Adam Gorightly's Saucers, Spooks and Kooks has finally been released over here as a documentary. The book’s in my Top 5 of important 21st Century UFO books so I’ve been looking forward to this for months. It will guaranteed level up anyone’s knowledge of UFO history. It begins with the dark events of Paul Bennewitz and includes phone audio I’d never heard before of when he was locked in his house with Myrna Hansen. Leo Sprinkle was invited to hypnotise Hansen who was a mystery woman saying she’d been abducted by the aliens who were mutilating cattle. Sprinkle found Bennewitz in full paranoia mode with a rifle and sidearm. The rest is history as Bennewitz became the point of origin for dastardly Rick Doty and the MJ12 legend unfolded from there. There’s footage of NM State Trooper, Gabe Valdez, talking about the computer Bennewitz was allegedly given by the USAF. Bennewitz said he was in communication with evil Greys through the device. It was a 1980 machine rocking presumably ASCII images of the villainous aliens and speaking to him about vats of blood and conquering humans. He developed his Project Beta thesis from the narrative embedded in the PC's drive. Imagine if that thing ever turned up and could be independently analyzed or emulated and made available? It helped to ruin him psychologically until his paranoia put him in a mental health facility. Doty and Moore spread rumors that Hynek himself delivered the computer. Moore (1990) even claimed to possess a contract, signed by Hynek, that showed he was a devilish counterintelligence agent. He never produced it. I’m 99.99% certain Moore and Doty provided the device. Nothing in Hynek’s life or reputation suggested a double identity. In contrast, Moore and Doty admitted to lies and had clear patterns of bullshit and spreading fake documents. The doc includes Bob Lazar, John Lear and others who were giants in the UFO world of the 1980s. All I want to add is it’s a great documentary on one of the most significant periods in UFO history. The story is told by those who were involved and guys like Mark Pilkington who spent a lot of time with Doty for Mirage Men. It delivers. submitted by /u/sendmeyourtulips [link] [comments]
