http://circleplastics.co.uk/plus/laobiao.php John writes a “humdinger” of a letter to the Lorenzens, obviously exhilarated by having turned in his Playboy article (entitled, like his later book, Operation Trojan Horse), and the prospect of a large advance for the book. He discusses Ralph Rankow, NICAP’s photo analyst; Coral Lorenzen’s theory that aliens want to put drugs in our water supply; silicon-based aliens; UFOs and Indians; and Jim Moseley. He did start work on his UFO film; I posted part of the script here.
Hey Doug, you wouldn’t happen to have access to any of these 8mm movies of John’s, would you? Quite the letter.

Marsh — Here’s some more info about John’s films: http://www.johnkeel.com/?p=260
I’ve worked with film restorer Anthony Matt to preserve and transfer John’s films, and we’ve posted some on YouTube. Here, for example, is some of the footage he shot in Egypt in the ’50s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H1cpJFsRVw

[…] “are even equipped with sirens and beepers to call attention to themselves.” In A Letter to the Lorenzens, May 26, 1966 John makes all sorts of remarkable claims about the visitors and what they’re likely up to. […]

Hi Doug,
Do you know the source for Keel´s claim of silicon-based entities? This idea comes up now and then in contactee literature. Here are two examples I´ve mentioned in my blog:
In his book Venus Rising, author Raymond Andrew Keller II, documents an interesting conversation in the Spring of 1992 with ufologist and contactee Gabriel Green regarding bodies found in crashed saucers: “There were several remarkable differences, but not so outwardly noticeable. First they didn´t have the spiralled DNA strand found in nearly all indigenous life forms on Earth… their cells were actually composed of latticed crystalline hexagonal structures, similar in composition to the walls of their scout craft. It´s almost as though they were artificially constructed beings, designed to easily disassemble or reassemble. But their cells were silicon-based, rather than carbon-based…” p. 172)
A very similar description of space beings is given by the remarkable deep trance medium Mark Probert: “The blood nature of these beings is this: Carbon, Silicon, and Hydrogen. Especially is this true when they take on form so as to be seen by your eyes… Silicon and Carbon makes for strength, as in the case of diamonds, which do not deteriorate except under great heat. This makes these beings very durable. It is likely that in taking form such bodies could suffer such injury as to produce seeming death; but the entity concerned would simply withdraw and reconstruct its vehicle when and where desired.” (Round Robin, vol. XIII, no. 1, May-June 1957, p. 13)
All the best

Håkan — No, I don’t know where John got that. My guess is that he read about it in the UFO literature, and then “Mr. Apol” confirmed it. But that’s just a guess.
