Burnt State
Paranormal Adept
Well, Curt, between you, Storge and the stuff Koi has posted I feel like I've fallen straight into the rabbit hole. My recent viewing of Mirage Men and reading more about Moore and Doty have left me swimming in a quagmire.
There are detailed reports published about the finding of 27 of the 35 bodies tangled in wreckage and encased in ice. That contrasts dramatically with what Armold reports as the 'real' series of events that unfolded following Butler's discovery of the crashed plane on Mount Rainier.
Arnold appears to be a very pivotal figure whose dealings with pilots, three letter agencies and his own pursuit of the UFO enigma is as tantalizing as it is conflicted. My understanding is that Maury was a hoax & a messing with Arnold's head which, when you read some of his speculations, you wonder if he also began to menally unravel in the way that Spaur did. How is it that he himself had so many sightings (followed by Floyd?) and became convinced of their telepathic skills?
But of more interest are his notions of the UFO as living creature, evolved and spawned from the planet itself. Somewhere between that bizarre claim and all the pestering, and subsequent silencing of pilots and witnesses, just like and including Arnold, there lies a curious tension about unestablished strange truths:
"ARNOLD: Something that… could come from the surface of this earth, commonplace things that go through a stage of development similar to a tadpole. It would be difficult for you to believe it’s going to be a frog. But when you watch the process, it becomes a frog. And it’s, well, a density, like I said to “Look” magazine one time. I said, “If you take a jellyfish in the ocean and you’re not familiar with jellyfish when it’s completely extended, it looks just like the ocean water, or very similar. It looks just a little bit milky, and you stick your finger in it, Oh Boy, it will really shock you. And then it solidifies. Nature has ways of doing this type of thing with these deep fish, or with fish in the deep parts of the oceans, and they go through various stages of development… If it is an aircraft from some place, they haven’t advanced much. You know, if you took a picture of, say, a 1915 airplane and then you took a picture of a 1978 aircraft that we have, you’d hardly know that they were related."
If anything, Arnold, seems to have driven deep into the mystery and remains convinced that militaristic motives are responsible for covering up an unknown quantity that does not originate from experimental Air force test beds, but some other place that involves both the witnessing of technological craft and living beings. Neither of these should be talked about or investigated is a mantra oft repeated and seems to originate from Arnold's era.
