This Week's Episode: UFO researcher and author Preston Dennett visits Gene and Randall and brings with him a number of the sightings he's written about over the years. He focuses primarily on his 2020 book, "UFOs at the Drive-In" covering sightings by movie-watchers over the years in the U.S. Just imagine: you’re watching your favorite movie at the local drive-in theater when suddenly you see a strange flying object swoop down from above and hover right over the movie screen. The object is metallic, saucer-shaped, with portholes and colored lights, and is totally silent. It’s a UFO! Cars start honking and flashing their lights. People exit their cars, pointing and screaming. Some drive away in terror. Then the UFO starts to move around over the theater putting on a show that’s far more interesting than the movie itself! It may sound like science fiction, except it’s true! Preston is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of more than 24 books and more than 100 articles about UFOs and the paranormal.

After The Paracast -- Available exclusively for Paracast+ subscribers on December 13: Gene and Randall present paranormal book author Preston Dennett for an interview that began on the December 13, 2020 episode of The Paracast. Preston talks about the possible presence of UFOs during the 1965 New York blackout, where millions of residents in eight states lost power for hours. What about possible reverse-engineering of alien technology, and is it possible that some inventions we take for granted have off-world origins? What about the fact that, when so-called alien beings appear to communicate with Earthlings, they never reveal anything in the way of advice or information that we don't already know? Preston began investigating UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends and co-workers were having dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated a wide variety of paranormal phenomena.

As usual, anything said about the presumed behavior of UFOs must be based on a number of assumptions. So, if they are truly physical transport vehicles from other planets, we assume that they are being piloted by intelligent and logical beings that have motives that we surely can understand.
Let’s stick with that theory for the time being, since that’s what most people who believe UFOs are real are willing to accept. It’s also the easiest to explain; it gets more complicated when we enter the multiverse, collective unconscious, co-creation and other more exotic possibilities.
Well, exotic if we accept the extraterrestrial hypothesis as logical.
So consider that Earth has been visited by one or more alien races for decades, maybe centuries. If, as more and more scientists are willing to accept, there are likely loads of life-bearing planets out there in our galaxy — and beyond — there may be an uncounted number of them that have intelligent life. If some of the more advanced races choose to explore their galactic neighborhood and beyond, well, that’s why they are here.
If it’s just one alien species, why have they stuck around here for so long? Why do their aircraft appear to engage in the same sort of cat-and-mouse games for years on end without letup? Why do they continue to buzz aircraft, fly all-too-close to military installations and power plants, and hover above drive-in movie theaters, for example? Why do they kidnap unsuspecting Earthlings and transport them to their spaceships to undergo primitive physical experiments?
The assumption is, of course, that they are either friendly towards us, or just don’t care. The frightening possibility that they mean us harm appears less possible since there has been little evidence of any hostility. Or maybe there is.
Well, we have sent up airplanes that fire at them.
But one real problem is abductions. If they are indeed being done by ET, such actions are, by our definition of proper behavior, hostile. Consider of an Earthling flew above someone’s home, landed, entered that home and snatched one or more of the residents. Consider if it happened in a rural area somewhere, say near a forest or in a desert.
It doesn’t matter how it was done. If one of our people did it, it would be a felony by any definition of criminal behavior. Arrest and conviction could mean decades in prison. There are no excuses for acting in this fashion except for an act of war in which enemy combatants are captured.
So why accept such questionable behavior as proper because the offenders were born on other planets?
Besides, by any description of their motives for abductions, such as checking our DNA or engaging in some sort of generic experimentation, there is no need to behave in such an outrageous and perhaps frightening fashion.
An advanced alien race could probably acquire these samples or perform these experiments quietly, without causing physical or psychological pain. So DNA can be gathered from beverage cups and bottles, for example. Indeed, ET would do far better to just hang around dumpsters, and they could acquire a tremendous number of samples for their ongoing research into the local populace.
Hybrids? Well, perhaps they could recruit volunteers, and I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who’d be delighted to become the basis for one-half of a new, advanced race. Indeed, just asking for volunteers to submit genetic samples could also be accomplished without the pain or bother.
Yet scaring the living daylights out of the local populace appears to be normal behavior; that is, of course, if we assume that abductions are precisely as described.
Even then, it would seem the efforts to conceal the abduction, in which the victims — I will not call them subjects — are made to forget the encounters, are not being done in a terribly efficient way. Missing time events are recovered via hypnotic regression. Forgotten abductions sometimes provide hints of their occurrence via so-called “screen” memories involving huge owls with big eyes.
Frankly, I’m not terribly impressed with ET’s technology if they must resort to such silly games to hide their machinations.
Indeed, why are they seen, year after year, to perform the same maneuvers when Earthlings are present? You’d almost think that they are doing it not for reconnaissance but to entertain themselves or engage in some sort of psychological byplay that involves testing our reactions under different scenarios.
It has been suggested that we are being treated as little more than lab rats. So our visitors are just students who journey to primitive planets and manipulate the locals in order to learn how to deal with alien species when they graduate their educational institutions.
It’s not about what the UFOs are doing, therefore, but our reactions to their behavior that’s being observed.
Then again, why must this behavior be repeated year after year? Is it an educational process for the aliens as they observe — or manipulate — our civilization?
Certainly, if the aliens are here to exhort us to live a life of peace with respect to our environment. they are quite feckless. They never seem to engage in public contact with authorities — or cultural figures — who actually can influence human behavior. They never appear to provide any information that we don’t already know.
Sure, their technology, if what we are seeing represents the actual event, appears more advanced. But how much of it is genuine, and how much of it is an illusion presented for our edification, for their entertainment, or because we couldn’t otherwise accept their presence?
More to the point, how do we presume to even understand the behavior and motives of one or more extraterrestrial species? We evaluate logic in ways that we consider logical, and we attempt to put ourselves in their place, imagining how we’d explore another inhabited world populated by more primitive races.
A prime directive? Well, that would appear to involve not interfering with the local populace, right? But the mere act of being seen puts the lie to that.
The long and short is that, the mere act of trying to make logic about the presence of UFOs — if it’s indeed a physical presence — is itself presumptuous.
