Originally published on January 29, 2022. TENE dusts off the Fash-Files and looks into two mysterious close encounters of the third kind. Fritz offers a fresh look at the famous stories of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter of 1955 and the Lovette-Cunningham Incident at White Sands, New Mexico in '56. He examines the social and political environment in which these stories were popularized and argues that understanding Christian Identity suggests hypotheses usually overlooked in most tellings.
