TL;DR: We’ll take a look at two “alien encounters” from just before 1900, exposing them as phony. Afterward, I’ll suggest what we might learn from these events in the larger context.

Advisory: I’m saving the analysis for the second part of this post because I always caution readers to beware disinfo agents pushing everyone towards certain conclusions. The necessity in this instance is this: okay, maybe these incidents were “not as advertised”, but why? How does it all fit into the Big Plan? The Big(ger) Plan is what we should always be after, so if you’re looking for ideas on that, I’ll give you mine. Otherwise, just skip it if you wish your views to stay “unpolluted”. (Also, TBH, there’s not that much evidence to go over so I thought I’d pad this out.)

My previous posts have covered Roswell, Edward J. Ruppelt, and J. Allen Hynek, starting in 1947 and going forward a bit. Here, we go back in time a good chunk. Not to “UFOs in the Bible”, because the longer story you get on those is another disinfo program. That’s actually quite a long story as to what’s going on, so I will have to ask you to set aside those “ancient UFOs” for the time being.

We go first to the much shorter but far more well-known Aurora, Texas, UFO incident of 1897. If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard a hundred shows covering this famous incident. Hey, you don’t know UFOs if you don’t know about Aurora! You likely could say many things about it: lightning storm, windmill, wreckage down a well, ayylmao in the graveyard. But (and I’m serious about this) test your knowledge right now: can you think of who owned the farm on which the UFO crashed?

I take these pains to clearly demonstrate how “They” hide the truth from us. It’s not primary or even important that secrets be classified or in secluded archives or you get booted off Twitter for mentioning them. The truth is hard to hide so They arrange to make it forgotten, first by making it unmemorable or seemingly unimportant. That’s easily enough accomplished: make all the stupid bullshit which may be true but will lead you nowhere seem exciting and titillating and what you want to tell your family and friends about that they don’t want to hear.

This is the answer to the question: Judge J.S. Proctor.

Is that what you’re going to text your bestie right now? Of course not. Hopefully, though, some of you may be like me and have already said, “Oh, okay, that’s enough for me. This whole Aurora thing is some bullshit.”

Let me amplify just a bit: You’ll find the Proctors prominent on the list of people of the Salem witch trials, our landmark hoaxed event. W.W. “Mac” Brazel found UFO wreckage on his ranch at Roswell, and guess who his closest neighbors were? The Proctors. Ever hear of Dodge cars? Capt. John Dodge was living in Salem at the time of the trials, and his wife was born Sarah Proctor. John Proctor sailed to America in 1635 with a man named Thomas Parker. Search on “luigi mangione parker” and I suspect you’ll find more than you suspected. I think you get my drift that finding a Proctor placed just outside the spotlight is damning enough.

Frankly, there’s not more to be said about Aurora, but you can believe what you heard before if you like. If you subscribe to my case, though, see how the crux of this was public yet no one knows it? Think how much interesting detail you’ve heard about Aurora, and now you know why they dreamed it up over the years.

Now, this other encounter is one you’ve probably never heard of before. I personally had not until I ran into it doing all this UFO research. It does not even have a Wiki page so far as I know. That’s strange and I’ll analyze that strangeness later, but an article describing it is:

Local retiree traces reported UFO landing in 1896 Lodi (Lodi News 3/20/2015)

Lodi, in fact, was the site of one of the first documented claims of attempted alien abductions in the 1890s. Col. H.G. Shaw, a Civil War veteran and journalist, wrote of his first-hand experience in The Evening Mail on Nov. 27, 1896. It’s been one of the most widespread accounts of aliens and UFOs.

That last sentence is typical of what is called “journalism” today, where you just make shit up. Oddly, the claim they hedge on is whether it was the first, even though the wiki page on “Alien abduction” lists It as such. As usual, I just stumbled in to all this listening to this back catalog podcast:

Episode 51: Aliens (Theories of the Third Kind 6/4/2020, ff 4 minutes if you’re super-impatient)

Now, can we connect this to The Salem Witch Bullshit of 1692? I think so. Let me refer you first to this bullshit: The Paisley Witches of 1697:

On 17 August 1696, 11-year-old Christian Shaw, the daughter of a local landowner, John Shaw of Bargarran, saw one of her family's servants, Catherine Campbell, steal a drink of milk…. The following day, 22 August, Shaw became violently ill with fits, similar to the symptoms reported a few years earlier in the American Salem witch trials of 1693.

