JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

John Keel and Lou Zinsstag

Ube John did indeed write Lou Zinsstag to order copies of the Monguzzi photos (see the last post). Their exchange is not particularly notable, but they do trade a few optimistic remarks on the upcoming end of UFO secrecy, and we learn that seven UFO photos cost five dollars in 1966, and that both John and Ms. Zinsstag firmly believed in them. From what I understand, Monguzzi had confessed to a hoax back in 1952, but many people didn’t accept his confession.

  3. I guess later John used info on Monguzzi for his article in The True Report on Flying Saucers 1967.

    It was titled: “Who Was That 6-Inch-High Animated Tin Can I Saw You With Last Night?”

  5. Yes; the Monguzzi story was apparently a popular topic at the time. It’s also possible that Monguzzi’s confession was disseminated more in Italy than in the US or UK; most of my Googling for it turns up Italian sources.
