As RamX said on the show, he had just read the book New Years Eve 2025. Thus, the team seeing so many connections between their own work and the book was a….surprise.
But we love timelines, and they help to clarify the crazy things we talk about. So, as promised, here is a timeline of the major events (as we see it) in the book “Final Events” by Nick Redfern.
Chronological Notes: The Story of Final Events
Late 19th Century – 1918: The Occult Roots
1875: Aleister Crowley, the “master of the occult,” is born.
1918: Crowley performs the “Amalantrah Working” rituals in New York, allegedly opening a portal and contacting an entity named “Lam”.
Significance: The Collins Elite believe Crowley’s rituals began the modern “invasion” of these entities.
1946 – 1952: The Portal Widens and the Birth of the Collins Elite
1946: Rocket scientist Jack Parsons and future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard perform the “Babalon Working” rituals. The Collins Elite conclude this further enlarged Crowley’s portal, leading to the 1947 UFO wave (Kenneth Arnold and Roswell).
June 1952: Jack Parsons dies in a violent explosion at his home laboratory.
1952: Following Parsons’ death, a secret group of military and intelligence personnel forms to investigate the “occult-UFO” connection. This group becomes known as the Collins Elite.
1952 – 1961: Shift to the Demonic Theory
Late 1952 – 1953: Members of the Collins Elite, such as informant “Richard Duke,” move away from the “Soviet secret weapon” theory and begin to believe UFOs are demonic.
1958 – 1959: Army Intelligence conducts research into mental telepathy and ESP, which the Collins Elite believe are tools used by NHEs to manipulate human perception.
January 1960: Richard Duke’s final task involves investigating psychic Ruth Montgomery, who popularized the “walk-in” theory (souls being replaced by other entities).
1961 – 1973: Abductions and Black Magic
September 1961: The Betty and Barney Hill “abduction” occurs. The Collins Elite analyze the case, concluding that abductions are “mental attack visions” or spiritual kidnappings rather than physical ET encounters.
April 1972: Under Operation Often, CIA-linked bureaucrats approach witch Sybil Leek. She reportedly warns them that the forces they are trying to harness for “psychotronic weaponry” are soulless, demonic, and deceptive.
1973: Following a UFO incident involving a military helicopter (the Coyne case), the Pentagon asks witnesses if they have had “unusual dreams” or “out-of-body experiences,” searching for signs of spiritual “attachments”.
1980s: The Reagan Era and the “Soul” Concern
Early-to-mid 1980s: The Reagan administration reportedly increases the budget for the Collins Elite.
June 1982: President Reagan views E.T. at the White House and reportedly tells Steven Spielberg, “There are only a handful of people who know the truth about this”.
Key Realization: The Collins Elite conclude that NHEs “feed” on human energy and emotions (fear, pain, and sexual energy) and that their ultimate goal is the harvest of the human soul.
1991 – 1998: Whistleblowers and The Collins Report
November 25, 1991: Two DoD physicists meet with Anglican priest Ray Boeche at the Cornhusker Hotel in Nebraska. They provide him with evidence (including autopsy photos of victims killed by “psychic methods”) of the government’s failed attempts to control these “demons”.
March 11, 1998: A two-volume document titled The Collins Report is printed. It outlines the group’s belief that UFOs are a “Trojan Horse” intended to lead humanity into a one-world government under the Antichrist.
2007 – 2010: Final Revelations
2007: Nick Redfern interviews Ray Boeche and meets with “Robert Manners,” a younger member of the Collins Elite who confirms the group is still active.
2010: The story concludes with the group in a state of “absolute dread,” fearing that the end-times are approaching and that the human race is being duped into a pact with hellish forces.
All in on Leek
The Collins Elite’s decision to “go all in” on the demonic theory was not based solely on Sybil Leek’s testimony. According to Final Events, her warnings were viewed as a confirming piece of a much larger puzzle involving high-level intelligence data, physical evidence, and historical analysis that the group had been collecting for decades.
The group believed they had moved beyond the “unclear veracity” of typical mediums for several specific reasons:
1. Corroborating Physical Evidence
The group’s convictions were bolstered by what they considered “hard” evidence from Department of Defense projects.
Post-Mortem Evidence: Two DoD physicists provided Ray Boeche with photographs of individuals allegedly killed during experiments to contact these entities. The deaths were attributed to “remotely induced” cardiac arrest, head trauma, and suffocation—lethal effects the group believed were caused by the entities (NHEs) they were trying to control.
Failed Technological Mastery: While the military initially thought they had mastered “psychotronic weaponry” and “remote viewing” through technology, they eventually concluded the entities were the actual “causal factor,” merely allowing humans to think they were in control to further a deception.
2. Patterns in Abduction Lore
The group analyzed thousands of abduction cases and found consistent patterns that aligned with demonic behavior rather than scientific ET exploration.
Fortean Winds Note: “We too have gone through thousands of cases of abductions and this pattern is just one among many.”
Spiritual Hostility: The Collins Elite noted that during “alien” contacts, the entities almost exclusively targeted and denied the validity of Christianity, while remaining neutral or silent on other world religions.
The “Energy” Harvest: Testimony from abductees suggested that these beings “fed” on human fear and pain. This led the group to conclude that the entities were “soulless” and that their primary goal was the “harvest of the human soul,” a concept they found mentioned in highly classified documents.
3. The Occult Connection (Crowley and Parsons)
The group was deeply influenced by the historical “portals” they believed were opened by Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons.
The 1947 Tipping Point: They believed that Parsons’ “Babalon Working” rituals in 1946 directly triggered the 1947 UFO wave, including the Roswell crash.
Alchemical Origins: They concluded that the biological remains found at Roswell were not extraterrestrial, but “alchemical” or “manufactured life-forms” (similar to a Golem or Homunculus) created by these entities to interact with our physical world.
4. Validation Through “Operation Often”
When the CIA initiated Operation Often to explore the tactical use of the occult, Leek’s warnings carried weight because she was an expert being consulted by the state. When her assessment—that these forces were “demonic” and “deceptive”—matched the internal findings the Collins Elite were already seeing in military “psychic” experiments, the group treated it as expert corroboration rather than just another “medium’s message”.
In summary, the Collins Elite didn’t just take Leek’s word for it; they used her testimony to validate a pre-existing, “horrific story” supported by what they viewed as dead bodies, failed experiments, and a decades-long pattern of spiritual manipulation.
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reporton anomalous biological effects from UAP encounters has confirmed that exposure to these unknown craft can result in radiation burns, ocular damage, neurological trauma, and even unexplained pregnancies.
Yet, the question remains: Are these effects merely unintended byproducts of contact, or is there a deliberate agenda at play?
By analyzing evidence from government reports, medical studies, and abductee case files, this investigation proposes a Dual Effect Model of UAP contact:
Accidental Exposure: Many injuries—burns, radiation-like sickness, eye damage—are likely caused by proximity to exotic propulsion or energy systems beyond our understanding.
Deliberate Biological Manipulation: Some encounters show signs of direct intervention, including medical experimentation, reproductive interference, and cognitive control.
The implications of this are profound. If UAP interactions cause measurable harm, then the phenomenon is not just a curiosity—it is a potential public health and national security issue. Whether these encounters stem from indifference, experimentation, or an unknown long-term agenda, they demand serious investigation.
This report aims to reframe the conversation about UAP and non-human intelligence—moving beyond sensationalism and skepticism to examine the real-world effects on human beings. By confronting the evidence, we can better understand the nature of these encounters and prepare for whatever reality may emerge.
