Power and domination should be symbolized, and the symbol expressed should be the
one most appropriately selected from the higher levels of unconsciousness (i.e., the
final pattern of the original archetype would be determined by their modulations) •
And in the higher, st.allower levels of unconsciousness, the German use of the V-1 and
V-2 rockets in WWII had been strongly imprinted, for use of these weapons had fired the
imagination of the world. We point out that a rocket is a male penis symbol par excellence,
and also has fire in its tail to symbolize dominance.
So in 1946-47 the erect penis/fire symbol-- for dominance, threat, and power-- ought
to pop out where the action is; i.e., closest to the threat or "war threatening" agent or zone.
And indeed it did, as "ghost rockets" in the skies over the Scandinavian countries next
to the Soviet Union --Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc. (figure 14).
But the u.s. is a natural fortress, or so it had always been, with two great ocean
barriers east and west and no strong enemy north or s:>uth. That corresponds to the
"cave/fortress •• protected place, and thus a female symbol should result in the U. s. Again,
so it did. In June 1947 Kenneth Arnold, flying over the state of Washington --the state
closest to the Soviet Union at the time -- encountered flying saucers, which were simply
female mandalas modulated by our science fiction/Buck Rogers national/cultural unconscious
ness. Arnold •s personal unconscious, the last modulator and shaper (tuner) of the reality
format that materialized, is that of a pilot. So flying saucers are what appeared over the
United States, not gr.ost rockets.
Make no mistake, these tulpoids are actual materializations, not hallucinations or
fantasies. Jungl9 has pointed out the psychological and psychic content of the flying
saucer phenomenon, but here we are speaking of materialized "projections" from the
collective unconscious, and we have briefly summarized the actual physics of such
materializati.)ns. This author, of course, is not the first to have considered UFO' s to
be extradimfmsional or psychic projections; Vallee and Keel have certainly pointed out
the otherrthan-simple-extraterrestrial nature of UFO's, and Hynek has voiced his conclusion
that we may be dealing with a new reality .20
Several major waves of UFO's occurred in the 1950's, and these of course coincide
with significant events of the Korean War in 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953. Other waves
continued to occur as stresses in the cold war were periodically increased.
Another example is the wave of 1967 --the "forgotten wave" of UFO's, 21 which
occurred in the same year as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. The 1967 war was a major test
in the continuing cold Wdr, and the UFO wave of 1967 was the fourth largest wave in history.
In 1973 the Yom Kippur \t/ar occurred. This was the Soviet Union's "Spanish Civil War, 11
where the final tactics and equipment for antitank and antiaircraft weaponry were tested
against the superb Israelittinkers and flyers. In addition, figures for the loss rates of
tanks and aircraft in mor.drn warfare were obtained, and the effect on the U.S. and NATO of
the cutoff of Arab oil was tested. Further, when the Israelis at one point succeeded in
cutting off an Egyptian army, Brezhnev notified the U.s. President over the hot line that
the Soviets were going in, and the U.s. could do as it pleased. The Soviets loaded seven
airborne divisions in readiness to send in, and the u.s. loaded its single airborne division,
ready for insertion. For several days, the world teetered on the brink of direct ground
confrontation b~tween the Soviet Union and the U.s. , with all its possible dangerous
consequences.
Now ground confrontation is contact. And UFO "contactee" cases involve confrontation.
In the very month --October -- tb.at the 1973 Yom Kippur War erupted, the greatest wave
of UFO contactee cases in history broke out in the U.S. Further, in the shallower uncon-
scious levels above the collective species unconscious, which were modulating and molding
the reality format, the imagination of the world had been captured by the spacesuited
