For four years I was a ufo researcher and met with all the big names in the field. Brad is an ass and a liar of conveinience. Stanley means well and has made the best of a failed science career. Hynek was the real deal and was a kind and humble man who knew who lied to him and was just credible enough to be handled with extreme predjudice. While he was diagnosed with a rare and extremely fast brain cancer he showed me his last classification system which involved the movement and visual charateristics for all ufo reports. The only person I wanted to meet but did not get a chance was Jacques Vallee. I did a few radio shows on the subject of ufos but I never had any profit motive, nor did I recieve any money attached to my investigations.



10 years prior to Dr. Mack I hypnotized over 100 people who alledged ufo sightings or encounters. I went out to sites. I had no memorable sightings of my own at that time, except for childhood memories but subsequent to my 4 years of full time study I had six sightings, 2 of which were close and audible and bizarre.



My various conclusions:

highly ionized air prevents seeing many ufos in a hovering stationary position. The craft use vast amounts of electricity. They do make low frequency sound but self canceling waves may prevent it from being heard at a distance. There are 4 primary classifications of ufo craft, cylinder, Dropa saucer, triangle and boomerang. They are intelligently controled.
People who claim abduction from a sleep state are really encountering hypnogogic reverie and temporary sleep paralysis.
The few human abductions that may be true are unproven.

If one day a person with a GPS chip is abducted and filmed in 3 different light wavelengths, it will be the first objective proof of abduction.

Energy gravity and velocity all have a strong effect on time. Time can be overlapped, stretched, accelerated and slowed but human subjective awareness of these events is unusally ignored, justified and excused rather than being truely sensed and "seen" for what it is.

As for the movie 4th Kind, I would need to see all of the session recordings before I could venture an informed opinion.



PS
That indeed is a 'portion' of the photo. The one that is not pasted has two smiling army airmen holding the "creature". The photo you posted is a paste job with two reporter like figures and a background that looks like it includes Russian peasants. Under high mag a jpg will always have distorted boundaries where another image is pasted.

PPSS The History Channel series on ancient ufos has nice pictures but the group of talking "experts" are by in large a big bowl of crap cereal without the prize.
