The Secret History of Extraterrestrials: Advanced Technology and the Coming New Race (24 page)
AN ALIEN PLOT
The Andy Pero story is important because it opens up new vistas regarding the potential power of both the human mind and the human body. Pero says that they were trying to find out whether the mind, under hypnosis, can “overcome the physical limitations of the human body,” but really, he himself doesn’t know the extent of those limitations. Without question, he demonstrated the awesome power of the mind. But was he able to actually change the atoms and molecules of his muscles? That is unlikely. It is more likely that the human body has a tremendous built-in reserve power that can be called on in emergencies, as in a case where a panicky father is able to lift an automobile to save his child. The fact is that we do not know who we really are. We have no idea of our power. We get glimmers of insight from observing works of genius and watching strongmen pull locomotives, and we marvel at David Copperfield and Criss Angel. But social forces seem to be in a constant conspiracy to keep us from the discovery of our true nature.
Pero believes that there is a joint plot between the Illuminati, or the world “shadow” government, and the Reptilians to make this a slave planet through the use of the mind-control techniques that they practiced on him. Followers of David Icke and similar conspiracists will know that the Reptilians are an alien race from the Alpha Draconis constellation who have penetrated to mass control at the very highest world levels by cooperation with the Illuminati (see chapter 25). He claims to know this because at one point, when they trusted him, he was invited into their inner circle. He says, “The Reptilians were . . . greatly offended as in my speech I declared that in whose best interest is ‘total mind control’ really . . . Humanity, or the alien species that were trying to overtake us? They must take the earth intact and without a war for they want the planet for their own usages. Also, why do you think they know they must control us NOW, before we develop any further? We only use 6–8% of our brains, what’s going to happen when we use all of it? AND do you really think that if there were 5 billion human beings on the planet that could do what I can do they would be making treaties with the government in exchange for women and children subjects to conduct horrific human breeding experiments?”
Perhaps now, in the twenty-first century, the time has come to get space-age statesmen into leadership positions in our government to take on the real problems. Instead of constant wars and the price of oil, they should focus on human development and exopolitical relations.

Psychic Discoveries Revisited
In June 1968, two young researchers and writers, Sheila Ostrander, a Canadian, and Lynn Schroeder, an American, were invited to attend an international conference on extrasensory perception, or ESP, to be held in Moscow. The invitation was from one of the most fervent missionaries of parapsychology studies (psi research) in the Soviet Union, Edward Naumov, then thirty-six years old. A few years earlier, under Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschchev, when overt interest in such subjects was severely proscribed and could easily result in a long “holiday” in Siberia, such a conference would have been impossible. Then suddenly, in the midsixties, while the Woodstock generation emerged in the United States, the doors of prohibition in Russia, under the troika rulership, clanged open.
Ostrander and Schroeder, encouraged but still disbelieving this turn of events, started writing to scientists and researchers in the Soviet Union. The response was incredible. For three years, the letters and packages describing Soviet psi research kept coming, culminating in the invitation from Naumov to “come and see for yourself.” They did, also visiting Bulgaria, but even before the conference had ended, the suppression returned. The conference was closed down, and they had to take refuge in Prague. Once again they stayed one step ahead of the Soviet crackdown, getting out of Prague only days before the Soviet tanks rolled in and put down the heroic Czech freedom revolt. Out of that journey, taken during that brief lapse in Soviet repression before Yuri Andropov took over the Soviet Committee for State Security (KGB), came an epic book that opened the eyes of the world to the incredible breakthroughs in psychic research taking place in the communist countries. That book,
Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain,
published in 1970, became an instant underground hit in new age circles, and even though it never achieved bestseller status with a mainstream readership, it nevertheless has now achieved the eminence of a classic.
Up to that point, all we had to go on was some very tentative research by Dr. J. B. Rhine and his associates, who founded the parapsychology laboratory at Duke University in North Carolina in the 1950s. While some of Rhine’s conclusions were positive and dramatic, the effect was blunted because the research results were couched in cautious, dry, statistical terms, and consequently, it was nearly impossible to appreciate the real impact of his work. ESP investigation became a sort of parlor game after that, and nobody really understood its importance, but the publication of
Psychic Discoveries
made it all very real. The future of the human race became fantastic to contemplate and, at the same time, very chilling. The authors showed that while these discoveries could lead to a utopia if properly used, they could also lead to a hell on earth if abused.
