>Clarke’s novel 2001: A Space Odyssey differs from Kubrick’s movie. In Clarke’s story, when the astronaut Bowman returns to Earth as the Star Child, he neutralizes nuclear weapons orbiting the planet. Humanity is saved from immediate self-destruction. I find this theme in the movie fascinating, as both Clarke and Kubrick were writing so long ago, yet, considering UFO research of thirty or more years, they got this connection right: there is a link between off-planet intelligence and nuclear weapons.
>In 2018, I was still figuring out how to present the research I had accumulated in my journeys through the UFO communities I had found myself within. These were populated by the usual suspects–the scientists of the Invisible College, new scientists like Garry, but also the invisibles who I still cannot name (some have been revealed, and some have not). There was information that I didn’t understand at the time, and therefore never published. Now, by watching events unfold (like information about alleged crash retrieval programs) and seeing treasures like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and rereading the science fiction of Arthur C. Clarke, I’m connecting the dots.