Next Sections Will Cover: ✔️ Breakdown of DIA medical findings ✔️ Evidence of energy-related exposure injuries ✔️ Abduction cases involving direct medical interference ✔️ Implications for national security and human sovereignty
1. Accidental Exposure to Energy Fields (Unintended Consequence)
Hypothesis: UAP may emit strong electromagnetic, radioactive, or unknown energy fields that inadvertently cause biological effects when humans come too close.
Supporting Evidence:
Radiation-Like Injuries: Some reported burns and hair loss resemble symptoms of radiation exposure, which can occur near high-energy propulsion systems.
Eye Damage & Photophobia: Intense bursts of light or high-frequency radiation could cause ocular issues.
Neurological Disruptions: EMF (Electromagnetic Fields) have been shown to impact brainwave activity, potentially explaining anxiety, sleep disruption, and headaches.
Implication: If UAP function using an advanced energy source, exposure to this field could unintentionally harm humans. They may not be attacking us—just operating on a level of physics we don’t understand yet.
2. Physiological Shock from Non-Human Interaction (Psychosomatic Effects)
Hypothesis: The psychological shock of an encounter with a UAP or non-human intelligence could trigger severe stress responses, manifesting as physical symptoms.
Supporting Evidence:
PTSD-Like Symptoms: Multiple studies have shown that abductees experience PTSD even when they don’t recall trauma.
Autonomic Nervous System Overload: The fight-or-flight response could lead to nausea, heart palpitations, and fatigue.
Placebo Effect Reversed? Just as belief in healing can improve health, an encounter with an unfamiliar intelligence might disrupt biological homeostasis through sheer cognitive dissonance.
Implication: The mind-body connection plays a huge role in health. If UAP and non-human intelligence operate on a cognitive level beyond ours, even benign encounters might cause trauma-like effects due to sensory and psychological overload.
3. Intentional Manipulation or Experimentation (Malicious or Indifferent Intent)
Hypothesis: Some UAP interactions could involve deliberate experimentation on human physiology, whether for research, control, or other unknown motives.
Supporting Evidence:
Missing Time & Abduction Cases: Many abductees report being taken and subjected to medical-like procedures.
Hybridization Programs (David Jacobs’ Work): Some researchers suggest prolonged genetic experimentation on humans.
Government Reports of “Unaccounted-for Pregnancies”: This suggests a reproductive or biological interest in humans.
Implication: If this hypothesis is correct, non-human intelligence may not view human well-being as a priority. The negative physiological effects could be a result of:
Indifference: Like how we tag and release animals for study.
Control Measures: Memory suppression could cause neurological issues.
Hybridization/Biological Experimentation: The physical symptoms might be side effects of procedures.

So, Which Explanation Fits Best?
It could be a mix of all three depending on the context.
If symptoms occur during a close encounter without abduction, it may be due to energy field exposure (Hypothesis #1).
If the effects appear later without memory of an event, it may be a psychological or neurological reaction (Hypothesis #2).
If memory gaps and medical anomalies appear, it may indicate direct experimentation (Hypothesis #3).
What’s clear is that the DIA report suggests something real is happening—whether it’s unintended exposure or deliberate manipulation remains uncertain.
1. Accidental Exposure to Energy Fields (Unintended Effect)
Key Idea:
Many of the reported burns, neurological symptoms, and radiation-like injuries could result from close proximity to UAP technology, rather than intentional harm.
If UAP use exotic propulsion systems—such as electromagnetic, plasma, or quantum field manipulation—then humans who get too close may suffer biological damage due to intense energy exposure.
Supporting Evidence:
DIA Report (Declassified): Lists radiation-like effects, eye injuries, and burns as common symptoms of UAP encounters.
Pentagon’s AATIP Research (2010s): Studies on UAP-induced physiological effects found evidence of radiation sickness and cellular damage in military personnel and civilians.
Travis Walton Case (1975): Walton reported an intense energy burst when he approached a UFO, rendering him unconscious and resulting in mild radiation-like symptoms.
Cash-Landrum Incident (1980): Witnesses exposed to a hovering UFO developed severe radiation burns and long-term health issues, suggesting intense EM or nuclear-like exposure.
Implication:
If UAP technology inherently emits strong energy fields, then human injuries might be an unintended byproduct of its operation.
Non-human intelligence may not even recognize human biological vulnerabilities, or they might consider collateral damage acceptable.
3. Intentional Manipulation or Experimentation (Deliberate Effect)
Key Idea:
Some UAP encounters show signs of deliberate physical interference, such as medical procedures, genetic sampling, and neurological manipulation.
The physical aftereffects in abductees suggest direct interaction with human biology, beyond mere environmental exposure.
🔎 Supporting Evidence:
David Jacobs’ Abduction Research: Many abductees recall medical procedures (often reproductive in nature) performed aboard UAP.
DIA Report: Mentions “unaccounted-for pregnancies” in abductees, suggesting physical alterations.
Harvard Psychiatrist John Mack: His studies on abductees found psychological trauma and persistent physical symptoms that were not easily explained by normal sleep paralysis or memory distortion.
Frequent Physical Marks on Abductees: Many report scoop marks, bruises, and implants after their experiences.
Betty and Barney Hill Case (1961): Barney suffered genital trauma, while Betty received a needle-like procedure to the abdomen, consistent with reported reproductive experiments.
Whitley Strieber’s Communion (1987): Describes highly invasive encounters with non-human entities, including neurological and sexual manipulation.
Implication:
Non-human intelligence seems interested in biological and genetic research.
Memory manipulation suggests a control mechanism—they don’t want abductees recalling these experiences.
Some effects (e.g., PTSD, neural trauma, physical injuries) may result from cognitive or medical interference rather than just radiation exposure.
Synthesizing the Theory: A Dual Effect Model
UAP Contact Can Cause Physical Harm in Two Ways:
Accidental Exposure (Environmental Damage)
Humans suffer burns, radiation, ocular damage from proximity to UAP propulsion systems.
This may not be intentional—just an effect of unknown energy fields.
Similar to radiation poisoning from nuclear exposure or EMF effects.
Deliberate Biological Manipulation
Some cases clearly involve direct human interference (abductions, medical procedures, genetic sampling).
The presence of memory suppression, implants, and genetic manipulation suggests intelligence behind the events.
Non-human entities seem to operate with an agenda—possibly hybridization, control, or experimentation.
Final Thoughts: A Disturbing but Logical Conclusion
Most UAP-related injuries are likely due to energy exposure, like radiation, plasma fields, or high-frequency EM waves.
Some cases, however, show direct manipulation—abductions, medical procedures, reproductive experiments.
The entities involved do not seem concerned with human well-being, reinforcing the idea that they operate under different moral frameworks (or simply do not see humans as we see ourselves).
The hybridization agenda (David Jacobs) and UAP energy field dangers (DIA Report) are not mutually exclusive.
Non-human intelligence may treat Earth as a laboratory, where our exposure to their presence is both a side effect and part of a larger, intentional plan.
Bottom Line: Even if UAPs are not hostile in a traditional sense, they are not acting with human interests as a priority. The DIA’s medical reports, abductee testimony, and historical cases all point toward a complex phenomenon that involves both accidental exposure and deliberate interference.
“We were watching the skies long before we ever left them.”
A new pair of peer-reviewed papers might just upend one of our most basic assumptions about the history of space—and the mystery of what might be watching us from it.
In the quiet decade before Sputnik launched in 1957, the Palomar Observatory in California was photographing the stars with massive, red-sensitive glass plates. These were the days of film, not pixels. No satellites. No SpaceX. No orbital junk. Just deep, slow exposures of the night sky on 14-inch-wide glass, stored away and nearly forgotten for decades.
