No it isn’t connected with the Philadelphia Experiment. In fact, it’s weirder.

Bear in mind that this is a theory on the part of certain US Intel people and I’m not sure yet to what extent it’s provable or not. But it basically focuses on Jack parsons and other disciples of Crowley using archaic rites to open doorways that may have allowed some form of non human intelligence access to our world.

In the view of those in the official world that subscribe to this theory, they see the ETs (if thats what they are) as occult entities.

This “doorway” you mentioned; is it related to the alleged “Philadelphia Experiment”, or is it an unrelated different?

Your post pre-supposes you know exactly how reliable (and how far ahead of us) ET technology is. I believe I recently read that there are some 48 suspected crash cases. That might be considered a ridiculously excessive number if only a few hundred vehicles have ever come to visit Earth.

But what if visits to Earth are somewhat common? What if there are thousands or tens of thousands or more each year? What is some or even many of these purported craft are not from light years away, but from relatively near points in space, or perhaps even based in remote and inaccessible places right on Earth itself?

There are thousands of UFO reports made each year and, depending on whose statistics you go by, between 10% and 20% of these reports cannot be explained in terms of hoaxes, failure to identify unusual but known aircraft, meteorological phenomena, etc. It is also that amounts to hundreds if not thousands of potentially legitmate sightings every year. And it is also estimated that only a very small percentage of all yearly sightings get reported at all, meaning those hundreds or thousands of genuinely unidentifiable sightings could probably be multiplied by 10 or 20 times. Now you’re dealing with tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of truly unidentifiable cases every year.

If that is true then 48 known downed craft over the last 50 to 100 years or so is a pitifully small number. It is miracle that the number isn’t a hundred times greater than that.

The bottom line is, a state of the art Boeing jet is an incredibly complex and sophisticated piece of hardware. Its design incorporates multiple redundent backup systems and fail safe mechanisms. It is flown by pilots with thousands and thousands of hours of flight experience not to mention all the time spent in flight simulators. In spite of all this those aircraft sometimes crash. What evidence or reason do you have for thinking non-human life forms must necessarily be infallible, or dramatically less fallible than we humans? Or, what reason do you have for supposing that 48 crashes over the last 50 to 100 years or so is necessarily excessive? Do you have an exact count on just how many craft there are looking in on us?

That’s a good question,and I think that if (and of course that’s a big if) there have been crash-retrievals, then we may be looking at different phenomena.

However, right now I am chasing a story for a new book on links between 1947 crashed UFO stories and rites and rituals undertaken by Jack Parsons, that it has been suggested (in official quarters, no less) may have resulted in a doorway having been opened to something not alien but perhaps more paranormal and that came down at Roswell.

Now, I’m not saying I accept this (see my comments to Mahone above re my views), but I do know that this has been suggested by people in the Defense Department.

So, I think that there could indeed be other (maybe more than one) explantaions for Crash cases. The problem is how we answer that question without firm evidence.

Nope, no kids (and my wife and I have no desire to have any either), and nope I don’t vote (as a Brit living in the US I’m not allowed to).

Crashed saucers: as I said the crashed saucer controversy is an interesting one, but who is saying anything about anyone falling for anything?

I merely said that anyone with an interest in Crash-retrievals will find this new DVD of great interest - which it is.

You may not know this but in 2005 I had a book published that was titled Body Snatchers in the Desert, which suggested that ALL UFO crash stories (and specifically Roswell) were a cover for accidents involving classified military prototype aircraft experiments.

So, I’m certainly not just accepting crash tales uncritically. Instead, I’m suggesting that interested parties examine all the evidence, and all new evidence with an unbiased mind. Nothing more, nothing less.

I certainly don’t know what the truth is, but I do know that the only way we will find that truth is by studying all the data - old and new.

Accepting for the moment that there are in fact genuine cases of crashed hardware with bodies (or better yet, live ones) of what appear to be non-human life forms, how does this fit in with your suggestion that these beings are created by us as some kind of mental/emotional constructs and then given a physical reality? Do such crash retrievals fit into a different category of beings unrelated to the Tulpa-like critters, or are they part and parcel of the same phenomena?

The scariest thing is that you people probably vote — and have kids. Have your brains completely turned to gunk? People who fall for this crap have the same ‘go-along’ mentality as the WWII Germans and the people who let the Spanish Inquisition happen. Jeez. Facts be damned. No wonder America is in such crappy shape these days.
