A MAN IN BLACK, AN IMPLANT AND A BEAUTIFUL MIND

A MAN IN BLACK, AN IMPLANT AND A BEAUTIFUL MIND
By Farah Yurdozu


“A Beautiful Mind” directed by Ron Howard in 2001, starring Russel Crowe and Ed Harris, not only gives us the less known details from the life of renowned mathematician John Nash, but also opens up a very clear page of the Cold War years where panaoia seized the mind of the masses. The end of the Second World War saw the beginning of new worries such as the nuclear threat, worldwide spy conspiracies and a possible invasion by Communists... or from Extra Terrestrials when the new UFO age began with the Roswell crash case.

This was the outer world of John Nash in the 1950’s. But according to this movie, his inner world seems to be much more complex than his outer one. “A Beautiful Mind” takes us first to his Princeton years where he quickly became recognized as a young genius, although he is socially very ackward. His friendly roommate Charles offers him companianship and soon becomes his only link to the outer world where normal people do normal things. Young John Nash claimes that he doesn’t like people, and people don’t like him. Only a little girl, Charles’s niece, brings some joy into his life.

When John Nash graduates from Princeton we see him on a special mission in the Pentagon as a successful code breaker. After that, “Big Brother” William Parcher enters in his life and his mind. William Parcher is a typical man in black (MIB) that we know very well from UFO literature. Cold, controlling, demanding and scary. He has a kind of artificial look with his pale skin and ice blue eyes. He wears the classic black hat and suit, and drives a black car. This MIB offers Nash a chance to become a vital member of a secret operation against the Russians, who are trying to explode a portable atomic bomb in the United States. John immediately accepts this top secret mission without considering the consequences.

In a secret facility John is given a radium implant in his arm which can only be seen under a special light. The implant makes him a total spy of the black ops. And all he has to do is study magazines and newspapers in order to detect the secret codes the communists use to communicate with each other via advertisements, articles and headlines. John starts to look for the hidden messages, cutting out and collecting thousands of newspapers. He comes to believe that Russian agents are after him. While he frantically tries to serve the government and save the country under the pressure of MIB Parcher, he is diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Roommate Charles, his niece Marcie and MIB Parcher never visit John when there are other people around. In fact nobody sees and knows them except John himself. Time passes and everybody gets older but they always stay the same age. Because they are not real humans. But what or who are they? Do these mysterious people only exist in John Nash’s reality, which is shaped by schizophrenia.? Or do they come from another dimension? The dilemma is this: was John Nash contacted by some otherworldy beings or was all this the symptom of his schizophrenia?

And what about spiritual possesion? Could it be another explanation for this case? What we see in John Nash’s life fits exactly with what we also see in paranormal, spirit and demonic possesion cases. When one or more non-human beings or entities start to command and control the human brain, mind and soul, the possession can cause heavy emotional and physical damage. The possesed person can believe that he or she is chosen by the superior beings for a very important mission such as saving the world from a disaster or from enemies. He keeps talking, seeing, answering the beings who cause the possesion and lives under their control.

Today we know very well that not all of the Alien abduction or UFO contact cases are real. Depending on various reasons, a spirit possession could mistakenly be interpreted as an Alien-ET contact as most of the times it is difficult to see the diffirence, especially at the beginning. The spirit or being posseses the human, and can convince him that the contact has Extra Terrestrial UFOlogical sources. Another common point is that many of the supposed ET-UFO contactees have no scientific background which would help them to evaluate the reality of the contact.

Sometimes this kind of possession is not limited to only one person. A group of believers come together and create the UFO cults where the chosen one is seen as the “New Age Savior” sent by the Extra Terrestrials. The chosen one starts to channel and writes thousands of pages of messages from his contact. Generally the channeled messages are a mix of philosophy and religious information; they lack of the scientific touch and they repeat themselves: “Love each other”, “You are all brothers and sisters”, “We are your space brothers”, “We’ll be landing soon to take you to our planet” are very well known types of messages in this field. In fact the channelling process is only the reflection of the personal inner expectations and hopes. And it has nothing to do with real Extra Terrestrials. But the alleged “contactee” believes that his contact MIB chases him, controls and reads his mind, government agents are listening to his phone calls and monitoring his emails, while his space brothers keep leading him on with new landing dates.