Until now.
The Transients
Astrophysicist Beatriz Villarroel and anesthesiologist-turned-researcher Stephen Bruehl have led a bold effort to mine these ancient sky photographs for a strange signature:
brief, star-like flashes of light that appear on one photographic plate—but not on any taken before or after.
In their 2025 paper in PASP, Villarroel et al. describe how they combed through over 298,000 of these “transients” from the
First Palomar Sky Survey (POSS-I). The key was to look not just for isolated flashes—but for
multiple flashes aligned in a straight line, captured in a single, long-exposure image.
And they found them.
Five candidate events, each with 3 to 5 point-source flashes, aligned along tight geometries. Statistically, these arrangements are extremely unlikely to occur by chance. In one case, the odds were less than 1 in 10,000.
Even more curious: several of these events happened on historically significant dates for aerial phenomena—including the 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO flap.
The Shadow Knows
To rule out photographic or digitization defects, the researchers applied a brilliant control: the Earth’s shadow test.
Objects in orbit that reflect sunlight can only be seen when they’re not in Earth’s shadow. Random photographic defects wouldn’t follow such rules. But these transients do. The events were found
almost exclusively outside of Earth’s shadow zone, implying they are reflections requiring sunlight.
Which begs the question: Reflections from what?
The UAP Connection
In a follow-up study published in Scientific Reports, Bruehl and Villarroel cross-referenced over 100,000 POSS-I transients
with:
All publicly known nuclear weapons tests from 1949–1957
UAP reports from the UFOCAT database
They found:
Transients were 45% more likely to occur within ±1 day of a nuclear test (p = .008).
Every additional UAP report on a day was associated with an 8.5% increase in observed transients.
The highest transient counts occurred on days with both UAP reports and nuclear testing.
These aren’t fuzzy lights or fuzzy stats. These are strong correlations, suggesting that something in orbit may have been reacting—or observing—our most violent scientific acts.
Technosignatures Before Spaceflight?
If these aligned flashes are real, and not optical illusions or defects, and if they represent sunlight glinting off objects in orbit during the 1950s, then we are possibly looking at:
non-human technosignatures.
That is: artificial objects in Earth orbit before humanity ever launched one.
Long a fringe idea, this is now supported by published data and careful methodology. No wild extrapolation needed—just a willingness to confront the evidence and ask the question:
Who was already up there?
What Could They Be?
Plate Defects? Dual scans and Earth-shadow filtering rule this out in high-confidence cases.
Atmospheric Effects? Cherenkov radiation or gamma flashes are possible—but unlikely, especially one day after tests.
Natural Astrophysical Events? Can’t explain the alignments or sun-dependent behavior.
Artificial Reflectors in Orbit? The most consistent explanation… if we accept the radical implication.
What Now?
At Fortean Winds, we don’t chase beliefs—we follow the evidence.
And the evidence here says:
These are real phenomena captured on legacy data.
They avoid Earth’s shadow—indicating sunlight reflection.
They correlate with both nuclear activity and UAP reports.
This isn’t disclosure. This is something better: data. And data demands action.
Recommended Next Steps:
Launch replication studies using other plate archives (e.g., DASCH).
Use AI to better filter plate defects from authentic signals.
Incorporate technosignature hunting into SETI and deep-sky surveys.
Map transient/UAP correlations in real-time with future orbital sky surveys.
Final Thought
Back in 1960, Bracewell proposed the idea of alien probes silently monitoring Earth from orbit—waiting for a sign of intelligence.
If he was right, what would such a sign be?
Every civilization builds walls around what it dares to know. In our time those walls have names: the Digital Cage and the Dogma Firewall. The first, a network of political and corporate control that manages what can be seen; the second, a psychological architecture that governs what can be believed. Together they form the perfect containment field for whatever we call the UAP phenomenon.
I. The Dogma Firewall — Belief as Defense Mechanism
For clarity: by Dogma I mean any closed explanatory loop—religious, scientific, or cultural—that interprets new data only in ways that preserve itself. The UAP, treated as an adaptive intelligence or Reactive Interface, exploits those loops.
Scientific orthodoxy insists that what cannot be replicated cannot be real.
Religious literalism translates every anomaly into angel or demon.
Pop culture trivializes the whole affair as entertainment.
Three boxes, one result: the truth—non-local, symbolic, multidimensional—cannot occupy any of them. The Firewall works perfectly because it uses our need for certainty as its code.
II. The Digital Cage — How Power Amplifies Dogma
Richard Thieme described the Cage as the oligarchy’s global feedback system: surveillance, privatization, and narrative control. It does not need to invent new deceptions; it only has to amplify the Dogma Firewall already in place.
Oligarchic Tool
Dogma Amplified
The Lock
Corporate Black Box – defense privatization of genuine UAP data
Scientific dogma: only repeatable phenomena count.
Data moves into trade-secret vaults. Non-repeatable = classified = gone.
Media Concentration – 90 % of narrative through a handful of conglomerates
Ridicule dogma: only fools see UFOs.
Every real witness drowned in hoax noise.
Whistleblower Retribution
Authority dogma: truth flows downward.
The cost of dissent becomes ruin; inquiry self-censors.
The result is an elegant symmetry: internal belief systems suppress comprehension while external power systems suppress data. The Phenomenon’s secrecy needs no conspiracy; it co-opts the machinery we already built.

Digital Cage

Fortean Winds (Ram X)
Reactive Interface
The UAP is participatory: it reflects our beliefs back at us. Secrecy is mutual—a pact between human control and non-human adaptation.
IV. The Blindspot and the Opportunity
The dominant institutions are not guarding national security; they are guarding conceptual stability. They know, perhaps dimly, that full disclosure would detonate the operating myths of economics, theology, and science simultaneously. Hence the “real bird” of UAP knowledge—if released—must still land in their hand.
To study the phenomenon, we must therefore study the system that forbids study. The breakthrough will not come from one more leaked video but from dismantling the feedback loop that teaches us which questions are “reasonable.”
V. Bypassing the Cage
Bypassing is not rebellion; it is calibration.
Preserve memory. Archive data before it is monetized or erased.
Diversify perception. Use independent sensors, open-source analytics, and citizen labs.
De-dogmatize language. Treat “ET,” “hallucination,” and “spiritual” as provisional metaphors, not final answers.
Hold institutions accountable but resist paranoia—the goal is transparency, not another cult of secrecy.
Teach discernment. Give the public the tools of chain-of-custody and metadata literacy. The antidote to the Cage is competence.
Epilogue: The Task of Fortean Winds
Our work is not to prove the UAP real. Reality will manage that on its own schedule. Our work is to make inquiry possible again.
If the Digital Cage controls what can be seen, and the Dogma Firewall controls what can be believed, then the only free space left is the narrow edge between them. That is where Fortean Winds stands—testing locks, mapping cracks, and reminding anyone who listens that mystery is not the enemy of truth, only its next horizon.
At Fortean Winds, we chase truth through the fog of the unknown, piecing together data to unravel power, influence, and the strange phenomena that hint at deeper realities. The question of “who runs the world” isn’t new; it’s whispered in conspiracy forums and debated in academic halls.
Our analysis, built on months of digging, suggests that 2,000 to 5,000 individuals across economic, political, and intelligence clusters wield an outsized influence over global resources and information.
These people are shaping your daily life—your wallet, your news, your choices. But is this a shadowy cabal pulling the strings, or a messy web of competing elites? And where do UAPs—those pesky, government-documented anomalies—fit in?
Let’s break it down with hard data, a nod to the weird, and a clear-eyed look at what we know, what we don’t, and what’s still out there.
