Spanish journalist-ufologist Jose Antonio Caravaca offers his latest effort to decode his novel “Distortion Theory” for Rich Reynolds’ non-Spanish-speaking audience. While defending his theory against misunderstandings, Jose stresses that the Distortion Theory is not an explanation for the nature and any supposed “purpose” of the UFO phenomenon. Nor are UFOs merely a human-only psychological anomaly. Jose is concerned with the mechanism by which the original UFO phenomenon—whatever it is—is perceived by and then transmitted through the human witness. And then Jose leaps to a grand interpretation of what one might term the “UFO world-societal presence.” He also argues that studying UFO cases in detail can tell us far more about the witness than anything about the original stimulus. The exposition seems strong in emphasizing the samenesses in overall encounter descriptions despite concurrent specific differences. There still is that nagging problem of the endurance of “physical traces” which, though evident in a small percentage of cases, still seem to exist. And of course, the nature of the core phenomenon/a still eludes, possibly forever. (WM)
