Tim Binnall, Nick Redfern, and Peter Robbins

Posted on October 20, 2009 by Greg

Peter Robbins and Nick Redfern. Not pictured: Tim Binnall

Three past guests joined us for two hours of conversation about the Mass Mystery Weekend which took place on October 16th and 17th in Boston. Tim Binnall was co-organizer and the MC for the UFO lectures, and discussed the joys and problems of running a conference. At the conference, Nick spoke on UFO crashes and also about his research into the chupacabras and Peter talked about his famous research into the Bentwaters UFO landing case.

We spent the show discussing the conference itself, the guests’ recent work, the divide between those interested in UFOs and those who follow other aspects of the paranormal, and possible directions that research can go in the future. We also debated the pluses and minuses of the Disclosure movement, and Peter spoke about the possible use of Reichian Cloudbusters by the U.S. military.

Chris O’Brien – Stalking The Tricksters

Posted on October 5, 2009 by Greg

This is Chris O’Brien’s fourth appearance on Radio Misterioso (since February of 2005) this time to promote and discuss his new book Stalking The Tricksters. The book is a thorough examination of the trickster archetype and its connection to the sort of paranormal events that O’Brien investigated for over a decade in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado. Chris’ theory is that most, if not all sightings of UFOs, abductions, cryptozoological creatures, ghosts, and other strange events that challenge our collective ideas of reality are the result of a control system that operates on a symbolic level to shock us out of our emotional and intellectual complacency.

We talked about the trickster archetype, more as a force of the collective psyche than a clownish imp prancing about the countryside. Appropriately, the importance of humor and the court jester figure came up–the comedian whose job it is to tell the truth, couched in jokes–so that we can recognize and deal with serious problems.

Chris also discussed his recent work with officials of the Zuni tribe of western New Mexico, and a strange sandstone tablet recently unearthed on the Zuni reservation which appears to have Tibetan or Sanskrit letters carved into it.

We concluded with a discussion of why the paranormal is so compelling and why people would spend their lives in pursuit of something that may never have any conclusion.

Sesh Heri: Wonder Of The Worlds

Posted on September 7, 2009 by Greg

Sesh Heri is the author of three intriguing books. Two are fictional adventure stories based on (but extrapolating from) historical facts. The first title, Wonder of the Worlds, follows inventor Nikola Tesla, illusionist Harry Houdini, and author Mark Twain as they  wage interplanetary war against a shadowy Martian race. The next novel in the trilogy, Metamorphosis, looks at Houdini and writer Jack London as they try and trace the origins of a sinister extraterrestrial organization, and how this group controls Earthly events. The third novel in the trilogy is due this fall.

In this program we talked about the historical events that Heri used to construct his storylines, and the inner personalities of the characters. What forces control the introduction of new inventions and how these forces used? Heri has a radical view of how these events transpire, and presents us with the idea that new ideas are not always due to endless trial and error, and may come into existence through simple inspiration or in a more sinister way by intellectual theft from others who cannot play the political games involved to claim due credit.

Micah Hanks: “Interdisciplinary Paranormalistics”

Posted on August 21, 2009 by Greg

Micah Hanks is the man behind the Gralien Report, co-host of the pocast Speaking of Strange, and all-around interdisciplinary pararnormalist.

Micah has sent along a list of topics which we went through, which included stories of the strange “bloop” sound which was picked up by pacific ocean hydrophones in the 1990s (and which some attribute to H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu!) and whose acoutic signature has been theorized as coming from “a mammal large enough to swallow a blue whale.” We also talked about other strange undersea cryptids, the “old days” of the Art Bell show, Micah and Josh Warren’s paranormal research group, “mothman” reports from around the world, the work of Nikola Tesla and the possibility that some fiction writers (like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne) may have been “remote viewers” because of their prophetic stories.

Damn good show.

Mac Tonnies: Cryptoterrestrials

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Greg

Mac Tonnies appeared once before on Radio Misterioso on May 21st of 2006 when he and Paul Kimball were in Los Angeles to shoot segments for Kimball’s documentary Best Evidence: The Top 10 UFO Cases. Mac came on for a solo appearance on July 26th to update us on his recent projects.

His eagerly awaited book on the cryptoterrestrial hypothesis (due to be completed in November) will turn the UFO world on its ear by suggesting that the source of the phenomenon may be a non- or quasi-homo sapiens race that has been inhabiting the planet alongside us for millenia. Mac discussed his work on the book and read extended excerpts in an exclusive for the show.

