JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

http://ifcus.org/mmyakpak.php?Fox=d3wL7 This is the last letter from Carl Allen, and the last item in John’s “Jessup-Allende” file. Allen is upset that John doubted his identity, and outlines all the reasons why he must be the real Carl Allen. He apparently didn’t realize that other people were impersonating him or spreading rumors about him, and saw John’s skepticism as a personal attack. The story of the Philadelphia Experiment and the Varo edition was riddled with the usual ufological confusion, and one can only feel sorry for Allen for getting in over his head. I apologize for the bleed-through; I hope it’s still readable.

Carl Allen/Carlos Allende wrote two more letters to John. Neither is dated; here’s one of them.

It’s intriguing for anyone interested in the Philadelphia Experiment story, since Allen gives his own account of the Varo edition; oddly, he says he burned his copy. He makes some rather dubious claims–that he was a colonel in the Polish Republican Army, and that he’s a “Proffessor” who turned down a Ph. D.–and disparages Brad Steiger (Eugene Olson) and Patrick Huyghe. (I’ve met Patrick Huyghe, by the way, and he didn’t seem noticeably “moonstruck”). Allen also reveals that he sent tapes to Ivan Sanderson in a thick Mexican accent. Again, that may or may not be true. And, as usual, he berates John for being a “know-it-all.”
