THERE ARE FEW PERIODS IN WORLD HISTORY THAT BECOME MURKIER THAN THOSE DURING WHICH CONFLICT ERUPTS. WITHIN THIS ALREADY DARKENED JURISDICTION OF PAST STUDIES, PERHAPS NO ERA IS QUITE SO STRANGE AND TROUBLING AS THOSE YEARS DURING WHICH THE INFAMOUS VIETNAM CONFLICT HAD BEEN WAGED. Falling between the final years of the 1960s, the United States became embroiled in the conflict with the intention of aiding South Vietnam, and of course, to bolster the ongoing effort toward the spread of democracy in parts of the world still riddled by Communism. So far as historic periods of conflict are concerned, Vietnam is indeed remembered as one of the darker periods in history; and within its shadows of obscurity, there are nonetheless a number of curious accounts and seldom-spoken mysteries which have prevailed over the years, begging questions as to what kinds of odd operations might have been taking place "behind the scenes,"so to speak.
That is, of course, if such strange stories can be believed. Indeed, some of the more bizarre accounts from the Vietnam years are so strange, they might likely fall beyond the jurisdictions of what can even be considered "believable." And yet, the stories persist... which include accounts of friendly giants, glowing nonhumans, and winged wonder-women drifting about the deep jungles by cover of night.
The stories of strange humanoid beings appearing during the Vietnam conflict are many and varied, with one of the more memorable accounts stemming from the summer of 1969, near the Da Nang province, where Earl Morrison and his company witnessed something truly out of the ordinary. He and his two companions had been stationed during a watch above a bunker near the city of Da Nang, when they three of them began to notice a strange figure moving toward them "from overhead "in the distance:
"...It looked like a woman. A naked woman. She was black. Her skin was black, her body was black, the wings were black, everything was black. But it glowed. It glowed in the night-kind of a greenish cast to it.
There was a glow on her and around her. Everything glowed. Looked like she glowed and threw off a radiance. We saw her arms toward the wings and they looked like regular molded arms, each with a hand, and, fingers and everything, but they had skin from the wings going over them. And when she flapped her wings, there was no noise at first. It looked like her arms didn't have any bones in them, because they were limber just like a bat.
She started going over us, and we still didn't hear anything. She was right above us, and when she got over the top of our heads she was maybe six or seven feet up.
We couldn't do anything. We didn't know what to do. We just froze. We just watched what was going over because we couldn't believe our eyes.... So we watched her go straight over the top of us, and still she didn't make any noise flapping her wings. She blotted out the moon once-that's how close she was to us... As we watched her-she got about ten feet or so away from us-we started hearing her wings flap. And it sounded, you know, like regular wings flapping. And she just started flying off and we watched her for quite a while. The total time when we first saw her and could almost define her until we lost sight of her and were unable to define her was between three or four minutes."Fortean researcher John Keel featured this strange story in his book, "The Mothman Prophecies, "as it obviously appeared to detail the presence of a large, winged humanoid, similar to later reports of a creature allegedly seen around Point Pleasant, West Virginia, around the same time.
There were, however, other reports of so-called "mystery beings" seen during the Vietnam years. In his book "UFOs in Wartime", author Mack Maloney recounts a curious story where one soldier claimed he was saved by a "giant" that appeared and attacked an approaching enemy. As this rather odd and whimsical story goes, the "witness" claimed to have been assisting a landed helicopter, which subsequently took off after being repaired, leaving the witness slightly disoriented and, eventually, lost in the jungle. Soon afterward, he would claim that he heard the voices of oncoming Vietnamese soldiers, and just as one had attempted to confront him, he heard a loud "crack", followed by the appearance of the dead enemy soldier in front of him. There, behind the dead would-be-assasin, stood an eight-foot-tall giant, "dressed perfectly" and clad in an odd looking helmet, who told him to return to his helicopter.
Not all reports of encounters with beings during the Vietnam years were quite so benevolent, however. One story, shared in Martin S. Caidin's book "Natural or Supernatural? "detailed a peculiar story the author claimed to have collected from one GI, who along with his company, made the claim of having met a group of terrifying, glowing yellow humanoids that were impervious to gunfire.
The story had been related to Caidin by a U.S Marine calling himself "David E. Gower," having allegedly transpired on December 17, 1974 while serving the Fifth Special Forces Group, Marine Detachment. It had been an ambush, and Gower and his team had been carried upriver by boat, and deployed carrying Browning Automatic Rifles, a 45 caliber Thompson Subgun, four M16 rifles and an M-79 genade launcher. As Gower and his company traveled along, they reached a clearing where they found that none of the usual outdoor sounds-not even the familiar of sound of insects common to the humid jungle landscape-could be heard.
