    (Self-published, 2023). ISBN: 9798861535755 Dominion Lost is one of the most compelling, convincing narratives of ET abduction that I have ever read. This is no small compliment: over the past 15 years, after my own experience with missing time and probable ET abduction, I have studied this field intensively, reading many books, interviewing dozens of abductees and contactees, and carefully considering the evidence. Although UFOlogists lament the lack of attention paid to your “everyday person,” and I have long been skeptical of the assumption that being a police officer or airline pilot makes that individual’s report of an experience more accurate and credible, there is something encouraging about the increasing numbers of medical professionals and scientists taking a serious look at UFOlogy. Dr. John Mack, Pulitzer Prize–winning Harvard psychiatrist, nearly lost his position in the university medical school because of his study of abductees. Since that time, other p...

  “A Firsthand Account of Ancient Aliens”: A Review of Thiaoouba Prophecy (first published as Abduction to the 9th Planet ), by Michel Desmarquet. Trans. from French manuscript (now lost) by Kay Smith. Edited and corrected by Dr. Tom Chalko, Louise Ovcar, and Manninder Sekhon (Arafura Publishing, 2004). ISBN: 0 9577882 3 1 Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence . —Carl Sagan (1980) Although the opening epigraph is primarily attributed to the famous host of Cosmos , it was also similarly stated by Thomas Jefferson (1808), Pierre-Simon Laplace (1814), Théodore Flournoy (1899), and Marcello Truzzi (1978). Then again, the famed UFOlogist, author, and lecturer, Stanton Friedman, might have countered that “an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” As an experiencer and longtime investigator of high strangeness, UFOlogy, and the survival of consciousness after death, it is always a challenge to review and assess the veracity of books such as this one. First...

   (Acme, Nadir, Fulcrum, and Pivot, 2021). ISBN: 978-0-578-96331-0 Earlier this year, I reviewed a new book called Convergence: The Interconnection of Extraordinary Experience by Barbara Mango, PhD and Lynn Miller, MS. Mango and Miller were also guests on my weekly livestream and we belong to an informal research group. The subject matter centers on near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, contact/unidentified aerial phenomena experience, and past life regression/recall. I am experiencer with three of the four. I have never had a near death experience. In all of these phenomena, there is one word that experiencers use in almost every case: transformative . Having been interested in Reverend Carter’s work for many years, I was excited by the opportunity to read and review his new book, Initiation . You will notice that “Transformation” appears in the title, as it focuses on contactee/abduction cases. A second subtitle reads, “A Guide for Contact Experiencers.” ...

by Michael Brein and Rosemary Ellen Guiley (New Milford, CT: Visionary Living, Inc., 2018). ISBN: 9781942157250 Disclaimer: I have two entries in this collection. Also, a book that I am co-authoring with my wife about our two-year investigation of a haunted library in North Carolina (subject of one of the two entries in this book) will be published by Visionary Living in the summer of 2018. Followers of my blogs and my work know that I have long been an advocate for Telling our Stories. I have seen the power of story on stage in social justice theatre productions, in legislative lobbying for equal rights, and in swaying public opinion. In the news as of late are the powerful stories of teenagers demanding changes to gun laws. Although the field of paranormal investigation may seem worlds (and dimensions) apart from my three decades of work as a content creator and storyteller, I have found the parallels to be considerable. As I begin to establish myself as a paranormal investi...
