Good discussion. It interests me:
1. That Keel and Vallee, although working in a totally different way when approaching the UFO problem, ended up considering very similar possibilities -- other dimensional beings, the ETH as a type of disinformation, anti-physical phenomena.
2. That many aspects of the phenomenon emphasized by Keel in the late 60s were already evident when Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer published The Coming of the Saucers 15 years previously.
3. That Keel expressly repeats that he is not involved in creating a belief system or theory about UFOs. I often find myself quoting his excellent maxim "Belief is the enemy." Likewise, Vallee's approach is to focus on different theories and approaches in each of his books.
It's a pity that the ETH has now come to totally dominate American ufology. There is no doubt that the disinformation campaigns that we know about are all focussed on the idea of "aliens" and alleged disclosures, and that other possibilities, e.g. UFOs as a good cover story for black projects, are being downplayed.