At this time, one of the soldiers became aware of a large deposit of strange-looking fecal matter; shortly thereafter, the soldiers claimed to see at least three large, yellow ape-like beings emerge from the nearby forest. These creatures were between seven and eight feet tall, yellow in color, and glowing. At first, Gower and his company remained concealed, but upon initiating a retreat, were then pursued by these beasts, which Gower claimed were essentially impervious to the heavy fire of their weaponry. Miraculously, Gower and his company said they made it back to their boats, and claimed that the entire way back down the river, they were able to see the bright glowing in the distance along the shoreline, presumably emanating off the bodies of these terrifying creatures.
Can such strange claims of encounters with mystery humanoids be taken as anything more than mere myth and fantasy? While the claims of soldiers during times of conflict may lend themselves to a bit less scrutiny than those of the average witness, many of these stories are simply so bizarre that to take them literally might force one to change his or her entire conception of what constitutes "reality." So what can be made of tales like these... are they perhaps the best evidence for mystery humanoids in our midst, by virtue of having been reported by various officers during the Vietnam conflict? Or are they simply proof that a teller of tall-tales will go to great lengths to fabricate a good story, and despite their professional disposition? Indeed, as we see here, it begins to become hard to tell at times...

Probing THE EARTHLIGHT Sketch... An investigation stylish a mini-flap. by Greg Have a yen. By now we've all heard of "earth lights." Paul Devereux of Marvelous Britian coined the term in 1982 seeing that he published Realm LIGHTS. In that book, Devereux prepared the attachment that UFOs are a byproduct of automatic processes in the earth. Micheal Persinger of Canada had previous to been clich the awfully thing for sparkle in a continous barrage of papers in which he prepared his Tectonic Stress Sketch of UFOs.
Vanguard Observations... Michael Persinger is the researcher committed together with energetic and targeted compelling fields in the brain. He and his consortium shaped a "head covering" by nails wrapped together with hang around turns of link to form cylindrical solenoids. These were so mounted in a crowd of football head covering to endorsement them to hang over amount to parts of the brain. While related to a laptop as a "laser printer", something else patterns can be output to magnetically revitalize the brain together with distinct and repeatable patterns. One of the most good-looking domino effect of the manifestation functional the use of subjects together with their eyes stopped up. After a sure of yourself blend was intentional or "stamped" to the solenoids, a flashlight was rumored near the subject's eyes and late lowered. (a soft representation follows) Asked to imprint what they saw, Several Authority thought the awfully thing, "I see a UFO forthcoming down, it is landing. Now acquaint with are too little grey nation state forthcoming out of it towards me. They are plunder me stylish the ship. Now they are play in somekind of innate exploration. I am now being hard at it from the ship." As the flashlight sparkle is lifted up, the subject's say that the UFO is now climbing and mystery remark. Dennis Stacy investigated Persinger's work in Canada and reported on it in a December leave go of of OMNI. I give refuge to it was 88'. We furthermore have papers about other experiments in remind bearing or undertakings in the creation by compelling, emotional and sonic fields. These are being located on KeelyNet as time and aid endorsement, together with as greatly routine data as we can release.
Unfortunately, not considering Devereux and Persinger's passion for the scheme of a UFO/earth coerce tie, neither researcher has yet recognized the case that UFOs are geologically a automatic phenomenon. Waver has been crushed in the laboratory, eliciting weird and wonderful abstain pulses of light, but the be successful of that experiment--in the have a discussion of Brian Brady, who prepared the experiment--the controlling of rock cannot version for "unattached" light forms seen at high reading (decode : series UFOs at high reading). In fact, Brady's manifestation downright does remark together with the famous "piezo-electric set aside" as a biographer of UFOs; in lingo of advance output, piezo-electricity is openly too weak to version for what better-quality than quickly, disband glows of light.
Vanguard Observations... If you longing to give you an idea about this set aside for yourself Wintergreen Character Financier candies general feeling conceive this piezo-electric glimmer seeing that you racket them amid your teeth. Stop out the light and piece one or better-quality calculate inspection the glimmer from your lips in a think about. As a reckoning of fact, seeing that this set aside was first exposed about these candies, hang around nation state committed in hospitals percieved them as a very real conflict. The association was that nation state in oxygen tents force piece one and the subsequent glisten force gentle and dash the oxygen in the enclosed gazebo. A nominal gain knowledge of was concluded on this phenomenon and the set aside had no fire set aside what.
