Ted Phillips - MUFON-LA (2 of 2)

Ted Phillips is the Director of The Center for Physical Trace Research (CPTR). The Special Investigations Unit of the CPTR investigates active UFO sites. The team posts investigative logs along with images and video obtained during site visits in the field. The teams primary purpose is to insert itself into an area of developing activity while the site is still fresh. The SIU has five highly qualified researchers and has the only dive team in the U.S. geared toward the investigation of USOs and similar anomalies.

Our speaker, Ted Phillips, is an engineer, as well as a professional photographer and musician. He participated in the Vanguard Satellite Tracking Program and was a field engineer on the Minuteman Missile Project. He began investigating UFO reports in 1964 and was a research associate of Dr. J. Allen Hyneks from 1968 until Dr. Hyneks death in 1986. It was at Allen Hyneks suggestion that he began specializing in physical trace research of UFO sightings forty years ago. Phillips has personally investigated hundreds of UFO cases and his files contain 3,189 physical landing traces from 91 countries.

Phillips participated in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Aerospace Sciences meetings, along with Dr. Hynek, Jacque Vallee and Dr. David Saunders. He was a member of a select team invited to meet with the United Nations secretary-General at the U.N., along with Dr. Hynek, Dr. Vallee and astronaut Gordon Cooper. Phillips gave two presentations at the First International UFO Congress. Ted made a presentation at the first MUFON Symposium and at several others, including the 2006 Symposium. He has appeared on national television in numerous documentaries including In Search Of, NBC News White Papers, CBS News Special reports and the documentary movie, UFOs Are Real. Most recently, he was featured in Alien Encounters, a documentary on the History Channel.

Phillips current research projects include active UFO sites in the central U.S. and a major project in the Tatra Mountains of Slovakia. He will be briefing us on his latest research and some of his most fascinating previous cases.

All Vallee does is look for patterns in the data. However, with that being said, I believe most of the phenomenon is psycho/social (something that Karl Jung believed as well).

Vallee is outside the norm with his fairy beliefs.

" When the underlying archetypes are extracted," he wrote, "the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries … religious miracles… and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day ufonauts." (Jacques Vallee) Yes, faeries, angels, demons, the gods and goddesses of all the ancient religions, the pantheon of mythological beings...

'We're not guessing that the flying saucer created the traces, we know because it was seen creating them by the witnesses,' says Philip. These traces are exactly as they should be if the craft was real. The indentations are located exactly where you would expect them to be created. Yet the craft is NOT real - not in the way surrounding objects like stones and trees are real. They are like phantoms - perceived, often by multiple witnesses, yet they escaping detection on film.

@raggedmoorlander Yes - "aliens"/"fairies"/"sylphs"/"a­ngels"/"djinn" .... All one in the same. Keel and Vallee picked up on this many years ago. But where do they originate from?

[DefenceSpeech]

20 minutes and no evidence other than a couple of blurry photos of worn out soil. I hope Ted Philips has a better case to present than the garbage he's shown here.

[raggedmoorlander]

The Domenica del Corriere, shown above, was an Italian weekly periodical that ran until 1989. This issue shown came out 14 November 1954. So the case is very old. Although this is being presented as a UFO case, it would not be out of place in the files of 'faerie encounters'. In fact, you could say that the only thing ufological about this case is that it is being investigated by ufologists. Vallee drew attention to the striking parallels between UFO and faerie lore in Passport to Magonia.
