Operation Trojan Horse, by John Keel

\" You A re Endangering the Balance of the Universe! \" / 1 9 1 governments. It is time that we got wise to this simple psychological trick. They've been pulling it on us for centuries. Cap we really blame the contactees? Suppose a strange metallic disk covered with flashing colored lights settled in your backyard and a tall man in a one-piece silver space suit got out. Suppose he looked unlike any man you had ever seen before, and when you asked him where he was from, he replied, \"I am from Venus. \" Would you argue with him? Chances are you would accept his word for it. And if you decided to tell the world the news, you would naturally proclaim that the mystery had been solved. The flying saucers were from Venus. You were certain because this very sincere stranger had told you so . Buried within the context of all the contactees' messages there are clues to an even more complex threat. A direct threat to us. Each contactee has been able to pass on a small fragment of the real truth. The endless descriptions of peaceful far-off worlds and shining cities of glass are only subterfuges. Before I can extend this further, I must present you with some of the other evidence. You must be aware of all the pieces in the puzzle before they can fall into place and make sense. Already you can understand why so many people have been in total confusion for so long . This whole mystery has been designed to keep us confused and skeptical. Somebody somewhere is having a good laugh at our expense.

Twelve The Cosmic Jokers Demonology is not just another crackpot-ology. It is the ancient and scholarly study of the monsters and demons who have seemingly coex­ isted with man throughout history . Thousands of books have been written on the subject, many of them authored by educated clergymen, scientists and scholars, and uncounted numbers of well-documented demonic events are readily available to every researcher. The manifestations and occur­ rences described in this imposing literature are similar, if not entirely identical, to the UFO phenomenon itself. Victims of demonomania (possession) suffer the very same medical and emotional symptoms as the UFO contactees . Demonomania is so common that it has spawned the minor medical and psychiatric study of demonopathy . Throughout most of history, the manifestations of demonology and demonopathy have been viewed from a religious perspective and ex­ plained as the work of the Devil. The bizarre manipulations and ill effects described in the demonological literature are usually regarded as the result of a great unseen conflict between God and the Devil . In UFO lore, the same conflict has been observed, and the believers have explained it as a space war between the \"Guardians\" (good guys from outer space) , who are protecting our planet, and some evil extraterrestrial race . The mani­ festations are the same , only the frame of reference is different. The Devil and his demons can, according to the literature, manifest themselves in almost any form and can physically imitate anything from angels to horrifying monsters with glowing eyes. Strange objects and entities materialize and dematerialize in these stories, just as the UFOs and their splendid occupants appear and disappear, walk through walls, and perform other supernatural feats. Did ancient man misinterpret UFO manifestations by placing them in a religious context? Apparently not. The literature indicates that the phenomenon carefully cultivated the religious frame of reference in early