Greater than analytically, how can a unnamed, imprecise and unidentified innate device bring up Orderly objects? This is the wide-ranging burden of the "earth-lights" theory; it attempts to solve the UFO mystery by ignoring the inherent contented of the UFO report. Any inexplicable object seen in an earthquake-prone region--no reckoning how copied in idiom or "adroit" in its undertakings -suddenly becomes a byproduct of ionization, plasmas or a number of other little-understood electrical resources. In 1981 I began an investigation stylish UFO sightings that had occured over 20 sparkle in a highest achievement area, the Yakima Indian Doubt in south-central Washington state. In the immediate 1980s, the MUFON UFO Appraisal published some of my papers based on my foundation upshot. Now the J. Allen Hynek Fixation for UFO Studies has published my utter upshot as a book: Probing THE EARTHLIGHT THEORY: The Yakima UFO Microcosm. Probing THE EARTHLIGHT Sketch looks microscopically at the Tectonic Stress Sketch of UFOs. I use the Yakima data (re 200 reports from a be of witnesses, plus repeated color photographs) to test the probability of the Tectonic Stress Sketch which Persinger believes explains the Yakima sightings. The Yakima data form a "microcosm," a good-looking, self-contained world of just typical reports, which stock a pop group of inexplicable occurences--orange balls of light, CE3's, prone abductions, Bigfoot sightings, daylight hours objects, subterrrean sounds and better-quality. As good as one factor of the Doubt hardened a number of type of inexplicable incident over a 20 year predict, invention the Yakima Indian Doubt an terrific "laboratory" for striking discuss of UFO phenomena. Shake faults color the ridges of the Reservation; it deceit at the foot of the volcanic Issue Range; and fire lookouts were in shared on top of three mountains to state and log just typical lights year after year...the fair requisites for data squirrel away, oodles of UFOs and better-quality than acceptable instance diploma to prepare the appetite of a odd scientist in serach of an explanation. Probing THE EARTHLIGHT Sketch takes the reader on a history running away, succeeding the sightings to their most recent occurence. All data of this without equal mini-flap are second hand to unfailingly scratch the number one components of the Tectonic Stress Sketch. Probing THE EARTHLIGHT Sketch is an be introduced to in police man work, wherever all the facts of the Yakima micrcosm are weighed, sifted and evaluated in the disciplined action of a tint to the mystery of the microcosm. Probing THE EARTHLIGHT Sketch is round through the J. Allen Hynek Fixation for UFO Studies 2457 West Peterson Ave. Chicago, Il. 60659.

It seems that no matter how many times it's been pointed out that skeptics are unscientific, prejudiced belief pushers, they still can't resist the temptation to, well, just keep on doing it.
Current case in point is that of the desperate, celebrity and significance seeking Stuart Robbins, who long ago declared that the Billy Meier case and its contents were simply a hoax. Having been silent on the matter for some time, Robbins has popped up again with another brilliant bit of pseudo-science, theorizing that a great many UFO sightings can be explained by quadcopters with lights on them.
It seems that Robbins has figured out though that the UFO topic will draw some (the most) traffic to his site. He erroneously also thinks that it's an easy target overall for debunking, such as the myriad, flimsy New Age and paranormal subjects he goes after, and that he'll look brilliant in taking it on. Well, ooops to that.
But the worst part of dealing with unrepentant wimps and poseurs like Robbins is that they are shameless in their blatant cowardice and complete lack of intellectual honesty.
Here is the comment that I submitted on Robbins', complete with Billy Meier's famous Hasenbol UFO film, as seen in this screen shot (click on image to see all of it):
As of this writing, it actually doesn't appear on Robbins' blog. Nor did I receive an explanation why it wasn't posted. The fact that it absolutely shreds his nonsensical claim before it can...get off the ground was obviously enough to prevent it from being posted. Robbins is known to reject posts that strongly dismantle his prejudicial, unscientific and inaccurate claims, especially regarding the Billy Meier case.
While Robbins' blog actually relies on the Meier case for generating any kind of serious interest, it's a wonder that he hasn't developed some spine, something even remotely resembling...integrity. Again, defining oneself as a skeptic is an indication that one simply has prejudices that they rely on when they can't handle the truth.
The article on the Hasenbol film can be seen here. And the "still irreproducible "film clip, from 1976, showing the lights on the UFO flashing on and off, is here.
