Do you think ETs understand and enjoy our music?

I'm interested in this question too Bill
From multiple sources on the races that have been reported on:
ETs' reaction to music is more one of 'amazement' than 'enjoyment'. If they 'like' anything, it would be what we would call soft rock (think the elevator scene in Star Wars).

[Valerie Villars]

I'm most interested in the above question, too. Music was some kind of doorway that opened up my life for visitation by e.t.'s. The questions about music seem to be the most important of all, in my mind.

[scotslad]

I seem to recall an X files episode about an alien who loved basedball and icecream (i think it was) whether it was based on any research - not sure, so in theory having a liking for earthly pleasures like music is potentially feasable

Seems a whole pile of us want to know Bill's guess! I loved the question about finding a little alien too. Rhetorical questions and impossible-to-answer questions are obviously not off limits! Music was/is some kind of doorway for me also. I imagine there's probably deaf aliens out there too, or some that would rather listen to silence (ha ha)

Dear Bill -

What is your opinion of the Starchild skull and what do you think it might be?

Also, what is your opinion of the 3-fingered mummies? What do you think they might be?

Thank you for sharing an insight into who you are and what you believe with all of us.

[Sunny-side-up]

I think this question querying if aliens listen to music is very interesting, considering we are probable very low on the ability to hear scale of creatures.
Sound is a very pure form of energy which happens to be pleasing as well, either as single continuous notes or woven into complex music/spells.

I think what makes our music interesting and us with it, is our diverse emotional creative output.
That if anything is probably a big reason for visits, maybe something they have lost, emotions

So I think they listen to sounds/music in more forms and for more reasons than we actually do.

Also, how many of these artists do you feel still remain pretty much themselves in terms of their integrity and values etc. There are many hugely successful musicians that are household names that somehow feel a bit weird when you watch them being interviewed today - it's as if something is missing and they are not quite themselves anymore.

Are there any that you'd be up for spending a weekend with interviewing them?

As a side thought here, thinking about Crosby, Stills and Nash reminds me of Joni Mitchell who I adore - especially her 70s jazz oriented stuff - what an accomplished guitarist she became!!! Anyway, I've read her biography and watched her interviews and she seems to be someone who has stood her ground in many ways against the industry, and I don't wish to sound like I'm fanning the flames of conspiracy here, but she has said that she has Morgelons disease. Do you also think there's anything weird going on in say, for example, her illness, John Lennon's death and the message he was trying to spread, or Bob Marley and his message and the unusual situation of cancer of the toe - just to name a few examples?

Continuing to respond to the rest of this interesting multi-question.

I've always also had a very high regard for Bob Geldof. I've also always had the feeling that Pete Townshend (formerly of The Who) always was and still is very authentic. But Roger Waters (formerly of Pink Floyd), as best I know most definitely is. I admire and respect him above all other modern songwriters.

This isn't an exclusive list!

Re John Lennon and Bob Marley, I do feel both their deaths were suspicious. Lennon's, absolutely. He was a wild card and a considerable potential threat to the establishment, and a great deal has been written about this.

Hi Bill, many thanks for tirelessly answering all these questions!

I have a few more:

1) Have you ever been so frustrated with something that you considered walking away from the forum for good? If so, what was that something? And how did you resolve it?

No, I've never come remotely close.

2) This question is a bit cliché, but if you could sit and have dinner with, say, any 5 people on the planet, who would they be?

1. 'Charles'.
2. Dan Burisch.
3. Christine Anderson (my former wife).
4. Hal Puthoff.
5. Whichever person is the formal current head of the council that's running the planet.

3) Have you ever been physically attacked since beginning this 'conspiracy' research?

No, never.

4) You mentioned Pete Peterson as a totally unreliable "whistleblower" in retrospect....are there any others that you interviewed in the Camelot days that you now regard in a similar way?

No, not in the same way.

5) How did you get involved with Serpo?

I'd accidentally found myself on an e-mail list run by Victor Martinez, a Los Angeles English teacher and amateur UFO buff. I'd contacted him a few months earlier about something quite different, and he added me to his circulation list. At the time it contained a significant number of researchers, authors, speakers, and current and former military and intel people. Anyone who was anyone was there, over 150 well-known names. (Plus me, who no-one had ever heard of. )

The Serpo material was e-mailed anonymously to Victor for publication, in installments, and he streamed it all to his list. That was the entry point of the entire thing.

After a week or two, it was coming in thick and fast, and veteran researcher Bill Hamilton suggested to the list that someone should start archiving all this to a website. I held up my hand and volunteered. It was as simple as that.

6) Are you still in touch with your climber mate..the very small one who was with you during your abduction experience? If so , what is he up to these days?

No, I'm not. I've tried to find him a number of times, but he has a very common name and the search was always fruitless.

7) have you ever heard from your very small girlfriend from the same time? the one that left after saying her purpose in your life was finished?

