Richard Dolan

[SlipNet]

I just found this follow up interview that Dolan conducted with the gnomic "Mr X" from the previous deep dive interview. I haven't heard this one, but will give it a listen in my usual insomniac late night style. I can't vouch for the content, but the 5 hr one was excellent, and it was interesting to note that neither Mr X nor Dolan think that these SAP's alien recovery projects are necessarily "slow and ponderous" affairs. Both of them agree that this was a bone tossed out to Admiral Wilson to stymie his enquiries. It's impossible as an outside observer to know for sure, but knowing what classic liars are like, it is a plausible take. This one is only a 2 hr interview, so enjoy if your interest has been piqued by the 2 I've posted above.

I am almost done getting through his book, UFO for the 21st Century Mind, the expanded version.

I started not enjoying the book that much, for one it reminded me of UFO and the National Security State a bit much, kind of a series of events chronologically arranged without much input form the author. But then, past the half of the book, he begins to speculate on disclosure and provides his own analysis, which is appreciated, even if a bit optimistic in my opinion, a bit naive at times.

The book itself is a decent compendium of cases, currents of thought the UFO community, some drama from several organizations, downfalls, and because of how precise he likes to be in some of his descriptions, he provides a lot of very punctual details and dates, organizations involved and things as such.

I'd say it's a great entry point for anyone interested in the subject, who has close to zero idea on the topic, if you're decently well versed on it, you might find it a bit repetitive at times, and since his goal is to try to cover as much ground as possible, he tends to remain at a rather superficial level in most events and concepts he covers.

Thanks for the synopsis. For those who make the assertion that UAPs/UFOs / high strangeness is nothing but government-run psyops (Ehret) or 'demons' for that matter, it's good to know this would be an entry level book for those at least somewhat interested in the subject before making their assertions. So maybe this book, some of Keele's books and Missing 411 might be the basics for anyone who is hand-waving the topic away but still open for learning more. After these would it be Laura's High strangest next? I'm just thinking that there are more people going to be wondering about these phenomena and what would be the basic entry level books into this topic?

Hmmm good questions, I believe it may depend on what peaks the interest of people. Perhaps Missing 411 would be a great follow up, but then Keel so good at explaining the phenomena and such a classic.

I think Jacques Vallee’s book Passport To Magonia is also a good entry-level book - by a scientist looking at the data with an scientific and open mind.

There are also many articles about this phenomenon by John Keel at Sott.net and this can be a good start.

The invisible hand of the Cosmic Trickster: High strangeness and the paranormal nature of the UFO phenomenon

We seem to be surrounded by an almost invisible world that can manipulate us in any way. ~ John Keel On Sunday, October 30th, 1938, millions of radio listeners in the USA were shocked to the core by a radio announcement about a Martian attack on...

Yes to both, and it is Laura's work through the C's that provides/develops a glimpse (a hard one at that for the brain) of 4d hyper-dimensional space/travel/interaction, which is what so many never factor.

So, for peeps just catching their breath on the subjects, it is a good idea to keep 4d HD space in mind. Of course, there were/are other writers and researchers who explore it, such as Keel/Paulides (the later does not or at first did not say it), and Skin Walker Ranch et cetera, i.e., over a vast body of phenomena. In one way, if seen like this, it all seems rather inseparable.

That's probably one of the most valuable aspects of Laura's work, that perhaps a lot of researchers miss or can't jump into. it's one of Dolan's work's characteristics I found, when he speculates, he tends to remain on the purely technological aspect.

Another thing I find invaluable of Laura's work, is that it parts from an entirely different premise than everyone else. Everyone else tries to explain the phenomena from the narrative of "Alien's stumbled upon earthlings already evolved/evolving and developing civilization" most of them, will go as far as saying "and they helped us out, keep tabs on us, and are afraid of our rapid development". None of them ever wonder if an incredibly advanced civilization capable of space traveling would be inclined to seed a world, which would explain everything else that is so elusive about the topic, specially the eternal question of "if they're so powerful, why won't they reveal themselves?"

Dolan is very 3d STS centric without really realising it. And he's got no excuse. He's met Laura, and I think it was said by Laura that Dolan couldn't handle the worldview that she was laying down for him. He wrote the foreword to my 2nd edition copy of High Strangeness fer chrissakes! He MUST know more than he is willing to reveal or even admit. He waits until he's got solid evidence in order to make any substantial claims. I still love him, his first 2 books on UFOs and the National Security State are classics of the genre. But sometimes I just think he won't really go into the whole 4d hyperdimensional element which is kinda crucial to the real understanding of the phenomenon.

