This Week's Episode: Gene and special guest cohost Tim Swartz present Dr. Irena Scott, author of Beyond Pascagoula The Rest of the Amazing Story, published by Flying Disk Press. During this episode, Dr. Scott will explore many of the lesser-known and still unknown nooks and crannies of the October 11, 1973 abduction case, yet another abduction plus sightings seen in and around the vicinity around the time of the original event. Her background includes the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which employed her in Ph.D. level (GS-11) research in satellite photography including in its Air Order of Battle section, which involved aircraft identification with Above Top-Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances. She was employed in MS level work as a Physical Scientist/Cartographer in the DMA Aerospace Center using satellite photography, and the Battelle Memorial Institute. She has been sent for work-related purposes to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
After The Paracast — Available exclusively for Paracast+ subscribers on October 10: UFO author Dr. Irena Scott returns to discuss her 2017 book, “UFOs TODAY — 70 Years of Lies, Misinformation, and Government Cover-Up,” focusing on the 1947 Maury Island UFO incident. The controversial case included the attempt by Kenneth Arnold, the witness to the classic June 24, 1947 sighting of nine unknown objects, to investigate a report about metallic debris recovered in the wake of a UFO sighting near Tacoma, WA. His report, as published in a 1952 book, “The Coming of the Saucers,” read like a possible spy caper involving government agents and wiretaps. Dr. Scott also briefly describes her personal paranormal experiences. Her publications include books, and works in peer-reviewed scientific journals, magazines, and newspapers. Her photography has been shown on television and in magazines, books, and newspapers.

The Pentagon UAP — What?
By Gene Steinberg
The first or preliminary report from the Pentagon UAP Task Force, released last June, was both encouraging and infuriating. While it didn’t outright debunk the reality of the phenomenon, there was no outright admission that they must be extraterrestrial.
But it’s not as if that should have been expected. If that sort of announcement were to be made, it would come in a major presentation by someone in charge, not buried in a short, poorly-written report. No doubt the report was released to do the minimum to fulfill the legal requirements set by Congress and nothing more.
While there was some forlorn hope that disclosure was afoot, clearly that is not happening. An expected update to the report is not at hand so far, and it’s not that Congress is going to demand it. They are too busy managing the political crises of the hour.
Indeed, there is so much for real journalists to cover, any strong hint of an ET solution to the presence of UFOs would probably fall mostly below the radar. Or it would generate some coverage for a few days, and soon be buried so long as the concept remained abstract. I mean, it’s not as if we expect the flying saucers to land on the White House lawn, which has been the wet dream of many UFO followers for decades.
Even if it is true, that we are being visited by beings from other worlds, there’s no reason for something to suddenly change with greater acceptance of the concept by the governments of Earth. If ET really wants we Earthlings to know what they’re up to, they wouldn’t contact rock singers or people driving in the desert. They’d know full well how to make their presence known.
Even if their concepts of morality are not what we’d accept — or even understand — any race smart enough to traverse the stars and planets to reach us would surely be capable of understanding human behavior. They’d know how to manage the situation.
That’s why I am so skeptical of the claims that we have recovered crashed spaceships and that they are being examined at secret bases around the world. If ET didn’t want us to know their secrets, they’d know how to recover such wreckage and deal with terrestrial authorities.
Yes, even if Roswell is all it’s cracked up to be, it doesn’t mean we still possess evidence of alien technology, or ever possessed such evidence. I can easily imagine ET engaging in some alien versions osf spin control to hide their presence and get ahold of the evidence of their existence. Just imagine scenes of the MIB in one of those movies firing their neutralizers to wipe out eyewitness memories or create fake ones.
In any case, today’s Pentagon UAP Task Force clearly wants to pretend there were no sightings before the Naval ones beginning in 2004. Nothing about sightings by millions of civilians around the world dating back to just after World War II — and perhaps before.
From a practical standpoint, I grant that it’s far easier to investigate more recent sightings, as memories of the events are more accurate, and evidence easier to examine.
Then again, if there is a ton of evidence retrieved by the military over the decades, it’s clearly easy to ignore, at least publicly. That doesn’t mean the Task Force wouldn’t take a look at the situation behind the scenes, though it may well be that the quality of the information isn’t terribly high.
Consider that even Project Blue Book appeared to operate mostly as a public relations operation, providing sufficient staff to tally sightings, but few resources to really investigate more than a few high-profile cases.
The prevailing wisdom is that a “Silence Group” has worked for decades under high security levels to examine the matter and manage public information. Scattered instances of disinformation may indicate concerted efforts to conceal the truth. Or perhaps a few rogue agents — such as Richard Doty perhaps? — exploited the situation for their own benefit without much of a long-range plan.
In other words, the quality of the UFO files may be poor, a scattered mess without much of an effort to understand what was going on. It may be that it was easier to ignore the problem rather than cope with its implications. This is especially true if the phenomenon appears to present no serious or immediate threat to national security.
Well there are those cases of possible interference at nuclear installations, power plants and so forth. But it may be easier to regard them as scattered hardware or software failures rather than deliberate efforts from an advanced alien civilization to exert its control.
So even if the events described in Robert Hastings’ book, “UFOs & Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites,” were substantially accurate, the people-in-charge did their level best to ignore the implications.
Besides, what are the implications?
Why would ET want to stage such exercises, or is it all due to the natural consequence of their spaceships coming in close proximity to nuclear installations? If that’s the case, there is no deliberate plan to disrupt our defense installations and power grid. It just happens from time to time, and the authorities are just dealing with it.
Or perhaps they haven’t made the effort to connect the dots. A privately-published book from a private citizen — a UFO buff no doubt? — isn’t going to force government action. There are lots of self-published works out there, and it’s not as if it ever became a best seller.
If the media took interest, maybe the situation would be different. Even then, the key cases might still be dismissed as localized failures of some sort, no harm done. The authorities can assure us that all is well and that corrective measures were taken.
Now I suppose there could be an updated report from the Task Force that would provide more direct admissions of what’s going on, perhaps a wider range of cases to explore.
But I remain skeptical. Again, the ball is in the court of the phenomenon, and, absent some long-term gradual disclosure plan, I’m not expecting any significant changes in the situation anytime soon. And, as I’ve often said, I don’t expect to be around to see a solution.