John Nash believed that he was hired for a secret government project. He also believed that he was given an implant. Later he tried to remove it but when he cut himself there was nothing in his arm. As we know, in many cases Extra Terrestrials claim that they remove the implants before they can be detected by X-Rays. Did the same thing happen to John Nash? Did they give him an implant and later remove it?

As his doctor explains, John Nash never had a roommate at Princeton. Agent William Parcher never existed. But they were real for John Nash. They were also real in their own dimension. Just like we see in some of the ET contact or spirit channeling cases only the contactee can see or hear them.

After John Nash is hospitalized and medicated, his mysterious friends dissappear for a while. But when he quits his medication they come back, forcing him to work for the secret project again. The rest is an inner battle of the famous mathematician trying to get rid of MIB, roommate Charles and his niece Marcee who became insistent ghosts. These three beings, non-human entities or spirits who posses Nash are desperate to take him under their control again. They attack him, humiliate in front of others and constantly bother him in every place and time. Nash manages to ignore them. As much as he ignores them, they lose their power, become less aggresive and keep distant. But they are still there, watching.

“A Beautiful Mind” gives us a happy ending when John Nash wins the Nobel Prize. We really don’t know how much of the reality is in the movie. But even in the Nobel ceremony these three beings follow Nash, silently. As Nash explains in the movie, they are there, maybe they will never go away, but he just doesn’t pay them any attention.

Maybe John Nash was really hired to work in a secret government mission. Maybe his MIB was real just like his implant. Maybe the diagnosis of schizophrenia was a cover to keep this secret. Maybe he was mind controlled and manipulated by otherworldy powers all his life. It is hard to know. Only Nash himself knows the truth... if he was allowed to know of course.

I had my first books signing and lecture day at Disclosure Network New York on October 6th.

October 2008 updates

After a busy and intense summer full of conferences and travels to Roswell New Mexico, San Jose California MUFON Symposium in October we had the second Culture of Contact Conference here in New Jersey at home. Culture of Contact art show is still going on where we are exhibiting our paintings inpired by UFO /ET contact.

Also my fifth book has published in Turkey "UFO Forbidden Zone" ( UFO Yasak Bölge ) in Turkish. In this new book my Turkish readers will find a lot of information about the recent UFO cases from the world and US. Also the history of ET / Alien contact for thousands of years is another important topic that I included to my book.

HITTITES ; THE FIRST ET-HYBRID CIVILIZATION ON TURKEY
By Farah Yurdozu

Around 2000 BC a mysteries nation came to Turkish land from Caucausus mountains section. Where they decided to settle up and what they called homeland was a very wide area of today’s Turkey from east to west, north to south of our country. They were Hittites. Hattuşa ( Boğazköy ) became the capital of the kingdom. We know almost nothing about their history before their settling in Boğazköy. We also don’t know exactly where did they come from or why did they choose Turkish land to start a new legend in ancient history. What forced them to leave their country and inmigrate to a new place? Who were they? In fact their original name was “Nesili” in the meaning of “The ones who speak Nesi language”. The name of Hittite was given them by the modern arqueologists much later based on the Old Testament texts.

Hittite kingdom quickly became the first political organization in ancient Turkey. They are also known as the first constitutional monarchy. They were much more advanced than any other society of their time in arts, arquitecture and military structure. These were the visible and solid aspects of a huge civilization. But Hittites were also known with a supernatural, out of this world contact. They were famous as the kingdom of thousand gods.

