If you’ve been following the continuing 1960s story of John Keel’s proxy association with supposed aliens, you will find this anguished, challenging, and ultimately not mailed, letter a revealing summary of Keel’s mental state. He is suspicious and frightened of the “aliens,, despondent about humanity, and feels trapped by this “dark game.” Most especially, he […]

Kevin Randle disposes of a recently-appearing Roswell “eyewitness story” as a revived Frank Kaufmann variant. Randle’s actually having “been there” and investigated the 1947 “crash site”, plus his knowledge of military protocol, are key to his fast and sure debunking of this tale. David Halperin employs his different perspective regarding another Roswell witness-claimant in A […]

Syracuse New Times Columnist Cheryl Costa looks at a theory of late ufologist John Keel.Syracuse New TimesThe thing we must keep in mind is that in the late 1960s and early 1970s, UFO reports were mostly collected from newspaper clippings. At the time, having access to several hundred reports was a big deal. The flaw […]

Back to the UFO soap opera. John seems to have made enough sense of the whirlpool of unreality surrounding him to write a letter to Jim Moseley, outlining his suspicions about being “framed” so that his important discoveries will be discounted. He warns that Jim’s “stupid little friend, Gladys, has unwittingly gotten herself involved.” Well, […]

It’s July 17, 1967, and as site minder Doug Skinner notes regarding John Keel, things are “obviously getting to him.” He’s carefully following the Pope Paul VI Turkish excursion, in light of an assassination prediction from the Visitors; he’s getting warnings about his own life; he’s certain that his phone is being monitored; and he’s […]

The saga continues. Two “John Keel” installments ago we noted a long and sometimes almost lyrical letter John had written to the entities Apol and Agar on July 12, 1967. John says here that his contact Jaye Paro read him a message from the two “indicating that they had received and understood” his letter, but […]

John Keel couldn’t get a break back in the 1960s. He’s got the “beings” Apol and Agar and bothering him, Jaye Paro and the local contactees filling his head with all sorts of nonsense, “Princess Moon Owl” of whatever background in the mix, and, last but not least, other humans trying to test his credulity […]

Back to the 1960s…John Keel continues to frighten himself by solo drives at Mount Misery, and Paro reports that she’s done the same and come upon a whole gaggle of people who look physically like Agar and her buddy Apol. Keel feels he may be making some progress, for Agar answers a series of questions […]

Back in 1967, John Keel got two outstandingly bizarre messages from the supposed aliens. The most intelligible information in the handwritten piece sounds like some kind of warning: “They’re going to Twi Twi you leader.” Check the “Comments” section for some enlightenment here. The second item seems a takeoff of the New Testament Gospel of […]

Nothing better to usher in the New Year than another installment in the continuing saga of John Keel, Jaye Paro, and the contactees. Blog guardian Doug Skinner provides an intro to the series for those new to the fun, and explicates some of the references in this particular episode of weirdness. And here’s another titillating […]
