Convergences and Overlaps Between UAPs and Parapsychology: Lessons
Learned from Managing the Pentagon’s AAWSAP UAP Program
The Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program was run from the Defense Intelligence Agency and was unique because it specifically mandated examination of the effects of UAPs on people in addition to elucidating UAP performance. This meant data on medical injuries, physiological effects, psychological effects and paranormal effects were collected and entered into what became the largest UAP database in the world.
This talk will describe how the AAWSAP field investigations showed colocation and temporal overlaps between “nuts and bolts” UAPs, extraordinary creatures, poltergeist phenomena and paranormal events in multiple locations. It will draw convergences between UAP effects on people and parameters associated with the afterlife and the survival of human consciousness after death. The talk will also examine evidence for a common thread of deception that runs through UAP official policy, UAP behavior and the Afterlife.
