Eyewitness Talks UFO Pursuing His Car, Shines Beam of Light and Stalling It, Topanga Canyon, 1992 – Eyes on Cinema
A few intriguing and often unsettling cases from UFO history… First: a frightening instance of vehicle interference and human physiological effects in the presence of a UFO from 30 years ago. How about 100 years of anomalous encounters? Inside the Hudson Valley ‘Alien Invasion’ and Strange Theory ‘A Portal to another Dimension Leaves Area Exposed to UFOs’ profiles “the UFO Capital of the East Coast.” Britta Zeltmann shows how Pine Bush, New York, has gotten that title and made monetary hay out of the moniker. Another Eyes On Cinema video headlines US Government is in Possession of Alien Spacecraft Says Ex-NASA Mission Specialist Bob Oechsler. This 1993 interview summarizes Oechsler’s opinions—and reasons for holding them—concerning alien visitation, possible cooperation, and governmental secrecy. And writing for Military.com, Blake Stilwell reports that The First Air Force Pilot to Die Chasing a UFO Was Actually Chasing a Secret Balloon. Stilwell notes that the investigation of the 1948 Capt. Thomas Mantell tragedy was termed a “masterpiece in the art of weasel wording.” A worthwhile recap, though Project Sign’s follow-on was “Project Grudge” and not “Grunge.” (WM)

Jacques Vallee: Pursuing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena And ‘Impossible Futures’ – The Debrief
In the active autumn of a long, significant, and even controversial UFO career, Jacques Vallee reflects upon his life as well as the future of ufology. At Micah Hanks’ instance, Vallee hearkens back to what’s changed since his 2013 TEDx talk. The conversation is supplemented by a Chrissy Newton podcast interview of Vallee. (Eight of Vallee’s major works are available from Anomalist Books.) Mike Cifone takes on one of the modes of thought perceived in Vallee’s development in Interlude No. 2: On the ‘Gnostic’ Tendency in Vallee (and in UAP Theory More Generally). This is Vallee’s particular path to anomalies—away from the extremes of hardened skepticism and almost religiously reflexive belief. Cifone finds Vallee’s thinking is wrong and “does disservice both to reason and to true mysticism.” Cifone argues for his own construction “of a strong and creative ‘rationalism’ that is flexible, open and rigorous.” Cifone fleshes this out in Against Vallee’s “Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects” & An Initial Attempt at Rational Ufological Speculation. Having shown that each of Vallee’s “Five Points” against the ETH is based upon weakly supported theorizing, Cifone then sketches his own “wildly speculative” but “philosophically constrained” proposed route.