I've never heard from her since. I knew the person she eventually married (he'd known me, too), and he does NOT have a common name. So back in 2010 I tracked him down, and wrote him a long, friendly e-mail in which I detailed all the extraordinary experiences I'd had with Angi — asking him if he ever knew about any of that (and, if those kinds of phenomena had continued with himself). He never replied.

Do you think ETs understand and enjoy our music?

I very much doubt it! To make the point, we humans, in different cultures, don't even enjoy and understand each others' music.

A Maasai tribesperson in Kenya would be unlikely to understand or enjoy Punk Rock. (Or Beethoven!) And we're unlikely to understand or enjoy anything considered as music by a tribe in the Amazon jungle, or Aborigines still living in the Australian desert.

It's just SO culture-specific, wherever we are. (And also has been, throughout the ages, all over the world.)

Dear Bill -

Thank you for sharing an insight into who you are and what you believe with all of us.

What is your opinion of the Starchild skull and what do you think it might be?

I knew Lloyd Pye personally (a very good man), and I'm convinced the Starchild Skull was a real non-human anomaly. My best guess, and I think this was also Lloyd's, is that it was a hybrid.

Also, what is your opinion of the 3-fingered mummies? What do you think they might be?

I'm very skeptical. They appear to make little anatomical sense, and although I do respect Gaia TV senior producer Jay Weidner's honest attempts to do good research, I'm also skeptical of Gaia's VERY commercial motives to find and rush to publish sensational material that has NOT been well-vetted.

[Nenuphar]

I am just starting to learn about the Enneagram and find it a fascinating subject. Do you know what your "number" is, Bill?

I was just wondering. Over at the Hollywood Great Awakening thread there are a few posts starting here where it is hinted at through a series of correlations that Steven Spielberg's "close encounters" was based on some kind of true event that was filmed and that this film was copied and bandied about in Hollywood where it was viewed by Spielberg and became the basis for "close encounters". Is this a connection to the Serpo events especially the scene at the end of the movie where some of the humans appear to enter the craft willingly as part of some inteplanetary foreign exchange program? Just curious as to your opinion on this.

Ain't highjackin' your thread bro, but totally disagree. You're telling me some of these cats don't dig Beethoven or Mozart? The Doors or Jefferson Airplane? C'mon Bill, I enjoy Raga, Rock, Residents, and Rachmaninoff --- so why couldn't they?!

5. Whichever person is the formal current head of the council that's running the planet.

I've seen you repeatedly give Dan Burisch a lot of respect through out this Q&A and I've duly noted it.
I have to ask a slightly related question. I've noted in researching John Titor that he never claimed to know who or what UFO occupants were, but his best guess was that they were humans in a adjacent Universe that were on a timeline that would appear to be in our distant future. He didn't say he knew this for sure, but given his mode of getting here was along the same lines he said this made the most sense. This falls in line with what Dan Burisch was stating as well. What are your thoughts on John Titor?

Mike's question 3) Have you ever been physically attacked since beginning this 'conspiracy' research? No, never.

I have a question in connection to being attacked but it wasn't physical. I know you said there was a time you were interviewing someone who was revealing some piece of pertinent information and you stated that you both felt that you were being "energetically attacked". I can't remember the name of the person you were interacting with but the story always stayed with me. Can you elaborate on that?

[Spellbound]

Spielberg also did Taken, which was a fantastic mini-series (I have the dvd boxset). Grant Cameron said last year that Spielberg had been tapped by TPTB to assist in the slow drip disclosure and that he was given a large budget to direct another upcoming series involving ET's to be released in the next few years.

[mountain_jim]

Yes, I felt Taken and Close Encounters both contained some leaked soft disclosure, with Taken following alien interference with family members across generations.

Q: Do you know your blood type? And if so would you be willing to tell us what blood type you have?

[Flash]

This question is a bit cliché, but if you could sit and have dinner with, say, any 5 people on the planet, who would they be?
'Charles'.
Dan Burisch.
Christine Anderson (my former wife).
Hal Puthoff.
Whichever person is the formal current head of the council that's running the planet.

We are all in speculations here but, Taking into consideration your privacy rights:

Why those people? and what would you want to discuss with them? What would you tell them? What do you think they could tell you?

I noticed there has been a few questions asking about ET's and music Bill, I feel the urge strongly to rephrase the question.
The question from Abmqa asked if you thought ET's enjoy our music ?

Q1: Enjoyment is an emotion, do you think that ET's have the same emotional capabilities as humans. From the lowest of low to the highest of highs plus everything in-between ?

Q2: This is my attempt to rephrase the question, do you think that some ET's may use sound along with specific tones as tools for many varied reasons ?

I was never quite sure if there were choirs of angels playing their flutes and harps, but you never know ?

Thank you Bill for this thread, for me ,sharing yourself with us all has been gratefully received