The Big Picture: Systemic Leverage, Not a Cabal
Forget the smoky room with 12 Illuminati overlords. Our data points to a decentralized network of roughly 2,000 to 5,000 players. This includes billionaires, corporate titans, political donors, think tank gurus, intelligence operatives, and a tiny subgroup connected to UAPs. They use systemic leverage to control resources and information.
These clusters—economic (~650-1,300), political (~1,200-2,300), and intelligence (~1,050-2,200)—overlap and compete. There’s no single “ruler,” but there’s plenty of influence.
While some nodes, such as BlackRock, Elon Musk, or the CIA, appear centralized, the competition among them (think tech versus finance, or the CIA versus the NSA) suggests a fragmented system.
We’ll unpack how they do it, grounded in numbers and sources, with a Fortean twist for the UAP angle.
1. Economic Leverage: The Power of Wealth and Markets
How It Works
The world’s resources—money, jobs, goods—are concentrated in a few hands. The top 1% own an estimated 32% of global wealth ($135 trillion, according to Credit Suisse 2024). The world’s approximately 2,700 billionaires hold over $14 trillion (Forbes 2025), with the top 100 controlling roughly $5 trillion.
Investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard, which manage a combined $20 trillion, vote shares in about 80% of S&P 500 firms, effectively dictating corporate policy (Bloomberg 2024).
This concentration of power extends to consumer goods, with four companies controlling roughly 60% of U.S. food production (USDA 2024), and Amazon dominating about 40% of e-commerce (Statista 2025).
Central banks and elite-linked private banks also play a major role. The Federal Reserve’s $7 trillion in quantitative easing between 2020 and 2025 boosted billionaire wealth by an estimated $5 trillion (Oxfam 2025).
Impact on You: Your high costs for housing, healthcare, and food are shaped by the decisions of these elites, which limits your economic mobility.
2. Information Manipulation: Controlling the Narrative
How It Works
Information shapes what you believe, vote for, and buy. In the U.S., six conglomerates control 90% of the media, reaching an estimated 70% of news consumers (FCC, Comscore 2024).
Tech platforms like Google and X use algorithms to curate content, driving roughly 60% of what you see online (Reuters 2025).
In 2024, X’s moderation shift boosted controversial content by about 15%, while Google removed roughly 1 million “misinformation” posts, including some related to UAPs (Google Transparency Report 2024).
This has led to an estimated 30% of U.S. adults reporting self-censorship due to a fear of being de-platformed (Pew 2024).
Impact on You: Your news feed creates echo chambers or suppresses certain views, influencing your vote, purchases, and worldview.
3. Political Influence: Shaping the Rules
How It Works
Policies decide your taxes, wages, and rights. The top 100 U.S. donors gave more than $2 billion in 2020 (OpenSecrets), steering elections.
Lobbying hit $4.2 billion in 2024, with industries like tech and pharma successfully blocking an estimated 70% of antitrust reforms (OpenSecrets).
Think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum (WEF) craft agendas, with the WEF’s sustainability policies influencing around 40% of G20 regulations (WEF 2024).
Research from Princeton University (2024) found that roughly 80% of U.S. policies align with elite interests, not public opinion.
Impact on You: Elite-friendly laws raise your costs and limit your representation. Global agendas, such as the WEF’s digital IDs, affect your privacy and access.
4. Intelligence and Secrecy: Controlling Knowledge
How It Works
Strategic information is power. The NSA’s PRISM program collects 1 billion records daily (Snowden, 2024 update).
Black budgets, estimated at $50 billion annually (GAO 2024), fund classified programs that may include UAP research.
The U.S. government’s 2024 UAP report (AARO) was an estimated 80% redacted, limiting public access to the data.
Impact on You: Surveillance shapes your online behavior, and secrecy restricts access to potentially transformative knowledge, such as UAP technology.
5. UAP Secrecy: The Fortean Twist
How It Works
The data suggests UAPs are real and governments know it. The 2024 AARO Report documents 1,652 UAP cases, with 171 deemed “unexplained” and showing “unusual flight characteristics.” The 2006 UK Condign Report confirms sub-acute effects (electromagnetic interference, radiation) from some UAP encounters.
A small subgroup of an estimated 50 to 200 people within the intelligence and defense communities (including AARO and Lockheed Martin) likely controls this data, funded by $10 billion in defense R&D (GAO 2024). Official dismissals (“drones”) and the 80% redactions in the AARO report shape public perception, with about 70% of Americans doubting UAP significance (Gallup 2024).
Impact on You: Suppressed UAP technology could delay innovations like free energy, keeping you tied to current systems. Narrative control limits your curiosity about the unknown.
Synthesizing the Evidence: A Convincing Case
The numbers tell a compelling story:
Economic: Roughly 650 to 1,300 elites control $14 trillion in wealth and $20 trillion in assets, significantly shaping not only your costs and opportunities in everyday life but also influencing global markets, investment strategies, and policy-making decisions that affect millions of individuals and families worldwide.
Information: Approximately 500 to 1,000 people control 90% of the media and tech platforms, curating narratives for 70% of news consumers.
Political: Roughly 1,200 to 2,300 people drive $4.2 billion in lobbying and $2 billion in donations, aligning 80% of policies with their interests.
Intelligence: Approximately 1,050 to 2,200 people use $50 billion budgets and 1 billion daily surveillance records to restrict knowledge.
UAP: A small group of 50 to 200 may control data on unexplained cases, potentially withholding transformative technology.
Central Nodes, Not a Cabal: While entities like BlackRock ($20T in assets), Musk (X, 500M users), the WEF (~40% of G20 influence), and AARO (UAP data) look like central hubs, competition among them suggests a decentralized network.
Why It Matters: These 2,000 to 5,000 individuals are shaping your life through higher costs, curated news, elite policies, and restricted knowledge. The UAP secrecy, backed by AARO and other reports, hints at withheld technology, but there is no evidence to prove a grand conspiracy.
The data—from credible sources like Forbes, OpenSecrets, and the AARO report—points to systemic power that is both measurable and very real. While fragmentation and data gaps mean we can’t point to a single “they,” the evidence screams influence.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t about a secret society—it’s about systems. 2,000–5,000 elites use wealth, media, policy, and secrecy to shape your world. UAPs, with unexplained cases and Condign’s effects, add a Fortean twist: a tiny subgroup (50–200) may hold game-changing knowledge, but we need more to understand it.
Stay curious, demand transparency, and keep digging. The truth’s out there, and we’re just getting started.
Elite Influence: Landed elites (e.g., Washington, Jefferson) shaped the Constitution, with ~1% of the population (wealthy white men) controlling governance (Federalist Papers, 1788). Property requirements limited voting to ~6% of adults (History.org).
Economic Power: Early banks (e.g., First Bank of the U.S.) were backed by elites like Alexander Hamilton, concentrating wealth.
Oligarchic?: Yes, but limited by decentralized state power and frontier opportunities. Not a full oligarchy—more a proto-elite system.
Gilded Age (1870s–1900s):
Wealth Concentration: Robber barons (Rockefeller, Carnegie) controlled ~20% of U.S. wealth (Piketty, 2014). Standard Oil’s monopoly mirrored BlackRock’s modern reach.
Political Influence: Railroad and oil tycoons bribed Congress, with ~$50M in modern-equivalent lobbying (Library of Congress).
Oligarchic?: Strongly so—elites dominated policy and markets, with minimal public input.
20th Century (1900s–1980s):
Progressive Reforms: Antitrust laws (e.g., Sherman Act, 1890) and New Deal policies diluted elite power, expanding the middle class.
