Rich: How Did You Get The Name “MR UFO?”
Beckley: Well I had my first UFO sighting at the age of ten – two circular disc-shaped lights over my parents home. We watched it for about 15 or 20 minutes until one just dissolved into thin air.
I became vastly interested in the subject reading everything I could find. The first books I devoured were Flying Saucers From Outer Space by Major Donald E. Keyhoe and They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers written by a gentleman who was later to become a friend. Gray Barker wrote the first book on the Men In Black and I actually did a book review project on it in the third grade using this as the book I had selected. Little did I know that decades later I would buy the last remaining stock from the publisher after both Barker and the printer (the famous Raymond A. Palmer) had passed away. Talk about synchronicity.
Anyway, my career has been pretty much that of a writer, producer and at one time I was a freelance stringer for a bunch of the weekly tabloids as well as most of the pulp magazines around town (that being Manhattan). One day I did an interview with Ace Frehley the guitarist from the then up and coming band Kiss. Ace was the one who dressed like a starman and of course I wanted to know why. When I popped the question about his visual presentation and wanted to know if he’d ever seen a UFO, Ace surprised me by tell me about a sighting of an object streaking across the sky which he witnessed while looking at the passenger window of a jet flying to his next gig. Apparently, he has had other sightings since that one. I’ve heard tales about a landing that might have even taken place on his property in Westchester. Anyway, I would run into Ace from time to time as Kiss and a couple of the bands I was working with rehearsed at the same study on Broadway. He could never remember my name but knew I was into unidentified flying objects so he would always just say “Hey Mr UFO how are you?” I kind of liked the MR UFO thing and its stuck. And of course UFOs have been my life for so many years it only seems fitting that I cop the moniker.
Rich: I’ve noticed that you seem to have written quite a bit about the subject of the Inner and Hollow Earth -- the concept that there are entrances to a great civilization at the North and South Poles ala Jules Verne. A lot of folks would say this is just science fiction?
Beckley: Well there are several different ideas afloat here. One is that the earth is hollow complete with a central sun and inhabited by a race of super beings – probably giants – who live at the core of our planet. Entrance ways exist supposedly. The best evidence for this can be found in the purported Diary of Admiral Byrd. The great explorer says that he was escorted on one of his expeditions by flying saucers and that he met with some of these inner earth beings who are fanatical about keeping their whereabouts a secret for fear that we will take our war-like activities to their inner earth homeland. The idea of a hollow earth was very big a hundred/two hundred years ago. In fact, Jules Verne sort of snatched his idea from the likes of Gerald Gardner, Cyrus Tweed, John Cleves Symmes,_Jr., and much more recently my friend Brinsley Le Poer Trench. Starting out as a big believer in the interplanetary theory for the origin of UFOs, Trench later wrote a book which we keep in print (one of maybe 15 titles on the topic). Finding Lost Atlantis Inside The Hollow Earth is available on Amazon.com and is the culmination of Trench’s research into the flying saucer and lost worlds phenomenon. Trench became the 8th Earl of Clancarty and even invited me to speak before a special group of the House of Lords who were anxious for UFO disclosure. As part of this concept is the notion that the aurora borealis is a reflection of the inner earth sun.
If you watch the History Channel you will probably have seen some of the clips of the Nazis searching for such an entranceway. The occult branch of the SS the Thule Society was very much involved in promoting the hollow earth. There are some that claim that toward the end of the war a group of Nazi scientists, engineers and big wigs went out in search of an entrance way hoping to escape from the Axes power.
Rich: You say that there is another concept, what is that?
Beckley: Now we’re talking about the Shaver Mystery and the notion that the planet is honeycombed with caverns in which dwell a race or races of beings. This belief was fostered most rigorously by a gentleman names Richard S Shaver. His encounters with the Dero -- a race of demented creatures who roam the underground and who kidnap and torture surface-side folks – caused quite a stir when they were originally published in a science fiction pulp magazine starting in the mid 1940s. Amazing Stories was supposed to be all fantasy, but Shaver’s stories were presented as fact. Shaver claimed that the voices people heard in their head were real, and that they were being projected from underground via ancient equipment utilized in the cavern by the Dero. They also caused all manner of problems from plane crashes, to train wrecks to making world leaders go stark raving mad. It was a hell of a ride for the believers and there were many. In fact, the editor of Amazing Stories, Ray Palmer, claimed that circulation jumped by 50,000 after Shaver’s first article I Remember Lemurian was published.
