Raymond Fowler: That name is one of the best UFO investigators/researchers, authors and personalities of this century. I know as I worked with him on some significant sightings and cases. This man was meticulous. Nothing got past him. He gave up most of his talents and time to search out the best cases in New England and far beyond the New England borders.
He worked for the US government in The United States USAF Security Service. He went out and gave a huge amount of time to his passion; The study of UFOS. His style was unrelenting. His passion for the truth was as great as if not surpassing that of Agent Fox Mulder. Ray did not get paid for it. But that did not stop him. His passion for the subject brought him into a world that was controversial and with many enigmatic happenings.
Ray appeared on TV shows and had his debates on TV with Donald Menzel and others also. He had a top notch team of people under him and they were as dedicated to finding the truth of the ufos in New England. His expertise brought him to testify before the US House Senate Committee.
His many books describe the intensity of the UFO enigma.
From his first investigations and into his own personal life as an abductee also. His views changed as he learned and grew through his own personal life and his empathetic way of helping others as they struggled with their weird and strange happenings into this enigmatic paranormal experiences.
Ray was/is the best of the best. Although he now enjoys the relaxation of the later years of his life, he stills has his personal observatory in the back yard in his rural Maine home. Always the educator and quiet and very well educated man, Ray, still likes to enjoy looking at the stars.
On more then one occasion he helped me on my investigations into the unknown. Along with Walter Webb, Ray and myself did a thorough investigations of entities seen in a ufo over an airport in Haverhill, Mass. At other times I would go to his Wenham Mass house and ask him questions or ask his advice on sightings I had in the 1960s and 1970s. Ray was a very patient man. He was caring and an intense investigator that separated the wheat from the chaff.
If you want to follow the most intense journey of one of the most famous UFO investigators life of all time you must read and understand the scientific mind of Ray Fowler. I know I have reviewed his books here. But to know the man is an interesting story in itself.
Modest, with a wife and children and a passion for the quiet living in a quiet side NH mountain setting. With an intense love for the study of UFOS he also had an intense love for his family. This quiet unassuming gentle man devoted most of his free time to investigating, studying and helping people who have been abducted by UFOS. Maybe some people did not understand him or know why he dug so deeply. But in his autobiography I think we know why and his motives come through. He was abducted also.
I had this passion also. For over 40 years now I have been passionate about reporting UFOS also. Why? I guess I can relate to Ray Fowler. After all I was taught by him. I had some very enigmatic encounters also. I reported to him about my MIB encounters and some very enigmatic cars in the 60s and 70s. He was not sure of this whole phenomena. But he listened and tried to help. I know now I was abducted at an early age and grew up in a house where my great grand mother talked to an Indian guide in the spirit world. She found things and people for free. No charge!!! I think I have some of that in me.
I see things and feel things and even have sensed things that others have not. My feelings when reading Ray Fowlers books was one of a sense that a lot of that book could have been me.
He was my mentor and my friend.
Just this week, Ray and I have been e mailing each other. He is going to try to help me out in a personal matter with a UFO study group. He does not have to, but again, this is a man with a purpose and a drive to help others.
He has written many books and given of his time to help other abductees. Why? Because he truly cares. His works on tv with abductees and other people who have had some encounters with this other worldly entities have been well documented and shown on tv. Some examples are the Allagash abductions, you must read that book along with the Betty and Barney Hill case he assisted on in some capacity.
I can not say enough about Raymond Fowler. Words and awe of his total dedication to his non paying passion for the scientific study of the UFO mystery are not enough. If you have some of his books you know what I mean. Buy all of his books. You will never be bored. In fact I have given away a lot of his books to other people to read then have to go out to buy more of his books for myself.
I must end this by saying that Rays work in the past and his legacy must be followed by others in search for the truth. His unrelenting style and his passion for the accuracy of his research and reports are unmatched in the annals of ufology.
If one is just interested in ufology then read Rays books. If you are a serious researcher you must read his books. If you want to read compelling evidence of one mans personal passion and why he pursued this mysterious subject, again, read Raymond Fowlers' books. Not to hold him up as an idol, he would not want that, but to see what he learned, lived, and his devotion to the human race and to people this really human caring man has for his fellow humans who he shares this planet with in peace and love for the human race. This is the man behind the books and works of one of the leading ufologist in the 20th century.
