Holmfirth is the most picturesque location for any
conference I've ever been to. It lies in a steep-sided valley in West Yorkshire around a rocky, fast flowing river. The
town has a lucrative tourist industry mostly courtesy of the BBC because it was
the location used to film the long-running and very successful TV comedy series
Last of the Summer Wine. There are
numerous pubs, cafes and shops catering to the busloads of visitors that arrive
every year to follow in the footsteps of Compo, Clegg, and Foggy as they stroll
around cooking up various childish schemes to get the better of Nora Batty. I
saw a group of Chinese people taking photographs; Last of the Summer Wine is one of the BBC's biggest exports as well
as being a domestic favourite. The sky was cold and grey as I stepped off the
bus in the centre of the town, and I got out the map I had printed out to find
the way to my accommodation. I had decided to camp again, just like I had at
the Bases Conference last week, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/the-bases-project-conference-2014.html.
Camping is very cheap and easy to organize and if you know what you're doing
you can be perfectly comfortable. The campsite was on the edge of town, however
in Holmfirth that often means a stiff climb. I left the main road, ascended the
dramatically steep and narrow streets and gazed at the unique local
architecture which is totally different to anything I'm familiar with. The town
consists almost exclusively of grey stone houses with dark slate roofs. This
style covers all periods, from buildings ostensibly dating back several
centuries, to fresh new developments with smooth facades unblemished by time.
As I climbed higher and higher, I had to dip into that legendary Hospital
Portering stamina because the roads continued upwards, their gradients showing
no mercy. The lanes passed between lumpy and precarious pastures of the richest
green. Sheep gaped at me as if they'd never seen a human being before; rabbits
bolted at the sound of my footsteps. Another distinctive difference is that the
fields near Holmfirth are edged by dry stone walls; indeed some of the earliest
houses I saw are also made of dry stone. These constructions are extremely
durable and can last for centuries; they use no cement and are built by
skilfully fitting the right shaped stones in the right places. I hear that this
is a dying trade known only to a few elderly artisans and in the future nobody
will remember how to do it. It's sad to think that the gaps I saw in the walls
might have to be replaced one day by the more mundane and familiar barbed wire
fences. A short but dense shower fell on me; the clouds above me looked much
closer than I'm familiar with; obviously because I was climbing higher and
higher. I almost tripped over one of many dead rabbits I was to come across
over the course of the weekend. My campsite was right on the crest of the hill
next to a smelly barnyard; it looked like an ordinary field about an acre in
size, no different to many of the others, and as I opened the gate I saw sheep
grazing in it. I paused, wondering if I'd come to the wrong place, but there
was one caravan parked up and a toilet hut, the only building; so it was indeed
a campsite, albeit a very rudimentary and empty one. I pitched my tent and
marvelled at the view. The lines of sight were extraordinary; to the west I could
easily see Manchester; indeed at night-time it would be laid out on the horizon
like an illuminated garden pond. The town of Holmfirth Pennines
towered over my campsite the same way the campsite towered over the valley. I
had a ringside seat on UFO Alley.
However I had no time for skywatching; as soon as I'd got my
tent up I went back down the hill into town to meet up with the other people
attending the conference, in many cases these were old friends and people I've
only ever associated with before online. I was delighted to meet them again,
people like Peter Robbins, Larry Warren, Richard D Hall and Brigitte Barclay. There
were a few new faces too whose names I knew but had never met, like Pia Knudsen
and Capt. Robert Salas. We fell into the Old
Bridge Hotel and beer speedily flowed our way. One man I have become very
close to in my internet social circles is Tim (not his real name). It was great
to meet up with him again; I've not seen him physically since last year's
conference, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/ufo-truth-magazine-conference-2013.html.
