Connecting the UFO Dots | Ep77

• Looks at witnesses’ reports as well as the theories of skeptics, revealing how UFOs represent a call from the cosmos to expand our understanding of reality• Explores UFO encounters against the backdrop of visionary experience—angelic visitations, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, and religious miracles• Shares the author’s UFO discussions with late Harvard psychiatrist John Mack, philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller, and astronaut Edgar MitchellIn case after case related to UFO encounters and other unknown aerial phenomena (UAP), the same impasse is reached: testimony from witnesses on one side, dismissive responses from the authorities on the other. In the fertile void of this deadlock, however, lie extraordinary possibilities about the nature of mind and matter, spirit and soul, transforming the UFO into a celestial, metaphysical event.Focusing on the possibilities found by exploring both sides of the UFO debate, veteran UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson shares profound insights and experiences from his several decades of research, revealing that the UFO phenomenon is decidedly real yet perhaps not what either side of the debate expects. He looks at UFOs as a genuine unknown, from outer space or manifesting from hidden dimensions, as well as the theories of skeptics and debunkers who insist that UFOs can be explained as hoaxes, hallucinations, or misidentified phenomena. He explores the modern flying saucer era against the backdrop of visionary experience—angelic visitations, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, religious miracles, and fairy tales—and shows how UFOs are simultaneously physical and spiritual, presenting a form of intelligence capable of altering the perceptions of witnesses.Chronicling his own investigations into the UFO mystery, the author details how he introduced the late Harvard psychiatrist John Mack to accounts of alien abduction and how he was invited by philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller to lobby then-president Bill Clinton to disclose government-held UFO information. Sharing stories from his friendship with astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, among others, the author recounts discussions on how best to interpret UFOs and non-ordinary phenomena of various kinds.Thompson reveals how the UFO phenomenon ultimately represents a call from the cosmos for humanity to open to greater dimensions of reality and recognize that our understanding of the universe is still far from complete.BioKeith Thompson is an author, independent journalist, talk radio host, former TV talk show host, and former U.S. Senate staff member. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, San Francisco Chronicle, Idaho Statesman, and the Pacific Sun.

Elizabeth Anglin was a skeptic. Though she had experienced some strange things, and was afraid of aliens for most of her childhood, she considered her fears to be irrational. She didn’t believe friends and family members who said they saw aliens, or had relationships with aliens, or even...had been alien in a past life. She thought they were suffering from stress, or an inability to distinguish dreams from reality.Then, on November 29, 1989, she found herself face to face with an alien in her apartment, and realized this kind of event had happened before. Even worse, she realized that a boy she knew growing up had probably been killed when an abduction experience went wrong, and that aliens can make mistakes…sometimes deadly mistakes.Terrified, she contacted abduction researcher Budd Hopkins, who put her in touch with Dr. John E. Mack at Harvard University. Soon after, she became one of the first abductees to research abduction experiences with Dr. Mack.This is the story of what happened before that research.BioElizabeth has spent much of her life involved in exploring the line between intuitive and scientific thinking. Raised by a science educator with psychic abilities and an agnostic university researcher, her understanding of spirit and consciousness is derived from experience, not belief. That experience naturally lead to study, Tibetan, Korean, and Japansese Buddhism, Gnostic Gospels, Spiritualist Studies, Anatomy and Physiology, Cosmology(s) and more.Starting in 1990, Elizabeth researched Transpersonal Psychology through the Center for Psychology and Social Change, now the John E. Mack Institute and became peer mentor for people undergoing extreme spiritual emergencies, especially anomalous extraterrestrial experiences. She appears as experiencer "Anne" in John E. Mack's book "Abduction" and spoke at the Abduction Studies Conference at MIT in May, 1992 and at The Forum at The Macht Building for the Committee of Inquiry at Harvard University in 1995.An award-winning writer as a teenager, she published a full length memoir, "Experience: Memoirs of an Abducted Childhood" the first in a series of three regarding her paranormal life experiences. Her next book "Inquiry: Memoirs of an Abduction Research Subject" is in progress for publication in 2025.Searching for a way to heal herself from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome after a traumatic childhood and young adulthood of intensive research, Elizabeth learned Reiki and quickly began to heal. She became a Reiki Master in 1994 and naturally developed Animal Communication skills at the same time. She founded Mystic River Reiki, and became a Medical Intuitive (1995), Remote Viewer (1996), and Evidential Spirit Medium (1997). Her original intuitive training began through working with the I Ching and the Rider-Waite, Herbal and Haindl Tarot (1991 to 1996). Her intuitive reading skills turned to direct clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient observation and reporting in 1996.While strengthening her intuitive and healing skills, Elizabeth worked as an editor, grants manager and research group coordinator at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology,She has also worked as a licensed riding instructor and equine communicator for performance horses and riders.Her strengths during readings are in receiving, interpreting and balancing information from many sources - the physical body, the mind, the emotions, spirit guides, the angels, the Akashic records, parallel lifetimes, concurrent past and future lifetimes, the astral and mental fields, and the probability field.As a multi-event Near Death Experiencer, she brings a grounded personal understanding of the afterlife to her Spirit Medium Sittings.She currently lives in Madrid, New Mexico, an artist's colony on the historic Turquoise Trail south of Santa Fe. She meets with clients by phone, Zoom, or in-person with advance arrangements.https://www.realspiritmedium.com/https://amzn.to/3ymTQUP https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

