Earth Vs. Flying Saucers With Cloudbusters

Critics skeptical of the Roswell flying saucer crash story often claim that interest in the event dropped off immediately after its initial media flash in 1947, only to be revived in the 1980s by unreliable UFO researchers seeking to profiteer from a myth of their own making. I have often contradicted this assertion by pointing out that the scientist Wilhelm Reich paid a visit to Roswell in 1955 and made clear references to aliens in relation to the town in his final book, Contact With Space. It is an unusual book primarily documenting Reich and his assistants using beam cannons to clash with flying saucers--in real life, not on the silver screen.

Researchers have slowly been accumulating Roswell references in movies and other pop culture forms to support the idea that the incident had more of a cultural impact on pre-1980s pop culture than previously has been presupposed. The little Roswell grey aliens appear in a mid-1960s episode of the anime cartoon Prince Planet, for instance. Recently, a 1951 wristwatch ad from the Hamilton Corporation was discovered that referred to the weather balloon explanation for flying saucers, an explanation offered only for Roswell in 1947 until adopted by the Robertson UFO investigation panel of 1952. Another obvious example often escapes notice; however, that again ties the tale back to Wilhelm Reich. It involves the famous 1956 Ray Harryhausen movie Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers.

In that movie, aliens attack the earth in flying saucers and in a few instances the aliens hobble out onto the surface. The creatures look a bit like roll-on deodorant cans with stiff arms and legs. The costumes were used briefly in one other movie, 1961’s The Creation of Humanoids, most recently broadcast following an episode of cable TV’s The Walking Dead series. In Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers, the costumes’ rounded helmets with no features conceal the aliens’ real form until one is killed and his roll-cap removed. The alien looks like a Roswell grey.

Wilhelm Reich had Ruidoso, New Mexico as his destination in 1955 for an overnight stay on his way to Tuscon, Arizona. Passing through Roswell—and Stanton Friedman often makes the point at lectures that few just “pass through” Roswell’s out of the way location—Reich clearly was looking for signs of aliens. In Contact With Space, he writes: “Although it was very hot as we neared Roswell, New Mexico, no OR flow [OR was Reich’s abbreviation for orgone, or natural earth energy] was visible on the road, which should have been shimmering with ‘heatwaves’. Instead, DOR [Reich’s abbreviation for “deadly orgone radiation”, which he believed came from the exhaust of UFOs].”

Reich’s concern about the environmental impact of UFOs stemmed from experiences he had in his lab in Rangeley, Maine called Orgonon. In 1951 he first discovered the DOR business by putting a milligram of radium into one of his orgone boxes, an invention of his designed to harness the natural earth energy. It resulted in highly polluted air around the lab, causing fauna to wilt and animals to become ill. Strange red UFOs appeared in the sky over Rangeley. In response to all this, Reich came up with another invention, the “cloudbuster,” a cannon mounted on the back of a truck that concentrated and redirected orgone, which was aimed and fired at the UFOs, causing them to disappear. In the following years, he brought these devices with him to Tucson, Arizona, passing through Roswell, and did battle with UFOs there.

That happened in real life. It’s an obscure story to many now but apparently a paradigm for the major Hollywood science fiction of the time. Reich’s cloudbuster battles with UFOs are virtually reproduced in Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers. Instead of orgone, earth's scientists develop a sonar canon, but they are mounted onto trucks and directed at the space ships in the same way Reich did it. And the movie was released just shortly after the end of Reich’s desert UFO adventure, so it can’t be said that Reich took his ideas from a fanciful movie. In fact, it seems quite the reverse.

The controversies about Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers in the UFO community relate to Donald Keyhoe's request that his name be removed from the credits following his discovery that it would be a “fictional” movie (see here for details). But was it fictional? The movie may have had little relation to Keyhoe’s book at the time, but did it have another uncredited real life analog?

The Dark Side of Flying Saucers - Are We Dealing With Something Evil?

Sean Casteel on Tue, 03/01/2011

The mystery of just who is piloting the UFOs witnessed around the world since ancient times has many so-called “solutions.” Working from the available evidence, one can argue for any number of interpretations of the phenomenon, and those interpretations run the gamut from the UFOs being an early harbinger of the Second Coming of Christ to an invasion by cold-blooded, methodical aliens bent on colonizing our planet by the skillful combining of our DNA with theirs.

