UFOs and the Paranormal with John B. Alexander

Dr. John Alexander, PhD, is a retired U.S. Army Colonel. He is author of The Warrior’s Edge, Future War, and UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities. He has served as a consultant to the National Intelligence Council, the CIA, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the Army Science Board.

Here he shares information about a UFO sighting he experienced. He was with a contactee at the time, who predicted the sighting moments before it occurred. He also discusses related paranormal experiences, including an instance in which he observed his wife, Victoria, enter into a powerful state of spirit possession while attending an Umbanda ceremony in Curitiba, Brazil. Much of the discussion focuses on the difficulty (and necessity) of distinguishing between factual information and misinformation in both the UFO and paranormal fields.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