Hittites’ national identity, daily and social life, was shaped in the hands of their multiple Gods. The main and most important one was The Sky God Teshup. He was controlling the wind, hurricaines, rain, water and human life directly. Also Hittite kings respected and feared him a lot. But even the most powerful God had an enemy. According to legends Teshup had a battle with the Dragon God Illuyanka. There is a very famous wall relief in Turkish city Malatya which is located on ancient Hittite territory. The wall picture shows the battle between God Teshup and God Illuyanka. On the wall relief sky God Teshup and his son are depicted as humans. Both of them are wearing very modern looking one piece boots and pants, military looking jackets, hats or helmets. Their outfit has a uniform style which reminds me the 1970s style Science Fiction movies fashion just like what we saw in TV series. Opposite the human looking gods, Dragon God Illuyanka is a gigantic size creature which is a mix of a dragon and a reptile.

The story starts with a fight between Teshup and Illuyanka and the first part ends with the victory of reptilian dragon. Teshup’s godly power and good will wouldn’t be enough to defeat the monster. Illuyanka takes Teshup’s eyes and heart. Altough Teshup loses his vital organs he survives and promises to get a revenge. An oracle advises him that he must get married to a mortal woman and have a child from her in order to defeat the monster. Teshup gets married to a human woman and they have a son. The young child comes to age of marriage and falls in love with Illuyanka’s daugther. When Teshup wants to kill Illuyanka his own son takes the part of the dragon. Teshup kills both his son and Illuyanka and gets back his eyes and his heart.
The symbolism of this story is fascinating and also very contemporary. Now before encoding the symbolism of the legend let’s remember some imortant facts about Turkey. Turkey always have been the land where the stories told about Gods who came from the sky and where a reptilian race lived and created the underground cities. What happened between Teshup and Illuyanka is a perfect symbolism of the ancient history. Let’s imagine two different Extra Terrestrial races one Nordic and almost human looking and the other from Reptilian race with scary aspects. It is hard to know why and how they ended up on my native country Turkey. But it is obvious that they didn’t like each other.

I don’t want to take the concept of “ battle” literally. Maybe these two extraterrestrial races didn’t come face to face in a real battlefield. The battle was about their technological or scientific advances. Maybe it was about a genetical research and hybridization project. Now let’s try to see the case with another point of view and let’s replace the “battle” with another word;“challenge”. Is it possible to think that Teshup and Illuyanka being the leaders of two separate groups of investigation and were having a serious conflict due to their purposes of being on the earth? Just like two rival scienmen. Maybe they were compiting severely and what they were involved was a challenge of a scientific experiment? The first part of the challenge ends with the victory or success of Illuyanka. And Teshup loses his eyes and his heart but this doesn’t kill him. Did he loose a very important, a vital part of his scientific research? An advanced tool or formula which was really important for the hybridization process? Although this defeat he was ready for the second round.

And what about the “oracle” advises Teshup to get married and have a son from a human woman? Could it be a scientific adviser or a genetic expert? Teshup is given a very clear genetic suggestion in order to defeat Illuyanka. Sky God listens his adviser and gets a hybrid son from a human woman. The result must be successful as the Sky God feels himself ready and well equipped to defeat his rival.

Now let’s talk about the successful result of the genetic experiment and having a half human hybrid son. I don’t think that Teshup was the only Nordic being who had a hybrid child from a human woman. I believe that Teshup represents the Extra Terrestrial race who had many hybrids from the humans. There wasn’t only one hybrid son, there were many of them. But in order to complete the experiment it was necessary for them to wait until Teshup’s son reachs to age of marriage. This is an interesting point, now let’s keep decoding the symbols. Teshup’s son must be at least a teen ager in order to help his father in the battle to get back his eyes and heart. He needs to be a teenager in order to be a part of the experiment. Just like the young hybrids who help around in the space ships that many abductees report during the abductions. Another possibility is that young hybrid son had to be a propiate age to breed and have his on offsprings.

