Should it be included that the pseudonym of the main character in Terry Pratchetts Nightwatch is "John Keel"? -- 132.230.104.57 12:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I thought - on the basis of librarians' entries (in the Cambridge University Library), and so on - that John A. Keel's middle name was Alva. Can anyone confirm this? If so, the article may be suitably updated. Hair Commodore ( talk) 18:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A problem that constantly dogged most of Mr Keels' life was the unauthorised publishing of his books, for which he received no payment. There was also the problem of his telephone being tapped at times by persons unknown. He was not paranoid, a New York Telephone engineer pointed out to him the clumsy way his phone was being re-routed at a local exchange. (see 'our Haunted Planet'). He did not think such clumsy Tapping looked like the work of Official Agencies, he never discovered who the eavesdroppers were. Johnwrd ( talk) 04:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Please correct: the term "ultraterrestrials" was already used several times in 'UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse'. Gertdik ( talk) 18:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Keel's Jadoo originally came out in hardback.
I recently started an article Operation Trojan Horse, and after I spent a few hours summarizing the book for the sake of interested parties, some administrator deleted it on the grounds that it was "original research" or "not notable". I think it's a notable book, based on how much it was "quoted and plagiarized". And of course, I didn't do any research at all. What do you think? Eric Kvaalen ( talk) 11:12, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Orangemike, I noticed that you reverted my edit in which I gave a link to my synopsis of Operation Trojan Horse. I wonder what motivation or justification you have for that. Don't you think people should be directed to further information on the book if they are interested? And why did you revert somebody's "See also" list?

Hi there, big fan of John Keel here, just wanted to add a missing book from the list, surprisingly, to me at least, he had a diet book. In his defense though, it was a diet book with a twist: ..."New Saucerian proudly presents John Keel's suppressed classic, "The Invisible Diet," in which he shares "classified" health secrets rumored to have been developed by either the CIA or NSA, specifically for their agents in the field." That's all, thanks for your time, ;) Somejungguy MorgaNational ( talk) 15:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Laugh-In had a regular feature "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award". The show first aired as a special in Sep 1967 then as series the following year. Given Keel's near-eponymous book published in 1966 are these two things connected or is the chatbot wrong to say the similarities owe merely to coincidence?

This quote is central to John Keel and his ultraterrestrial hypothesis:
The original source for the quote in the Wikipedia article was the 1996 version of Operation Trojan Horse. I have downloaded it and searched for the quote, but it's not to be found. I have read the 2013 version of the book, and the quote is not to be found there either. Since it's quoted in the Telegraph obituary I've changed the source to that article.
We need to find the source of the quote or remove it and rewrite it as a conclusion he arrived at during his work and use Operation Trojan Horse as a reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermindway ( talk • contribs) 08:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
In The Telegraph obituary it is claimed that "In Our Haunted Planet (1971), Keel coined the term 'ultraterrestrials' to describe UFO occupants." This is however incorrect, the term ultraterrestrial is used 36 times in Operation Trojan Horse (1970). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermindway ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
