THE JASON COLAVITO NEWSLETTER
• Vol. 19 • Issue 1 • July 4, 2021 •

It’s been a busy two weeks. Let’s see what’s new…

News
As you can see, I have tweaked my weekly newsletter with a new name to reflect a shift away from ancient astronauts and more toward my projects. The new newsletter is a work in progress and will continue to develop as I work to determine what role it should play going forward.
 
Since my last newsletter, I was interviewed in Salon magazine and had an article about Zak Bagans’s purchase of the last remaining piece of James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bagans’s hometown paper.
 
A major men’s lifestyle magazine commissioned me to write a feature for them, and it is currently schedule to run this week. Details will be posted on my social media feed and elsewhere once it is available to read. I’ve been working on it for the last week, which is why my blog has been quiet.

On the Blog
In case you missed them, here are my best blog posts and Substack articles for the weeks of June 21-July 4:
  • Watch My Conversation with Mick West
  • Summer Flashback: The 1884 “Exposure at Vienna”

Until next week, keep watching the skies!

THE JASON COLAVITO NEWSLETTER
• Vol. 19 • Issue 2 • July 11, 2021 •

It’s been a busy week. Let’s see what’s new…

News
Writing in the American Conservative this week, Declan Leary offered a disturbing apology for nineteenth and twentieth century genocidal policies designed to physically and culturally destroy Native Americans. Leary followed the racist rhetoric of Victorian politicians—denounced even in its own time as cruel—and claims that residential schools, which involuntarily separated Native children from their families and imposed forced Westernization, were justified because they saved souls: “Whatever sacrifices were exacted in pursuit of that grace—the suffocation of a noble pagan culture; an increase in disease and bodily death due to government negligence; even the sundering of natural families—is worth it.” Leary has become the new Richard Henry Pratt, who infamously said in 1892 that “all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him and save the man.”

In case you missed them, here are my best blog posts and Substack articles for the week of July 5-11:

  • Diana Pasulka Alleges Google-Military Conspiracy to Discredit UFO Witnesses

  • I found out this weekend that copies of The Legends of the Pyramids have started shipping, and those who preordered have begun receiving their copies. I have not received a copy of the book myself yet. But I hope to see many more people getting theirs in the coming week. The official publication date is August 3, the same day that the audiobook will be released.
  • I also heard from my editor at a major magazine that my next magazine feature is scheduled to run this week following a brief delay. I will be sending out a notice once it’s published.

News
At the close of a slow week, we learned that Discovery’s Hunting Atlantis did poorly in the ratings. Only 650,000 people watched the premiere episode, fumbling a quarter of its lead-in, Expedition Unknown. Rival History tried belatedly to get in on the UFO hype by adding a few minutes of new footage to an old episode of Unidentified and billing it as a special event. It was very sad because the Unidentified crew were the driving force behind the government UFO report last month and, by rights, should have had a new History special. Instead Lue Elizondo spent the weekend fluffing “UFO Twitter’s” ego by calling online UFO tweeters a “juggernaut” blasting down the media’s defenses.

This week I have been neck-deep in rewrites and edits for my upcoming magazine feature, so I have been a bit distracted. I was, however, pleased to see that my new book, The Legends of the Pyramids, reached number one at various points on the Amazon.com bestselling new release charts for both Archaeology and Ancient Egyptian History. According to my publisher, the book sold more copies in its first three days of release that my previous book, The Mound Builder Myth, moved in six months.

This week, members of the media fell for an old hoax. Back in 2014, the satire site World New Daily Report published a piece pretending that the wooden remains of the Trojan Horse had been found. The story was fictitious, cobbled together from Wikipedia and a little imagination, but riddled with basic errors about Classics. (For example, Mycenaean Greeks did not write in the standard Greek alphabet.) Seven years later, The Greek Reporter picked up the story from a Greek-language website. From there, the Jerusalem Post and International Business Times, both of which have large sections devoted to lightly rewritten clickbait, repeated the story nearly verbatim without checking the facts. Even after the fake story was pulled from various sites, even less scrupulous sites like Illinois News were still repeating the story as of this writing. An archaeologist who shares a name with the fictitious researcher cited in the original 2014 article put out a statement explaining that the story is false after becoming overwhelmed with requests from media organizations trying to confirm the story with her.