Tim kindly offered to drive me back to the campsite after Friday evening's
festivities had died down. I gladly accepted; although the site was well within
walking distance. It is very steeply uphill, as I said, and if somebody offers
to give me a lift I don't plan to try and talk them out of it. Tim needed
bottom gear as we tacked up the hillside, the headlights disturbing the local
wildlife. We reached the campsite and I said goodnight and thanks to Tim, and I
entered the field as he turned his car round for the five minute drive back
down into Holmfirth. I was walking across the grass towards my tent when I
suddenly heard a man shouting angrily at the top of his voice outside where Tim
was. Tim drove off and the voice went silent. It was only the following morning
that I found out from Tim exactly what had happened. As he was driving away
from the entrance of the campsite somebody burst out of a neighbouring barnyard
and attacked him; luckily Tim was in the car and his assailant could only pound
the chassis with his fist as he hurled abuse. This was a baffling and
motiveless assault; Tim thinks the man was drunk. On Saturday night Tim offered
again to drive me back to the campsite; I suggested he drop me off a short
distance away in case the man came back out again to harass him. Tim refused
and said that he would happily take me to the same place he did last night. I
accorded, because after all, what was he doing wrong? He merely parked his car
for a moment to let me step out and then drove away. He has a perfect right to
do that and nobody should be threatening him or otherwise trying to prevent
him, least of all through violence and rudeness. As we followed our tracks back
up the hill we were preparing ourselves for any potential aggravation. I
recommended we grab tree branches to use as weapons, Dr Jonathan Reed style,
only half-jokingly. We laughed and quipped: "I bet he packs a hefty punch
seeing as he probably has seven fingers on each hand from inbreeding!" I
questioned that he might be some kind of escaped monster that the farmer had
been breeding in his basement, like in some story by HP Lovecraft. As I walked
past the entrance to the barnyard I was bracing myself for that thug to come
out again and attack, me as well this time. Tim kept his car in gear and pointing
towards the campsite gate. If the man came out again he planned to rush over
and back me up. But nobody did; all was quiet in the barnyard except for a dog
barking. But for now let us return to Saturday morning.
Gary Heseltine
This second UFO Truth Magazine Conference was a far more
ambitious project than the first one last year. Gary appears to be working his
way up the ladder bit by bit. He had booked a much bigger venue, the Holmfirth
Civic Hall, and made this a two-day event. I'm glad to say that he managed to
sell all his tickets too, which is a rare thing in this business. Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Leeds

Mary Rodwell
This is the second time I've seen Mary Rodwell in as many
weeks; she was at the Bases event, see link above. Mary has become famous for
her work with children and how so many of them nowadays are talking about
encounters they've had with non-human intelligent beings and the ways this is
affecting their lives. Through her work with a mutual friend of ours, Ellis
Taylor- see links column, Mary established ACERN, the Australian Close
Encounters Resources Network. She used to be a nurse, midwife and counsellor in
Britain but when she moved to Australia in 1991 she found a new calling. She
began to meet people who related the most extraordinary experiences: they had
had encounters with intelligent creatures that were not from this world. As
more and more of these people came into her life it became clear that this was
something that affected many people; many more than were willing to openly
admit it. It was also a global phenomenon and people from all over the world
were reporting very similar experiences. Some of these people developed
remarkable abilities as a result of their encounters like extrasensory
perception, high intelligence, healing and being able to speak and write in
unknown languages. Very young children report these encounters, sometimes almost
as soon as they’re old enough to speak. They often come out with information
that they couldn’t possibly know through conventional means; in fact it seems
that some of the extraterrestrial beings have a mission to educate human
children. One child said “I learn more on the ships than I do at school”.
Adults affected come from all walks of life and do not all fall into the
condescending popular characterization of “UFO nuts”. They include, among
others, an Australian model and an Israeli computer engineer. Remarkably, many
people who’ve had no contact with each other and live in very different
cultures see the very same creatures. There’s such a long list of different
beings that it's almost a full biological taxonomy. The classic “Grey” is the
species that has entered popular culture, but it is by no means alone; many
less well-known ones regularly visit experiencers: Mary has gathered
information on the attributes and personalities of the various creatures.
