From Project Blue Book to the Skinwalker Ranch! WTF???

Project Blue Book was garbage when it started, but take a look at how crazy it's going now:

Hynek goes to the set of Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the next episode (the movie wasn't even made until 1977).

And in the episode after that, Hynek and the other guy go to...wait for it... the Skinwalker Ranch!!!

WTF???

June 24: A Deadly Day For Ufologists

 
Loren Coleman has an excellent new article on the more than a few deaths in the UFO field that have occurred on June 24. It's the date on which (in 1947) our lord and master, Kenneth Arnold, had his famous and controversial encounter that ushered in the modern era of Ufology. It's also a subject which I discuss in my latest book, Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind.

The Deadly Side of UFOs...

"On Monday of this week, I had copies arrive of what is probably the most controversial book  I have written so far: Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind, which is officially published on June 23; although a number of people have contacted me to say they already have copies. Basically, the book is a study of the many and varied suspicious deaths in the field of Ufology, spanning 1946 to pretty much the present day.

"Immersing oneself in the world of the unidentified flying object can be exciting, illuminating, stimulating, and enlightening. That very same world, however, is filled to the brim with cold-hearted killers that will not think twice about taking you out of circulation, if such action is deemed absolutely necessary. And not all of those cold-hearted killers are human."

That's how my new Mysterious Universe article begins...

Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind



Had copies of my new book, Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind, arrive yesterday afternoon. The official publication date is June 23; however, you can pre-order it at Amazon right now.

And here's the publicity info for the book (which is published by New Page Books):

Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported.

Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common. And grisly deaths at the hands of both extraterrestrials and government agents have occurred.

Highlights of Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind include:
  • The strange saga of the incredible melting man.
  • The UFO-related death of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal.
  • The mysterious disappearances of military pilots and their connection to UFOs.
  • The connections between national security and the sudden deaths of UFO investigators.
Getting too close to the cosmic truth about alien abductions, Roswell, and what the government really knows about UFOs can—clearly—be a deadly business. The government’s latest admission of the existence of Area 51 is barely the tip of a very big iceberg.

Deaths of the Ufological Kind



In a new article titled Are You Still Alive? UFO Deaths, Revisited, Loren Coleman takes a look at the controversial matter of those in Ufology who have passed on, perhaps (in some cases, at least) under not altogether innocent circumstances - which is the subject of my next book, Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind, which is published on June 23.