Ostrander and Schroeder have become world authorities on these subjects and literary celebrities and were, for a long time, in great demand on the lecture circuit. Their celebrity status had faded by the early 1990s, but I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet them at John White’s 1997 UFO conference in North Haven, Connecticut, where they were featured speakers, and I was delighted when they agreed to an interview. They were back in the public eye that year because a new, updated edition of their book had just been published by Marlowe & Company, with the title shortened to
Psychic Discoveries
(herein referred to as
Psychic Discoveries II
). Publication of this new edition was motivated primarily by the flow of previously top-secret information that came out of the Soviet Union after the end of the Cold War.
Psychic Discoveries II
contains an abridged version of the old classic and then a second part titled “Psychic Discoveries—The Iron Curtain Lifted.” But the authors had not been idle between 1970 and 1997. In 1991, they published the book
Supermemory: The Revolution
. This book, which evolved out of contacts and interests developed while researching the original
Psychic Discoveries,
has also stood the test of time and bids to become a classic in its own right. In all three books, the scope and depth of reportage is phenomenal by any standards. The reader has to be deeply impressed by the scientific grasp of the authors on subjects that were previously unknown because they were formerly cloaked in impenetrable secrecy.
The revelations in all three books are nothing short of sensational. Yet for over twenty-five years, the press and the public have barely taken notice of what has been revealed. This is amazing from any viewpoint. It repeats the pattern of the UFO situation and therefore suggests a monumental world cover-up, which is almost understandable in view of the tremendous ramifications. In fact, Ostrander and Schroeder told me that they have now recognized that UFO secrets and psi secrets seem inextricably linked. It may be recalled, in this regard, that psychic superman Uri Geller claimed to have obtained his powers from extraterrestrial sources.
Psychic Discoveries II
includes a foreword by Geller, in which he marvels at the fact that the press has taken such little notice. He mentions a press conference in 1977 at which Stansfield Turner, the then newly appointed director of the CIA by President Jimmy Carter, revealed that the CIA had a parapsychology program in place and had found a man named Pat Price who could see through walls. This astonishing revelation, from such an authoritative source, created not even a ripple in the media! It is truly remarkable that such a worldwide blanket suppression of news is possible. It seems almost impossible that the seemingly fiercely competitive media moguls would make such decisions jointly.
QUIET REVOLUTIONS
While the revelations in
Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain
(the original book) did not get wide publicity and coverage, they nevertheless started many quiet revolutions, and their impact on society, health, science, and religion has yet to be fully appreciated. The fantastic discoveries of an obscure electric repairman from the Black Sea city of Krasnodar were first revealed to the West in the pages of
Psychic Discoveries
in the chapter titled “Kirlian Photography—Pictures of the Aura?” In classic Ostrander-Schroeder style, the drama surrounding the experimentation of Semyon Kirlian and his wife Valentina is brought to life. It was in this chapter that the terms “energy body” and “bioplasmic body” were first used and that the idea that the aura is really the luminescence of the astral body itself was first put forth. One of the most significant results was a new understanding of the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. A Russian surgeon, Dr. Mikhail Gaikin, showed that the colored lights erupting from the body and showing up in the Kirlian photographs were actually coming from the seven hundred acupuncture points.
In 1971, in the public mind, dowsing was something performed by eccentrics who had no respect for more scientific methods of finding underground water or veins of ore. In the pages of
Psychic Discoveries,
we first learned that the Soviet scientists were not so skeptical. In the chapter titled “Dowsing: From ‘Wizard Rod’ to ‘BPE,’” we learned that Soviet scientists had conducted extensive tests and completely validated the ancient craft. Now rechristened biophysical effects (BPE), dowsing had been demystified and used commercially in the Soviet Union since the early 1960s.
Before the publication of
Psychic Discoveries,
there had been several books written about the unique and strange dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza, speculating about their significance. But thanks to their side trip to Prague, Ostrander and Schroeder were the first to tell the world about “pyramid power.”
*27
In Prague, they were introduced to Karel Drbal, a Czech radio and television engineer who had discovered that small pyramids of the same relative dimensions as the Great Pyramid could sharpen razor blades! In the 1950s, when it was difficult to get imported razor blades in Czechoslovakia, Drbal and all his friends used small, cardboard pyramids to keep their blades sharp. In some cases, they reused the same blade as many as two hundred times! The secret is in the shape, Drbal told our intrepid duo, just as with the violin. The pyramidal shape, when precisely aligned on the north-south axis, apparently focuses cosmic energy, which can renew the crystalline structure of good-quality steel.