There’s the “Praying Mantis” that resembles a giant version of the insect of
that name. Despite it's fearsome countenance it is popular with its contactees
and seems to be wise and benevolent. The same can be said of the “Lion Man”, a
being that is humanoid, but is covered with golden fur and has a lion-like mane
and a feline face. There’s the “Owl Man” that is like a Grey, but it has
owl-like features; indeed it is sometimes seen in the form of an owl when it
first tries to make contact. Some beings are very humanoid like the classic
“Nordics”. Images of ET’s are not confined to modern reports; they’re described
in everything from mediaeval paintings to native African mythology and
Australian Aboriginal petroglyphs. Some children report completely unique
beings and give them their own nicknames like "clowny" and "the
scaries". It’s obvious that something very strange but manifestly real is
going on here. Mary describes this as a "trigger of consciousness",
the emergence of a new kind of human, Homo
noeticus- the conscious man. This comes at a time when the world is ruled
by malevolent forces that are desperately trying to prevent this emergence from
happening. It seems to me that a very subtle and silent war is going on; it
also takes the form of crop circles. Crop circles are actually just one
manifestation of many different kind of medium used by some intelligence out
there which is creating marks on the ground. Many people know that they also
use grass, sand and snow to plant shapes onto the earth, but in Australia

Alan Foster
Alan Foster is a writer and researcher on UFO’s, crop
circles and spirituality. His journey began in 1983 and he has come to the
belief that interactions with extraterrestrial life comes in three stages:
contact, preparation and awakening. He claims that we are already through the
contact stage and are onto the preparation, and the chief sign of this is the
emergence of the crop circle phenomenon. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of
scientific research has been done on crop circles, and some has concluded
positively that they are not all man-made hoaxes despite claims to the
contrary, like from Matthew Williams at Bases, see link above. The Leavengood
study has shown us that the methods used by the known human hoaxers are not how
many of the formations are created. They are actually created by focused energy
beams into the growth nodes of the plants causing them to bend over. Autopsies
of plants in crop circle lay show burning and expansion bubbles in the stalks
at those growth nodes. Non-human made crop circles also contain magnetic
anomalies. Compasses go wild in them and birds, which use the Earth’s magnetism
to navigate, refuse to over-fly them. Sometimes crop circles appear in
daylight, like the Stonehenge Julia Set which appeared in a thirty minute
period in daytime, witnessed by two Stonehenge
security guards and a pilot flying a light aircraft overhead. The pilot, Busty
Taylor, went on to become a croppie himself and presented the Bases conference
last weekend. A disturbing aspect to this phenomenon is that the authorities
seem to be engaged in a campaign of harassment of crop circle visitors. Many
people who’ve visited them for scientific data, or even just to sit and
meditate in the formations, have been chased away by military helicopters. Alan
spoke at some length about a series of crop formations that emerged near the
Chilbolten radio telescope in Hampshire. This could be because Chilbolten was
once part of the SETI network, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. One
image was of an alien face, another was a fascinating adaptation of the Arecibo
Peter Robbins
"Time to pull the pin" said my old friend Peter
Robbins as he entered the auditorium to give his speech. One of the most
notorious characters in the UFO world is Nick Pope. This former... or allegedly former... government agent was
originally in charge of "Secretariat Air Staff 2A", a rather prosaic
name for the UFO desk at the UK Ministry of Defence, one of the few official
UFO research operations in the world since the closure of Project Blue Book in
1970. He has authored several books on UFO's and also was keen to promote the 1997
book Left at East Gate by Larry
Warren and Peter, describing it as "dynamite... meticulously researched...
gripping and provocative." The authors and Nick Pope became good friends
and Pope assisted them with their promotional tour. This was a happy time for
Larry and Peter; the book was sailing up the best-sellers list, a copy had been
sent to Tony Blair and that late, great UFO hero Admiral-of-the-Fleet Lord
Hill-Norton was making some great scenes in Parliament. So when Nick Pope
published a new book on the Rendlesham Forest Incident- Encounter in Rendlesham Forest- the Inside Story of the World's
Best-Documented UFO Incident (Thomas Dunne Books 2014) which he co-authored
with Jim Penniston and John Burroughs, two of the principle witnesses, Peter
returned the favour. However as soon as he read it he knew something was badly
wrong. His review was intended to be a short article in Phenomena magazine but it soon blossomed into an entire volume in
itself, with lots of sources and footnotes which the reader can check; one of
Peter's criticisms of Nick Pope's book was that it lacked such background
material. Peter has published the book for free online, see: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByUXMaBHOgPLUUJIQmd5V1I5dUU.
