Robbie Graham on UFOs and Hollywood

Mack White and I recently interviewed author Matthew Alford about his book Reel Power: Hollywood Cinema and American Supremacy (Pluto Press, 2010 / www.plutobooks.com) for our PsiOp Radio show.

Of course we had originally become aware of his writings in articles he co-wrote with his friend Robbie Graham:

• Robbie Graham and Matthew Alford, “A History of Government Management of UFO Perceptions Through Film and Television”, 49th Parallel, Spring 2011.
• Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham, “Hollywood Hit Men”, Fortean Times, August, 2010.
• Robbie Graham and Matthew Alford, “The Lies Are Out There” – Fortean Times, / July 2009
• Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham, “The Deep Politics of Hollywood” – Global Research, February 2009
• Robbie Graham and Matthew Alford, “The Power Behind the Screen”, New Statesman, January 29th, 2009.
• Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham, “Body of Lies: The CIA’s involvement with US film-making” – The Guardian, Nov 14, 2008
• Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham, “An Offer They Couldn’t Refuse”, Guardian, November 14, 2008.
• Matthew Alford and Robbie Graham, “Lights, Camera… Covert Action” – The Guardian, Nov 14, 2008

• “Spielberg’s Saucer Secrets”, Filmfax: The Magazine of Unusual Film and Television, July 2010 – Robbie Graham and Matthew Alford

Well, besides their upcoming peer-reviewed article (“A History of Government Management of UFO Perceptions Through Film and Television”, 49th Parallel) Robbie has been getting published in online UFO community journals and has his own blog, and – wouldn’t you know it – he’s good friends with Nick Redfern (whose UFOmystic blog post is what reminded me that I needed to promote Robbie’s latest work).

Nick says:

I first met Robbie Graham in the late-1990s, when we both used to attend the regular, monthly meetings of England’s now sadly-defunct Staffordshire UFO Group. Since then, Robbie has become a significant player on the UFO scene, having penned a number of thoughtful articles on the subject.

Robbie has a particular interest in the relationship between the UFO mystery and the world of Hollywood – about which you can find much more at his blog, Silver Screen Saucers. And, he has a new post, titled UFOs and Hollywood: Blurring the Line Between Fact and Fantasy, which you may find intriguing…

And here’s where you can find more about The Robster himself.

WWII UFO Incidents with Keith Chester

WWII UFO Incidents Part 1.

Monday December 29th, 2008

UFOs in WWII
First hour guest, author Keith Chester (book link) talked about UFO cases in WWII, such as the ‘Foo Fighters,’ fast moving glowing objects, which at the time US troops thought were operated by the Germans. The late researcher Leonard Stringfield believed the Foo Fighters were of ET origin, said Chester, who added that triangular craft, similar to what are seen today, were also observed during the War.

Mysterious Lights Over East El Paso

Mysterious Lights Over East El Paso
By Ben Swann – Main Anchor
Friday, October 15, 2010 – 10:26pm

Above the skies of Northeast and East El Paso, Friday night a sight that was a little more than stunning.

Video, captured by one of our photographers shows one solitary light that appears to be falling in the sky. That light suddenly breaks apart and into three separate lights.

Those lights then seem to freeze in the air and just hover.
Eventually a fourth light can be seen and the lights appear to be hovering around each other. Then they all disappear.

We are told that Airsho pilots were performing manuevers Friday night and the lights were likely part of that.

NBC’s “The Event”:
A UFO Researcher’s Perspective

by Richard M. Dolan
September 18, 2010

NBC’s “The Event” Probably Isn’t “The Event”

As of this writing, NBC’s new series, The Event, has not aired, although there certainly is a great buzz about the show among people interested in UFOs.

Even though the four minute trailer doesn’t explicitly mention UFOs or aliens, it’s not hard to imagine that, somehow, these themes are important to the series. The President learns of a deeply secret CIA operation dealing with “others” of some sort who are held in a secure base in Alaska. “So this is true,” he says, “this is all true.” He is brought to their location and meets their “leader.” He is going to hold a major press conference, but there is an attempt on his life. What is happening, according toThe Event’s Wikipedia entry, is “the biggest cover-up in U.S. history; a coverup which shapes the very core of mankind as a whole.”

Makes you wonder, for sure.

