Albert Rosales’ vast, fascinating oeuvre and José Caravaca’s explication

Copyright 2023, InterAmerica, Inc.

The immense collection of (UFO) encounters provided by Albert Rosales, for years, in books, his web-site, and on social media, is stupendous and truly fascinating; accounts of interactions by extraterrestrials (ETs) and other paranormal entities that, whether actual or imagined, are grist for speculation and sheer, often cringe-worthy enjoyment.
 
I’ve, on occasion, inserted some here (and elsewhere) and continue to collect as many as come my way, recently hoping to use some in an AI analytic examination to see if they might be used to explain the UFO phenomenon. (They appear devoid of "data" that leads to a UFO explanation.)
 
The accounts by normal people within normal activities raise questions with profound implications: are people actually engaging with entities from other worlds or are people having a pathological experience that is unknown to psychology or neurology?
 
That the related experiences come from normal people, some perhaps confabulating but not all, surely, force an examination that has been shirked by the professionals in the sciences noted – psychology and neurology.

However, Spanish researcher José Antonio Caravaca has presented a brilliant and coherent, even cohesive theory that, perhaps, explains the encounters.
 
That theory known to many UFO enthusiasts is entitled by Caravaca as The Distortion Theory and can summarily said to be this:
 
An “external agent” – a term used by Caravaca that is some- what confusing – grabs hold of persons in various circumstances – not fully defined – wherein the person or persons are submerged in a kind of theatrical barrage derived from their own psychical imaginations and realities, producing a kind of mischievous mise en scène.
 
(As to why, I don’t know if Caravaca has worked that out yet.)
 
But the “theatrical-like” performance of the “agent” upon persons is registered by them as a real event, full of truths and implications.
 
(Again, the reasons for how or why some people are so affected have not been clarified by Caravaca and I suggest you get hold of his books on the matter; they explain his theory much more clearly and sensibly than I am presenting them here.)
 
That Albert Rosales has accumulated such a monumental record of such alleged encounters is an effort worthy of encomiums by UFO aficionados and should be looked at by psychologists and neuro- logists with some interest and seriousness as José Caravaca’s theory suggests.
 
The implications of the Rosales massive collection(s) and Cara- vaca’s perceptive hypothesis open a door to either a reality that impinges on Earth’s civilizations or reflects a psychopathology that has a meaning all its own – unique in ways yet to be explored by those able to do so.
