Whitley Streiber sees a drone (really!)

Chuckleberry Finn:

What you're saying makes sense but, respectfully, you're wrong. Whitley does believe he encountered that man he dubbed "Master of The Key." I don't know how to say this without being all, "I know Whitley Strieber!" star fucker -- because I don't. I've spoken with him a few times on the phone and at length in person once. From those conversations it's clear that he does believe he met that man. I think when he talks about maybe having made it up--as he does in the book itself: He calls his wife and asks her to remind him that he really did meet this man--it's in the same vein as this:

Even we who speak and write of this publicly are averse to it being real when high strangeness happens. You'd think it would go the other way and we'd be like, "Awsome! I was abducted again! Now I've got something to write about! Yeah!" But it's been my experience that the opposite occurs. You go, "No way that happened. That had to have been a dream. I'm losing it this time."
 
Wow.... I'm listening to last night's Coast to Coast show and have to say that Whitley has lost all credibility with me. For him to claim that he saw one of these silly "drones" is so way over the top. That's it for me with this guy. He has been going downhill fast and this latest "encounter" makes me question everything this guy has ever stated. Pretty sad. Pisses me off.

This is the kind of crap that muddies the water and he is doing a *huge*disservice to rational exploration of this subject. Maybe I was naive in holding out so long on my opinion of him.
 
Do we know for certain that the "drone" sightings in California started with Chad?
Because what we do know is that his drone pictures are fiction.

Then again Strieber's experiences exhibit such high strangeness that he's like a walking psychology experiment.
The visitors could have used a drone for a screen memory as just more messing with him..
Who knows.. I don't bash Strieber because he's had way more witnesses to strangeness around him than most abductees.

Well, that's an interesting point. Didn't really think of it that way.

I just find Whitley to be a bit to far out there these days. William Henry, Drones, and basically the way he pushes items to sell within every story on his site. It's just to much to be taken serious. Also I find it suspiciously convienient how his "experiences" dovetail with his latest book. 2012....now he's talking about parallel universes. 8)

repost from Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country email:

I had an extremely restless night, full of complex and astounding dreams that I will record in a journal on my website. They also involved my book the Key and the crop circles, and have led me to a very clear understanding that there is a new level of consciousness available to us now. The dreams lasted from about 3:00 to the moment I woke up and saw the thing outside, which was at exactly 4:53. (I know the times because I sent one of my agents an email at 2:47 about a business matter, then went to bed and was shortly asleep. When I saw the drone, I was looking across the bedroom toward the window, with my wife's lighted clock just visible below the window.)

I have never read anything by Strieber and have no interest in him due to the general impression I get from his interviews. Just the other night I was listening to him on C2C and he was talking about this very event. I was surprised to read in the quote above that he used the word "dreams", because on C2C he said that was the night he experienced 5 parallel universes at once...Art Bell was sure he wasn't dreaming them because it was all too "amazing". I listened to how he suddenly experienced a reality where he and his wife had dogs, and another where his wife had died in 2004 etc...

He barely mentioned the thing in the sky. When he did I think he and Art used terms like "craft" or "ship". Maybe after I turned off the radio he said "drone", I don't know, but he wasn't emphasizing it at the time.
 
I think Whitley Streiber is a heck of a nice guys and authentically believes everything he conveys. I don't believe he is wrong about everything he does, but even his most ardent fans would have to admit that he is rather gullible. He's not beyond stretching things to make things fit(not saying he's lying, just active supplemental imagination), I mean, he's had every type of paranormal experience known to man, then he plays himself off as some kind of christ figure or something simliar at the very least.

Or.....he is actually seeing all of the high strangeness he proclaims and we're just a bunch of sarcastic fools. How would we possibly know without some proof? His whole platform revolves around his christian principles of believe or die modified to include ufo's. And he has no real evidence of anything happening to him outside of the highway patrolman in New York that supposedly saw ufo's in the area at the time of his abduction.

I'll be honest, ironically, that I was really starting to doubt him and all of his high strangeness until I heard David and Jeff Ritzmans stories. If we are to believe what Jeff and David are feeding us, then we must at least entertain Whitley Streiber as well.

Btw, Icculus, keep in mind that David would definately buy into the parallel universe as well. Course I would too, just thought I would add that if you're listening to the paracast, you'll hear something akin to that at least every other show.
 
No, you're right, we should dismiss most or everything Whitley says, he's just a writer, after all.

A fiction writer.

A bestselling fiction writer.

What the hell does he have to teach us? I mean, he only runs the biggest science-edge web site in the world. We used to call that "Forteana" back in the day. Check it out, you might like it.

But, there's very little point asking him to be a guest on the Paracast--besides being a massive coup for the show, he would only be the highest-profile guest they've ever had. EVER.

And that's not the way we do things here. We deride people and personalities before they ever have a chance to rebut--unless it's a known fact that the guest will be a pushover--and then, we go for it, guns blazing.

But--in his defense--Whitley Streiber can spell, and check his own grammar--and I'd be willing to bet his editors barely have to lift a finger. And we need him a hell of a lot more than he needs us.

But, yeah, you're right, why bother?
 
Would love to hear him on the show. No question he is a brilliant man. I love his books. The problem I have with him lately is that he is really muddying the waters. The drones are fake. Period. He continues to play them up—as does Linda Howe—and then goes on to say he saw one. That's enough for me to pretty much throw out anything this man has to say regarding "non-fiction"

I'll still buy his books and see his movies—just won't buy into his BS ridden, paranoid website.

Explain "science-edge" please. Don't get me wrong, I like Whitleys stories and there cool to envision. But science??
 
Forteana. Charles Fort. Book of the Damned, Lo!

The Fortean Times.

That's science-edge.

Frog falls, red rain, etc. It's very interesting stuff. It's what the Paracast is all about. Science-edge stuff.

I know, it's real technical--I thought you might grant me some "wiggle room".

Here's the web site, for anyone that's interested (I know, wrong thread--he asked):

Mar 30 2008 Report This!
THERE IS NOT JUST ONE drone, there are 14 drones that were all reported on from May to date. None of them have any source of propulsion. This Capitola story is only one of many. For a more in depth explanation on all drones
Google Alien Casebook - Home
and then go to the "Isaac and the Drones" board.

Just yesterday, the private investigators who are seeking the pole in the Capitola drone, found the photo locations for two other drones. These were in Saratoga California and the story and pictures are here. http://aliencasebook.blogspot.com

time will tell
