New York Times Still Soft on UFOs, Lets Blumenthal and Kean Deliver Pro-UFO Propaganda in Feature on the "Truth" About History's "Project Blue Book"

1/17/2019

33 Comments

 
​Since the New York Times turned over prime real estate in the nation’s most prestigious paper to UFO believer Leslie Kean and credulous former Times reporter Richard Blumenthal to reveal the existence of the Pentagon’s UFO investigation program, the paper of record has taken a noticeably soft stance on UFOs and ancient astronauts. The paper has delivered a series of articles casting ancient astronaut theorists and ufologists in a positive light, and this week they did it again, giving Kean and Blumenthal space to spin opinionated pro-UFO propaganda in the guise of telling the “true” story behind the History Channel’s Project Blue Book TV series, based on the 1960s-era U.S. Air Force investigation of flying saucers and centered on its lead investigator, J. Allen Hynek.
​Just a week prior, the Times took money from the History Channel for a wraparound advertisement for Project Blue Book that appeared draped over editions of the Sunday New York Times. It promoted the series with fake newspaper articles about UFOs.
 
Blumenthal and Kean have longstanding connections to the UFO community that that Times has steadfastly refused to disclose to its readers. Kean, for example, is the author of a UFO book, was also the head of an advocacy group lobbying the government for UFO disclosure, and authored puff pieces about how Tom DeLonge’s UFO-and-media company, To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, is “world-changing.” (It has produced nothing of note in its 15 months of existence.) The Times presents her as an objective journalist.
 
In the pair’s latest article, they present a potted history of the real Project Blue Book and its predecessors, but they lard it with the kind of opinionated, pro-UFO views that are starkly out of place, even in the Arts section of the Times, where opinion is to be expected in reviews. The article is framed as a first-person critical review, but is presented as objective historical fact.
 
Blumenthal and Kean commit sins of commission and omission in attempting to depict the UFO phenomenon as frightening, dangerous, and indicative of unearthly powers invading our planet.
 
The authors begin by describing UFOs as an objective threat to national security, calling them “an apparently technological phenomenon that was beyond human control and was not Russian, yet represented an unfathomable potential threat.” Not to be overly pedantic, but the reams of government files on UFOs amply demonstrate that they were fathomable, with documents laying out potential responses to nearly every possible explanation for flying saucers. The authors exaggerate here to give UFOs more weight than the record shows they received.
 
The article carefully and systematically presents nearly every scrap of documentation in government files where some official or another speculated that flying saucers came from another planet, but the article systematically omits nearly all of the massive trove of documents that conclude that this speculation is incorrect. In favoring the minority view so heavily, the authors paint a false picture. While it is true that some Air Force officials, overly credulous of eyewitness reports, speculated on origins outside of the Earth, it is also true that the FBI believed in 1947 that UFOs were largely imaginary and that the extraterrestrial hypothesis had been invented by editor Raymond Palmer to promote the “Shaver Mystery” stories in Astounding Stories: “Raymond Palmer, [Kenneth] Arnold’s employer, was from the start ‘exploiting’ the appearance of the flying discs,” an FBI memo reported, “possibly to enhance the appeal of Shaver’s stories. It is possible, therefore, that the entire flying disc theory was conceived by Palmer and Shaver” (redactions restored). This answer satisfied J. Edgar Hoover, and the Air Force actually shut down the FBI’s debunking of “flying discs,” taking over the investigation and systematically working to keep the UFO story alive in the 1950s and 1960s, a period when documents show that American and Soviet operatives used UFO stories as cover for Cold War military testing and espionage. In sum, the authors deceptively omit alternative explanations to promote a single hypothesis: that UFOs are spacecraft from another world.
 
The trouble is that the people they are interested in didn’t actually believe that.
 
Blumenthal and Kean discuss J. Allen Hynek, the scientific mind behind Project Blue Book and a believer in UFOs, but in describing flying saucers as interplanetary spacecraft, they omitted a key piece of data essential for understanding Hynek’s role in the UFO world: Hynek did not believe UFOs were spacecraft from another world—at least not most of them. As he told Jacques Vallée, he had come to believe that flying saucers were actually poltergeists from another dimension. Blumenthal and Kean emphasize their “research” into the Pentagon’s 2007-2012 UFO investigation program, run in conjunctions with contractor Robert Bigelow and subcontractor Hal Puthoff, a longtime friend of Vallée with whom he jointly developed the interdimensional poltergeist hypothesis in the 1970s, and they similarly omit that Puthoff helped direct that program toward investigating UFOs as poltergeists from other dimensions, a belief that he had inculcated in Bigelow’s team. (Team members have openly discussed this in the media.) This information is extremely relevant to evaluating the “true” history of UFOs when the government operatives in charge literally thought they were chasing ghosts.
 
