Ann Druffel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ann Druffel (* 12. August 1926 ) is an American UFO researcher and author of several UFO books, other international scientific book publications as well as numerous articles in prestigious journals. She has made a name for herself in particular as the biographer of the atmospheric physicist and UFO researcher James McDonald .

Ann Druffel's UFO research

Ann Druffel's interest in UFOs began in 1945 when she was in school when she saw a bright, yellowish object high in the sky over Long Beach . She and her mother, Aileen Walsh McElroy, watched the object as it slowly flew west. After about an hour and a half, during which it had moved about 30 degrees from north-northeast to north-northwest, 15 to 20 smaller, shiny objects broke away from it and flew away from the main object in different directions. It was later determined that this sighting occurred around the time the first experimental atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico.

Interested in all kinds of extraordinary phenomena, Ann Druffel has researched various aspects of the UFO issue and has researched a large number of different UFO sightings since 1957. She was one of the first investigators for the US UFO organization NICAP and was a member of it from 1957 to 1973. During those years at NICAP, she met the renowned atmospheric physicist James McDonald, who was well connected with NICAP, and took part in many of his case studies during his six years of UFO research. After "NICAP was destroyed by subversive agents of the FBI and the CIA who had secretly worked their way up to the top ranks of NICAP", as Ann Druffel and others suspected, she switched to the Mutual UFO Network ( MUFON ) and the Center for UFO Studies ( CUFOS ), in which she is active to this day, and published articles on sightings in California and on other topics in both the CUFOS journal '' International UFO Reporter '' (IUR) and the British research journal '' Flying Saucer Review '' (FSR) and other well-known UFO journals.

James McDonald biography

One of her most recently published books entitled '' Firestorm! Dr. James E. McDonald's Fight for UFO Science '' (2003) is written by Ann Druffel with the aim of examining the life of professor of atmospheric physics and UFO researcher James "Jim" McDonald and in particular some outstanding aspects of his scientific research and his energetic struggle to show the recognition of the topic by established science and the government as well as the mysterious processes surrounding the decline of the then very influential and widely known UFO organization NICAP.

This representation is based on interviews with living people who knew James McDonald personally, on FOIA documents that came to light after his death, and in particular on diary-like records ("journals") kept by McDonald of important events and conversations. Those notes for which secret little notebooks (“pocket note book”) were intended, to which he repeatedly refers in his personal journals, could not be found after his death.

Defense against alien abduction

In her book '' How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abductions '' (1998), Ann Druffel presents many authentic reports from her case files (currently 120 cases) and describes the - sometimes very different - methods with which these people succeeded in defending themselves .

Origin hypothesis (noun)

Ann Druffel's general thesis is that the UFO phenomenon consists of two separate phenomena. Like James McDonald, she favored the extraterrestrial hypothesis regarding the “metallic”-looking, radar-captured, hunted by military aircraft and photographed by reliable people - UFOs and also takes the view that these objects in flight represent a serious scientific challenge that has so far been presented by the US -Government hushed up and was criminally neglected by the established scientific enterprise.

On the other hand, Ann Druffel regards the abduction scenarios as distinct processes, as most abductions took place in an altered state of consciousness. She therefore doubts the physical reality of alleged genetic manipulations by aliens, stolen fetuses, military-alien cooperation and implants, for which she believes there is no solid scientific evidence. The view, now held by a significant number of abduction researchers, that this phenomenon often shows aspects of deliberate deception, speaks in favor of the hypothesis that the so-called "abductions" of beings other than extraterrestrials are merely feigned.

It accepts the possibility that reports of abduction by undeniably reliable and rational individuals are based on mind-altering interdimensional interactions with beings who enjoy playing games, deceiving and harassing them, often sexually, with unsuspecting people. In their opinion, this hypothesis suggests the fact that there are striking parallels to alien beings occurring there in a large number of religious or esoteric literature, for example the so-called Sidhe (Celtic), the Jinns (Koran), the Incubi (European Middle Ages) and many others in historical accounts and a large number of folk myths. These "paraphysical creatures" are also described as beings who acted as intruders in various ways, are gifted with the ability to change their shape at will and to enter our space-time continuum from their dimension; furthermore, they would also frequently harass their victims sexually or engage in other harmful mischief with them.

Police work and clairvoyants

In her book "The Psychic And The Detective" (1995) Ann Druffel describes the career of the clairvoyant Marcotte, who is known in the USA, and selected cases of his cooperation with various institutions of the judicial apparatus in California, the Southwest and the Midwest. Ann Druffel's book is also a plea that cooperation with qualified clairvoyants in the investigation of crimes should be expanded and that the secrecy or tabooing of this cooperation in the public should finally be given up.
