Trickster Tales

An Exploration of Boundary Merging Between the UFO Culture, Parapsychology, and Intelligence Agencies

The UFO arena fast became a platform for gathering and disseminating information to and from a variety of sources, and wherein the trickster runs riot. Paranoia, suspicion and allegations abound and that’s just between the pro-UFO lobbyists; when Intel and parapsychology are thrown into the mix the heat reaches boiling point.

Part Five: Trickster Revealed?

A compromise, between honesty and lies.

In the fifth installment of the Trickster Tales  intrepid investigator Caryn Anscomb returns to the UFO/Alien enigma and offers a glimpse of the man behind the shadows of the "Core Story," a tale of contact with non-human intelligence.

Most of what has been promulgated since the 1980s, relative to UFOs and ET, is based on the alleged attempts of several insider sources to effect a disclosure initiative. At the heart of all the noise lies something known colloquially in UFO circles as ‘The Core Story’.

This Core Story has become the foundation stone of the alleged Roswell Crash data, Robert Collins’ book: Exempt from Disclosure, the 2005, Serpo releases, to a degree the Dan Burisch story and much of the UFO folklore disseminated by Richard Doty and friends. Strip away the accumulated crud and we discover that the Core Story indicates that at some point, in our not too distant past, some form of contact was made between human military personnel and non-human intelligence.

The term ‘Core Story’ was allegedly invented in a Denny’s Restaurant shop in the fall of 1982, during an exchange of information between three people.

One of the three participants at that meeting writes:

“It is the smallest set of elements for which the three of us at that time agreed had scientifically sound evidence. Since that time, we have briefed it dozens of times, and in the past six months the term has been expropriated by Bob Collins and Bill Ryan. Their version of Core Story bears little resemblance to our original, but of course, anyone is welcome to misuse any words, or even to exaggerate, or whatever they choose. Since I know that Bill and Bob have been briefed, I take the "New Core Story" to also be their considered judgment...and that is their right. But I do not stand behind the current usage and content.”

I further asked: "Do you believe that some form of contact has been made between humans and non-human intelligence."

Our source replied:

“Yes I most assuredly do. And I do not believe that contact has been metaphysical, or ethereal, or n-dimensional in the context of the 'Core Story.' I am silent as to those possibilities, also, however...but leave to the metaphysicians to say if that ALSO had been a form of contact. The 'contact' of which I speak I believe has been real in a traditional sensory, physics, and time & space sense. In short, what you may have seen in the original writings in 1987 of what the three inventors of the 'Core Story' said the three of us, at that time believed...We three have never changed our minds."

To add the next layer to the onion that has become the Core Story, and keeping to the basics, there were allegedly three separate meetings between USG employees and extraterrestrial entities during the 1940s, 1980s and 1990s – the next somewhat opaque layer suggests that the visitors brought with them a disturbing message for humanity.

In the 1990s, Richard Doty contacted Dan Smith and discussed, for the first time as far as Mr Smith can recall, a Core Story and disturbing message. Though, as I understand it, Doty didn’t elaborate any further on the message to Mr Smith apart from stating that it was indeed, disturbing.

During a conversation with Mr Smith in the spring of 2006, I asked him why he hadn’t gone directly to his DNI source to request more information on this alleged message - my logic being that if there truly were such a message it would either confirm Mr Smith’s metaphysical explanations for the visitations or negate them. He stated that it wasn’t necessary, although an offer to meet with ET had been made, according to Smith.

In an email sent to a small list in the fall of 2005, Dan Smith writes:

“Jack, et al,

I hesitate to interject a note of seriousness into all this frivolity, but here it is:

It has been several years since I had some phone conversations with Rick Doty, under the auspices of Ron, concerning the alleged visitation, as a result of which I played a non-trivial part in the early dissemination of the ‘core story’ under the guise of Beltway Throat.

Since that time I have been concerned mainly with the larger picture or the metanarrative, i.e. “Whence come we? What are we? Whither do we go?” (Paul Gaugin).

What concerns me presently is the possible connection between the core story and the metanarrative.

What I got from Rick was only a statement to the effect that a principle or possibly primary reason for the subsequent cover-up was the disturbing nature of the message brought to us by the visitors.

I would appreciate any comments or educated speculation on this possible linkage.”

I wrote to Doty asking for his opinion on Mr Smith’s inferences.