To see the relevance, consider this paragraph from our authors:
When Blue Book closed in late 1969, the Air Force flatly lied to the American people, issuing a fact sheet claiming that no U.F.O. had ever been a threat to national security; that U.F.O.s did not represent “technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge”; and that there was no evidence that they were “extraterrestrial vehicles.”
​And how do they know it was a lie? The only way to prove that this is a lie is to believe that UFOs are spacecraft rom another world, and that isn’t within the range of available evidence. Nor did Hynek or Puthoff agree with those claims—since both though UFOs to be interdimensional ghosts. So even if you accept the crazy-quilt beliefs of those men who infected the government with extreme UFO beliefs, your conclusion cannot be that of Kean and Blumenthal, since the cuckoo-bananas belief shared by those investigators revolved around poltergeists, not starships.
 
Our authors conclude that the U.S. government is still hiding the truth about UFOs: 
Scientists may know more about the behavior and characteristics of U.F.O.s, and are closer to understanding the physics of how the technology operates, according to A.A.T.I.P. documents and interviews. But the government still makes every attempt to keep investigations and conclusions secret, while denying any involvement to American citizens.
​Parsimoniously, one might argue that both things are true: The government investigates reports of UFOs, but because they are neither spaceships nor space ghosts, they are not actually suppressing the “truth” about space aliens or poltergeists, no matter how many officials believe otherwise. After all, a not insignificant percentage of high-ranking military officials are Evangelical Christians who believe in the Rapture is coming. Their belief, however, doesn’t make it true, even if some government officials think it.

What is the percentage? Where are you getting this information from? What do you consider high ranking?

Likely from the gay/Occupy Wall Street/Antifa press. Which doesn't mean it isn't true. An Air Force Academy Commandant, Brig. Gen. Johnny A. Weida, was a known and problematic proselytizer.

Of course the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and the Naval Academy in Annapolis have long been rivals for the title of "Rape University".

But whaddaya gonna do? "On tonight's 'very special episode' of Last Man Standing Eve Baxter gets raped."

Maybe my priorities are wrong, but I'm more concerned about the raping.

Before such novelties as health and dental, raping was an included necessity in the benefits package. Historically speaking, that is.

William,

DoD surveys estimate that about 40 percent of the US military is Evangelical. My guess would be that the percentage of evangelicals is higher among enlisted ranks and warrant officers than commissioned ranks. I don't know what he means either in terms of not insignificant and high ranking, but the sheer numbers of evangelicals in the military would suggest that there at least some two stars floating around who are into the whole rapture thing.

With no source cited, the percentage can be ignore. This report suggests the actual percentage of evangelicals is significantly lower.

Or one could ignore the chatter from the kiddie table and just google up the DoD survey data in about the same amount of time it would take to type in an Internet address with about 40 different letters, numbers, and other symbols in it if they are interested in one of multiple ESTIMATES from various sources about religiosity in the military.

Well let's see here....I have a vague memory of material similar to that which Mr. Colavito seems also to remember. And a similar lack of a percentage.

Here's a piece in "The American Conservative."

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/old-testament-army/

and here's a piece in "Newsweek."

https://www.newsweek.com/christian-fundamentalists-us-armed-forces-national-security-threat-613428

Lots of older stuff along similar lines but here's just one: A piece about how Evangelical Military Chaplains more-or-less ignoring the ban on using that position to spread their faith.

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4772331

I remember the on-radio version of this piece.

That piece actually does have a chart with a percentage of Evangelicals in the military. It's old though. 2005. "Only 14 percent of the U.S. population is evangelical Christian, compared to 40 percent of the military's active duty personnel. More than 60 percent of military chaplains are evangelicals "

Likely more now, given the content of the other pieces I linked to.

At any rate, that'll get you started.

It's worth noting that military chaplains are commissioned officers with some reaching the rank of colonel or higher if they stick around long enough.

