UFOS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPARISONS by Ufonalyzer 5/2010

UFOs and Psychological Comparisons

In his book, “Flying saucers and Science,” Stanton Friedman tells of a man named Lester Grinspoon, MD, who in 1972 suggested that UFOs have some sort of Freudian connection. He is currently an Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He claimed that the round disc shape was inspired by female breasts and the cigar shapes were phallic symbols. He obviously believes that witnesses are seeing imaginary things shaped by their sexual Freudian tendencies. They all therefore must have untreated psychiatric disorders. Throughout the field of UFOs we can easily find highly educated non believers who don’t have a clue about that portion of reality occupied by UFOs. Stanton Friedman has pointed out that the better educated the person, the more likely that person is to believe in the UFO phenomenon, but here is an example where one’s education still did not open his mind to the evidence that is all around him. Many people, you see, are educated beyond their intelligence.

Another interesting and similar theory, but with more possibilities, is expressed by Greg Reece. Greg Reece holds a PhD in Religious Studies. On the Binnall of America radio show on 11/10/2007, he made some very interesting comparisons between UFOs and religion. The vast power of the US government in controlling the whole UFO situation is analogous to the omniscient power of God. Both have an element of mystery about them with so many unknowns that we all wish were revealed. The Men In Black represent dark angels who visit witnesses on behalf of the government (God). Aliens are able to provide the truth of creation as well as information on mankind’s redemption and destruction. They can also become our saviors if they wish. Disclosure is the second coming of Jesus. To this, the Ufonalyzer would add that reptilians may be analogous to the snake in the Garden of Eden. Reece states that the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote that UFOs are modern day scientific angels. This man (Reece) gave a very interesting and engaging interview, even though one can discern from his comments that he may not believe in UFOs. You can find more of his views in his book “UFO Religion: Inside Flying Saucer Cults and Culture”, 2007. You can buy a used one on the internet for about $1-$2 plus shipping.

Despite Dr. Reece coming across as a non believer in UFOs, he can still be correct in his theory about the connection between UFOs and religion. It is the opinion of this writer that many people are hardwired genetically with a religious/spiritual gene or need. Religion can be used to satisfy this need, but so can UFOs. One can tell from the points that Reece makes that UFOs fit pretty well with religious structure as we know it, so with a little bit of childhood religious indoctrination, this explains how so many UFO believers easily fall into the religious side of the UFO subject. The Ufonalzyer lives in a region where its MUFON chapter is dominated by spiritual people, and MUFON meetings and presenters are quite spiritual which is why he has not joined MUFON. As you know, religious interpretation of UFOs has been with the phenomenon from the very beginning and Reece’s comparative views summarized in the preceding paragraph easily explain how this came about. He further believes that as the years tick by with no further nuts and bolts progress/proof, more and more ufologists will be gravitating toward the religious side of ufology. This, by the way, is a belief shared by the Ufonalyzer and was mentioned in his writeup “Nuts and Bolts to Paranormal”. Some major ufologists already have or are in the process of crossing over. No names will be mentioned here. The Ufonalyzer believes that this “crossover” from nuts and bolts to religious (or spiritual) UFOs should be resisted because no progress to answer basic UFO questions will be made in the religious arena, or so he thinks. Mind you, this writer does not deny the paranormal aspects of UFOs. There’s abundant evidence of that. It’s just that this is so far beyond us that those who try to make money by talking/publishing about it are using shear guesswork with no possibility of progress.

The great genius, Isaac Newton, 1643-1727, was always a big time believer in his religion and alchemy. This combination is about as close to the spiritual and paranormal as you can get. He began his transition over to more and more alchemy in 1669, eventually devoting full time to it after many years until the end of his life. His great contributions in mathematics and physics were the first reflecting telescope, 1668; color theory of light, 1672; early calculus, 1665; his laws of motion/gravity, 1687. What were his contributions to the paranormal? Zero. This bears a repeat: ZERO. His writings in this field were so useless that the Royal Society decided that they were not fit to be printed. None of us can even hold a candle to Newton’s intellect, yet even he made no contributions whatsoever in the field of spiritual and paranormal, and his interest in this curtailed his contributions to math and science thereafter. Take a lesson from Newton: stick to the tangible aspects of UFOs. If you don’t want to stick to nuts and bolts, there are 39 openings in the Heaven’s Gate cult just waiting to be filled.