Doty replied with:

“I don't associated [sic] my beliefs in others. I know the truth and I know that some people make up things, such as Smith's postulations. Of course, they are just postulations created by Smith based on other people's stories or events. Once you separate fact from fiction, you can see the "visitors" are not here to hurt or endanger us. However, we have no control, nor do the "visitors" of other's who visit our planet.”

In Nov 2005, Doty dropped me a line to make a small admission. He wrote:

“Caryn:

One area I have not been truthful in is abductions. I know more that [sic] I can say. Lets just leave it at that. Most people don't want to hear what I know.”

Shiver me timbers! I did want to know and wrote straight back asking for details. I was promised a file of information, some seventeen months later and I’m still waiting. I also inquired about the ‘disturbing message’. Doty simply advised that I really wouldn’t want to hear it; it was after all ......disturbing!

There is a danger in these here parts of allowing oneself to become too deeply sucked into other folk’s alternate realities. These people are invariably ‘overnight’ experts on all things Alien and Cosmically profound. Closer inspection reveals this expertise is oft begged, borrowed and stolen from centuries old observation and philosophical ponderings, with a new twist to fit the current agenda, be that personal or otherwise.

I see a marked difference between Cultural Myth and deliberate manipulation of information to serve an agenda. Historically, Myth has served to process information and convey information from one generation to the next. The elaborations or Tall Tales ensure longevity, lest the next generation forget. Myth shapes societies, propelling them ever forward, but the ability to manipulate information, in the wrong hands, becomes a weapon against society and quickly becomes the antitheses of constructive Cultural Myth.

Towards the end of the Second World War we entered a new age, as one of my professional colleagues succinctly puts it. The ‘Age of Energy’ gave way to the ‘Age of Information’ as a means to manipulate people.

During a recent debate with Gary Bekkum, in which we were discussing some of the Trickster Tales themes, I presented the notion that we might be witnessing an ‘apparent’ ability for other people’s alternate realities to physically impact on our own realities - not just as shadowy, informational, meme-corrupted data, but real-time, sentient entities. This wasn’t being offered exclusively as explanation for the ET enigma of course, but as a possible extra facet, to an already excessively murky area, I agree.

Within eastern mysticism and western magickal systems it’s fairly well accepted that thought forms can and do take on a life of their own. The mystic and magician alike purposefully manufacture what are known as Tulpas, Egrigors or Genie, which act as servitors, created individually or collectively. This might best be described as the upwelling of psychokinetic energy attached to a thought form of intent, as apposed to randomly generated PK and poltergeist type activity.

In 1972, the Toronto Society for Psychical Research conducted an experiment to produce a ghost and gave it the name Philip. Philip began to manifest, doing the usual things one expects during a séance, rapping on the table, levitating objects and such like. The recordings of the sounds produced some interesting results.

Sharon McGovern writes:

“When the peculiar quality of the rapping was analyzed, the sound print showed a buildup to the sound’s peak rather than the other way around, as is normal. Philip also rapped on a metal plate specially wired to record vibrations and discourage fraud. He lifted his table about an inch and a half above the ground in front of the group and a film crew, which was caught by surprise and failed to record the event.” [1]

I understand that the experiment has since been successfully reproduced by various paranormal societies and pseudo/scientific bodies.

In the December of 2005, I was invited to take part in a pilot experiment to consciously manifest UFO type activity above and around a secret rural location in the UK.

The pilot experiment was being conducted under the auspices of the Society for Psychical Research.

[Correction added on May 15th, 2007. Caryn Anscomb was contacted by Peter McCue, who advised that the experiment was in fact conducted under the auspices of BUFORA, not the Society for Psychical Research.]

The proposed experiment was outlined in a short article that was posted on BUFORA’s (British UFO Research Association), website 2005 and forwarded to me shortly before the experiment:

INTRODUCTION

Could it be that we’re linked with one another in a ‘psychic internet’, and that our collective imaginings sometimes cause people to experience hallucinations and/or paranormal physical phenomena? The products of such subconscious interaction could be purposive – they might reflect ongoing wishes and concerns. For example, if there’s a widespread desire to believe that extra-terrestrial beings are visiting Earth, the psychic internet might generate phenomena suggesting that that’s the case1; and if many people have a strong desire to believe in life after death, ‘evidence’ suggesting post-mortem survival might be produced. But the psychic internet could be a complex mechanism rather than an all-wise ‘higher mind’, and some of its productions could serve no clear function or even be harmful.

