Reed is Back!

 
Somebody has just reappeared in the UFOlogical media whom I never thought I'd see again. In 1996 Dr Jonathan Reed from Washington USA supposedly had an encounter with an alien in the woods where he was walking his dog. The dog was killed by the alien and Reed attacked the alien knocking it unconscious. He then took the stunned being home with him and made a series of videos of it. He also filmed the scene in the forest beforehand. In 2014 Reed totally disappeared off the scene shortly after appearing live in Felixstowe, Suffolk. I provided a video recording of the event for HPANWO TV, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2014/11/dr-jonathan-reed-at-rendlesham-forest.html. I feel a lot of distress dealing with this subject for two reasons: firstly, it led to me experiencing some of the worst internet abuse I've ever had; and, as regular readers know, that's really saying something! Some of what people said about me bordered on criminal. I also had the video given multiple false-flags that almost cost me my channel. As a result I have privatized the YouTube upload, something I very rarely do. However, the recording is still available on all the HPANWO TV alt-tech pages. The second reason is that the video features my good friend and comrade Derek Savory who has since died, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2024/04/hpanwo-show-545-podcast-derek-savory-in.html. He organized and funded Dr Reed's tour.
 
Perhaps because 2026 is the thirtieth anniversary, Dr Jonathan Reed has released a new documentary called Contact in the Woods- The Dr Jonathan Reed Story. This one hour documentary was allegedly created by anonymous filmmakers who are hiding their identity for the sake of their own security, because the government are still persecuting Reed and anybody else who helps him; however, according to its IMDB slot, the film is directed by Dr Reed himself. Google AI states that in secondary sources the producers are named as Brent and Blake Cousins, a pair of brothers who are well known characters in "UFOwood". They work closely with figures like Dr Steven Greer and Jaime Maussan. In fact Maussan is also credited in Contact in the Woods. The film does not provide much new information for anybody familiar with the case; but it presents the story with a series of new fictionalizations, including original animation. This brings the narrative to life very vividly in a way previous productions have not. Despite claims that Reed has never changed his story, in this film there are a few details that were not mentioned in previous publications, including his book Link- An Extraterrestrial Odyssey. According to the book, Reed told nobody about the alien in his freezer except his girlfriend; in the film he states that when he got back to his home in Seattle, he called his friend Gary and Gary came round and helped him capture the first footage of "Freddie" the alien. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CReSF8MOKc. A lot has changed since Reed's last engagement with the public twelve years ago. Robert Raith has died. Reed himself has visibly aged in this documentary, which you would expect considering the passage of time; however, he also does not look to be in good health. His voice has become weaker and his body is constantly trembling, as if he has a neurological problem like Parkinson's disease. His comeback has been accompanied by some interviews, like with Caspersight, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POsDxJyoP1c. Many other pundits have had discussions about Reed. Not long after the incident originally happened Royce Myers, one of the first ever backslappers, published what he called an "exposure" that Dr Jonathan Reed was a fraud, see: https://www.ufowatchdog.com/jonathan_reed.htm. I did not believe Myers at first. At the time several other researchers were supporting Reed; but since then, especially after watching this new movie, I am fairly certain Reed actually did fabricate his experience. I'll probably go into more details in a future post. Obviously I'd love to be proved wrong on that!

Blogger Unbanned

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/shadowbanned-be-damned.html.
And: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/01/fake-stats.html.
Something strange has happened, something not altogether unwelcome. For some reason the frustrating algorithmic shackles on HPANWO Voice have mysteriously disappeared. As you can see in the illustration, which is a current screenshot from my stats log, at some time, traffic to HPANWO Voice radically increased. It has even cleared its pre-shadowbanning initial levels. This boost is confined to the Voice. I've not yet enjoyed such a blow up on HPANWO, HPANWO TV, Ben's Bookcase, HPANWO Radio or the HPWA. When exactly this cage door was opened is unclear. I just happened to look at my stats a couple of weeks ago and saw that when previously my articles were topping out at around fifty hits they were suddenly clearing a thousand within a fortnight. From the graph you can trace this increase on posts dating back to around mid-March. That doesn't mean the change happened then, only that posts after that time period are the ones benefiting. I suspect it happened more recently because I regularly look at my stats. Why has this happened? Is it necessarily a good thing? Well, this could simply be a change in Blogger's analytics system so my views are being counted more precisely than before; meaning the problem I raised in my article Fake Stats above has been solved. Then again, it could be that I've swum into the net of some tracker bots and that all my extra hits are not real people. To be honest, this makes sense because the number of comments I'm getting has not gone up in proportion to my views. I certainly have no reason to think anybody I know is helping share my online work more than they do already. Still, whatever is going on it's nothing to complain about. Thank you to every real user who takes the time to read HPANWO Voice. Much appreciated.

