That’s the question Billy Cox raises after reading a daring article by Colm Kelleher. Kelleher is the biochemist who served as AAWSAP Deputy Director during its run and has long been associated with investigations of Skinwalker Ranch. Kelleher’s article appeared in EdgeScience 50: The Pentagon’s Secret UFO Program, the Hitchhiker Effect, and Models of Contagion. Kelleher’s propositions for scientific physiological/sociological/psychological studies of the uber-weird phenomena radiating from Skinwalker Ranch and apparent from other Close Encounters with the Anomalous have Billy “freaked out”! More on ufological-related thought comes from Michael Harris Hoffman in Walking in on ET’s Dinner Party. This listing of likely consequences of successful human “interstellar broadcast messages” calls to mind the classic Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man.” Adam Frank wants us to get excited as “The Little Book of Aliens” Begins. To be perfectly frank, Frank’s projected book will likely be UFO-as-ET-skeptical, but just as surely a worthwhile read. Lastly we hear of another sad indicator of the changing cultural landscape: the passing of John Harney, the founder/editor of the Merseyside UFO Bulletin, known to us today as Magonia. A premonitory piece by John Harney, perhaps “the last of the first generation of British ufologists,” is featured. Requiescat in pace. (WM)
