I watched a show recently called Contact, suggesting UFO Contacts, which is roughly what it was about. The one I watched centered about the levels of Close Encounter. I had thought there only three and did so based upon the movie Close Encounters of the Third kind. In truth i caught the last few minutes on free to air and tracked it down through that channel's streaming app. In those few final minutes the narrator spoke of the 7 types of Close Encounter. This intrigued me having ever only thought there was 3. When I watched it from the beginning I was surprised to hear head of former Project Blue Book, J Allen (can't spell his name and too lazy to look it up online) Hynick, after a small puff piece praising his work and diligence in helping to bring the truth of UFO sightings to the ears of the public, had, back in the day, (I think Blue Book was officially shut down late 60's) created that list of 7. Close Encounters was what, 80's? Or was that E.T.? Problem is, number 7 is being an active participant in the Aliens Breeding Program, something that has only started being voiced, that I have heard anyway, within the last 3 maybe 4 years. Somehow, on that TV show it was back dated, using J Allen as a foundation, to the mid to late 60's. Thing is also, without looking it up, i am not certain he was the head when it was shut down. I recall seeing one news clip that i accept was 1958. And I am fairly certain he was head of Project Blue Book in its early inception but him being the author of the seven levels of close encounter, that indeed was news to me. Especially the seven that they listed. And with regards to what the show said with his bringing the truth to the public's attention. In everything i read written by him, i saw him as the Government's debunker. He coined Swamp Gas, Lights of Venus in the night sky and i am certain a few more to explain away what he never witnessed but was later told by true eye witnesses. Not that this is the first time the media has made it up and not only got away with it but by doing it having had many others use their made up story as a reference in their own work of money making fiction passed off as truth. A number of years ago, more than 4 and perhaps less than 10, I learned a certain TV based group of investigators / fact finder verifiers could not find any written reference to 'The people in the middle age thought the World was flat' before it first appeared in print around 1914 in 'some' city's News Paper. They knew and said it but I can't remember that detail and refuse to make one up just to make this sound like I am telling you all the facts. After that, it popped up in all sorts of places. Over 100 years later now, people still speak as if it is a known fact. I guess it is just a nice way for people to congratulate themselves on how much intellectually smarter (not just technologically smarter or more equipped) we are now compared to people in the Middle Ages; even if it is not true or at least thought up by some enterprising Journalist at the start of the last century and then Parroted by every lazy Journo, author and producer since. I often wonder if at some time in the future someone attributes us with an equally unintelligent wide spread belief to highlight our ignorance and ineptitude in order to make that population feel smarter about their selves? Time will tell. W.
