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. Nick — thanks for the reply!

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. Hi Drew:

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