E.T. Disappearance Syndrome 4 : Brad Steiger Article 1975

'There is probably no one who has written so many books on the subject of UFOs or has been so widely read as Steiger...'

Jerome Clark The UFO Encyclopedia (1990)

'There are several theories as to the ufonauts' place of origin and their true identity. Every investigator, regardless of how receptive he is to other opinions, has his favorite location, whether physical or ethereal, for these manifestations. Generally, however, all the arguments are eventually reduced to the central issue of whether the UFO intelligences are essentially nonphysical entities from an invisible realm in our own world, or whether they are physical beings who have the ability to materialize and dematerialize their bodies and craft...

...Most often, they appear content to merely show us what can be done. They have done this before by demonstrating the possibility of air flight, radio communication, television, and a host of other developments that were once considered by Mankind to be impossible. Now they may be demonstrating the possibility of dematerialization and rematerialization. Perhaps they are showing us that the best way of dealing with space travel over great distances is not to travel through space, but to avoid space....'

E.T. Disappearance Syndrome 3 : Orestes Wilson Letters 1970-1978

A long-term reader of Laura Mundo's Michigan-based Interplanetary Center newsletter was ORESTES WILSON. The July 15th 1970 edition of The Emergency Press includes a reference to a letter sent by this person [first name is here as printed, different to subsequent newsletter references to their letters]:

'..Ores Wilson, on 1st list, then 2nd, now back on 1st, Reading, Penn... writes, after reading FS booklet.. "Just finished your long book "Flying Saucers" - it was quite a book! The photos were welcome. You sure cover all the personalities. The people in Reading, Penn, are now mentally & physically exhausted. I'm ready to be picked up and rejuvenated!" (Ed: it would be nice if it were that easy).

"I was a great Adamski fan. When I saw my first saucer in 1954. But he did not believe in invisible spacemen which also exist, with invisible spaceships. Yes, there are TWO kinds.

"Thanks for all this literature - after showing some kids your book, a little boy jumped up yelling "good news - good news". We are sure coming to a climax now and everyone is waiting for the mass demonstration." Then Wilson quotes solograph or message by mental means hopefully from the space people.. which we do NOT support. It says - "We will appear in your skies at all hours - day and night."...'

A communication from the same person was related in the January 1973 issue of Emergency Press:

ORESTES WILSON, PENN.. WRITES.. "THERE ARE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE SPACE PEOPLE HERE", INTO WHICH WE DO NOT GO. WE AGREE THERE MAY BE MUCH ON THE HIGHER AND LOWER (THAN VISIBLE) INVISIBLE FREQUENCIES, PROTONIC (ULTRA BLUE SPECTRUM), ELECTRONIC (INFRA RED SPECTRUM) OF WHICH WE DO NOT KNOW. ENOUGH TO KNOW ABOUT THE SIMPLY MORE ADVANCED SPACE PEOPLE COMING TO HELP US TO HELP OURSELVES (OPENLY FROM BEHIND THE SCENES) TO GO THROUGH THE PLANETARY CLIMAX....

The July 1978 issue of the same group's newsletter - at this stage called The Mundo Monitor - includes Orestes Wilson's views in the 'MAIL BAG' section. This time he (?) writes that he saw an 'Adamski Bell Scout Ship' in broad daylight, hovering for half an hour, 100 feet over the Neversink Mountain, in South Reading. This happened in June 1958:

..."ADAMSKI HAS THE BEST PHOTOS OF UFOS", WILSON WRITES, "BUT HE WAS NOT PERFECT. HE SAID THAT THE SPACE PEOPLE WERE ALL LIKE US AND WERE ALL VISIBLE LIKE US. NOW WE KNOW OF OTHER FORMS THAT ARE VERY UNLIKE US AND CAN APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR."

WE ARE SURPRISED THAT ORESTES HAS CONTINUED TO SEND FOR OUR NEWSLETTER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN A STAND NOT TO RESEARCH INTO "THE FOURTH DIMENSION" WHICH MIGHT BE THE 2ND DIMENSION, INSTEAD. THE SPACE PEOPLE TELLING ADAMSKI THE SUNSPOTS DISTORTING THE ATMOSPHERE SO MUCH THAT DISTORTION OF THE MIND WILL EVIDENCE ITSELF, ALSO.. AND PSYCHIC MANIFESTATIONS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED VERY OBJECTIVELY. WE DO NOT KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE PHYSICAL, VISIBLE OCTAVE/SPECTRUM AS WE NEED TO KNOW YET BEFORE GETTING INTO "THE INVISIBLE PARALLEL UNIVERSES" AS ALLEN HYNEK CALLS IT, WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE CALLED THE "FOREMOST UFO AUTHORITY".

