JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

A Letter to Charles Bowen, January 29, 1967

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:57 pm

http://reborn-babies-dolls.com/2009 John writes to Charles Bowen (editor of the British magazine Flying Saucer Review), responding to a phone call. Apparently, Bowen had asked him to write an article on the 1966 UFO flap, and John is rather apologetic about the result. He also mentions his attempt to decipher the papers produced by UFO contactee John Reeves, which contain symbols that remind him of others reported by Antônio Vilas Boas, George Adamski, and Lonnie Zamora (in Socorro, NM). He did keep a file on his research, and published a booklet called The Reeves Papers: A Modern Rosetta Stone? There doesn’t seem to be much mention of it online, so I’ll have to dig it out… He also mentions a story about “a vast complex of underground chambers at the Cape Kennedy launching site.”

  1. The article referenced above appeared in the March-April (V.13, no.2) issue of FSR, available at Saturday Night Uforia:

    It really is a nice overview of the 1966 flap. John could write well even under pressure.

    Also in that issue, Charles Bowen comments in an editorial on the copyright problems discussed the last few letters here that “[…] Mr. Keel has acted throughout in an exemplary manner.” I don’t know how much Bowen employed his blue pencil, but John’s footnotes remained.
