On June 3 of this year, I wrote an article here at Mysterious Universe titled “The Mystery of the Marconi Deaths.” It began as follows (QUOTE): “To many, it might sound like the ultimate plot-line of the equally ultimate conspiracy-thriller: dozens of scientists and technicians – all working on highly-classified programs, and all linked to one, particular company – dead under highly controversial and unusual circumstances.
“It’s a controversy that ran from the early 1980s to 1991 and remains unresolved to this very day. And it all revolves around the top secret work of a company called Marconi Electronic Systems, but which, today, exists as a part of BAE Systems Electronics Limited. Its work includes the development of futuristic weaponry and spy-satellite technology.
“It was in March 1982 that Professor Keith Bowden, whose computer expertise made him a valuable employee of Marconi, lost his life in a car accident. His vehicle left a three-lane highway at high speed and slammed into a railway line. Death was instantaneous. In March 1985, Roger Hill, a draughtsman with Marconi, died of a shotgun blast. His death was deemed a suicide.” (END OF QUOTE)

Gordon Creighton
As the article notes, the list of Marconi-linked people who met bizarre and grim ends grew and grew, and finally came to a halt in the early 1990s. And more than a few of them were linked to research undertaken for U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. It was far better known by its memorable nickname: “Star Wars.” But there’s something else worth noting on this particular matter. Something controversial and disturbing. And it all revolves around a man named Gordon Creighton, who is probably best known for his time spent as editor of Flying Saucer Review magazine. In August 2003, the UK’s Times newspaper wrote the following about Creighton, in his obituary:
“Government service occupied most of the working life of Gordon Creighton, but he perhaps made his greatest mark as an authority on unidentified flying objects. His conviction that extraterrestrials were visiting Earth seemed oddly at variance with the more orthodox worlds of diplomacy and Whitehall…His expertise took him into government research on maps in oriental and other languages with the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names, and he spent eight years as an intelligence officer on Russian and Chinese affairs at the Ministry of Defense. It is said that in the intelligence post he worked directly below the secret Whitehall department where the Air Ministry and the RAF were studying information on UFOs.”
While it’s true that Creighton firmly believed in the existence of a genuine UFO phenomenon, he was not at all sure – and particularly so in his later years – that the phenomenon was extraterrestrial. One of the things that both intrigued and worried Creighton was the scenario of the UFO phenomenon being the product of nothing less than malevolent, dangerous Djinn.

In an article titled “A Short Course on the Djinn,” Rosemary Ellen Guiley says: “In Arabian lore, djinn (also spelled jinn) are a race of supernaturally empowered beings who have the ability to intervene in the affairs of people. Like the Greek daimones, djinn are self-propagating and can be either good or evil. They can be conjured in magical rites to perform various tasks and services. A djinni (singular) appears as a wish-granting ‘genie’ in folk tales such as in The Book of 1001 Nights collection of folk tales.”
Rosemary, a noted expert on the Djinn, also says: “In Western lore djinn are sometimes equated with demons, but they are not the same. They are often portrayed as having a demonic-like appearance, but they can also appear in beautiful, seductive forms. The djinn are masterful shape-shifters, and their favored forms are snakes and black dogs. They also can masquerade as anything: humans, animals, ghosts, cryptids, and other entities such as extraterrestrials, demons, shadow people, fairies, angels and more.”
All of which brings us back to Gordon Creighton. When the Marconi controversy was at its height – and being reported on widely by the UK media – Creighton made brief references to the matter of the deaths and his suspicions that they were the work of deadly Djinn.Their purpose: to derail Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative – “Star Wars.” Yes, it sounds bizarre. That’s because it was, and still is, bizarre!
Well, when I see or hear something bizarre, I look into it. And that’s exactly what I did with this story. I contacted Creighton to ask for more information on the matter. I wasn’t sure to what extent Creighton would respond – if, even, at all. Fortunately, he did, and we chatted about this very issue of the Djinn/UFO/”Star Wars”/Marconi controversy in May 1989. As you will see in part-2…

Part-1 of this article introduced you to a varied body of people, places, and projects. We’re talking about mysterious deaths, U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (“Star Wars,” as it became known), and the sinister and sometimes dangerous Djinn. They were issues that deeply concerned the late Gordon Creighton. For a long time, he was the editor of Flying Saucer Review magazine. Back in May 1989, I interviewed Creighton on these same issues. Specifically because he had briefly made his thoughts known on how all these things were allegedly inter-linked. It was quite an interview, to say the least.
According to Creighton, two things were going on. First, he was of the opinion that many of the “Marconi scientists” deaths were indeed due to suicide. However, he qualified this by adding that he felt the unfortunate individuals were driven to commit suicide via what, in simplistic fashion, has popularly become known as “Mind-Control.” Creighton was open-minded on who the guilty parties may have been, but he suggested maybe the Russians – who would, of course, have had both a deep desire and a pressing need to derail “Star Wars.” But, he said, the Russians weren’t the only guilty parties.