Pyramids of Giza: the power is in the shape
MIND WARS AND SOCIAL CONTROL
Without exception, all of the researchers from communist countries who were interviewed expressed hope that these discoveries would be used only for good (perhaps ruefully remembering former lives on Atlantis). But they clearly recognized that many of the discoveries offered tremendous potential for intelligence and counterintelligence applications, and that some of them could be used to make very destructive weapons—and so did the CIA. Although we now know that U.S. intelligence agencies have been conducting clandestine, black-funded psychic experimentation for many years, there is considerable evidence that many of the top-secret government psi programs were triggered by
Psychic Discoveries.
Extensive U.S. programs to monitor the Soviet research started up at about that time. Ostrander and Schroeder were invited to speak to the new Congressional Clearinghouse of the Future, and parts of the book were read into the
Congressional Record
. They were introduced by Congressman Al Gore, who was on the Executive Committee of the Clearinghouse and later became the chairman. Gore had maintained a high degree of interest in psychic matters, which continues even now. Apparently, both sides were in a no-holds-barred race to perfect psi weapons during the Cold War, but just as with space programs, they may now be cooperating. Secret cooperation, if true, is an ominous development. It means that these techniques are possibly now being turned to social control (i.e., psychic manipulation of the populace).
From the original version of
Psychic Discoveries,
the world first learned of an unbelievable Soviet development—the ability to control behavior and consciousness telepathically! In the chapter titled “The Telepathic Knockout,” the authors reported on experimentation dating from 1924 in which Soviet scientists successfully placed subjects into a hypnotic trance and awakened them telepathically across thousands of miles. Once the connection is established, the subject’s behavior can be manipulated by suggestion, just as in face-to-face hypnosis. Typically, subjects can carry on conscious conversation and activity while in the trance. In
Psychic Discoveries II,
we learn that the CIA picked up that ball and ran with it.
But it was from the Czechoslovakians at the conference that the authors learned of an incredible discovery that promises to ultimately make twentieth-century explosive weaponry seem as primitive as the horse and buggy, by comparison—the psychotronic generator. While in Prague, Ostrander and Schroeder met the inventor Robert Pavilita, a design director for a large Czech textile plant. In a documentary film produced by a major Czech studio, the authors saw small, strange-looking metal objects, which appeared to be designed by Picasso, arrayed on a table. They had no moving parts. In the film, Pavlita explained that the secret was in the form. “The generators accumulate human energy,” he said. Then they focus this energy to carry out various tasks. Pavlita and his daughter Janna charged the generators by gazing at them in a “staring pattern.” Once charged, the generators turned rotors, attracted nonmetallic particles, caused seedlings to quickly grow into larger plants, and purified polluted water. This human psychic energy has had many names since ancient times, being variously referred to as prana, chi, vital energy, animal magnetism, odic force, etheric force, orgone, and now bioplasmic and psychotronic energy. At Pavlita’s home in Prague, the authors handled the devices and saw personal demonstrations by the inventor himself. But what happens when a psychotronic generator is pointed at a human? Pavlita’s daughter volunteered to be a guinea pig. She became dizzy and lost her spatial orientation. The devices can also kill flies instantly.
In
Psychic Discoveries II,
we learn that former KGB Major General Oleg Danilovich Kalugin, an outspoken critic of the KGB, who was forced into retirement in February 1990, started talking after he stepped down. He claimed that Andropov gave orders to move full speed ahead with psychic warfare in the early 1970s and obtained funding of 500 million rubles. The Soviets then developed sophisticated Pavlita-type generators. Dr. Nikolai Khokhlov, a Russian CIA operative, uncovered over twenty heavily guarded, well-funded laboratories working on psychotronic devices for military use in the 1970s. Some of this effort may have been in cooperation with the United States. It is known that the Pentagon invited Russian scientists to watch the devices being used in the 1993 Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas, to plant thoughts into the mind of the group’s leader, David Koresh. It is also understood now that the rock music blasted at the enemy by psychological warfare units during the Panama and Gulf wars probably had psychotronic components.
