For a trip through UFO material, much of it that you've never seen before, read on.....

Over at Kevin Randle's blog [kevinrandle.blogspot.com] is a piece spurred by my sending Kevin an item I got from Jose Caravaca about the Socorro symbol, found by Jose at a Curt Collins Facebook page about UFOs.

I couldn't find the page but Tom Livesey left a comment at Kevin's blog offering the link to Curt's page which is open to the public:

I checked it out and its a terrific site, flush with esoteric and germane UFO material (old and new).

A UFO abduction or military experiment?

Copyright 2018, InterAmerica, Inc.

Lynn Picknett, in the 2001 book The Mammoth Book of UFOs [Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc. NY, Paprback], on Page 417 relates a UFO abduction story that mimics the tales that Nick Redfern has reported as military related: experiments by government agencies.

Paul Bennewitz and Leonard Stringfield investigated a 1980 abduction of Myrna Hansen and her six-year-old son.

“ … Myrna Hansen … remembered seeing five UFOs descend in a cow pasture near Cimarron, New Mexico … she recalled seeing two figures, dressed in white suits [emphasis mine], emerge from one of the craft and begin mutilating one of the cows. When she tried to intervene, she and her son were grabbed and taken on board [a] separate craft. Hansen was subjected to a physical examination, including a vaginal probe … However, the procedure was interrupted by the appearance of a human scientist, who apologized to her and ordered that she be freed. The man took her on a tour of the UFO, and also allowed her outside: the craft had apparently flown to a new location in the New Mexico desert. She and her son were then subjected to a process in which bright lights and loud noises battered their sense, before being returned to the field where their adventure [sic] had started.” [The tale recalled under hypnosis]

The questions to ask are What would be the purposes for an alien abduction and a bovine mutilation? And why would the U.S. military or government be engaged in such obtuse experimentation?

Nick Redfern may have the answer as he provided an exegesis of the 1958 Vilas Boas abduction and medical exam, reported to be a military operation by CIA/AID operative Bosco Nedelcovic (and detailed extensively in Nick’s book Contactees).

Earth is a contained reality (and UFOs are an infinitesimal part of that reality)

Chris Savia provided, 11/4, for his Anomalist links, some examples of cave art (hashtags on ochre pieces) dating from about 73,000 years ago.

Cave art has been an interest of mine which some of you know from the postings here.

Human activity, from the outset of existence, has been strikingly intriguing but only within the evolutionary environment of Earth.

Savia seems to be fan of human quirks and the soil for that is rich in cognitive entertainment.

Nick Redfern, and a few other people you and I know, are obsessed by the paranormal (weird) intrusions that have afflicted some in society much more recently than those odd things that caused mayhem among the ancients and members of the Dark, Middle ages.

We of the modern era have been put upon by odd phenomena that itself is more modern, UFOs, for example.

And while UFOs are a fixture for a few of us and our fellow humans, they do not have the cachet that the gods of old had for those in the early stages of written history, nor for primitive man, despite a few cave drawings that the Ancient Astronaut crowd sees, perhaps rightfully, as depicting visiting craft from outer space.

In the context of human existence, from the enlightened consciousness that persons such as Julian Jaynes (with his concept of the bicameral mind) intuited to the modern evaluations of consciousness and reality by philosophers and theoretical physicists Earth is unique, with unique events.

H. G. Wells, in his Outline of History – evaluated in the TLS issue I noted here the other day (about its Fortean Times review) – gave us a précis of how the Earth is one of a kind.

How UFOs play into that is grist for this blog and others more astute.

That extraterrestrial life may be abundant in the cosmos or life appears in another dimensional world or universe is a curiosity but has nothing to do with our Earthly existence [apud quidem].

So, those spending too much time on things ufological should curb their misplaced interest and pursue the rich reality that is human existence and behavior.

They will find rewards that edify and intrigue, like Savia’s hash-marked ochre.
