across the sky over his expedition camp in Mongolia --
9:30 a.m., August 5, 1920. Metallic disks were observed in the mountains of
Tibet in 1924. During WWII "Foo Fighters" were reported as surrounding aircraft
on both sides and described as "small, remote-controlled eyes." But most
"modern" reports of "flying saucers," as such, began on June 24, 1947, when
Kenneth Arnold observed nine "unidentified aerial objects" flying in V-formation
over Mt. Rainier. They were followed by many sightings elsewhere over the month
of July. Corpses from a crash in New Mexico, comprise the "Roswell Incident." At
that time Uranus (planet of "the skies") occupied 22º of Gemini, an air sign. In
2001, Uranus will again occupy 22º of an air sign, Aquarius (which is the
natural rulership of the planet). ET biological entities are said to have been
guests of the U.S. Government in an "exchange program" since 1948.
The mythological aspect (apart from their possible "reality"), according to Jung,represents the collective 20th Century's social restlessness. But ufos also have undisputed existence in other respects. Bob Swigart's theory of cetacean projection is worth considering. And, according to Steiger, ufos are interdimensional gateways rather than space ships. According to Vall‚e, they and their etherian passengers have always been a part of our pedagogical history, but masked as mythic, religious or legendary events. And Jack Parsons, the Pasadena wizard, felt that they were an "engine" cited in The Book of the Law for converting the world to Crowley's teachings.
Other theories (some of which have been discussed at greater length in Brad Steiger's Alien Meetings) are quite fascinating in themselves. They may be a "planetary poltergeist phenomenon" (similar to John Keel's "Superspectrum") based on some as yet unknown law activated by the unconscious mind capable of reflecting or imitating human intelligence. Then there is Michael Talbot's "Protean Psychoid" theory -- they change in conformity to what is fashionable to believe and to the psychological state of the observer. Finally, there is Vall‚e's now famous idea that the ufonauts are teachers and the ufos are pedagogical devices to train the human mind.
Ufos tend to be seen between the 21st and the 24th of the month, and the most favorite month is July. Many believe them to derive from Zeta Reticuli.