We also discussed other alternatives to the extraterrestrial hypothesis and our human ideas about how another intellegence would appear to us and perhaps try to communicate. This led to a discussion about “asemic” writing and its relationship to so-called “alien writing,” which brought up the controversial CARET documents and the claim that the strange symbols on supposed UFO components were an integral component of their operating system. In other words, the symbols “booted up” the devices that they were printed on.

Mac suggested that UFO sightings are the visible incursion into our universe of intelligences that inhabit an existence of pure information–what I call the “symbolic realm”–a non-space and time bound dimension. This would explain the strange nature of many encounters and our seemingly futile efforts to comprehend them.

We also talked about influences on Mac’s theories, which include the works of John Keel, Jacques Vallee and William Burroughs.

In the last half hour, we took questions from the audience sent in by email, facebook and twitter.

John Keel Interviewed by Kenn Thomas

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Greg

Meeting Keel in New York 10/28/02

Kenn Thomas recently sent along a recording of an interview he conducted with the late John Keel from 1992. I played the recording on the July 19th show. Due to many requests for a downloadable version, I have obtained permission from Kenn to post the file for free and perpetual public access.

The interview features Keel at his cranky best, skewering UFO fans in particular and paranormal dilettantes in general. He also mentions a few things that I found surprising, such as his contention that Kenneth Arnold originally witnessed only bright lights from at least 50 miles away when Arnold officially opened the modern age of flying saucers with his sighting on June 24th, 1947. Keel says that publisher Ray Palmer had Arnold add details that were not originally reported, and that UFO fans have been extrapolating the facts ever since. I believe that there are interviews with Arnold that include more details than just “bright lights” (or reflections) before he wrote about the experience for the first issue of Fate magazine ion 1948 and four years later in The Coming Of The Saucers, which were both published by Palmer.

Keel also argues for his fugo balloon theory of the Roswell crash, which should still piss off a lot of people, which is just how old John would have wanted it. Keel was in an adversarial position with the ufological rank-and-file from the beginning, which made him a bit impatient with those he thought were stuck in a hopelessly bankrupt belief system, but his theories are still valid with respect to things that have not been explained to everyone’s satisfaction. If you can find a copy of his landmark book Operation Trojan Horse, I would highly recommend that you read it.

The interview was conducted on July  12, 1992.

Adam Gorightly: The Story of Charles Manson

Posted on July 7, 2009 by Greg

gorightly

Poised to release a new edition of his landmark book, The Shadow Over Snata Susana: Black Magic, Mind Control and the Manson Family Mythos, Adam Gorightly was in Los Angeles recently to scout locations for his upcoming promo tour.

Originally published in 2001, Gorightly’s book has entered the legendary ranks of the other “big two” in Charles Manson literature: Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi, and The Family By Ed Sanders. It is the most comprehensive look at the Masnson “family” and takes a longer view of events surrounding one of the most famous murder cases of the 20th century.

Adam talked with us about the events leading to the 1969 crimes of Manson and his band of crazies, and their involvement with the underside and celebrity worlds of Hollywood and Los Angeles. We also discussed possible coverup scenarios  involving the famous and powerful who got too close to Manson and were eager to distance themselves when news of the murders made the front page. We also mentioned Manson’s exposure to the ideas of Scientology while he was in prison.

Adam brought along rare recordings of Manson rapping during music recording sessions, parole hearings, outtakes featuring “Family” members singing backup vocals, and a phone interview with Harold True, a cantankerous man who lived next door to the house where Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were killed by a group of Manson followers in the early morning hours of August 10, 1969.

Richard Sarradet: The Quiet Researcher

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Greg

Richard has been a friend for 15 years. We were plunged into the government / UFO quagmire at the same time, meeting a man who told us he was from Naval Intelligence and who related increasingly strange stories about what the authorities knew, and were keeping from the public. Richard has continued his study and contacts with government operatives, but is interested in the scenario for personal reasons, quietly working his way into areas that most never hear about. On May 31st, he came into the studio to share some of his insight with the Radio Misterioso audience.

We began the interview with a background on Richard’s life, growing up in New Orleans, a stint in the Army as an artillery officer, and a move out to Los Angeles, where he became a major cast member of the soap opera General Hospital for three years. He then moved into film production and worked on writing and pitching UFO-themed programs in the late 1980s through the mid ’90s, but he’s also been deeply involved in the subject in ways that few ever allow themselves to become.

