Abstract: Heim's theory is defined in a 6-dimensional world, in 2 dimensions
of which events take place that organize processes in the 3 dimensions of our
experience. A very small natural constant, called a "metron", is derived, representing the smallest area that can exist in nature. This leads to the conclusion
that space must be composed of a 6-dimensional geometric lattice of very small
cells bounded on all sides by metrons. The existence of metrons requires our
usual infinitesimal calculus to be replaced by one of finite areas.
The unperturbed lattice represents empty vacuum. Local deformations of the
lattice indicate the presence of something other than empty space. If the deformation is of the right form and complexity it acquires the property of mass and
inertia. Elementary particles are complex dynamical systems of locally confined interacting lattice distortions. Thus, the theory geometricizes the world by
viewing it as a huge assemblage of very small geometric deformations of a 6-
dimensional lattice in vacuum. The theory also has significant consequences for
cosmology
Abstract: -The recent simulation of the miracle liquefying blood of Saint Januarius is shown to be viable from both historical and scientific standpoints. The
history of the holy blood is traced and means and motivation for the simulation
are provided. Spectral analysis of the simulated blood, a thixotropic gel of iron
hydroxide (FeO(OH)), shows the absorption spectrum to be similar to old
blood. Many reported characteristics of the holy blood can be explained by the
behavior of a thixotropic gel. Modifications of the preparation procedure are
attempted to bring the simulation into agreement with fourteenth century
alchemical knowledge. A critical evaluation of previous spectroscopic studies
of the miracle blood is presented.
Abstract: Arno Müller's "hypothesis of the planetary klite" (Müller,1990)
amended Gauquelin's "midwife hypothesis", which suffered from weaknesses.
The approach is a welcome contribution to the persistent problem of how to
explain planetary correlations with human births (the Gauquelin effect). However, it is inconsistent with empirical observations:
(1)Gauquelin effects are unrelated to character traits. Miiller's hypothesis
explains a correlation that does not exist.
(2) Sometimes planetary effects decrease with eminence. This is inconsistent
with Muller's idea that more eminent as compared to less eminent people
should have cultural and biological advantages.
(3)Birth frequencies can be infrequent instead of abundant when the planet is
rising or culminating. This is inconsistent with Muller's assumption that in
prehistorical times the births of children were desired, not avoided, when
the divine planet was so placed.
(4) The doctrine of planetary heredity-the basic precondition of Muller's
hypothesis-is probably invalid.
(5) The Gauquelin effect is weakest for Venus. Muller's claim of an impact of
planetary appearances on the evolution of the Gauquelin effect would predict the opposite.
(6) Muller's model covers only the evolution of conditioning between planetary
sensitivity and character traits. It does not explain the evolution of planetary
sensitivity prior to such conditioning.
Gauquelin's original midwife hypothesis as well as Muller's new version of it
could be refuted straightforwardly if further tests showed that the Gauquelin
effect occurred undiminished in eminent births induced by obstetric drugs.

Abstract: In 1986 Dr. Walter D'Souza, an Indian physician living in the United States, had a series of realistic dreams in which his deceased father, who had
been buried in India three years earlier, appeared to be leaving his coffin and
trying to communicate something to him. After Dr. D'Souza had had three of
these dreams, a letter from India informed his mother that his father's bones
had not been adequately disposed of. Dr. D'Souza then believed that his dreams
had some connection with the matter of his father's bones. He urged his mother
to go to India and attend to the burial, but she and his sister minimized the difficulty, and did not wish to spend money on a journey to India. Dr. D'Souza then
had a fourth dream similar to the previous three. He told his family about his
dreams and insisted that his mother go to India and attend to the disposition of
the bones. She agreed to go and the dreams ceased. It seems unlikely that Dr.
D'Souza before he had his dreams had any normal awareness that anything further needed to be done for the proper disposition of his father's bones. Paranormal interpretations of the dreams have plausibility. Attention is drawn to the
quality of vividness in dreams as a possible marker of paranormality.

