The 1964 Socorro Event coming to a bookstore near you

As some of you may know, my dear pal Kevin Randle has a new book about the 1964 Socorro/Lonnie Zamora UFO episode coming out in October. (It’s already promoted on Amazon.)

A fresh look at the odd sighting is quite okay with me, as it either represents a bona fide alien landing, a U.S. military experiment (my preference), or a prank (the Tony Bragalia view).

There is no other speculation that works. Lonnie Zamora wasn’t hallucinating nor hoxing nor drunk (as Mr. Bragalia once hinted).

The “sighting” is rich in detail and has been superbly recounted by many, now with a renewed view by Mr. Randle at hand.

In conjunction with this new endeavor by Kevin, I saw in a cursory view of Luis Gonzalez exquisite evaluation of the once hopped-up UMMO incidents that he (Luis) mentioned Jacques Vallee thought the Socorro symbol was a rendition of the Arabic sign for Venus.

This one?

Or this one?

And there are two renditions of the insignia on the Socorro “craft”:

Which one is the real one? Mr. Randle will broach the topic in his upcoming book.

But why would Monsieur Vallee think that either of the proffered symbols looks like the Arabic symbol for Venus?

Odd.

Whatever was on the egg-shaped thing Police Officer Zamora saw could not come from an alien (extraterrestrial) species.

I’ve provided my views, many times on this, after studying the evolution of writing by humans (on this planet).

Any writing that originated with alien civilizations would be unrecognizable as such by us (Earthlings). The 2016 movie Arrival dealt with this but, moreover, writing or depictions that may be akin to human writings, from an extraterrestrial species, would in no way have a similarity to anything created on this planet.

The evolutionary contingencies that created human writing would not be the same for an alien (extraterrestrial) civilization.

Any designation that smacked of or resembled a human symbolic endeavor would have to a spoof or joke by those who created the egg-shaped “craft” – Howard Hughes techies as I see it. (Or, perhaps, pranksters from the New Mexico University that Anthony Bragalia sees as the hooligans.)

But let’s see what Kevin Randle’s take on this is…

A ufological thing that I’m wrapping up

Luis R Gonzalez provided an item recently that provokes me to comment on it

One comes from his extensive rumination on the Peter Khoury “abduction” which I’ve provided online here (below).

In conjunction with that odd case, I mentioned to Luis that his copy of a Peter Khoury diary excerpt brought me to mentioning handwriting analysis, something that I wrote a term paper on in college when handwriting analysis was a hot tool for businesses during their hiring practices.

Luis told me he thought handwriting analysis was pseudo-science. He is correct, to a point.

Handwriting analysis, graphology, did enter a nadir phase but has rebounded as a business tool today.

But Luis’ opinion holds some weight, even with me. Some aspects of handwriting analysis borders on pseudo-science, the specification that certain letter construction shows the mental configuration of the person whose handwriting is under scrutiny.

But M. N. Bunker - note the name! – formed a handwriting discipline he called “grapho-analysis” to distinguish it from graphology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Graphoanalysis_Society

(This mimicked the separation of Freud's psychoanalysis from the psychology of his peers.)

Grapho-analysis is beholden to the gestaltian view that one’s total handwriting provides a clue to that person’s personality and/or character.

Now you can eschew the whole idea of handwriting analysis as a bona fide tool for anything, but look at Peter Khoury’s handwriting in his diary about his alleged alien (ET) abduction:

You don’t need to resort to graphology or grapho-analysis to see that the writing is without class or distinction, sloppy, ill-formed, bordering on what one would see in the writing of a schizophrenic: an uneducated ramble, or mental deficiency, or neuro-motor malfunction.

Which is it? It doesn’t matter.

The writing supports the speculation that Peter Khoury’s purported encounter took place under the rubric of a delusional episode.

I don’t think Mr. Khoury was hoaxing or committing a ufological fraud, although some UFO investigators believe that is exactly the case.

I feel that Mr. Khoury was subject to a pathological bout (or several of them) that created in his mind the idea that he was seduced by female extraterrestrials.

Bill Chalker thinks his pursuit of DNA in a hair sample, supposedly left upon Mr. Koury proves the alien abduction hypothesis.

But the provenance of that hair sample is more than iffy; it is indeterminate.

(I won’t go further with the Khoury tale here. It smacks of excruciating lasciviousness that only the sexually morbid among you might find interesting.)