No, it's not worth noting. It's a staff track, not a command track. Musicians enter the Marine Corps Band as sergeants. So effing what?

Funny but I don't see any reference to command authority or lack thereof in Jason's discussion above. I was responding to his very broad assertion about high ranking military ranking officials. Chaplains (as well as medical corps personnel for that matter) with high rank are quite obviously high ranking whether they have command authority or not. Unless Jason wishes to revise his assertion to focus on only those officers with command authority then what I posted is most certainly worth noting. Actually if my comments cause him to revise his assertion then they would still be worth noting. Win-win for me in that regard. Lose-lose for you.

Might want to work on commenting on what people are actually writing rather than what you would like to think they are writing for the sake of creating an argument.

Also worth noting that those entering the USMC band (assuming that your are referring to the President's own as opposed to one of the other Marine Corps bands) receive the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) not Sergeant (E-5).

This has got to be frustrating for you. But keep trying.

And people call Lieutenant Colonels "Colonels" and Rear Admirals Lower Half "Admirals" so what's your point?

And yet the proper and correct term for an E-6 is stll staff sergeant. You've been watching too much Gomer Pyle.

My panties remain surprisingly untwisted over this matter. A newspaper took paid advertising? Stop the presses!!

To me, every article that even mentions flavor-of-the-moment Lin-Manuel Miranda is a "puff piece".

"When Blue Book closed in late 1969, the Air Force flatly lied to the American people, issuing a fact sheet claiming that no U.F.O. had ever been a threat to national security...”

"​And how do they know it was a lie? The only way to prove that this is a lie is to believe that UFOs are spacecraft from another world"

Not true. Counterexample: an unidentified aircraft (UFO) over Area 51 would ipso facto be considered a threat to national security. Not in my mind, but according to the gummint's way of evaluating threats. If the Air Force concealed such an incident that would be a lie of omission. QED.

Exactly. This website used to be a credible source of skepticism when it stuck to Ancient Aliens. It seems to of lost all credibility as nothing but a bunch of uncritical whining these days. As you mentioned, being a threat does not require believing UFOs are spaceships from another world. From the military's perspective, anything they don't understand or know what is , is a threat. Its the very nature of not knowing (ie unidentified) that makes it a de-facto threat in the military's view. One does need even need to venture a guess as to what they are, where they are from, or anything, Its exactly because they are unexplained incidents that makes them a threat. Its sad to see this blog turn from proper skepticism to false or pseudo-skepticism and debunkery with no rational or critical thought behind its grossly inaccurate assertions. Please go back and stick to what you know about , the kind of trash on Ancient Aliens. And leave ufology (ancient aliens isnt ufology, its more a fringe splinter group like the secret space program nutjobs) to the professionals who have actually researched this field and know what they are talking about Mr. Colavito. Unless you dont want anyone to take what you say seriously anymore.

The problem is that we haven't defined "UFO." Using the conventional definition--UNIDENTIFIED flying object--then the authors have not proven their assertion because they have not demonstrated that any specific object that was deemed a national security threat remained unidentified. If it was identified later, as the Air Force maintained (whether you believe them or not), then it wasn't a UFO. If you want to define UFOs differently, then you have to explain why identified objects should be labeled as UFOs.

Nope, sorry. The authors said:

"When Blue Book closed in late 1969, the Air Force flatly lied to the American people, issuing a fact sheet claiming that no U.F.O. had ever been a threat to national security...”

You say "we haven't defined 'UFO'" then YOU PROVIDE A DEFINITION.

" the authors have not proven their assertion because they have not demonstrated that any specific object that was deemed a national security threat remained unidentified."

You are asking the authors to prove that something was never identified. That's proving a negative. This is the part where the original Equalizer would pinch the bridge of his nose.

Jeff Knox,
1/18/2019 04:26:39 pm

Again, you should stick to a field you actually have a clue about. Or perhaps even just some classes on logic and critical thinking would help. It's hard to believe someone as educated as you is so utterly dense. UFO has a definition, and you said it. It doesnt have anything to do with aliens. And by definition, an identified object IS NOT a UFO. I mean, duh. That is completely clear to even a fifth grader. Are you seriously suggesting the military has never come up with an unknown? That they have identified every single incident they looked into? That is patently false and they dont claim they identified everything. They have always stated there has been a small portion of cases after thorough investigation yielded no explanation or identification. Blue Book alone had 701 unknowns. And they are true unknowns, not just cases lacking enough information to make a proper identification. Those were classified seperately. So no, the air force does not maintain they identified everything. Go read Special report 14 or at least a summary. I mean wow, been sad to see you fall to little more then a whining troll. Stick to ancient history, you were great at that.

