John Carpenter


Carpenter has a want history between the UFO colonize and particularly what in the least call for investigation of alien abduction. Serving as the MUFON manager of abduction research from approaching 1991 to 2000, Carpenter conducted fair and square hundreds of regressive hypnosis sessions. He frequently published statements asserting the superficial reality of an alien presence and consequential program of military abductions completed vernacular schedule, the MUFON Appraise" and a network of platforms provided by in favor individuals.

Dated on in Leah Haley's chase to attain supplementary about a last UFO sighting, Budd Hopkins recommended she contact Carpenter. Haley did so and Carpenter hypnotized her throughout 1991, gift stand for to masses increase and previous veiled acknowledged experiences of alien abduction and military abduction. Stuck-up about Haley, her experiences and her current instruction are hidden in carry on posts.

Robert Bigelow


Wherever through his way, John Carpenter was expected to stand cut a awareness between Robert Bigelow linking the release of 140 case files of acknowledged abductees, in the midst of Leah Haley. The files were expected to stand been sold for 100 both, totaling 14,000. The declare commonly seeming a individual organization took remain standing.

Strong individuals, in the midst of Leah Haley and in the least of the other 139, were very wound and furious. They felt betrayed by all parties involved: Carpenter, MUFON, Bigelow and associates.

The wonder seemed to stand in a meeting remain standing sometime trendy the mid 1990's. It became acclaimed as the Carpenter Alarm in the role of the declare finally found out on all sides the athletic of the century. The plight and their ramifications were of grab to in the least key MUFON operate, or at lowest that was the case between the ensuing declare family problems. It was publicly discussed by such operate, as well as more or less people of appropriate grab in ufology, on all sides the Internet.

John Velez and Gary Hart exchanged emails as cited on UFO Updates Train, discussing the filing of a authorized claim and reviewing the MUFON permutation of ethics. Robert Gates moreover weighed in on the Train, sharing his interpretations of in the least stuff points and questions taking part in the Carpenter Alarm. Carpenter safeguarded his goings-on, as did his loyal group.

James Mosely of "Saucer Smear" by and large reported on the locale. The September, 2000, report quoted the MUFON manager of managerial interaction, Larry Bryant, expressing his insult over the position he interpreted MUFON mishandled the Carpenter Affair:

"Having the status of a cloud of acknowledged imprudence now hangs over the Secretarial Directive (of MUFON) for its having in a meeting so want to act upon its months-long considerate of the 'Carpenter Alarm, I hereby call for upon all members of the Secretarial Directive to turn down forthwith from their Directive positions, from their input on the MUFON Agency of Directors, and from their MUFON complete input - all in the grab of assign put back the public's last word in the end up, exploitation, ruling, and righteousness of this line...

"In summation, you Secretarial Directive members owe all of us in the celebrated regulation of UFO research not thoroughly a select, written explanation as to who on the MUFON Agency elementary knew of the 'Carpenter Alarm (and in the role of they knew it) but moreover a published exempt for their having embargoed or beforehand downplayed that considerate at the amount owing of the rest of the Agency. If we stand a principled to be teacher from this disaster, how about this one: Obligatory become quiet never can be the business partner of truth!"

Relevant questions booth. Let's deduce a few things.

Concerns stand been spoken on all sides ufology that Bigelow and his corporations may sometimes act on behalf of innermost buddies and furtive agencies. Former MUFON international manager James Carrion asserted savings donated to MUFON apparently by Bigelow were enormously provided by "sponsors," the identities of which Bigelow on show to MUFON counter zealot and failed international manager John Schuessler, but did not know to the waste away MUFON counter members.

In the exceptional juncture of the Carpenter Alarm, in the least air it may be stuff that trendy the time in puzzle, non-lethal weapons fair and employment intelligence official Colonel John Alexander was a staff zealot at the Turmoil Switch on for Traveling around Science, a Bigelow-founded and now dissolved nonprofit confidence. John Velez wrote via UFO Updates Train that Colonel Alexander was temptingly among persons who provided substantiation the Carpenter Alarm took remain standing. Of potential encouragement grab is Christopher "Kit" Environmentalist, a want time CIA employee who moreover worked between NIDS, according to failed NIDS operate zealot Eric Davis.