LHC Shutdown

 
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), has decided to switch off the Large Hadron Collider. On the 29th of last month it powered down all the particle beams. The reason is to carry out major maintenance and an upgrade. This is called "LS3- Long Shutdown 3" and the work is scheduled to take around four years. Parts of the seventeen mile circular device will be dismantled and engineers will replace older components with new magnets and cryogenic lines. After the refit the machine will be renamed the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, HiLumi LHC. With all its new capabilities the beams will be narrower and focused more tightly. This will increase the volume of particle collisions tenfold. Many people are wondering what effect this will have. Seeing as operations at the LHC have a timeline that matches perfectly the emergence of the Mandela Effect; presumably, if the LHC really is the cause of the Mandela Effect, that pattern will continue. Could it be that until the new collider is started there will be no new Mandela Effect experiences? It's interesting that examples of the Mandela Effect did not all appear at the same time. The original one in which people recall Nelson Mandela dying in jail in the '80's, which gave the phenomenon its name, was published by Fiona Broome in 2009, just a few months after the LHC started operations. Since then several hundred others have been collated, but not all at once. The original ones, Loony Tunes and Berenstain Bears etc, emerged soon after; but others, Mr Monopoly, Fruit of the Loom and KitKat, came later. I personally had never heard of the Blue Riband one until I saw this old TV advert on YouTube about three years ago, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQnRgVipDTA. The comments section is full of people who remember the product as Blue Ribbon. I do too and I remember this very advert with its catchy song on TV as a child in the 1980's. Even though the video is seventeen years old, the comments are generally much more recent. New ones are popping up all the time. Is this because the people who experienced them never reported them earlier, or is it that they just appeared at that time because of something going on in the LHC? Interesting to note that when Run 2 began in 2015, with the collision power almost doubled from 7 TeV to 13 TeV, new Mandela reports skyrocketed. One of the stages of scientific inquiry is prediction; so if CERN is the cause of the Mandela Effect we should quickly see a decrease in new Mandelas until the machine is switched back on. It's worth bearing in mind that doing the Long Shutdown 3 other particle accelerators are continuing their collisions as normal; Fermilab, KEK, Brookhaven NL etc, are still smashing atoms and some are even upgrading at the same time as the LHC. Two of them are at CERN, the SPS and ISOLDE. It's as if there is some kind of global coordination at work so that in a few years these machines can come back to life and work as one for a collective enterprise. What kind? Who knows? The next four years will be revealing and I shall be doing my own study about what happens.

Will Tomorrow be Disclosure Day?

 
How many times have I written those words? I first raised this issue back in 2007; this is the first published post I can find, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2007/09/stephen-greer-article.html. Since then I've returned to it again and again, and it's become one of my favourite subjects. At the bottom is the huge portal where I've collated all my work on UFO Disclosure. I've even written three books about it. So I understand if readers groan at the title of this article; "Not again, Ben, please!" Bear with me! The reason I am bringing it up this time is because of some statements made by Mark Christopher Lee, a filmmaker who specializes in UFO documentaries. Back in February Mark made a stunning announcement, that President Trump was going to make a Disclosure speech very soon. He was given a specific date, the 8th of July. This happens to be World Disclosure Day and the seventy-ninth anniversary of the Roswell Incident. He said there would also be a revealing hearing on Mayday. He knew this because of an "insider at the White House". Mark would not name his source although there has been some suggestion that it is Bob Bigelow. Mark made this statement with so much confidence, putting his reputation on the line, that I and many others did sit up and take notice, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/02/what-week-in-ufology.html and: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2026/02/third-rail-radio-programme-234.html. It even reached the mainstream media. Obviously the skeptics and backslappers did not take this prediction seriously; and they were apparently vindicated when a couple of weeks later Mark published a full, unconditional retraction and apology. He said that he had made a mistake and might possibly been used to spread disinformation. He did this in a very dignified and mature way. He did not qualify his apology at all and I respected that, despite my disappointment. Source: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1EAJKbgbsBD4MkR4fsD4wL. True to form, the backslappers would not let it go and continued to dwell on the matter long after it was necessary in my view, but that's backslappers for you.
 
However, since then there has been a major development. Mark Christopher Lee has renewed his prediction for July the 8th. What's happening is that President Trump is currently in Turkey and tomorrow he is scheduled to attend a major NATO summit. This is the first time a US president has visited the country in over a decade. This is a high stakes event and Turkey's own President Erdogan will be in talks with him. Trump says he wants closer ties with Turkey to lure it away from Russian influence. However, when he takes to the stage in Ankara tomorrow he has the alien speech prepared. He may well deliver it after his main address, in a separate event at the end of the NATO proceedings. Turkey, a powerful nation on the cusp of Europe and Asia, would be a good strategic place to reveal the truth about UFO's. The fact that it is the Roswell anniversary will add pathos to the event. It also means that the PRG won't have to shift the date, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/07/happy-world-disclosure-day-2021.html. Mark has made a new video about July the 8th 2026, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWYUsf8GbiA. Will it happen? Well, Mark sounds extremely confident, and that really means something when you consider his past U-turn. If he were even the tiniest bit uncertain then he would no doubt show some caution after being bitten before. This alone gives Mark's new forecast extra validity. We shall see what happens tomorrow, but it has been in my diary for a while and I will be watching closely. Should anything significant happen I will report back immediately.

Botley Road (Non-Woo-Woo)

 
Today I have a non-woo-woo article for you, very rare for me! It's one of only about a dozen I've ever written. It concerns Botley Road in Oxford. Something I seriously suspect that many people in the city have forgotten ever existed. This major throughfare is the principle traffic connection between West Oxford and the rest of Oxford. Anybody who lives in North Hinksey, Dean Court, Chawley, Cumnor and Botley are cut off from the city by all motor transport. It has played havoc with the bus routes and a number of services that normally terminate at Gloucester Green are currently tucked into a row of overcrowded and unsheltered stops by Osney Island. For example, see here for my recent trip to Swindon: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/06/bases-2026-disclosure-conference.html. To drive to the city centre from West Oxford is possible, but only via a massive detour all the way north along the ring road or south Redbridge and to Donnington Bridge. This situation has been going on for so long I had totally forgotten how and when it started. I had to look it up; April 2023. The original plan was a joint endeavour by Network Rail and Oxon and Oxford City Council to expand the railway station, build a new railway bridge and lower the road level so double-decker buses could pass underneath it. This was estimated to take "just a few months!" It has now been over three years. The worksite has been a mysterious collection of hoarding, direction signs and weird tunnels and pathways that keep shifting, depending on what part of the place is being attended to at the time. Every time I pass by there I have to start anew finding the correct route through the chaos. The problem was that the project hit unexpected obstacles that caused massive delays. This does happen occasionally, for another example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2013/12/mysterious-object-in-seattle-tunnel-dig.html. I regularly joke on HPANWO TV that they must have found a crashed flying saucer, but the reality is nothing so exciting. A series of water pipes had to be diverted along with sewers; these had to be kept separate to prevent contamination. There were also gas mains and electricity cables that "had not been mapped" which means nobody knows exactly where they were. That sounds strange. Were there no records? Surely the people who installed them originally could have told them. In some cases this happened a long time ago, over a century, but it is still odd to think that nobody knew where these utilities were despite the people of Oxford using them every day. No wonder it is perfectly plausible that strange creatures might live in them, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/10/monster-in-sewer.html

