What Do We Know?

Here's a question for you to think about: If you are a person who's familiar with all of the old and modern ufo cases, what are some of the assumptions about the ufo phenomenon that you believe we can now make with a reasonable degree of certainty?

Here are my first 2 of the list:

1) There are one or more intelligent sources behind the ufo phenomenon (ie, not all ufos can be explained by natural phenomena and psychological abberations)

2) People are being intentionally deceived by at least one of these intelligent sources. They want to be seen, but they don't want to be seen for what they are. They want to be seen as something else.

If we can accept only those first 2 points, I think this might clear up alot of the wacky cases like Billy Meier and George Adamski. Cases where seemingly sane and intelligent people are supporting wacky ideas.

If there is an intelligence behind the ufo phenomenon, and it wants to deceive people as to what its true identity is, then it only makes sense that this intelligence would contact suggestible people in positions of influence and direct them *away* from the truth. These people of influence would then misdirect the masses.

Why would seemingly sane and intelligent people follow the zany ideas of a certain person?

Consider this scenario for the Billy Meier case:

A legitimate intelligence contacts Meier, and fills his head with foolish and false ideas. Events are arranged so that some of his close associates experience a few of these paranormal events, and thus they become convinced of Meier's "authenticity". The cult is born.

After Meier spreads the word and gathers followers, the job has been done, so the intelligence disappears. However, when time goes by and no additional paranormal events occur, Meier's followers reasonably begin to doubt his contact with the space brothers. The intelligence is now long gone, so Meier fakes photos in order to hang on to the followers he's gained.

Now take into consideration the first 2 points which I think we can reasonably assume. With that in mind, I find the above scenario more reasonable than the idea that a man (with no unique ideas and second-rate photos) gathered such a rabid following of seemingly sane and normal people, based upon nothing paranormal at all. I suspect that something legitimately paranormal initially occurred around this man. But the intention of this intelligence was deception, and everything that has occurred since then was in fact intended by this intelligence.

Now let's consider another more current case: Steven Greer and his Disclosure Project. It certainly seemed to have started sanely enough, but then went rapidly down nutty lane. I even donated money to them after watching Out of the Blue many years ago, because I thought the organization had great promise.

What if, perhaps, this Disclosure Project was recognized by the intelligence behind ufos as an organization that could legitimately threaten the shroud of deception held in place? Who would be the person to "contact" who could effectively neutralize the threat that the Disclosure Project posed? It would of course be Dr. Greer. He even claims some sort of contact, as I understand it. I see no reason to disbelieve him out of hand, and so the possibility stands that he was also contacted by this intelligence, which I think filled his head with ideas that effectively discredited and neutralized the Disclosure Project.

So here is the hypothesis, which is built from only those first 2 assumptions: One motivation of the ufo intelligence is to contact individuals and organizations that have the potential to damage the deception held in place, and the intelligence takes steps to neutralize the threat.

On the plus side, this hypothesis runs alongside the Vallee ideas of this intelligence as a sort of human psychological "control-system".

On the minus side, it does not fit neatly into the "either he is a charlatan or he is the real deal" dichotomy. For people without flexible minds who like to make snap judgements, this would be a hard thing to digest.