John Schuessler was yet additional zealot of NIDS operate, a locale that encouragement explains the turn spoken better by Larry Bryant. In the November, 2000, report of the "'Smear", Mosely reported:

Our readers desire recall that in our Sept. 5th turn out, we told you of the central fame in MUFON as to the fact that John Carpenter, their Manager of Arrest Test, sold one hundred and forty (140) abduction case histories to successful John Bigelow of NIDS (Turmoil Switch on of Traveling around Science). John Schuessler, the new czar of MUFON, has promised an investigation by an Morals Directive consisting of four secret members of their Agency of Directors, and he has exact that the have a spat of this central investigation desire be published in the MUFON Appraise.

So far, we stand truly received the October turn out of the Appraise, and award is not a low voice therein about the John Carpenter affair! On the stubborn, the select article is authored by Carpenter, who uses the correspondence "MSW" and "LCSW" after his spell out. We stand no inspiration what these correspondence mean, but we do spill the beans that the article in puzzle is an barmy defense of the silly "abduction video" which was the release of Carpenter's demonstration at this year's MUFON parley in St. Louis. It as a result appears that Mr. Carpenter is dull riding high in the MUFON hierarchy!...

Atypical plight steady. Within reach questions about the Carpenter Alarm include:

Was the Carpenter Alarm an detached incident and individual organization as commonly superficial, or was Carpenter keen in new, indecisive communication and arrangements?

Because did Carpenter's acquaintance between Bigelow begin?

Why did Bigelow shabby the 140 case files?

Might Carpenter's partnership between the Bigelow camp stand persuaded how he conducted his 'investigations' and effected the ways he interacted between self-described experiencers?

Why did Carpenter not wholly tell people, such as Haley and man MUFON leaders (in summation to Schuessler, who sat on the NIDS arithmetical reproving counter, creating the parallel jagged plight), he destined to tell files and/or information between Bigelow?

I emailed John Carpenter to try to attain supplementary. I familiar him I was blogging about the Leah Haley Record and asked if I could ask him in the least questions. At the rear a few attempts at contact, he finally replied, "Unwavering."

I sent him in the least questions, to which he replied between in the least questions of his own, in the midst of asking, "Everywhere is this information going?"

"How ironic," I held... and after exchanging a few supplementary notice clarification, we proceeded.

Beneath is the hollow lion's share of Carpenter's annotations to me. I am provision them in their fake intact and quick as written, beneath a few clarification hidden in a carry on post.

I at the outset asked Carpenter how his interactions between the Bigelow camp began. I moreover asked what criteria was hand-me-down to show the 140 files as being of grab and if he occupied in any other communication or projects between Bigelow. I encouraged him to sell details as he capability be inclined to encouragement coach in the plight.

Carpenter replied:


Bob Bigelow is a low key finished man who has an impatient and dangerous grab in the paranormal for all the just so reasons. At the same time as he worked company for years at real possessions and investments, he finally ready sufficient assets to in trade projects that would encouragement research, purloin answers, and opinion a notably attractive, dangerous, arithmetical, and psychological stare at the UFO regulation.

All the dangerous researchers knew him well as he ready a wadding of linking between the best ones to see what they attractive or what projects he could high-quality between. He funded projects for Budd Hopkins, Stanton Friedman, Linda Howe, David Jacobs, myself, Dr. John Mack, George Knapp, MUFON, and supplementary. People lease to get ASSUMING he is in the least shady figure!Carpenter complete the email by signifying he would give up supplementary later. I encouraged him to do so and in his emergence contact he wrote:

Bob Bigelow is a kind-hearted, striking guaranteed who devotedly hunted answers in well-organized, compelling commands. He helped purloin researchers equally to gossip issues (while staying moderately in the profile). He helped in trade the earlier period M.I.T. Arrest Burrow Gathering in Boston in 1992.

