Historically, Stanford researcher Garry Nolan provocatively suggested that private defense firms might possess extraterrestrial materials to evade governmental scrutiny. Recently, whistleblower David Grusch echoed these extraordinary claims in front of Congress.

Former leaders of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, the hub for cutting-edge aviation technology, have expressed beliefs in the paranormal. Notably, Clarence Kelly Johnson, a key figure at Lockheed, claimed to have witnessed a UFO in Southern California in 1953.

Johnson was instrumental in designing the U-2 spy plane, which transformed Cold War intelligence operations by flying at altitudes exceeding 70,000 feet.

Around the time of Johnson’s UFO sighting, a Lockheed test team reported seeing a strange object flying over Los Angeles. Later, in 2011, an aerospace engineer and former NASA Jet Propulsion Lab employee recalled Skunk Works director Ben Rich's comments about advanced travel technologies:

“Currently, we possess the technology to traverse the stars, but these advancements are confined to classified projects, and it would require a miracle to release them for humanity's benefit. Anything imaginable is already within our grasp.”

Rich also emphasized, “We can return ET home. It doesn’t require a lifetime to achieve. There’s a mistake in the equations, and we understand it. We’re capable of star travel, but we must develop new propulsion methods beyond chemical propulsion. We need to uncover where Einstein erred.”

When queried about UFO propulsion mechanisms, Rich intriguingly posed, “How does ESP function?” Upon receiving the response, “All points in time and space are interconnected,” he affirmed, “That’s precisely how it operates!”

Quantum physics may lend credence to this ancient yet extraordinary spiritual concept. A CalTech article on quantum entanglement, the alma mater of psychedelic researcher Jack Parsons, who co-founded NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, explains:

“Entanglement lies at the core of quantum physics and future quantum technologies. Like other facets of quantum science, entanglement manifests at incredibly small, subatomic levels. When two particles, such as photons or electrons, become entangled, they maintain their connection despite vast separations.”

While two particles can become entangled outside the confines of space and time, could the same be true for human consciousness? Can awareness transcend the limits set by Einstein’s fourth dimension?

As electrical signals traverse the 200 billion neurons in the human brain, these impulses might extend beyond the physical body. Nikola Tesla, the electromagnetic pioneer, once stated:

“My brain acts merely as a receiver. There exists a core in the universe from which we derive knowledge, strength, and inspiration.”

After creating the first radio devices in 1901, Tesla reported unusual pulses that could not be explained by natural causes. In a 1901 article for Collier’s Weekly, he recounted:

“I can never forget the initial sensations when it dawned on me that I had witnessed something potentially monumental for humanity… Eventually, I speculated that the disturbances I detected could be attributed to intelligent control. While their significance eluded me, I felt certain they were not entirely coincidental. The sensation is growing that I may have been the first to hear one planet greeting another.”

Guglielmo Marconi, the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the wireless telegraph, reported a strikingly similar phenomenon. In a 1920 newspaper article archived by the Library of Congress, he noted:

“During my wireless telegraphy experiments, I encountered an astonishing phenomenon… I have personally received signals that I believe originated from beyond our planet. I consider it entirely possible these signals were sent by extraterrestrial beings to Earth’s inhabitants.”

Innovators like Tesla, Marconi, and Edison introduced remarkable technologies that astonished the world a century ago. In response to Marconi’s claims, Edison said publicly:

“While I’m not an expert in wireless telegraphy, it’s evident to me that the mysterious interruptions experienced by Mr. Marconi’s operators could support the theory that inhabitants of other planets are attempting to communicate with us… Mr. Marconi is correct that this is entirely within the realm of possibility.”

Did any of these technological advancements draw inspiration from psychoactive substances? Tesla, in his autobiography, disclosed he was an avid tobacco user, akin to other prominent figures like Einstein and Oppenheimer. Edison, on the other hand, favored Via Mariani, a potent wine infused with cocaine.

This coca wine was even promoted by the Pope for its ability to “rapidly restore health, strength, energy, and vitality.” It was favored by notable figures, including President Ulysses S. Grant and a French prime minister, while Edison claimed it helped him work late into the night.

Both Tesla and Marconi were on the verge of developing some form of virtual death ray. PBS once reported on Tesla’s controversial missing documents:

“One contentious topic surrounding Nikola Tesla is the fate of many of his technical and scientific papers following his death in 1943. Just before his demise during World War II, he asserted he had perfected a so-called death beam. Consequently, the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies expressed interest in any scientific concepts related to weaponry.”

PBS further noted that Donald Trump’s uncle reviewed Tesla’s seized research:

“… Two days after Tesla’s passing, officials from the Office of Alien Property entered his room at the New Yorker Hotel and confiscated all his belongings.”

Dr. John G. Trump, an electrical engineer associated with the National Defense Research Committee, was summoned to analyze Tesla’s documents.

These papers subsequently vanished and were never seen again. Publicly, Tesla’s death ray has not materialized.

A 2022 Wall Street Journal article may validate its existence through a peculiar phenomenon known as Havana Syndrome:

“Initially, investigators suspected the syndrome resulted from a sonic or acoustic weapon attack. A subsequent review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine identified pulsed radio-frequency energy as the most probable cause. An evaluation at the University of Pennsylvania of the brains of 40 affected individuals revealed some signs of brain abnormalities.”

Garry Nolan, a Stanford scientist studying individuals who report UFO experiences, noted significant similarities with patients suffering from Havana Syndrome. This supernatural connection was corroborated by mainstream media when ABC News reported on the syndrome in March 2023:

“An intelligence official familiar with the investigation stated that no stone was left unturned, even examining Unidentified Aerial Phenomena as potential causes.”

The legendary Italian inventor Marconi has been rumored to have developed a comparable weapon. An Italian researcher recounted how:

“Rachele Mussolini, wife of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, mentioned in her biography how her car was disabled by a paralyzing ray patented by Marconi. Esteemed historians typically regard this and similar claims as mere fabrications crafted by fascist propaganda to project an image of strength for Italy.”

In a more recent astonishing claim, military whistleblower David Grusch testified before Congress that the U.S. has been in possession of non-human technology for decades. In a News Nation interview preceding the sensational Congressional hearing, Grusch referenced a purported UFO crash in 1930s fascist Italy (near Marconi's era).

Newsweek further covered this otherworldly assertion:

“There’s increasing pressure on the Vatican to clarify its awareness of a UFO retrieval from Italy during the 1930s, amid a flurry of claims regarding the U.S. government’s knowledge and management of extraterrestrial contact.”

This follows Grusch's assertions, a U.S. Air Force veteran who previously worked at the National Reconnaissance Office on UFOs, in a June interview stating that an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) was retrieved from Magenta, a town near Milan, in 1933, later becoming U.S. property with the assistance of the papal state.

As we explore electromagnetic weapons, UFOs, and psychic phenomena, what is the scientific basis for supernatural technologies? As Tesla posited — consciousness might transmit beyond the constraints of space and time. Prehistoric, shamanic, and psychoactive catalysts might hold the key to scientific understanding.