I heard Shaver and Palmer when I was a kid on the all nite Long John Nebel show and I was hooked. I began corresponding with Shaver and later wrote several columns for Palmers magazines like Search, Mystic and Flying Saucers From Other Worlds. In fact, the first book I had published by Gray Barker’s Saucerian Press was on this topic. A greatly expanded and updated edition called Subterranean Worlds Inside Earth is available in probably its tenth printing from Amazon or directly from me should anyone want an autographed copy. For true Shaver Mystery and Inner Earth fans we have reprinted six of the rare volumes of The Hidden Worlds series first published in the mid 1960s, and containing thousands of pages of Shaver’s rumblings and others who backed up his bizarre tales of an inner earth reality.
Rich: Why did you decide to start the Conspiracy Journal and Bizarre Bazaar?
Beckley: Its more or less a natural progression from what I’ve done for the past 40 years and a necessity in today’s book market.. My background is in editing magazines. Over the years I have been on the editorial staff of well over 30 nationally distributed publications. Most you have never heard of! Titles like Front Page Disasters, Soap Opera Today, Moped Action (there is a hot seller if there ever was one – LOL), Future Fantasy and a bunch of slacker rock n roll zines that at least got me back stage at some pretty exciting shows.
During this time I also edited UFO Review the only flying saucer newspaper published in America with a distribution of about 30,000 copies. And there was the glossy UFO Universe and its many sister publications that I packaged for GCR publishing for over eleven years before their corp went belly up.
I started publishing UFO and other types of alternative books when I was around 14 years old. Some of these titles have sold tens of thousands of copies in one form or another. My publishing arm Inner Light/Global Communications has around 200 titles of our own, plus dvds and products from other firms and individuals. Naturally, you need places to advertise and promote such a line of merchandise. There is hardly anywhere to advertise anymore being that most of the other zines – big and small – have vanished into the Bermuda Triangle of publishing. Its tough to put out a magazine or newsletter – always has been. Especially today, when everything is free on the world wide web. Conspiracy Journal and Bizarre is a place we can interview our authors, explain what potential readers will find in a book and so forth. Its timely, and it’s all about what makes us tick – and free subs are available by dropping me an e mail at MRUFO8@hotmail.com and saying you read it here.
Rich: Who are some of the other staff at the Conspiracy Journal?
Beckley: Over the years I’ve cultivated some really excellent writers and researchers to guide us along our path. These folks have become the backbone – the life force – of our publishing house.
There is Tim Swartz who really knows what he’s talking about. He goes through a topic with a fine tooth comb to get to the heart of the matter. He is well versed in Time Travel, Teleportation, UFOs, Mind Control and above all else has garnered a reputation for being the foremost expert on the grandest wizard of all time, Nikola Tesla. We have reprinted his well received work Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla numerous times, and the latest edition by far adds a new spin on the electrical genius whose inventions are now more spoken about than when their original patents were applied for by Tesla.
Then there is Sean Casteel who has made a career as a UFO and paranormal journalist; no easy trick. Over the years he has managed to befriend the likes of Communion’s Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins, Dr. Leo Sprinkle and a host of other experienciers and investigators. thus enabling us to get to the bottom of the mystery much faster. He has written and edited numerous books for us, helping us to expand our library rapidly so that now we have over 200 titles, and adding more every day. Readers might want to check out Sean’s works which include MJ12 And The Ridldle of Hangar 18, UFOs, Prophecy And The End Of Time, at www.SeanCasteel.com
Next, would be my long time associate Carol Ann Rodriguez who I have known since directing the New York School of Occult Arts and Science in the 1970s. Carol is a great illustrator specializing in fantasy art. We have used her work on the covers of books like The Space Gods Speak and more recently a series of books by the late contactee Dana Howard. Up Rainbow Hill and Over The Threshold have just been released.
