John Keel
John Keel is a ufologist, parapsychologist and writer.
Keel posited that the "black helicopter conspiracy theory" has similar origins to those regarding UFOs, ghosts and fairies; that they are part of modern mythology; in this case, representing a fear of the government and its technology.
Keel's book The Mothman Prophecies detailed his 1967 investigation of sightings of the so-called Mothman--a strange winged creature with luminous eyes--reported in and around Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The book was loosely adapted into a movie, staring Richard Gere.
Many of Keel's books are out-of-print, and sometimes sell for rather high prices among collectors.