He called it Deliberate Deception- a Case
of Disinformation in the UFO Research Community, a descriptive title if
ever there was one. I should point out that I've not yet read Nick's new book,
yet I intend to and will be able to confirm or deny whether or not I agree with
Peter's assessment. I will also be interviewing John Burroughs on the HPANWO
Show soon and I intend to ask him about the points Peter raises. Peter read out
some excerpts from his critique while on stage. He feels very annoyed that
Nick's book draws heavily on Left at East
Gate, but there is no acknowledgement of that fact in the text; Peter
describes this as plagiarism, which it is by definition if so. Also Peter
thinks Nick purposely downplays Larry Warren's role in the Rendlesham Forest
Incident, an attempt to write Larry out of the story by omission. Peter
specifically addresses Nick in his review and feels that although Penniston and
Burroughs are officially listed as co-authors, they are really just sleeping
partners in the firm, offering only token assistance to the real mastermind
behind it- Nick Pope. For example he says that nobody has ever backed up
Larry's claim that he was there on the night of the 28th and the airman Larry
was with, SSgt. Adrian Bustinza denies it. This is not true; although Bustinza
has generally kept very quiet about the RFI in recent years he did state
categorically that Larry Warren was
with him that night when the craft landed at Capel Green. Bustinza also made a
comment that he had seen another object just like it land in Alaska Suffolk US

Richard D Hall
I've known Richard D Hall a long time and we've collaborated
on several occasions, see links below. He's a very independent and self-styled
researcher who runs his operation virtually single-handed. This includes his TV
series, his films, his investigations and his nationwide tours, like his recent
one in London that I attended, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/richplanet-live-in-london.html.
His research is extremely varied and covers a wide range of subjects beyond
UFO's; in fact he's just completed a documentary about the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann. Before that, he released what was surely his most disturbing
film, UFO's and NATO- the Human
Mutilation Cover-Up. It's freely available online: http://www.richplanet.net/starship_main.php?ref=175&part=1.
It's been known for a long time that animals have sometimes been found dead
suffering from mysterious injuries that can't be explained by the usual causes
of death- attacks by predators, disease, accidents etc. Flesh stripped off the
jaw, organs surgically removed etc. Although this is often called "cattle
mutilation" all kinds of species have been struck down by it, wild animals
as well as farm livestock, even marine mammals. What Richard has discovered is
that it was premature of us to assume that Homo
sapiens was immune. There have been instances, including two confirmed in
the UK, of human bodies turning up with these kinds of injuries- a teenage girl
and young man in the Brecon Beacons in Wales and a group of seven people in
Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire. When this happens there is an even bigger
attempt to cover up the details than when it happens to animals. There's even a
special military unit that secures the scene of these shocking incidents and
sometimes it has to deal with UFO's and aliens on the ground. Richard has
managed to contact a former member of this unit via a UFOlogist in South Wales . Richard has visited the man and confirmed
his identity and he was a part of this taskforce, Section Five-Eight, a
detachment of the SAS special forces regiment and the Royal Engineers. Since
making the film Richard has found an independent source to confirm that this
unbelievable and terrifying phenomenon is real. Who... or what... is behind
this, and why, is a big question with no obvious answers. The same question
that was asked when animal mutilation was first identified by Linda Moulton
Howe in the 1970's. None of the theories proposed so far fit, but there is
sometimes a connection between these attacks and UFO activity. I'm disappointed
to report that when Richard contacted Linda Moulton Howe about his research she
instantly dismissed it. She tabled all kinds of totally inadequate explanations
even though these bodies had suffered the exact same kind of mutilations she
herself had identified as anomalous in cows and other beasts. This is
suspicious; could LMH have been turned into a "limited hangout"? I
hope not, but she has reacted very unexpectedly. Like myself, Richard is interested
in the behaviour of the media and has studied their underhand machinations very
carefully. He was approached by Plum Pictures to take part in what they call
their "documentary" about UFO conspiracies. Like myself, Richard
wisely declined in no uncertain terms; see here for background from 23.50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMdyMb8ndPk.