The contractor, with the inopportune name of "Keir" wasn't even sure if the cables were isolated and could therefore be removed safely. Strangely, the electricity company didn't know either. To work it out a number of controlled discharges were tried. All this work had to be negotiated with Thames Water and this took even more time and money. The excavation of the road was hampered by a "Victorian arch", a very old brick structure designed to protect the road from the water table. Again, there was no information available about how big this construction was and how it could be removed. The deeper dip will also require special drainage. But even the darkest night ends with the dawn and now it has been announced that Botley Road will reopen at the end of next month. It will be improved too, apparently; with proper cycle tracks and even, eventually, an extra platform at the station. The cost of the original operation was said to be £161 million but have risen to £237 million, all funded by the Department of Transport... which means we, the taxpayers. Source: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26251483.update-network-rail-botley-road-will-reopen/. I'm glad this huge construction venture will soon be at an end. Buses can once more travel to the city centre and people can drive to and from West Oxford. This saga is testimony to the old saying: to err is human, but to screw things up completely requires a committee.

The Most Reluctant Convert

 
Ever since I began following the work of David Icke I've become fascinated by people who experience a "kundalini" or spiritual emergence crisis, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/08/david-icke-portal.html. For these people, the experience is often not as it is depicted by the New Age. It can be unpleasant, chaotic and disturbing; but after it has happened I've never heard anybody say they wish it hadn't. One of the most interesting people to have undergone this process is CS Lewis, mostly because he is also a prolific and articulate writer and described his feelings in great detail. He wrote about it in a book called Surprised by Joy. This has been adapted into a stage play by Max McLean called The Most Reluctant Convert, and he has now made it into a film. It stars Max in the eponymous role, something he does very well. For an American actor his accent is perfect and he really gets inside the personality of his subject. I was familiar with CS Lewis as a child because his Chronicles of Narnia series were some of my favourite books; but when I grew up I took more of an interest in the man himself. In this movie Max McLean's portrayal of Clive Staples Lewis carries out a fourth wall monologue combined with drama; and often a blend of the two. He sometimes appears as an unseen character in the flashbacks to his childhood in Northern Ireland, or at school or as a student and fellow at Oxford. Living in Oxford myself I recognized the locations; The White Hart Pub on Broad Street, Queens Lane, the University Parks and Lewis' home in Risinghurst. Lewis' background was devout Ulster Protestant, yet he lost his faith as a child when his mother died and he fought in the Great War. He was a complete atheist and didn't start to question his disbelief until he was given private tuition by a very wise teacher whom he loved, William Thompson Kirkpatrick, nicknamed "The Great Knock". I expect the character Prof. Kirk in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is inspired by him. This is one of many intrusions of his fiction into his life story that I spotted. Despite having a very detailed and comprehensive conviction that atheo-materialism was true, he started to entertain alternative ideas. He had always described the world as full of misery and cruelty, but wondered why he thought that when there was nothing to compare it to. "I can't think of a line as crooked unless I know somewhere deep down there must be a straight line somewhere." as he puts it. At Oxford he had long discussions with his friend Owen Barfield and another he called "Tollers" who was actually JRR Tolkien, a fellow author, mystic and Catholic gnostic. This raised more questions in his mind.

It was obviously a strange experience, but CS Lewis describes this upheaval almost as a chase, with God trying to catch him and him trying to run away; this explains the title of the play and film. At the same time, paradoxically, he called this new revelation "Joy", hence the title of the book. This word distinguishes it from happiness or contentment, something that emerges from inside us instead as from outside; in this way it reminds me of my thoughts about melancholy, see: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2026/03/being-sad.html. At the same time as feeling joyful he was also sad. He felt that something else he valued about the universe as he saw it was being worn away. The film does not cover it and I have not read the book, but like most people in his position, at that time, he was probably not easy to get on with. He may well have fallen out with friends and found his relationship with family become very rocky. Some of his mental breakthroughs came in strangely prosaic situations. One burst of revelation came when he was riding on a bus up Headington Hill. I've done the same many times and I've never had any sudden insights. It's a very pleasant part of Oxford, an avenue of great oaks and chestnuts with parks on either side; but I don't consider it transcendental. The final change came when he was travelling with his brother Warren to visit Whipsnade Zoo in 1931. He was sitting in a motorcycle sidecar and realized he was a Christian believer. (Lewis' biographer Alister McGrath claims this journey happened the previous year, 1930, but that the author got it mixed up. This comes from the chronology of Lewis' letters and chapel records from Magdalen College Oxford. Lewis was writing in 1955, many years later.) After that he was a regular in the congregation of Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry for the rest of his life, a short walk from where he lived. He was buried there when he died in November 1963. Oddly enough this happened on the 22nd, the same day as the Kennedy assassination, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2023/11/jfk-portal.html; and amazingly another esoteric writer, Aldous Huxley, also passed away that day, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2008/07/everyone-knows-what-happened-on.html. What an intriguing coincidence! The Most Reluctant Convert- The Untold Story of CS Lewis is short for a feature film, just an hour and a quarter, but it is very entertaining, well acted and has great production design. It can be rented or bought on the usual platforms (but of course I recommend getting the DVD if you enjoyed it, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/06/memory-holed-movies_0503601583.html) See: https://cslewismovie.com.