Other bloggers, such as Larry Lowe, have discussed their knowledge that The Event is UFO/ET related. I’ve also been quietly told by another researcher that this is indeed the case.

I learned about this show sometime during the summer. At that time, I talked about it with Bryce Zabel, my intrepid co-author of the upcoming A.D., After Disclosure: The People’s Guide to Life After Contact. Bryce and I had spent the spring and summer writing about what the world really will look like following the Disclosure of the UFO/ET reality here on planet Earth. So you can see why we would be especially interested in following this “event” for a major broadcasting network, especially since our own book is complete and due for release in late October.

With the release of a major television show based, it would seem, on something to do with a significant Earth-changing “event,” I can only reflect on what I think will be the real Earth-changing event.

That will be the Disclosure — whether by an American President or some other major public figure — of the reality of a non-human intelligence interacting with humanity. An intelligence that is connected to the UFO phenomenon, and that is, fundamentally, “not us.” They are “Others.”

UFO Beam of Light

This does not mean they are extraterrestrial, though of course they might be. Perhaps, too, these Others inhabit some other dimension of reality. Or maybe they are humans from another place or time. Or maybe something entirely different, or some combination of possibilities. Dealing with them, trying to understand them, was one of the key issues of our book, but by no means the only one.

As far as I can tell, what we have done is unique. Bryce and I have tried to peer into the future, into a world in which the UFO reality is fully and openly acknowledged. A future in which we recognize that at least some UFOs have been the product of an advanced intelligence not from our civilization.

Ask yourself: how would the open acknowledgment of such a truth affect our world? How would it affect you personally?

For most of this last decade, I have been lecturing on the challenges and opportunities presented by a true disclosure of the reality of UFOs. The topic fascinates me. But what I discovered is that it is a lot easier to talk about why UFO secrecy ought to end, than it is to glimpse the murky future of a post-disclosure world.

But here is what I think will happen. There will be a day when the truth — the big, big truth — does come out. Today is not yesterday, and tomorrow surely will not be today. By that I simply mean that our world is changing too fast. We cannot possibly expect that in the coming years we will perceive and understand reality as we do today.

Think about the radical nature of some of our newest shared technology. Such products as pervasive as smart-phones and YouTube have only been with us for about five years. Do we really think time will just stand still, in a 2010 holding pattern for the remainder of our lives? What new technologies and new capabilities will exist in 2015? Or 2025? Or 2050?

Is it possible that, at some point between now and then, we achieve a critical mass in what we know and how we know it? One that forces “The Powers That Be” into acknowledging the obvious? Yes, I think it certainly is possible. I would say it is likely.

What will that “Event” be? That real event, not the one made for television?

Hunting Camera Captures UFO in Texas

Hunting Camera Captures UFO in Texas — August 25, 2010 NBC.

Fort Worth, Texas (NBC) — A motion-activated camera at a Fort Worth family’s favorite hunting spot is capturing shots of mysterious objects.

Lisa Brock-Piekarski’s game camera is supposed to take pictures of the deer on her Archer City hunting lease, but the pictures show something she can’t explain.

“What I see looks almost like a Frisbee,” she said. “You see several lights going around, and they’re all symmetrical and lit up, and it just looks like an object in the sky.”

Brock-Piekarski’s is hesitant to call the string of lights in the sky UFOs, although she can’t identify the flying objects.

“We’ve seen falling stars, all kinds of stuff out there because you’re away form the city,” she said. “Anytime there’s a meteor shower or anything, you can see it a lot better, but I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Brock-Piekarski said the pictures were taken by a single motion-activated game camera.

The equipment wasn’t moved, and it doesn’t have a flash.

Instead, it uses infrared.

She said she has ruled out light posts or cell phone towers because the area is pretty empty.

“There’s nothing back there but trees and sky,” she said. “There’s no hills, no buildings, nothing back there. It’s all flat.”

Timestamps on several pictures also show that the object hovered in the air for almost two hours.

Whatever it is, she is now a little hesitant to go out to her deer blind alone.

“It’s creepy,” Brock-Piekarski said. “I don’t know if I want to be sitting out in my deer stand by myself anymore, hunting.”

Archer City, which is just south of Wichita Falls, is also close to Sheppard Air Force Base.

The installation did not immediately return requests asking if it had planes up the night the pictures were taken.
