I've heard plenty about Cooper being a real jerk, among other -+ things, but I've never heard about his material. Or was it assumed -+ that since he's a jerk he's also a liar? ... Does anybody have proof -+ either for or against Cooper's theories & revalations? Whatever one makes of Cooper's personality and apparent state of mind, one cannot fault his frequent insistence that people do their *own* homework and make up their *own* minds. In his 9/24/89 talk at Sedona, he underscored this over and over again, and offered a bibliography to anyone who wanted to check things out on their own. I'm surprised that the criticism of Cooper's paranoid manner has not been balanced by a willingness to follow up on his information. Many of his assertions about the world power structure are not new with him (as he readily reminds us), and have been discussed by many researchers and authors over the years. What *is* perhaps new with Cooper is a drawing together of certain threads of information that simply have not been drawn together before now, either because no one has bothered to do so, or because to even consider such a picture requires either an extraordinarily open mind or a particular set of fears and neuroses geared to a fascination with such matters -- or both. One of the things that should be taught in grade school is that many of those whom we honor as 'pioneers' in various fields were considered quite mad in their own time -- and perhaps justifiably so. Whether Cooper is right for the wrong reasons should not concern us as much as whether he is right for *any* reason. I don't necessarily buy his *conclusions*, but for various reasons I find much of this *information* provocative and worthy of further study. Anyone interested in tying more of this together would do well to get hold of a copy of THE GODS OF EDEN by William Bramley. It explores a theory that takes the world power structure way, way back into the mists of history. It begins where Zechariah Sitchin (The Twelfth Planet, The Wars of Gods and Men) leaves off, and suggests that we are the results of an ongoing experiment in the creation of a servant race. Hence, we must be encouraged to fight among ourselves and create disparate belief systems which will discourage us from ever finding out the truth in a concerted way. Bramley cautions that his theory is to be taken provisionally, and he does seem to lump some things together indiscriminately. But if 10% of what he says is true, we may have to take a long, hard look at many of our chershed assumptions. Bramley puts the UFO phenomenon squarely in the middle of this picture. I don't agree with everything Bramley says, but I found his book absolutely riveting. THE GODS OF EDEN is published by the Dahlin Family Press. If you can't find the book, the publisher's phone number (in San Jose, CA) is (408) 554-2863. I recommend the book *HIGHLY*. It is *extremely* thought- provoking and very well researched. By the way, Bramley is a historian and sociologist -- not a ufologist. -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: isis!well!ddrasin (Dan Drasin) Subject: (none) Date: 10 Jun 90 22:14:33 GMT Psychological research -+ From: paranet!mcorbin >> one aspect of ufology that has developed rapidly over the past >> few years attempts to understand the psychic and psychological >> effects of UFO experiences, and to collect and discuss evidence >> on that level.

Thus far, I have not -+ seen any, and would welcome it. Mike, one good place to start would be a publication entitled CYBERBIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE IMAGINAL COMPONENT IN THE UFO CONTACT EXPERIENCE. Note that the word 'imaginal' does not mean "imaginary" -- it's a psychological term having to do with the process by which people 'image' things and make meaning from them. This publication is a paperback book that's part of a subscription series entitled ARCHAEUS. This edition is edited by Dennis Stillings and consists of nine articles by different researchers. WARNING: The articles contain quite a bit of terminology that may be difficult for non-psychologists to grasp without a certain amount of preparation. Regardless, the book is still *very* well worth reading. It will be particularly challenging to those who feel that the nuts-and-bolts reality out there is exclusively of prime importance, but by no means does it deny the importance of the physical aspect. One might express the book's premise as follows: We cannot learn very much about these phenomena without learning new and quite unexpected things about ourselves.

