VYS0004 | The Uncanny Vallée and the Unreal Keel - The Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis Pt.1

1 hour 30 minutes

VYS0004 - Show Notes

What if UFO sightings and alien encounters aren't visitations by creatures from another planet but an experience of entities which surround us all the time but usually remain outside the perception of our five senses? What if the greys and flying saucers are a manifestation of a phenomena known in days gone by names such as fairies, elementals and angles? This is the Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis. In the first part of this two-part study Hine and Buckley explore these ideas by trying to wrap their heads around the work of Jacques Vallée and John Keel. Recorded 21 July 2022.

Corrections (The only way we learn is by making mistakes...)

Hine refers to Meade Layne as "she", he was, of course, a he.

Buckley's timeline for Keel's pope prediction was slightly off - the actual timeline was: In 1967 Keel became convinced that Pope Paul VI would be knifed to death at Istanbul Airport - this did not occur. On November 27 1970 Pope Paul VI was attacked by a knife wielding man at Manila International Airport.