A new Gallup survey found a major increase in the belief that UFOs are alien spacecraft. Belief rose from 33% to 41% between 2019 and 2021, which Gallup attributes to the increase in media coverage, particularly elite media coverage, this year because of the propaganda campaign waged around the U.S. government’s UFO report. Most disturbing was the finding that belief increased most radically among the college educated, traditionally the most skeptical of UFOs. Belief rose from 27% to 37%, which Gallup suggested was due to the increase in coverage of UFOs in trusted elite publications like The New York Times and the Washington Post. News coverage has an agenda-setting function, and it creates and sustains belief.

News
In an interview on Jimmy Church’s radio show this week, former America Unearthed host Scott Wolter claimed that the Vatican and the CIA are suppressing UFO evidence, resulting in the recent government UFO report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence lacking strong evidence. He also claimed one percent of Americans are extraterrestrials. He made a number of other bizarre claims, including more special pleading to excuse the misidentification of lead as silver in Pirate Treasure of the Knights Templar and the UNESCO condemnation of that show’s ethically dubious practices. He also says that the government agent who recruited him to disclose alien secrets works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, a division of the Air Force, and spent a recent week at Wolter’s home. I wonder how long it will be before Wolter turns the NASIC crest, which features the Great Sphinx, into some proof of his ancient Egyptian-Templar-Freemason conspiracy.
 
But, really, at this point, who is left to pay attention to an ousted cable host whose primary outlet is now local and internet radio? Still, Wolter’s descent into alien conspiracies provides some interesting rubbernecking.

This week, conspiracy theorist and podcaster Joe Rogan got COVID-19 and started taking a horse de-wormer to treat it, continuing his entanglement with conservative, anti-science nonsense. Yale University announced the results of a three-year investigation of the Vinland Map, which took all that time to reach the same conclusion investigators came to more than half a century ago: It’s still a fake. There’s also a new woman claiming to be a former Defense Department employee who is making noises about leading an expedition into the Mojave Desert to meet with space aliens in their underground lair in order to receive a revelation about the future of humanity and how to vibrate into bliss.

This week I sent my son off to preschool for the first time. Between the stress of getting ready for school (and the barrage of last-minute rule changes), the anxieties it apparently triggered in me from my own school days, and worries about my son being exposed to COVID-19, I’ve found it difficult to focus on doing much writing this week. I probably should say something about Donald Trump, Jr. announcing on Twitter that he and his father would mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks with a Q-and-A session in which he promised to ask the ex-president about Area 51 and space aliens. But I didn’t have the energy to care.

During a podcast interview this week, former New York Times reporter Ralph Blumenthal said that he had written and submitted an article to the Times about alien abductees, but the newspaper refused to run the story after the key editors with deep interest in flying saucer myths left the paper and their replacements expressed much more skepticism about UFO stories. “I lost my champions,” Blumenthal told The Experiencer Group. “Some skeptics, more skeptical groups, emerged and said, ‘Why are we running this?’” (I’d like to think my discussion of the issue with the Times’ managing editor helped nudge them in the right direction.) Let that sink in for a moment: The New York Times was about to run a story about alien abductees written by a UFO believer who published a book this year literally claiming that abduction researchers are among humanity’s greatest heroes, and the only thing that stopped them was an editor switching jobs. Since Blumenthal’s 2017 Times UFO report started the current UFO excitement, this exposes quite clearly how few people it takes to create a media frenzy.

Ralph Blumenthal published an embarrassing bit of alien abduction cheerleading that he insisted that New York Times refused to run out of bias and not because it was poorly written and badly reported. Scott Wolter wrote a lengthy (and frequently incorrect) screed attacking a year-old paper refuting his Kensington Runestone claims for a revealing reason: It impacted a coverage of him on a cable TV show and therefore could not be tolerated.

