Whether it’s the amateur investigators (some of whom are with accredited organisations), self proclaimed hypnotists or the usual suspects associated with the UFO circus, we all have to start asking why that would be. I’m using the phrase “UFO enthusiasts” from now on. Allen Hynek was a UFO researcher, Jacques Vallee one might call a ufologist… most of the people you see around are hobbyist enthusiasts.

Much appr...Thanks for your gallant defense, Jeremy. Much appreciated!<br /><br />I'd like to add to your comments that Chip, who knows me not one whit, also seems to have no idea what the dynamic is like inside a marriage. Even when the two people go back and forth between themselves about what is being done, or what should be done about some issue at hand, there is generally an attempt to keep those differences contained to the space shared by the two married people. To present a loyal, unified stance to the public. After all, isn't that one good reason why people marry - so that there's always somebody in your corner? <br /><br />I was wholeheartedly in Budd's corner during our marriage, until what I was seeing before me caused cracks in my support.<br /><br />Chip makes both an intrusive and violating assumption. He implies that he knows what I did or did not _privately_ address with Budd, inside the confines of our home. Long before our split, long before Emma came along, I was speaking up repeatedly _to Budd_ about Budd's credulousness (to address just one issue) which was leading him into publicly parading around on radio shows with hoaxers. I also spoke up - to my husband and privately - about the ethics of having a single hypnosis session with someone, allegedly showing him that he'd been abducted by aliens, a deeply disturbing concept, and then Budd never, ever following up with the person. Never returning calls to over a dozen phone messages left by the traumatized man.<br /><br />So please, Chip, you utter stranger, do not tell me what I failed to perceive while "sitting by Budd's side." Very telling little phrase you've used, by the way.

I don't know your background/history, I don't know why you've involved yourself in this field of research/writing. My sense is you don't believe in the abduction phenomenon. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have believed in the abduction phenomenon myself, that is until the year 2004, when my life and that of my family's was turned upside down and sideways. We've never been the same since that unforgettable evening. <br /><br />I can't change what's been happening to us any more than I can change my height and the color of my eyes. I would be lying if I said these things hadn't happened to us.<br /><br />Perhaps more than a few skeptics/debunkers have experienced abductions themselves and rather than dealing with these events in a forthright manner, have chosen instead to disbelieve, with the hope that this disbelief/denial will somehow eliminate any or all of the residual chaos which inevitably ensues. <br /><br />Fear is generally what guides most of us here on this planet. Fear of the unknown, fear of something we don't entirely understand; fear drives us and imbues us with our own self-defense mechanisms when we can't push through out of that conditioned box we've all been inside re: so much of our lives. <br /><br />I know what it's like to experience the sort of fear that keeps you up at night; I know what it's like to have PTSD as a kid at the age of ten. I know what it's like to have to watch your own child suffer with his own fear when you've just picked him up and he's trying to figure out why he can't remember what happened to him at the park when it was daylight outside and that's the last thing he remembered. <br /><br />I know. Yes, it's hard to push through that fear. It's a primal instinct - self preservation if you will - to want to deny that which we don't feel we can really handle. But that's part of the challenge, I think, to push through that fear and confront head on with something we're not comfortable with. <br /><br />The incessant bickering and ego based agendas with this issue saddens me. There are so many individuals out there that are experiencing anomalous experiences, but yet they feel they have nowhere to turn for help. I've tried dabbling into this field myself, for some much needed guidance, only to quickly learn it's perhaps much safer and more secure for me, to try to learn to live with this on my own. <br /><br />So I would say to say debunkers out there - you 'may' end up having something like this happen to you, so be prepared. And when/if you do, welcome to the club. It's not exactly a fun club to belong to, but you'll learn more than you ever thought you would.