There is also this less frequently heard interpretation: that the present day UFO and alien abduction phenomenon are simply a modernized, more technological manifestation of the same demons that have tormented and sought to manipulate mankind since the beginning of time. In other words, the gray aliens are nothing new and their basic malevolent intent has never changed.

This statement, by no less an authority than Lord Hill-Norton, the late five-star admiral and the former head of the British Ministry of Defence, helps to put that perspective into focus: “UFOs are essentially a religious matter rather than a military threat, and furthermore there is certainly a degree of psychic involvement in almost every case. Quite often, however, such experiences are definitely antithetical to orthodox Christian beliefs.”

I recently took part in the writing of a new book on this darker side of flying saucers. The book is called “Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer.” A portion of the book is a reprint of an earlier book, circa sometime in the 1950s, by Cecil Michael, with which the later anthology shares its title. In the book, Michael describes a hellish abduction experience in which he visits the domain of the damned and is somehow miraculously returned and left coherent enough to write about the experience. Michael’s take on the subject is exactly the opposite of the majority of 1950s contactees, most of whom describe pleasant-looking, blond, Nordic aliens who compassionately warn mankind of his potential coming doom through nuclear warfare and environmental decay.

Given that Michael is for his time a dissenting, minority opinion, one would think it easy enough to dismiss what he is saying. But such is not the case. As all the updated material that was poured into “Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer” so ably demonstrates, there are a great many researchers and abductees of our more current age who also believe that the UFO phenomenon is Satanic and demonic.

Two of the more prominent names in UFO research, the late John Keel and the celebrated Jacques Vallee (the character of LaCombe in the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” was modeled after Vallee), both arrived at the conclusion that there is a spiritual, paranormal aspect to flying saucers that is too often denied by nuts-and-bolts researchers who see only the appearance of aliens from another planet in physical ships. But there is much about typical UFO encounters that blends rather fuzzily with time-honored stories of demons and run-ins with the “little people.” It is that opening of one’s self to the paranormal and psychic components that makes the overall experience so terrifying to so many.

And the updated book does indeed present some terrifying anecdotes as it winds its way through its exhaustive treatment of the subject. One section of the book deals with the Jinn, the demons of Islamic mysticism, and makes a case for their overlapping with modern aliens. The Jinn are a morally complex form of demon, with some of them laboring to do good in the world, even “confessing” to the truth of the Koran.

Contributor Adam Gorightly deals with sexual encounters between humans and aliens, and discusses how “the Great Beast” Aleister Crowley used hallucinogenic drugs along with sexual “magick” to invoke otherworldly entities. Gorightly lumps together the sexual aspects of our present understanding of the alien abduction experience with ancient myths about demons as sexual predators in his chapter on “Psychic Space Age Vampires.” Meanwhile, author Tim Swartz recounts stories of human mutilation at the hands of the UFO occupants, one incident of which took place on a military base in Texas in 1956. The notion that the aliens/demons may feed on the energy contained in human blood and on human misery in general is also explored.

My own contributions to the book include a general overview of the beliefs of the aforementioned Keel and Vallee, as well as the case for the phenomenon’s wickedness made by pilot and researcher John Lear, the son of the man who invented the Lear Jet. When one sees the beguiling light show of an approaching UFO, Lear advises one to “run like hell” and not be suckered in by the beauty of the ships or in any way to assume their true demeanor is a friendly one. According to Lear, the aliens just want to suck out the marrow of our souls, and our fear and humiliation is nourishing to them.

I also interviewed a retired pastor named Tom Horn, who tells a story of a real-life encounter with a demonic entity that was witnessed by several members of his congregation. A rebellious teenager who had fallen under the spell of satanic heavy metal music appeared to become “possessed” and went charging at Horn only to run head-on into some kind of invisible force field and drop like a sack of potatoes. Horn believes he was singled out for the attack by the demon because of his position of authority as pastor, and testifies further that all who witnessed the apparent miracle were very shaken up and knew that there is a living God who watches over such things.