Young hybrid is Teshup’s hope but his own son fails him falling in love with Illuyanka’s daughter. Let’s bring another interpretation to the story now; Nordics hope that the new hybrid race would be successful to complete the genetic experiment. But for some reason they prefer to join the Reptilian team and Teshup kills his own son and Illuyanka. Did Nordics destroy the hybrids and probably end the experiment and partnership with Reptilians? The story finishes here. But it is remarkable to see that how the possible scientific experiment effected a whole Hittite nation for thousands of years under the shadow of a worshipping. One way or another they successfully shaped the religious life of Hittite society. They easily managed to control the human life. Not only for the Hittites but they created the base for the general religious belief system in Middle Eastern region. The same belief system was interpreted in different ways but the main symbolyzm always remained same during thousands of years under different names.

Another interesting point of the story is the hybrid and reptilian marriage or the pact. Did they really transbreed between each other? If this happened how much of the Hittite nation was consisted from the hybrid and reptilian offsprings? How much of them survived through the centuries up today on Turkish land? Turkey always has been the land of different cultures and ethnic groups who have been living under one national identity. But sometimes cultural differences bring serious social problems. Today especially in the eastern parts of the country there is a conflict between some groups. As if the cultural identity problems are inherited from our Nordic-Reptilian-Human ancestors. It seems that the battle between the Nordics and Reptilians never ended.


Also the authentic name of Hittites was Nesili which resembles a lot to Nefilim. Once again let’s remember what says the Old Testament about The Nefilim: “The Nefilim were upon the Earth in those days and thereafter too. Those sons of the gods who cohabited with the daughters of the Adam, and they bore children into them”. – Genesis 6:4.

Are we talking about the same race who visited earth and created a mixed hybrid generation? Maybe. If we take a larger look at the Hittite civilization we may find more logical answers.

Hittites had a symbolic writing and they had a specific symbol for every noun, adjective and concept. The symbol for the gods was an egg shaped object divided in two pieces with a vertical line in the middle. The same symbol was also used in another wall relief as the head of a tiny creature who wears a military looking jumpsuit and boots. Why did they symbolyze the Gods with a simple ovel shaped object? The god symbolism may have two meanings; an egg shaped UFO or air craft, or the eyes of the Extra Terrestrial gods. Maybe symbolizing the gods with a simple oval shape was the easiest way to remember their outer space crafts. In our modern UFO times an egg shaped, oval and divided in the middle looking objects are very familir too. Let’s remember that the very typical aspect of the Reptilian eye is divided in two parts in the middle. The other interesting coincidence is that the reptiles born from an egg. If we are talking about reptilian gods showing them with an elliptical symbol is the best sign language.

Hittite Gods were controlling almost everything in human life, but they really didn’t care a lot about human race’s religious path or spiritual enlightenment. There were gods but where were the religion? What what the religious teaching? In fact there was no teaching. The worshipping was consisted of every kinds of sacrifitions. Hitite Gods wanted animal and human sacrifitions from humans. This was the primary worshipping. Also humans had to donate gods food, wine and gold. It seems that whoever were the “gods” they knew how to get free food, wine and gold in the easy way. And again for some reason they needed animal and human blood from sacrifitions. Blood for the scientific experiments? Maybe... And what about the gold? To use it in their flying machines? Why not?

Ancient Hittite worshipping left important traces in time. Another tradition was to donate gods sacred bread and sacred wine...

Whoever they were they used religion as a mind control way over humans. And they never revealed their real identity. In another words they came and stayed here on earth with their own cover-up hiding behind the fake identity of gods.

As we very well know the Nordics and the Reptilians has been the focus point of Alien close encounters in many UFO cases. Teshup may not be the name of a single deity but he may be representing a Nordic race. In the same way maybe Illuyanka was not a single reptilian dragon but the name of a race with reptilian features. It is stil a mystery how did these two different races come together. According to some interpretations Reptilians were always here on earth. The huge web of underground cities all over Turkey could be built by them. And if Nordic-Hybrids really interbred with Reptilians what was the result? The eastern part of Turkey was always remarkable with the diversity of culture due to various races. That same region also have been the focus point of some severe terrorist activity in the last 40 years. Is it possible to say Nordic-Reptilian conflict still exists although today’s individuals have no idea about their origin? DNA memory is an important human factor on earth. Do we still represent and revive the battle between or Nordic and Reptilian ancestors today?

