Author Description

A MASSIVE BAMBOOZLE TO HIDE THE “ANSWER” TO FLYING SAUCERS AND MOTHMAN... In the late 1960s, when he was subject to nonstop surveillance and harassment from both human and supernatural “spooks,” intrepid Fortean investigator John A. Keel made extensive field notes concerning phenomena he was confronting in West Virginia and New York: UFOs, Men in Black, creature entities, ultraterrestrials, and odd coincidences and synchronicities. In these reports, Keel unravels threads later discussed in his classic books “Operation Trojan Horse,” “The Mothman Prophecies,” and “The Eighth Tower.” Utilizing occult lore, scientific research, and direct personal investigation, Keel draws back the curtain on the mind-blowing nature of our terrestrial reality. By looking deeply into specific cases, Keel begins to sense that there are different types of UFOs, surmising that the “aliens” and Men in Black may emanate from a breakaway civilization bent on controlling the human race. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Keel was the focus of a massive “bamboozle” designed to keep the “answer” to Mothman and the UFOs a secret. “The Big Bamboozle” is the final book in Keel’s “Big” trilogy, along with “The Big Breakthrough” and “The Big Blackout.” It features confidential, previously unreleased material from Keel’s personal files, as well as interesting correspondence between Keel and other notables in ufology, such as Ray Palmer, Kenneth Arnold, Fred Crisman, Brad Steiger, and Gray Barker. “The first to realize all shapeshifting tricksters emanate from the same source...” -David Thornberry “Reveals a sophisticated yet unidentifiable system for fooling the public...” -Bill Kousoulas, PhD “Now we understand why Keel was always being called away from Point Pleasant...” -High Times
