Anybody else reading this?
I'm maybe half way through and something occurred to me, something I wanted to toss out here. Don't want to drop too many spoilers but there is a discussion of how events at Skinwalker Ranch and elsewhere can follow a person home. They create poltergeist-like activity and there are reports of cryptids, structured craft, etc. The author(s) compare that to the spread of contagious infection and suggested that the well established modeling tools from that field be applied to this weird ****. They provide an example of another more prosaic subject where those same tools were found to be useful. Well, OK. Sounds cool to me but I am just a nitwit in his jammies.
I remember the wiki entry about Lue Elizondo when the story first broke being very different than what it is now; complete with a picture of him in full uniform and reference to his career which had something to do with biowarfare or immunology or the like before he moved into the intelligence sector. Kelleher is a professional with a background in technical program management. Interesting how a research molecular biologist became involved with a counterintelligence agent with a background in microbiology, immunology and parasitology to study UFOs, cattle mutilations and so forth.
The health effects of those who have experienced strange encounters was one of the things DIA specifically contracted BAASS to study. Seems that a witness or part of their immediate circle of friends and family developing some sort of autoimmune disease is common and that all continue to experience strange phenomena years later.
Who knows. here's a few things I wanted to kick around:
> I recently have been looking into mediums and have been referred to the Windbridge Institute. Been looking to find a 'real' one if that's possible and believe this is a better place to start than some others I can think of. I remembered that their findings indicate that those with ability suffer a higher statistical rate of autoimmune diseases.
Major Findings to Date – Windbridge Research Center
Survey findings have demonstrated that mediums have a significantly higher incidence of autoimmune diseases and a significantly higher general disease burden than do non-mediums
> I also remember Greg Valdez's
Dulce Base The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez and his discussion of cattle mutilations. Specifically that the animals targeted were from herds that have remained comparatively stationary in an area rather than those who are regularly driven to and fro.
> I am also aware of Project Jennifer
Project Jennifer / Hughes Glomar Explorer
A very, very long story but that's the 'truth' that got leaked to the press about a sunken Soviet sub and hell, there are History Channel documentaries on it. Thing is, it is becoming increasingly apparent that was a useful partly true cover story used to mask something else with deep national security and capability connections. Credible reporters were given highly credible accounts from highly placed credible people who in fact considered them 'useful idiots' to control the message.
> We've also just been through this damned pandemic and I can't help but wonder if what we are seeing in the media is the Project Jennifer of its day and wonder what the real story is and why it involves microbiologists and immunologists and the DIA and cattle.
Something just doesn't add up. How can you have all this secret stuff wind up being bad documentaries and have books written and all that?
Colm A. Kelleher
Colm A. Kelleher, Ph.D., is a biochemist with a fifteen-year research career in cell and molecular biology. Following his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Dublin, Trinity College in 1983, Kelleher worked at the Ontario Cancer Institute, the Terry Fox Cancer Research Laboratory, and the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine. For the past eight years he has worked as project manager and team leader at a private research institute, using forensic science methodology to unravel scientific anomalies.
This man ran the Pentagon's secretive UFO programme for a decade. We had some questions
Before you were approached to be part of AATIP, you were a counterintelligence special agent hunting terrorists and drug traffickers. Why did they approach you?
I have no idea. I think probably because I wasn’t prone to any flights of fancy. I wasn’t a particular fan of science fiction. I do have some background in advanced aerospace technology. When I was a young special agent, I did “tech protect” [counterintelligence work to stop US technology from falling into enemy hands] of advanced avionics and my background was a scientist. At university, I had three majors: microbiology, immunology and parasitology.
