The UFO Frenzy Continues

5/26/2021

A few days ago, Jacques Vallée and Paola Harris released their much-hyped new book, Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret, the one that Chris Mellon and Brandon Fugal and a squad of UFO celebrities promised would bring the goods and change ufology forever. That didn’t happen. The thinly sourced book offered meandering anecdotes from two old men who claimed to have seen a crashed avocado-shaped spaceship as children in 1945 and their nearly as ancient cousin who claimed to have played with the wreckage that the pair kept around the house. The much-hyped tests of supposed wreckage provided no real results, and Vallée speculated, ludicrously, that UFOs aren’t extraterrestrial but instead are “gifts” or “warnings” from a non-human intelligence that manifests as a universal consciousness, purposely sent and crashed on backwater farms to help us level up in some bizarre cosmic game.

And that was only the second stupidest thing a member of the UFO club did this week. Lue Elizondo, fresh off his appearances on ABC’s This Week and CNN’s The Lead warning of the dire national security implications of the UFO threat, decamped to Josh Gates’s paranormal monster-hunting show Expedition X on the Discovery Channel to try to track underwater space aliens. Because he’s super-serious about national security. This is the guy Congress is listening to.

Like the lost Friends episode: The One with the Subtext.

Fifty years ago they could have been guests at a Rock Hudson pool party.

"Boys" or "young men"?

Gentlemen,

Dr. Hugh Ross and Dr. Mike Heiser can fill us in as to what this really is and where it's going. Look up their videos on YouTube if you haven't already done so.

In other news from Bizarro world, Wolter is claiming the DOD is responsible for erecting some of the recently found aluminum "Monoliths" to create a UFO media flap.

Wolter claims his secretive government contact is a man named Holden (not his real name). So now this:

"Since his name has now been revealed by @RealScottWolter
I can confirm that I have been in contact with the man by the name of 'Holden' AKA Indrid Cold for a little over a year now, we have had extensive comms, he reached out to me and we continue to be in communication."

Indrid Cold is a supernatural character in the The Mothman Prophecies movie.

"Later that night Gordon calls John and says that he is standing next to someone named Indrid Cold. While John keeps Cold on the line, Officer Mills checks on Gordon. Cold answers John's questions, including ones he could not possibly know the answers to, convincing John that Cold is a supernatural being."

LOL, then it turns out Indrid Cold is not Wolter's contacts real name either (I guess):

"It's not the same person."

"is this a different person from mr x"

"Absolutely, Mr X is not an insider / intelligence guy"

This whole twitter thread is a riot.

To further the nonsense, Mr. X was a very brief alternate source for Mulder and Scully in Season 2 of the X-Files to replace Deep Throat.

Pathetically, Vallée, in this latest book, tells us of a "real" crash recovery by the Army in the 1940s. Not the Roswell crash, of course, but one that is really, really "real" this time. Promise! And where did it happen? Why, only 20 miles from White Sands, of course! And why did this "interdimensional" craft appear there? Why, because of the atomic bomb, of course! The blurb on Amazon says "Over several site investigation surveys Harris and Vallée reconstructed the historic observations by three witnesses, two of whom are still living..." Through their "investigation", the authors uncovered that "Fearing retaliation, they [the "witnesses"] remained silent for some 60 years about what they had seen and done over those nine days at the site while the recovery was proceeding."

In other words: the confabulated Roswell incident rinsed and repeated, complete with "witnesses" coming out decades after the "events", but with an interdimensional craft instead of an interstellar one.

What makes this so egregiously disgusting is that a big part of Vallée's take up until now has been that the government doesn't really know what's going on (he assumes, of course, that something IS going on vis-à-vis extraordinary craft/phenomena) any more than the public does, and that in a way this is what constitutes the "real" cover-up. In his books, he's expressed deep skepticism about Roswell and recovered alien craft, MJ-12, Lazar's fraudulent story, etc. etc. and has warned about the dangers of UFO cults and extremism (such as in his book "Dimensions"). Now he's cashing in on the recovered craft trope and fanning extremist wet dreams about government cover-ups??! I suppose it's not that surprising; for a while now, he's been hawking "recovered fragments" that have supposedly been submitted for "analysis", so I suppose that this, in conjunction with the latest media craze surrounding AATIP and the Navy, may well have tipped his hand in favor of a Roswell-style craft recovery fable. Perhaps Vallée is also giving his buddy Bigelow or other friends at the woo academies he's been involved with a helping hand by suddenly "revealing" an amazing new story to help the narrative along.
