    here's an article about the release of the rather new compilation
    of john keel magazine articles, letters and newly uncovered bits,
    'searching for the string.'

    I'd love to excerpt some of the most revelatory bits,
    but there are no references online, yet
    and I just can't bring my self to transcribe from the book.

    the forward is an obscure gray barker article that
    showcases a conversation he had with keel,
    when john privately revealed his theory,
    well before it was formalized anywhere.

    these are the writings, research revelations and correspondence that led to his meme shaking books.

    before I run to family and general glutteny,
    here is a back and forward with doug skinner,
    keel's friend and owner of the john keel website:

    read the real reason why keel's contracted article for playboy was rejected:

    doug,
    by any chance is john’s first foray into ufology, that playboy article, available?
    I’d love to read it.

    thanks very much for this site and your dedication.

    jimmer


    John did keep a draft of the article, although I don’t know if it was the final draft.
    It’s too long to post here; in fact, it was too long for “Playboy.”
    It’s just a summary of all the familiar UFO cases up to that time, with little of John’s personality or interpretation.
    It was before he started doing primary research.

    I had posted some of the correspondence between John and “Playboy,” showing how the article grew to unmanageable size,
    and the editors’ final rejection of it.
    A lot of that got wiped when this site was hacked a while ago.
    I may have to repost it.

    John’s first foray into ufology was actually a radio script he wrote for the American Forces Network in 1952;
    fortunately, both a script and recording have survived.


    yes, doug, please repost whatever you can leading to and any excerpt of that now famous,
    never published article that led JAK to the field and eventually his ‘theory.’

    I understand this would be a lot of work, but could you
    find a way or someone to digitize that AFR recording,
    post it to youtube and post that link here?
    that would be a big hit.
    thanks again for your response and keeping this all alive
    and accessible to we new comers to keelian.

    I'll keep you up-to-date if and when that interview comes available.

    recently there has been some interest in the keel theory,
    so I thought I'd link a post from the thread, We are the Experiencers.

    it lays out the basis for the theory and welcomes all to read, The Eighth Tower.
    in hindsight, I'd recommend first reading his first book-form presentation
    of his ultraterrestrial theory in, Operation Trojan Horse.

    reading the first couple of sentences of the pdf -- yes, the same book.
    somewhere along the line the title must have been changed.
    funny, but they're both the same.

    to help avoid eyestrain, perhaps your local library can come up with a hardcopy for you, lookbeyond.

    while 'the eighth tower' takes his theory to new levels (the final chapter, part III is mind blowing),
    you could begin with operation trojan horse, in which, after 4 years of research, keel first revealed 'the theory.'
    it's a hellva read.

    much like anything, immortality is how we are remembered.
    in keel's case, his time has come again.

    when I first plopped down at TOT, the ufo field was fascinating, but not much more.
    there wasn't anything to hold on to.
    every sighting, every craft, every high-strangeness case was interesting, but nothing would come of this show.
    none of it would come together or offer any bigger picture.

    there must be a reason for this all, but what is it really?
    that should be the question, not when ET will finally save us.
    they never will.
    we should work on saving ourselves or at least coming to grips with it,
    so we can make peace and move on to bigger things (like saving ourselves).

    of course, I could be off a bit. still working on it.