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE TOO by Ufonalyzer 5/10

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE TOO

The affairs of aliens are shrouded in high strangeness, but let us not forget that we are strange too. The Ufonalyzer thinks that he’s very good at spotting phonies but knows that he is bad at understanding how people think. One area that is completely outside of his understanding is hoaxers. Why do it? Is it fun? Does it make them feel smart or important? Do they hoax out of ignorance? Sometimes the reason is obvious, like in the case of the balloon boy’s dad. This idiot had money plus 15 minutes of fame as his goals. But for the most part, hoaxers are baffling, or maybe the answer is “all of the above.”

Ufologist Ellen Crystall witnessed another strange human behavior. There were two periods in her life in which she frequented areas with high number of UFO sightings. She diligently witnessed and recorded her experiences in her good book, “Silent Invasion”, 1991. The Ufonalyzer recommends reading it. One area was in California in the ‘70’s and the other was Pine Bush, NY in the ‘80’s. She realized from interviewing the locals in these areas that they did not wish the aliens and ships to be either chased or spied upon. How the locals reached this state was a mystery to her, and it prevented them from learning much of anything UFO-related that was occurring right in their locale. They had reached a state, not based on fear, but where they instead had almost a religious respect for them.

Another strange thing is Disclosure, but this time not by our paranoid and secrecy crazed government, but by ordinary citizens who have a juicy UFO tale to tell. There must be thousands of un-mined stories out there being hidden by employees of private industry, US government, and military. The Ufonalyzer has previously estimated that only 1 in 500 such people ever come forward to reveal their experience. This estimate was very crudely done, but it is the only estimate that this writer knows of. When you sit down and think about it, it kind of makes sense though. Just imagine how many military have participated in crash cleanups and UFO-plane chases, and how many civilians have experienced pilot sightings, control tower radar plus visual sightings, alien artifact analysis, alien autopsies, reverse engineering studies, and special studies regarding alien impact on this or that. The Ufonalyzer’s previous estimate is that there are currently 93,000 employees both in the public and private sector doing UFO work funded by our black budget. That is NOW. UFOs have been around 65 years in the public eye, so there have been two or three generations of such workers who have come and gone. Therefore, the information resource secretly carried by those who are in the USA and who could supply insider information on this subject is probably around 200,000 to 300,000 not counting those who have died. Where are all these people? The UFO skeptic would say that few come forward because the whole UFO thing is baloney. Steven Greer was able to scrounge up about 500 who were willing to speak openly about the secret. The best guess is that it is a minor issue in the lives of most of them. They also know that reprisals by the real powers controlling the UFO secrecy in addition to public ridicule are not worth going public. Take Edward Ruppelt for example. His classic book on UFOs was revised late in life to add chapters at the end to debunk what the previous chapters made clear—the reality of the UFOs. Someone had gotten to him. Although a career military man, threats against him probaby took the form of pension cancellation or family harm. This probably contributed a lot to his early death. These are just guesses.

