These are John&#8217;s raw notes of his investigations, recorded as they happened in 1967. He used much of the material for <em>The Mothman Prophecies<\/em>, but not all of it. They don&#8217;t represent his final thoughts on anything; he had just started researching UFOs, after leaving a career as a TV writer, and was trying to figure things out.<\/p>\n<p>2. Just as John was not an authority on anything, I&#8217;m not an authority on John. And my posting of his notes doesn&#8217;t mean that I agree with his conclusions, or can defend them. I try to clarify obscure and topical references if I can. Other than that, you&#8217;re on your own!<\/p>\n<p>3. However, I do suggest you not read this for evidence of aliens. It&#8217;s probably most interesting as a record of one man grappling with a strange subject, and of a strange time and place.<\/p>\n<p>And so, we move on to October 23, 1967. It was, as John says, &#8220;a busy day on the phone.&#8221; Jaye Paro reports an encounter with the Men In Black; Helen Oglemyer lets John speak with one of them, an entity named Argo; Jaye calls back and John talks with Agar; and Jaye calls at 1 am to report that Apol\/Appell has taken LSD and is &#8220;acting strangely.&#8221; (He has, of course, acted strangely before.) It&#8217;s not clear from John&#8217;s notes if he talked directly with Argo and Agar, or if Helen and Jaye acted as interpreters.<\/p>\n<p>At the end, John mentions an odd letter from Gray Barker; I posted it earlier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/?p=489\">here<\/a>, since John had kept it in another file.<\/p>\n<p>The Barbara mentioned here is Barbara Hudson, who was dating James Moseley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/?attachment_id=3650\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3650\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"1250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE4.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE4-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE4-768x1011.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE4-778x1024.jpg 778w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/?attachment_id=3651\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3651\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE5.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE5-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.johnkeel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/FILETHREE5-768x694.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before we continue with John&#8217;s notes, here are a few pointers for readers: 1.