In this episode I am reading from Byron Lacy's book 'Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee'.Can you imagine the helplessness and fear that a five-year-old would feel when he's first visited by extraterrestrials? How about the look on his parents' faces when he confesses his alien encounter?Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee is Byron W. Lacy's firsthand account of what modern science insists is only folklore.The first encounters come when he is young—with "little men" entering the room as he hugs his teddy bear. They masquerade as cartoon characters to ease his concern, a dancing Captain Hook—minus the hook—joining his comrades. Future visits lead to psychic connections with his visitors.Admitting such encounters takes courage, especially when similar comments by a family member placed her in a mental hospital. But Lacy lays it all out on the table as he details what it's like to be an alien abductee.Chosen: Chronicle of an Alien Abductee isn't just for the disbelievers. It's a free discussion of Lacy’s experience—one meant to encourage other abductees through their own moments of skepticism both from others and within.BioByron W. Lacy was born in Burnet, Texas on March 21, 1950. He is a fourth generation Texan. Byron’s Great Grandfather, George W. Lacy, came to Texas in the early 1850’s. George and two of his business partners donated the granite to build the current Texas state capitol. He also started a dog breed which is now called the Blue Lacy and is the state dog of Texas. Byron incorporates stories of his ancestors in his books.Byron started writing poetry while in high school and received great encouragement from his teachers. His first poem was published in a small literary magazine before he turned twenty-one. Byron has had many poems published in literary magazines. He has also published a book of his poetry, THE NIGHT IS A CONSTANT LOVER, and a SiFi novel , HEROES and VILLAINS DOWN THE HALLS OF TIME THE LEGEND OF SPINEY WHEEZER, both available on Amazon. Byron has written a nonfiction book about his experiences titled Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee; also on Amazon.Byron is also a musician and writes and performs EDM (electronic dance music) on synthesizers, and has two CD collections of music on Amazon.In 1976 Byron received a B.S in English. In 1977 he received a M.A. in Graphic art and in 1978 a M.F.A. in Graphic Art. Byron has had paintings and sculptures exhibited in galleries and Museums throughout the United States.Byron now lives in Nacogdoches, Texas where he spends his time writing, creating sculptures and paintings, studying psychology, metaphysics, researching alien abductions, and helping abductees.Amazon link https://amzn.to/3WjGXmBhttps://thebyronlacy.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

This week I'm reading from Dr. Simeon Hein's book 'Black Swan Ghosts: A Sociologist Encounters Witnesses to Unexplained Aerial Craft, Their Occupants, and Other Elements of the Multiverse'.What happens when you encounter a controversial phenomenon that can destroy your career? New bonus feature—Stunning witness video interviews from the book online: links and info provided in the book text. Black Swan Ghosts investigates how our society treats witnesses to unexplained events, unidentified aerial objects, and mysterious beings. It's a topic I once dismissed as weird, fringe, and crazy—something I'd avoid. However, after getting involved in Remote Viewing and getting to know participants in this previously classified government program, I began encountering more highly credible witnesses to these hard-to-explain phenomena. Eventually, the weight of the evidence overcame any doubts I had about the authenticity and veridicality of these subjects. This book investigates why our society is so reluctant to engage and address the critical issues raised by such phenomena. Why are we afraid to take the subject seriously? What are the consequences to the witnesses? Precisely, what kind of universe do we live in?The book contains:    Witness stories from a former Air Force and commercial pilot.    Children of high-ranking Air Force officials.    An Aerospace engineer who worked for NASA's JPL.    A former NASA astrobiologist.    A nuclear missile security guard from Minot AFB    A retired US government remote viewer, and many others.Now includes video interviews on the BlackSwanGhosts.com website with many of the witnesses in the book.Black Swan Ghosts includes witness accounts of a hostile encounter between US Air Force jets and a strange object over Lake Superior in the 1960s; B-52s during the Cold War get scanned by mysterious objects from space near the Soviet border; a former government remote viewer recounts contact with an alien control panel and interview by intelligence agents; campers on Silbury Hill, UK witness strange luminous objects hovering with a secondary sighting by supporting witness; a NASA astrobiologist shows evidence of meteoric extraterrestrial fossils, suppressed Skylab UFO photos, and first-hand account of accidental near-launch of Soviet nuclear missiles caused by huge unidentified disc; a woman and friend have car stall and experience missing time near Mt. St. Helens; a man and friend in the UK see a flying disc and its occupant land at night in the 1970s and then get mysterious phone calls; and much, much more!BioDr. Simeon Hein is the director of a research and teaching company, the Mount Baldy Institute, which he founded in 1997, to give people the opportunity to learn Virtual Viewing a type of intuition training that taps into our creative unconscious intelligence. He also studies crop circles and takes people on crop circle tours. You can watch some of his lectures about crop circles. He is an avid acoustic guitarist.Amazon link https://amzn.to/3YjHZlchttp://www.mountbaldy.com/http://www.learnrv.org/http://www.cropcircletours.com/You can listen to his music here http://www.openingmindsmusic.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP
