Sunday, April 15, 2012: The Paracast covers a world beyond science, where UFOs, poltergeists and strange phenomena of all kinds have been reported by millions across the planet.
Set Up: The Paracast is a paranormal radio show that takes you on a journey to a world beyond science, where UFOs, poltergeists and strange phenomena of all kinds have been reported by millions. The Paracast seeks to shed light on the mysteries and complexities of our Universe and the secrets that surround us in our everyday lives.
Join long-time paranormal researcher Gene Steinberg, co-host Christopher O'Brien, and a panel of special guest experts and experiencers, as they explore the realms of the known and unknown. Listen each week to the great stories of the history of the paranormal field in the 20th and 21st centuries.
This Week's Episode: Gene and Chris present independent researcher Thomas P. Fusco, who has devoted nearly three decades investigating the relationship between mind, physics, spirituality, parapsychology, scientific anomalies and paranormal phenomena with the goal of uncovering the unifying cosmological framework that has eluded mankind for generations. On this episode, he'll be discussing the theory of supergeometry presented in his book, "Behind the Cosmic Veil: A New Vision of Reality," which integrates reality, spiritual, and the supernatural, including UFOs and other strange events.

Do We Have the Right to Say, “Put Up or Shut Up”?
By Gene Steinberg
When you run a public forum, as we do, you never quite know which discussions will get the most mileage. But I have to tell you that we have members of all stripes, which means we will see wide-ranging interactions, and sometimes the posts get a little incendiary. Yes, we do make an effort to tone things down when they get out of hand, but we also want to give you the freedom to disagree, but we hope you’ll try to keep yourselves agreeable most of the time.
Well, the recent return appearance of longtime paranormal researcher and experiencer Ray Stanford to The Paracast predictably brought all sorts of viewpoints to the table. Ray appeared with veteran UFO investigator Chris Lambright, whose recent book, “X Descending,” in part disclosed how a private study of certain UFO films taken by Stanford influenced new developments in aerospace propulsion.
Because of the sheer number of color illustrations in the book, it is only available in electronic or ebook form as of the time of this writing. It would cost too much to offer readers a full print edition, particularly since the print run would have to be fairly small. It’s rare to see a book about UFOs become a huge seller.
Now the book doesn’t actually contain stills from Ray’s films. Instead, you get paintings that offer close approximations, but our listeners have understandably been skeptical. Why can’t they see the originals, so they can decide whether or not they pass muster?
When Ray was asked, he said he’d be willing to show his evidence to scientists and serious investigators who are willing to travel to his home near Washington, D.C. But he isn’t prepared to just post it, say, as a YouTube video. Among his reasons for refusing the request is his concern that some practical jokers will just use his material as fodder for some special effects exercises of their own, meaning they’d create fake UFO images based on what he says are real ones.
This isn’t the first time that Ray has been reluctant to let loose with evidence he claims to have. When he appeared on The Paracast on August 29, 2010, he described 1978 UFO encounters near White Sands, New Mexico. At the time, he said he made tape recordings of witness descriptions during the sightings, and even said he’d be willing to convert them to digital and release them. That hasn’t happened yet, but it may also be because Ray says he has other things to do.
Now I do understand the reasons for skepticism. Over the years, paranormal researchers have claimed to possess evidence that never seems to appear, or ends up being unimpressive, to put it mildly. There are even instances where they maintain that the authorities or alleged “Men In Black” purloined the evidence, or so they say. So they don’t have it anymore.
When it comes to Ray Stanford, I understand the frustrations expressed by some of you. By making the claim that he has evidence, you expect him to go the extra mile and produce that evidence. All well and good.
I haven’t seen any of it myself. All I know is what Ray said on the show, and what Chris Lambright wrote in his book, along with his fancy illustrations of course. Our co-host, Christopher O’Brien, who is nobody’s fool, has seen a fair amount of Ray’s work and is extremely impressed. So this is something that has to be taken seriously.
Of course, Ray is nothing if not controversial in the field. His early involvement in the so-called contactee movement didn’t help his reputation, although he has since become a responsible citizen and researcher who has worked with serious investigators and scientists and had his own share of achievements as a result.
At the same time, he doesn’t appear to be seeking fame and fortune. He has no recent books, and isn’t going on the lecture circuit. He doesn’t make a lot of appearances on radio either, nor does he have a cult to take on expensive voyages in search of evidence of ET. Whether or not he chooses to release his evidence, he doesn’t seem to be interested in profiting from that evidence. He doesn’t even have a Web site.
I’m also concerned over the fact that some of his critics have focused more on the details of his background, and where he may have been involved early on with organizations or projects of which they do not approve. The devil is in the details, however, and regardless of past affiliations, what has to count now is the strength of his work.
I would love to see some of Ray’s evidence. Maybe I should be budgeting for a trip back east to visit him and spend some time going over his material, assuming he is willing to invite me into his home and agree to allow me to examine his research. I would also hope that he would be more forthcoming about releasing that material to the public, but it’s not as if I can just demand it. He can do as he pleases, although maybe he would have been better served not to say anything about his work until he was prepared to reveal everything.
For now, the saga of Ray Stanford must remain very much a work in progress.