If you allow that maybe 200,000-300,000 Americans have an insider UFO story to tell, what do you think, maybe 30,000 learned their story in the 50’s to the 60’s? Let’s see, a person who worked on a major UFO event in 1969 at say age 25 would be 66 today. That age is beyond the usual retirement age. 1949 would be 86; 1959 would be 76. This person does not have to fear reprisals from his employer, or the ridicule of his coworkers. He does have neighbors, and they might laugh at him. The really big question is will the government use its illegal computer hacking to destroy his pension and take away his social security? Will they smear his reputation? Will they prosecute him for security oath violations? Will they murder him? It is the opinion of this writer that the answer is ‘no’ for most people (unless they were a really big fish in the UFO knowledge department). Even retired ex-generals have come forward to reveal the truth, and we have not heard about any sort of reprisals against them so far. Now that the computer age is upon us, one beneficial result of it is that fewer CIA murders are occurring to maintain the coverup; they instead are opting for financial reprisals and reputation slurs. The goverment may also have perfected its mind control methods, so that the exit interviews of UFO employees include a selective memory erasure. The thugs who threaten families with the murders of their children are probably still living and in many cases and retired, having been given honorable discharges, but let us go forward believing that this illegal and ugly anti-American tactic has diminished. Naïve? Maybe.

Social psychology teaches us about compartmentalized thinking. This mode of thought is what allows the Cosa Nostra members to be good family men and churchgoers. They separate their negative and evil behavior from their good behavior with no conscience repercussions at all. Most of those who orchestrate, maintain, and enforce the coverup fall into this category. Other coverup people may think they are being patriotic and these people are wrong. Others think that they can handle the truth but most everyone else can’t. These people exist and they are repugnant.

Some believe that anyone subjected to the government’s secrecy pressure automatically wishes to expose the truths that they’ve learned, but this not the case. Some are perfectly happy with ultra secrecy and it does not bother them. In fact some react just the opposite of what you’d expect. When it is pointed out to them what the secrecy laws are and that what they know is allowed to be revealed under these laws, they decline and say that in their opinion the information is still “sensitive” and they will not reveal it. In other words, they have their own private secrecy rules, sometimes even more severe than the government’s! According to ufologist Anthony Bragalia, in one of his last interviews, Jessie Marcel Sr. told the interviewer, Linda Corley, the following: "There is a hell of a lot that I haven't said for the sake of my country." Yikes. You’ve just told us about a crashed Roswell saucer which represents one of the greatest historical events in history, so what are you holding back on other information for? WTF? One technique that does work to get a few good witnesses to come forward is for the investigator to absolutely guarantee the witnesses’ secrecy. Len Stringfield was successful with this approach. This also shows that there are many silent witnesses do want others to learn their stories. The problem with this approach is that the receiver of those secrets is then continuously, illegally monitored so that his phone, internet, and snail mail are intercepted and the witnesses becomes known. Another technique to avoid reprisals was used by Bob Lazar. He went public with his stories when he began to suspect that he was in danger. The sunlight of publicity suppressed the likelihood of reprisals against him (although it assured that the negative aspects of his life story would be publicized). When you think about it, though, it is understandable that the normal retired person maintains his silence because the social and financial downside threat still makes telling the story not worth it. Anyone who does come forward is to be admired.

What is hard to figure, though, is the lack of deathbed confessions. Thousands of the 200,000-300,000 could easily and safely do us all a public service by providing their own personal disclosure without any threat whatsoever if they disclose in their very final years. It must be that when you’re dying, you might have more important things to think about than an old UFO story. But why not do a signed affidavit while you still have your wits about you, and then have it revealed posthumously. That would work. What do you think?

Digression: The Ufonalyzer’s opinion follows: What should “Joe Citizen” do if he experiences a monstrously huge UFO happening, or finds a suspected alien artifact with great provenance? Should Joe contact the government or the local authorities? Hell no! History shows this is the worst thing to do, because it could result in personal threats and it will result in the artifact being confiscated with no feedback whatsoever. The newspaper or local TV? Don’t be ridiculous. Instead, Joe should contact a top ufologist whom he suspects has the financial resources to properly investigate the story and/or scientifically analyze the artifact. The best initial contact method would be to arrange a meeting with that ufologist so that the constantly illegal spying on the ufologist does not detect anything about Joe or his story. The second best method would be to contact MUFON, but be aware that MUFON does not have much money and it could be already infiltrated by CIA agents.

