119 vast literature on elves fairies and 1249 00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:42,960 leprechauns have come up with equally 1250 00:46:46,550 --> 00:46:44,880 fascinating cases carefully documented 1251 00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:46,560 throughout history in which apparently 1252 00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:48,400 sober and reliable people have actually 1253 00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:50,240 seen little people in many of these 1254 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,920 cases the reported behavior of these 1255 00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:53,760 little people is very similar to the 1256 00:46:57,670 --> 00:46:55,440 behavior of the little men who have 1257 00:47:02,470 --> 00:46:57,680 allegedly been observed around grounded 1258 00:47:07,430 --> 00:47:05,270 huh the last s on flying saucers got cut 1259 00:47:09,910 --> 00:47:07,440 off there on that clip i wonder who 1260 00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:09,920 could be behind such things well there 1261 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:11,839 are some people who are behind all sorts 1262 00:47:16,950 --> 00:47:14,160 of things and kiel brings them up here 1263 00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:16,960 there are some old friends of ours 1264 00:47:20,309 --> 00:47:18,720 one group of far out cultists have 1265 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:20,319 advanced the theory that a super race of 1266 00:47:23,990 --> 00:47:22,240 giants resides in caves deep toward the 1267 00:47:25,829 --> 00:47:24,000 center of the earth and that these duos 1268 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:25,839 as they are called not only operate 1269 00:47:30,390 --> 00:47:28,079 flying saucers but are also responsible 1270 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:30,400 for all our troubles raging from wars to 1271 00:47:39,910 --> 00:47:37,109 yes it's our old pal the dero they are 1272 00:47:41,990 --> 00:47:39,920 back again he goes into the the shaver 1273 00:47:44,870 --> 00:47:42,000 mystery a bit and then 1274 00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:44,880 says okay so if there are people living 1275 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:47,920 below ground if there are other groups 1276 00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:49,839 and populations of of creatures and 1277 00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:52,240 beings that were not generally familiar 1278 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:54,640 with but that exist in our deep history 1279 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:57,440 and folklore and stories like that what 1280 00:48:04,150 --> 00:48:01,119 if they exist alongside the aliens and 1281 00:48:05,670 --> 00:48:04,160 the extraterrestrial craft 1282 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:05,680 let's open pandora's box a little 1283 00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:06,480 further 1284 00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:07,920 if some of these larger craft are 1285 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:09,440 extraterrestrial and if they are 1286 00:48:12,870 --> 00:48:11,119 visiting our planet repeatedly without 1287 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:12,880 establishing open and direct contact 1288 00:48:17,349 --> 00:48:14,640 with us then they must have another 1289 00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:17,359 unsuspected purpose if some or most of 1290 00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:19,760 the observed ufos are based here then it 1291 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:21,359 might be plausible to assume that the 1292 00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:23,280 extraterrestrial visitors are engaged in 1293 00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:25,040 social or commercial intercourse with 1294 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:27,040 the beings who occupy these theoretical 1295 00:48:31,190 --> 00:48:29,280 bases those visitors may be coming from 1296 00:48:32,870 --> 00:48:31,200 the home base of those other beings if 1297 00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:32,880 they are not from earth and may be 1298 00:48:37,190 --> 00:48:34,240 bringing in supplies additional 1299 00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:37,200 personnel etc to establish new bases 1300 00:48:40,549 --> 00:48:38,800 should this be the case then the 1301 00:48:42,549 --> 00:48:40,559 visitors might very well have hostile 1302 00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:42,559 intentions they could be busily setting 1303 00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:44,480 up a sufficient number of secret bases 1304 00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:46,800 preparatory to launching a sudden and 1305 00:48:51,109 --> 00:48:49,119 totally unexpected attack against us if 1306 00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:51,119 the visitors come from a great distance 1307 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:52,880 it might take them many years or even 1308 00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:54,720 many centuries before their terrestrial 1309 00:49:01,270 --> 00:48:56,720 basis would be strong enough to launch 1310 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:03,670 wow kiwa's really into the uh the flying 1311 00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:06,000 saucers are on the attack paranoia there 1312 00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:09,760 in 1968. overall this is another really 1313 00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:12,480 interesting article that takes a lot of 1314 00:49:17,430 --> 00:49:14,640 different ideas and different aspects of 1315 00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:17,440 the ufo phenomenon at the time in the 1316 00:49:22,390 --> 00:49:20,240 late 1960s combines it with some of the 1317 00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:22,400 folkloric stuff that you would get from 1318 00:49:26,950 --> 00:49:24,960 jacques valet and passport to magonia is 1319 00:49:28,829 --> 00:49:26,960 is probably not too far from being 1320 00:49:32,069 --> 00:49:28,839 released in 1968 i can't remember 1321 00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:32,079 exactly when it came out but late 60s 1322 00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:33,680 early 70s something like that i should 1323 00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:37,040 probably know that a bit more accurately 1324 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:40,640 but you've got a huge amount of existing 1325 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:42,960 information synthesized and speculated 1326 00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:45,920 about which sort of sums up kiel's 1327 00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:48,880 approach in these saga magazine articles 1328 00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:51,359 and indeed in some of his other work as 1329 00:49:57,270 --> 00:49:53,599 well not always 1330 00:49:59,910 --> 00:49:57,280 original research and investigation but 1331 00:50:02,549 --> 00:49:59,920 taking vast amounts of stories and 1332 00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:02,559 information and synthesizing interesting 1333 00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:03,680 ideas 1334 00:50:08,630 --> 00:50:06,400 from it and he did this in these 1335 00:50:11,670 --> 00:50:08,640 articles in a way that was 1336 00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:11,680 in-depth but also approachable to the 1337 00:50:16,710 --> 00:50:15,040 people reading in 1968 so i'll put a 1338 00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:16,720 link in the show notes to where i got 1339 00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:18,800 these it's as always the archives for 1340 00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:21,040 the unexplained has a huge amount of 1341 00:50:24,870 --> 00:50:22,800 things that are scanned and interesting 1342 00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:24,880 and awesome and so i will 1343 00:50:30,230 --> 00:50:27,200 put a link to those in there there's all 1344 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:30,240 kinds of great stuff from saga magazine 1345 00:50:37,510 --> 00:50:32,850 not just john keel 1346 00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:39,030 thanks for listening remember to send in 1347 00:50:42,390 --> 00:50:40,400 your questions and
