I-Team: Research on UFO's, remote viewing, and spiritual mediums discussed at special conference
By: George Knapp

LAS VEGAS - Scientists, skeptics, and psychics will gather in Las Vegas over the week for a special conference created to explore seemingly taboo topics, including UFO's, remote viewing, and spiritual mediums.
Scientists who've put their careers and credibility on the line by studying so-called fringe topics are anxious to share their latest research, not only with colleagues but with the public.
Take a 2004 encounter between U.S. Navy pilots and a so-called Tic-Tac UFO off the coast of California.
The incident has emerged as one of the best-documented encounters of all time.
Since the video went public late last year, the Pentagon has reluctantly acknowledged there was an official program to study UFO's. As the I-Team first reported, one of the Pentagon programs was carried out in Nevada by BAASS, a subcontractor within Bigelow aerospace, financed by the DIA. The chief scientist for BAASS was physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff.
"Hal was working with the DIA study with BAASS as well as the chief scientific officer for the civilian effort in the field," said Dr. John Alexander, former U.S. Army Intelligence. "I should also mention he was also participating in the study I ran 30 years ago."
Alexander, a Las Vegan and a former military intelligence colonel, has been pursuing the UFO mystery for decades.
It's no accident he invited Dr. Puthoff to speak at the conference, given the recent explosion of media interest in the Pentagon's UFO study.
On Friday, Puthoff will tell what he knows about how that study began and some of what he learned. It is one of the highlights at the joint conference of IRVA, which is the International Remote Viewing Association, and SSE, the Society for Scientific Exploration. Both groups include professionals who believe the study of unconventional subjects is a worthwhile pursuit.
"That is the key point," Alexander said. "These people are highly credible, highly skilled. There are many professors, MDs and PhDs that are involved and they do want to look at, are willing to look at; they're not all proponents. Some are true skeptics, but are willing to look at the data."
The conference is not a gathering of true believers. For example, one SSE member, Dr. Garry Nolan of Stanford, recently demolished claims by pitchmen that a skeleton found in Chile was a mummified extraterrestrial.
Dr. Nolan proved it was a deformed human.
Remote viewing is a protocol developed for the CIA and tested by the U.S. Army. It was the basis for the George Clooney movie, "The Men Who Stare At Goats." The technique allows people to project human consciousness across time and space, and it works.
On Wednesday, attendees will be able to learn how to remote view for themselves as taught by the government's own psychic spies. Dr. Puthoff helped create the CIA's Remote Viewing Program, but for this event, he'll focus on the Pentagon's UFO studies.
"So it is interesting the Pentagon is doing this," said Alexander. "My question is, why aren't we seeing more?"
The public is invited to attend the conference, which starts Wednesday morning.

We Asked People at a UFO Conference About Their Alien Encounters
"My first abduction experience happened in the womb because my mom was abducted."
Brian McManus
Jun 7 2018, 11:06am
December 16, 2017 is a date that looms large for believers in and enthusiasts of UFOs and the paranormal. On it the New York Times published a story, "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program," which featured a video snippet taken from a camera attached to a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet of an unknown object. Though less than a minute long, it and the accompanying article that laid forth the government's heretofore-secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program validated long-held beliefs of those in the UFO and alien communities, and made them feel less marginalized. Finally, they could say with pride, "We are not alone."

When Bad Things Happen in Slow Motion
Is there more to our experience of time than the foibles of memory?
By Ivan Amato
June 7, 2018
Nothing focuses the mind like a moment of peril. John Hockenberry, the heavily-decorated journalist and commentator, had one of those nearly four decades ago. Yet it has never left him, and it always plays out in his memory, as he puts it, “in super slo-mo.”
“About 38 years ago, I was on a road in Pennsylvania. I was sleeping in the back of a car. I woke up. The driver of the car was also asleep,” Hockenberry recounted from his wheelchair in early June at this year’s World Science Festival in New York as he opened up a panel discussion on time perception.“ The car was veering off the road. The passenger next to her reached over very slowly, it seemed, grabbed the wheel, and pulled that wheel as hard as she could … and the car veers to the right. And very slowly we hit the guardrail, the car flips into the air, and I can feel in my gut that all of life is going to change.”
Retired fire chief Richard Gasaway refers to this apparent slowing down of time in tense situations as tachypsychia, which roughly translates as “fast mind.” “This phenomenon afflicts many first responders,” Gasaway claims, based on hundreds of interviews he has conducted for his research, blog, and speaking engagements on “situational awareness.” Bolstered also by what he judges to be personal experiences of tachypsychia, Gasaway has come to consider it as a sometime component of the overall stress response. For first responders, the phenomenon is dangerous, he says, because it can warp situational awareness and decision-making processes.
