One of the speakers at the recent Bases Project Conference
was Mark Pilkington, somebody I have discussed before, for example see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2012/12/mirage-men-by-mark-pilkington.html
and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2014/02/mirage-men-film.html.
His thesis is that the modern mainstream UFO phenomenon is some kind of
engineered neo-mythology created as psychological warfare to launder more
down-to-earth covert projects. This is not a very original idea and it is in
fact somewhat fashionable at the moment. It is actually rather implausible when
you consider how easily and badly it could backfire. Drawing somebody's
attention towards something with the ultimate objective of deflecting it away
is a very risky gambit. It's like a bank robber jumping up and down on top of
his buried stash in a striped jersey and face mask every time a police car
drives past, waving a placard stating: THERE
IS NO STOLEN CASH HIDDEN HERE, JUST THE BONES OF A UNICORN! How long would
it take for somebody to realize what was really going on? At 52:10, I ask Mark
a polite but searching question that I am pleased with, see: https://www.brighteon.com/a8e05cb9-efe0-4c75-9b05-698372835d3c.
This is another reason to doubt Mark's opinion, the antiquity of the
experience. The South African lady who asks a question after me does a good job
too; but as it happens, Mark has had a close encounter, with a silvery
spherical object. Mark must have known that this audience would be likely to
differ with him considerably and would not give him an easy Q and A. To his
credit, he holds his ground and remains calm and rational. This was a good-natured
event and everybody had fun.