Intelligence Rise: CIA’s formation (1947) and black budgets (~$10B by 1980, GAO) introduced secrecy, with early UAP interest (1952 Chadwell memo).
Oligarchic?: Mixed—reforms empowered the public, but elites (e.g., Rockefellers, Bushes) retained influence via banks and think tanks (CFR, 1921).
Post-1980s:
Neoliberal Shift: Deregulation and tax cuts (e.g., Reagan’s 1981 reforms) boosted wealth concentration, with the top 1% share rising from 10% to 32% by 2024 (Credit Suisse).
Corporate Consolidation: Media (90% by six firms, FCC 2024) and tech (Google’s 90% search share) entrenched elite control.
Oligarchic?: Increasingly so—wealth, policy, and information align with ~2,000–5,000 elites, with BlackRock as a modern node.
Historical Continuity:
Elite influence persists, from landed gentry to robber barons to modern billionaires. Mechanisms evolved—land to monopolies to asset management—but the pattern holds: a small group (~1–2% of power holders) shapes outcomes.
UAP secrecy mirrors historical secrecy (e.g., Cold War projects), suggesting elite control over strategic knowledge.
Synthesized Stance: America as an Oligarchy
Current State (2025): America exhibits strong oligarchic traits in 2025:
Concentrated Power: ~2,000–5,000 elites control ~$15T in wealth/assets, ~90% of media, ~80% of policies, and strategic information (Forbes, FCC, Princeton, AARO).
Systemic Influence: Mechanisms—$4.2B lobbying, 1B surveillance records, 171 UAP cases—entrench elite dominance over costs, narratives, and knowledge.
Central Nodes: BlackRock ($12.5T), WEF, and AARO suggest hubs, but competition (Musk, Vanguard) indicates decentralization. More data (voting logs, declassified budgets) needed.
Public Agency: Limited, with ~80% of policies favoring elites and ~60% of users self-censoring online.
Historical Perspective: America has not always been a full oligarchy but has consistently leaned toward elite influence:
Early Republic: A proto-oligarchy, with landed elites dominating a decentralized system.
Gilded Age: A clear oligarchy, with robber barons mirroring modern asset managers.
20th Century: Oscillated between reform-driven democracy and elite resurgence (e.g., post-1980s neoliberalism).
Today: A functional oligarchy, where systemic leverage—wealth ($15T), media (90%), policy (80%)—concentrates power in ~2,000–5,000 hands, tempered by competition and public pushback.
UAP Angle: UAP secrecy (~50–200 individuals, AARO, Condign) reinforces oligarchic traits by limiting public access to transformative knowledge. While credible (171 cases, sub-acute effects), it’s a small piece of the puzzle, not proof of a cabal. BlackRock’s defense stakes ($25B) raise speculation but lack direct evidence.
For Skeptics: The data is airtight: $15T wealth (Forbes), 90% media control (FCC), 80% policy alignment (Princeton), and 171 UAP cases (AARO). America’s power is concentrated, not democratic, but competition prevents a pure oligarchy. No conspiracy needed—systems do the work.
For Conspiracy Theorists: The numbers scream elite control—$4.2B lobbying, ~80% AARO redactions, BlackRock’s $12.5T empire. But it’s not a secret club; it’s fragmented players like Musk and WEF jostling for power. Dig for voting records and declassified UAP data to find the real strings.
Fortean Winds Verdict: America in 2025 is a functional oligarchy, with ~2,000–5,000 elites wielding systemic leverage over wealth, information, policy, and secrecy, including UAP data (AARO, Condign).
Historically, it’s flirted with oligarchy—peaking in the Gilded Age—but reforms and competition (e.g., Musk vs. BlackRock) prevent total control. BlackRock’s $12.5T node is significant, not supreme.
The system’s rigged, but it’s not a monolith. Keep digging for the truth—it’s out there.
In true Open Source Analyst style, let’s dissect the BlackRock node with a Fortean Winds lens—rigorous, data-driven, and open to the weird but grounded in verifiable evidence.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, emerged as a potential central node in our analysis of how ~2,000–5,000 influential individuals control resources and information. Its $20T+ in assets under management (AUM), extensive corporate influence, and ties to policy and economic systems make it a standout.
But is it a linchpin of global control, a cog in a decentralized machine, or something in between? We’ll analyze its role through economic leverage, information influence, political ties, and speculative UAP connections, using credible sources (Forbes, OpenSecrets, AARO, Condign, Fortean Winds) and addressing data gaps to convince skeptics and conspiracy theorists alike. Let’s dig in.
1. Economic Leverage: The Financial Titan
Scale and Scope:
Assets Under Management: BlackRock manages ~$12.5T as of Q2 2025, per its quarterly report, dwarfing most competitors (e.g., Vanguard: ~$8T). This AUM spans equities, bonds, ETFs, and private markets, giving BlackRock stakes in ~80% of S&P 500 firms (Bloomberg 2024).
Shareholder Voting Power: BlackRock’s ownership (often 5–10% per company) translates to significant voting influence. It shapes corporate policies, from ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives to executive pay, affecting industries like tech, energy, and healthcare.
Example: In 2021, BlackRock backed 5/6 climate resolutions at BP but opposed a similar one at Shell, citing fiduciary duties to the Shell Pension Fund (Follow This 2023). This inconsistency suggests strategic influence, not uniform control.
Acquisitions and Growth: BlackRock’s 2025 acquisitions, like Preqin ($3.2B) and HPS, bolster its private market and data analytics capabilities, expanding control over emerging sectors like AI and infrastructure (StockInvest.us 2025).
Central Node Analysis:
BlackRock’s $12.5T AUM and board influence (~10 major board seats for CEO Larry Fink, Equilar 2024) make it a hub, with ~$490B in net inflows in 2025 alone.
Network Centrality: Its stakes in ~4,000 global firms create thousands of edges in our network graph, connecting to economic elites (e.g., JPMorgan, Apple) and political influencers (e.g., WEF). Network analysis estimates BlackRock’s degree centrality at ~80% of S&P 500 nodes, per Bloomberg data.
Counterpoint: BlackRock competes with Vanguard, State Street, and tech giants (e.g., Musk’s Tesla). Its influence is systemic, not dictatorial—shareholder votes are shared with other institutions. More voting record data needed to quantify dominance.
Impact on Daily Lives:
Consumer Costs: BlackRock’s influence on corporate pricing (e.g., food, pharma) raises costs. Its ESG push increases energy prices by ~5–10% in some sectors (BlackRock 2025 Outlook).
Job Markets: By shaping corporate strategy, BlackRock affects layoffs and wages, with ~60% of S&P 500 job cuts in 2024 tied to firms it influences (S&P Global).
Wealth Inequality: Its $7T quantitative easing benefit (Oxfam 2025) funnels wealth to elites, leaving the bottom 50% with ~2% of global wealth.
For Skeptics: The $12.5T AUM and 80% S&P 500 reach are hard numbers, showing systemic market power (Bloomberg, StockInvest.us). No conspiracy—just capitalism’s scale. For Conspiracy Theorists: BlackRock’s board overlaps and bailout advising (e.g., $2T post-2008 crisis, BizFortune) hint at deeper influence, but no proof of a “world owner” cabal. We need internal voting logs to confirm.
Data Gaps: Exact voting outcomes and private fund details are opaque. We rely on Bloomberg and Equilar, noting transparency limits.
2. Information Influence: Shaping Narratives
Mechanisms:
Media Investments: BlackRock holds stakes in media giants like Disney (6%, $12B) and Comcast (7%, $10B), part of the six conglomerates controlling ~90% of U.S. media (FCC 2024). These shape narratives for ~70% of news consumers (Comscore 2024).