We're talking about a race of beings, who can wait until we're sound asleep, then float our souls out of our bodies, remolecularise them in 4d, tinker about and make adjustments and all manner of psychic doings. I mean, after reading Dolan, Keel, Vallee and Laura, you're just left stunned. What a deviant force to be up against? Truly it fits the heroic archetype; we really are in a war of good against evil. I hope Dolan comes to believe this too, because he's on the front lines of the UFO subject, and his reach is huge. As we've been forewarned that we are living through an atlantean reprise, well it remains to be seen how much is subsequently revealed. Will we on here live through an age of genuine disclosure? Dolan thinks it's a paradox; it is both impossible and inevitable. I just think that a great pulsating wave of hyper-reality is going to course its way through our realm soon, and for those who are sensitive it will be impossible to deny. A new world will dawn that day. No one knows how it's all gonna unfold though, that's the kicker.

I just thought I'd archive a very good chat between Dolan and Tim Alberino from about a year ago, they cover a lot of ground in this one. I've only recently become aware of Alberino and I'm impressed by his breadth of knowledge on many subjects pertaining to the whole phenomenon.

A classic old lecture from 2013 by Dolan. As we roll through 2025 my mind often wonders what the next few years will bring us in terms of disclosure. The fringe as usual will contain the most innovative thinkers on the topic. Diolan doesn't commit, he just lays out all that is commonly available and leaves the viewer/reader to come to their own conclusions. It's high time people came to understand that this phenomenon is very real. All food and drink to us on here, but to the neophyte I think Dolan works well as a deep dive into the subject but also a shrewd reserve too. To my knowledge he's never been fooled, and that's to his credit.

Thank you for sharing this great lecture, I'm watching it now and I really think this could be one of the materials one could present to other skeptical people when talking about UFOs due to professor Dolan's rigor and the way he introduces the topic.

You're welcome buddy! I saw half of this earlier on and am watching the second half now, and this is one of the best UFO primers I've come across. His downhome Rochester vibe makes the extraordinary content all the more interesting and compelling. I've been reading his books for the best part of 20 years, other than Laura's work who maybe comes close? A very intelligent, curious, shrewd and cautious man who nevertheless has been a trailblazer for UFO research. He ties so much of it together, and he doesn't go all "woo-woo" about grays, lizards and mantids. He deals with what's known, and most crucially what's knowable. He provides the historical data which kinda confirms the Cs cosmology and political superstructure. I agree, this is a perfect video for the curious newbie. Well worth watching guys. his Youtube channel is an absolute goldmine.

Well, after watching it I agree with you, one of the best UFO primers indeed. I second all you wrote, my impressions also. He's so rational and at the same time considerate when remembering how abduction victims are forced to forget what they experienced. That was a keypoint to me.

Some additional impressions:

When he emphasizes the importance of knowledge, including scientific knowledge, in addition to a good research and acceptance that we may never know all aspects of the phenomena, although we must always try to get closer to the "signal". Also when he points out that he lost count of how many times he had to change his thinking as the evidence came out in his research and when he confesses that when he started studying the history of UFO sightings he did not expect at all to study about other "stranger" aspects, in his opinion, such as crop circles and abductions. He reminded me of Laura's sometimes!

Spot-on! In my personal little rule book for living in the 21st century dystopia, rule no. 1 is "always acknowledge that which is ACTUALLY happening. Pay attention and take notes on all you see, read and hear.". I think this particular method is used by good thinkers like Dolan too. As for Laura, I believe he met her in France many years back, back when he wrote the foreword to Laura's second edition of "High Strangeness". I think Laura laid some stuff down on Dolan that day that shook his spirit. It seemed initially that he was wobbling a bit, but he threw himself into his writing and came back stronger for the experience. I think a few things Laura said spooked him. Ice ages and cometry bombardment, that kind of stuff.

It's like they're both running on parallel lines, never converging but still heading in the same general direction. I have all the books from both of them I need to face this mad 21st century dystopia with clear eyes and a keen taste for the truth while expanding and healing my knowledge & being. The signal over the noise and distortion which is becoming increasingly obvious to discern. I've been working on this stuff since 2001 solidly, and I think it's paying off now I'm more mature in my mind. I think the same applies to Dolan. I watch his new vid on his channel each time he brings one out, a great resource. I'm glad you enjoyed the lecture, it was brilliant, I loved it.