Much nonsense ensues, but again the key is public yet unseen: the name Shaw. Not common at all, is it? Now may I refer you to this person?

Elizabeth Booth was born in 1674 and was one of the accused as well as one of the accusers in the Salem Witch Trials…. When she was eighteen, she began accusing people (ten people on record) of practicing witchcraft, including John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Sarah Proctor, William Proctor, Benjamin Proctor, Woody Proctor….

There are the Proctors, yes, but what’s the connection to the Shaws, you’re asking? Glad you asked! I refer you to the “Life after the trial” section:

Two years after the witchcraft trials, Booth married Israel Shaw on December 26, 1695. She was twenty two years old and the two were married in Salem, Essex co., MA.

Well, well, so there were Shaws in Salem at the time of those trials, close enough to the events to soon marry one of the main participants, and fake Shaw witches were in Jolly Old England right after. Well fucking well.

Bonus (which comes early, before all the analysis you may want to skip): I found something interesting and invite you to ask yourself if it’s merely coincidental. It concerns the fictional franchise of The Uncanny X-Men, and their fictional SHAW FAMILY TREE:

The “Shaw” name has always been synonymous with power. Unfortunately for the Shaws, power corrupts. This article will show how generations of the Shaw’s have “tainted” themselves with their thirst for power from as far back as the Salem witch trials…. In 1692, English born Reverend Hiram Shaw was appointed minister of the town of Salem.

BTW, the fictional story arc in which these Shaws first appear is “Hellfire Club”. Turns out that connects directly to all these same families we’ve been discussing. Funny, right? Okay, on to the analysis….

So how do these two small incidents fit into the Big Picture? When conspiracy theorists talk about Project Blue Beam (as loosely defined), they always say it goes as far back as President Ronald Reagan’s comments at the UN. Welp, it goes much farther back than that:

John Dewey Speech 1917 (Hour of the Time 12/15/1999 <- the original site went offline in 2025 so get these things while you can)

Some one remarked that the best way to unite all the nations on this globe would be an attack from some other planet. In the face of such an alien enemy, people would respond with a sense of their unity of interest and purpose.

Exactly what Ronnie Ray-Gun said, isn’t it? So the concept has been around a long, long time, and I don’t think it’s too much to imagine it was around at the time of these late 19th Century “alien encounters”. Let’s just assume for the sake of argument that “They” make and execute these very big, very long-term plans. Conspiracy theorists take this as an article of faith, but that’s exactly what I want to question.

Okay, so we get this Blue Beam Bullshit in 1896 and 1897, and it’s pretty lame IMHO. As far as promotion, I’d wager no one has even heard of the Lodi incident. Why did they even bother with it? Far worse, They didn’t pick up the thread of this program for fifty more years! WTF?

Further, after all that time, neither Roswell nor the Kenneth Arnold incident (also fake but which I have yet to write up) is a “continuation” of either of these incidents or even matches each other.

Also, what kind of beta test was this? They began with “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, at the sixth and final level of the “Close encounters” scale. If you recall, the movie itself introduced the scale to the public and worked its way up for dramatic effect. J. Allen Hynek came up with that scale, which wraps us back around.

The point is this: suppose this was all a screenplay about “a coming alien invasion of Earth”, and the treatment you were handed included these four incidents as the first installment of the franchise. You would tell the screenwriter to GTFO and that he’d never eat lunch in Hollywood again. The treatment would go in the trash as utterly unsalvageable.

I say all that to point out two things, each related to the other in a way you’ll have to determine for yourself. One is that if you carry the notion that “They” are SuperGeniuses carefully and cleverly scripting events to shape the world, you should probably seriously reconsider that. The other is that the vast majority of the population actually buys into this dumb bullshit without question, and you should probably seriously take that into consideration in your Estimate of the Situation.

Thanks for reading! More UFO incident analysis on the way!
