John Keel's interesting explanation of extraterrestrials
In the 1970's author and investigative journalist, John A.Keel, released a number of intriguing books that explored the possibilities involving just who or what the supposed occupants of UFO's really were. His findings based upon many sources of information from old newspaper clippings to ancient religious texts gave him a unique perspective. This, he passed onto his avid readers like myself.
Keel was not convinced that all reports of UFO abductions and sightings were necessarily linked to civilizations from other parts of the universe. He tended to associate a good number of "Close Encounters Of The Fourth Kind" to the same phenomena as the paranormal and that of hauntings, stating that these occurrences all had many of the same common factors.
He went as far as to attiribute the illuminations that had been experienced by such religious founders as Muhamed of Islam and Joseph Smith of Mormonism as being examples of these types of visitations. Both Muhamed and Joseph Smith claimed to have been visited by a brilliantly glowing entity they thought was an angel. Upon encountering this entity both men collpased and lost consciousness. Upon awakening, they both were possessed with a burning drive to establish a new religion and became the oracle of their recently established faith. Malcom X reported that as he sat in a jail cell in lieu of one of many arrests for protesting, glimpsed the sudden appearance of a being that materialized seated next to him.
John Keel established that man has been visited by such strange entities as "elementals". Having been mentioned in ancient text thousands of years ago, these little known beings were thought to appear to those men at crucial times in their struggles of war and leadership. They were capable of imparting either valuable knowledge or hoax that could topple any human who listened to them and acted upon their advise as these elementals could be mischievious as well.
According to John Keel, Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States was pondering just what logo or icon to inscribe upon the first US dollar bills when he was approached by a stranger dressed in black, who gave him the artwork of the pyramid and the third eye. The "Man In Black" advised Jefferson that America would be the nation of the "Third Eye". This would obscure incident was responsible for the symbol we see on our currency. John Keel spent much of his life in pursuit of the unattainable explanation behind what he often described as the "Broken Record In The Sky" of deception that this mysterious phenomena often bestows upon the bewildered and stunned, who report sightings of ghosts, demons, aliens from other worlds, and other fascinating visions that lead us down the road of the unknown, yet yield little insight into their origin.
