John A. Keel WHY UFOS

and they can eventually suffer total deterioration ofpersonality. I had to find this out the hard way, only todiscover later that Dr. Meade Layne had worked it all outin the early 1950's, but nobody would listen to him.Dr. Layne tried to express his ideas in occultterminology. He called the ultraterrestrials the Etheriansand thought in terms of "ultrasonics" as well as electromagneticfrequencies. In 1955, he published a concise(andtime has proven it valid) appraisal of the situation in whichhe stated: "It is possible that some persons may be lessaffected by supersonic frequencies than others; this mayaccount for the selection of certain persons by theEtherians. It is also possible that some such persons arenow showing signs of amnesia and other physical andmental deterioration."If Dr. Layne was aware of these factors fifteen yearsago, then it is almost criminal that no suitable psychiatricprogram has been instituted to study and understand thisphenomenon. Thousands, perhaps millions, of people allover this planet are being directly affected. My mail is filledwith cries for help. I have watched helplessly as witnessesfell into hopeless personality deterioration and went insaneor even committed suicide. For some time now I have beenworking closely with a small group of psychiatrists, but ourefforts can be compared only to the proverbial drop in thebucket. The whole UFO subject has been so widelyridiculed and denounced that most qualified men arereluctant to enter into it.Not all ultraterrestrial contacts are evil and disastrous,of course. But there are many people throughout the worldwho are deeply involved in all this without realizing it.They have entangled themselves through other frames ofreference and, in many cases, have been savagely exploitedby the ultraterrestrials in the games being played. Thesegames have been thoroughly documented and defined inthe literature of the various frames of reference. Thepsychology of the elementals or ultraterrestrials is wellknown and fully described in the fairy lore of northernEurope and the ancient legends of Greece, Rome, andIndia. In fact, we know almost everything there is to knowaboutthe entities and their games. Unfortunately, most ofthe valuable information has been buried in the beliefs ofthe various frames of reference and clouded by obscureterminology. It will take teams of accomplished andobjective scholars to wade through all the literature and
