#83 Contactees with Bishop and Gorightly

“A” is for Adamski is the book written by Greg Bishop and Adam Gorightly

 

Listen HERE.

Fahrusha was happy to welcome Greg Bishop and Adam Gorightly authors of the entertaining book named A is for Adamski: The Golden Age of the UFO Contactees. The contactees are people who claim (largely) benevolent contact with the denizens of flying saucers. Their heyday was in the 1950s, but there were contactees before Roswell and after the fifties into the current period.

The book is arranged alphabetically by the person and there is a photo for each entry. There is a kitsch element to these photos that is definitely entertaining and fun. We spoke extensively about the reality or lack thereof of these experiences. I tried to make a possible connection between contactees and near death experiencers and to a lesser extent remote viewers.

There are many overlaps between different people in the book as some of them knew one another, especially those that gathered with Adamski and VanTassel at Giant Rock in the southern California desert over the years. There are also many questions about the honesty of some of the most notorious of the people profiled, but by and large, most were sincere. It must be understood that what ever they encountered had to be processed by the reducing valve of their brains which may have overlaid the experience with something familiar or understandable to them.

Kudos also to Douglas Curran whose photos inspired the book.

Errata: The near death experiencer Fahrusha referenced but couldn’t remember the name of is Anita Moorjani. She is representative of a number of NDEers.

Greg Bishop, Project Beta #20

Listen here!

Greg Bishop joins Kate Valentine and Fahrusha for a lively discussion about his book, Project Beta, the Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth, and other UFO related topics. Greg is the host of the popular internet radio show Radio Misterioso on Kill Radio Los Angeles. Paul Bennewitz was a brilliant electrical engineer who observed unusual phenomena in New Mexico near Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia Labs. He believed this aerial phenomena was UFO related. The Air Force Security personnel did nothing to discourage this and in fact fed him disinformation and lies to bolster his beliefs. This led to him being put into a mental institution and ruining his life. Kate and Fahrusha also discuss the general nature of the UFO phenomena with Greg and wonder out loud why many people in the paranormal field have had a childhood interest in sleight-of-hand magic. There is more. Be sure to listen and post your thoughts.

On a very sad note, one of our previous guests, Captain Andy Danziger, has passed away. We urge you to listen to his interview on Shattered Reality Podcast here.
