JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

http://bfnionizers.com/products/ionizing-air-guns-in6430.html John’s record continues, starting with October 10, 1967. The supposed “denouement” was nothing of the kind; he continues to get strange stories from Jaye Paro and Helen Oglemyer, including reports of a dazed Keel doppelgänger. John also notes that he gave a lecture, visited Ivan Sanderson, and appeared on Long John Nebel’s late-night radio show. Princess Moon Owl shows up again, and Jaye Paro finds Joseph Henslik, who is apparently also known as Joseph Baisle. The file begins with Jaye’s sketch of Agar, which I posted a while ago.

I just learned that John Keel’s brother Raymond died earlier this month. Patrick Huyghe sent me a link to the obituary, and Loren Coleman also posted an obituary of his own. Rest in peace, Raymond.

John ends his “Long Island File” with stories from several witnesses. Helen Oglemyer (he puts her name in quotes because she had said her real name was Patricia Anne Mackey) and Jaye Paro both report missing time, with memories of an alien city. I can only assume they coordinated their stories; the continuing story of the red top is anyone’s guess. A man in Belpre, Ohio, Warren Henderson, sees UFOs and meets some men in black suits, and John’s girlfriend Gerda meets a man with a scar on his cheek (I don’t know why this is significant). And finally, Jaye’s phone is removed.

This concludes John’s “Long Island File,” but his record continues, with a file called “Special Reports #3,” which takes him into 1968.

John adds a footnote to what he thought would be his “denouement.” He receives a long message from Jaye Paro (aka Tim’na), read over the phone by un unknown woman. (The red top has often been mentioned, to John’s bewilderment.) He tries to call Jaye, but gets only “strange sounds.” And he regrets his missed opportunities for direct contact with Apol/Appell.

John has an unpleasant phone conversation with Jaye, and concludes he may never see her again. He has a long talk with Appell, through another contactee, Helen Oglemyer (aka Patricia Mackey). Helen confesses she lied to him about a number of things. In passing, John refers to Jaye as “psychotic”; I assume he means that informally, since he said elsewhere he didn’t think she was mentally ill.

He signs and dates the last page, apparently convinced that his six months of strangeness are over, and that he will never hear from Jaye, Helen, or Louise again. However, his record does continue after this.
