ByA METAPHYSICAL AUTHOR LOOKS AT THE E.T.s, NOT THE PHENOMENA

Author George C. Andrews wrote in the first chapter of this 1986 book, “Government authorities all over the world continue to deny the reality of UFO phenomena, in spite of obvious evidence which they deliberately ignore or actively suppress. Humanity is not being prepared by its leaders for the shock of confrontation with non-human intelligent beings. Although two major motion pictures (‘Close Encounters’ and ‘E.T.’) have increased public awareness of the subject, they have also paradoxically generated public apathy, since people tend to put them in the same category as ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’: fiction in which danger is vicariously experienced … to provide entertainment… This type of complacent know-nothing attitude is encouraged and perpetuated by those in charge of the news media, who systematically disparage UFOs and those who report them as unworthy of anything but ridicule… However, the support system for this complacent know-nothing attitude has recently been cracked wide open... Never again will government ‘experts’ be able to explain away UFO phenomena in conventional terms with even superficial credibility.” (Pg. 1-2)

He continues, “a book named ‘Clear Intent,’ by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood … provides massive, overwhelming and irrefutable evidence based on the government’s own documents that our highest public officials and the elite of our security and intelligence organizations have been deliberately and persistently lying to tax-paying citizens on the subject of UFOs for the last 39 years… ‘Clear Intent’ does such a masterful jog of using the government’s own documents to prove that UFO phenomena are real that no open-minded person who inspects the assembled evidence is likely to have any further doubt about it. Faced with these disclosures, a complacent facetious attitude can be maintained only by idiots, as the support system for it has eroded away to nothing. ‘Clear Intent’ focuses on UFOs as aircraft, not on the entities that pilot them, so in that sense this book begins where ‘Clear Intent’ leaves off.” (Pg. 2-3)

He adds, “The next time that a government ‘expert’ attempts to explain away a multiple-witness UFO sighting as mass hallucination, remember that these objects have left physical landing traces with specific characteristics that are similar in reports from all over the world. There is now mathematical proof that UFO landing points have intelligently selected, as the number of isosceles triangles occurring in the pattern of these landing points far exceeds what might be expected from random independent events: the probability for the network of reported landing points in France during the UFO wave of 1954 to be due to chance is less than one in ten thousand billions of billions!” (Pg. 9)

He states, “On Sept. 14, 1978, a UFO as big as an ocean liner was witnessed by many thousands of people (including police) traveling all the way from the southern end of Sicily up through the entire length of the Italian peninsula to the northern frontier at the French border. The UFO then returned to hover over Rome during the nights of Sept. 15 and 16. It is no more than an odd coincidence that this was just a fortnight before Pope John-Paul I was found dead under suspicious circumstances, apparently poisoned in the manner of the Borgias while working on a speech he intended to deliver the next day? The text of the speech he had been working on was never made public.” (Pg. 16)

He says, “Speculations concerning extra-terrestrial activities on Earth are scattered through the works of Charles Fort. Most of his references to this subject are quite brief. His typical manner is to bring the subject up, to propose a hypothesis which may or may not be tongue-in-cheek, then after a few comments to change the subject. Almost every time he touches on the idea, he discusses it only in passing rather than going into it at length. Yet he brings it up again and again and again. It is definitely a recurrent theme that runs all through his work.” (Pg. 103)

He concludes, “What are we going to put first: corporate profit margins, or the survival of the human race? Unfortunately, this question has already been answered. Since at this decisive moment in history, the citizens of the United States have seen fit to re-elect by a landslide majority a bellicose Administration that habitually turns a blind eye to pollution of the environment… there is nothing we can do, except to prepare ourselves for Doomsday. There is nothing we can do, except to renew the ancient covenant between the children of the Earth and the children of the stars, each of us sending a telepathic S.O.S. Mayday call for help to save the planet’s biosphere… What is essential is for each of us to send as whole-hearted a call as possible to positively-oriented forms of intelligent life from elsewhere.” (Pg. 255-256)

This is hardly a tool for ‘research’ about UFOs. But it may interest those concerned about the ‘spiritual’ implications of extra-terrestrials.

A+ for weirdness. A for writing style and amount of research. B for the religion and ancient mysteries, we get plenty of that in other books and it rarely connects to the 20th-century abductions, cattle mutilations, etc., not to mention he just copy-and-pasted large swaths of other texts without really editing them. B- for the occasional insane theory, which really isn't necessary with subject matter that is already so strange; such researchers should really stick to their game. F for the whiny politics at the end. Same reason I docked a star for Chariots of the Gods.