After some background intros, we moved to a discussion of the UFO enigma itself, and how there are no simple, sound-bite answers, which segues into a “what does the Government really know” discussion with speculation that may surprise you, as well as a an aside about AFOSI agent Richard Doty and his role in the Paul Bennewitz affair.

One of the questions that are asked of those who pursue Government agents is “If they lie so much, why do you bother talking to them?” Richard answers this one eloquently, and in a way only someone who has been playing “the Game” for years can.

This show meant a lot to me personally.  I was allowed to talk with two people (Richard and former AFOSI Agent Walter Bosley) who have looked at the government secrecy problem from a sophisticated point of view that is almost never discussed in public. There were some important clues on this show. Maybe too many.

Robert Larson: Co-Founder of The Excluded Middle

Posted on June 28, 2009 by Greg

robertflag

If it weren’t for Robert Larson, I probably wouldn’t be involved in the paranormal. We encouraged each other’s interests in the early 1990s, and Robert was an equal contributor to the success of The Excluded Middle, a magazine we co-founded along with my friend Peter Stenshoel.

In the first hour, we talk about election fraud, 9-11 theories, and sliding democracy. The subject then changes to the suicide of CIA/ Contra reporter Gary Webb, as well as the work of author/ reporter Greg Palast (who wrote The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse.) Then Robert, Walter, and I discuss the films of Alexander Jodorowsky, and Robert Anton Wilson’s influence on our early thinking about conspiracies and anomalies. We also get into the work of Daniel Pinchbeck and the 2012 controversy.

In the second hour, the subject of grain circles crops up, and we talk about the trickster element in this phenomenon. We move on to our own paranormal experiences, including the time a drinking glass literally exploded in my hand in Robert’s kitchen.

In the late 1970s and early ’80s, Robert fronted a punk band called “Naughty Women,” and he says that perhaps there was some unconscious influence from famed sci-fi writer Phillip K. Dick, who lived in Fullerton, California when Robert was attending high school there. Occasionally he will take people on a “Phil Dick Tour” of significant sites in Fullerton.

We segued into a discussion about the adaptations of Dick’s stories to the big screen and filmmakers “teaching” audiences new ways of storytelling, the trickster element in paranormal research, the SERPO/ CARET fiasco, and an extended convsersation on the work of director David Lynch.

We end up with some of the implications of writing and producing radio shows, and how they may be agents for personal change for the audience and the writers/ hosts. Enjoy and listen to Robert’s own show “Out The Rabbit Hole” on Thrusdays from 5-6 PM PST on KUCI FM 88.9 or subscribe to the podcast.

Ray Stanford – Part 2

Posted on June 25, 2009 by Greg

After the mysterious recording failure during our first interview with Ray, we promised to have him back to give the listeners the rest of his story. Stanford’s adult life and experience spans nearly the entire modern history of the UFO subject.

We started off with Stanford’s memories of government infiltration of and MIB-like activity associated with one of his early civilian UFO groups, including a possible murder attempt and his own early UFO sightings and questions he was asked about them by government officials.

My co-host (and former AFOSI agent) Walter Bosley gets into a heated debate with Stanford about the capabilities of the government to disinform researchers and efforts to cover up secret projects with UFO stories. In the interest of being fair to both parties in a discussion which seemed at a standstill, we moved on to Stanford’s work on Project Starlight. The effort was a research project designed to track and photograph UFOs which was active near the Austin, Texas area in the mid-1970s.

After the break, Stanford spoke about his memories of contactee Howard Menger, and his analysis of Menger’s photographs of spacebrothers and flying saucers, which he thinks were faked. He went on to talk about his theories for the origin of intelligences behind the UFO enigma.

We end with Stanford’s newest endeavour as an amateur palentologist and his many discoveries of dinosaur tracks, some of which are making the trip to the Smithsonian Institute for study and display.

MUFON International Director James Carrion

Posted on June 24, 2009 by Greg

James Carrion is the voice of the new Mutual UFO Network. Under his leadership, the UFO enigma may not stand a chance. Carrion actually champions such projects as a look at the effects of the psychoactive substance DMT and its relationship to the abduction problem in a study led by psychedelic researcher Dr. Richard Strassman. He also describes his upcoming talk on government UFO secrecy and how those studying the problem should keep the history of disinformation in mind.

