To Cal Roeker' new comment: no, there was no intention to take anyone to task. I, too, would like "full disclosure" so that the issue of UFO's and intelligent alien life on Earth is clarified. The trouble is, the evidence that might lead to a full understanding is downplayed and never publicly analysed. In other words, the analyses that we need to verify, once and for all, what is happening, are either stifled or hidden from view. This is not speculation - we have videos of odd lights, frank talk from pilots on alien craft and so on, and then that's it. No scientific task force digs in to the information, at least in public view. It is a Catch-22; we want the proof verified by our experts, but the experts are never there to verify. Thus you don't believe. It is a round-robin that has worked well (if we presume a cover-up) for nearly seventy years.
Thus the question always remains: is there really a cover-up? When some undersecretary of defense is caught sneering at such an idea, we sneer with him. Hah! Tin-hat society! Which is exactly what THEY would want you to think, if there were a cover-up. Catch 22. What makes it more than a paranoid dream, however, is, as always, the evidence, however fleetingly it appears, and the clear testimony of people who otherwise are reliable witnesses. Is Edgar Mitchel crazy? The ranchers at Roswell? The numerous commercial and military pilots, the ex-security officials,leading psychiatrists - and my staid, businessman father? Perhaps the information is too far above our science, and some of that is probably true, but that does not excuse the way fairly clear evidence of something is either left to dangle in the wind or is quickly mocked.
We have spoken often in these pages of the disenchantment of the world in recent times, and I have little doubt that some people, people who are not otherwise crazy, wish to find that enchantment in the UFO phenomena. I am not one of them. Yes, internally I often find this disenchantment, but that is easily blown away by quickly expanding my thoughts to what is immediately available to our minds and senses. We come from nothing that we know of; we die into nothing that we know of; the world around us works on matter by physical laws that have arisen from nowhere; the universe is endless, or at least only limited by another incomprehensible law of nature; the universe itself came from nothing, and may return to nothing; and we are a mere speck in it all, incapable of understanding it all from our ordinary faculties. Pretty amazing to me. By this I mean, I don't "need to believe." I don't even like the idea of aliens flitting around; as Stephen Hawkins said recently, when aliens (or different cultural types) with superior technology come into contact with their technological inferiors, the results are almost always disastrous. Ask the American Indians or the 'Kung bushmen. I'd rather be surrounded by angels at the command of a loving god and be done with it. But the evidence - it is there.
And I think it means something greater than a mere invasion, as in Cortez, Pizarro and company. In Arthur Clark's "Childhood's End, " the book begins with aliens taking over Earth politics. It is revealed later that this was done to keep humans from destroying themselves so that they might reach a greater potential. This occurs towards the end, when children begin to be born en mass with psi abilities -which then leads to a great evolutionary leap. In my autobiography "Dream Weaver," I begin with just this speculation - that the baby boomers were given, almost out of nowhere, new insights into spirit, as well as certain psycho-active drugs to help them realize further their meaning. Many of us, including myself, abused the material, but all of us were changed and are changing still. To those who now have Millennial children, I have to ask: don't you find them different? I do, and in a subtle way that it hard to describe. There is a furthering going on, and perhaps - and I have no proof of this, although many have experienced this personally - an alien psychic direction is going on. Who is directing them is hard to say, and maybe we confuse them with the angels. Or maybe they ARE the angels. Or maybe they are Cortez. It would be nice to find out. FK
