Interview with Brent Raynes - Wendy's Coffeehouse [link]
Publisher, editor of Alternate Perceptions Magazine. Featured articles and interviews cover a wide range of topics including Fortean, Paranormal and Metaphysics.
John Keel was a source of inspiration for Brent at a young age. He was fortunate to connect. John became a mentor. He has authored two other books on Fortean topics, On the Edge of Reality: Dreamweavers and Visitors from Hidden Realms. In the most recent book, John Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries, he wanted to share insight from others who had been influenced by Keel and some of his own findings from interviewing experiencers.
Amazon Review: "Keel was an intellectual challenge to the UFO community of the 1960s and 70s with his brilliant criticism of the then dominant ET theory. Finally we have an in-depth biography of this legendary pioneer.
As longtime researcher, author and editor of Alternate Perceptions magazine Brent Raynes is eminently qualified for this task. John A. Keel: The Man, Myths and Mysteries is more than an ordinary biography as the author present a treasure trove of new data, experiences and interviews all relating to Keel and his ideas. This work is an important contribution to the genre and will surely become a classic in the annals of UFO history. - HĂĄkan Blomqvist, Librarian and co-founder of AFU

| Brent with his Peruvian whistles. |
Brent has a collection. He shares what has happened to some people when listening to them.
This display (YouTube) features several styles and the sounds are unique.
The artist is Jose Vitancio Umeres.
His channel features several videos
with demonstrations of the different instruments. Link.
Clearly, each represents a special energy and character.
I asked Brent if he could provide any background that might be helpful relating to the topics we covered.
He replied and shared a link. "Here's a link to a Reality Checking column I wrote in the November 2015 Alternate Perceptions, soon after returning from the Mothman Festival [which is where it starts out] but ends with details of the Peruvian whistling vessels and Bret Oldham's video testimony I mentioned, along with the artwork Betty Andreasson Luca did of her vision that I mentioned as well." Link.
There is also a kicker and incentive to post an additional segment. Brent has some John Keel EVPs. There is one sample in the show and it clearly says "John Keel" but Brent also shared a few others for me to post. I have another break to add for those.

One more testimonial for Brent's book: "John Keel was a rich and complex character and Brent captures him perfectly. What a gift for all John Keel fans and for those who will be introduced to him by this book." - Sandra Martin, Keel's former literary agent.

The dream 2/5/21 - I am staring at the sky outside and listening to weather reports talking about the storm. I see sections of blue but the clouds are very active and beautiful. We seem to be on the edge and won't get hit with the full measure of the storm.
The clouds keep billowing, writhing and rolling in the strong winds up above but now I see fog approaching and wafting toward me. I watch in curiosity as it separates into individual clouds that then morph into five identical Elephants.
They are standing there and motionless for a brief moment. I want to take their picture but don't have time to do anything but watch. As I do, they turn in unison and walk off, single file into the mist. I am astounded. It was intentional. What is it I have seen. I have been given a gift. What is the insight?
And that was it. Even in the dream I wanted to remember it so I could write it down and work with the symbolism. And so I have a new present to unpack.
Cheers!