E.T. Disappearance Syndrome 2 : The Joan Howard Letter 1972

Here is a letter that was published in the May 1972 issue of FORUM, one of several periodicals edited and published by Ray Palmer during those times. In the book 'Sight Unseen', published 2003 and co-written with Carol Rainey, Budd Hopkins states that in about 1983 he had a conversation with David Jacobs, in which they agreed that alien capabilities had to include invisibility capabilities. He then goes on to claim that in 1983: '..to suggest in published articles or even in public lectures that the UFO occupants possessed a technology of invisibility was to court disbelief and rejection... Finally , it was David Jacobs, perhaps the bravest and most forthcoming researcher in the field, who broke the ice. At a UFO conference.. in 1990, he presented the first carefully researched paper on the subject... Several years later I presented a paper on the subject at a conference in Virginia...' [For the complete text see Chapter 10 of the book]

Budd Hopkins states as if it is a matter of fact that: '..This is the historical background for the subject we have been considering...'

According to the Hopkins' version of E.T. encounter research history no one seriously considered that the aliens had invisibility capabilities before himself and David Jacobs discussed it in 1983. Could it be that these two men are so hugely knowledgeable about UFO and alien encounter history that they thought they would be able to justify this big claim? Could it be that they are just too egotistic to consider the possibility that others might have thought of and written about these matters before they did? Could it be that they are ignorant of the 'contactee' and many other accounts before 1983 that referred to disappearing alien entities, as well as objects made to disappear by otherworldly beings? The glaringly wrong statement by Mr.Hopkins: '..This is the historical background for the subject we have been considering...' brings these sort of questions to my mind.

No, Mr.Hopkins, you are very wrong - the historical background does not begin with yourself and your friend Mr.Jacobs...

Joan Howard 1972: '..Over a period of time I have found quite a few cases where persons experiencing either mental or physical contacts, or both, have seen and heard not merely similar, but exactly the same things. This includes types of dress of "space" people, facial characteristics, especially eyes, coloring of eyes, hair, and height. Also hieroglyphic-type writing or printing, and certain things that take place in the space of a few seconds during a physical contact. Including the vanishing act. I have seen this myself.....'

George Adamski : Three Quotes 1950-1951

'..You see my dear friend, I am 100% for the truth and therefore the many chaffs must be cast away before the heart of the kernel can be found. One thing to remember, there could never be a counterfeit without the real being first...'

---Letter to Emma Martinelli, March 13, 1950---

'..Yes, we are in a transitional period and some of it might not be too pleasing to some, but to those who understand, it will be pleasing. The veil between us and the universe is gradually being pushed apart and those of us who have patience as well as vision will witness things which were undreamt of at one time...'

---Letter to Emma Martinelli, November 24, 1951---

'..When I say minds of infancy I mean just that because the average mind today is less than 6 months old, although it may be within a physical body 60 years of age. Let me explain how I obtain such a figure: the average person sleeps 8 hours, works 8 hours in the business field where he has no opportunity to think of or for himself, leaving 8 hours for himself. Of these 8, he will use 4 definitely going and coming to work, dressing and meals. He has 4 hours left in which he may pick up a paper or book and read someone else's thoughts, or seek entertainment of one kind or another. Should he sit down for 15 minutes wherein he does his own original thinking without influence from anyone else, he is doing very well; but it is this kind of thinking that actually develops his own individuality and his own mind. Now if you take that 15 minutes of each 24 hours over the course of 60 years of physical life, his mind is but a babe's while his body is of age. So, I believe he is doing a pretty fair job with his little development. Of course, the more matter is being used, the more sensitive it becomes, or endowed with consciousness of perception...'

---Letter to Emma Martinelli, November 24, 1951---

A $Priceless Question - What If Howard Menger Told The Truth?

Question... How are the visitors trying to raise the mass consciousness of the people?

Answer... By various methods such as:

a. Dissemination of saucer research data.

b. Stories of contacts with their own.

c. Their signs in the sky.

d. Mechanically by means of mental capsulation, and machines. Mental capsulation can be projected by sound, color, vibration. A high frequency sound can be a mental capsulation; a song or a selection of music can be a mental capsulation.

Music in the form of a mental capsulation helps "push certain buttons" in the mind and releases something which is there. However, because of the way we eat, think, and act on this third dimensional planet, this knowingness is held dormant, sometimes through several lifetimes. Nevertheless, God's laws shall prevail, and those who are due this release toward an awareness will have it when the time in the cycle of expression of this planet is ripe.

The machines which send out super-sonic high frequency sounds use a man's body as a terminal in conjunction with the mental capsulation. There are three terminal bodies in each state. The machines now operate on a silent carrier wave.

"I physically was at a very real UFO incident, but I was too young to remember anything about it. It's only been recounted to me. But that's pretty intriguing. And, it's pretty weird that... I was reading some UFO magazine a few months ago about this Peruvian guy who had some big UFO organisation down in South America, and he refers to the UFOs, the ships, as manta rays. And I've written two songs using manta rays as an image for UFOs, and I'd never read that before. Then I was reading one of those goofball books about Area 51, the airforce base in Nevada where they supposedly have the alien bodies and ships on ice. I read in this book that it's known in UFO circles as 'The Ranch', and I've got this song called "The Happening" where the opening line goes "They got a ranch called number 51", and I'd never heard this place referred to as The Ranch.

I know they're stoopid coincidences that don't really amount to a lot, but a grin can't help but crawl across your face. It's kind of fun to think 'Well, gee! They're f----in' with my mind, man! I know! Down deep, subconsciously, I know!' "