Unfortunately some of our peers have agreed to assist Plum Pictures; this is
foolish and I'd be very surprised if it doesn't lead to disaster, like with the
Off The Fence fiasco, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/confessions-of-alien-abductee-aftermath.html.
Richard has developed a very dim view of Miles Johnston and explained on stage
why that is. I don't agree at all and I think Richard is being unfair to Miles;
Miles has done a lot of good work in raising awareness and distributing
information. The AMMACH and Bases witnesses are always eager volunteers to be
interviewed. Afterwards most of them remain pleased to have been involved. Many
of these witnesses are close friends of mine and they feel they've achieved
something and made a difference to the world by being on the sofa. In terms of
their personal wellbeing they've commented to me that they find it healing and
inspiring. This is not to say that Miles hasn't made a lot of mistakes; he's
given a platform to some highly incredulous characters indeed over the years,
but all in all I think he's genuine and has done a lot of good. That being
said, Richard is correct to criticize Miles for signing up with Plum Pictures,
and I do so myself in my recent interview with Miles, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/programme-92-podcast-miles-johnston.html.
It's an extremely ill-advised move, especially in light of recent experience
with Off The Fence, and when the programme is broadcast I think this will
become very obvious. Miles was originally going to be at the UFO Truth Magazine
Conference and manage the filming, but he had cancelled at the last minute
meaning that the conference was not recorded. Some have speculated that this is
because of Richard's presence there, but I doubt it. Miles was happy to speak
at last autumn's Probe conference when none other than Joanne Summerscales was
in the audience, and he did so with great dignity, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/return-to-probe.html.
Richard's lecture on human mutilations gave me the chills I must admit. I think
Richard is quite correct to speak out about the subject and I'd frankly be much
more concerned if people were not
talking about it, but I did feel a bit vulnerable when I was lying in my tent
that night, up on top of a remote hill where anything could come and grab me if
it wanted to.

And my latest interview on Richplanet TV: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/ben-emlyn-jones-on-richplanet-tv.html.
Stephen Mera
I first came across Stephen Mera when I read his enthralling
book Strange Happenings; it was a
vital research textbook for my film Gateway
to a Parallel Universe, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/gateway-to-parallel-universe.html.
I was delighted to be able to interview Steve personally at later on at Exopol,
see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U81u057HVK8.
He is the chief editor of Phenomena
magazine and a member of MAPIT, Manchester Bell
Pia Knudsen
UFOlogy in Scandinavia is
very old and very unique. It was the Swedish Army Air Corps who in 1931
deployed aircraft when a strange object appeared in the sky; this was the
world's first recorded UFO aerial interception. The region is also where the
"ghost rocket" phenomenon took place. These date back to the 1930's
and continue to be reported to this day. Unlike most UFO's these do bear a
moderate resemblance to man-made aircraft or projectiles; they tend to be
streamlined and have wings, fins and propulsion nozzles and they often end
their flights by dropping into lakes. Pia Knudsen is a Danish UFOlogist who is
the leading authority on the subject in the country and has earned an international
reputation for her research. She's a personal friend and colleague of Gary
Heseltine and writes for the magazine. She and Gary had a sighting at a lake
near Bergen Norway
Roberto Pinotti
The next of the conference’s foreign speakers came all the
way from Italy. Roberto Pinotti has been studying UFO’s since long before most
of the conference’s delegates were born. He can speak good English, but he has
a strong accent and I had to concentrate hard to understand him, and I’m glad I
did. He helped organize a very successful UFO conference in 2010 in San Marino,
as I read in Flying Saucer Review. He
has travelled the world working alongside J Allen Hynek and John Mack. In
Roswell he interviewed the witnesses Lt. Walter Haut and Glenn Dennis; he also
knew the late Col. Philip Corso, a well-known spokesman on the subject. I’ve
read Corso’s book and don’t quite know what to make of his story. Although he
is highly thought of in most of the UFO community, also he is a former intelligence
officer and Pentagon official therefore a high calibre witness, I can’t help
finding some of his testimony dubious, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/day-after-roswell-by-col-philip-j-corso.html.