SHOT IN THE FOREHEAD WITH A DIAMOND by Ufonalyzer 5/10

Shot in the Forehead With a Diamond

Once in a while in one’s lifetime, a rare event occurs. This kind of event might happen only once every several years. This is when a sudden burst of understanding occurs, when the light bulb goes on, when an “ah hah!” response happens. In Zen Buddhism this is known as a satori, which is a sudden awakening. In the movie “Apocalypse Now”, it was described as “being shot in the forehead with a diamond.” It might also be that you are not the very first one who has had a particular awakening, but it is very satisfying nonetheless.

One of these happened to the Ufonalyzer when he was studying Close Encounters of the Third Kind cases. He decided to graph them with the x-axis being time, and noticed that they corresponded to past UFO waves. Not a big deal. The awakening occurred when the different alien descriptions were looked at within each wave and it was noticed that each wave had a large variety of different races within it. All races were participating in the wave! Wow! This suggests a common purpose across these races in their decision to come to earth more or less at once. It suggests communication across these races, and it further suggests cooperation. As corroboration of this last point, some alien CE3 crews have been observed to consist of 2 or more alien races.

Another realization occurred just a couple of weeks ago. The Ufonalyzer saw a UFO book in his local library entitled, “Silent Invasion” by Dr. Ellen Crystall published in 1991. It interested the Ufonalzyer because its title was so similar to his own writeup “the Secret Invasion”. The Ufonalzyer started reading with low expectations, expecting a wacko author. This woman was one of those people who had many, many sightings in her life. Most were at night, but many were close enough to resolve the crafts’ shapes, and some were extremely close. Normally, the Ufonalyzer dismisses nighttime sightings as containing little information and scientific value. However, Ellen Crystall did not want to go out to lonely, forested fields at night by herself so she always took people with her. In other words, her very impressive sightings almost always had two or more corroborating witnesses. She always claimed that she must have been targeted by aliens (although never abducted.) She draws conclusions in her book about the nature of the craft and their alien passengers, but never overreaches her data. Most impressive. She also has photos in her book, but they are almost all crappy in spite of the fact that she was an expert in photography. She does have photos of truncated light beams from the UFOs that look like Star Wars movie light sabers. The crappiness of the book’s photos is partially explained by the fact that they are black and white on normal book paper, not slick, but even if they had been given a more expensive treatment, they still would have looked crappy. Maybe in real life they are more impressive. She touches upon the unique problems of taking UFO photos and why so many of them don’t turn out presumably due to the types of radiation emanating from the craft. She also mentions once about needing a camera with a quartz lens instead of glass so that the radiation can be captured on film. This section of the book could have been improved upon. The Ufonalyzer became intrigued by this author and found that she died of pancreatic cancer in 2002 at only age 52. This was a sad finding.

The discovery of this good book is NOT the sudden revelation. A YouTube video was found of her being interviewed in about the mid-nineties. In the interview she happened to mention something about aliens’ home planets. The interviewer then asked her “but what about if they come from another dimension?” (paraphrased.) Here comes the revelation: She answered that even if they come from another dimension, they still must have come from a planet. Her response was a crystalline nugget of pure logical thought that was so rational that it blew the Ufonalyzer away, shot in the forehead again with a diamond. This may not sound like much to you, but to this writer, it was profound. The interviewer acted as though he did not even understand her response because he was tied up in thinking of trans-dimensional beings as beyond understanding. He also seemed to be hung up on the portal aspect of inter-dimensional travel. Of course she was right. In the TV series, Fringe, this is exactly the case, where a parallel universe occasionally links up with our own and strange crossovers occur. The beings from that universe have their planet just like we do.*

Before Ellen Crystall made her enlightening and clarifying statement, this writer believed that if UFOs come from other dimensions, then the whole phenomenon gets much stranger and more impossible to understand. That is, more impossible until she made him realize that they probably come from planets also, and are corporeal beings moving around in strange and wonderful machines just like other beings who come from our galaxy’s stars. Once you arrive at this conclusion, it helps you realize the following: The difference between the hypothetical trans-dimensional UFOs/beings and the other UFOs/beings who come from our own universe is simply that the trans-dimensional UFO craft can maneuver across the dimensional wall barrier while the galactic UFO craft from our own dimension can maneuver across light year distances in a reasonable length of time. Thus, one does not need a special category or different mode of thought to study those beings who may be from another dimension. They can be studied the same way as the long voyage Milky Way beings.

