This book presents evidence that UFOs are mainly invisible and consist of both physical craft and living, biological creatures. The author convincingly shows that our atmosphere is the home of huge, invisible living organisms that are sometimes confused with spacecraft when they became visible. Mr. Constable has photographed both types of UFOs with special infrared film, some of which are reproduced in this expanded and updated edition. Despite his bold leap into the future, the general public and official ufology have a hard time accepting the evidence. In recent years teams of engineers and technicians in both Italy and Romania, unaware of Constable's earlier discoveries, obtained virtually identical infrared photos of UFOs, which were published in Italy. In 1996, NASA used ultraviolet-sensitive videotape to record swarms of invisible UFOs that looked like Constable's earlier photos. Examples from these photos are also contained in this book. Also covered are earlier pioneers into important life energies that play a big role in this research, including Wilhelm Reich, Rudolf Steiner, and Dr. Ruth B. Drown. This is an important book, recommended for those interested in the higher realms of our physical reality.
This book came to mind last night while I was reading the new monograph on Duchamp's Étant donnés (which is excellent btw). In one of the essays there's a discussion of the Surrealist invasion of Manhattan during WWII. A disillusionment, political & social, had set in and Andre Breton turned to the utopian fantasies of Charles Fourier for alternatives, and developed his own theory of "The Great Invisibles", a species of beings surrounding us but beyond the reach of our 5 senses. I've never looked too much into further details of Breton's theory, but this idea of beings, organic beings, coexisting with us beyond our perceptions is something always in my mind, sometimes way in the back, sometimes spilling out my ears. This longstanding belief of mine is based on personal experience, anecdotal evidence, and pure baseless speculation. And it's this belief of mine that led to my discovering this book.
I saw something very odd when I was a kid - I was standing in our driveway and saw 3 or 4 blue plasma-like discs, perfect 2-dimensional circles, that were pulsing and shrinking and expanding. I mentioned it to a few people and the common response was, "It was a weather balloon.", an idea I couldn't reconcile with what I had seen. At this point in my life I can't say if I saw these circles in a dream or waking life, though deep down I think I saw them while awake. Whatever the case they are permanent ever-shifting fixtures in my mind.
A few years ago I got determined to track down precedents for my experience, and came across this book. While the evidence Mr. Constable presents is not exactly congruent with what I saw, there are definitely parallels. What he discovered, and photographed!, are big amoeba-like shapes up in the sky, invisible to the naked eye but revealed by infrared photography. I'd never say that his evidence is irrefutable, and his almost messianic delusions about the importance of his discoveries (stemming largely from his near worship of Wilhelm Reich) make the book hard to swallow; but what I do like are the connections between his ideas and Surrealism, which brings them down to earth, a strange earth no doubt, but an earth where there's artistic/intellectual freedom to ponder such whacked-out theories.
This book stands alone in the audacity of it's claims, the evidence for them and in their philosophical justifications and historical lineage. There was a lot of stuff in here that I'd never read anywhere before. Here you'll be introduced to Ruth Drown and Wilhelm Reich, 2 people who were, no matter what you think of their ideas, crushed in a very public and scary way by the government and medical industry. Constable takes their ideas and manages to weave them in with occultism and UFOs in a way that's kind of a work of art. He's like John Keel in his ability to unify this stuff. You may find his arguments convincing so "mind" your mind as you read.
This book is a must for people who want to go deep into the UFO mystery, and still, this book is quite an oddity in this lore. It has it all, cryptology, Bioenergy and orgone machine, cloudbusting, Antroposophy, and radionics. The author goes at length to tell his stories about this phenomenon and how he got there, the theories that made him start photographing living UFOs in our atmosphere. The book is not small, it is not easy to read, and it does require a lot of effort to read, even to people who have some familiarity with this sort of study, but the goodies are delivered all the way, he provides a very different and peculiar out take of the situation of the UFOs, and talks at length about W. Reich, and his strange relationship with UFOs in a fascinating way. I do disagree with the author regarding some of his more mystical perceptions which are heavily influenced by Rudolf Steiner, to the point that he seems a bit dogmatic, but still an interesting perception.
An enlightening and eye opening read. Some of the things written in this book have validated some personal experiences. In addition, there are important clues as to the "visual ray" that I've not seen elsewhere.
