These three posts speak to different sorts of groups interacting with humans, for purposes good or ill–at least in the strong beliefs of those who appear in the stories. Hakan Blomqvist describes a cadre of different ordinary people who had lived on Earth and were channeled by psychic medium Mark Probert. Blomqvist says these dead folks offered communications “of a definitely higher intellectual and cultural quality,” and provides examples of such. Blomqvist also discusses hoaxing or confused spirits, an early prediction of “global warming,” and the over-excited and forgetful George Adamski. Courtesy of translator Scott Corrales, we next have Luis Burgos: UMMO’s Agents in Argentina. This is a more focused article retelling the strange story of the heavily publicized “Ummo Affair.” Burgos says this was an “ideal” case–“enough to bring the scientific world to ‘its knees’ once and for all.” But his following observation sounds rather the contrary: The Ummites supposedly displayed a curious symbol on the bottom of their craft, apparently to advertise just who they were. Similarly, the craft of aliens visiting the Earth of John Keel’s suppositions “are even equipped with sirens and beepers to call attention to themselves.” In A Letter to the Lorenzens, May 26, 1966 John makes all sorts of remarkable claims about the visitors and what they’re likely up to. John even remarks, “Now I can understand why some ufologists have ended up babbling to themselves in padded cells.” (WM)