If it exists, the psychic internet (or collective subconscious) could enable UFO cases to feed off themselves. For example, if a locality became known as a hot-spot for UFO activity, and if the matter received extensive publicity, the collective imaginings of members of the public could serve to engender new – and quite genuine – phenomena. The same could go for a location that acquired a reputation for being haunted. Paradoxically, then, it’s possible that a spurious case could turn into a genuine one if it received sufficient publicity!

Evidence from laboratory-based parapsychological research shows that paranormal effects can be instigated deliberately (see, for example, Radin, 1997). Tyrrell (1973) refers to cases in which people have deliberately made apparitions of themselves appear to others. He states: “I have found records of 16 occasions on which this…has been tried with success, and in most cases success has been achieved on the first attempt.”(p. 35). (Interestingly, he notes that on several of the recorded occasions, the agent went to sleep after concentrating his mind strongly on the percipient, and that it was then that the apparition was seen.) Tyrrell also refers to an experiment in which a Mr Kirk looked at a bright disc and tried to make a percipient see it. The percipient reportedly saw luminous clouds, which concentrated into a disc.

In the light of such reports, one might ask whether UFO experiences could be created, experimentally, in a similar way. But if the concept of the psychic internet is valid, it might be better to have multiple agents, all visualizing the same thing. If that ‘strengthens’ the process, the effects might go beyond the creation of short-lived sensory phenomena, and include electrical, mechanical, photographic, and biological manifestations, thereby giving a degree of physical reality to the UFO event.

PROPOSED METHOD

It’s suggested that we carry out a relatively simple pilot experiment, as follows:

A target site in a rural area will be selected, with the agreement of the principal occupants. (The decision to choose a rural setting for the target site is based on ethical considerations, since a UFO event occurring in a busy area could conceivably distract people and cause an accident.)

A number of people (perhaps 15 or more) will act as agents (i.e. visualizers). Before the ‘active’ stage of the experiment, they will receive photographs of the site, to help them imagine it during their visualization sessions. However, they won’t be told its location or the names of the occupants.

Each of the agents will be sent a script for the intended UFO event. (For example: Two large delta-shaped objects are hovering sixty feet above [a feature of the target site]… A smaller, circular, craft is emerging from one of the larger craft…It’s landing on the lawn behind the house… Three entities are stepping out…They’re walking over to a bush…They’re taking cuttings from it… They’re returning to the circular craft…It’s floating up…It has left indentations on the lawn…The circular craft is now merging with the delta-shaped one from which it came... The two delta-shaped craft are now shooting off in a south-westerly direction…) The script will be illustrated with drawings.

The scripted ‘action’ won’t be restricted to the visual modality. Sounds and/or other sensory impressions will be included.

The experiment will run for two weeks. During this period, the agents should spend at least 10-15 minutes, twice a day, imagining (as vividly as possible) the scripted scenario. This should be done in a quiet and comfortable location (e.g. lying on a bed), without distractions (TV, radio, etc.). If agents feel that it will assist their visualization, they can tape-record the script and listen to the recording during the visualization sessions. If possible, one of the visualization sessions should be carried out shortly before the agent’s bedtime.

The occupants of the target site won’t, of course, be shown the script – at least, not until the experiment has been completed. They will be asked to keep some basic recording equipment (a camera, camcorder, and tape-recorder) at hand for use in the event of anything unusual occurring, and to keep a diary of any anomalous incidents, strange or vivid dreams, or unusual impressions.

The results of the pilot experiment will be announced on the BUFORA webiste.

COMMENTS

If the occupants of the target site reported a UFO event that broadly matched the scripted scenario, critics might suggest ways in which this seemingly positive result had come about. For example, it might be suggested that one of the agents had recognized the target site from the photographs and had tipped off the occupants about the script! But on the plus side, the proposed pilot experiment should be relatively cheap and easy to carry out; and if it seemed to ‘work’, further experiments could be conducted, using a more rigorous methodology.”

[The pilot proved unsuccessful. There were a number of unforeseen logistical problems during the two-week visualisation process, not least the synchronization of the viewers which could have been better managed.]