Something-Gate

 
It doesn't have a name yet. Before long it will get one, a witticism related to the topic with the suffix "-gate". What I'm referring to is a new drama scandal that has just broken out in the UFO community. Everybody is currently talking about it; and no doubt people will ask me for my opinion, seeing as I've confronted similar situations several times in my own work. However, despite all the social media noise, we know very little about it on a factual level. Yesterday Kelly Chase uploaded a video entitled Starlight Sickness, Gaslighting, Consent Engineering and How I Got Lost In UFOlogy's Hall of Mirrors. Forty-eight minutes in, she raises a personal issue that she previously referred to in a Tweet and audio short back in April. What happened was that Kelly broke all contact with her colleague Jay Christopher King when one of the female followers of their Cosmosis podcast contacted Kelly to complain that during a private conversation with her co-host in which this person revealed a lot of personal information, Jay "crossed sexual boundaries". Kelly had originally endorsed Jay and his organization, The Experiencer Group, and felt guilty. She stresses the need for ethical professional conduct at all times when counselling experiencers. She also claims to have suffered a sexual assault herself and was denied justice, and as a result found this even more traumatic. She has since talked to other women in the group about Jay's "deeply distressing" and "concerning" behaviour. Source:   https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OvK9qsGTuehjeitfn2hi8 and: https://youtu.be/7cvIzMW3xdA?si=cm3vRevZ-rOWQZ6H&t=2882. Despite this assertion, there is no record at all of Jay Christopher King being arrested by the police or being held under suspicion of any criminal offence.

The response to this matter has been exactly what always happens when the culture war reaches any institution. Kelly Chase will, regrettably, receive a torrent of online abuse from the UFO community's troll element; indeed, it has already begun on the Twitter link she posted to yesterday's video. I condemn this behaviour unconditionally and will do anything I can to prevent it. At the same time, as somebody who has been on the receiving end of slanderous false allegations, I cannot and will not conform to the politically correct foundational maxim of "believe the Woman!" A number of pundits have already closed ranks behind Kelly, especially the backslappers for some reason; maybe because this issue reinforces their own dark, cynical and misanthropic vision of UFOlogy. I will comment to the extent of saying that Kelly does not strike me as a typical spiteful mutant feminist, the kind of woman who would habitually tell lies like this about a man. I've actually held her in very high esteem. I thought her UFO Rabbit Hole podcast was one of the best out there and took positive interest in her new perspective, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/02/kellys-new-start.html. I met her at Contact in the Desert last year and had a good conversation with her, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/08/kelly-chase-at-citd-2025.html. Either these allegations are true or they are false; and both possibilities are very disturbing. However, despite the certainty of many current commentators, nobody knows for sure. For this reason I'm going to leave the matter there until more information comes to light. I will return to the subject after that.

Memory Holed Movies

 
Sony Playstation Store is a popular retailer that millions of people use to purchase computer games, software and other kinds of media, including films and TV programmes. I have never used it myself, but I have used similar sites like Amazon, ITunes and Vimeo; but I do so reluctantly for a good reason that I'll explain. A Facebook friend has informed me that Sony Playstation Store have started deleting some of their products. In fact 551 movies and TV series are now no longer available. By no longer available I don't just mean that they are no longer for sale; I mean that they have been deleted from the platform for everybody, including people who have already rented or bought them. The titles include such classics as First Blood, Terminator 2- Judgement Day and Bridget Jones' Diary. The reason for this is that Sony PS' licence with the distributor Studio Canal has just expired and has not been renewed. The users who paid for these products are receiving no compensation at all; no refunds, no discounts, no vouchers nothing. Users who "bought" the products are being treated as if they did not actually buy them; which in a strange way, they never did. You might think this is a violation of customers' statutory rights, even theft, and it should be; but technically it isn't. You see, when you buy an online movie it's not like buying a physical product. As an analogy, if I buy an apple from a greengrocer and walk out of the shop, the shopkeeper can chase after me and snatch the apple back, but in doing so he has to give me my money back by law. However, in the case of streaming service, all you are really buying is the right to stream the product from the site indefinitely, rather than for a fixed period of time, like with Amazon's rental. That purchase time period is indefinite, but not necessarily eternal. The platform retains the legal right to terminate that access at any time unilaterally. What's more the distributor can force them to do so. Your personal user licence agreement is therefore completely non-exclusive and revocable. Read the small print next time your given the "purchase or rent the movie" option; it's completely watertight I'm afraid. Source: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/psvideocontent/.

I know many people who do not own a DVD player and discs, paper books or even read hard copies of newspapers. They live in a bare habitat of monitors and devices that provide all their entertainment and education from remote online sources. "It's ever so convenient!" they gush. "I no longer have shelves of bulky plastic cases taking up all the room in my house." They are perfect devotees of Klaus Schwab's proclamation that "You vill own nossingk und you vill be happy." Perhaps this news from Sony PS will make them think again and realize that although those shelves might be obtrusive and make your home constrictive, they are actually very precious because they contain media in digital or print form that you have purchased in the literal sense and once it is in your hands and the money has been exchanged it is completely isolated from any interference, recall or control from the retailing body. It is totally and one hundred percent your property. They cannot take it back and they cannot alter it. In previous eras before online streaming became a thing, what Sony and Studio Canal have done would be impossible. They would just have to cope with the fact that all the people who bought their products can keep them. This is why I cherish my huge collection of books and DVD's, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/03/dvds-on-my-shelf.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/03/books-on-my-shelf-part-2.html. Short of an accident or theft or me deliberately ripping them up and shoving them down the toilet etc, these items are indestructible. Remember how oppressive regimes always ban books. When those regimes fell the books were always recoverable because inevitably somebody somewhere would have a copy that the censors will have missed. Imagine if modern technology had existed in those days! No need for flaming pyres in the street, the propaganda ministry would just need to press a button. There's more though. Even things you think you own on Netflix or Kindle, even if they are not withdrawn, they can be altered remotely without your knowledge or permission. This has happened to me, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/12/1984-removed-from-kindle.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/roald-dahl-memory-holed.html. This is extremely sinister because it gives the authorities a capability to commit censorship more terrible than at any other time in history. So, please! Get DVD's, downloads and good old-fashioned paper books! I know this is tricky with movies because some home media releases aren't even doing DVD runs anymore; but the more people who buy the DVD's the more the studios will be encouraged to invest in them. People ask me why my own books aren't on e-book outlets; well, this is your answer. If you want to read Roswell Rising and its sequels then I'm afraid it's paperback or nothing, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2016/08/roswell-rising-is-here.html.

Psionics the Movie

 
Psionics- The Minds that Summon UFO's is the long-awaited debut feature film by Patrick Scott Armstrong, well-known already in the UFO community as the presenter of the Vetted YouTube channel. Patrick has been working on this project for several years and has provided behind the scenes commentaries on his channel for all that time. He has travelled long distances across the United States and interviewed many people, including me! Rather than focusing on the usual stories of congressmen, whistleblowers and hearings, which is the more conventional UFO documentary these days, Patrick addresses the phenomenon of personal contact by visiting skywatchers, contactees, experiencers and those who study the consciousness connection to UFO's and aliens. The word "psionics" is a recent popular neologism, although it can be found in limited use from 1952; but it means something that has been delved into throughout the modern UFO era. It connects to psychical research and remote viewing. John Keel was an early pioneer of this field of study and that mission has been carried forward by many people in the modern world, including Jake Barber, a military helicopter pilot who recently made an amazing announcement that he had been involved in crash-retrievals. During this mission he has had telepathic communication with the object, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/01/egg-ufo.html. He has since founded an organization called Skywatcher that does exactly what its name says. It has been the subject of a News Nation feature. During these events, usually at night, objects appear, most often luminous; and they perform manoeuvres and respond to the participants' voices or light signals. The best known method is Dr Steven Greer's "CE5 protocols". Skywatchers claim the viewers' mental attitude is a major factor. Positive thoughts attract more aliens. This adds to the idea that ET's communicate directly through the brain and can read our minds. Some places are what are known as "portal areas", like some places in Arizona, where a particular geology might be perfect for generating electricity which has an effect on the presence of ET's. Sometimes the people record strange noises too. These sounds are very similar to the ones picked up in English crop circles. Sometimes they allegedly contact us directly through walkie-talkies. This is not unlike the EVP or "phone calls from the dead" mystery. But aliens are alive and well, so why are they doing the same thing? Patrick and his assistant Gino try remote viewing and spoon bending, as I have done. It's strange how this also connects to extraterrestrial beings. Patrick was also accompanied on these expeditions by Ron James who has just made his own UFO themed movie, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2026/05/hpanwo-show-632-ron-james.html.

Patrick's quest led him to last year's Contact in the Desert which I also attended, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/06/ben-in-desert-2.html. He interviewed me there and a brief segment can be seen about seven minutes into the main feature; I also returned the favour at the same meeting, see: https://youtu.be/SsvSlRRR4sI?si=TG7AyZQdF4iYVm6V&t=2006. The film also features one of the many posthumous appearances of Nick Pope still waiting in numerous film cans. Patrick came across many people at the conference who were happy to report their experiences to him. Patrick is very cautious and rational the whole time. Psionics is essentially a scientific investigation and he even advises all the viewers to try these techniques for ourselves; and anybody can do this. We don't need the help or approval of the government. He interviews Mick West to learn about the skeptic side of the issue. However, Patrick remains open-minded and impressed by some of what he encounters. UAP interaction can have very positive benefits to a person's life. One man he met was healed of a drug addiction and criminal behaviour by his skywatching activity. UFO's are also nothing new. In a remote part of Utah, Patrick and Gino's guide show them ancient Amerindian rock art a thousand years old that appears to depict bizarre beings in the air and strange lights. They even carved one of the rocks into a seat in just the right place to observe the sky. What's clear in Patrick's new movie, and in many others, is that UFO's are far more complicated than we might previously have thought. It may not be as simple as creatures like us, but from another planet, visiting us; or at least not in all examples of the phenomenon. There seems to be a distinct overlap between UFO's and the rest of the paranormal. We are faced with a lot of contradictory evidence. Aliens have this aetheric element to themselves, like ghosts, who can appear and disappear or become invisible etc; but they are also obviously flesh-and-blood organisms that are closely equivalent to terrestrial animals. They make footprints where they walk and when they die they leave behind a corpse. Their vehicles are constructed of known metallic or ceramic elements, albeit with extraterrestrial isotopic ratios, and do seem to be mechanical in some way. What's the solution to this conundrum? Well, unfortunately there's still a very long way to go before we find one. Even Disclosure probably will not give us all the answers because I doubt the secret government has completely solved this mystery either. Hopefully time will tell. Psionics- The Minds that Summon UFO's has a somewhat poignant subtext for anybody who has followed Patrick on social media for a long time. This project took him several years and so much of the material could have been filmed as early as 2024. So we are seeing the last ever historical document of Patrick pre-backslapper, before he took his "second red pill". In the last few months Patrick's output has changed considerably. The man himself has reached the point, of which I sympathize, where the deficiencies of the Disclosure movement became too much to tolerate. As a result he has become cynical and bitter, even quite misanthropic towards many of the researchers and commentators whom most people rely on to keep us informed; especially those who are admittedly making money off their activities. For those of us who still maintain some positivity and patience with this process, it's getting harder and harder to justify our dogged optimism; and persuade detractors like Patrick not to quit. In my view, something is still rolling along, often behind the scenes. I have explained why many times, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/02/ufo-disclosure-portal.html. Ross Coulthart has a typically Australian bluntness towards his critics; that this is not some kind of entertainment for #UFOTwitter, it's a serious business and people directly uninvolved are not always entitled to know what's going on. If Patrick is proved right I will feel disappointed, but if I am proved right, Patrick will miss out on all the fun! He has uninvited himself from the party. Psionics- The Minds that Summon UFO's is now available on a house site for a reasonable fee, see: https://www.psionics.film. The basic payment also grants you access to the extended reel with longer form interviews with some of those featured... but not me this time.

A Weekend in Politics

 
They say the political world stops for the weekend, but obviously not this one. I'm sorry I didn't write about these updates sooner, but I've been away at the Bases conference. The unflushable turd is finally round the U-bend; yes, Keir Starmer has resigned as prime minister. He will remain in office until Labour chooses a new leader, probably when Parliament returns from their summer break. This is a complex process, far more so than with the Conservatives, and it has happened far less often. There has not been a contested Labour leadership change since 2015; and only once before during a government, when Jim Callaghan succeeded Harold Wilson. Two-Tier Starlin's announcement followed the Makerfield by-election that was won by Andy Burnham, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2026/06/hpanwo-show-635-makerfield-election.html. This is a disappointing result, in my view; although Sargon of Akkad is pleased Restore Britain came third right on the polling prediction. I had hoped for better, but maybe my expectations were too high. Labour did not only win they actually doubled their majority. It could be this is just residual Northern tribalism, after all the Makerfield area has been a Labour stronghold since the party was founded in 1900; but it could also be because the official rightwing opposition in the shape of Reform UK has not won the public's trust. Good; it does not deserve it. At the same time fewer people than was necessary dared to leap over the chasm and back Restore. At the same time a few Restorers still voted tactically for Reform, despite the amazing opportunity Restore presented in Makerfield. The fears about vote splitting were unfounded; it would have made no difference to the outcome. Reform was polled to lose by a narrow margin, but in the end they only got 15,000; this is a huge failure for Farage's party. Hopefully this will be a lesson learned for those closet Loweists. A tactical vote for Reform is jumping into a lifeboat that is also sinking. There are more seaworthy alternatives currently paddling away from the Parliamentary Titanic. I suspect this "Reform-or-bust" delusion kept a lot of the electorate away from the polls and hampered the success or Restore. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehu6C3jK9bw.

Another lesson the people did not seem to understand was that their constituency has been exploited by the Westminster elite, the gaggle of suited bureaucrats, mostly Southerners, who are the nation's demolition crew. The man they elected, Josh Simons, has been removed, with his permission, and therefore their decision has been spat on; and for what? For a greater national and international political agenda. Andy Burnham is being considered to be on some sort of hero's journey, a Paul Atreides who is destined to save the Labour Party. It is extraordinary to think that a man who was not even an MP until last Friday could be prime minister within two months. What's more this outcome is being discussed in the media as a certainty, as if it were all planned from the start, before Josh Simons'.... sorry! Lord Simons'... resignation. It's as if the leadership contest is a mere formality, a foregone conclusion. This displays a major problem with the British political system that most other countries don't suffer. We, the people, cannot elect our head of government. They are merely selected by the majority party in the House of Commons. Other nations, such as the USA, have a separate election to appoint their head of executive power, in this case it is President Trump. I agree with Jacob Rees-Mogg, election to public office is a sacred duty and is not something to be bought, sold, bartered or traded for the fools' gold of more widespread power struggles. If I were Josh Simons I would never have quit. The party could then expel me; fine, I would sit on as an independent MP. Another good point Jacob makes is that this situation really does require a general election, even though it is not constitutionally necessary. This transformation is too radical and there is too much public disapproval. What will happen if... when Burnham gets into number 10? Nothing will improve, that's for sure. Probably most people won't even notice the difference. The one bit of good news from the Makerfield by-election is that the Tories came in just above Count Binface... By the way, Happy Brexit Day, ten years on!