I...Thank you for addressing my concerns/questions. I wondered if the 'redaction' of Yvonne Smith's name from the article itself was simply because you didn't have enough information at that time in determining precisely what Yvonne's role in all of that may have been, but I would ask why you simply couldn't have stated as such within the article itself. <br /><br />I cannot begin to tell you how mortified I am to have found Yvonne Smith's name included within that letter from Carpenter to Bigelow. But hindsight being what it is, I can't say as though completely surprised to have discovered this. Immediately after reading about Yvonne's involvement, I contacted her and asked that she redact all my information from her files. That was it for me. I didn't trust most of these researchers to begin with. Finding this out, simply solidified my concerns.<br /><br />From my perspective, I will say this: These abduction events ARE REAL. They are as real as the keyboard I'm now using to type these very words. These events are frightening. Anyone who has ever experienced an abduction, knows what I'm talking about. To watch your own child have to go through something like this, is absolutely mortifying. I had to pick our own son up from an event in 2007. He went missing for over two hours when he should have been home. He is a very responsible/obedient kid. I'd asked him to call me when he got to the park after school and to come home before it got dark outside. He always complied...always. But not this night. Scared the absolute hell out of me when I couldn't reach him on his cell phone. When he finally called me, I was furious with him. But then when he told me where he was and what he was staring up at the sky at that time, I remembered IMMEDIATELY what had happened to ME as a kid. My heart was in my mouth when I drove the two minutes it took me to pick him up.<br /><br />I will never, ever forget that evening. My heart is in my nostrils whenever I remember that night. And we've had plenty of other events of this type happen to us as well. <br /><br />So folks in the field of ufology and those that choose to debunk it or what have you - please pull it together and use your hearts, your logic, your discernment and HELP those that truly could use the help. Quit the petty sniping with one another, quit using those podiums for your own ego trips and try to figure out what's going on. I don't have all the answers...no one does. But I do get completely disgusted when I read about all the sloppiness and ego trips that infiltrate this field. I really saddens me that I will never be able to trust anyone in this field. I know there are others out there that feel the same way I do.Bayareamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373194614339698775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-55856385766356541912015-01-02T23:09:41.194-05:002015-01-02T23:09:41.194-05:00Hello, and thanks for your interest in the posts. ...Hello, and thanks for your interest in the posts. I hope the following will help with your question and concerns, as well as bring some other readers up to speed who may not understand the circumstances as well as you.<br /><br />In the post, 'The Carpenter Affair: For the Record', a number of documents were included that were obtained from sources such as Gary Hart and Leah Haley. Hart was a principle investigator of the Carpenter Affair when it first came to public awareness, and the docs obtained from him were included in the formal complaints he filed with MUFON and the State of Missouri. Haley was one of Carpenter's hypnosis subjects, and docs obtained from her were also included in Hart's formal complaint.<br /><br />In one of the docs provided by Hart, Carpenter thanks Bigelow for payment and suggests that he and Yvonne Smith would conduct future work for Bigelow. You asked, I interpret, why I did not emphasize Smith's relationship with Carpenter and Bigelow more than I chose to do.<br /><br />The answer to that would be because I do not know the specifics of what Smith allegedly agreed to do, and it apparently occurred after Carpenter was already transferring abductee-data to Bigelow. I make intentional efforts to present info accurately and in proper contexts, so I try to avoid adding speculation to what are too often already muddled circumstances in which the parties seem to attempt to conceal what has been taking place. I do not know the specific nature of what these people were doing. As a matter of fact, we don't really know why Bigelow ever bankrolled any of it in the first place.<br /><br />I am of the personal opinion that a great deal more research is justified into the activities of many of those representing themselves as investigators of alleged alien abduction. If we have learned nothing else, we have learned that the circumstances are often misrepresented, and obfuscation seems to be standard operations.<br /><br />I hope that helps answer your question. Basically, I try to effectively separate facts from speculation, and I try to cite sources and quote people accurately so readers may draw their own conclusions. Thanks again for your interest.

