With a standard of rigor exceeding both Jung and Jessup, let alone von
Däniken, but also with an unparalleled black humor, Charles Fort scoured
scientific and historical texts at the New York Public Library in order to
produce four substantive volumes of paranormal phenomenology,
beginning with The Book of the Damned (1919), continuing with New
Lands (1923), Lo! (1931) and concluding with Wild Talents (1932). Fort’s
prescient contention is that what we call UFOs cannot be separated from
psychic phenomena. Jung did not come up with this hypothesis. It is already
there in Fort, who combs through tens of cases of clairvoyance,
precognition, telepathy, and telekinesis. He sees these latent human psychic
powers, on rare occasions demonstrated by certain prodigies, as being no
different from the abilities of “gods” and “angels” to impress the ignorant
into awful obedience by demonstrating “miracles.”
Or, for that matter, no
different from the powers of demons. Satan is, after all, the “Prince of the
Air.” In his magnificent body of work, which is as terrifying as it is darkly
humorous, Fort seriously sets forth the hypothesis that all major human
religious belief systems are actually structures of psycho-social and
political control crafted by the same entities behind contemporary Close
Encounters with “mystery airships.”
