A couple of notes: John’s name, was, in fact, not “John Keel,” but “Alva John Kiehle.” And why shouldn’t he reveal the existence of the Lucis Trust library? It’s public, after all.
Was it ever confirmed that the people mentioned in John’s notes actually had these experiences?

Thanks, Doug. Hope you had an appropriately spooky Halloween.

Thanks, Marsh! I celebrated by reading Longfellow’s play “Giles Corey of the Salem Farms”: maybe not the best thing written about the witch trials, but still spooky.

No. At this point, John is recording the stories, looking for patterns, and trying to sort them out. Take them with a grain or more of salt!

These ‘contactees’ had to have been in cahoots with each other. Were there many contactee conventions or UFO enthusiast get togethers in greater New York that these people could have met?

Do you understand what this implies? On a different note, as the world is hurling towards nuclear bomb total destruction, let’s get together and feel alright. Spy stuff. Why can’t we be friends with Russia? Like the Jews they lost people in world war two; too. What did Einstein say about ww4?

I think there were some UFO groups that met from time to time, but I don’t know the details. (Maybe some UFO historian out there does.) But UFOs were a hot topic in 1967, and there were a lot of small magazines and newsletters. Long John Nebel’s popular all-night radio show also often featured contactees.

As far as UFO meetings, the convention had just been in New York earlier in this summer.
Comment by Tim — November 9, 2017 @ 7:06 pm
That’s true — I think there were also smaller groups that met regularly, but I don’t know for sure.
Comment by Doug — November 11, 2017 @ 12:39 pm
It’s a reasonable assumption to make. And the idea of these people trying to dupe an author into writing about them so they can go on book tours or whatever isn’t too outlandish either.

I don’t blame him for writing ‘so sayeth Gladys F.’ about her dubious claims. Waiting for the day when he writes ‘so sayeth Jaye P.’