You either believe in UFO's or you don't. Just because this site gleefully looks down it's nose at those of us who do believe doesn't make it right. I can say if you don't believe something is going on in the atmosphere then you are naive to say the least. We are but a speck in the universe. When we die, no one will immortalize us for our self grandeur.

I don't believe in outer space but rather, INNER space.Different dimensions. What we call UFO's are nothing but glimpses into another dimension. That's Biblical. The scoffing can commence.

We all believe in UFO's. Nothing out of the ordinary with unidentified flying objects. They are simply awaiting definition. Without definition, some speculate that they are alien crafts of some sort. That's where the disbelief comes in. But giving definition to things you don't understand is all too common. See the bogeyman, for instance.

Joe has it right - there are things flying around in our atmosphere that are simply unidentified - at least for now. Jason is also correct that the DOD and CI have used, and likely continue to use the UFO controversy to cover whatever shenanigans they get up to.

Joe and I would likely disagree wrt the nature of at least some fraction of the total number of unidentifieds. I happen to believe that certain of them will turn out to be quite strange rather than prosaic as I suspect Joe believes. That's all good though. We'll find out - maybe!

Jeff - sorry to be pedantic, but on at least two occasions you wrote something like this "....he wouldnt of done.." That should be "wouldn't HAVE done. You used "of" in place of have e.g. "shouldn't of" instead of shouldn't have. Sorry - it's just a bit glaring and weakens your otherwise relatively well-written comments. Thanks.

I usually do, and go back and reread my post to correct errors. Unfortunately i see no way to edit comments on here. Sometimes the autocorrect changes things i never meant to type. Sometimes I'm typing on my phone (like now, and for all the comments I've made) and things get messed up easier. Sometimes I'm just exhausted and not thinking clearly. But thanks, I'll try and keep an eye out for mistakes like that.

Ha...ha...ha this blog is turning into the weird guy on the dorm floor ranting about his world view.

Yeah let's not have people familiar with the UFO subject write the articles. Let's have regular journalists that have three other stories they are working on suddenly understand the depth of the subject.

Oh but then we have to give a whole course on UFOs to please JC. Why do they omit things? Every newspaper and digital aricle omits things...it's called keeping the word count manageable and reader interested. Every detail doesn't always help paint the main theme of an article with limited space. Come on, nitpicker...you as a blog writer should know better.

Propaganda! Ha...the NYT editors were there the whole time. Keen and Blumenthal are one Google search away from having their nefarious background and plans discovered! Such fools! Lol...

WOW. I was hoping to see a lot of feedback on PROJECT BLUE BOOK but it fell so quickly all around the last paragraph of this article? Anyway, this is the first time I have ever encountered poltergeists in relation to UFOs. That is extremely interesting. Although I take a semi stand on them being fallen angels. But my interest lies in the fact that I have watched training exercises in the sky over my area for years. Drone testing was done here and before this - The newly, at the time, unveiled helicopter. When I first saw it I thought it was a UFO because of the way it moved in the sky. But even now something new is over the river. At first we called them Christmas trees when we saw the lights because they spin and have red blue green and white lights. Recently one very large ship of some sort has been coming closer and lower. One night it was so low I could see the windows around the ship. The lights are brilliant LED type lights. It is saucer in shape and has a brilliant light from below. What was strange to me was that there was some type of ship off to the right of it and the light shining from this saucer type ship lit up the other ship which had an indistinguishable shape. It looked copper colored and no light was on it. Four days ago there were many of them. There was the very large one with a smaller one, both had bright lights. The other eight ships stayed small and not as bright.
Sometimes we laugh when we watch them come up because it is as if humans are learning to operate them and the ships will move and funny lines of acent and suddenly just send as if someone has lost control. Regardless they are in our airspace, our atmosphere, and because of where they are in my area, someone knows who and what they are. If we had power over them something would be done about them being so close to our bases!
Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wander WHAT YOU ARE?...
I am enjoying the program. Doesn’t mean I believe anything or everything that I hear or see. Ha.
I am desperately trying to find a way to capture a better photo of these things. They are difficult to photograph.