Roberto told us that he “infiltrated” the scientific community, no mean feat
that. He concentrated on SETI-the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.
This is a project intended to detect radio signals from intelligent beings out
in the deep cosmos; it was passionately endorsed by Carl Sagan and he wrote a
novel about it which was turned into a film- Contact. Roberto tried to arrange an affiliation between SETI and
UFO groups, which seems bizarre. SETI proponents are totally Skeptical of UFO’s
for obvious reasons; it makes their efforts somewhat superfluous. Roberto also
defied Cold War allegiance by forging links with UFOlogists in the Soviet
Union; that area has the richest and most promising UFO data in the world.
There was the Tunguska event of 1908 and the famous sighting in Voronezh in
1989. Roberto’s journal Notiziaro UFO
published articles that were also put out in the famous Russian broadsheet, Pravda. Roberto also spoke about a wave
of UFO sightings in 1954; these included the incredible close encounter over
Florence at the packed football ground- Stadio Artemio Franchi in which a group
of objects flew low over a Fiorentina match, see here for more details: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/football-ufo-in-florence.html.
UFOlogy in Italy has a long history, in fact the dictator Benito Mussolini was
obsessed by the subject and ordered an official government investigation in
1933, a full fourteen years before Project Sign. Il Duce’s interest was sparked off by a wave of sightings of black
triangles, a form of UFO still widely reported today. Another case in Italy I’m
interested in is the creature encountered by Filiberto Caponi; Timothy Good
investigated this personally in his book Unearthly
Disclosures. See here for more detail: http://www.filibertocaponi.it/index.php?lang=it.
I asked Roberto about it and he laughed. “That one is nothing to do with UFO’s
he said. It’s cryptozoology!” Technically he is correct. There’s nothing connecting
the being Caponi claims to have encountered with ET, but the features of the
entity do resemble those reported by witnesses of beings which do come from
close encounters of the third kind, so is Roberto being a bit hasty? It was
good to meet Roberto and his wife; it was a very interesting lecture.
Capt. Robert Salas
Stephen Hawking once commented on UFO’s; through his electronic
voice box he declared that, seeing as they only appear to “cranks and weirdoes”
he was very sceptical of their existence. However this next witness is a member
of a profession who, by its very nature, has had his psychiatric health more
carefully monitored and screened than anybody else in the world. The job Capt.
Robert Salas USAF, ret. used to do was man the launch control station for
intercontinental nuclear missiles. In the event of all out nuclear war it was
his finger that was “on the button”, and he who would send the missiles on
their way. If at any time he launched his missiles without authorization, because
he lost his mind, or by mistake, then the country targeted would most likely
shoot back before asking questions and this could result in an all-out exchange
which would destroy the world forever. Who would let a “crank” or “weirdo” do a
job like that? Yet Capt. Salas did have an encounter with a UFO and he is
speaking openly about it today. It was one morning in 1967 and he was on duty
in the launch facility. This is in an underground bunker, or “capsule”, in a
rural area of Montana USA, a long way from his headquarters at Malmstrom Air
Force Base; nuclear facilities are always spread out over a wide area in remote
locations so that they can’t all be targeted by enemy fire. He was in the
bunker monitoring the missiles, ready as always in case the order came through
to launch, when he received a phonecall from the security police outside. There
was a strange light flying around beyond the compound. Half an hour later there
was a large glowing red object hovering right outside the gates. At the same
time an alarm went off on the control panel. All the missiles began to shut
down. Pretty soon all the siloes were in a no-go situation. It’s reasonable to
presume that the presence of the UFO’s disabled the missiles. There were
several other similar incidents at other nuclear bases. As Pia Kundsen also
revealed, UFO’s seem to be fixated on our military activity, especially nuclear
weapons. I myself took a photo of a UFO close to a nuclear weapons facility,
see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2gBQVSgfvg.
