Barry King is a name that will probably mean very little (or indeed nothing at all) to the US-based UFO research community. But in the UK the situation is somewhat different…
King was a relatively well-known figure in 1970s Ufology, undertook a lot of firsthand investigations into intriguing and prominent UFO cases, and whose name could often be found in the UFO newsletters, periodicals and publications that existed back then.
And then he vanished from the scene. That is, until the late 1990s, when he re-surfaced with a self-published (and bizarre) magazine called The Voice.
Full of stories about underground bases in the UK (and elsewhere), diabolical genetic experiments, bizarre lifeforms, the surveillance of practically the entire UK UFO research community by the official world, and much more, The Voice was one of those publications that either prompted elements of Ufology to dismiss it as utter nonsense or embrace it as the dark truth that was being firmly hidden from us.
For those who recall Val Valerian’s Matrix books, you’ll instantly get the picture.
And where had Barry been during his “Missing in Action� years? Well, Barry claimed that from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, he had been working at an underground base in the UK called Peasemore, where � Gray alien� -like entities were being created in laboratories and that would routinely be used in what have become known as MILABS - military abductions of members of the public.
Yes: a wild and controversial story - to say the very least. And for those that want to learn more about it, you can now do so at YouTube. In this interview, King discusses his controversial claims, and the admittedly intriguing theory that the infamous UFO landing at Rendlesham Forest, England in December 1980 was an ingenious piece of psychological warfare, designed to create the impression of an alien visitation - something that, King says, could one day be used in a battlefield scenario.
Like those of so many alleged whistleblowers, King’s story was one that was long and hotly debated in places where British ufologists gathered in the halcyon and X-Files dominated days of the late 1990s.
What he’s up to now, I have no idea.
