The Dark Vision of Don Worley – Hakan Blomqvist's Blog

Hakan Blomqvist tells a balanced story about a ufologist whose core views in some ways sharply varied with his own. The result: a revealing example of the results from differing approaches to a problem uncomfortable for many ufologists. Don Worley (1921- 2018) and John Keel (1930-2009), says Hakan, dealt in many of the same UFO-peripheral areas and “in a certain sense they also arrived at similar conclusions regarding the intelligences behind the phenomena.” John Keel site manager Doug Skinner offers some Correspondence with Joseph Wershba. “I am not a ufo-nut, but am a comedy writer gone wrong” is one of the lighter moments in a fairly angry missive to the writer/producer of CBS’ 1966 program UFO: Friend, Foe, or Fantasy? Keel’s claim to be “in possession of the full facts” and touting his upcoming 30,000-word article in Playboy sound a little hollow now. A Letter from June Larson, May 30, 1966 furnishes an interesting contrast. Larson adopts a moderate approach regarding John’s feeling inundated by her news clippings, as well as John’s animus towards NICAP’s role in “this confused and somewhat ‘off-beat’ subject.” (WM)
