Project Open Mind
by Katharina Wilson ©1996
Part ThreeThe MessengersThis section is designed to provide the reader with general information about the authors whose references and information I used in the first part of Project Open Mind. I was not always able to obtain personal information about the authors and in those cases, I included more information about their books or research instead. Bain, Donald. The Control of Candy Jones. Chicago, Illinois: Playboy Press, (Distributed by Simon & Schuster, Inc. New York) 1976. Jacket Highlights - "Beautiful and talented, Candy Jones was America's leading model of the Forties and Fifties. In one month, she was on the cover of 11 magazines and featured in a smash Broadway play. Then she fell on hard times. In 1960, she relates, she was financially receptive to a CIA approach that she act as a courier. She asserts that she served the agency for 12 years. This is Candy's own story of those tumultuous years, recreated from tapes made while she was under deep hypnosis....It was while under hypnosis that Candy told of being used as a human guinea pig in a CIA mind-control program. This chilling story was drawn from over 200 hours of tapes recorded during Candy's trances." "Under hypnosis, Candy relates how a CIA physician split her psyche into two distinct personalities, giving him two women within one body to do his bidding. She tells of traveling to Taiwan where she was physically tortured; of being put on display at the agency's headquarters; of being driven to the brink of suicide during an attempt to silence her....recent disclosures of CIA mind-control experiments make her story undeniably plausible...."
Bamford, James. The Puzzle Palace. Sidgwick and Jackson: London, 1983. From Timothy Good's Above Top Secret, page 416: "In 1982 a sensational book by James Bamford, The Puzzle Palace, revealed a wealth of hitherto secret information about the NSA - an agency so secret that it was sometimes referred to as "No Such Agency." Although Bamford's book did not mention UFOs, if you want more information about the NSA and their involvement with UFOs, I highly recommend that you read Timothy Good's Above Top Secret.
Begich, Nicholas J. and Jeane Manning. Angels Don't Play This HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology. Homer, Alaska: Earthpulse Press, 1995. From HAARP: "Dr. Nick Begich, eldest son of the late United States Congressman from Alaska, Nick Begich Sr., and political activist Pegge Begich, is known in Alaska for his own activities. He is a past-president of the Alaska Federation of Teachers and the Anchorage Council of Education. He has been pursuing independent research in the sciences and politics for most of his adult life. He received his doctorate in traditional medicine from The Open International University for Complementary Medicines in November 1994. He wrote the first major story on the HAARP project, published in October, 1994, in Nexus, an international magazine based in Australia. His research files on the project and related technologies include more than 400 documents spanning eighty years of technological developments." "Jeane Manning is an experienced magazine journalist, reporter for daily newspapers and former editor of a community newspaper. A decade of researching non-conventional electrical energy technologies will culminate in her book The Coming Energy Revolution (Avery Publishing Group, NY, 1996). She is co-author of a 1994 book published by Auckland Institute of Technology Press, New Zealand, Suppressed Inventions and other Discoveries. Having been born in Cordova, Alaska, she tracked HAARP with deep interest. She now lives in Vancouver, Canada." "The U.S. Government has a new ground-based "Star Wars" weapon which is being tested in the remote bush country of Alaska. This new system manipulates the environment in a way which can: 1) Disrupt human mental processes, 2) Jam all global communications systems, 3) Change weather patterns over large areas, 4) Interfere with wildlife migration patterns, 5) Negatively affect your health, and 6) Unnaturally impact Earth's upper atmosphere."

An expanded and revised edition of Operation Mind Control is now available: P.O. Box 35072, Tucson, Arizona, 85740; freethot@juno.com. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in the subject of mind control to read Operation Mind Control.
Cannon, Martin. The Controllers: A New Hypothesis of Alien Abduction. In 1989 Martin Cannon came forward with a bold new hypothesis for alien abduction: "The 'UFO abduction' phenomenon might be a continuation of clandestine mind control operations." Martin Cannon continues, "I recognize the difficulties this thesis might present to those readers emotionally wedded to the extraterrestrial hypothesis, or to those whose political 'weltanshauung' disallows any such suspicions. Still, the open-minded student of abductions should consider the possibilities." Many people have recommended The Controllers to me as a positive contribution that includes many new possibilities concerning the alien abduction phenomenon. Martin Cannon's monograph can be found in the "Archives Section" at http://members.gnn.com/fivestring

Lammer, Helmut: Dr. Lammer is a scientist with the Austrian Space Research Institute. He is the Austrian representative for the Mutual UFO Network and a member of the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE). Dr. Lammer has written two books previously. He co-authored UFO Secrecy with Oliver Sidla (Herbig: Munich) in 1995. UFO Secrecy covers information about the world wide UFO cover-up, including: recovered saucers, animal mutilations, abductions and secret documents. The book's Foreword is written by Illobrand v. Ludwiger, a theoretical physicist and the director of MUFON-CES. Dr. Lammer's second book was also co-authored by Oliver Sidla. It is titled UFO-Close Encounters. (Herbig, Munich, 1996). The Foreword for UFO-Close Encounters is written by Jacques Valle. The book covers information about verifiable UFO events, physical effects, military encounters, radar signals, and photo and video analysis. I have included Dr. Lammer in this section because he will soon be publishing his third book which will cover alien abductions, mind control experiments and high-tech weapons. It is scheduled to be published in the Autumn of 1997. His current working title is Psychotronics. Although his book will be published in German, I have invited Dr. Lammer to write a synopsis for us (in English) and I will post it to my web site this Winter '96. Hopefully his work will gain recognition in the United States and will eventually be published in English. I am very grateful to Dr. Lammer for sending me a copy of Cybergods, information about the Carp case and several collections of writings relating to the subject of mind control. His many questions about my case are what initiated my investigation into the subject of mind control. If you believe that you have had involvement with the alien/military-government subject that is covered in Project Open Mind, please write to: Dr. Helmut Lammer, MUFON-CES, Postfach 76, A-8600 Bruck/Mur, Austria.