What UFOlogists Say about Disclosure Day

 
In my recent review of the new film Disclosure Day, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/06/disclosure-day-film-review.html, I did an analysis of the mainstream critics' pronouncements of Spielberg's summer blockbuster. I deliberately avoided all reviews and interviews until after I had seen the film so I could make up my own mind. When I read the various movie columnists I saw that opinion was very divided. Then reviews started coming in from the UFO community. This took a few days longer because, unlike official journalists, we do not get invited to press previews. I was surprised, and a bit dismayed, to find that generally the UFO-osphere regards the film much less favourably than the mainstream media; and that is quite rare. I think a lot of it was disappointment. Our hopes were so high for Disclosure Day and we were hyping it up to be some kind of miracle. I myself tried to keep that instinct in check, and in my opinion it lived up to my expectations. That wasn't the only reason though; I suspect the way many UFOlogists have become more downhearted lately also contributed. (I'll avoid links to the following because there would be too many.) I was not surprised to find that the backslappers tended to be the ones who were most anti. They took their usual cynical "It's all a grift!" line. The skeptics were, of course, even more opposed. PZ Myers called it "mush-brained mystical bullshit through and through." His video is called I saw Disclosure Day so you don't have to. The thumbnail is the well-known image of Scanlon sitting in the dive chair with his gum-shield and grimace and the words: "This is what I looked like when I was watching Disclosure Day." One thing I did not expect was the hostility from the ultra-woo contingent; the believers in blue chickens, time travel and Antarctic temples etc. They all hated it. I recall one lady, whom I will not name, being furious at the idea of empathy towards the greys because she regards all greys as evil. "If I see a grey I'll kick its arse!" she hissed. Not all aliens are good guys by any means, but to make such a sweeping judgement of all greys is totally false and ignorant. Another woman, somebody I know and usually like, also took a very boorish line. She said she'd read a load of reviews and decided it was a total psyop so she decided to avoid it. Why can't she make up her own mind?

Condemnation is not universal though; Ross Coulthart, Dave Hodrien Andrew McGrillen and Richard Dolan enjoyed it. I think those with a more widespread interest, hopeful feelings about Disclosure and a more positive attitude are suited for getting the most out of this film. There are exceptions though. Surprisingly Bryce Zabel was not impressed; he felt it was not credible and too much like an action movie. Darcy Weir had mixed feelings about it. Steven Greenstreet astounded me. I assumed he would hate the film, but he actually had a lot of positive words to add along with his predictable scorn. I actually even agreed with some of his points. He said that the bad guys were too incompetent, and that's true. See how easy it was for Daniel to steal one of their cars and how they fell for the trick when he and Jane dumped it over the cliff. Boyd couldn't shoot straight during the train scene even though the range was almost point-blank. Why are Wardex such a threat to the truth coming out when they are that amateurish? I found it interesting to read what my fellow conspiratorial questers thought of Disclosure Day. Would it surprise you? I think it did me... I have yet to find any review from anybody as pro-DD as my own.

Kid Starmer

 
Our fearful non-leader has just released his most ridiculous speech to date. When you get over the hilarity of it, it's also one of his most sinister. Dressed in a tracksuit like a teenager himself, Keir Starmer announces that he intends to wield his new powers under the Online Safety Act. Saying "hand on heart", pronouncing the last word with a glottal stop to show how down-to-earth he is, that he all he wants is for children "to be safe and happy". He then explains how using social media "harms" them. Interesting that the previous attempt to bring in this legislation was called the "online harms bill". So he's going to ban all under-sixteens from using social media. He knows how difficult this is and how much resistance he will get from Silicon Valley... meaning Elon Musk, but he says he will "take them on!" Like Elon couldn't beat down Starmer with the back of his knee. YouTube does not publish dislikes on its thumb display anymore and videos like this will tell you why. The upload has 26,000 views and only 414 likes... Did everybody else just not thumb it at all? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS07X1HvPEc. Amazingly, for a change, Britain is not the first country to try out this new Big Brother law. Canada and Australia have... trust the colonies to try and up us in any game! In both nations it is failing badly. It does not protect children at all, in fact it increases risk because the platforms in those states drop their house child protection protocols because they don't think they need them anymore. As I explain in the background links below, the government have no intention of doing anything to make children safe online. If they did then they would be working with a pair of Ukrainian parents whose sons have been sucked into prostitution; as one Facebook user pithily put it: "How can you be a child protector and a nonce at the same time?" Zoomers are the most tech-savvy of all generations and can easily find ways to bypass the filters anyway.

The system will involve all social media users proving their identity, in other words "encouraging" people to adopt digital ID via the backdoor. Once the infrastructure is in place it can be ratcheted into any role the controllers want. These user databases will not be secure, by the way. The existing ones in Australia were hacked and a number of young women were doxed on 4Chan. These sentiments about child safety are meaningless except as an excuse to introduce full internet control; I've predicted this so many times. The result of this mean that, assuming Starmer gets away with his dastardly plan, you will no longer be able to post anonymously. Until now if you held private political opinions that you knew your employer could justify sacking you for, you could still express them by setting up an account without your real name. You can no longer do that. That is the whole point. The government are scared of people doing that, as I've said before. Maybe this is hopeful sign because it is most definitely an act of desperation. They are truly going for double-or-quits. The good news is that there are many ways to resist this tyranny using VPN's and supporting the lawsuits etc. It won't just be Elon either. Even the less principled social media giants will be tempted to challenge the government simply because of revenue loss. The current regime is not all-powerful; in fact they remind me of the East German administration a week before the fall of the Berlin Wall. They are acting tough and in control, but they are not. Fear not, readers; freedom is an irresistible force and the government are not the immovable object they want us to think they are.

