Eric Panther and Mr EMF (book review retelling)

1991 ยท Mountain cabin in California; Ames Research back entrance, United States

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Wintle singles out chapter 11 of Keith's book, a first-person account by Australian researcher Eric Panther. On a company training course in California in 1991 he was paired with a big outdoorsman he calls EMF, who at a barbecue at his mountain cabin showed him a redwood snapped eight feet up with the remaining 300 feet gone, and a hole punched through fallen logs two feet into the ground as if by a pile driver. The family had seen a huge hexagonal craft pass low over the house; next morning both horses had shaved patches under their chins. Bags of green yarn appeared around the homes of anyone connected with EMF, even a psychologist's doorstep. Panther was cornered after taking a wrong turning past an unmarked back entrance to Ames Research. A figure called H demanded EMF's videotape of aliens, claimed links to Billy Meier and to Valentich's last radio tape, and warned that Panther was himself an alien.

What Hind made of it

Wintle enjoyed the chapter most but wonders whether it really supports government involvement.

Explanation offered
Control by a group including human and alien agencies (Panther's belief)

In their words

  • I believe that EMF is heavily under control by a group that includes both human and alien agencies