FROM MARS TO BRAZIL by Farah Yurdozu

FROM MARS TO BRAZIL

by Farah Yurdozu

While Phoenix is looking for the evidence of Extra Terrestrial Biological Life on Mars surface, on our own planet there is another new discovery. An isolated Indian tribe between Brazil and Peru was recently photographed by Brazil's National Indian Foundation, Funai.
Funai never contacts the isolated tribes in order to prevent the invasion their land. As you can see in the pictures men from the tribe were in panic and fear pointing the arrows trying to shot the “Unidentified Flying Object” over their heads. This little group of indians are living in the huts far from the modern, techological world ruled by computers. They are hunters and warriors as far as we can see.
Funai members say that there are 100 other uncontacted tribes worldwide. And they will remain as uncontacted maybe during all their life. Time to time they will observe some huge, fast, unknown, metalic objects flying over their village. They won’t be able to understand but they will name them. Maybe when the mysterious visitors gone, the tribe members will get together and discuss what they saw all together. They will draw the pictures of the flying objects, possibily they will think that they are visited by the Gods. Who knows, probably a new religion has already started based on their sightings.
Some of the tribe members, the ones who bring the best explanation to the mystery will be considered “experts” on the topic. They will exchange information with the neighbour tribes and compare their sightings and experiences with their own. And a legend borns from their angle from their angle of course. And the scary big machines which fly over their huts will never land and contact them. I am sure they don’t understand why?

Do we?

MYSTERIOUS BEINGS AT TURKISH MOVIE SET

Semum is a new Turkish movie about interdimentional beings which are also known as Jinns. I often talk about them in my lectures and explain how they are interested in having contact with humans. Last week a couple of behind the scene pictures from the movie was on Turkish press. Movie crew was very surprised to see unexplained paranormal beings on the photographs. In one of the pictures a human face is materialized on the door. In the other picture you can see another being in the fire. This one seems familiar to us with a round shape hairless head, big eyes, skinny arms. A possible Grey alien? The interesting thing is that according to our belief system Jinns are created from the fire. And Jinns have been doing everything that Grey aliens do with human society. Can this be another explanation to Jinn-Grey existence in the paranormal dimension?

I still didn't see the movie Semum. As far as I read from the press it is a basic possesion story. Semum is a negative paranormal being which tries to harm humans in order to eliminate human race. Semum belongs to Devil.

Let's hope that some of the Extra Terrestrial groups are not coming to us with the same intentions.

Please click on the pictures to see them in bigger size and make your own judgement.

