A new UFO movie “The Cosmic Joker” explores the trickster element of UFO and alien encounters and how the intelligence behind them somehow changes its appearance to match what we expect to see.
The film is inspired by the late author and American ufologist John Keel (famous for his book Mothman Prophecies and film starring Richard Gere). Keel was a journalist by profession and he used his
Research skills to look into the UFO phenomena. In addition to going through thousands of archival newspaper reports, he also looked at strange aerial sightings throughout history.
He concluded that there was a strange, almost paranormal element to them and that they somehow adapted to the culture of our time. He called it the Cosmic Joker or trickster because it always seemed like it was toying with humanity… teasing us… we get close and think we know the truth and then… bam,… something happens else along to confuse us.
For example, in Biblical times we saw angels in the sky, the ancient Hindu texts spoke of Vimanas, which they thought were flying temples, then these evolved into fairies, sprites and now in the technological age we see them (or take them true) as spaceships. .
Award-winning filmmaker and UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee says:
“I wanted to make this film to look in detail at the bizarre nature of the UFO experience. We examine the Robert Taylor incident in Scotland of a forestry worker who claimed he was attacked by an alien creature that looked like a sea mine with strange metal sharp appendages, and then we also compare this to the Pascagoula event in the US where two men were fishing. brought aboard a spaceship by creatures with weird crab-like pincers… why… what does this mean? Is Keel right that there is a Cosmic Joker – some kind of intelligence that plays with us?”
Did World War II veteran Robert Taylor see the entity as a naval mine, since that was an image he had from his time in the military… or did the intelligence community adopt that appearance because of his experience?
Did the two fishermen Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson see the Aliens with crab-like appendages because that is an image they were familiar with, or did this intelligence create that appearance on purpose?
Lee adds:
“There is certainly enough evidence that this impostor is behind UFOs, perhaps it is an intelligence from another realm or another dimension of reality. I really think the US government knows this and that is why they will never reveal the truth to the public… because it is much stranger and more than just aliens from another planet!”
