Dr. Tyler Kokjohn on David Jacobs

Dr. Tyler Kokjohn, Ph.D, deconstructs the work of David Jacobs in a guest blog (The Unrecognized Revolutions)  at Jeremy Vaeni's blog: David Jacobs Wants Scientists To Take His Work Seriously. A Scientist Does Just That. | JayVay


Nothing wrong with anecdotal evidence -- what I do is collect narratives, my own included. They are valuable and worthy and not to be marginalized. (But of course I recognize they are considered fringe and coarse examples of silliness by both popular culture -- even while used as entertainment -- and by science and academia.)  But then, I don't' present myself as a scientist or the kind of researcher that insists my work hypnotizing UFO witnesses is proof of alien abductions as literal events, and that such work is solid and irrefutable, as Jacobs does.


As Kokjohn notes, there is much wrong with the approaches used by Jacobs. If David Jacobs is to be taken seriously by main stream science, his lack of record keeping concerning methodology is sloppy, at best.


Also, Jacobs strange criteria for weeding out "confabulators." Such as:

"His criteria to detect confabulation involved recognizing and rejecting evidence such as abductee drawings that depicted spacecraft interiors with square door frames, entities with improperly proportioned heads and aliens wearing dark clothing or body armor." (Kokjohn)

Jacobs, as I wrote in a recent blog post, has jumped the track long ago. We have little idea -- really, if any -- of what's going on. If we accept, as I do, aliens exist, that's about all we can say. What their agenda is, what they are, where they're from, why they do what they do; well, it's all speculation. Nothing wrong with speculation, and if it weren't for speculation we'd be stuck in the non-productive muck of nowheres-ville. But speculation is not proof, let alone evidence. Jacobs allows his assumptions, as  the above quote illustrates, to pass for the truth of the thing.

Kokjohn addesses the use of forensics and technology in UFO research, something Jacobs has not done. Not that Jacobs should have done, but I think the point here is that Jacobs wants to be considered legitimate by the scientific institution. If one wants that, then it seems you have to play the game. Use the tools. Jacobs has not done that. What I find personally disturbing are the assumptions Jacobs makes concerning the alien presence, as well as his insistence that he has the truth. He arrogant use of self-appointed criteria, such as deciding what is "real" and what isn't, not to mention his surreal scenarios of aliens, emails, alien-spy vs. alien spy adventures, as well as insisting female witnesses (Emma Woods) wear a chastity belt and send him her underwear -- anyone on either side of UFO Land should know this is not any kind of research to be taken seriously.

Video of Virginia Orbs

Thanks to Open Minds, this video of white orbs seen in Virginia: Virginia witness videotapes orb UFOs | Openminds.tv in May of 2015.



They're not orange, nor large (like the one I saw so many years ago) but I find these interesting because:

• It's a day time sighting (?) *
• While appearing small, they seem to be astoundingly bright
• I've seen this same type of brilliant, white, daytime orb in Eugene about eight years ago, exhibiting same type of flight behavior

*The report says 8:13 p.m., in May, which doesn't make it a daytime sighting, though still light out. Either a misprint, or it was evening but still light.

Jacobs on C2C last night -- oh god why?

David Jacobs was on Coast to Coast last night. Let's forget about Emma Woods for a moment (no, not forget her forget, never forget, but just put her aside for a moment) and ponder the truly bizarre content of last night.

Certainly the treatment Emma Woods received at the hands of Jacobs was surreal -- as well as unethical, misogynist, and sadly creepy -- and that alone is enough to dismiss him. Utterly and without further ado.

But last night's sloppily intricate alien agenda scenarios were so … so … well, words escape me.

So many within UFOlogy mock, reject and or ignore narratives with reptilians, abductions, and contacts in deserts and groves. But Jacobs insistence that aliens are reading emails (as in the case of Woods) and are busy developing, over time, hybrids that pass undetected by the rest of us and have to be taught by select humans how to do things like operate an ATM (yet they can mesmerize humans to do their bidding) --- I mean, really. Seriously. Is anyone taking any of this seriously???!!! 

Jacobs lost the thread a long time ago. Not sure what happened, but if the ugly truth of what Emma Woods experienced didn't convince, surely, surely, last night's interview did.

The Different Colors of Ghost Orbs and Their Meanings

Not about UFOs, but ghost or spirit orbs. This is what they have to say about orange orbs (spirit, not UFOs.) I don't now how much to put into this, though obviously color and their meanings are important including in occult and metaphysical  matters (and if one considers UFOs to be included in that category…) how much it matters in the context of ghosts and spirits, I don't know.

The Different Colors of Ghost Orbs and Their Meanings: Red or Orange Orbs
From a spiritual perspective, red and orange colors are associated with safety and security, as well as a sense of belonging. While these warm colors are often associated with strong emotions such as anger and passion, this may not be the case when it comes to ghost orbs. Some paranormal investigators believe that a red or orange orb is a sign that an entity has assumed the role of a protector. This could be someone who was charged in life to keep watch or be a caretaker. (paranormal.lovetoknow.com)

6.6 magnitude earthquake near Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico : September 13, 2015 08:14

6.6 magnitude earthquake near Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico : September 13, 2015 08:14



Looked on Google map, from Eugene to Los Mochis it's a fairly straight line from here to there. I mention this earthquake only because of a slightly odd thing last night -- I was awake, sleeping fitfully, late at night -- and felt the bed shaking. The whole bed was shaking and I was convinced it was an earthquake.  I thought it was an earthquake, couldn't figure out what else could have caused this shaking. No reports of significant local earthquakes.

White Raven/Black Raven: Mind Postcards and UFOs

I don't recall having the vivid "mind postcards" pre-UFO events. Or I should say, pre-orange orb sighting - - I've had UFO related episodes all my life. Who knows if these mind postcards, as I call them, have anything at all to do with the energies surrounding manifestations of UFOs. Lately I've been trying to remember events post orange orb sighting, to see if there is a connection between psychic or precognitive experiences, apparitions, dreams, synchronicities and my UFO sightings, particularly the orange orb one.

Mind post cards: it's the term I give to those vivid, detailed and abrupt pictures that just are popped into my head. Usually when I'm awake, or in a relaxed state. Sometimes they turn from a mere image to a full out scene, other times it's just a picture. These mind postcards share a suddenness, as well as an otherness -- they didn't come from me. Sometimes I hear a "click" type sound as the pop in.

The most vivid one I've had is the Warty Green Man scene, which I've written about in the past. This happened about a year after the orange orb sighting.

This morning, awake in bed, but keeping my eyes closed (just not ready to get up) I was having the usual random light show we all have when we close our eyes. I wasn't thinking of anything in particular. Suddenly, a distinct and vivid image of a White Raven appeared. Just from nowhere. (Often these things -- like ghostly voices, communications during meditations, etc. come from my upper left. Whether this means anything or not I don't know.) I was startled at his image, then it immediately turned black -- Black Raven. Then it disappeared.

Being a fan of Raven of course I found this very interesting.

(I also had a dream about a giant UFO last night).