Abstract: Refereed journals, to which scientists turn for their reliable information, carry virtually no information on the UFO problem. Does this imply
that scientists have no views and no thoughts on the subject, or that all scientists consider it insignificant? Does it imply that scientists have no reports to
submit comparable with UFO reports published in newspapers and popular
books? The purpose of this 1977 survey of American astronomers was to answer these questions.
Abstract: The "Philadelphia Experiment" concerns the allegedly paranormal disappearance of a Navy destroyer from the docks of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard in the late Summer of 1943, followed by disclosures of official
contact with extraterrestrial powers. Claims made by purported witnesses of
this supposedly secret Navy test directed by Albert Einstein have been repeatedly found to be fraudulent. The author has now interviewed a man who
served on a companion ship to the destroyer in question, and who was on the
scene the night of its supposed disappearance, which he is able to explain in
minute detail. Yet the features of the story are such that it survives in the UFO
literature and that it is now being revived under a novel form for the benefit of
a new generation of readers. Using this incident as a model of a successful
hoax, the present article extracts thirteen parameters that have been instrumental in its remarkable survival over the last fifty years; it compares the features of this fabrication to other questionable episodes of UFO lore; finally, it
attempts to draw up a list of suitable measures for their detection, challenge
and ultimate exposure.
Abstract: Although intra- and interpersonal intluences have long been acknowledged in medical science to affect an individual's health both positively and negatively, the impact of non-local, transpersonal influences are generally denied in contemporary medical science. The present paper examines
anecdotal, ethnographic, anthropological, clinical, and experimental evidence suggesting that non-local, transpersonal influences may exist, and that
these may exert a negative and even fatal impact on human health. The possible relationship of these negative influences to scientific findings in other
anomalous areas, such as the studies in humanlmachine interaction at the
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Laboratory, are discussed. The author concludes that the evidence favoring the existence of
non-local, negative, transpersonal influences is considerable, and that the implications for medical research and clinical practice are profound.
Abstract: Six well-documented UFO abductions reported in Spain are reviewed. Investigation reveals them to be the result of hoax, delusion or psychosis. On a global scale, the annual distribution of abductions plotted according to year of report shows clusters associated with media-related
triggers. Abduction narratives seem to proceed from internal sources, representing non-physical experiences of psychological origin inspired by publicized material, plus a significant number of hoaxes. A danger exists that the
abduction syndrome may get out of hand.
Abstract: After two decades of parapsychological research, my purpose in
writing this essay is to encourage researchers who are interested in understanding psychic phenomena to look for ways to have ESP experiences themselves. In no other field do experienced and thoughtful researchers set up observational experiments, and then ask inexperienced or randomly chosen
passersby to look through the microscope and report what they see. I will describe here some of the things that I have seen. I am a good visualizer. When I
close my eyes I usually see reasonably sharp and clear pictures. The bad news
is that the images that I see with my eyes open are not much sharper or clearer, although they are much more stable. I would like to share my thoughts
about psi perceptions, from the point of view of a legally blind researcher.
What that means in my case is that my corrected visual resolution is ten percent of that of a person with normal vision.

Abstract: Video data showing multiple objects moving in unusual trajectories in space is examined. The video was captured by a camera aboard the
Space Shuttle Discovery (mission STS-48) between 20:30 and 20:45 GMT
on 15 September 1991 near the west coast of Australia. Digital video analysis
is performed to determine if the objects in question are ice particles disturbed
by a thruster firing as contended by NASA or other objects moving independently of the shuttle. Results of our analysis show that it is unlikely that a
thruster firing occurred since the attitude of the spacecraft does not change.
Our analysis indicates that there are two groups of correlated object motions.
One group changes direction at the time of a flash, claimed by NASA to be
due to a thruster firing. The other group changes direction 1.5 seconds later.
Assuming the objects are roughly the same size, brightness measurements of
the objects as they pass over the airglow layer near the limb suggest that the
objects in the first group are farther away yet they change direction first. This
behavior is inconsistent with the thruster firing hypothesis. For one of the objects known as the "target", it is shown that the only hypothesis that is consistent with the data is that the object is at or near the physical horizon. We go on
to show that several other objects in the video are clearly moving in circular
arcs and are thus likely to be relatively far away from the shuttle. The estimated speed of one of these objects, about 35 kmlsec, is approximately the
same as that of the target if we assume that it is at the physical horizon. At the
end of the event, the shuttle's camera pans down to reveal a number of objects moving below the shuttle. One of the objects appears to have a definite
structure consisting of three lobes arranged in a triangular pattern
