Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400300004-7 18 According to the January/February 1990 issue of International UFO Reporter, Alexander is manager of anti-material technology in the Defense Initiative Office at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Thus he is located in an area of intense activity -- New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment. Alexander recently co-authored a book entitled The Warrior's Edge (Morrow, New York, 1990) with Major Richard Groiler and Janet Morris. Groller served on the staff of the Directorate of Intelligence, U.S. Forces Command, the U.S. Army Intelligence School, and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Grolier has published an article in Military Intelligence titled "Soviet Psychotronics - A State of Morris is affiliated with the National Intelligence Study Center and worked as long as 19 years ago on the effect of mind on probability in computer systems. GENERALS One wonders about a two-star General (Kerby) showing up incognito to interview a "UFO buff," (Graham) and who also spends some of his time with a congressional aide who specializes in paranormal and New Age topics. But stealth specialist Kerby is not the only general officer who seems to be on friendly terms with Scott Jones. While Kerby seems to devote his energies to the UFO problem, Major General Albert Stubblebine focuses on parapsychology. I will quote from Howard Blum's book Out There (Simon & Schuster, 1990), which is devoted to an account of U.S. Government activities in the fields of ufology and parapsychology. Nearly every review of this pook has pointed out the extraordinary number of factual errors it contains, but the information on Stubblebine appears to be correct: "In the early 1980s, Army Intelligence was an inventive, why-not-give-it-a-try sort of organization. It was spending millions on parapsychological experiments. It had contracted with the Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, for studies to relieve stress through ‘advanced states of consciousness. ' It had spent research dollars on ‘themisphere synchronization,' a process that uses patterns of sound waves to intensify consciousness by ‘uniting' both hemispheres of the brain. Marksmen were being taught to concentrate through paranormal methods (a project so intense that several officers later claimed they suffered recurring mental problems as a result.)

(page 58) Since he has left the Army, Stubblebine has been quite involved in paranormal areas.! Stubblebine, formerly Vice President for "Intelligence Systems" of BDM of McClean, Virginia, is now Chairman of Psi Tech, a group that aspires to provide psychic advice to Fortune 500 companies. Reportedly, most members of Psi Tech are ex-military personnel who were trained in a multi-million dollar parapsychological applications program developed at SRI International. A few months ago, Psi Tech received national publicity for attempting to "remote view" hidden biological weapons in Iraq. Recently, Psi Tech personnel have told a number of people that they believe they have found a colony of invisible aliens in New Mexico. ONWARD Laibow, Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the,shadows) are fresh from a tour of Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network. It subsumes both fields of inquiry (parapsychology and ufology), and is international in composition and scope. Scott's goals were stated thus in his Omega Conference speech: "I assume that the effective stonewalling position of the U.S. Government may not be the norm in all countries. The question is, can we identify countries that may be more open on the subject than the United States, who would be willing to share with researchers credible evidence of extraterrestrial activities, and the knowledge that they have also shared this evidence with other governments? The second avenue of activity would be to act as a public broker between countries in this area." An organization called the International Association for New Science, of Fort Collins, Colorado, has announced an "Tnternational Symposium on UFO Research" to be held in Denver on May 22 through May 25, 1992. The first two days will consist of a "retreat" for "prominent researchers" and will not be open to the public. Among the goals of the new organization is "the formulation of synergistic and cooperative future UFO research strategies." General Albert Stubblebine, in what appears to be his debut as a public figure in ufology, will speak on (pun probably not intended) "General UFO phenomena." Doubtless the General will be in the audience, nodding in profound agreement, when another scheduled speaker, C. B- Scott Jones, shares his accumulated wisdom on the topic of "Apductors/abductees and government . involvement/cover-~-up"! Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000400300004-7

The McDonnell Foundation has been a consistent major source of funding for psi research. The McDonnell Douglas Huntington Beach, California facility employs two publicly known anomalies researchers, Jack Houck and Dr. Robert Wood. Houck has conducted hundreds of sessions instructing people on how to bend metal using psychic means (a number of parapsychologists have found his demonstrations unconvincing). He has also conducted similar exercises in remote viewing. Houck has a long list of publications in the psi field, but his connection with McDonnell Douglas is virtually never mentioned. Dr. Robert Wood has written on the UFO phenomenon and is known to have monitored the field of parapsychology. 2. The Laibow-Jones presentation at the Society for Psychical Research was promoted by Ralph Noyes, a former Ministry of Defence official who is involved with UFOs and Crop Circles. 3. When Scott's busy schedule does not permit his attendance at a conference, his son or his assistant, Menelika McCarthy, have sometimes been spotted in the audience. 4. Jones served an assignment with the Naval Scientific and Technical Intelligence Center as head of the Missiles, Ordnance, and Astronautics Division. There he produced intelligence reports for the Navy and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) at all levels of security classification. He was chairman of the Naval Missile Group (NMG), which supported the Guided Missile and Astronautic Intelligence Committee. He directed the Navy's Intelligence Anti-Ship Missile Task Force, which provided intelligence for anti-missile defence research. Other assignments included Chief, Targets Development Branch in the Intelligence Directorate of Headquarters, U.S. European Command, anda stint at the National Military Command System Support Center. 5.

Jones and his colleagues had played tape recordings backwards of speeches given by Bush, Baker and Cheney. Jones suggested that this may have revealed an important code word relevant to the Gulf crisis. Despite the wide ridicule which greeted his suggestion, privately Jones continues as a strong advocate of "reverse speech therapy" even though there seems to be no scientific support for the notion. 7. According to Larry Collins, author of Maze, the Navy has had an interest in electronic mind control. He specifically mentioned a very mysterious character named Dr. Jack Vorona. (Playboy January 1990). 8. Psychotronics in the U.S. is comprised largely of a bizarre mix of electronics and occultism. Government personnel and defense contractors regularly attend psychotronics conventions. 9. Reports say that Jones's position and charm allowed him to meet with extremely high level Chinese officiais in the paranormal research field, levels denied to most visiting scientists. 10. In a recent interview for Green Egg, Vallee reported that "One government informant has even come forward to reveal that he, in fact, had been recruited to befriend various UFOlogists and to write psychological profiles of them. Every UFO organization is monitored by government informers." il. This is by no means the first time officials in the Pentagon have expressed an interest in parapsychological aspects of UFOs. In 1973, a helicopter crew of the u.Ss. Army Reserve encountered a UFO over Ohio. A very detailed report by Jennie Zeidman was published by the Center for UFO Studies. Appendix C of that report noted that the crew was contacted by Pentagon personnel and asked about unusual dreams. 12. Kubler-Ross has contributed much to the hospice movement and increased our compassion for the process of death and dying, though hers is not a rigorous scientific approach. During her work, she herself reported encountering entities of deceased persons. One of her closest associates was day Barham, a medium who made sexual advances during seances. During one seance, the light was turned on and everyone, including Kubler-Ross, could see Barham naked. The medium was defended by claiming that an entity had cloned Barham's body (New West, July 30, 1979). Not long after this, John Alexander began his Ph.D. work under the direction of Kubier-Ross.
