Death by gunshot to the head. Death by probable poisoning. Death by probable strangulation. Deaths possibly by implantation of deadly viruses. No one lives forever.
Yet the recent suspicious deaths of UFO investigators Phil Schneider, Ron Johnson, Con Routine, Ann Livingston and Karln Turner, as well as the deaths of a host of researchers in the past, only seem to add emphasis to a reality with which many of the more aware UFOlogists are now quite familiar: not only is UFO research potentially dangerous, but the life span of the average serious investigator falls far short of the national average.
Mysterious and suspicious deaths among UFO investigators arc nothing new. In 1971, the well-known author and researcher Otto Binder wrote an article for Saga magazine's Special UFO Report titled "Liquidation of the UFO Investigators:'
Binder
had researched the deaths of "no less than 137 flying saucer
researchers, writers, scientists, and witnesses' who had died in the
previous 10 years, "many under the most mysterious circumstances."
The
selected cases Binder offered were loaded with a plethora of alleged
heart attacks, suspicious cancers and what appears to be outright
examples of murder.
We will have occasion to refer to many of these cases, but first let us take a look at more recent evidence of highly suspect deaths among present day researchers.
Who or what is killing UFO investigators now and in the past? Probably some of the deaths presented here-that look at first glance so suspicious---are in fact natural or accidental or self-inflicted because of stress or mental imbalances.
But, as Otto Binder noted more than 25 years ago, there are so many. Pure common sense, and good logic, should lead us to believe that the high incidence of premature death in a field which has a limited number of investigators is very disproportionate compared to the population at large.
Spider Web of Causes
What we may have IS a
concatenation, a spider web, of interweaving threads which are causal
and often, in fact, deadly. One thread is the activities of the US (and
other) intelligence agencies. Another thread is possible ET involvement.
A third thread is the involvement of certain PSI-tech think tanks and private PSI/PK practitioners, including negative occultists.
A possible fourth thread is highly reactionary religious cults which feel they are carrying out the will of God.
It is more than likely that one or more or all of the above agencies are responsible in whole or in part for many of the deaths from the recent past, which have already been mentioned and many of those remaining cases from the present to the more distant past, some of which we will now explore.
Mae Brussell
Not long ago, Mae Brussell, a gutsy, no-holds-barred, investigative radio host died of a fast-acting cancer just like Ann Livingston and Karla Turner. Brussell was acutely interested in UFOlogy.
Deke Slayton
Deke Slayton, the astronaut, was purportedly ready to talk about his UFO experiences, but cancer also intervened.
Brian Lynch
Brian Lynch, young psychic and contactee, died in 1985, purportedly of a drug overdose.
According to Lynch's sister, Geraldine, Brian was approached approximately a year before his death by an intelligence operative working for an Austin, Texas, PSI-tech company. Geraldine said they told Brian they were experimenting on psychic warfare techniques.
After his death, a note in his personal effects was found with the words "Five million from Pentagon for Project Scanate."
Don Elkin
In the '80s Eastern Airlines pilot Captain Don Elkin committed suicide. He had been investigating the UFO coverup for over 10 years and, at the time, was deep into the study of the Ra material with Maria Rucker.
There are reports of negative psychological interferences having developed during this latter investigation.