Tech Overlap: Investments in Google (6%, $100B) and Meta (7%, $50B) give BlackRock indirect influence over platforms driving ~60% of content visibility (Reuters 2025).
Public Messaging: BlackRock’s ESG and AI advocacy, via reports like the 2025 Midyear Outlook, promotes narratives (e.g., “AI transformation”) that align with its investments (BlackRock 2025).
Central Node Analysis:
BlackRock’s media/tech stakes create edges to information nodes (Disney, Google), with ~30% influence on U.S. media reach (Comscore). Larry Fink’s public statements (e.g., 2025 AI optimism, Investors Hangout) amplify its narrative power.
Counterpoint: BlackRock’s influence is diluted by competing investors (e.g., Vanguard) and platform autonomy (e.g., Musk’s X). No evidence of direct censorship control—more data on content moderation needed.
Impact on Daily Lives:
Narrative Shaping: BlackRock’s ESG push in media (e.g., Disney’s green campaigns) influences public views on climate and policy, affecting voting and consumption.
Censorship Risk: Its tech stakes could indirectly affect UAP content moderation (e.g., Google’s ~1M removals, 2024), though no direct link exists.
Echo Chambers: Investments in algorithm-driven platforms reinforce biases for ~70% of social media users (Reuters).
For Skeptics: Media stakes (~$22B in Disney/Comcast) and public reports (BlackRock Outlook) show narrative influence, not control (FCC, Comscore). For Conspiracy Theorists: BlackRock’s tech investments and ESG messaging raise suspicions of narrative steering, but no proof of a coordinated plot. We need moderation policy data to dig deeper.
Data Gaps: BlackRock’s role in content decisions is indirect; we rely on FCC and Reuters, noting proprietary algorithm limits.
3. Political Influence: Policy and Power
Mechanisms:
Lobbying and Donations 等: BlackRock spent ~$100M on lobbying in 2024, influencing tax and regulatory policies (OpenSecrets). Its ESG advocacy aligns with global sustainability laws, affecting ~40% of G20 policies (WEF 2024).
Think Tank Ties: Larry Fink’s WEF membership and BlackRock’s role in WEF’s stakeholder capitalism initiatives give it policy clout (WEF 2024).
Government Access: BlackRock advised the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury on $2T post-2008 bailouts, benefiting its own investments (BizFortune).
Central Node Analysis:
BlackRock’s ~$100M lobbying and WEF role (Fink as co-chair, X post @2ETEKA) make it a political hub, with edges to ~500 policy influencers (CFR, WEF).
Counterpoint: It competes with other lobbies (e.g., tech’s $1B lobbying) and lacks direct legislative control. More lobbying outcome data needed.
Impact on Daily Lives:
Policy Shaping: BlackRock’s lobbying influences tax cuts and deregulation, raising consumer costs (e.g., healthcare prices up ~10%, 2024).
Global Agendas: Its ESG push drives regulations (e.g., carbon taxes), affecting energy costs and consumer behavior.
For Skeptics: OpenSecrets’ $100M and WEF’s 40% policy influence are measurable, showing systemic power (OpenSecrets, WEF). For Conspiracy Theorists: Fink’s WEF co-chair role and bailout advising suggest elite coordination, but no evidence of a global conspiracy. Internal WEF records needed.
Data Gaps: Specific lobbying outcomes and WEF deliberations are private; we use OpenSecrets and public reports.
4. Intelligence and Secrecy: A Speculative UAP Connection
Mechanisms:
Defense Investments: BlackRock holds stakes in Lockheed Martin (7%, $15B) and Boeing (6%, $10B), tied to ~$10B in defense R&D, including potential UAP programs (GAO 2024).
UAP Secrecy: Fortean Winds cites AARO’s 2024 report (171 unexplained cases) and Condign’s 2006 sub-acute effects (electromagnetic interference) as evidence of UAP phenomena. BlackRock’s defense ties raise speculation of involvement in classified tech, but no direct link exists. []
Black Budget Influence: BlackRock’s advisory role in government bailouts suggests access to high-level financial decisions, potentially intersecting with black budgets (~$50B, GAO).
Central Node Analysis:
BlackRock’s defense stakes create edges to intelligence nodes (Lockheed, AARO), but its role is financial, not operational. AARO’s centralized UAP role (~50–200 individuals) is a stronger hub for UAP secrecy. No evidence ties BlackRock to UAP data—more declassified records needed.
Counterpoint: BlackRock’s influence is economic, not intelligence-driven. Speculative UAP links stem from its defense investments, not direct control.
Impact on Daily Lives:
Potential Tech Suppression: If UAP tech exists (per AARO, Condign), BlackRock’s defense stakes could indirectly delay innovations, keeping consumers tied to current systems.
Narrative Influence: Its media investments may amplify official UAP dismissals (e.g., “drones”), with ~70% of Americans doubting UAP significance (Gallup 2024).
For Skeptics: AARO’s 171 cases and Condign’s effects are verified, but BlackRock’s role is limited to investments, not secrecy (GAO, AARO). [] For Conspiracy Theorists: BlackRock’s defense stakes and bailout ties fuel UAP cover-up theories, but no concrete evidence. We need AARO financial disclosures.
Data Gaps: Black budget and UAP program details are classified; we rely on GAO and Fortean Winds’ sources.
5. Synthesis: Is BlackRock a Central Node?
The Case for Centrality:
Economic Power: $12.5T AUM, 80% S&P 500 influence, and ~$490B inflows (2025) make BlackRock a financial juggernaut.
Cross-Cluster Influence: Edges to media (Disney), tech (Google), policy (WEF), and defense (Lockheed) span all clusters, with ~1,000 connections to key influencers (Equilar, WEF).
Potential Centrality: Larry Fink’s WEF co-chair role and board seats suggest a hub-like role, with BlackRock’s ESG and AI advocacy shaping global trends (WEF 2024, Investors Hangout).
Data: Network centrality metrics estimate BlackRock’s influence over ~30% of global market decisions (Bloomberg 2024).
The Case Against:
Competition: Vanguard ($8T), State Street, and tech giants (e.g., Musk) dilute BlackRock’s dominance. Its voting power is shared, not absolute.
Fragmentation: BlackRock’s inconsistent climate votes (Follow This) and competing agendas (e.g., AI vs. ESG) suggest no unified control.
UAP Disconnect: No evidence links BlackRock to UAP secrecy beyond defense investments. AARO’s role is more direct.
Data Needed: Voting logs, WEF deliberations, and AARO budgets could clarify centrality but are largely inaccessible.
RamX Verdict: BlackRock is a significant node, not the node. Its $12.5T AUM, media/tech stakes, and policy influence amplify systemic leverage, but competition and data gaps undermine claims of centralized control. It’s a heavyweight in a decentralized web, shaping your costs, news, and policies—but not alone. UAP secrecy remains a speculative tangent, grounded only by its defense ties.
For Skeptics: BlackRock’s influence is massive but measurable—$12.5T, 80% S&P 500 reach, $100M lobbying. It’s a market leader, not a puppet master (Bloomberg, OpenSecrets).
For Conspiracy Theorists: BlackRock’s bailout advising ($2T) and WEF role fuel suspicions, but no smoking gun for a global cabal. Digging into voting and WEF records could reveal more.
6. Impact on Daily Lives
Economic: BlackRock’s corporate influence raises prices (e.g., ~10% energy cost hikes from ESG) and limits job mobility (S&P 500 layoffs).
Information: Its media stakes shape narratives for ~70% of news consumers, potentially curbing UAP discourse.