The UFO’s clearly have the ability to interfere with the electronics of nuclear
missiles. Does this mean if it ever came to a war they’d step in and put a stop
to it; don’t know, but I hope so. However at the time Capt. Salas had his
encounter America was not at war and his team were on routine alert. Why did
the UFO’s choose that time and place to fiddle? Only they know. Since then
Capt. Salas has appeared at the Citizen Hearing and studied man more cases of
UFO’s at nuclear sites, in Israel, Pakistan, Russia and many other places.
There were events in Vietnam too. He refers to what he calls “The Secret Group”
people who know some of the facts about UFO’s which they’re not willing to
reveal to the rest of us; this sounds like the same people Richard Dolan calls
“the Breakaway Civilization”. Capt. Salas said that Wilbert Smith, a Canadian engineer,
knows a lot more as well, see here for more details: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/who-is-wilbert-smith.html.
Capt. Salas has had many contact experiences of his own, which might be an
answer to why the UFO’s buzzed his team that day in 1967. He’s a staunch
advocate for Disclosure and it was interesting to hear his speech.
I felt quite drained of energy as the conference drew to a
close. I did also after Bases last weekend; it’s strange how just sitting there
listening can take it out of you. We headed off to the Old Bridge for a social gathering and I had a “dirty burger” which
was very nice. I had a lovely evening chatting to old friends and then it was
time for bed. Some people left on the Sunday evening, but this was out of the
question for me; I decided to stay overnight and travel home on Monday. The
wind had strengthened during the day and the walls of my tent were battered
continuously; it felt like somebody was punching them over and over. It rained
very hard as well. However the fabric and poles of the tent held firm; not bad
seeing as the tent is over fifteen years old. I bought it in 1998 for a trip to
Ireland and it’s still in good shape. I couldn’t help feeling slightly uneasy
because of what Richard D Hall talked about. The unfortunate victims of human
mutilations are often people alone in remote areas like the Brecon Beacons and
Dalby Forest. The campsite I was in was empty, my tent was the only one and
there were no buildings as I said; I was several miles from Holmfirth on the
isolated crest of a hill hundreds of feet above the populated valley. It was
dark, cloudy and windy out there. I was intensely aware of my vulnerability.
Was this the last anybody would hear of me? I’d be listed as missing while
Section Five-Eight’s helicopter flew in to pick up my remains. Nevertheless I
eventually drifted off to sleep. When I woke up it was light and the wind and
rain had stopped. I breathed an only just slightly tongue-in-cheek sigh of
relief and crawled out onto the waterlogged ground to strike the tent and pack
everything into my rucksack. I then realized that I hadn’t paid the lady who
runs the campsite. When I first booked online I couldn’t pay right then because
I’m kind of “between bank accounts” right now… if you know what I mean. I
phoned up the lady and explained and she said that was fine; all I had to do
was give her the fee in cash when I arrived. However, as I explained, there was
no management accommodation at the site and her personal address was in another
town a few miles away. I had not seen her all weekend; nevertheless I was out
all day from early till late and this might be why. So I had no choice but to
head for a post office and send her the money via a postal order. When I got
home and fired up my PC I had an email from her entitled Thanks for Nothing! It went on to say: Hi Ben. I noticed you’ve just packed up and left without paying. Here I
am trying to run an honest business and people can’t be honest with me. I
should have known better than to trust people. I never will again! It was
signed: a very upset campsite owner.
I’ve noticed that trust is generally regarded as a rather quaint and naïve
notion in the modern world and those who succumb to it are suffering from
childishness and weakness; this is deliberate social conditioning I think, see:

Even somebody at the conference suggested that I do a runner and count myself
lucky that there is still “one born every minute” and I’d quite rightly
squeezed thirty quid out of one. If I had decided not to pay her it would have
been easy. I didn’t give my home address or surname when I booked over the
phone. No doubt there are many people who would hold her to blame for her
gullibility had I done so. She apologized after I emailed her to explain. Presumably
the postal order has arrived by now. I’m glad I didn’t cheat that lady, and
that I did cheat the social
manipulators. The second UFO Truth Magazine Conference was a glorious success
and I’m very grateful to Gary Heseltine and his family who took part; also to all
the speakers and assistants. I talked to the other delegates and I didn’t come
across a single one who had any complaints. I had a great time and can’t wait
for next years which will hopefully be even bigger and better.