In that article, you have inserted within the content of same, a letter written by John Carpenter to Robert Bigelow. <br /><br />I was appalled when I read that letter, because I found that Yvonne Smith, as well, was also collaborating at that time with Robert Bigelow. But yet, Yvonne's name was not included within the content of your article re: John Carpenter. <br /><br />Why is this, may I ask? <br /><br />I ask this for a couple of reasons. One, I've found when speaking to a few others about the Carpenter affair, that they weren't aware that Yvonne Smith had been collaborating with Robert Bigelow (along with her buddy, John Carpenter). When I pointed this out to a couple of these individuals, they were rather appalled. <br /><br />I have to say I was shocked when I read that letter, because in the not too distant past, I had been speaking to Yvonne about my own case. She knew of my hesitations in sharing ANY of my private material with anyone in her field. I don't trust many people, including those in the field of ufology, but she assured me she was a lone wolf in her field of research and that she was not in any way involved with MUFON or any other 'group' of researchers.<br /><br />But there was her name in that letter. Granted, a letter written back in 1996, but just the same, she clearly was involved with Bigelow/Carpenter at the time and chose, rather sadly, to not disclose this fact to me when I first started speaking with her.<br /><br />Needless to say, I'm no longer in touch with Yvonne. It saddens me that experiencers don't really know who to trust in this particular field of research. I read that 'someone' in ufology stated that "everyone is doing it,' i.e., meaning experiencers' stories, audio tapes, etc., are all on the chopping block ready for sale. That sickens me to my core. <br /><br />There are 'some' experiencers who have ties to various agencies and REALLY have to be careful re: what they share with some of these researchers. Given the rather sloppy work I've seen displayed in this field, it's no wonder many of us have to suffer in abject silence and try to deal with our issues on our own because we cannot trust anyone in this field, for whatever the reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-45434231872384635202015-01-02T21:27:27.346-05:002015-01-02T21:27:27.346-05:00I listened to the interview of Peter Robbins' ...I listened to the interview of Peter Robbins' on Jimmy Church's radio show. The article above comports completely as to what was said on the show. I, too, had similar questions when listening to Robbins 'defend' (in a manner of speaking) Jacobs' reasoning behind handing the Warren tape over to Halt for Halt's review. <br /><br />My sense is that Peter Robbins is an honest/ethical researcher, but I also sense he may be somewhat naive when it comes to his defense of both Hopkins and Jacobs. Quite honestly, I have never met either Jacobs or Hopkins (although I spoke with Hopkins very, very briefly in a phone conversation back in 2007). What research I've done on both these gentleman leads me to suspect their work may have not been as ethical or methodical as it's been believed. <br /><br />I wondered, when listening to Robbins' defense of Jacobs, why on earth Jacobs didn't just CALL Warren and ASK him if it was okay to transfer a copy of the Warren tape to Halt. Why is it that Robbins feels the need to defend Jacobs' behavior in this respect? Can't Jacobs speak for himself? Or has he spoken on the record about this Warren/Halt tape manner and I've just missed that...<br /><br />At any rate, I feel the article above does indeed ask a few very good questions and makes quite a few good points in summary. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-67472601005407534712015-01-02T01:29:24.247-05:002015-01-02T01:29:24.247-05:00Jeremy, excellent points.

She DID step up and highlight these issues while he was alive. In fact, she handed him her Paratopia Magazine article to read before we ever published it. In fact, he had a chance to comment on it and he did. And for that she was attacked by the lazy hero worshippers for doing this to poor Budd because he was dying.<br /><br />But you illustrate the fact that she can't possibly win because if she had waited until he passed away, the valueless troll squad would have attacked her for that. Carol has stated time and again that hearing the Emma Woods story was the whole reason for the timing and that she wanted Budd to have a chance to defend himself. She did what was fair by him. <br /><br />Would it have been nice if she'd felt motivated to say something earlier? Sure. For us. But what does she get? If she's still married to Budd she loses her husband, her friends, she gets crapped on and ostracized. If she's divorced, she gets called the bitter ex wife, loses her friends, gets crapped on and ostracized--pretty much what happened. It was only in seeing Emma be victimized by David and, to an extent, Budd, that she felt it was worth facing those challenges. <br /><br />If anyone doesn't respect that, then they aren't being honest with themselves as to what they might do and when. It's easy to be the hero in your head. When the situation arises in real life, let's not pretend you're automatically that hero, everything else be damned. But then that's the difference between a Carol Rainey and a Chip Plescher: one hasn't done anything brave to help advance ufology or, you know, basic human decency. The other is Carol.<br /><br />Jeremy Vaenihttp://www.jayvay.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-67664897592038759552015-01-01T21:20:51.306-05:002015-01-01T21:20:51.306-05:00Problem #1 is referring to these men as researcher...Problem #1 is referring to these men as researchers. What they are is friends with a shared, somewhat profitable, hobby. There are no research protocols or ethics. Ufology is not a discipline. They, I am sure, are as taken aback that you bothered to look at this and write about it. Out of all of them David Jacobs knows about protocols and ethics for taking oral histories, yet his abuse and mockery of the system are well-documented. Anyone here think he would try to get away with this as a historical researcher? Anyone here who doesn't suspect he had a completely different set of standards when submitting work for peer review and/or as a Temple University professor?<br /><br />So why didn't he bring those strict ethics into his abduction "research"? Simple. He didn't have to. It wasn't research. It was socializing and book writing. It was fame and martyrdom. Whatever other gratifications it was, it was not research.<br /><br />Now go down the list of names. An actor. An artist. A whatever. No science. No standards.