Horn very much believes that the UFO phenomenon is demonic for the most part, but he also acknowledges that his sister is an abductee, which creates a moral dilemma for him that he continues to ponder along with the many other spiritual issues that have long troubled him. He allows as how some of the UFO activity in the Bible can be put in the righteous category and that the present day abducting gray aliens may somehow stand outside normal notions of sin and wrongdoing. The phenomenon is not easy to categorize in everyday terms of black and white, even for those of devout Christian faith.

I also contributed a short chapter in which I discuss the views of “Communion” abductee Whitley Strieber and “Intruders” researcher Budd Hopkins. Strieber, at the time my interview with him was conducted, said it was very easy for him to equate the gray aliens with demons, and that the terror and the misery of the experience made it impossible to distinguish between them. Hopkins, on the other hand, said the moral complexity of the abduction phenomenon made it impossible to draw conclusions about the aliens’ inherent good or evil. All we can really do, according to Hopkins, is try to pick it up by the human end of it and examine the way it’s affected people, apart from any premature conclusions about the moral character of the abductors.

Meanwhile, there is no lack of scary stories to be told about the wicked aspects of UFO lore. In an interview with Timothy Beckley, the book’s editor and publisher, Christopher O’Brien discusses the folklore surrounding creatures called “skin-walkers” in the mysterious San Luis Valley, which spans parts of Colorado and New Mexico and has been a UFO hotspot for several decades. The term “skin-walker” is interchangeable with “shape shifter,” and essentially means a creature that can change his appearance from human to animal and back again.

“According to traditional knowledge,” O’Brien says, “skin-walkers are able to read a victim’s thoughts. They are also thought to be able to mimic any human or animal sound. This ability is sometimes used to draw unwitting victims outside by calling in the voice of a person known to them or using a familiar animal sound. Don’t ever look into and/or lock eyes with a suspected skin-walker. This will enable his will to enter you and take over all your motor functions and make you do and say things that are completely beyond your control. It takes the voodoo zombie thing to a whole new level!”

What is the government connection to all this? How do the intelligence community and the Pentagon view the good-versus-evil-of-the-aliens question? Noted author Nick Redfern alleges, in an interview with Tim Beckley about Redfern’s book “Final Events,” that the government long ago concluded that the UFOs were of a demonic nature and there was little to be done in terms of protecting the general public from the flying saucer devils. They began to develop a plan to convert the entire population to Evangelical Christianity so that they could at least wage a kind of spiritual battle for their immortal souls. Tom Horn, who I referred to earlier in this review, calls such people “prayer warriors,” saying, “Fervent prayer by the righteous would be the battering rams that could push through that demonic oppression.” Whether the government will ever go public with the prayerful strategy is another question entirely.

The classic demons of Christianity as well as zombies, shape-shifters, hellhounds, vampires, succubi and incubi – “Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer” has it all. (Coauthor Tim Beckley believes that the ghosts who trouble the haunted are also part of that same list of manifestations of “alien” evil.) There exists nowhere else such a complete, exhaustive study of the evil aspects of the UFO phenomenon. Drawing on a large collection of contributing authors, every angle of wickedness is covered in remarkable depth and thoroughness. It is also packed with photos and interesting sidebar material and will keep the reader absorbed throughout its 300 pages.

I would like to add, however, that I personally believe the UFO phenomenon and even alien abduction are not simply demonic. It would take a whole other book to make the argument for righteous aliens to as complete a degree as “Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer” argues for the evil interpretation, but in the meantime you can check out my earlier books “UFOs, Prophecy and the End of Time,” “Signs and Symbols of the Second Coming” and “The Excluded Books of the Bible.” In any case, it certainly can’t hurt for us to pray for God’s mercy on our souls, which you will definitely want to consider doing once you’ve read “Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer.” The cover alone, with artwork by Tim Swartz, is enough to put a scare into you, so please approach this book with caution.

Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer

Monday, January 24, 2011

If you read my Final Events book, this is a new book you'll definitely want to get hold of: Round Trip to Hell in a Flying Saucer, for which I was extensively interviewed on the data contained in Final Events.

Published and edited by Tim Green Beckley, the book delves deep into the occult, satanic and paranormal aspects of Ufology. Here's the product info on the book:

DOES SATAN DRIVE A FLYING SAUCER?

