I may need to go back and have another look at the material. I am contemplating doing a blue beam revisited thread.
Its been awhile since the boards have seen one and with some of the material we have been researching lately I think the theory needs another look.

Ya know, it is really hard for me to swallow a lot of the stuff Redfern has to say, but I suppose its worth a look.
After all, lots of these guys mess with the occult stuff and that isn't even a question. It is fact.

Liminal buddies beyond space and time?
Did I get the memo on that one?

Random thought on the bus: perhaps the phenomena represents a kind of 'uplifting' by the Ousiders. Perhaps TPTB are trying to avert a hard take off Singularity...

He doesn't believe in their interpretation: he's just reporting what he was told by these folks. The book also more or less tells you how you could try to get in touch with these folks yourself...I've thought about it but I'm chicken.
Also random thought about Speilburg. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is quite a departure from Close Encounter...seems like he remembered Vallee's advice.

Most beings in this neck of the woods are doofuses just like us. The Tptb, "aliens" and spirits" get way too much credit. In fact some come here to learn from pretty average humans.
Andrija Puharich: An incredible but absolutely true scene took place when Uri Geller was working on one floor at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). They had Geller bending metal, teleporting things,demonstrating incidents of telepathy and clairvoyance-these things were happening all of the time. Well, unbeknownst to us at the time, there was another lab upstairs for ARPA-a computer network system. Somebody put two and two together and said: "Hey, there's a crazy kid downstairs who is bending metal and levitating things." So they cross-correlated and discovered that when Uri did something the computers would go wacko: program printouts would pop out - sometimes partly erased --- the power supply would go out on them and so on. "Somebody can affect the computer!" Panic ensued. A squad of colonels came out from Washington to sniff around and watch Uri do his thing. They came to me and said, "You know, our whole defense system is on computers and magnetic tapecards. Can this guy wipe them out? Would you cooperate?" So we took Geller to Bell Labs and to the Livermore Radiation Lab and they put together an elaborate set-up for magnetic shielding. They learned that he could wipe out anything on computer tape. They said to me, "This guy could start World War 3!"

So, Doug Engelbart was heading up the Augmentation Research Center at SRI roughly at the same time Puharich was working there w/ Geller. He believed that the role of computers was to augment the human intellect, and was also one of the guys who gave us ARPANET. Funny little anecdote, makes you wonder if there might have been experimental overlap:

And here's a well done mini-doc on Engelbart's approach to IA:
Children of high intelligence, with their plasticine brains, would have made ideal subjects for testing Engelbart's techniques out.
Uh, if they didn't cause the computers to go haywire, that is.
edit on 13-11-2013 by Eidolon23 because: (no reason given)
"Bardini points out that Engelbart was strongly influenced by the principle of linguistic relativity developed by Benjamin Lee Whorf. Where Whorf reasoned that the sophistication of a language controls the sophistication of the thoughts that can be expressed by a speaker of that language, Engelbart reasoned that the state of our current technology controls our ability to manipulate information, and that fact in turn will control our ability to develop new, improved technologies"
