U.S. IN UFO RACE WITH CHINA, RUSSIA, FORMER SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SUGGESTS

BY ANDREW WHALEN ON 3/1/19 AT 12:40 PM

Former Democratic Senate Majority Leader and Nevada Senator Harry Reid argued for continued study into UFO phenomena in an interview with CBS affiliate KLAS 8 in Las Vegas, citing competition from Russia and China—a UFO race, of sorts. “I’ll bet you anything that China is spending some money checking this out. I’ll bet you anything KGB Putin is spending some money checking this out,” Reid told George Knapp of Las Vegas Now’s I-Team.

Reid said he understands why officials within the Pentagon and other possible research avenues within the U.S. government might be skeptical about dedicating resources to studying Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP), but he also seemed to unwittingly undercut his own position by alluding to a rash of recent UFO sightings prompted by scheduled SpaceX launches.

“This has been going on for a long time. These sightings are said to have been set off by a rocket in California or something. People do not want—people in responsibility, whether it’s the Pentagon or whatever it might be—they don’t want to have to try to explain something that’s, many times, not explainable,” Reid said.

Reid confirmed the resulting study included investigations of a mysterious ranch in northeastern Utah once owned by Bigelow (ownership has since transferred to Adamantium Real Estate and an anonymous owner). Known in UFO circles as “Skinwalker Ranch,” the site has been a hotbed of reported paranormal phenomena, including claims of cattle mutilations, UFO sightings, and even mysterious animals with piercing yellow eyes that were impervious to bullets.

The program also delved into research related to the UFO phenomena, including 38 scientific papers for the Defense Intelligence Agency with outlandish headlines like “Warp Drive, Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions” and “Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy.”

The papers were produced by BAASS scientists affiliated with EarthTech International, a research group founded by Dr. Hal Puthoff, a physicist with a long history of promoting pseudoscience, including endorsing psychic fraud Uri Geller .

Is There Any Evidence for ESP?

Skeptics of the supernatural and religion boldly declare themselves rational. We can test this assertion on their terms by looking closely at their claims about three specific issues. First, telepathy or extra-sensory perception? Some might argue that they have no problem considering this a natural ability, but the hardline skeptics say that is not the case.

A medical engineer, Eldon Bird, who introduced Geller, told me, “When you analyze the metal closely, it does not show the normal stress you expect with something that had been bent. It looks as if it had been made that way. Uri alters alloy memory. We obviously do not have a complete grasp of natural laws.” He called Randi “a scumbag and a liar.” In Psychic Breakthroughs Today, Scott Rogo, responded to Randi’s Flim-Flam!, a critique of Geller’s ESP and telekinesis experiments at SRI International in Menlo Park, Calif., in 1972. Rogo summarized: “There was simply no way coincidence can explain some of the results.”

In Best Evidence, investigative reporter Michael Schmicker analyzed the research on ESP and precognition (anticipation of an event) at Duke University from 1928 to 1965 by J.B. Rhine. “Rhine suspected that ESP was not a supernatural phenomenon, but rather an unknown but natural phenomenon ultimately understandable under the laws of classical physics,” wrote Schmicker. “Consequently, it could be studied in the laboratory like any other natural phenomenon.”

As Thomas Kuhn wrote in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, “No part of the aim of normal science is to call forth new sorts of phenomena; indeed, those that will not fit the box are often not seen at all.”

For example, the RNG experiments provide evidence that quantum theory may not be complete. Psychics’ descriptions of the subatomic state at the beginning of the 20th century sound much like the later quark model of physics and superstring theory. Radin says there are potentially important practical uses for psi: medicine could use it in diagnosis, business could avoid losses, police could more easily recreate crime scenes, and the military could communicate with submarines beyond the reach of current technology. Even the American Medical Association has come around, after doing its own clinical studies, to accept that practices like acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work, even though they violate Western theories.