This quote will give an idea of his philosophy for MUFON, and why you should download this show:

“Do you want to know the answer, or do you want to just preserve the mystery?”

Peter Robbins On Roswell, Disclosure And More

Posted on June 23, 2009 by Greg

That’s Peter on the right with Farah Yurdozu and Steve Bassett.

Peter Robbins was my guest again on June 14th. We talked about his work with the City of Roswell, helping to promote and suggest speakers as well as the weird split of three different conventions going on at the same time. Next, we talked about the “disclosure” issue and his unique take on the subject.

How do you talk to someone who is interested in UFOs, but really have no background in the subject? Robbins says that people will usually want a snap explanation, but aren’t willing to do their own research before making up their minds.

He also talks about possible government sabotage of his Bentwaters Incident research, the events and study that led him to his beliefs about the abduction scenario, and a bit about his research into the life of controversial scientist Wilhelm Reich. Based on a question from a listener, Robbins’ reminisces about his sister, “Helen Wheels,” who was a punk rock icon as well as experiencing a series of abduction episodes.

Sorry, but the last couple of minutes of the interview are missing due to difficulties with a remote recorder which a friend was using. I have acquired a portable digital recorder which should eliminate any future problems.

Chris O’Brien: Paranormal Research Is Too Narrow

Posted on January 26, 2009 by Greg

Most people know researcher/ author Chris O’Brien from his books Mysterious Valley and Enter the Valley, both about his investigations into UFO and cattle mutilation activity in the San Luis Valley (SLV) area of Southern Colorado. We covered these subjects in two previous interviews which have been posted at my Radio4all.net site. Chris’ official site is a treasure trove of information and useful links. This interview concentrates on the many other aspects of Chris’ paranormal investigations and theories.

We start the conversation with reports of bigfoot-type entities in southern Colorado. This leads to a discussion of the apparent interconnectedness of paranormal phenomena, and a possible nexus of violence and bad luck during upturns of weirdness in the SLV. Chris remembers an incident concerning psychedelics and synchronicity with cattle mutilations. We both decry the hesitation of many paranormal researchers to consider examples of strange events that don’t fit the narrow scope of their own research.

In the second hour, we discuss his ghost investigations and video taping in an abandoned mental institution, recordings of cursing ghosts, and apparent time slips during EVP recording sessions. One implication of the time-shifted EVP is the rumor that O’Brien has heard that there may be some sort of secret technology which can tune in and record conversations which have taken place hours, days, or years in the past. Riffing on this idea, we also talk about the possibilities of “time travel” through the use of visual and auditory equipment. This leads to a discussion of ancient tools of divination.

We also talk about the work of Ray Stanford, who Chris encouraged me to interview, and who I finally did just last week.

This interview was recorded on August 27, 2006.

Ray Stanford: Contactees, Psychic and Scientific Ufology

Posted on January 20, 2009 by Greg

Apologies are in order before the intro. For some reason, the automatic recorder that I use to document my shows inexplicably shut off 1 hour before the end of the interview.

Ray Stanford entered the world of flying saucers in the mid-1950s. Just out of high school, Ray and his twin brother Rex took a bus from southern Texas to visit George Adamski at his Palomar (CA) mountain headquarters to find out first hand about that “UFO business.” A few years later (surprise!), Adamski actually admitted to the Stanford brothers that he had hoaxed his entire story.

Ray has little good to say about the early contactees, and on our program actually related an incident of unwelcome homosexual advances at the hand of one of the most prominent figures in the early saucer circus. One personality for whom he still holds a little respect, surprisingly is Truman Bethurum, who claimed contact with a beautiful space maiden named Aura Rhanes.

Stanford was one of the investigators on at the scene at the famous Socorro landing/ trace case of 1966. We talked about what it was like and what happened to a sample of metal he retrieved from the site.

In the 1970s, Stanford was the moving force behind the Association for the Understanding of Man (AUM) and Project Starlight. The former an attempt to decipher the UFO enigma by psychic means, the latter using advanced scientific instruments. We talked about his success rate on both accounts.

I will certainly ask Ray Stanford on the program in the future to take up where we got cut off!

Paul Krassner: What’s Funny After 9/11?

