Colin Bennett, born Colin Reginald Bennett (1939-2015) was an English philosopher of anomalies, the paranormal, and Ufology. He was a Fortean and postmodern thinker, and a noted biographer of Charles Fort, Edward Ruppelt and the UFO contactee George Adamski - this last book is said by Mac Tonnies to "probe the 20th century's military-industrial-mythological complex with an intellectual and literary fortitude seldom encountered in popular works on UFOs", which is a common view of Bennett’s contribution held by his peers and our contemporary experts. [1] His original views were widely admired and endorsed by our prominent contemporary esotericists and ufologists including John Michell,[2] John Keel[3] Jerome Clark [4] Lauren Colemanand Nick Pope [5] as well as the physicist Jack Sarfatti </ref> Bennett wrote the Introduction for Sarfatti's book, Commentaries on Physics, http://www.academia.edu/7363761/Colin_Bennetts_Foreword_to_Star_Gate_Sarfatti_Commentaries_on_Physics_Vol_1</ref> Nobel LaureateJohn Forbes Nash Jr [6] and Uri Geller[7]. Bennett was the author of Looking for Orthon (Paraview Press, 2002), a biography of George Adamski. [8] His next book was on the life, work and ideas of Charles Fort, entitled Politics of the Imagination (Headpress, 2002,) which won The Anomalist Award for Best Biography, 2002. [9] His third biography was An American Demonology: Flying Saucers Over the White House (Headpress, 2005), the story of Captain Edward Ruppelt who headed Project Blue Book in the era of unprecedented UFO sightings over the White House the early 1950s. [10] Bennett's very original and seminal essays on Ufology and Anomalies were widely published, often as cover stories as in Fortean Times, UFO Magazine (US) and Nexus, and further in Philosophy Now, Paranoia, Phenomena and realityuncovered.net. Biography: Bennett was born in Long Eaton, Nottingham on 4th November, 1939, and educated at Balliol College, Oxford, where he was admitted in 1965 as a scholar of English Literature without possessing any qualification in Latin, on the basis of a thesis he submitted and an interview. [11]After graduation he lived and wrote all his life in Notting Hill, London. He died in London on 9th February 2015 of complications from diabetes and a stroke.

14:48:36, 26 August 2018 review of submission by Mbukow
[edit]
I updated article links and re-submitted - I am checking to see if this is still in-line for further review since the initial submission was very quickly removed for lack of links - and now it is almost 2 months later - Do I need to do something else - I want to verify this is in the right status. - Thank You -

- Hi Mbukow. The draft is in the pool to be reviewed. It has been there six weeks. It will probably be at least another two weeks before it is evaluated. You may continue to improve it while you wait. The tone is off from the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia, the English isn't up to snuff, and it fails to follow the Manual of Style in a number of respects. If those things aren't obvious to you, you might benefit from studying some of Wikipedia's best articles and from some time improving existing articles (see Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help). --Worldbruce (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