I've been flying to Alabama this past week on business and just got back. I'll expound on both topics below. Also I appreciate your brief explanation of your personal history. ------Physical evidence----- It is my firm belief that most of the sightings/landings/pictures could be further investigated by a person with the correct equipment. Of the case studies I've read about dating back to 1950's most of the sites of these events are 'cold' by the time someone with the intent to investigate arrives, or worse yet the site has been contaminated by the witness or interested by-standers. One historical case comes to mine that occurred in Brazil in the 1950s where a UAP was observed to explode off-shore and debris washed up on the beach. Some of the metal fragments were crudely analyzed and found to be 99.99% pure magnesium BUT with a strength approaching steel. The samples did not attract much attention until years later after they had been discarded by the farmer who found them. But the chemist that heard of the unusal strength thought that maybe it was some form of advanced alloy...or MAYBE! a radical crystalline form of magnesium that was man-made. We'll probably never know. This sort of loss of evidence occurs in other cases such as the Gulf Breeze sightings when the film was removed from the camera in other than certified laboratory conditions. The validity was in question the moment the guy removed the film and developed it without the proper witnesses, conditions, and controls. Or the circular ground patterns when persons have access to the site in an uncontrolled manner the introduction of contaminates is unavoidable. Tests like soil compression, electromagnetic polarization of the soil minerals, vapor and aeromatic trace testing, soil temperature differential chemical analysis, argon lasar minute residue testing, etc.... these should be done in the first 12 to 24 hours after the site has been created/discovered and WELL before a throng of people invade the scene. These type tests could be accomplished by a person with about $30,000 worth of field equipment and access to a good chem lab for the chemical/gas spectro-analysis. Anyway I could talk for hours of the things I would love to see tested/examined when a 'site' is discovered or a piece of evidence is brought in. Do you realize the care that NASA affords moon-rocks?? UAP raw evidence needs to approach that type of concern for investigators trying to gather facts. Heck!!!... there aren't even any guide lines for how to go about examining most of the stuff that is reported in connection to UAPs. -------'Famous' UFO persons---------- You asked for specifics on some of the persons that are making the rounds in the circus of current UFO happenings.....well I wasn't able to come up with much other than stuff that leads me to believe that most of them are wackos with some desire for attention. I did the normal stuff that anyone can do on a person that is legally available from departments of public government. Tax records are available, in some states motor vechicle records are available, voter registration, draft registration, the City Directory(fantastic source!!!), land ownership/lease information, etc.... I will not name individuals since I believe that this goes beyond my purpose of doing the checking.....besides it usually degenerates into name calling and pointing fingers. I found that in most cases the individuals had one or more personal problems of such a nature that would cause their emotional status to be called into question. In one of the more vocal and newsworthy persons I found that they had been involved in out- right financial fraud and had a very bad credit history. One individuals resume' was found to be HIGHLY embellished from the truth...or maybe UFO groupies did the embellishing and the person just let it go. Also I was suprised at how much information that can be obtained from public sources was overlooked by the news media when reports/stories were published on these people. To contrast the 'famous' witness with the more credible random witness I'll describe someone we'll call 'Rose'. Rose came to my attention about 1 month ago from friends in San Jose California who started mentioning my interest in UAPs. They said they had a relative there that had witnessed this weird object at close range. Rose is a housewife with two kids, dog, and husband. She doesn't read science fiction and has no belief in UFOs or ETs. The only reason that she even mentioned the sighting to relatives is because of the effect it had on her elderly mother who was in the car at the time of the sighting. These sightings occurred about 1 year ago. Her initial reaction was of disinterest because she thought it was related to some Navy activity that might be going on at Moffett field in San Jose. Anyway that was the first and last time she spoke of it until I started asking her questions. Witnesses like these usually show no interest in seeking any form of attention and tend to discard the sighting as some known aerial phenomenon. BUT this type person is exactly the ones I tend to go after because they have no motives for reporting the UAP(and sadly usually don't) and distorting what actually happened. I guess they're the innocents of the UAP field and are more attractive to someone interested in raw information without embellishment. I hope that this little discussion can give you an insight into some of the pitfalls of this field. The money required to chase down some of this stuff can total up to a big bill. If I didn't fly myself.....the amount would be huge. Thats why I get pretty pissed at all the garbage that floats around that tends to just waste time....can't these attention freaks find something else to do??????

Are you referring to the one with the circle of lights, with an outboard flashing red light? That has nothing to do with Gulf Breeze. That's the Hudson Valley video, taken by the Pozzuoli's of Brewster NY in 1984. That one's real, as far as we can determine. It has a dozen independent witnesses to verify it, and a cursory analysis by JPL's Al Hibbs produced no answers (but its NOT a formation of ultra-light aircraft, as Phil Klass would have you believe - no pilot would fly an ultralight at night with winds gusting to 28 knots). The GB video is a very different animal altogether. It doesn't look too RIGHT, it looks too WRONG.

I talked to Dave Jacobs briefly about it. He told me the man's name was (Richard?) Price, and he was actually a patient of Ben Jamieson. Said the implant fell out during a medical checkup or something. He expressed some confidence in the report. Hopefully, we'll be able to ask Dave more about this when he gets online in the Abduction echo.

I think you may be zeroing in on a major problem with the Breeze. There is something about that darn video, something I can't quite put my finger on, but it has to do with the lights...something that should be moving, stays put, or something that should stay put, seems to move, I'm not sure which, but something is definitely WRONG. Can you with your stop action VCR, see what I might be talking about? Its amazing that this video has passed muster with every analyst who has looked at it. I am CERTAIN there is something wrong with it, something that points to some kind of video-diddling.

Yes, I think most of the people on PN are too. The fact that they are seen all over the world is strong evidence that they are NOT some US secret project.

Not only would such a person seem like a poor security risk, if they had been "away" from their physics for any more then a few months, they would not likely be the hotshot the gvt would be looking for. Lazar has yet to explain what special expertise he had that made him so valuable to the gvt.

On a great many of them, there are reflections of lights that in my experiance are a rarity on photos and videos, but Walters seems to be plagued by them judging by the videos and photos he takes. I have no doubt that someone could take a photo of a half raabbit half goat and make it look genuine and submit it to an analyst and be told it's genuine but that wouldn't change the fact that it was a picture of something that was simply not a real creature. I am far from conviced that photo analysis is anywhere near good enough to detect a great many possible hoaxes. I was told Mcabee was going to put out a paper somewhare detailing the specifics of his photo analysis; do you know if he has done so? Was it in the GB Book? -- Jim Delton - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Delton@p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG ********To have your comments in the next issue, send electronic mail to******** 'infopara' at the following address: UUCP {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara DOMAIN infopara@scicom.alphacdc.com ADMIN Address infopara-request@scicom.alphacdc.com {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara-request ******************The**End**of**Info-ParaNet**Newsletter************************
