A few UFO accounts that have to be taken seriously

Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc

Aside from the AATIP videos of Naval pilot encounters with aerial oddities, a few older UFO sightings/reports stand out as credible.

Ken Arnold’s 1947 Mt. Rainier sighting of 9 boomerang-like craft has a kind of patina of validity, but it doesn’t rise to a level that encourages me to see it as something unworldly.

The 1952 MainBrace UFO accounts, from those aboard ships in the exercise, because of this drawing, at the time, by enlisted sailor William Scott makes for a credible assessment:

The MainBrace UFO depicted reminds me of the Reverend Gill 1959 Papua, New Guinea sighting(s) and I'll be touching on both upcom- ing, along with other sightings similar to William Scott's depiction.

The Betty/Barney Hill 1961 “abduction” is filled with aftermath contradictions making that alleged event open to interpretations of a psychological kind.

But the 1964 Socorro/Lonnie Zamora incident offers – because of Officer Zamora’s astute witness report – an accurate account with an insignia/symbol, which could nail down the object if we knew just what insignia was actually seen/drawn by Officer Zamora.

Unfortunately, the episode and the insignia became flummoxed by the shenanigans of Ray Stanford who presented a version of it (the insignia) that displaced, for some, the symbol drawn by Officer Zamora as the one seen on the egg-shaped “vehicle” that left impressions in the ground.

I had originally discounted the 1973 Charles Hickson/Calvin Parker Pascagoula capture as a possible folie à deux episode but reading and seeing Calvin Parker’s version of what happened, along with the recent disclosure that others had witnessed the event (in part) has made me a believer that both Hickson and Parker experienced something profoundly unusual and credible despite the odd details that make the event a fantastic interlude in normal reality.

(A recent note that a 1993 incident involving Calvin Parker, sup- posedly related to the 1973 event, causes me pause in accepting the original story as pure as it seemed to be. But it, at this point, remains high on my credible list.)

The 1979 Robert Taylor “assault” recorded here and presented in great detail by Malcolm Robinson’s Dechmont Woods book makes for a case of an AI-related machine attacking a human being.

Earlier I thought that an explanation of an isolated attack of tem- poral lobe epilepsy was germane, but Mr. Robinson’s reportage disabuses me of that interesting “diagnosis.”

I saw Robert Taylor’s ripped pants as a probable result of his ac- companying dog trying to fetch or help her master who lay on the ground after such an epilectic episode.

But the deep trenches found at the locale of the alleged sighting and “attack” provide hesitancy in disputing the event. It seems that something large landed where Mr. Taylor was accosted.

And the aftermath of Mr Taylor’s story/experience bolsters his veracity, the details not disputed by much analysis of researchers.

The idea that extraterrestrial intervention into human affairs and lives is not an idea I’m inclined to accept for all the reasons mentioned here for a long time.

But it seems like that something odd has settled upon the lives of a few select persons and that something has not been explained, but is highlighted by the accounts that I present above but not detailed because those reading here know the incidents and what has been studied or examined and presented by UFO enthusiasts often and rather completely.

There are other UFO occurrences you can cite that seem redolent of actuality. Feel free to note them in a comment.
