One of our favorite and one of the most prolific authors of paranormal books, Nick Redfern, is returning to The Paracast. We'll be discussing, among other things, his latest two books, "Bloodline of the Gods: Unravel the Mystery of the Human Blood Type to Reveal the Aliens Among Us" and "Men in Black: Personal Stories & Eerie Adventures."

Heck, we could do two shows on these alone.

The recording session will be Wed., September 23rd at 6 PM Pacific.
 
Nick,

(Greetings from New Jersey, USA)

A. Do you buy into the Rendlesham/Bentwaters case and

B. If so, are there certain parts of it you do not buy into?

(Meaning, I know over the course of years the story changes, get's weirder, binary codes have gotten downloaded telepathically, etc. What parts, if any, do not make sense or do you disagree with and why?)

Thank you.

Nick,

Are you familiar with the Peter Khoury/'Hair of the Alien' case in which a 28-year old Australian man claimed two unearthly women - one Nordic and one Asian - appeared on his bed as he slept, raped him and then de-materialized? Blond pubic hair allegedly left by the Nordic female was DNA-tested and:

'...showed a combination found only in a small percentage of the population of the British Isles and of Basques (northern Spain), combined with a rare Chinese-Mongol type found in a tiny population group in Taiwan. In short, it's not possible for a normal biological human to have two separate types of mitochondrial DNA, as that means the person must have had two separate biological mothers (not grandmothers - two separate mothers).'

Another conclusion of the DNA analysis was that the donor would have been:

'...immune from the effects of HIV, smallpox and a whole basket of serious/lethal viruses which afflict the human population.'

Any thoughts or comments?

Q. Do you think Biblical stories detailing characters that lived very long lives (compared to us) could have any validity to them?

Q. The hotel lobby footage of 2 Men in Black from a few years ago - possibly real? Your thoughts?

Q. Do you know of any case involving MIB's that are actually in or around a UFO? Seems to me they are always separate, coming to witnesses in the days after sightings/experiences. (is there something innate in the phenomena of 'never the twain shall meet'?)
 
Do you think this bloodline has anything to do with the observations made in the past by Keel how certain ethnicities such as the Irish and Native Americans have a stronger attachment (?) to paranormal phenomena?


If so do you think that given this bloodline in some cases will have been diluted that there would be a distinction between people of mixed bloodlines and those that may be full blooded Irish or native Americans and if this is the case why ?

Not a good incentive to encourage us to buy your books Nick :)

You are so prolific and hard-working, Nick; do you think there's any possibility that you and others like you are unwitting psychic vampires who are drawing energy off of the general populace who are as a result sluggish and ineffectual (like me):p
 
1. The Men In Black are now archetypes inside of paranormal discourse. Do you see their role as more of an intermediary between paranormal phenomenon and human beings, warning us away from dangerous elements we should not get too close to, or are they their own example of paranormal reality?

2. The Men In Black stories feature odd ball character in their out of time clothing, strange mannerisms, big black cars etc. like they're trapped in some grade B 50's gangster movie. Why do you think they are wearing an appearance from another era, as if they are trying to fit in but doing so miserably - is this intentional or did they not get the fashion update?

3. When you look at the Men In Black phenomenon as a whole it is both absurdist and terrifying for those who encounter them. In many ways their impact on witnesses is quite similar to those who have encountered humanoids from alien craft. Yet the MIB's often intimidate people while doing very human things or even by speaking in English. Do you think they are more of a genuine paranormal phenomenon, or just humans masquerading as such?
 
hey guys
Q1 what does Nick think of the Montauk theory that includes project rain bow and Al Bielek?

Q2 Has Nick ever had reports from Military Personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan About strange craft searching the ground and following drones ?
 
Hi Mr. Redfern,

Andy Colvin has mentioned that according to John Keel's research, many of the early reports of "Men in Black" mentioned that they had German accents and seemed more interested in squelching discussion of a possible earth-based saucer technology rather than an extraterrestrial explanation. This might imply a connection between Germans, (possibly Paperclip or Soviet Nazis) and the Men in Black. Do you think there is any validity to this supposition?

Could this have had something to do with Albert K Bender's decision to completely drop his research into the subject, his refusal to discuss it with anyone, and then his ridiculous explanation for dropping the subject in Flying Saucers and the Three Men, after which he again refused to discuss the subject?

Reinhold Schmidt also claimed that the spacemen he met had German accents, spoke high German to each other, occasionally drove around in either an MG or a Volkswagen, and enjoyed MJB brand coffee. He later stated that he believed the space people he'd met were actually Nazi agents carrying out some kind of operation for the Soviets. Assuming his story is true, it would seem that at one time human agents were actively trying to convince the public that UFOs are piloted by extraterrestrials. Do you think any of the other contactees were similarly led to believe that they had interacted with ET piloted flying saucers, possibly through a display of highly classified aerial or mind control technology?

Do you think that the big secret behind flying saucer technology may have something to do with nuclear propulsion? If a government or military knew that a nuclear powered aircraft/spacecraft would outperform anything else on earth, but that it would also be harmful or even deadly to human health and the environment, would they really cease all research and development(as has been claimed by a certain Godfather of Ufology), or would they just go ahead and do it but bury the evidence with classified secrecy and manipulation of public perception?

Since the publication of your book Body Snatchers in the Desert, have you uncovered any further evidence validating the Body Snatchers scenario that you can share with us?

Thank you Mr. Redfern!

Just FYI: After Bender wrote his book, which was published by Gray Barker, I did meet him at a lecture in New York City, sponsored by Jim Moseley. Bender seemed sincere enough, although the book, heavily edited in Gray's distinctive style, read like bad fiction. Moseley's ex-wife, Sandra, who prided herself as an amateur psychologist, remarked to us after we had dinner with Bender that he clearly had issues.

But the original Bender episode was the trigger for the Men In Black legend, which Barker exploited in his book, "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers." Some suggest it was the last serious book Gray wrote, although that might also be said about the allegorical "Silver Bridge," which covered the mothman phenomenon and the tragic bridge collapse in Point Pleasant.

We'll try to ask the questions, including the one about Bender, however. They are long, but we'll do what we can. There's lots of ground to cover.
 
Nick:

  • Do cultural specifics influence accounts of Men In Black, from state to state or country to country ?

  • Are there any reports of such phenomenon from countries such as India, Africa or China ??
 
1. How do mainstream evolutionary biologists explain the existence negative blood types? Why do you find their argument unconvincing (if in fact there is indeed a theory that explains it)

2. I have heard you mention in previous interviews that the men in black are a relatively recent phenomenon dating to the fifties. Perhaps this is so in a cosmetic appearance (fedoras suits and the like) but does this not come from an earlier tradition? By that, I mean many of the witch hysteria cases from the 16th and 17th centuries repeatedly refer to the "black man" who was seen as the emmissaries off the devil. Do you think the mib are a new thing or rather recent cultural interpretation of an older set of entities filtered through the cultural lens of modern america? There were clearly not fedoras or suits in 17th century Massachusetts.

3. Related to this question are there accounts of mib in nonwestern cultural contexts? Specifically, in western culture the color black carries negative connotations. In china do you see men in white (or still black)? In thailand men in purple? Among the cherokee men in blue? You get my point hopefully. And if this makes no sense, gene and chris, then dont ask it ;)
 
Show's in the can. So we'll have to postpone this till he returns. And it won't be long, since he has so much new material out now.
 
How have magical bloodline theories (such as r h negative blood, the reptilians.) manage to keep their popularity in the age of Democratic governments?
We elect people from such random backgrounds that in order for the r h negative people to rule. We all have to be r h negative in order for this to work.
