UFO Weirdness
Since this week - and last - has seen (perhaps more than any other - ever) Bigfoot thrust firmly into the heart of the world’s media, I figured that for the next day or two I’d continue in this monstrous vein and focus on a few semi-related things.
Number one:
A few days ago, I was interviewed by The Blogsquatcher on the controversial issue of Bigfoot and the paranormal, a subject that features heavily in my new book There’s Something in the Woods (Anomalist Books). We delved deeply into the issue of strange phenomena associated with Bigfoot; as well as the surprisingly large number of reports of the so-called “British Bigfoot.” The Blogsquatcher has just posted the first-part of the interview on-line, and which can be found at this link.
Number Two:
I recently interviewed British author Dr. Karl Shuker about his new book, Dr. Shuker’s Casebook. The full interview can be found here. However, for UFOMystic readers in particular you may be interested to know that Karl’s book includes some much welcome UFO data that focuses on the “Sky Beast” theories of Trevor James Constable that I’ve always had a particular interest in.
Here’s what Karl had to say in the interview with me about UFOs and the Sky-Beast link:
“I suppose looking at it from a zoological standpoint, almost every square inch of the Earth has life that has evolved to live in it: on land, in lakes and oceans, in caves. The only area where there seems to be a conspicuous absence of evolved life-forms, actually living exclusively there, is the sky. Of course, birds and insects fly in the sky; but they don’t live there. But then along comes Trevor Constable, and others, with the idea that perhaps UFOs – which we tend to think are either things like weather balloons, lenticular clouds or alien spacecraft – are a type of living creature: a living UFO that lives all its life in the skies, and that perhaps comes down occasionally out of curiosity and we see them. It’s an extremely radical theory. One of the big questions is: what would they feed on? The answer is energy. They’re energy-consuming creatures. But plants do something similar: they photosynthesize and get their food directly from energy. It’s all very speculative; but I find it a fascinating concept.”

I wonder if he’s related to John Constable, that might explain the sky thing. As I recall, his photos of “invisible critters” made me think “dirty lens” more than creatures from “Etheria”.
A spooky idea though, and I’ve always thought that UFO’s probably are alive in some sense -maybe more than we would like to know- especially if you imagine expanding our understanding of artificial intelligence and nano-technology.
Or is this just something to replace “rods” now that they’re insects?

Constable also built Reichian cloudbusers (and still does as far as I know) in addition to authoring They Live In The Sky. I actually have a video clip of him waving the ‘buster around in an old documentary, the title of which escapes me at the moment.
Good observation about John Constable, what with his obesssion about dramatic skies.

Trevor Constable also taught a kind of cloudbustering to Curtis LeMay, famed Air Force general who ran as VP on the same ticket as George Wallace in 1968. I have some relatively recent correspondence with Constable in one of the Cyberculture Counterconspiracy volumes but also miraculously it still appears on the web at:
http://www.umsl.edu/~thomaskp/lac.htm
All that old “edu” web site material was supposed to have been removed long ago. So check it out while it still holds.
My view: Constable obfuscates Reich’s work with irrelevant occultism and LeMay was a bad guy, possibly involved with the JFK hit.

Isn’t the George C. Scott character in Dr. Strangelove loosely based on LeMay?
