The Making of a Paranormal Investigator 

Robert Bigelow

June 05th, 2023

01:12:26

Robert Bigelow is founder of Bigelow Aerospace as well as the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies. For over twenty years he owned and conducted research at the Skinwalker Ranch. He has been a major funder of paranormal research endeavors. Here he discusses his childhood and early life as well as his initial research efforts regarding UFOs and paranormal manifestations.


ABOUT Robert Bigelow

Longtime entrepreneur Robert T. Bigelow is the Founder and President of Bigelow Aerospace, LLC, and has personally provided all financial support for the company, totaling over $350 million to date. In addition, Mr. Bigelow provides the daily strategic leadership at Bigelow Aerospace in its design, development, and testing of expandable habitat architectures, and serves as the program manager of the B330 spacecraft – Bigelow Aerospace’s main habitation system for low Earth orbit and beyond low Earth orbit destinations. Robert Bigelow is an experienced general contractor, designer, developer, financier, buyer and manager of many large real estate projects in the U.S. Over the last seventeen years, Mr. Bigelow has earned over twenty patents, launched three prototype spacecraft, partnered with NASA on several contracts, built the necessary facilities to design and fabricate expandable habitat technology, and has advocated for a sustainable commercial space economy.

In 1996, Bigelow bought a 480-acre ranch in Utah from a family who had reported experiencing a frightening range of paranormal incidents, including cattle mutilations, unexplained lights in the sky, and objects that moved on their own. Bigelow now maintains this as what he calls a “living laboratory,” with a perimeter patrolled around the clock by armed guards. In 1997, Bigelow provided $3.7 million to the University of Nevada at Las Vegas to start a Consciousness Studies program with the aim, he says, of establishing “whether there is a survival of your consciousness beyond your bodily death.” Today, the FAA directs all new reports of UFO sightings to another Bigelow-funded organization, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, of which he is operating manager. Bigelow is unequivocal about the evidence he’s accumulated over the years: He’s convinced of the existence of extraterrestrial life. If the company fulfills its current plans, Bigelow Aerospace will be managing its first property on the moon within a decade.

Ray Stanford is known for his work in UFOlogy and paleontology. He has also had a career as a trance channel and psychic reader. With his identical twin brother, parapsychologist Rex Stanford, he co-authored a book about their early UFO experiences titled Look Up. He is also author of The Spirit Unto the Churches, Speak Shining Stranger, Socorro Saucer, and Fatima Prophecy. Ray Stanford has photographed UFOs since the 1950s and offers many insights as to what the images reveal.


ABOUT Ray Stanford

Ray Stanford has been an early ufologist since his early youth. In his teens he was fascinated by George Adamski's contact stories and became an enthusiastic believer, until he soon realized that each one of Adamski's claims were false and his photographs were crude montages. Despite the invention of the frauds that contained the teachings of Adamski, his narratives of spaceflight, contacts with beings from the planet Venus and his photographs, his interest in UFOs didn't decline, on the contrary.

Stanford maintains an extended history of UFO observations, most recorded with a camera and within the presence of other witnesses. As for the UFO photographic record, Ray has photographed or filmed, between 1954 and 1969, seven such incidents.

From 1972 to 1974, Stanford was fortunate to seek out some wealthy patrons who allowed him to finance the instrumental equipment of the Project Starlight International (International Starlight Project), originally founded in 1964. Stanford spent the sum of around two million dollars on equipment and facilities, including electronic, optical, magnetic and gravitational material, near Austin, Texas. All this had mobile capacity, with the exception of the radar unit. Its objective was the detection of any signal emitted by a UFO phenomenon.

High Strangeness & The Mind of God

Rey Hernandez

October 23rd, 2022

01:05:19

Rey Hernandez emphasizes his core argument that there is a unity behind UFO encounters, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, entheogenic experiences, mystical experiences, apports, materializations and other events associated with high-strangeness. He refers to these as "contact modalities." Although he admits that he cannot specify the precise workings of that unity, he attributes it to "the mind of God." He maintains that consciousness is fundamental and that what we perceive as the physical world is, in effect, a virtual realty, or a projection from a higher spiritual reality. He suggests that the best metaphor for this projection is to think in terms of Russian nesting dolls.

Sean Esbjorn explains that non-human intelligence can be thought of as natural to the earth (faeries and elementals), from outer space (i.e., ETs), or from celestial realms (angels and devas).