THE UMMO LETTERS by Farah Yurdozu

When I first heard about the UMMO UFO contact case I was a Spanish Philology student at Istanbul University. In those years I was reading everything on UFO’s and I was reading anything in Spanish as well. UMMO was a perfect topic for me as it was a close encounter/landing UFO story from Madrid. The UMMO case had affected many people, had left behind much evidence. It took place in the 1950’s, long before the age of the internet, when that much-maligned tool, snail-mail, was an important medium for communicating. Now, word of ET-UFO contacts spreads at the speed of electrons all around the world. Then? It circulated among UFOlogists in the same mail bags with Valentine’s cards and junk mail. And sometimes the aliens used snail-mail too, as we shall see.
Just like many UFO cases, the UMMO case is a remarkable reflection on its era and its contemporary society. In late 1950’s, just alittle more than a decade after the Second World War, European skies were invaded by UFO’s. France, Italy and Spain were lucky to have all those wonderful day and night UFO flaps. It was exciting but at the same time it was a little bit scary, as those countries and their citizens were badly traumatized in the recent wars. France and Italy were struggling to rebuild after the Second World War. And Spain was still healing from its own destructive Civil War. General Francisco Franco emerged as dictator after the Spanish Civil War, ruling for the next forty years. Like many dictators he was a big proponent of censorship and coverups.
In those years the media consisted of newspapers and radio. And the Spanish media was totally under the control of the military government. So there was no political diversity or freedom of opinion. Perhaps it was for this reason that this fascist Mediterranean country was chosen by Extra Terrestrials from UMMO for a major UFO contact. Spanish writers, artists, philosophers and intellectuals couldn’t openly engage in political conversations in the Franco years. So those oppressed thinkers, epsecially in Madrid, secretly engaged in the Spanish tradition of “tertulia,” a kind of intellectual think-thank meeting. In the late 50’s, a buzz started circulating through these tertulias. Something new and exciting was happening, it was whsipered. Yes, it was true at last... UFO’s and extratrerrestrials were among us.
THERE’S AN ALIEN ON THE PHONE FOR YOU, FERNANDO
Fernando Sesma was the director of “Association of Friends of Space Visitors" in those years. He was also a teacher and a journalist who organized weekly tertulias in the basement of a Madrid café. Extra Terrestrial life, occultism and paranormal mysteries were the topics of Sesma’s meetings. One day Sesma got the first of several strange phone calls. The caller introduced himself as DEI 98 and said that he was an alien visitor from the planet UMMO, which orbits the star IUMMA (Wolf 424 on our astronomical maps.) Sesma was given detailed information about UMMO’s political, social and religious system. Later Sesma was also given an extraterrestrial stone with special symbols on it. According to the phone conversations, thousands of visitors from UMMO had been living in many countries on our planet since March, 1950, mostly in Europe and Spain. UMMO men and women had Nordic physical aspects. As they looked a great deal like North European people, it was easy for them to live among us without causing suspicion.
When UMMO contact started, nobody knew about Grays or Reptilians. There had been no “official” abductions. So the idea of friendly, protective and helpful Extra Terrestrial visitors was extremely attractive to UFO fans and to the first generation of UFO investigators like Sesma and his friends in the tertulias. UMMO beings were generally open to contact but there was a problem: their vocal chords died after a certain age so they communicated telepathically between each other. But their human contactees didn’t have this ability. As a result the only way to reach humans was sending them typewritten letters.
The visitors form UMMO were masters of human language; they were speaking Spanish in Spain, French in France and so on. In Spain, two of them posed as Danish doctors. They placed an ad in a newspaper and hired a man to type their letters for them. He accepted the work and started to type “scientific” letters for his Danish employers. The letters were written partly in UMMO language and symbols, which he claimed was a fully developed language.
All over the Spain, hundreds of people started to get the UMMO letters. Some of them were posted from other countries, some from Madrid or Barcelona. Writers, lawyers, journalists, policemen and many others were sent UMMO letters, which were sealed with a special logo. Even some UFO investigators like Antonio Ribera and Rafael Farriols were sent informative letters. Some time later, the contactees were informed of an imminent UFO landing. The landing was going to be in the daylight hours and in a very public place.
And so it occurred. On the morning of February 6th, 1966, the first UMMO space ship appeared in Madrid suburb of Aluche. The object was orange in color, almost 40 feet long, disk shaped and luminous. On the lower part of the ship a huge UMMO logo was clearly seen: the same seal as on the letters. The object landed for a short period and left a perfect landing trace on the soil.
