lucidity. In interview sessions wherein the contactee has been
hypnotically regressed to the time of contact, he begins his entranced re-
creation of the experience in normal hypnotic voice trance patterns.
When he reaches the time when the message was relayed to him
(usually after the mental and physical examination) his voice and
manner changes, even under hypnotic trance and he recites, rather than
recalls, the dogma which saucer people have relayed to him.3
I recognized this description of the contactees manner when speaking as
messengers for alleged UFOnauts as being similar to the style of speaking
used by all of the telepathic receivers that I had investigated. Another
extremely apt description of this telepathic contact is found in John Fuller s
book, INTERRUPTED JOURNEY. Included in this volume is a great deal
of directly transcribed and quoted material from the file of Betty and Barney
Hill. They had gone to a psychiatrist with anxiety problems. The doctor had
performed time regression hypnosis on both of them, and uncovered an
alleged contact with the UFO people. When Barney was asked to recall the
language used by the UFOnaut, Barney stated that the being did not speak
to him by word, but told him what to do by the alien s thoughts making his
thoughts understand. When the psychiatrist asked Barney if this was some
kind of mental telepathy, Barney said that he did not know the definition of
the word telepathy. Yet he described its process quite well.
It seemed to me to be rather an exaggeration of scientific caution to declare,
as so many did, that all of the people who claimed this telepathic
communication were suffering from identical forms of mental aberration.
The more appropriate response seemed to me to be to attempt to check this
common denominator out.
For this reason, I set up a control group of people whose sanity and habitual
veracity I could vouch for, and proceeded to expose them to conditions
which allegedly would produce UFO contact. The instructions, of course,

had come from an alleged UFO source which I had come across several
times in my research.
Since 1962, I have worked with over 100 of these human guinea pigs who
were successful in mentally receiving what I believe to be messages from
UFOs.
The data collected through these telepathic receivers created a problem in
evaluation. I had originally hoped to be able to extract material of a
scientifically evidential nature from these experiments, but soon after the
start of the experiment, I realized that rigorous analytical control was not
possible. Telepathy itself is still proving extremely difficult to investigate
scientifically, when the receiver and the sender both can be monitored
exhaustively. And, needless to say, if we could put our hands on the UFO
senders to test them, we would have our experiment s end.
Yet it was possible to produce an unending supply of data. So I simply chose
to generate a great deal of data, figuring that it was a mistake to expect
material of this nature to fit any preconceived notion that I might have had.
After carrying on this experiment for over 13 years, I now feel that I can
make the following statement: The information claimed to be received by
numerous UFO contactees can be duplicated in a controlled situation.
For example, in numerous instances, I have been able to produce the
telepathic contact in people who have no previous knowledge of UFO
literature. In each case the message which they receive has correlated in its
content to a very high degree with other UFO contactees messages. The
results of this experiment indicate to me that we should take a very close
look at this UFO contactee information. It is my belief that within this
information is the key to creating a much more direct contact with the
elusive UFO phenomenon.
When I work with Uri Geller, the results we achieve with telepathic
experiments are remarkably good.

Geller s drawing My response
Many professional magicians have stated that Geller is actually a very clever
trickster with no special mental ability. It seems that few of them have
applied the scientific method of repeated experiment to determine his
ability.
I found that, for my own edification, the most conclusive tests were those
performed in a random fashion during the normal daily routine, completely
unannounced. That is, Uri did not know that I was testing his telepathic
ability as we carried on a normal conversation during the day. The result:
for me, there is no doubt that Uri Geller is a first-class telepathic sender and
receiver.
Telepathy is not a difficult technique to learn. I am convinced that it is a
basic form of communication that our civilization has forgotten due to lack
of use. It is analogous to the ability to do one-arm pushups. Anyone can do
them, with enough practice and conditioning.
Most of us can show evidence of a telepathic muscle, since we ve usually
had experiences of starting to talk about a subject simultaneously with a
close acquaintance.
Telepathic communication is very similar to radio communication. If you