I am proud to share my new piece for Esquire magazine about the life and legacy of James Dean. This article has been months in the making and had a long and complicated path to publication, but now it is out. In 1956, Esquire magazine ran a story blasting James Dean and helping to shape public opinion about him for decades. I am honored to be the one to write a rebuttal in the same publication 65 years later. Thanks go to my brilliant editor at Esquire, Kelly Stout, for making this piece great, and special thanks to Esquire editor-at-large Dave Holmes for supporting my story and making this article possible.

It’s compelling to watch how the entire UFO media ecosystem is doubling down on UFOs even as public and mainstream media interest in the subject fades. While the spring saw a huge spike of interest in UFOs, that interest faded fast in the wake of a disappointing report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that offered little by way of evidence or conclusions. TV’s UFO and alien shows are losing ratings. Ancient Aliens has drifted downward to under 700,000 viewers, shedding a quarter or more of its audience from the past few seasons. None of the UFO books rushed into print to capitalize on the anticipated report did much business. Ross Coulthart’s much-hyped UFO book In Plain Sight received nearly no media attention in the U.S., and yet HarperCollins did a big book deal with Lue Elizondo. After all the major military UFO videos failed to show anything alien, UFO media turned to a DHS video of a balloon that was hyped as anomalous for weeks until everyone could see for themselves that the footage was unimpressive. The U.S. Congress is set to approve the creation of a permanent office to collect and collate UFO reports, but UFO advocates are unhappy with this, too, and Chris Mellon came out against it, putatively for fear that it will keep UFO information secret, but more to the point: He got everything he asked for only to discover that it made no difference. The point was always the fight, not the results. Scott Wolter keeps blathering that aliens were involved with ancient history, and even Graham Hancock tweeted out a long-debunked claim this week that the Nazca lines could only be seen from the air and therefore indicated ancient air or space vehicles. With the UFO field shrinking back to its usual size, participants are trying to stay relevant to their dwindling audience, no longer bolstered by an expanding customer base. They need to be more adamant and extreme to hold on to their shares of a shrinking pie.

The sublime and the ridiculous are never far apart in the world of space aliens and UFOs. This week George Knapp and two other authors released a new book, Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, that revealed from the mouth of the original head of the Pentagon UFO program that it was always a wackadoodle paranormal investigation into aliens, ghosts, and werewolves, including a memorable scene in which Robert Bigelow allegedly witnessed a beaver-dinosaur hybrid fly across the Skinwalker Ranch sky. The book carried Sen. Harry Reid’s endorsement. It came out the same week that the National Cathedral announced a special forum in which a Washington Post reporter would conduct a discussion with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, UFO-hunting astronomer Avi Loeb, and a theologian in order to explore how UFOs and space aliens will affect “religious life.” I’m not really comfortable with NASA’s administrator conceptualizing space in religious terms, and Loeb might want to think twice before tying Project Galileo’s hunt for UFOs to questions of faith.

Ahead of his appearance at Washington’s National Cathedral to discuss the religious implications of UFOs, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, 79, sat down with the University of Virginia Center for Politics this week, and he answered a question about UFOs being piloted by space aliens by volunteering that “now there are even theories that there might be other universes,” and therefore he needed to act with humility and not deny that “civilized” beings might exist in other dimensions. He also repeated standard UFO arguments from the twentieth century about believing pilot testimony (despite scientific evidence that eyewitness accounts are unreliable) and suggested that UFOs can answer cosmological questions about the purpose of life, “How did we become as we are? How did we develop?” I’m not sure whether to be more depressed that he is seemingly conversant in the Jacques Vallée / Hal Puthoff / Lue Elizondo idea about interdimensional incursions, or that the administration of NASA (!) thinks the idea of parallel universes is new because his ideas are still stuck in his adolescence, in the 1950s.

The discussion, which will also feature the administrator of NASA and UFO-hunting astronomer Avi Loeb, will cover, among other things, how UFOs might impact religion—an odd question for government officials to speculate about.

