Rich Reynolds interprets the findings of J. Bradley Wigger’s book Invisible Companions in the light of Spanish journalist Jose Antonio Caravaca’s “Distortion Theory” regarding UFO and other paranormal experiences. Commenters note a soft point in Jose’s theory, in relation to multiple instrumented/human tandem UFO observations. Also, trace cases require invocation of a controversial psychic materially […]

Those bemoaning the lack of new theoretical thought in the UFO field should grant Spanish ufologist-journalist Jose Antonio Caravaca some thoughtful consideration. Thus Rich Reynolds argues for Caravaca’s attempt at explaining UFO (and other) “Close Encounters.” Even those with fundamental reservations about elements of the “still being formulated” approach regard this a worthwhile effort.

Caravaca now identifies the “external agent” that interacts with a human observer with the “Collective Consciousness,” itself an offshoot, perhaps remnant, of Jung’s “Collective Unconscious.” This strategy seeks […]

Maybe Caravaca’s external agent is what […]
