    As if Magonia and the Mothman weren't weird enough, in the second part of this two-part exploration of the Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis, Hine and Buckley discuss the connections between the phenomena and ritual magic by way of Allen Greenfield's secret cipher, Aleister Crowley's book of the Law and Jack Parson and L. Ron Hubbard's Babalon Working, which may or may not have opened and left open a gateway to another world... Recorded 21 July 2022.

  • VYS0004 | The Uncanny Vallée and the Unreal Keel - The Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis Pt.1

    jacques vallee, john keel, passport to magonia, the mothman prophecies, the ultraterrestrial hypothesis

    What if UFO sightings and alien encounters aren't visitations by creatures from another planet but an experience of entities which surround us all the time but usually remain outside the perception of our five senses? What if the greys and flying saucers are a manifestation of a phenomena known in days gone by names such as fairies, elementals and angles? This is the Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis. In the first part of this two-part study Hine and Buckley explore these ideas by trying to wrap their heads around the work of Jacques Vallée and John Keel. Recorded 21 July 2022.