It was another disappointing week in the world of aliens. Lue Elizondo scored a glossy profile in the year-end British edition of GQ magazine, where he was feted as a “GQ Hero” for publicizing UFO claims. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation to give Avi Loeb and some other ufologists power over the advisory board to the proposed new government UFO office. And Giorgio Tsoukalos made some bizarre tweets in which he claimed that the ancient astronauts that visited the Earth in prehistory also had their own ancient aliens who had visited them in their prehistory, going back, he said, “before” time began. He emphasized that he meant literally before time, in an apparently recycling of Helena Blavatsky’s old ideas about supernatural aliens from the parallel universe versions of other planets existing before Earth time began. It was one of those weeks.

I probably should be focusing on the news from UFO world, where Avi Loeb and the Director of National Intelligence pondered space aliens at the National Cathedral, with Loeb speculating that aliens are indistinguishable from gods and could unite humanity (kumbaya!), or Lue Elizondo announcing that he is taking a break from social media in preparation for a new “assault” on the government’s UFO secrecy. But, honestly, I am more concerned right now with Google’s decision to remove my Esquire and Las Vegas Journal-Review articles from the first several pages of Google News search results for James Dean and Google searches for my own name. Prior to this week, both were near the top. These two articles, from different publications, were the only two affected, while older and less relevant articles were untouched, and both shared something in common, different from any other article—they referred to Dean’s sexuality. The Esquire page listing my biography is still listed, but not the article. It’s rather difficult to imagine this was an algorithm’s accident.

Meanwhile, Kirsten Gillibrand’s UFO office amendment attracted support from a bipartisan group of senators and is on track to pass. We should all be depressed that (a) its requirements for how the UFO office should handle intelligence and science are nearly point-for-point identical to a proposal Lue Elizondo offered at the International UFO Conference in Italy this summer and (b) Elizondo is starting another media tour to help drum up media support for the passage of the amendment, which would basically reestablish the sci-fi nonsense of the BAASS and AAWSAP years, with a bigger budget and deeper roots.

The same user also alleged Alexander the Great was a woman.

Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, and others were outraged that the Pentagon plan would, basically, cut them out of UFO research that they had hoped to be at the heart of should Kirsten Gillibrand succeed in creating a slightly different UFO office that would be required to spend money researching hypothetical alien spaceship propulsion and energy methods.

Truth be told, it’s been a difficult week for me. Between some unexpected household problems—the built-in oven, for one thing, went haywire and will cost upwards of $3,000 to replace—and a series of crushing work assignments, I barely had a free moment. I got no writing done at all, but fortunately, not a lot happened in alien-world this week except for allies of the usual suspects pushing stories in the fringes of the media calling on the Senate to pass the Gillibrand UFO office amendment to supersede the Pentagon’s new internal UFO study group. Otherwise, it seems that the holiday season has temporarily slowed down the usual barrage of new nonsense, and we have to make do with the old nonsense.
 
I hope the upcoming week will be less challenging and I might actually get some writing done. We’ll see.

This week, Congress moved forward with plans to create a Pentagon UFO office that would, among other things, be required to test “materials” from UFOs and examine medical problems allegedly created by UFO exposure by using the “special expertise” of people outside the federal government. Concurrently, Garry Nolan, the microbiologist working with Jacques Vallée and the “Invisible College” on UFO wreckage testing also announced that he’s studying the medical problems created by UFO exposure. A concurrent scientific paper by Nolan and Vallée on testing UFO wreckage for super-secret metals that could be used for hypothetical advanced propulsion ended with a lament that the Invisible College researchers lack funding for widescale testing of alleged UFO scraps and the strong implication that they wanted money. What a coincidence! And with that, the secret behind the Mellon-Elizondo-Invisible College UFO lobbying push became clear: It was always about returning the Invisible College to government, like in the good old days of BAASS/AAWSAP, and now they are on the verge of success.

In case you missed them, here are my best blog posts and Substack articles for the week of December 13-19:
  • Scott Wolter Claims to Have a Lost Book of the Bible with Aliens Inside

Until next year, keep watching the skies!
