UFOs: The News
Well, having not been around for the last couple of days, I figured it’s time for another round of “what’s going on in Ufology right now.”
When I got home, waiting in the mail-box (among other things) was a review copy of Orfeo Angelucci’s Son of the Sun and The Secret of the Saucers, both newly available as a single, bound volume. Equally significantly, the book comes with a free Audio-CD titled Golden Age of UFOs: Orfeo and the Contactees Speak. You can expect to see a review here some time late next week from me on this very welcome re-issue from the Golden era of the Contactees.
The Pascagoula 1973 UFO event is back in the news again, via some interesting old, archived gems. Check it out.
The Goat-Sucker resurfaces in Mexico?
Now this is bizarre! I knew the aliens could be mean: but endlessly tormenting someone with cosmic debris is just not right!
Dick Cheney: friend of weird, spindly ET bugs? Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised….
Mac Tonnies delivers his Top 10 “First Contact” alien/UFO novels. Although they’re not strictly “first contact” in nature, in my personal opinion, the best UFO novels are those that encompass David Bischoff’s UFO Conspiracy series of the early 1990s. kind of like The X-Files meets The Fugitive, they’re well written, witty, adventurous and keep you guessing until the end. Here’s what I had to say about them some time ago.

Hey Nick: What’s your take on Baktar? And how did Kevin Randle handle your Body Snatcher book?

Hi Drew:
Kevin disagreed with the info on the book. We had a debate about it in a “UFO Special” book that “Fate Magazine” published about 2 years ago, and which I think is still available.
Interestingly, the book (which also included papers on Roswell from various other “Fate” contributors) also included papers from John Keel, two of which mentioned a Japanese angle that he had come across - one of which was linked with bodies.
As for Baktar: well, I think that like so many of these alleged UFO entities (and related beings, intelligences etc), in many cases there is an interaction with “something” but my view is that while this “something” is an intelligence of some sort, it’s one that’s probably always been with us. But that it is one which has changed over the years to suit the times - and isn’t ET in origin. Though it may suit its “trickster” purpose to have us believe that.

Nick — thanks for the reply! I’ll look for that FATE book. It’s kind of like the father of Sci-Fi — Hugo whatever. So he’s always attacked as having been too much of a nuts and bolts man with no real psychological depth. He created that “osophone” for example - hearing with your teeth. Amazing. Anyway but his primary concept was the
“self-perpetuating vortex.”
Which, to me, is totally Fortean — can’t remember what Fort called them, oh yeah - the teleporting vortices.
I think Fort did figure out the secret of the Trickster.
