Focusing still on my previous article – on 1951’s movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still – you will now see how easy it was for many of the so-called “Contactees” (people who claimed they had encounters with human-looking extraterrestrials in early 1950s America) to play roles not too dissimilar to those of Klaatu in.

Yes, I know: that’s a very controversial question to pose. But, sometimes, things are stranger than they seem to be – as you’ll see now. For the most part, people in Ufology take the view that the Contactees of the 1950s were either telling the truth of their experiences, or that they were hoaxing everything.. Read more »
Within the field of “UFO Contactees,” “Space Brothers,” and “Space Sisters,” there are a number that are very well known. They include George Van Tassel, Dana Howard, Truman Bethurum, Mollie Thompson, Orfeo Angelucci, George King and Margit Mustapa. And they were just the tip of the iceberg. Then there are the far lesser-known experiences of a young man named Bob Renaud. On one particular night in July 1961 (just two months before the Betty and Barney Hill abduction), Renaud picked up an extraordinary message while “browsing around the shortwave bands” in his small, Massachusetts town. It began with a series of bleeps but was soon replaced by a female voice, which later identified herself as one Linn-Erri. So the story goes, the eighteen-year-old Renaud was told: “I am called Linn-Erri, and my associates and I come from the planet Korendor. We are speaking to you from our spaceship many miles above earth.”
The Anomalist said this yesterday: “Nick Redfern looks at The Strange Adventures of a UFO Contactee: Orfeo Angelucci. Nick tells much of Angelucci’s story, and we’re wondering if a follow-up will nail down Nick’s initial musing about ‘carefully stage-managed, manipulated events? ” Well, in response, yes, I can expand on all of this! And I will. While I think Angelucci had some genuine experiences in the mid-1950s, I also think some cases were the work of personnel attached to programs like the CIA’s MK-Ultra. In other words, they were stage-managed events provoked by mind-control technology of us, rather than of aliens. The reason is an intriguing one: U.S. Intelligence thought that Angelucci had been recruited as a spy for the Russians. Indeed, a study of Angelucci’s life shows that perhaps he was watched clandestinely by several agencies. As he became more adept at public speaking, and more comfortable about discussing his claimed encounters with aliens, Angelucci r
Is it possible that some UFO encounters might not be what they initially appear to be – namely face to face confrontations with extraterrestrials from faraway worlds? Might they actually be carefully stage-managed, manipulated events? Perhaps our presumed aliens are, in reality, shapeshifters from our world; entities that toy with our minds and assume the roles and even the appearances of ETs. Today, when people ponder on the matter of extraterrestrial encounters, they typically think of so-called alien abductions and the Grays, those diminutive, large-headed entities with eerie, black eyes that are near-hypnotic in nature. Back in the latter part of the 1940s and the early 1950s, however, things were very different. Infinitely different, even. Back then, the Grays were in the sights of precisely no-one at all. That’s not to say people weren’t encountering aliens, however. They most assuredly were. Back then, however, they were known as the Space Brothers.
