Alien abduction researcher remembered in Vanity Fair

May 14th, 2013 |

Author: Seraphin

Vanity Fair’s website has posted a long piece on the work of famous Harvard psychiatrist and alien abduction researcher, John Mack. Typically mainstream media is very tongue in cheek about these topics, but the Vanity Fair article is very respectful, and chronicles Mack’s impressive history.

John Mack was a prestigious psychologist at Harvard Medical School. He also won a Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for his biography on Lawrence of Arabia. It is surprising that such a scholarly figure would take the idea of alien abductions seriously. However, upon meeting with prominent expressionist abstract painter, Budd Hopkins, who had been researching alien abductions, Mack was intrigued.

Vanity Fair chronicles how Mack began meeting with alien abductees and, in his professional opinion, found them to be honest. He says he observed the trauma they suffered from their mysterious experiences, even though he was unsure of exactly what took place and how.

Mack went on to do lectures and wrote a couple of books on the topic. However, his controversial work did not go unnoticed by Harvard. They questioned his methods, causing Mack to obtain a lawyer to help him fight to keep his job. He eventually won his case and was allowed not only to continue, but to also share his opinions in any way he saw fit.

An exciting revelation in the Vanity Fair article is that there is a movie in the works on Mack’s life story. According to Vanity Fair, “After a four-year negotiation, the film and television rights to Mack’s story were granted by the Mack family to MakeMagic Productions, which has partnered with Robert Redford’s Wildwood Enterprises, and a major feature film is currently in development.”

The passing of a great Russian researcher – Vladimir Rubtsov

May 6th, 2013 |

Author: Seraphin

It is with immense sadness I learnt today of the passing of Russian scientist Vladimir Rubtsov at the age of 64 after an illness. We corresponded on quite a number of occasions over many years. To his family and friends my sincere condolences. We have lost a great researcher and a real gentleman.

I had the pleasure to read his excellent Tunguska book and when he asked me if I would review it I did so without hesitation. A great book by a great researcher.

http://www.forteantimes.com/reviews/books/2695/the_tunguska_mystery.html

He will be missed. I have reproduced below my review:

“The Tunguska Mystery”

Something extraordinary happened over the Tunguska forest in central Siberia on June 30 1908. Much has been published about what may have happened. In terms of accessible books outside of Russia there is limited material. 1977 saw the publication of 3 books – “The Fire Came By” by John Baxter and Thomas Atkins, “The Tungus Event” by Rupert Furneax, and “Tunguska – Cauldron of Hell” by Jack Stonely. More recently (2005) Surendra Verma’s “The Tunguska Fireball” explored the mystery of the massive explosion, providing a good overview of the mystery but concludes that the jury is still out.

With 2009 we have the publication of Vladimir Rubtsov excellent book “The Tunguska Mystery” aided by the editing efforts of Edward Ashpole (author of the admirable “The UFO Phenomena” (1995)). Dr. Rubtsov a Russian scientist received his Ph.D degree from the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Moscow, Russia) with his 1980 doctoral thesis “Philosophical and Methodological Aspects of the Problem of Extraterrestrial Civilizations” the first of its kind in the former USSR. Dr. Rubtsov also had published in 1991 “UFOs and Modern Science” (with Y. V. Platov, through “Nauka” (“Science”, the publishing house of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow) as an introduction to the UFO problem for the Soviet scientific community. He advised me, “We hoped (UFOs and Modern Science) would be just the first work in a series and therefore did not try to cover in the book all aspects of the UFO problem. Alas, immediately after it was published, the Soviet Union disintegrated and all hopes for serious work in this direction have dissolved too. Now science in Russia and Ukraine is trying to survive, rather than to develop. Nevertheless, I think that one day in the future the situation may change. Individual interest to the UFO phenomenon among our scientists still remains considerable.”

Dr. Rubtsov researched the Tunguska mystery for 35 years and his Tunguska book’s strength lies in this dedication and persistence. Unlike the western books that preceded it “The Tunguska Mystery” uniquely presents the vast amount of research done in Russia on the subject over the last 100 years. It is extensively anchored in Russian research much of it unseen by western researchers. Richly documented and illustrated it represents an exceptional presentation of the facts and controversy uncovered by Russian researchers. Dr. Rubtsov also addresses significant western efforts on the subject, such as the blast magnitude computation modelling from Sandia National Lab scientists Drs. Boslough and Crawford. These argued for a lower magnitude event than previously accepted, but Rubtsov highlights that such arguments are of limited value until they properly consider the topography of the Tunguska site. The Sandia scientists plan to try to undertake this work.

Dr. Rubtsov makes a critical point arguing, “the members of the Tunguska research community in Russia, Ukraine, and other CIS countries, although far from uniform in their viewpoints on the phenomenon … do have a grasp of the real contents of this problem, whereas their Western colleagues are as a rule dealing with its simplified and perhaps distorted pictures. Too many well-established facts have been forgotten, too much information is ignored, lots of important publications remain unknown in the West – partly because of the language barrier. Besides, scientific overspecialization, so typical in this day and age, hampers the interdisciplinary perception of the Tunguska phenomenon. At best, the researcher knows that there is in Siberia an area of levelled forest, having at the same time no idea of other Tunguska traces – both larger (the light burn and the geomagnetic storm) and smaller (from genetic mutations to the paleomagnetic anomaly) or of other “details” of this event.” (Rubtsov, page 302)

Despite the consensus of mainstream western science that the Tunguska event has been explained as due to a meteorite, asteroid or similar natural space object, Dr. Rubtsov has richly argued with compelling data that such certainty is not justified. Instead he asks, “Why has such a rich set of empirical information not yet been transformed into an accurate and rational theoretical scheme explaining this phenomenon? … Logic, discipline of reasoning, ability to match theoretical considerations with factual material – all these are important in the next stage of scientific investigation, the stage of testing the proposed ideas.” (Rubtsov, page 303) I found it fascinating and very informative to follow Dr. Rubtsov’s consideration of even exotic explanations such as “artificial” objects, even extraterrestrial ones. Even though like the mainstream “explanations” he argues they cannot yet be considered as “final solutions.” The critical process elaborated in this book is the development of “the multidisciplinary model of the Tunguska phenomenon.” The necessity of correctly determining the true answer that fits that model is critical. Indeed it is a matter of survival. Another Tunguska style event would be potentially devastating if it occurred over a populated area.

Vladimir Rubtsov has provided a potent distillation of the facts, particularly the vast body of Russian data gathered over the last century, much of which is poorly understood by the West. This alone makes the book a very worthwhile contribution to our comprehension of the extraordinary Tunguska event of 1908. I enjoyed this book very much, but I’m sure given the passion and extent of the Tunguska debate so far, the debate and controversy will continue. The type of focus called for by Dr. Rubtsov and proper consideration of the issues and detail described in his book will help steer us closer to that much sort after but so far elusive “final solution” of the Tunguska enigma.

Nuclear physicist and longtime UFO researcher Stanton Friedman was recently a guest on Podcast UFO, a weekly show hosted by Martin Willis exploring the UFO phenomenon.

During the interview, Friedman candidly stated, “I just want to make sure everybody realizes there really aren’t any unidentified flying objects . . . It’s a great story, it’s exciting, but it’s fiction.”

This bombshell statement by Friedman was, of course, an April Fool’s Day gag.