Our tech support comes from Bleu Ocean who keeps our computer running when they turn against us. I’ve known Bleu for several life times. He is a also well known drummer who has worked for the likes of Pink Floyd. His experiences with Mr. Bigfoot can be found in our Mysteries of Mt Shasta Home Of The Underground Dwellers And Ancient Gods.
Rounding out the Inner Circle would be William Kern otherwise known as AD man.
His graphics are over the top. He does the design for Conspiracy Journal and Bizarre and has worked on a lot of titles for us, especially designing the covers of some of T Lobsang Rampa’s works like Chapters Of Life and The Saffron Robe.
In addition, we have lots of freelancers we turn to that enables us to keep our motors running, such as Britisher Nick Redfern, our Hispanic consultant Scott Corrales, long time brother in crime Brad Steiger and Dr. Wendy Lockwood.
We even have a few psychics and New Agers we turn too when called for for prophetic and other worldy advice, the most notable being Diane Tessman whose Earth Changes Bible has been in stock for many a full moon. I met Diane when she was going through a series of paranormal experiences in Florida and have kept in close touch. She even lived in Yucca Valley in the desert near Giant Rock which is the site of contactee George Van Tassel’s much remembered flying saucer conventions circa 1950s.
Rich: Do you believe everything you write about?
Beckley: Of course not. Let me put it this way, we are a platform – a forum – for lots of people to voice lots of opinions, theories and ideals. I am a publisher. I don’t have time to check out every UFO abduction, every mind control case. I myself am a bit more conservative in my thinking. I like the solid UFO cases where there is lots of documentation – the stuff maybe Keyhoe might have written about. But it’s a vast world – no lets expand it to a vast universe – and most of what we publish is never touched upon by the media, which is certainly controlling our lives since so few individuals and corporations seem to be in charge these days. There are few places to be a voice in the wilderness – well we are one of them, and always will be!
Rich: How can all these UFOs and civilizations exist without there being general public knowledge?
Beckley: Point well taken. Except, that now a days there is general public knowledge. I mean you have shows on TV like The UFO Hunters (now cancelled because it doesn’t sell enough cars?), Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State. The net is loaded with programs (which I love to listen to) like Coast to Coast AM, Radio Mysterioso.com, the Kevin Smith Show, the Paracast co-hosted by my long time buddy Gene Steinberg. The list seems to be endless. A good Podcast can really make your day.
Rich: Do you want the truth to be revealed for all to know?
Beckley: What truth are we talking about? There are so many truths. So many parallel universes, different perceptions to delve into? People are looking for cut and dried answers to say the UFO mystery – there may not be any. UFOs means unidentified flying objects. Some are not even flying. Some are in your bedroom. They come in all shapes and disguises. Things like the Kennedy Assassination and 9/11 need serious attention and I believe all the facts are being withheld.
But official disclosure about UFOs. . .NEVER, absolutely NEVER. Its too much of a hot potato. The world’s corporate governments will never come clean. Too much at risk that could topple their power base.
Rich: What do you get out of this beside a paycheck?
Beckley: Personal satisfaction. I want answers to what I’ve experienced. What were the UFOs I saw as a ten year old? How about the unusual manifestations in my home while growing up? How can you explain the coincidences that are so weird they can’t be coincidences? Is there universal force? Do we travel out of the body? What about life on other planets? Oh and hey, there have been some lean years and some hard years. Being a publisher is a tough business. Very few others have kept going for over 40 years. I’ve put a lot of hard earned elbow grease into this fight against the forces of darkness – LOL.
Rich: What will people find in the pages of “Giants In The Earth: Suppressed Archeological Evidence Proves They Once Existed?
Beckley: This is a large reference work – close to an encyclopedia on the subject that giants are not fictional characters but have a basis in reality. We collected together contributors from researchers working in various fields from all over the world. Jack In The Beanstalk is not just a children’s classic fairytale. Bones have been found indicating that these giants stood as tall as fifteen feet. Armor is in abundance and of course references in Biblical text as well as other sources exist as proof there were – and may still be – giants on the earth.
Rich: Were these giants from elsewhere?