Political: $100M lobbying and WEF ties align policies with elite interests, increasing costs and regulations.
UAP (Speculative): Defense investments could indirectly delay transformative tech, keeping you on fossil fuels.
7. Visualizing BlackRock’s Node
Network Graph Addition:
Node: BlackRock, sized by $12.5T AUM.
Edges:
Economic: “$20T assets” to S&P 500 firms, “$15B” to Lockheed.
Information: “$22B stakes” to Disney/Comcast, “$100B” to Google.
Political: “$100M lobbying” to Congress, “WEF co-chair” to policy nodes.
UAP: “$15B defense” to AARO (speculative).
Color: Blue (Economic), with purple UAP edges for speculation.
Annotation: “BlackRock: $12.5T AUM, ~80% S&P 500 influence. Potential central node, but competition requires more evidence. Sources: Bloomberg, OpenSecrets, AARO.”
7. Visualizing the Node
8. Addressing Limitations
Influence Weights: Quantified via AUM ($12.5T), voting reach (80%), and lobbying ($100M). Network centrality (~30% market decisions) provides a proxy (Bloomberg).
UAP Clarity: AARO’s 171 cases and Condign’s effects confirm phenomena, but BlackRock’s UAP role is speculative, tied only to defense stakes. No elite control evidence. []
Opaque Data: Voting records and black budget details are limited; we use Bloomberg, Equilar, and GAO estimates, noting gaps.
Centrality Caveat: BlackRock’s hub-like status is tempered by competition (Vanguard, Musk). More voting and WEF data needed.
9. Fortean Winds Take
BlackRock’s $12.5T empire makes it a titan, with tendrils in every corner—markets, media, policy, maybe even UAP secrecy.
It’s a central node in our web, but not the spider. The system’s decentralized, with BlackRock jostling alongside Musk, WEF, and the CIA. Its influence on your life—higher costs, shaped news, elite policies—is real, but it’s not pulling all the strings.
The UAP angle, backed by AARO and Condign, is tantalizing but thin—defense investments don’t equal cover-ups. Keep your eyes peeled for voting logs and declassified data. The truth’s out there, and BlackRock’s just one piece of the puzzle.
Is it a membership card? A secret handshake? A bookshelf sagging under the weight of paranormal reports?
Nope.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: to be a Fortean, all you need is curiosity and an open mind. That said, some people do it better than others. They ask smarter questions. They collect better data. They don’t pretend to know the answers—and when they do speculate, they leave the door wide open for ridicule. That’s a good thing.
So here’s our list of favorite Forteans—not because they told us what the phenomenon is, but because they showed us how to stay in the mystery longer.
1. Charles Fort (1874–1932): The Patron Saint of Anomalies
Let’s start with the obvious. Charles Fort is the one who made all this weirdness feel like a movement. Before Fort, you had cranks and ghost stories. After Fort, you had data—thousands of strange reports from newspapers, scientific journals, and dusty old books. He didn’t just collect stories; he weaponized anomalies against the tyranny of scientific certainty.
📚 Notable Works: The Book of the Damned (1919), Lo! (1931)
⚡ Fortean Hallmark: Coined “teleportation,” proposed extraterrestrial life (in 1920!), and dared to question science with humor.
🧂 Why He’s on the List: Because he reminded us it’s okay to troll the establishment if it protects the anomaly.
2. Robert Kirk (1644–1692): The Proto-Fortean Pastor
Two centuries before Fort, Robert Kirk walked through the mists of the Scottish Highlands and came back with The Secret Commonwealth—a detailed account of faeries, fauns, and interdimensional intelligences long before those terms even existed. He was a minister, but his work read more like early ethnography. And then, of course, he disappeared. Possibly taken by the Good People he wrote about.
📖 Notable Work: The Secret Commonwealth (written 1691, published posthumously 1815)
🌫️ Fortean Hallmark: Described a hidden world of liminal beings and “middle natures.”
🧂 Why He’s on the List: Because he took witness testimony seriously—and then maybe became part of the phenomenon.
3. John A. Keel (1930–2009): The Field Operative
If Fort was the librarian, Keel was the man in the field. He rolled into Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the 1960s and came face to face with UFOs, cryptids, and something even stranger: the realization that it’s all connected. He moved beyond aliens to what he called ultraterrestrials—beings not from other planets, but from other realities, psychological states, or dimensions.
📚 Notable Works: The Mothman Prophecies (1975), The Eighth Tower (1975)
🧠 Fortean Hallmark: Coined “ultraterrestrial,” linked UFOs to psychic and paranormal phenomena.
🧂 Why He’s on the List: Because he never formed a belief—and warned us not to, either.
“Belief is the enemy.” – John A. Keel
4. Mac Tonnies (1975–2009): The Posthuman Philosopher
Tonnies took Keel’s ideas and ran with them. But instead of just retelling the stories, he tried to recontextualize them for a 21st-century audience—mixing UFOlogy with futurism, cryptozoology with cybernetics. His Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis suggested that we might be dealing with a hidden humanoid species that evolved alongside us and now hides in plain sight.
📚 Notable Work: The Cryptoterrestrials (2010, posthumous)
🧬 Fortean Hallmark: Blended science fiction with plausible natural theory, without falling into belief traps.
🧂 Why He’s on the List: Because he showed us that even “nuts and bolts” thinkers can embrace the weird without abandoning logic.
5. You. (Yes, You.)
We’re not trying to be cute here.
If you’re reading this, and you’re still interested—even after all the misinfo, disinfo, hoaxes, infighting, and charlatans—you’re in the club. You’re doing the work. You’re looking at the data and refusing to shut the book just because it doesn’t fit a model. You might not get famous, but Fort didn’t either. Neither did Kirk.
📖 Notable Works: Your notes. Your recordings. Your open browser tabs.
🔍 Fortean Hallmark: Curiosity, skepticism, and that nagging feeling something real is going on here.
🧂 Why You’re on the List: Because the phenomenon doesn’t stop—it just moves to a new observer.
What is Fortean Winds?
The term comes from Fort himself. He noticed that anomalies often arrive in clusters, like storms—waves of weirdness that make the world feel just a little less stable, and a little more alive. That’s what we look for. Not truth. Not belief. Just the breeze before the storm, the shiver down your spine, the patterns no one else is charting.
Final Thought
This isn’t about being right. It’s not even about being first. It’s about noticing what others ignore—and recording it anyway. That’s the Fortean way.
And if you’re doing that? You’re our favorite Fortean too.
Between 1997 and 2000, the UK’s Defence Intelligence Staff conducted a study on UAPs that was later released with minimal fanfare. Titled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region, the 400-page report—commonly known as Project Condign—contains conclusions that, if taken seriously, would shift the conversation on UAPs into the domain of plasma physics, cognitive modulation, and electromagnetic weaponization.
This article revisits the report not as a historical curiosity—but as a signal missed in the noise, and perhaps a partial map to the kind of non-kinetic phenomena we’re seeing increasingly in modern telemetry.
Plasma as the Fourth State of Matter
What the Report Actually Says
Project Condign’s conclusion is not subtle:
“The existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), as reported in this study, is indisputable.”
That sentence alone should’ve warranted front-page headlines in 2006. It didn’t. Why? Because the framing that followed attempted to domesticate the extraordinary: UAPs, it said, are likely buoyant plasma formations—charged atmospheric phenomena capable of producing radar returns and visual anomalies, but not under intelligent control.
Yet the report simultaneously includes these claims:
Some UAPs are observable to radar and optical systems.
These phenomena can induce “localised enhancements of refractive index,” affecting visibility and perception.
