In the
October 16th, 2003 Edition of Whitley's Journal Whitley Strieber draws some very startling conclusions about the reality of the Visitor (a.k.a. CE4, Close Encounter, Contact, or UFO Abduction) phenomenon. He cites evidence both of his own experiences, and of those of others. He concludes from this that the phenomenon is very real, physical, and (at least in part) non-benevolent. In my view he builds an excellent argument for that reality.
Subsequently, he goes on to talk about the coverup. He discusses what he thinks the motives are behind it. What would prompt a government (indeed, most governments of the world) to clamp a lid on something that could be a true breakthrough in science? The possible conclusions he presents are for the most part, quite chilling.
The coverup motives he postulates are for the most part, not malevolent in themselves. However they are very much based upon fear. One class possible motives is that in 1947, those in the inner-circle of world governments (whatever that means) were warned - sharing knowledge of the Visitors will result in the destruction (deliberate or otherwise) - of your world.
Another class of possible coverup motives involves fear of the results of general exposure to the ultra-high technology of the Visitors. It is the fear that we will end up going the way of all lower-tech civilizations which are exposed to the higher technological advancement of the outside world - catastrope, collapse, colonization, and eventual absorption.
So, just what is the coverup covering up? Is there an inner circle that has the answers? Or do they just have more data? Are they, perhaps, just as confused about the true nature of the phenomenon as everybody else? My belief is that at least to some degree, the answer to this last question is "yes". Many researchers have built a good case that there is alot of excellent data, physical evidence and perhaps, even living entities in possession of those in power. But that does not mean that they understand the phenomenon. Indeed, the dynamics of the coverup as described in the UFO literature, suggest that they don't.
While Whitley claims that the phenomenon is real and physical, he does not claim that it is understood. And this is critical. At it's core, the phenomenon is ambiguous - a hall of mirrors. There is one loose end after another. One of the most prominent of these - at least according to what experiencers tell me - is the overlay of the physical and metaphysical.
More than one experiencer has described to me, while in deep hypnotic trance, how they were physically taken from their room, and into a nearby UFO. Yet in quite a few cases, at some point a metaphysical event occurrs. More than one person has described being met by a spirit guide. Others have described one or more events relating to previous lifetimes - in once case, as an E.T. And the list goes on - a continuum of spiritual/metaphysical events associated with nuts-and-bolts UFO encounters.
Another event is the reality anomaly. This has been written about extensively in the UFO literature, but will be summarized here in the words of Jenny Randles, as "The Oz Factor". During the time period immediately surrounding a close encounter, surroundings often seem to take a surreal character. The experiencer finds him/her-self on roads that apparently don't actually exist(?), or in places that seem to be non-physical in nature.
Other smaller anomalies abound. One such example is where one experiencer described to me looking through a window which was openned outward. On investigation we noted that the window does not open - it was framed glass, with no mechanism.
These are just some examples of how the phenomenon can manipulate reality to suit it's own ends. This is the reality-paradox behind the phenomenon - and there is so much more (Please feel free to check out my own site for more on this).
So what is the cover-up covering up? My bet is that they are covering up a very expensive, and highly organized research effort, which has had little more result than those of us in the civilian sector. They have a lot more data, but few if any answers. However they have assumed the self-appointed responsibility to protect their respective nations from all (potential) enemies. This implies control of the skies, etc. And if there is one thing that the phenomenon has demonstrated it is that the air forces of the Earth do not have that control - UFO's are able to zip around at will.
So in the end, the core of the coverup does not seem to necessarily be due to malevolence, but rather of fear. It is fear of the inability to protect it's citizenery, fear from lack of knowledge, and more generally fear of the consequences of acknowledging the reality of - well, of whetever the UFO/CE4 phenomenon really is. It is truly a cover up of the ambiguous.
