The Incredible Louisiana Connection to the Roswell UFO Incident  News Radio 710 KEEL

Sitemeister Doug Skinner gives us three more installments of John Keel’s “private summation of his conclusions (as of 1967) about the UFO puzzle.” Bear in mind that these were indeed not John’s “Final Answers” to the conundrum. Part 5 describes the appearance, constitution, and quirky/dangerous habits of the Androids. The Answer (6) continues John’s romp […]

Doug Skinner offers a series of insights into the early (1967) conclusions John Keel had made about the weird subject that so enmeshed him. Be sure to keep in mind Skinner’s introduction in this first installment as you go through these posts. Skinner also elaborates upon a couple of points in the Comments after the […]

Several very significant John Keel productions begin with this account of Air Force pronouncements upon the Men in Black. problem. In his 1966 Wrap-up: The Year of the Saucers Keel’s run-down of that UFO-rich time has a “You-are-there” quality particularly resonant with those who lived through the period. A comment to Air Force “A” remarks […]

Reactions are coming in for the new Jacques Vallee-Paola Harris book about a 1945 New Mexico crash-retrieval. Barbara Fisher wonders why some people are upset about Vallee’s interest in this case. She notes the folkloric aspects to the accounts. In Crash/Retrieval Syndrome as Visionary Rumour or Folklore Bryan Sentes responds to the Fisher article and […]

Here’s the first of a three-part address summing up Keel’s thoughts on Life, The Universe, and Everything. John attacks “wishful thinking” behind flying saucers and religion in general.

In Part 2 Keel sees no hope in […]

John Keel site master Doug Skinner presents more writings from the late and very controversial American journalist-ufologist. Skinner thinks the resume may have been a first draft and links to “a bit more reliable” one at John Keel in 1965. Keel’s Report from Hollywood (2) is aptly described by Skinner as “a melancholy reflection on […]

March 25th would have been John Keel’s 90th birthday, and Keel site-minder Doug Skinner posts a picture of Keel as a boy. Government bibliographer Catoe admonishes John in A Letter From Lynn Catoe, December 14, 1967. The letter reveals someone concerned about the way Keel seems to be going, and incidentally gives us a sense […]

Here’s an interesting “Dear John” letter in which John Keel tries to get an invite from John Nebel to promote his new anti-superhero book. A Letter to June Larson, August 20, 1966 has Keel back on the UFO trail, but both letters mention John’s upcoming articles for Playboy and True magazines–neither of which articles were […]
