Dr. John B. Alexander (who has been featured on The Paracast in five prior shows) is the author of several important books. These books include: The Warrior's Edge: (1990) which looks at research on the capabilities of the mind done by the military and applies it to both the military and business worlds. The issues discussed are not new--meditation, active listening, intuition, visualization, biofeedback, martial arts, and psychokinesis, to name a few.
UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities (2012) reviews major events in UFO history, finding both facts and flaws. The gulf between the public's opinion of UFOs and what most scientists believe regarding them is cavernous. During the 1980s, Alexander organized an interagency group to explore the evidence, with participants from the military, CIA, and aerospace industry examining classic cases, separating solid facts and credible witnesses from the myths and conspiracy theorists. Determining that UFOs, while real, are beyond current comprehension, Alexander sees the extraterrestrial hypothesis as too narrow. UFOs remain an enigma, he concludes, since every time we think we have an answer, new observations make the problem more complex.
Alexander's latest book, Reality Denied: Firsthand Experiences with Things that Can't Happen - But Did (2017) has just been released by Anomalist Books. Here, Alexander confronts conventional wisdom with events that, although quite real, seem to challenge the revered “laws of science,” proving them to be wrong or incomplete. The thorny issues of life after death, mind over matter, UFOs, remote viewing, telepathic communications with animals, and more are all addressed from John's unique perspective. Here physical and spiritual domains collide, providing glimpses of worlds beyond everyday reality.
John B. Alexander, Ph.D., is a retired Army Colonel Green Beret with decades of experience with a wide range of phenomena. Traveling to all eight continents, he has encountered events that defy common explanation and has met with shamans in the Amazon, the Himalayas, the Andes, East and West Africa, and Northern Mongolia. In Tonga, he dived in open ocean with humpback whales, and was involved with telepathic experiments with wild dolphins in the Bahamas. A psychic adventurer, he practiced psychokinetic metal bending, fire walking, and caused a white crow to fly for the National Academy of Sciences. A founding board member of International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA), he is a past-president of International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), and former Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) councilor. He was the inspiration for the main character in the film Men Who Stare At Goats, "Lyn Cassady"—played by George Clooney.
Straddling two worlds—one conventional, the other anything but—he is retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory where he headed "non-lethal" weapons development. John served on studies with the National Research Council, the Army Science Board, the Council on Foreign Relations, NATO, and was a senior fellow of a DoD university. Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross who headed his doctoral committee. His website is found at johnbalexander.com.
