LOST IN AN ESCHER PAINTING

Adam Gorightly takes us on a fascinating exploration of the car crash that underlies and undermines ufology in the USA. He begins with the research of Stanton Friedman into Major Jesse Marcel’s testimony about the recovery of alien wreckage at Roswell. This led to the publication of Incident at Roswell in 1980, co-authored with William “Bill’ Moore, that initiated our obsession from crashed saucers.

 

Another strand of the UFO mythology began a decade earlier with cattle mutilations associated with black helicopters and UFOs in the area of Dulce. This, again in 1980, resulted in Linda Moulton Howe’s documentary A Strange Harvest. Even decades later she refused to believe the incidents had anything to do with a secret government project, and that a gas mask found at one of the sites was according to her probably planted by ETs to throw investigators off track.

This sets the scene that UFO investigators are incredibly gullible and whatever the evidence, or lack of it, they will stick to exotic beliefs that The Government is suppressing from the public domain.

 

Once you have something set in your mind as a belief, the Truth leaves the building entirely.  We have the ability to rationalize anything to support our beliefs.  

Moving on we get the story of Paul Bennewitz who in the early 1980s was manipulated by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AUFOIS) agent Richard Doty in secret league with ufologist Bill Moore to believe in an imminent alien threat.

Interesting...that the very beliefs many have in UFOs were created by the Government...to keep the public from learning of the Secret Ops they were actually involved in...which no doubt had absolutely nothing to do with aliens.
