Edith Nicolaisen and Doomsday Prophecies – Hakan Blomqvist's Blog

Being a Contactee in the ’50s and ’60s wasn’t totally fun. That’s one takeaway from Hakan Blomqvist’s portrayal of a darker aspect to Danish New Age Swedish language publisher Edith Nicolaisen. This is another fascinating look at the many-sided, brilliant, and we now find troubled, figure and the movement she promoted. With The Reeves Papers (2) we continue John Keel’s perhaps unpublished article on “two sheets of supposedly alien writing reported by contactee John Reeves.” (For the first installment, see The Reeves Papers (1).) In installment #2, Keel identifies the first sheet as a “patent hoax,” but he’s much more hopeful about the second one. John lists some features his so-called “silent contactees” note about “the Ufonauts” that one can see could support Keel’s beliefs the saucer-folk may not be ETs. The Reeves Papers (3) returns to the notion, brought up initially in the first installment, that “the UFOs might be using a system of symbols based upon the Bliss-Reiser concepts” and goes some way to explain those ideas and Keel’s speculation. The Reeves Papers (4) acknowledges that the whole of those papers could be a hoax, but explains how “an unexpected set of circumstances” militates against their outright rejection. In its own way, this matter of “UFO occupant” writing rivals for strangeness much of the Long Island contactee files Keel site manager Doug Skinner has given us over the past couple of years. (WM)