Beckley: Some of them could very well be. My main contribution is a very long chapter on sightings of giants who have landed here in some mighty strange craft. I give the details of one sightings from Brazil of a one eyed Cyclopes who descends down to the ground on a beam of light scaring the be Jesus out of some teenagers. I also quote extensively from the research of Barry Chamish the Israeli investigator who has files full of giant reports associated with UFO sightings and landings. He associates these observations as being related to prophetic mentions of giants in Biblical text. Imprints of where they have touched the ground and walked around have been found in several areas adding proof that the sightings are very much legit.
The remains of giants have even reportedly been found in the western United States. Perhaps in or around the Grand Canyon. It’s a fascinating subject, one that hasn’t been delved into that much and from the sales it would appear that readers are as fascinated with the subject matter as I am.
Rich: One of the books from your Inner Light/Global Communications press is titled "Mysteries of Mount Shasta: Home of the Underground Dwellers And Ancient Gods". Is this a continuation of the giants theme?
Beckley: Well there are some awful large beings who have been sighted on the slops of Mount Shasta in Northern California. Its one of the most exciting places as far as paranormal phenomenon goes. The noted prophet and man who is said to live forever, Count Saint Germain has been sighted and conversations with him just above the tree line. There is even said to be an entrance to a major underground city there and the Native Americans consider the area to be sacred. UFOs are a dime a dozen and in the old days passengers on a train going by would often notice strange lights on the side of the mountain. Our mutual friend and associate Paul Dale Roberts did a well received chapter for the book not only on mysterious aerial craft seen and photographed around the area, but on encounters with the hairy beasts the locals refer to as sasquatch. There is ample evidence that something strange is going on around – and perhaps inside – Mount Shasta and it’s a fascinating subject. Lots of people travel there annually to climb the mountain and many have reported all sorts of anomalies.
Rich: Who Are Some Of The Most Interesting People You Have Met?
Beckley: That’s a hard one to answer. Celebrity wise Muhammad Ali has had more UFO sightings than anyone I can think of. 21 sightings, including a cigar shaped craft that passed over his limo while driving down the Jersey Turnpike. I met him after reading a small report in the NY Daily News how he had seen two large glowing orbs over Central Park while doing some jogging getting ready for his upcoming fight with George Foreman I think it was. I was a stringer for the Enquirer at the time and so I always asked the stars I was interviewing if they had ever had a UFO or paranormal experience. Many did.
David Bowie is someone whose music I always liked and who of course dressed like a space man when he first started out playing the character Ziggy Stardust the man from Mars. I have written about my experiences with David, his UFO beliefs, how witchcraft saved him from cocaine addiction. The story is all over the web, the original story having been posted at www.UFODigest.Com
The late punk rock performer (and sister of Peter Robbins of Bentwaters, UK fame) Helen Wheels had an interesting abduction experience and a pet boa who somehow under mysterious circumstances once got out of his glass enclosure in her Manhattan apartment.
Among the contactees I always liked Howard Menger. I just penned a 30 page article for UFO Magazine which should be out in their next issue. Howard claimed repeated meetings with flesh and blood extraterrestrials in the area outside his Highbridge, NJ home. I used to put on UFO Exposes in Arizona, Colorado and California and so I got to meet just about everyone under the sun claiming some sort of UFO encounter.
The list is almost endless. I’ve also met a bunch of scream queens while making a number of b movies under the moniker of Mr Creepo. Some of the videos such as Skin Eating Jungle Vampires and Sandy Hook Lingerie Party Massacre should be released sometime this year.
Rich: How can anyone contact you?
Beckley: Well they can go to the web site that Tim Swartz and I started quite a few years back now. www.ConspiracyJournal.com
They can sign up for our weekly internet newsletter as well as receive out latest mail order versions of the CJ and Bizarre Bazaar. In these publications we discuss the new books and videos we are producing, interview authors and hopefully give out a bit of enlightenment in addition to promoting our material. I can also be contacted directly by e mail at MRUFO8@Hotmail.com. and there are numerous shows archived out there which those who are interested may retrieve and listen to. For example www.RadioMysterioso.com and
www.TheParaCast.com
In any respect, I thank you for the opportunity to get my information across to your wonderful audience.