Bruce Shlain is a Hopwood award winner whose articles have appeared in Mother Jones and the Dictionary of Literary Biography. He currently writes for television and film." "Few events have had a more profound impact on the upheavals of the sixties than the psychedelic revolution spawned by the spread of LSD. Here is the full astounding story - part of it hidden in secret Government files - of the role the mind-altering drug played in our turbulent history and its continuing influence today." "Acid Dreams is the complete social history of the psychedelic counter-culture that burst into full view in the Sixties. The authors reveal how the CIA became obsessed with LSD during the Cold War until the drug spread into popular culture." Cybergods is a representation of the significantly more extensive Computer-Brain Report. The following is a statement printed at the end of the Cybergods pamphlet: "The case studies and the x-ray evidence in this paper are just a small part of the material [showing] that the police in remand centres and psychiatrists in mental hospitals put internees under sedation to facilitate the implantation of radio-transmitting materials in their head and brains. There is also a more comprehensive study which shows that surgeons implant these objects in patients during operations. We who have participated in the investigations are not only releasing all the material to public disposal, but are also offering to give lectures and take part in radio and television programs, or anything else which is suggested."
Lindqvist, Lennart, Evamarie Taylor and Robert Naeslund
participated in the investigation for the material contained
in Cybergods. Grupen, Box 136, 114 79, Stockholm,

Rowell, Keith. "Keith's Oregonian Articles." Keith Rowell laboriously retyped about 40 stories covering UFO sightings that occurred from June 26, 1947 to July 9, 1947. The stories were taken from The Oregonian, and a now defunct daily, The Oregon Journal. The Oregonian today, as it was then, is the major daily newspaper in Oregon, published in Portland. Most of the stories are from The Oregonian with a few from The Oregon Journal. Keith is relatively certain that these are all of the UFO stories from The Oregonian for this time frame. Keith Rowell is a veteran researcher of government secrecy and the UFO phenomenon. It is from his private library that I was able to obtain most of the references I used for this article. Always eager to educate those willing to keep an open mind, Keith generously loaned me a stack of books to get me started in my new quest for answers. He was also very helpful in editing my book, The Alien Jigsaw and I am very grateful for his generosity. Mr. Rowell holds a masters degree in library science from the University of California at Berkeley. He is a former MUFON investigator and member of the Portland UFO Group. He joined the board of directors when the group reorganized as The Northwest UFO Group in 1991, and served as co-director during 1995 and 1996. Keith is now volunteering his time (between work and family) to assist our local MUFON organization.

Spanos, Nicholas P., Patricia A. Cross, Kirby Dickson, and Susan D. DuBreuil. "Close Encounters: An Examination of UFO Experiences." Journal of Abnormal Psychology 102 (1993): 624-631. Abstract: "Ss (subjects) who reported UFO experiences were divided into those whose experiences were non intense (e.g., seeing lights and shapes in the sky) and those whose experiences were intense (e.g., seeing and communicating with aliens or missing time). On a battery of objective tests Ss in these 2 groups did not score as more psychopathological, less intelligent, or more fantasy prone and hypnotizable than a community comparison group or a student comparison group. However, Ss in the UFO groups believed more strongly in space alien visitation than did comparison Ss. The UFO experiences of Ss in the intense group were more frequently sleep-related than the experiences of Ss in the non-intense group. Among the combined UFO Ss, intensity of UFO experiences correlated significantly with inventories that assessed proneness toward fantasy and unusual sensory experiences. Implications are discussed."
Turner, Karla. Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda. Roland, Arkansas: Kelt Works, 1994.

Wilson, Katharina. The Alien Jigsaw. Portland, Oregon: Puzzle Publishing, 1993, and The Alien Jigsaw Researcher's Supplement, 1994. In 1987, Katharina Wilson read her first book about the UFO phenomenon titled Intruders by Budd Hopkins. Her memories prompted her to fill out the Omni magazine questionnaire titled "Hidden Memories: Are You an Abductee?" In response to the questionnaire and other information sent to him [parts of her journal that she began in 1983] Budd Hopkins conducted a telephone interview with Katharina, followed by subsequent investigation and two regressive hypnosis sessions in 1988. This was followed by an investigation by MUFON. Shortly thereafter she began working with [the late] Dan C. Overlade, Ph.D. He was a clinical and forensic psychologist with over thirty years experience, and a MUFON consultant. Ms. Wilson had three sightings of unidentified flying objects in 1988. Two involved a boomerang-shaped craft and the other involved six, brilliant white lights. The following year she joined the Mutual UFO Network and became a field investigator trainee, and later a MUFON State Section Director. Katharina Wilson has a degree in music and a background in psychology. She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and was the editor for Oregon MUFON's The Oregon Observer for 1995 and 1996. Katharina continues to research and write about the UFO-alien abduction phenomenon. # # # This completes Part Three of Project Open Mind. The following section, Part Four, contains the "Notes" for the preceding sections. The second half of Project Open Mind will begin with Part Five and will cover specific abduction related information from my books and unpublished journals. I plan to have it posted December 1, 1996. ©1993-1996 Katharina Wilson. All Rights Reserved. Puzzle Publishing, PO Box 230023, Portland, Oregon, 97281-0023, USA.
