AudioBlog: Remembering Saucerologist:UFOlogist Ted Bloecher

A pioneer saucerologist/UFOlogist, Ted Bloecher, who mostly went
uncelebrated except among his peers and a small number of
enthusiasts, passed away on January 22 of this year at the age of
94. He was not known because of book sales, lectures, appearances
on television or in documentaries, but for his research with and
contributions to various organizations beginning in 1954 with
Civilian Saucer Intelligence New York of which he was a founding
member. He was mostly interested in cases involving humanoids, and
his association with the National Investigations Committee on
Aerial Phenomena seems to have helped Director Donald Keyhoe, who
had an aversion to humanoid cases due to his hardened stance
against contactee reports, become more open-minded. Besides this,
he was a Broadway performer, and his credits include ensemble work
in Oliver! and Hello, Dolly! He quit active
research in the mid-1980s and donated his UFO files to the Center
for UFO Studies and archives to the New York Public
Library.