ARE DEMONS KIDNAPPING HUMANS AND PERFORMING SADISTIC EXPERIMENTS ON THEM?

IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BLOOD SACRIFICES AND ANIMALS AS WELL AS HUMAN MUTILATIONS ATTRIBUTED TO EXTRATERRESTRIALS?

CAN ALIEN LIFE FORMS SHAPE SHIFT, TURNING INTO HUMANS, GROWING ORBS, FIREBALLS, OR EVEN MANIFEST THEMSELVES AS PHYSICAL 'HARDWARE' TO FOOL US INTO BELIEVING THEY ARE MECHANICAL DEVICES?

It's the dirty little secret of UFOlogy -- something that only a few insiders dare discuss amongst themselves. For example, Lord Hill-Norton, the late five-star Admiral and the former head of the British Ministry of Defence, believed strongly in the existence of UFOs. But he did not see them in a positive light, professing instead in his privately printed UFO Concern Report: "UFOs are essentially a religious matter rather than a military threat and furthermore there is certainly a degree of psychic involvement in almost every case. Quite often, however, such experiences are definitely antithetical to orthodox Christian beliefs."

Journalist and author of "The Mothrman Prophecies" (made into a film starring Richard Gere) John A. Keel was adamant when he stated: "... The UFOs do not seem to exist as tangible manufactured objects. They do not conform to the accepted natural laws of our environment... The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon."

Other researchers of supernatural phenomena have noted that...The casting of magical spells, the performance of occult rituals and a ceremony to conjure up spirits are sometimes attempted by witnesses prior to a UFO appearing in their proximity.

Alien Abduction Entities

Alien Abduction Entities
Brooke Windsor

The alien beings who are known to abduct humans in order to perform forced medical examinations (particularly revolving around the human reproductive system) have been widely reported since the 1950s, even though previous abductions from the late 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s are acknowledged as the earliest abduction stories. Some ufologists theorize though that alien abductions are even older but are misconstrued as encounters with gods or angels or even mythical beasts seen in ancient mythology of many cultures around the globe. Even though these abductions span time and geography, several common elements tend to always emerge. The abductees who survive these encounters have been shown to have the emotional impact close to that of post traumatic stress seen in former combat soldiers, those who have been sexually abused, and people who have undergone physical and mental torture. The types of aliens who carry out these abductions seem to fall in particular types of categories, showing several definite alien species who visit Earth.

Greys

This species of aliens are named from their skin tone, usually a light gray or blue gray color. This race is certainly the most widely associated with abductions as they make up such a large number of the entities reported by the abductees. Greys make up 90% of the cases in Canada, 67% in Brazil, 50% in Australia, and 48% in the United States. The species was mentioned in the 1863 article by H.G. Wells called “Man of the Year Million” whereby they are described as a human-like race with gray skin that had stunted bodies but big heads. This description is similar to all abduction stories featuring Greys. Most abductees describe Greys as having elongated bodies with a small chest and severe lack of muscle definition to the point of having their skeletal structure be visible. The proportion of their limbs are generally depicted as different from that of humans—such as their arms and legs being the same length and evenly divided in half at their knees and elbows. Greys have no visible hair on their bodies, not even their heads or face which are abnormally large in comparison to their bodies. They are seen as having no outer ears or noses, possessing of slits or holes in these positions. Their mouths are equally small and slit-like. To match their proportionally large heads though, their eyes make up for the available space as they tend to be quite big, almond shaped, and completely black with no iris or pupil.

Nordic

Nordic aliens are so named because of the fact they resemble the Nordic peoples of Europe. Being tall, statuesque, and blond these aliens have also been called Aryans as well. They tend to only take part in abductions in Europe and Latin America—particularly in Great Britain where Nordic aliens take up to 80% of the abduction stories. Only a handful of these Nordic aliens ever visit the United States or Canada though. Occasionally, in circles of ufologists, they are known as Pleiadeans or Errans since they are said to travel to Earth from the Pleiades star cluster in the Taurus constellation. However, early encounters with this race, such as the abductee George Adamski, claimed these Nordic aliens were from Venus or another planet in our own Solar System. These aliens are always very human-like in their appearance with very fair skin, colorless lips, and very light blond or even white hair. The differences in accounts about the Nordic appearance generally comes about their eyes. While some abductees claim their eyes to be shockingly pale blue, others have described them as green, violet, yellow, red, or even pink. However, they are always tall—at least six feet and even up to eight feet. Nordics are also generally quite attractive as well, pulling away from the slightly creepy look of Greys. They are generally more likely to be male than female. This attractive humanoid appearance has led some ufologists to believe these creatures are actually guardian angels rather than extraterrestrials.