But is tachypsychia real, or an illusion? David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine set out to answer this question with a test. Together with his colleagues, he developed a wristwatch-like “perceptual chronometer” that alternately displays red digits and their negative images (a red background with unlit pixels in the shape of the digits) at rates faster than a threshold at which the toggling images fuse into what appears to be a uniform patch. This threshold is called a critical fusion frequency, or CFF. Eagleman hypothesized that if he could terrify people while they were looking at the chronometer, then their CFF would spike, they would switch into slow-motion perception mode, and they would suddenly be able to discern the digits on the chronometer.
The frequent report by schizophrenics of hearing voices might amount to a rational interpretation of their subjective, temporally-dysfunctional experience.
To carry out the tests, Eagleman took 20 people to the Zero Gravity Thrill Amusement Park in Dallas. There he strapped them into the Suspended Catch Air Device of the 16-story-high “Nothin’ but Net” ride, in which the chronometer-wearing participants would free fall 31 meters before landing in a net. The participants were tasked to keep an eye on their chronometer during their jaw-clenching, 2.5 second drop. One participant squeezed her eyes shut the entire time and so she yielded no data.
The data from the other participants made it clear: No one could discern the digits during their free falls. But, when asked after the fact to estimate the duration of their own falls (by replaying their experience in their minds and with a stopwatch in hand), the participants recorded, on average, that their drop lasted about a third longer than the drops of others they had witnessed as at-ease spectators. Eagleman concluded the subjective experience of time slowing down under harrowing circumstances is an artifact of memory, not an actual trait of real-time perception. In short, time was not slowing down for anybody.1
“Under normal circumstances, most of the stuff flowing through your sensorium, you don’t remember,” Eagleman explained. “What happens in a life-threatening situation is that everything gets written down. Everything is retained in memory.” Because the brain is not used to memory of such density, he continued, “the brain’s interpretation is that the whole thing must have gone more slowly.”

The Swamp Still Needs to Be DrainedJudicial Watch Uncovers Hidden Strzok Emails in Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Documents
This is just too rich. We now have emails from notorious anti-Trump, pro-Hillary Clinton FBI officials who seem to confirm that James Comey and Loretta Lynch decided to let Hillary Clinton ride on her email abuses before she was even interviewed by the FBI.
The disclosure is found in 16 pages of FBI documents related to the infamous June 2016 tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton.
The FBI originally informed us it could not locate any records related to the tarmac meeting. However, in a related FOIA lawsuit, the Justice Department located emails in which Justice Department officials communicated with the FBI and wrote that they had communicated with the FBI. As a result, by letter dated August 10, 2017, the FBI stated, “Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist. As a result, your [FOIA] request has been reopened …” This is the second batch of documents the FBI produced since telling us they had no tarmac-related records. So this makes two cover-ups!
We obtained the documents in response to our October 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)) filed after the Justice Department failed to comply with our July 7, 2016, FOIA request for:
All FD-302 forms prepared pursuant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her tenure.
All records of communications between any agent, employee, or representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding, concerning, or related to the aforementioned investigation. This request includes, but is not limited to, any related communications with any official, employee, or representative of the Department of Justice, the Executive Office of the President, the Democratic National Committee, and/or the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.
All records related to the meeting between Attorney General Lynch and former President Bill Clinton on June 27, 2016.
In a previously unseen email, on July 1, 2016, Strzok forwarded to Bill Priestap, assistant director of FBI counterintelligence, and other FBI officials an article in The New York Times titled, “Lynch to Remove Herself From Decision Over Clinton Emails, Official Says.” Priestap comments on it, saying: “The meeting in PX is all over CNN TV news this morning …” Strzok replies: “Timing’s not ideal in that it falsely adds to those seeking the ‘this is all choreographed’ narrative. But I don’t think it’s worth changing … later won’t be better.” Priestap responds: “Agreed.”
In November 2017, we revealed 29 pages of FBI documents showing officials were concerned about a leak that Bill Clinton delayed his aircraft taking off in order to “maneuver” a meeting with the attorney general. The resulting story in the Observer was discussed in this production of documents. The Strzok email was absent from this production.
Another Strzok email suggest the decision on the Clinton email matter has been under discussion since April 2016—three months before then-FBI Director James Comey announced he would recommend no prosecution.
On July 3, 2016, in an email with the subject line “Must Read Security Article” someone from the FBI's Security Division (SECD) forwards the article in the Observer and reveals concern:
"I believe that the source quoted in the article is one of the local Phoenix LEO’s [law enforcement officers]. Needless to say that I have contacted the Phoenix office and will contact the local’s [sic] who assisted in an attempt to stem any further damage. This is exactly why our Discretion and Judgement are the foundation of the AG’s trust in our team, which is why we can never violate that trust, like the source did in this article.”
