John A. Keel - Operation Trojan Horse (Connections Series)

We explore the work and theories of John A. Keel, particularly his seminal book "Operation Trojan Horse," which challenges conventional notions of Unidentified Flying Objects. Keel proposed the "ultraterrestrial hypothesis," suggesting these phenomena are not extraterrestrial visitors but rather paraphysical entities or intelligences operating from a hidden realm called the "superspectrum." His research, born from extensive fieldwork and a background in psychological warfare, painted a picture of a vast, ancient deception where these entities manipulate human perception and belief through various guises, from folklore creatures to modern alleged aliens, a concept encapsulated by the "Trojan Horse" metaphor. The text also touches on critiques of Keel's methods and the psychological toll his investigations took, while emphasizing his lasting impact on paranormal research and the unsettling questions his work raises about the nature of reality and human agency.