*Of course, given that there are earth size anomalies photographed near our sun also suggests that instead of a home planet, there might be whole races constantly voyaging and searching space or other dimensions in huge motherships. And it should be added that if beings of pure energy exist, they might have forever freed themselves from planetary constraints and connections.

CONSPIRACY RANT by Ufonalyzer 5/10

Conspiracy Rant

As you know, there is a conspiracy to cover up the existence of UFOs.* This is so apparent that it makes on wonder if the word conspiracy correctly applies anymore. It used to be the right word to use, but now it is so easy to detect that it makes you want to use another word for it. In 1953 the infamous Robertson panel revealed the course for the USA’s UFO secrecy policy. In 1956, the secrecy allegedly went global in a Geneva, Switzerland meeting of the USA, USSR, France, and England** in which the basic secrecy and repression of the Robertson panel’s policies were repeated for these countries as well as all countries under their influence. No one likes conspiracies. Some people jump onto just about every conspiracy that they hear about, but most of us can handle only a small few. This writer’s conspiracy beliefs are the UFO coverup, the inside job assassination of Kennedy aided by the CIA, and just one or two others.

In the last 3 or 4 decades, our scientists have very unhappily had to accept the fact that much of our world has been shaped by catastrophes. They much prefer to have smooth, linear, and gradual change explanations for the way things have evolved around us, but instead they have had to accept the fact that short term, violent events have had profound effects on our environment. These short term events are largely hidden having happened in the distant past, whereas the smooth linear processes are still occurring and visible if one knows how to look. Similarly, the Ufonalyzer is beginning to believe that there may be a lot more conspiracies around controlling our lives than we really want to know about. Conspiracies may be one of the biggest true explanations of how things really work here. Every conspiracy is a catastrophe although it may be slow and gradual. Conspiracies are always hidden as opposed to a process like government which is supposed to be open.

The problem nowadays is that the world might very well be controlled by secret conspiracies managed by individuals who are not politically prominent but who are wealthy and powerful. This really sounds paranoid, doesn’t it? Somebody must be managing things because it takes only a short look at Congress to realize their complete ineptitude, both houses included and both parties included. The recent ignorant decisions by our Supreme Court show that this group is incompetent as well. The country has lost its mojo, while a repressive country like mainland China appears to have found the mojo that we lost.

What is going on? The teachings of our schools about how the government and the Constitution work is still occurring, but this teaching is about the pre-1950’s when things actually did kind of work the way it is still taught in schools. Nowadays there’s something else going on, and it is not in the public eye. It is secret.

When you read the books and hear the lectures of both Jim Marrs and Richard Dolan, you begin to get a sense of the bad situation that the world is in. Oddly, UFO study provides the quickest and easiest way to prove to oneself that there is a shadow government whose main method of maintaining itself is through secrecy. Jim Marrs says that if you don’t study UFOs you are missing out on information about what is really going on in America. This is not a pleasant realization, and is yet another negative aspect of having UFOs as a hobby. After all, Richard Dolan’s research has shown him that the UFO topic was a principal driver toward developing the internet. Now we see that UFOs are being a driver toward revealing the true structure of the present world political scene in which nation states are dying, being replaced by global business entities.

*As stated in previous writings, it is always assumed that readers of this blog are smart enough to know that UFOs are real. If this is given, then the fact that there is a coverup logically follows.