In a July 1, 2016, email from an unidentified official in the FBI Security Division sent to officials in several FBI offices with the subject line “Media Reports***Not for Dissemination***”, sent in the wake of the tarmac meeting, an FBI official warns his colleagues “Our job is to protect the boss from harm and embarrassment.” [Emphasis in original] He emphasizes that FBI officials should ask themselves: “What issues are currently being reported in the media? And what actions/interactions/situations that the Director may be in could impact them.” The official then cites an example of a public relations disaster near-miss when Comey’s plane “literally just missed Clinton’s plane” when they flew into the White Plains, NY, airport (HPN) a few months earlier, and saying, “Imagine the optics and the awkward situation we would have put the Director in we would have been at the FBO at the same time as Secretary Clinton.”
In a July 1, 2016, email exchange, FBI Section Chief Rachel Rojas warns a colleague to “stay away” from discussion of the Clinton Lynch tarmac meeting following publication of the meeting, unless they hear from a “higher up”. The colleague responds the next day, telling Rojas not to worry because, “I know better <winking.>” He/she adds that “it was DOJ opa [Office of Public Affairs] who threw us under the bus.” Rojas replies “Doj is likely overwhelmed so in [sic] hoping it wasn’t intentional. I know it wasn’t you guys because I know you have great judgement. Nothing good would come from that. Her staff should have avoided that scenario. The bu[reau] will be fine but obviously disappointed on how this is happening. Unfortunately, she’s taking heat from all over the place and I feel bad for her. I know she didn’t want this on her plate or for this to happen.” The colleague then concludes by saying that he/she thought the leaker was “a Phoenix cop assisting with the motorcade.”
These emails are simply astonishing. No wonder the FBI hid them from the court and us. They show anti-Trump, pro-Clinton FBI Agent Peter Strzok admitting the decision not to prosecute the Clinton email issue was made back in April 2016 – long before Hillary Clinton was interviewed. And the new emails show that the FBI security had the political objective of protecting then-Director Comey from ‘embarrassment’—which is, frankly, disturbing.
Here’s additional background: On June 27, 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with former President Bill Clinton on board a parked plane at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting occurred during the then-ongoing investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s email server, and only a few days before she was interviewed the Justice Department and FBI. (We filed a request on June 30 that the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General investigate that meeting).
The tarmac meeting also came just days before former FBI Director James Comey held the July 5, 2016, press conference in which he announced that no charges would be filed against Mrs. Clinton. In his subsequent May 3, 2017, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Comey said the Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting was the “capper” among “a number of things” that had caused him to determine that Department of Justice leadership “could not credibly complete the investigation and decline prosecution without grievous damage to the American people’s confidence in the justice system.”
These latest documents are more evidence that the arrogant FBI assumed its secrets would never see the light of day. Judicial Watch proved them wrong.
Court Hearing Ordered for Our Suit Seeking DOJ Fusion GPS Records
Piece by piece we’re dismantling the Rube Goldberg conspiracy to take down a president. At every step the Justice Department is putting up roadblocks, an indication that the Deep State is still alive and well and now being accommodated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Here’s a piece of our effort. A federal court ordered a hearing for next week for in our lawsuit for communications of the Office of the Attorney General with Nellie Ohr, the wife of former Senior DOJ Official Bruce Ohr, who was critical to the Clinton/DNC dossier authored by Christopher Steele (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No.1:18-cv-00491)). The suit is before U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton.
Outrageously, the Justice Department is resisting our request to search Attorney General Sessions’ office and otherwise is stonewalling searching for and releasing records.
We filed the lawsuit on March 1, 2018, after the DOJ failed to respond to a December 12, 2017, FOIA request seeking:
All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats, between DOJ officials in the Attorney General’s Office and Fusion GPS employee or contractor Nellie Ohr.
In December 2017, Bruce Ohr was removed from his position as U.S. Associate Deputy Attorney General after it was revealed he conducted undisclosed meetings with dossier author Christopher Steel and Glenn Simpson, principal of Fusion GPS.
A House Intelligence Committee memo released by Chairman Devin Nunes on February 2 notes that Nellie Ohr was “employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump” and that Bruce Ohr passed the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI.
The Ohr scandal is bad enough, but it beyond belief we have to battle the Sessions DOJ in federal court for basic information about this Spygate-related scandal.

Custers last strand! 