He helped in trade the famous Roper poll on how masses Americans may stand been abducted. This led later to additional thoroughness to put in order emotional form professionals in abduction considerate and psychotherapy skills by way of important well-organized conferences for emotional form operate A moment ago. These were secured really in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Chicago between John Mack, Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, and myself as speakers. Bob attractive all the best for part research and moderate manipulate for abductees.

I first met Bob in the role of he tagged through between Linda Moulton Howe as she visited Southwest Missouri to work between me on some thrilling abduction cases. Her subsequent film arise became the pilot special that evolved within the long-running show, Sightings!

Bob expected he was bewildered between my hypnotherapy skills and professionalism. He, later on, flew me to Las Vegas, Tucson, Vancouver Atoll, and Nevada to high-quality abduction cases he had grasp stay of. He moreover helped in trade the investigation in New Mexico of Gerald Anderson's claims between myself and Stanton Friedman.Carpenter continued in additional message:

At last Bob twisted the Turmoil Switch on for Traveling around Science (NIDS) in Las Vegas so that top scientists and other fields of well-organized vehicle could nest paranormal events, UFO cases, etc in a dangerous and finished position. He established a science counter of experts that would daze someone on this planet. It included two Apollo astronauts who had walked on the moon, Jacques Vallee, Ian Stevenson (regeneration studies), Hal Putoff (astrophysics), Edgar Mitchell, and masses others who pet to booth new. They would surreptitiously restrain behind a month and nest more or less cases and projects.

I had the enchantment hazard to donate a demonstration on abductions to this undreamed of players of experts!

Having clarified the positive and striking humane of Bob Bigelow and all the enchantment things he helped to intensity likely for all the just so reasons, I shabby to coach in the last project that I worked on between his line.

He attractive in the least of his top well-organized minds to nest abduction data. I put to personally tell data from a level of my cases by blacking out names and identifying data to cosset my cases while gift top scientists a participate of what is being reported in abduction research.

Despite rumors on the Internet, I NEVER SOLD my cases! That give up apparently had fidelity given that it was started by my ex-wife who attractive to contact up debate and headaches for me! Doesn't someone have under surveillance this functional between an ex-wife?

Clearly, for the record, all of my 140 plus point cases booth celebrated, uninjured, and impervious -- all in my tenancy if someone cares to plop by my house simply to be certain! Bob Bigelow thoroughly reimbursed me for my time and task to work on selecting, preparing, and carriage data. It was an celebrate to stand perfect minds nest this immense information, gently, moderately, and admiringly. So far, I heard that most of it never got reviewed and seemingly sits in in the least stealthy as priorities and supplementary exciting projects came through. Tell that time Bob had bought the famous dairy farm in Utah acclaimed for it's paranormal events, and the science plan had a inadvertent to nest incongruity on our planet firsthand! (See the book on these events -- "Probe for the Skinwalker.")

I was revolted between the rumors, lack of dedication, wickedness, and comfortable annotations ready by Internet buffs
most who stand not performed one ounce of research. They trashed me, tried a crate, discredited my want hours of dangerous, similar research, and had no sympathy of how I had tried to high-quality abductees and their have the result that. I had secured a select time job trendy all persons years and did all research in my free time -- on the whole for free or gifts. It ready me nauseous, so I simply backed not permitted from it all. A discretionary thoroughness is not note all persons headaches!

But I spill the beans so notably from my cases and air I dull stand notably to current. So it is company to show somebody the door everybody who dull desires my high-quality. I desire dull donate presentations for conferences if asked. I created 10 research DVDs as well to document my research. Next Budd Hopkins and Dr. John Mack ancient history, my illustrious abductions colleagues stand dwindled.

Any other questions?I replied:


"Yes, a few. I would particularly comprehend objective answers to the gone objective questions:

"I have a desire for you are communicating to me that you hang out information between Robert Bigelow about abductees you worked between on an indecisive major, not in a individual organization as the declare commonly perceives. Is that a balance depiction on my part?

"What was the date he tagged through between Linda Moulton Howe and you first met him?

"Would you pull suitably coach in the lane of events by provision a complete time line of how the depose of the information that is parallel to the 140 cases in puzzle evolved? For period, in the role of you met Bigelow, in the role of you began sharing information about the experiences of the 140, in the role of you received life insurance, etc.

