A review of "Silent Invasion: The Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot Casebook"
Stan
Gordon is a UFO investigator based in Pennsylvania. This book is a summary of
the bizarre UFO-Bigfoot wave of 1973-74, when many people in this particular
U.S. state saw UFOs land and spew out Bigfoot-like creatures and other tall
humanoids on a semi-regular basis. The monstrous creatures were immune to rifle
fire, disappeared at will and occasionally wore clothes. They smelled, too. The
Bigfoot footprints were inconsistent, some only having three toes (sic).
The most sensational encounter - partially witnessed by Gordon himself - took place at a farm outside Uniontown, Fayette County. A UFO with two hairy creatures landed and drove the farmer (Steve) almost to hysteria. He started to run amuck and scream like a Bigfoot! Later, Steve got paranormal powers, including precognition. Gordon claims that Steve was visited by mysterious government agents who had him hypnotized, presumably to remember more details about the incident. The author claims that phone tapping, missing files and harassment of witnesses by person or persons unknown were common occurrences during the UFO wave, suggesting a secret government interest in the events.
Sceptics won't like this one, trust me. Personally, I found it interesting on a phenomenological level. Similar events have been reported in other parts of the United States, as well. Since 1973-74 was long before the age of general Internet access, and since farmers in Pennsylvania aren't likely to read fringe publications, I suspect that *something* "objective" is going on. But what?
That, of course, is the 10,000 dollar question.