He has a history of utter disregard for protecting his own subjects’ privacy. I have him on tape telling me information about other subjects that identified them, including their real names, professions, and so on. I know he has also betrayed my confidentiality.<br /><br />Both Larry Warren and Peter Robbins are naive if they think it was just a “misunderstanding” on Jacobs’ behalf. For their sake, I hope they wake up and get with the play on that score. Jacobs has no regard for subject confidentiality (or welfare) when it suits him. <br /><br />Contrary to what Larry Warren may have been led to believe, no amount of betrayal of subjects’ safety and confidence has been a “career-ender” for Jacobs. He has gotten away with behavior like that scot-free for decades, for a number of reasons.<br /><br />Dr. Jacobs is not an “honorable” and “honest man”. I would invite Larry Warren to go through my website, listen to the recordings of Jacobs on there, and then compare them to the statements that Jacobs has made. He might then understand just how dishonest Dr. Jacobs can be when it suits him.<br /><br />I know from personal experience just how open and vulnerable one is under hypnosis. The tapes are extraordinarily personal, not just to the subjects concerned, but also to their families, and to anyone else mentioned on the tapes.<br /><br />Perhaps if Peter Robbins thinks seriously about the amount of subject confidentiality betrayal Jacobs has almost certainly done in his presence, including about myself, perhaps that, together with Jacobs’ release of Larry Warren’s hypnosis tapes, might make him to start to see things differently.<br /><br />If any of Hopkins’ hypnosis subjects are reading this, I would advise them to take whatever steps they can to ensure that Jacobs does not betray their privacy. He is not a safe guardian of sensitive material.<br /><br />Jacobs’ statement that Hopkins was “an absolutely conscientious protector of people's identities and testimony,” is a lie. Jacobs himself told me that that Hopkins did not take care of his subjects correspondence and files properly, and that they were stacked in piles around the place. He said that this included material relating to public figures who would not want their identities known. I think I have Jacobs on tape telling me this, and if I find it, I will put it on my website.<br /><br />Later I came to understand that Jacobs was just as bad. He announced to me one day that he sent the tapes of my hypnosis sessions to another subject of his, Elizabeth Smith, to transcribe, but that she had not transcribed them. He had not asked my permission, and did not make attempt to get them back from her when she did not transcribe them. I had to repeatedly ask him to get them back from her.<br /><br />After I ended my association with Jacobs, I was contacted by another subject of Jacobs, Brian Reed, who also had tapes of my hypnosis session that Jacobs had given him, without my knowledge, to transcribe. Jacobs just left them with him as well. God knows who else has my extremely personal and private hypnosis tapes.<br /><br />The UFO field needs to seriously wake up and start to address the issue of research subject confidentiality. The whole issue of John Carpenter, and perhaps others, selling hypnosis tapes, Jacobs making a mockery of human subject protection and confidentiality, and Hopkins’ lack of care for his subjects’ letters and files, among other things, is just not good enough.<br />Emma Woodshttp://ufoalienabductee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-85304152706471915262014-12-31T01:52:12.532-05:002014-12-31T01:52:12.532-05:00Excellent and Jack, you are one of the few people ...Excellent and Jack, you are one of the few people bringing these issues to the attention of UFO Land.
