More than almost any other enthusiasm, ufology can open windows to the incredible richness of Life. Rich Reynolds and Bryan Sentes have been thinking separately, invoking many disciplines, and dialoguing with a civility that others in this field should emulate. They’ve also been listing books for more information. In this lead article Rich ponders whether […]

For some time now Spanish journalist-ufologist Jose Antonio Caravaca has been explicating his theory behind many paranormal “close encounters” as “psychic elaborations arising from the joint interaction between the external agent and the unconscious of the witness,” mediated by the witness’ own culture and experience. Having previously attempted to delineate the nature of the “external […]

UFO reports seem to be a mixture of the rational and the outlandish, and Rich Reynolds’ intentional “shout out” to the movie Forbidden Planet encapsulates the essence of the UFO conundrum. His framing the problem in terms of Jose Antonio Caravaca’s “Distortion Theory” spurs Jose to respond with another attempt at explaining the key motivator […]

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 […]

This “Rich Reynoldsfest” begins with a slightly hotter than lukewarm review of the closing stanza of the History/Tom DeLonge group TTSA collaboration’s first episode. Commenters have clear issues with the episode’s main “wow” factor, and one says that “As with everything else in ufology all you have to do is follow the money.” Rich catches […]

Rich Reynolds rues the Luis Elizondo credentials debate, itself almost a major side-show to the core story of the AATIP and the stunning UFO cases it has studied. “Let’s let the matter(s) play out,” Rich pleads. He adds further perspective in Being Conned…, challenging those who’ve made their minds up, whatever their beliefs upon the […]

Rich Reynolds and correspondents try to sort out what case the first episode of the TTSA/History tv series made for UFO reality. Many commenters debate the articles by Keith Kloor at The Media Loves This UFO Expert Who Says He Worked For An Obscure Pentagon Program. Did He? and Robert Sheaffer at Bad UFOs: Skepticism, […]

Don’t count on any ET revelation as to our own place in the Universe, says Rich Reynolds, negating that possibility for reasons besides the belief that we’ve not, are not, and likely will not be visited by folks from astral zip codes. Ufology, and other hoarier and perhaps more respected fields of study, just do […]

Rich Reynolds hates Facebook, especially for what it seems to do to people, particularly ufologists in this case. He explains why in this article. With The Mathematical Impossibilities [sic] of Extraterrestrial Visitation Rich lays out his case for probabilities being against the notion of ET excursions to Earth. A reader asks what about all those […]

Rich Reynolds poses what a commenter calls “An excellent summary of the UFO paradox.” Pace Roswell, Cape Girardeau, Aztec, and even Dr. Eric Davis, undeniable material evidence of UFO crashes has not come to public light. And while indications that such will happen fairly soon are intriguing, we have heard similar claims many times before. […]