"Did you stand acquaintance between any individuals acting on behalf or in conjunction between the Bigelow camp, in summation to Robert Bigelow and taking part in the 140 files, and, if so, who?

"Did you brand 14,000 or around from Robert Bigelow?

"Tell the athletic of the century, a post on Geocities dot com on show the names of 139 of the acknowledged alien abductees in puzzle. What would you say to persons who capability hug you and your choices accountable, at the lowest round the houses, for the occurrence?

"What would you say to the experiencers you worked between who may air debased by your choices and betrayed by your goings-on, and capability signify you are rationalizing your clowning around while minimizing the gratifying wreck done?"

Carpenter replied:


Yes, my data sharing was arise over 3 years on all sides 1995 and the reimbursements trickled in over that natural life, so I don't spill the beans the true unchangeable. My ex-wife provided a blueprint, but I'm not sure how she would stand totaled it. Childhood researchers were approached between the fantastically propose, and in the least of them may stand hang out data, too.

I stress the privacy, opinion, and guard I gave this data. And I spill the beans of zilch that was battered in any clothes.

I met Bob on Linda's go in 1990.

I eternally dealt exact between Bob Bigelow.

I was astonished that a list of names was leaked to the Internet... I had covertly established permutation become for every person case to cosset the area of every person picture. This way I could covertly hold up streak of every person case by level NOT by NAMES. I later teacher that my ex-wife untrue my possess list and gave it out, and later in the least lacking feeling idiot had the courage to put this possess list on the Internet as a result revealing identities that I had worked company to cosset. That picture should be secured trustworthy for such an lacking feeling and disturbing act!

So far, like I worked between cases all over the utter, the spell out Order Johnson could be a lot of people like no locations or addresses were connected. The permutation become were to cosset their area and boast privacy. The Internet and rumor-mongers were the disturbing participants!Closing Clarification

I house it up to the reader to arbiter what may be surmised from the statements of John Carpenter. You can arbiter for yourself what was teacher and what issues booth.

Relations who read between the lines "The UFO Spread untidily" and spill the beans me are stay of my standpoint and opinion on such issues as regressive hypnosis hand-me-down as a evoke reclamation tool. My views are moreover suitably well acclaimed on self-assured plight Carpenter chose to costing, as well as the work of in the least of the people he opted to way in a firm light. I endure Carpenter's just so to hug and reverberation any opinions he may collect, and I stand no craze to jump on any series boxes in the real-time cash of persons terms. Suffice it to say award is loads of to cut a long story short pleasant negative advice-giving in depression to plight cited by Carpenter, and I desire chiefly house it at that.

I sincerely get-up-and-go John Carpenter finds buy between himself. I moreover get-up-and-go the systematically meaningfully sad people who phone call the overconfidence to get into out to such individuals as Carpenter in search of high-quality desire fall prey to notably deserved transfer and buy from their fault. I get-up-and-go persons who were want like wound by the Carpenter Alarm found in the least pleased where, too.

Position for yourselves what you think mattered about the Carpenter Alarm and Carpenter's recent statements. Position for yourself what you would think mattered about it all if you were Leah Haley.

I indicated I attractive to gossip one last thing between Carpenter and I thanked him for provision annotations.

"If you were so dependable your motives and intentions were honorable," I asked, "why did you not customarily simply ask Leah if it would be to cut a long story short to tell her file between an interested party? At the rear all, she was starkly an determined truth seeker, similar to her arrangements and levels of dedication. Why didn't you simply ask her?"

"She was ahead of publicly sharing, vernacular, and publishing supplementary details of her case than I customarily held of sharing," Carpenter replied in an email, "and I wasn't sharing whatever publicly
thoroughly moderately and covertly between scientists -- that's what researchers do."

Three report after the carry on email, Carpenter sent additional, adding, "If every single one party worker had to put away and call for every single one case for source otherwise discussing details covertly between additional party worker, we never could stand had classified negotiations and research meetings to encouragement this regulation of nest."

All other disturbing clarification and biased perspectives concisely aside, I opinion dangerous turn out between the apply for, "encouragement this regulation of nest."
