Haunted States of America: Utah

The Utah UFO Display: A Biologist's Report (1974) by Frank B. Salisbury, with data from the files of Joseph Junior Hicks, foreword by J. Allen Hynek

You may notice this is not a book about ghosts. Unfortunately, we do not have any books about ghost stories in Utah, so instead we bring to you a book about UFOs. Dr. Salisbury from Utah State University evaluates reports about unidentified flying objects and possible alien sightings in the Uintah Basin in northeast Utah.

We have hundreds of books about UFOs, so we are sharing some of our bibliographies and encyclopedias on the subject:

The UFO Literature: A Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography of Works in English (1985) by Richard Michael Rasmussen

UFOs and the Extraterrestrial Contact Movement: A Bibliography (1986) by George M. Eberhart

UFO: The Definitive Guide to Unidentified Flying Objects and Related Phenomena (1994) by David Ritchie

The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.

The Diamond Peak "Mystery" Photo

On November 22, 1966, an anonymous biochemist was driving on the scenic Willamette Pass and pulled over to take a picture of the spectacular view. When the film was developed, he was startled to find an extra detail that he hadn't noticed. Against the backdrop of forested mountains near Diamond Peak was what appeared to be a flying saucer!

It seemed to be rising from beyond the road's edge. The object was clearly trailing a vertical column of vapor and appeared to be "stacked on top of itself" in triplicate. The photo was submitted to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), under those auspices it was analyzed. Famed ufologist Dr. J. Allen Hynek and photo Adrian Vance declared it authentic. According to their calculations, the saucer was about three hundred feet away from the observer and measured twenty-two feet across. They speculated that the "stacking" effect was an indication of advanced "quantum propulsion" technology. That is, the craft was quickly "phasing in and out" of our reality. This may explain why the photographer hadn't noticed the saucer while taking the picture; according to Hynek and Vance, it might have been rendered invisible to the naked eye.

That's one explanation for what was captured on film, anyway.

The other, proposed in 1981 by biotechnologist Dr. Irwin Wieder, is far more mundane. He disregarded the contention that the photographer pulled over, declaring that it was just a drive-by photo of a road sign. Because of the parallax effect-visual perspective while in motion-closer objects to the passing camera, it appeared as a horizonal blur. The sign post is thus distorted into a "vapor trail," while stacking effect was caused by the blurring light-and-dark contrasts on the sign, which probably read DIAMOND PEAK. Meanwhile, the background is less blurred because of its distance. In the picture, there is no middle ground between the blurry foreground and slightly sharper background, which further enhances the illusion.

A similar picture from Belgium was proven to be exactly this, and the effect has been easily reproduced elsewhere. According, NICAP seems to have accepted the explanation, since the incident doesn't currently appear on their UFO chronology (www.nicap.org/chrono.html).

The "unexplained" issue here may not be the image on the photograph, but rather the reason Hynek and Vance were so convinced of its authenticity. It seems they overlooked the parallax effect.

The Fourth Kind (2009)

Dir.Olatunde Osunsanmi

In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. Modern-day, Alaska, where-mysteriously since the 1960s-a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.

*Officially, the movie is a “pseudocumentary” which is a fancy way of saying the “based on a true story” aspect is total farce. The script and the film are entirely fictional. There was no low key alien invasion of Nome, Alaska. Dr. Abigail Tyler does not exist.

HOWEVER.

There is no shortage of real life creepy info that mirrors the fictional events portrayed in The Fourth Kind.

Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind

The title of The Fourth Kind comes from a system of classifying encounters with extraterrestrial life made by astronomer, professor, and ufologist J. Allen Hynek who was a scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force’s UFO studies such as Project Sign, Project Grudge and Project Blue Book from 1947-1969.

Unveiling the Mysterious Chronicles of Project Blue Book

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around, for we're about to dive into the enigmatic waters of Project Blue Book – a tale that dances on the edge of reality and the uncanny. Step into the world of secrets and shadows, my friends. 🛸🕵️‍♂️

Imagine a world where the skies held secrets, and the unknown whispered in the wind. This, my dear travelers of the bizarre, was the realm of Project Blue Book – a series of investigations by the U.S. Air Force into the realm of unidentified flying objects. 🌌

🛸 The Essence: Born in the wake of the Cold War, Project Blue Book sought to decode the cryptic language of the skies. UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena – all gathered under the watchful eye of government agents, as they sought the truth that eluded them like a fleeting dream.

🔍 The Quest for Truth: With Dr. J. Allen Hynek at the helm, a skeptic turned seeker, Project Blue Book analyzed and dissected the unexplainable. From ordinary folks to seasoned pilots, each tale woven a tapestry of mystery that defied conventional explanation.

📜 The Pages of Intrigue: The files of Project Blue Book read like chapters in a story untold. Sightings that defied reason, encounters that tugged at the fabric of reality, and a quest for answers that transcended the ordinary.

🛸 The Web of Speculation: Over time, this project became a breeding ground for speculation and intrigue. Whispers of government cover-ups, hidden truths, and the lingering question – what if, just what if, we weren't alone in this vast cosmic theater?

🌐 The Legacy Lingers: Project Blue Book may have concluded, but its legacy endures. In the labyrinth of the unknown, it reminds us that sometimes, the answers lie in the spaces between what we know and what we dare to imagine.

🔮 The Final Thought: As we peer into the archives of Project Blue Book, let us remember that in the tapestry of human curiosity, there are threads of mystery that remain untangled. Let us embrace the unknown, for it is in that dance between the known and the enigmatic that true wonder resides.

So, my fellow seekers of the extraordinary, let's raise our glasses to Project Blue Book – a chapter in history that reminds us to look up at the stars and wonder, "What if?"

Project Blue book ended in 1966 with a bland "nothing to see here folks, move along" final assessment. Basically, the USAF said that they looked into these things and couldn't find proof they were anything other than hoaxes, swamp gas, weather balloons, the planet Venus, or any number of other silly explanations.

Just one problem with that: respected astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was also the scientific advisor to the USAF on Blue Book, disagreed. He went on to form several civilian UFO research groups, some of which are still active today.

Hynek was also chief advisor to Steven Spielberg for the filming of Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977. Many of the vignettes in that film are based on Blue Book anecdotes.

Also!

There was a short lived TV series, Project UFO, based on Project Blue Book that aired from 1977-78. Every episode followed two earnest Air Force officers investigating civilian sightings in every kind of context, from housewives to airline pilots to little kids. Every episode featured three real stories from the Blue Book files.

Of course, Project UFO (and by extension, Blue Book) was mostly about debunking the phenomenon. And indeed, the TV series always offered mundane explanations for the first two sightings BUT the third one? Always a puzzler. Our two heroes would shrug and say "well that one's going into the book as unsolved!" and that was that.

It was a reliable formula. I'd watch each episode, waiting for the third UFO story, thinking I was on the verge of Learning Something Wonderful.

The 1970s were a crazy time for UFOlogy. It was pre-Internet so information travelled much slower and you had to work harder at finding out things. But now we have instant access to everything, including the lies & coverups.

And now a new cycle has started in the 2020s with the UAP flap. Geez, they even came up with a new acronym to gain distance from "UFO" I mean hoaxes I mean swamp gas.

The main justification given about WHY there's a coverup is always, "humanity would riot and revolt if it was revealed advanced aliens were visiting us" and honestly? I think it's safe now. Everybody is so tired. We don't give a shit.

Please, just let us see the aliens. It's time.

Project Blue Book was a long-running investigation by the US into UFO sightings. What did it uncover, and what did it conclude about these close encounters?