McCue presented his conclusions in The Paranormal Review, 2006:

“The proposed experiment was outlined in a short article (McCue, 2005) that was posted on BUFORA’s website. It included an appeal for participants. But that was largely ineffective, and the majority of participants were recruited in other ways (e.g. by my e-mailing personal acquaintances and inviting them to take part). In all, 13 participants were recruited....

..A house in a rural area was chosen as a possible ‘target site’...

The participants were asked to familiarize themselves with the two action sequences described in the script and to spend at least 15 minutes, twice a day, trying to imagine the events occurring. They were asked to try to will them to happen. I asked them to visualize both sections of the script during each visualization session; and I suggested that the visualization sessions could be carried out in any suitable place of their choosing, even in bed. Regarding the second of the visualization sessions to be carried out each day, I suggested that it might help if they did it shortly before the time they normally fell asleep...

The participants were asked to carry out the twice-daily visualization sessions for a fortnight, the last day being 24th December 2005.

Outcome

I e-mailed Mr X [Target-site owner/occupant] in late December, and in addition to seeking information about any sights, sounds, etc., I asked him whether he, his wife, or any other occupants of the house, had had any unusual subjective impressions or dreams since the start of the experiment. Replying on 1st January (at which point he wouldn’t have known what was in the script), he stated: “We have nothing to report in the case of unusual activity during the time span of the experiment.” So far as I know, he and his wife haven’t experienced any delayed effects.

Using internet search engines, I’ve looked for information about any recent UFO sightings in the vicinity of Mr and Mrs X’s home, but I’ve not come upon any such reports. It’s possible that sightings have gone unreported or not been publicized; but, on balance, it appears that the experiment failed to produce the intended effects.”

[Given the ‘after experiment’ realising of strategic flaws, it would be of interest to see the experiment re-run in a more tightly controlled format.

 McCue’s full article ATTEMPTED GENERATION OF UFO PHENOMENA: A PILOT EXPERIMENT can be found in the July, 2006, edition of The Paranormal Review.[2]

There is an interesting bit of synchronicity to the above that I feel is worth a mention. The scripted visualisation for the evening sessions turned out to be a significant match to an experience I personally witnessed in 1996, in a remote location in the UK. I contacted Mr McCue after the first reading of it because I was concerned that my experience and bias might interfere with the experiment and skew the results to some extent (whether positively or negatively) and I suggested that I should perhaps withdraw from the experiment.

I was assured that the scripted scenario was purely coincidental, and after some consideration we decided to go ahead with my participation in the pilot experiment.

As an aside, for anyone looking into current experimentation on retrocausality (see physicist John Cramer’s work) the above scenario ‘might’ be of some interest.]

 		 
 

As the discussion between Gary and myself developed, we pondered on how myth and thought forms might manifest as a material reality over time, specifically focusing on the MJ-12 legends. We invited one of our sources into the debate, interested to hear what he might have to offer, and once again getting onto the Viral Meme topic.

Our contact puts forward the probability that the VMI (Viral Meme Internet) is technologically driven, which includes back-door computer viruses as well as front-door information memes and viruses, and further postulates that this is being perpetrated by a cadre` inside the Intelligence-Business Community (IBC) and outside the systematic and structural IBC review.

On discussing the manifestation of an MJ-12 type consortium, our contact further offered his opinion that the MJ-12, that may have been invented, is now a reality in the body of the ‘VMI’ IBC-driven organization.

The UFO community has been deeply penetrated by the manipulators of information, who couldn’t really give a fig whether there might be any valuable data pertaining to Aliens and contact hidden behind the deafening noise. That’s not their business; their business is information warfare.

A concern, which both my colleague and I share, is whether there is indeed anyone in the ‘right places’ taking the spooky phenomenon seriously enough. We haven’t seen any truly obvious signs of that being the case. There is a level of personal interest exhibited, certainly. Professionally, an interest in how information moves, who’s saying what and to whom. Any honest concern regarding the possibility that an exogenous intelligence penetrates our reality, with apparent ease and stealth? Well, if there is, our sources are in even better stealth mode than the phenomenon.

There’s been much speculation of late regarding impending Disclosure.....yet again! (See the Starpod Blog) [3] From my ‘lofty’ seat on the fence, I see little of magnitude coming in our direction in the foreseeable future. The best one might hope for at this juncture is some form of compromise between honesty and lies.