Custer’s hair sells for $12.5K at auction
By Dean Balsamini
June 9, 2018 | 3:55pm
It’s Custer’s last strand.
A lock of the controversial calvary commander’s golden mane sold at auction on Saturday for $12,500.
Swashbuckling boy Gen. George Armstrong Custer was known as much for his colossal mustache and curly blonde coif as he was for his exploits on the battlefield.
Custer got his mop trimmed by a barber in 1864, a year after he became the youngest general in the Union Army at age 23 and 12 years before his disastrous decisions led the 7th Calvary to slaughter at the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Good morning 
Engineering News-Record
June 10, 2018
Brian Brenner
A 1969 encounter with an Unidentified Flying Object has recently been designated as an official historic event. More about that later, but first, let’s start with the bridge.
In Sheffield, Massachusetts, the Old Covered Bridge, which is a rebuilt old covered bridge, spans the Housatonic River just off US Route 7, north of the village center.
The bridge site is beautiful and idyllic. Sheffield is a small village in the Berkshire hills, about 10 miles south of the larger town of Great Barrington. Route 7 is a long country route that extends south to Danbury and north through Vermont to the Canadian border. Almost every mile is magnificent, with some jaw-dropping scenery that traverses a pastiche of rolling green hills, small mountains, fields with rock walls, and quaint New England villages. The road is beautiful in all seasons. But in mid-October, the route looks transcendent. The sky becomes sharp blue and the leaves take on a glowing orange hue that can appear unworldly, as if you are on the plains of Mars and not western Massachusetts.
The Sheffield bridge was originally built in 1837, using timber Town lattice trusses. The trusses have closely spaced members that form the lattice. The structure was one of the earliest examples of this particular structural bridge type. The river is not very wide at the crossing, almost more like a wide stream than a river. The bridge spans 91 feet.
Sadly, teenagers set fire to the bridge in 1994. It was rebuilt from the original plans in 1996. One of the two original stone block abutments remain in use. Otherwise, everything at the site is replicated from the original structure.
Pedestrians are allowed on the bridge today, but vehicular access is blocked by bollards. The approach road to the east provides space for a small park. Fifty years ago, the old bridge was still in use for vehicular traffic. On September 1, 1969, 9-year-old Thom Reed drove with his mother, brother and grandmother across the bridge. After crossing, they saw a bright light rising out of the Housatonic River. Soon after that, Mr. Reed remembers being taken from his family’s car to large building that looked like an airplane hanger. Large, insect-like creatures walked around the building. Mr. Reed ended up in a room in the building, and then he remembers being back in the car with his family shortly after that. Apparently, everyone was seated in a different spot in the station wagon. Mr. Reed thought that the ordeal seemed to last a few minutes, but in reality, two hours had passed. That night, dozens of Berkshire residents called a local radio station to report unusual lights and loud noises. Several had spotted a saucer-shaped aircraft hovering in the sky.
In 2015, the Great Barrington Historical Society voted to recognize the 1969 encounter as an official historic event. The vote was not unanimous and some members strongly opposed this designation. However, the group’s consensus view was that encounter was independently documented by many viewers, both at the bridge and in several surrounding towns. So, whether one believed in UFOs or not, clearly a notable event occurred on that date and the Society saw fit to acknowledge at least that fact. Over the years, the 1969 incident has been the subject of publications and TV shows. It is considered by some to be one of the most credible UFO sightings.
Private donations were arranged for a park on the east bank of the covered bridge, and a granite marker was placed in 2017 along with some benches. Mr. Reed assisted with development of the park. A website with more information can be found here.
More recently, objections have been raised to the placement of the large granite marker. The objections are separate from debates about extraterrestrial visits and are based on more terrestrial concerns. The Town of Sheffield requires that public land not be used private functions. The site of the UFO park was thought to be on privately-owned farmland. The location had been discussed with the Town and initially confirmed to be acceptable. But then a survey indicated that the site was, in fact, on town-owned land. Per Town ordinance, public land could not be used for a private installation, regardless of the merit of the private use. So, at this time, the UFO park appears to be embroiled in an earth-bound dispute.
In 1969, I was about the same age as Mr. Reed. My grandparents owned a cabin in nearby Monterey, and they would drive to Sheffield to go to antique stores on Route 7. During my summer visits, we would travel along the remote and bucolic back roads to arrive at the river crossing. We did not see any UFOs. But even then, I was fascinated by bridges, and crossing the covered bridge was a highlight of the trip for me. In 1969, and even today, the area away from the village is isolated, especially along the ridge of the hills. If aliens decided to visit, you could imagine how they might blend in at night with no one being the wiser. In the Berkshire woods, the sky is still dark and the terrain can be very remote.
