Dr Folklore on Capel Green

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/07/capel-green-premiere.html.
Dr David Clarke has written a review of Capel Green. He was not at the premiere, but must have gone along to one of the other Stowmarket screenings. He gives an overview of the incident which is basically factual, but then starts criticizing the story in a manner that is obtuse and very unoriginal. He cites somebody who should have been immediately consigned to ridicule and obscurity forty-two years ago, but even today keeps repeating on UFOlogy like a bad curry. Dr Ian Ridpath is an astronomer who claimed that the experience reported by these high level security experts trained to protect our most deadly weapons can be explained away as a meteor shower and the beam of the Orford Ness lighthouse, see here for details: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/03/rfi-brand-new-info.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/02/ian-ridpath-at-fortean-london.html. The patronizing has-been then adds: "UFO believers have no interest in solutions" and that Rendlesham Forest is a "modern myth". Clarke also brings up Jim Penniston's 2010 supposed bombshell about time travellers leaving binary code messages. As I've explained before, this was clearly an attempt at disinformation, as is the denouncement of Halt and Larry by Col. Ted Conrad, former Bentwaters-Woodbridge base commander. Clarke also reminds us of the deceit of Peter Robbins and the strange fact that Nick Pope latched onto the anti-Larry Warren trolls for some reason. Why are such trivial spats not beneath him, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/10/sacha-christie-woodbridge-presentation.html? If Clarke finds this suspicious he does not say so. The Mail Online article is behind a paywall, but somebody sent me a copy and Dr Clarke has offered to share it with anybody who contacts him privately. You can do so on Facebook or at his website: https://drdavidclarke.co.uk. I would honestly welcome a genuine groundbreaking new criticism of the RFI and this new documentary made about it. I would be invigorated by the challenge of innovative information and explanations for what happened that Christmas all those years ago, but there's nothing like that here. Clarke has literally written a poor transcription of every shallow, illogical and deceptive piece of rhetoric that has been continuously tossed around the media for decades. What pains me the most is that Dr David Clarke actually won my admiration and support a couple of years ago for his excellent revival of the Calvine incident, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2022/08/ufo-disclosure-2022-why-now.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/06/would-real-kevin-russell-please-stand-up.html. I was really hoping he had seen the light and turned a corner. Unfortunately not it seems.