Rosemary Ellen Guiley
There were, Creighton said, others that wanted to see the Strategic Defense Initiative extinct before it was even born. So Creighton said, those “others” were the Djinn. Rosemary Ellen Guiley says of the Djinn that they “…are born of smokeless fire (which in modern terms could be plasma). They live very long lives but they are not immortal. According to some accounts, they live with other supernatural beings in the Kaf, a mythical range of emerald mountains that encircles the Earth. In modern terms, they live in a parallel dimension.”
As for why the Djinn wanted “Star Wars” terminated, it was all quite simple. Creighton assured me that while the Russians were a legitimate target of the SDI program, so was the intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon. It was a phenomenon, Creighton explained, which various government agencies (of more than a few nations) finally came to believe was not extraterrestrial, but Djinn-based – masquerading as ETs from the stars.
Of course, this begs an important question: if the Djinn exist as “plasma” and are the denizens of a dimension very different to our own reality, then how on earth could something like SDI cause them harm or death? Admittedly, Creighton was very hazy on this matter, but he suggested in concise words (maybe in too concise words) that the nature of the weapons-systems could “disrupt the Djinn form.” How, exactly, was an issue that Creighton remained hazy on, citing equally hazy “sources,” in response to my questions.
Things got even stranger. Creighton asserted that elements of British Intelligence, at the height of SDI research in the 1980s, secretly consulted with experts on the Djinn. It was something which allegedly led to contact with such creatures, and a form of “Faustian pact” between powerful figures here on Earth and the Djinn. The plan was to try and ensure a truce – albeit, probably, an uneasy truce – between the western world’s military and the Djinn. The Djinn would agree to hold off on unleashing a “worldwide deception” and a “planetary invasion” if an agreement was made that SDI would not proceed. Western government’s grudgingly agreed and were also forced to turn a blind eye to such things as Djinn-driven “alien abductions” and “cattle mutilations,” added Creighton.

If you think things could not get any weirder, then you’re wrong. Creighton made the astonishing claim that at least some of the Marconi deaths were the work of malevolent Djinn and also of British Intelligence – both seeking to ensure that the aims of the “pact” (the end of SDI) were achieved. Yes, it’s quite a story, one involving Russian assassins, UK assassins, and even Djinn assassins! It’s no wonder that 26 years after I interviewed Creighton, I still ponder on his story.
But, pondering on it doesn’t mean it’s the absolute truth. Or even anywhere near it. For example, assuming that Djinn are real, all-powerful, and manipulators of the Human Race, why would they even need to enter into some kind of Faustian agreement in the first place? Why not simply wipe out the SDI people directly and avoid any kind of “negotiation” with government officials? And, of course, the idea of Djinn and government officials “negotiating” on the SDI program sounds not just surreal but beyond surreal! And I remain extremely doubtful on Creighton’s claim that the ultimately ill-fated SDI program had the ability to wipe out plasma-based entities from some completely different realm of existence.
In conclusion, I would have to say that Gordon Creighton clearly believed that the UFO phenomenon was Djinn-based. I have no doubt of that. To what extent his theories concerning SDI, the Marconi deaths, and the Djinn had any merit, however, is anyone’s guess. The whole thing lacks verification, and the bulk of the story came from Creighton himself and from certain unnamed “sources.” Maybe it was just a theory on his part and nothing else.
On the other hand, could there be a nugget or several of truth in Creighton’s thoughts and conclusions? Maybe. Over the years I’ve heard a few, similar UFO-themed stories, but which substitute Djinn for demons. And I certainly don’t dismiss some of those accounts. At the end of the day, however – and unless anything meaningful surfaces on this matter – the story remains very interesting, but highly controversial, and completely unproved. So far…
