Jupiter, rings and moon orbits

In the last few days, the discovery of a huge and previously undetected additional ring around the planet Saturn has been exciting astronomers. But, to my mind, it cannot compare to the realisation, in 1973, that the planet Jupiter also had a ring system, because that discovery was made by a psychic, not a spacecraft.

It was Ingo Swann, an American “consciousness researcher” (he doesn’t like to be called a psychic) who suggested exploring the planet, using a method he called “coordinated remote viewing”, during experiments that were being conducted with him at Stanford Research Institute (now known as SRI International)… read more…

Why I know UFOs deserve serious study

tags: ,

ufo-1One of the first books I wrote was about UFOs. Visitors From Outer Space was described by the publisher as “a balanced look at the history of UFOs” and that was certainly my aim. But that was 43 years ago (1976) when UFOs or flying saucers had been around for less than 30 years and it seemed to be just a matter of time before we would all know what they were and where they came from.

Eighty patients have co-operated with Scottish psychic researcher Patricia Robertson in a study of the benefits they have received at the hands of two English healers, Gary Mannion and Nina Knowland. The healers also participated in the research.

Robertson revealed some early findings in a lecture on paranormal healing to the Society for Psychical Research in London on Thursday, 1 October, titled “Do Miracles Happen?”

She reported that 86 per cent felt heat from the healer’s hands during treatment, half experienced a quick cessation of pain, and four out of ten said they sensed “internal manipulation” during treatment.

Derren Brown

Britain’s top man of mystery – Derren Brown – appeared on television last night and apparently predicted the six winning lottery numbers.

It was a sensational stunt that will convince the majority of the vast viewing audience that he has incredible psychic powers. But there was nothing paranormal in his much-hyped performance, shown on Channel 4 and its associated channels simultaneously with the BBC’s live transmission of the lottery results. Here’s how I reckon he did it… read more…

Front page which broke news of Roswell crash

When I first heard about the alleged crash of a flying saucer at Roswell, New Mexico, many years ago, I was sceptical. There were too many unanswered questions. But in the four decades that have elapsed, I have had to change my mind.

Now, new evidence, just obtained under Freedom of Information legislation in the US, makes me certain that something extraordinary did occur at Roswell on 8 July 1947 and has been covered up by the military and the US government ever since. read more…