Hush by MD Selig

 
Most writers fear one thing above all others: plagiarism; and they desire one thing above all others: inspiration. Strangely enough the difference between the two is very small and sometimes difficult to discern. (If I were in a cynical mood I would say it is sales figures!) For the first time I have come across another author who I am pretty sure has read the Roswell trilogy and it has given him ideas. Hush is a long, complex and intricate story by MD Selig, somebody I'd not previously heard of, involving a virtual laundry list of theories currently circulating in conspiratorial UFOlogy. They include the Nimitz footage, humanoid aliens living among us, catastrophic Disclosure, secret organizations, deep underground military bases, MH370, reptilians and adrenochrome harvesting, what the characters call "screamshit". The story follows Vyla Kells, a physicist who works at CERN who ends up joining MJ12 and investigating UFO's. It turns out she has family connections that make her a perfect applicant for the job. She also has some psionic abilities, including remote viewing. Her style of remote viewing is unusual though; she can not only see people and things in other places and times, she can place herself inside them and temporarily "become" them in the sense that she finds herself entering their own consciousness; seeing what they see, feeling what they feel and even thinking their thoughts. In this way she has insights into the Roswell incident and other conspiracies that nobody else could ever achieve. Oddly enough this concept also occurs in the new movie Disclosure Day, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/06/disclosure-day-film-review.html. It was also the basis of Delores Cannon's mediumship. Like many people inside the programme, Vyla finds herself on the receiving end of surveillance and harassment. On her adventures she meets some very unusual individuals with names like "Plato" and "Swizzle". She discovers that people who appear to be humans from earth might in fact be nothing of the sort. They have intentions on humanity that are extremely disturbing and frightening; not least because, like everything else in this book, they might well be based on something that is true. This nightmarish theme may not be suitable for all readers. The author seems as embedded and institutionalised into the UFO, paranormal and conspiratorial world as I am. He has clearly studied the work of Ashton Forbes when it comes to the narrative about MH370. Some of the names mentioned in the story are real people, such as Michael Herrera, a member of the US Marine Corps who reports an encounter with an ET/secret space programme craft in Indonesia. Phil Schneider is also mentioned, a man who claimed to have fought against ET's in the DUMB at Dulce. One of the book's characters is called Eileen Fanton, a name that sounds very much like Lorien Fenton, who is a renowned figure in the UFOlogy and SSP research community, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/06/ben-emlyn-jones-on-fenton-perspective.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/06/ben-in-desert-2.html. Selig must have heard of her and may have incorporated her name into his choice of handle for the character, if only even subconsciously. On the technical side, the book takes some getting used to. The dialogue paragraphing diverges from the conventional form with quotes being on a different line to the person speaking. After you learn to deal with that though, the story is absorbing and enthralling. Was MD Selig inspired by me? Quite possibly; he seems to know about almost everybody else in the UFO conspirasphere; he has to have come across HPANWO at some point and maybe also my own fiction. If so then do I object? No. In fact I'm glad to have given him this gift; and I don't care if Hush sells ten times as many copies as Roswell Rising. Actually I'm pleased for him. It is unhealthy to envy the success of others. Other conspiratologists have reviewed Hush by MD Selig, such as Laura Eisenhower and Barbara Lamb. I'm happy to add my name to that list.

Ben Emlyn-Jones live at the Mablethorpe Group 3

 
I will be speaking at the Mablethorpe Group on Monday the 7th of September. My lecture will be entitled: Zombies, Viruses and what the government really know! Zombies are well-known figures of mythology and horror fiction, and their profile is steadily increasing in recent books and films. However more and more they have been appearing in the media and in official government publications portrayed as real or semi-real. What’s going on? The venue is: The Dunes Complex (which room they use will depend on how many people confirm attending), Central Promenade, Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire LN12 1RG. The event starts at 7.30 PM. There is no entrance fee, but the organizers request a voluntary donation.

Cyclical Phenomena

 
A few months ago I wrote an article about curling and the mysterious element in the sport that nobody can explain, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/02/curling-mystery.html. I have since come across something very similar in a video by one of the most distinctive science YouTubers, Simon Whistler, the most charismatic baldy since... well, me. It's all about bicycles. This is a mode of transport that is surprisingly recent. The first one was invented in Scotland in 1839. For such a relatively simple machine I'm surprised nobody thought of it a long time before. For comparison, the first working steam locomotive was invented less than forty years previously; and the first car was put on the market barely forty years later. You'd think those two were far greater engineering challenges. The "safety bike", one with frame mounted pedals and a chain drive connected to a crank on the rear wheel, was first built in the 1880's. It was so called because if you fell off it wasn't from such a great height as you would from a penny-farthing. The safety's design worked so well it remains fundamentally unchanged to the present day. I was therefore very surprised when I found out that there are phenomena associated with bicycles that cannot be explained. The simplicity of the mechanism should mean that the physics of its function would be comprehensive to a pre-Newtonian; but no.

A bike only has two wheels and stays upright by the rider making constant tiny movements to its direction that counters its inevitable imbalance. The rider can also do this by shifting their weight slightly. It takes a while for a new rider to achieve this, but after a bit of experience this movement becomes automatic and subconscious. This should mean that a bicycle moving without a rider should immediately topple over, but it doesn't always. Under some conditions a riderless bike will keep going for as long as it has forward motion. If you push it down a hill this could be for miles. Why? Well, one theory from the late nineteenth century is that the rotating wheels remain in a rigid state because they are spinning, rather like a gyroscopes. This was disputed in the 1970's. Another theory is that the front wheel acts like a caster on a shopping trolley, slightly trailing the centre of its steering axis; but this was eventually also discredited at about the same time. So what is the real cause of this strange self-balancing effect; and why does it not work on a bike with a rider? This movie clip demonstrates the difference, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMV0PCUzkag. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJkJvS2ou1E. As with the curling conundrum, this is another example of how the very simplest of physical systems sometimes reveal themselves to be only a thin veil of the mundane covering the unfathomable. I like the quote at the end of the source video by the science writer Michael Brooks. Who needs black holes and dark matter when we have bike enigmas that evade explanation even more? Would an equivalent of CERN be necessary for us to find out how a bicycle really works? It makes me wonder about perpetual motion, and also the strange properties of Eric Laithwaite's spinning wheel; see the background link. There is definitely something fundamental about the universe we have yet to find out; and the initial clue has come from a machine that millions of people use every day for transport.