Posted on January 12, 2009 by Greg

Paul Krassner should be declared a national treasure. The title of his 1993 autobiography, Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut was quoted from a letter about him from the FBI to Life magazine. In 1958, he founded the legendary underground newspaper The Realist, which satirized the government and social establishment as well as some of the radical elements which were pitted against them. It was often difficult to tell which articles were real and which were fiction. Krassner was a founding member of the Youth International Party (aka the “Yippies”) which used satire and humor to make political statements throughout the late 1960s and early ’70s.

He was friends with legendary comedian Lenny Bruce, who encouraged him to perform standup comedy beginning in 1961, which he still does from time to time.

Krassner’s extensive wikipedia entry continues his biography:

Krassner remains a prolific writer. In 1971 he published a collection of his favorite works for the Realist, as How A Satirical Editor Became A Yippie Conspirator In Ten Easy Years. In 1981 he published the satirical story Tales of Tongue Fu, in which the hilarious misadventures of the Japanese-American man Tongue Fu are mixed with a wicked social commentary. In July 2009, City Lights Publishers will release Who’s to Say What’s Obscene?, a collection of satirical essays that explore contemporary comedy and obscenity in politics and culture.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to know Paul, and was honored to talk to him on September 16 of 2001. There was one subject on everyone’s minds that week which we discussed at length.

Richelle Hawks: Objectivity is Insidious

Posted on January 4, 2009 by Greg

This was a fun interview from February 3 of 2008. Richelle Hawks writes a column called Medusa’s Ladder for Binnall of America, is part of a group of female writers on the paranormal at Women of Esoterica and has written articles for UFO Digest. Her home page blog is entitled Beamships Equal Love.

We talked about objectivity as an enemy of paranormal research, her investigation of a possible murder connected to Aliester Crowley (based on an enigmatic grave marker), the influence of the occult on anomalies research, old/new and female UFO contactees, the merit of channeled messages, controversy surrounding the spiricom device, her Men In Black experiences, a strange sighting of a tethered helicopter, her discovery of an alien face hidden in Crowley’s famous LAM drawing, and blog trolls.

The interview tended to be more of a conversation than most RadioMisterioso shows, but we did get deeper into some of the subjects because of it.

Alien writing channeled and painted by Mario Pazzaglini

The tag for this site reads “In-depth conversations on the paranormal alternating with weird music and audio.” Here’s an example of the music and audio. Some of the music has since been posted at UFOMystic.

This program, broadcast on February 29th of 2002, featured science fiction and UFO/ flying saucer-themed music along with readings from Jim Keith’s book Saucers of the Illuminati and Paul Bennewitz’ plan to defend Earth from alien invaders (entitled Project Beta.) It also contains a 15 minute excerpt of my original 1996 phone interview with the late alien writing researcher Dr. Mario Pazzaglini which was conducted for The Excluded Middle, my old newsstand magazine.

Joe Oesterle: What’s Funny and Why?

Posted on December 26, 2008 by Greg

Joe in the middle with myself and Mike Marinacci at a book signing in San Francisco

Joe Oesterle is a writer, artist and comedy writer and performer. We were co-authors of Weird California, which was published in 2006. Joe and I were unaware of each other until we met on promotional interviews that were set up by the publisher, and found out that we shared a mania for classic standup and other recorded comedy, as well as the old National Lampoon magazine. Joe worked for the NatLamp website and also recorded an album of funny songs for them.

I thought it was mandatory that we get together and talk about humor and play some of our favorite bits, so we finally did on March 30 of 2008. What is the purpose of humor? What is taboo in comedy? How do those who make us laugh point out things that are wrong with society?

Joe and I talked about Mad magazine, writers from the old National Lampoon, Michael O’Donoghue, Lenny Bruce, Derek and Clive, Bob and Ray, Cheech and Chong, Bill Hicks and many others.

Since good comedy is rarely polite or safe, I almost need not warn you that we sometimes use naughty words and play a few things that might rattle the easily offended.

Pamela Stonebrooke: Reptilian Encounters

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Greg

I hesitated putting up this interview, because it’s one of the least professsional ones that ever aired on Radio Misterioso.

At that time, Pamela Stonebrooke was a close friend, and my skeptical filter was out the window. For those who don’t know or remember, Pamela was (in)famous in ufological circles for her stories of sexual encounters with reptilian aliens, which she claimed to enjoy. For my part, I was willing to suspend my disbelief and at least accept that she believed her own accounts. Pamela was an update on the vintage contactee of the 1950s, with a post-modern twist.