Reptilians

Oddly enough, reptilians are one of the largest groups of alien abductors in cases from the United States even though most people automatically assume that Greys are the most active species in the United States. These creatures are seen as a mix between humanoid and reptile traits. Reptilians are reported as sometimes having tails but sometimes being tailless but are always bipedal with rather large heads and covered in scales (even though the color of these scales varies from story to story). They are always seen as malicious and negative beings. British writer David Icke theorizes the Reptilians come from the Alpha Draconis star system but a small contingency of these creatures are currently living in underground lairs on Earth in attempt to take full control of the human race or cause its downfall. Icke feels that Reptilians maintain their control over our world and their holdings in the universe through the fear and negative feeling they can generate and upon which they feed. Reptilians use negative energy as food and in order to feed themselves spark conflicts, particularly wars among other sentient species such as humans. Icke feels that Reptilians have infiltrated major governments around the world to achieve their objectives of creating negativity on Earth. In some abduction stories, Reptilians go so far in their evil exploits as to drink blood of their human victims as well in order to keep up their superhuman strength or force. The oldest encounter story featuring Reptilians comes from 1967 when a Nebraskan police officer claims to have been abducted by humanoid beings that appeared to be slightly reptilian with a winged serpent pattern on the left side of their chests.

Little Green Men

This type of alien has been one of the most ridiculed as it is commonly seen in cartoons or as a costume at alien conventions. However, these diminutive green humanoid forms have also been thought to be a subspecies of Greys. Originally these “little green men” were believed to be from Mars and were frequently dubbed “Martians.” Modern ufologists feel this was a past misconception and the little green men were simple mistaken identities for a green-tinted Grey. This term is commonly used to make fun of alien specialists and ufologists and in common culture to poke fun of any requirement that seems ridiculous. The fact still remains that early accounts of alien abductions still feature the coined term “little green men,” particularly the Kelly-Hopkinsville sightings in 1955 in which two rural Kentucky men claimed to have encountered a greenish humanoid creature that was roughly three to four feet tall. Newspapers in that immediate area were the first to use the term “little green men” when writing about the story and are probably the source of the disbelief and mocking around that term when in fact it could be a legitimate extraterrestrial species related to the Greys. Flying saucer sightings that were so predominant in the 1950s usually called the alien drivers of these objects as being small and greenish. To completely dismiss these sightings because of the ridicule such a description has met in the public eye is completely unfair to the viewers and abductees.

Flying Saucer-Shaped Airship Could Carry Cargo.
Tracy Staedter

Oct. 04, 2010 -- Shipping awkwardly large, heavy objects -- think buildings and ships -- crosscountry is not the easiest thing to do. Usually, the items are broken down into smaller pieces and transported by rail and then transferred to a truck that can handle wide loads. That takes time, fuel and depending on the load's size, assistance from local law enforcement. Flying objects via airplane or heavy-transport helicopter isn't easier because of flight and weight restrictions.

An Australian company called Skylifter thinks they may have a solution: a saucer-shaped dirigible that can be flown directly between two points without stopping traffic. Their helium-filled airship is round, instead of the cigar shape familiar above baseball games, eliminating a front or back that needs to be pointed in a particular direction. This makes wind direction less important; the ship can use whatever's available.

It's also flat, instead of big and round like a balloon, which makes it easier to steer. Upon landing, the surface area acts like a parachute, making the vehicle more stable. Stability also comes from the position of the load, which dangles enclosed on a platform below the ship, shifting the center of gravity to a lower point.

A full-sized Skylifter should measure nearly 500 feet in diameter, and should be able to haul 150 ton as far as 1,240 miles away at about 50 miles per hour. Right now, the vehicle is still in a smaller, prototype stage to demonstrate how it works. But scan the horizons about three years from now and you may just see flying saucers hauling payloads across the sky.
