Operation Trojan Horse

“Operation Trojan Horse” is a fascinating book written by John Keel. The book was first published in 1970 and looks into the world of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and paranormal phenomena. Keel presents several key points and claims in the book, which I will summarize below:

1. UFOs are not extraterrestrial: Keel asserts that UFOs are not spacecraft from distant planets, but rather, they are manifestations of an ultra-terrestrial phenomenon that has been influencing human history for centuries. These ultra-terrestrials are not aliens from another world, but beings who coexist with us on Earth.
2. Manipulation of human perception: Keel suggests that the ultra-terrestrials can manipulate human perception and create illusions to make people believe they are witnessing extraterrestrial beings or craft. These illusions are often tailored to match people’s cultural beliefs and expectations.
3. A long history of paranormal activity: “Operation Trojan Horse” includes numerous examples of historical paranormal events that Keel believes are connected to the ultra-terrestrial phenomenon. He draws parallels between modern UFO sightings and encounters from folklore, religious texts, and ancient myths.
4. The “Super-Spectrum” concept: Keel introduces the concept of a “Super-Spectrum,” which is an invisible realm inhabited by the ultra-terrestrials. This realm exists beyond the range of human perception, and the beings within it can manipulate energy and matter in ways that defy our current understanding of physics.
5. The role of electromagnetic energy: Keel emphasizes the importance of electromagnetic energy in understanding the ultra-terrestrial phenomenon. He postulates that these beings can manipulate electromagnetic fields to create the illusions and manifestations we perceive as UFOs and paranormal events.
6. Men in Black (MIB): Keel discusses the infamous Men in Black, mysterious figures who are often reported to harass and intimidate UFO witnesses. He proposes that these figures are agents of the ultra-terrestrials, tasked with maintaining secrecy and preventing humans from fully understanding the phenomenon.
7. The connection to human belief systems: Keel argues that the ultra-terrestrials have been influencing and shaping human belief systems throughout history, using their ability to manipulate perceptions to present themselves as gods, angels, demons, or extraterrestrials, depending on the cultural context.

Several books on UFOs and the paranormal reference and discuss Keel’s work and theories, such as:

1. “The Mothman Prophecies” by John Keel: This book, also written by Keel, explores his investigation into the Mothman sightings in West Virginia during the 1960s. Keel’s theories on ultra-terrestrials and the Super-Spectrum are further developed in this book, and it serves as a complementary read to “Operation Trojan Horse.”
2. “UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse” by Jacques Vallee: This book, despite having a similar title, is not directly about Keel’s work but does discuss many of the same concepts. Vallee explores the idea that UFOs are not extraterrestrial, but instead, part of a larger control system that manipulates human perception and reality.
3. “Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind” by Graham Hancock: Hancock’s book discusses the influence of non-human intelligences on human history, touching on Keel’s ultra-terrestrial theory as one of the possible explanations for these encounters.

Here are some key points about the Super-Spectrum according to Keel:

1. Coexistence with our reality: The Super-Spectrum coexists with our reality but operates at frequencies and energy levels outside the range of human senses and conventional scientific detection methods. This realm is inhabited by the ultra-terrestrials, who have the ability to interact with and manipulate our reality.
2. Manipulation of energy and matter: Beings within the Super-Spectrum can manipulate energy and matter in ways that seem to defy our understanding of physics. This allows them to create paranormal manifestations, such as UFOs, apparitions, and other seemingly inexplicable phenomena that challenge our perception of reality.
3. Electromagnetic energy: Keel emphasizes the importance of electromagnetic energy in understanding the Super-Spectrum. He postulates that ultra-terrestrials can manipulate electromagnetic fields to create illusions, manifestations, and other phenomena that we perceive as paranormal events. This could include altering our perception, influencing electronic devices, and even inducing physical effects on objects and the environment.
4. Connection to human consciousness: The Super-Spectrum is thought to be connected to human consciousness, with ultra-terrestrials potentially able to access and influence our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. This could explain various psychic phenomena, such as telepathy, precognition, and remote viewing, as well as the apparent responsiveness of paranormal manifestations to human thoughts and expectations.
5. Adaptation to cultural context: Keel suggests that the ultra-terrestrials within the Super-Spectrum can adapt their manifestations to fit the cultural context and belief systems of the humans they interact with. This might explain why UFO sightings, paranormal encounters, and religious experiences often reflect the beliefs and expectations of the witnesses.
6. A unifying concept for paranormal phenomena: The Super-Spectrum serves as a unifying concept to explain various paranormal phenomena, from UFO sightings to ghostly apparitions, cryptids, and psychic experiences. By attributing these diverse occurrences to the actions of ultra-terrestrials in the Super-Spectrum, Keel offers a cohesive framework to study and understand these enigmatic events.

“Operation Trojan Horse” by John Keel presents a groundbreaking and thought-provoking perspective on the UFO phenomenon. Keel’s key claims challenge the conventional understanding of UFOs as extraterrestrial spacecraft and instead propose a more complex and enigmatic ultra-terrestrial explanation. By examining the role of electromagnetic energy, and exploring the concept of the Super-Spectrum, Keel offers a compelling alternative to the popular belief in extraterrestrial visitations.
