Documents / FOIA release
This Defense Documentation Center report (ADA068988) reproduces a paper Thomas E. Bearden prepared for the 1979 MUFON Annual Symposium. It carries a public-release distribution statement. Bearden is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and nuclear engineer. The paper proposes a speculative mind and matter model built on a claimed fourth law of logic and hyperspatial frames. It argues that the collective unconscious can materialize thought forms under Cold War stress, and it fits major UFO waves and U.S. cattle mutilations since 1973 into that model.
~·· (3) The U.s. and Canada and Mexico, isolated and cut off, with the great industrial centers gone, and with severe devastation everywhere, then collapse in total chaos and economic and social destitution. Soviet forces then simply move in to restore order, with only a few sporadic small "mopping up" actions necessary. Now if aJ! this incredible scenario has any validity, then after the final weapons rehearsal -- i.e., after the 1973 Yom Kippur 'Nar --one ought to see an increase in the tulpoidal phenomena of a sharply symbolic nature which can be appropriately psychoanalyzed. And so it has happened, and so one can do the analysis. The cow is ~lte Western female symbol par excellence. Western children nurse on cow's milk, so to ~~~eak. So if the fortress is going to be violated, then one ought to see the female symbol being violated and mutilated. So cattle mutilations of a mysterious, paranormal nature have been occurring all across the u.s. --from the East coast out through Colorado, Utah, and Montana -- several thousand by now. It is not our purpose here to give individual case incidents; the literature already contains suffl.cient details. 29 We simply summarize some of the aspects, and briefly present their analysis. Teats are cut off-- the children of the West shall lose their sustenance. Lips, ears, and tongue are removed --freedom of speech and hearing shall be excised. Sexual organs are removed --there shall be no more fruit of the womb in the West. Sharp, surgical excisions are made -- the operation shall be accomplished incisively and With surgical precision. Zig-zag cuts have sometimes been used --deception shall be used as to direction and intent. Usually the blood is totally drained (something that cannot be done even with hypodermic needles and pumps) -- the lifeblood of the fortress West shall be totally drained, and by other-than-norm.ll means. The edges of the cuts are eometimes seared as if by a laser (the laser is symbolic of futuristic weaponry, to the unconscious) advanced, futuristic weapons (psychotronic weapons) shall "seal the end." The cattle mutilations are materialized precognitive nightmares indicating the horror of the Armageddon to come, and these nightmarish paranormal mutilations reveal the true nature of our times. Yet no orthodox scientist or governmental agency is equipped or able to deal with a phenomenon such as this. Indeed, most of our own UFO researchers are little equipped to deal with it, but to their credit they keep gathering data in the face of a great deal of derision and even hostility, In ancient times the wise men knew how to do a metapsychological analysis of the tulpoidal materializations --the portents, "signs and wonders" --from the collective unconscious, which in those days centered about the foci of power, the kings and high rulers. It was not foolish to be concerned with strange, precognitive dreams that were foisted upon a king, nor was it foolish to interpret strange aerial phenomena in terms oi serious threats looming over the horizon, Ironically, today we are ir. much better condition to separate out the strange but normal phenomena, such as mett!ors and comets, and collect the "hard core" residue that represent the tulpoid raaterializations; but we have no Wise men skilled in meta- psychological analysis of such phenomena. Again, one of this author'~ 11rposes is to raise the issue and urge qualified psychologists and psychiatrists to analyze the data and the tulpoidal manifestations in the light of the major stress on the human race, the cold war, 13.