This sighting was seen by many witnesses. People took pictures of the ship from different parts of the city. One of the most important witnesses was psychiatrist Jordan Peña who took the object’s picture while it was in the sky and later photographed the landing marks. This was the long-expected UFO sighting that had been discussed for years in the tertulias! There was enough physical evidence, pictures and a lot of witnesses to make Spanish UFOlogists very excited indeed. And the excitement spread to the general public. Not even government censorship could contain the flap. The UMMO ship pictures soon appeared in daily newspapers. Prominent UFO investigators checked the landing area and found radioactive contamination around the landing marks. After another landing on June 1st, 1967, strange tubes were found which contained a liquid which evaporated as soon as the tubes were opened. There was enough material to fill books. So Antonio Ribera and Fernando Sesma wrote on the phenomena and were published.
SPACE VIRUS KILLS GIRL
In the meantime those so-called Danish “doctors” were quite busy. They managed to meet and gain the confidence of a noble Spanish lady called Doña Margarita de Villasanta. She lived in a castle in Albacete and was a very important personality in Spanish high society. The Danish doctors never revealed their real identity or mentioned UMMO to her. But they lived for a while with Doña Margarita and her children in the huge mansion. They even cured her psychosomatic problems. Doña Margarita didn’t hesitate to give them permission to set up a huge laboratory in the basement of the mansion, where they performed scientific experiments on numerous animals.
After a while Doña Margarita’s daughter died. She had been suffering from leukemia. Her body was taken to Madrid by the Danish doctors. But before they reached Madrid, for some reason they amputated her hand and removed one eye. According to them, she was infected by an Extra Terrestrial virus and the infection had affected her hand, eye and inside of her mouth.
Doña Margarita’s other children blamed her for their young sister’s death and sued their mother. They accused her of occult and witchcraft practices. The Danish doctors had to stop their experiments as Interpol and CIA opened an investigation of the case. The doctors vanished and the UMMO mission and contacts slowed down, then stopped. That virus didn’t kill only the young girl, it also killed the UMMO activity.
But even in 1980’s big names such as Antonio Ribera kept investigating the case. They had all those photographs and letters, lots of evidence, to fuel their passion for the truth. But the mysteries of UMMO weren’t solved until “Third Generation UFO Investigators” opened the case again.
REVELATIONS
While I was in Spain in the late 1990’s, I got together with some of those young UFO investigators, eager to discuss the UMMO case. But when I met Ribera he was tired of it and he politely let me know that he really didn’t want to speak about this case any more. In Spain the UFO approach had become more critical and realistic. Young UFOlogists or paranormal researchers were now coming from a deeper scientific, academic and journalistic background. They were well equipped with modern computer technology. They knew the tricks and how to catch them as well. And after a detailed investigation it was found out that famous UMMO ship pictures were fake. Very fake…
After that, the confessions came. The most surprising part of the story was the confession of Jordan Peña, one of the witnesses who took the UMMO pictures. In a detailed interview he explained how and why he had set up this long term hoax: he wanted to perform a social experiment. He wanted to see society’s reactions in a situation of UFO visits or landings. He wanted to see how people in a repressed society are eager to believe something that is properly fed to them. He made the model UFO’s, took the pictures. Even the landing marks and radioactive substance were fake (it was provided by his friends.)
Like a good conspirator, Jordan Peña admitted that he got help from some higher levels to prepare to this game. But it wasn’t the Spanish government. He said some groups from another country provided him the contacts, material and resources to set up the game. Although he convinced the regular newspaper readers in one way or another, the “real” UFO investigators never believed him. But it was necessary to wait for almost 30 years to before unveiling the hoax.
It is difficult to think that Jordan Peña did all this just for fun or to see society’s reactions. This cannot be accepted as an innocent joke or entertainment. The UMMO case was another sample of disinformation. Yes, just like all the other disinformation we are constantly fed without our knowing it. In UFOlogy we don’t need entertainment. UFO’s as entertainment are fed to us on TV shows, movies and in music video clips. Some hoaxes take 30 years to be exposed. Others, particularly in our modern information age, have a shorter shelf life before they become rotten and are disposed of. But they all cast discredit on the field of UFOlogy. And sometimes I can’t help but think that that very fact is the agenda behind them, not someone’s sense of humor.
UFOlogists and the public deserve the truth about extra terrestrial phenomena. Don’t you?