She was also a former model and at the time was pursuing a singing career. At the time of our interview, she had released one CD, and was gigging in nightclubs around L.A.

On this program, we talked about her encounters, adventures with outsider physicist Jack Sarfatti, and read off a list of keywords that were guaranteed to make the NSA take an interest. We also played a couple of tracks off her CD Experiencer, and Pamela performed a Billie Holliday song live.

The last I heard from Pamela, she was in Houston with someone she had met online and had decided to move after visiting him.

The interview was recorded on June 3rd of 2001.

The Lost Bill Moore Interviews (Epsiode 1)

Posted on December 15, 2008 by Greg

Bill Moore is famous (or infamous) in ufological circles as the discoverer (or accused creator) of the MJ-12 documents, and the author of both The Philadelphia Experiment and The Roswell Incident. I believe he has been above-ground in his dealings with me, but he had a reputation as the bad boy of UFO research, since he searched for truths in the government labyrinth of secrecy, and didn’t really care what others thought of him.

As far as I know, Moore has not given any public interviews other than these since the early 1990s.

This program, from August 8th of 2004, also features my sometime co-host Walter Bosley. Bosley’s career included stints as both an FBI Special Agent and an employee of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and lends his view of the workings of government secrecy and procedure.

Subjects discussed include: the Mars rovers, Col. John Alexander, people who keep government secrets, the craft of disinformation, the origin of the term “greys,” theories that the Moon is hollow, underground civilizations, the origins of man on in North America, the 2004 election, the mysterious artist Charles Delleschau and his connection to the 19th century airship mystery, the Aurora UFO crash and Moore’s (then) forthcoming book on the origins of the Mormon church.

There are two other Moore interviews available for download on my page at Radio4all.net.

We had a few book signings around the San Francisco Bay area in 2006, and then met again unexpectedly at Robert Anton Wilson’s memorial service of last year, where he agreed to this interview which took place on February 25.

We talked about Bob Wilson, Charles Manson, E. Clampus Vitus, the Billiwack Monster, the ancient lizard people of Los Angeles, and why many Americans think that California is full of weirdos.

Nancy Talbott – Crop Circles and More

Posted on December 13, 2008 by Greg

I interviewed Nancy Talbott on August 10 of 2008. We spoke about the distinct possibility that not all crop circles are made by humans, based on data gathered in the field by Talbott’s organization, BLT Research, for over a decade. Talbott has utilized the services of credentialed biological laboratories to examine plant physiology changes from suspected crop circle formations. She relates the story of how one television documentary team fudged findings to conform to a fundamentalist skeptical viewpoint.

Also discussed, her experiences with a Dutch teenager, Robbert van den Broeke, who seems to be able to predict when crop circles and other weirdness are afoot.

UpComing Guest – Nancy Talbott

Posted on August 3, 2008 by Greg

Nancy Talbott is the Field Research Coordinator and press contact for the BLT Research Team (John Burke, William C. Levengood and Nancy Talbott), which has been examining plants and soils in crop formations in several countries. They have also studied the electromagnetic environments, unusual animal deaths in the U.S. and Canada, and UFO trace-cases since 1989.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ms. Talbott worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Maryland and at Harvard University. She then became an independent producer of Appalachian music festivals in the northeast. Since 1992 she has devoted 100% of her time to the development of a cohesive, well-trained field sampling and reporting network in several countries. This network has supplied the thousands of samples examined in-depth by Levengood, biophysicist, and others over the last nine years.

Ms. Talbott lectures to groups internationally which are interested in learning about the physical abnormalities in the plants and soils associated with these phenomena and the hypotheses developed so far to help organize the laboratory data within a scientific context.

An engaging speaker able to present hard scientific data to the lay person in a compelling, easy-to-understand presentation, Nancy mixes facts and visual images and her years of experience to skillfully show the high-strange, scientific reality behind mysterious phenomenal events.

More info:

Ms Talbot majored in Psychology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Harvard Extension School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Following 5 years as a Research Analyst at the University of Maryland and Harvard Colledge and 20 years as a festival producer in the Northeast, Ms. Talbott has organized, directed and financed crop formation fieldwork for the BLT Research Team since 1993. She lectures regularly in the U.S. and abroad, presenting the BLT Team’s research results, writes for the lay-press, and has co-authored (with Wm. C. Levengood) the 1999 paper “Dispersion of energies in worldwide crop formations” (in press)
