Childhood's End: 'The Phenomenon' - Herald Tribune

In reviewing James Fox' impending UFO documentary The Phenomenon Billy Cox stresses the human costs of 70 years "of denial and obfuscation" on the subject. Cox notes how "Fox puts an urgent human face on the current momentum towards transparency." Some of this is reflected in Matt Neal's 'Holy Grail' or Epic Hoax? Australian Kelly Cahill's UFO Abduction Story Still Stirs Passions among the witnesses and those who researched the 1993 case. Neal focusses upon the human element with a straightforward treatment in a mainstream media source, reflecting the currently changed atmosphere towards discussing even the most personal types of ufological experiences. Then there's The Bizarre UFO Encounter of Tad Jones. A 1966 American single-witness sighting that spawned subsequent threats and other weirdness, as Brent Swancer relates. Lastly, just after multiple sightings in Argentina, The Night Aliens Threatened to Invade Neuquen featured a 1973 "War of the Worlds" "April Fools-type" prank inciting a crowd of people to rush to meet the fictional invaders. Luis Burgos says the "desperate run to the highest point in town" included "A mixture of fear, but also intrigue and fascination" among those who by car, motorcycle, and even bicycle made that frustrated attempt To Know. Back to Billy Cox, who regarding the overall "current momentum towards transparency" -- and knowledge-- concludes "the consequences of being shielded from the view are self-evident. And time is running out." (WM)