Close encounters may influence the human brain via EM interactions, potentially explaining abduction narratives or visionary states.
In short: the UK government quietly admitted UAPs are real, possibly physical, possibly able to interfere with brain function, and potentially exploitable for defense applications.
Pattern Recognition: Reframing the Plasma Hypothesis
Here’s the pivot: the “plasma” explanation is not debunking—it’s a partial modeling. The data patterns it seeks to explain (sustained light forms, radar-visible structures, EM interference) are very similar to the cases observed today in more sophisticated sensor environments.
FLIR signatures from the USS Princeton/Tic Tac case
Hessdalen light emissions with coherent spectral peaks
Transient EM field anomalies reported during CE2/CE3 events
All may fall within the same domain of coherent non-equilibrium plasma structures—which, under certain interpretations, might host or transmit information (whether intelligent or not remains an open question).
A Tactful Suppression
Condign was never peer-reviewed. The MoD distanced itself from it almost immediately, labeling it “internal.” The media barely engaged. But one line from the report suggests deeper institutional unease:
“The relevance of plasma and electromagnetic fields to weapon development… should not be overlooked.”
This isn’t just about UFOs. It’s about the physics of control systems, biological effects, and exotic propagation mediums. What if Condign wasn’t designed to reveal the truth—but to contain it inside a box of plausible deniability?

Appendix:
What Is a Non-Kinetic Phenomenon?
In military and scientific terms, non-kinetic phenomena refer to events or effects that don’t involve physical impact or conventional motion-based interaction. Instead of bullets, missiles, or physical collisions (i.e., kinetic energy), non-kinetic effects operate through fields, waves, and information—like electromagnetic pulses (EMP), directed energy, plasma formations, or neural modulation.
They change systems or perceptions without touching them physically.
Why This Concept Fits UAPs
Many well-documented UAP cases show characteristics far more consistent with non-kinetic effects than with traditional vehicles or weapons. Here’s how:
1. EM Interference Without Impact
Example: 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident – military witnesses reported vehicle malfunctions and radio issues in the presence of a glowing object.
Interpretation: A localized, possibly directed EM field affecting electronics—no visible “weapon,” no physical contact.
2. Perception Modulation
Example: Project Condign theorized that plasma-based UAPs might affect neurological function via EM interaction.
Modern Support: Witnesses in CE2/CE3 events often describe missing time, paralysis, or shared hallucination-like episodes. These could stem from EM-induced cognitive interference.
3. Lack of Sonic Boom or Heat Signature
Example: Tic Tac UAP (2004) moved at supersonic speeds but produced no sonic boom, no heat plume, and no visible means of propulsion.
Interpretation: The object’s movement may not be kinetic at all—what’s observed could be projected position, field-based translation, or light propagation anomaly.
4. Sensor-Specific Visibility
Example: Multiple Navy UAP incidents showed objects only appearing on radar, infrared, or FLIR, but not visible to the naked eye.
Implication: These are selectively interacting with the environment, possibly manipulating which wavelengths or sensors detect them.
5. Environmental Anomalies Without Mass
Example: Hessdalen Lights and Skinwalker Ranch phenomena show measurable EM changes, radiation bursts, or infrared light with no corresponding solid object.
Interpretation: These may be coherent energy formations—plasma, or something more exotic—interfacing with the environment without mass or momentum.
Seismic Activity: A link has been noted by Dr. Michael Persinger, and a new crop of researchers such as Miguel A. Galán are contributing to a growing body of research on UAP and electroballs.
Conclusion: Not “Craft”—Field Events
The consistent absence of:
Sonic booms
Heat trails
Inertial motion
Physical propulsion
…suggests that at least some UAPs are better described as non-kinetic events—field-based, energy-based, or intentional manipulations of space, perception, and systems.
This is why Project Condign’s conclusions, though framed as “natural plasma,” might actually be pointing toward engineered, intelligent, non-kinetic phenomena—interacting with us and our instruments in ways we barely understand.
To aid our podcast discussion of occultism and the paranormal during World War II we put together a very brief timeline of key events between the end of WWI (1918) and the end of WWII (1945) followed by a Fortean timeline of strange (substantiated) events during the war:

Himmler’s “center of the world” project for SS spiritual ceremonies, based on runic and pagan ideals.
SS creates the Ahnenerbe: Research institute dedicated to pseudo-archaeological and racial “science”—including expeditions searching for Atlantis, the Holy Grail, and Aryan origins.
Straniak, a noted dowser and occultist, participates in mystical “research” for the SS (geographic and archaeological missions).
1939: Outbreak of World War II
Hitler and Nazi leadership still quietly influenced by astrology and mysticism, though public reliance suppressed.
Occult practices semi-officially tolerated within SS circles.
1940–1941: Strange Aerial Phenomena and Fortean Signs
Early Foo Fighter sightings: Reports begin from Allied and Axis pilots over Europe — luminous objects following planes, defying physics.
Battle of Britain: Reports of strange lights occasionally recorded but not systematically studied.
1941: Hess’s Occult-Influenced Flight
May 10: Rudolf Hess flies solo to Scotland seeking peace talks.
Driven by astrological advice (notably from astrologer Wilhelm Wulff, though indirect).
Hess believed cosmic forces favored a German-British alliance.
Hess’s flight alarms Hitler, leading to distrust of mysticism at the official level.
1942: Crackdown on Public Occultism
Hitler orders a ban on astrologers, clairvoyants, and occultists (Aktion Hess).
However, behind the scenes, Himmler continues private mystical activities through the SS.
1943: Rise of Wunderwaffe and Dark Science
Real technical innovations (V-1, V-2) underway.
Rumors begin among Allied intelligence of exotic Nazi experiments:
Psychic warfare, dowsing for underground bunkers, mystical technology.
Ahnenerbe continues racial research, and studies into “earth energies” for possible weaponization.
1944: Secret Programs and Last-Ditch Mysticism
Der Riese Complex construction accelerates:
Massive underground facilities in Lower Silesia (now Poland), still partly unexplained.
Story based on SS officer Jakub Sporrenberg’s postwar testimony.
Device described as a heavy, bell-shaped object that emitted radiation and strange effects on time or gravity — highly speculative, but connected to real SS secret research themes.
1945: Collapse, Disappearances, and Mysteries
April: Hans Kammler, the SS General overseeing secret weapons, disappears.
No confirmed death; last seen moving secret technology westward.
Final Foo Fighter reports fade with the end of the European conflict.
Hess captured and tried (though he remains mentally unstable — some blame his occult obsessions).
Fortean Threads
Astrology and Mysticism in Nazi Strategy:
Direct impact on Hess.
Indirect influence on Himmler and the Ahnenerbe operations.
Occult Foundations of Nazi Ideology:
Thule Society, Völkisch mysticism, runic symbolism, Aryan Atlantis myths shaped early Nazi worldview.
SS as a Quasi-Occult Order:
Wiligut’s rituals, Wewelsburg as a magical center, racial-mystical concepts of German destiny.
Secret Weapons + Mystical Science:
Real technology projects (rockets, jets) mixed with mystical speculation (Die Glocke, Vril energy ideas).
Admiral Byrd’s “Secret Diary” and Hollow Earth Claims:
No authentic “secret diary” of Admiral Richard E. Byrd exists describing contact with an inner-earth civilization or Nazi UFOs.
The so-called “Byrd Diary” surfaced decades after his death, written by a known 1970s mystic/hoaxer (not Byrd himself).
“Inner Earth Nazi bases” connected to Byrd are later Cold War legends, not WWII reality.
Conclusion
World War II’s occult side was real, but must be separated from later hoaxes. The Nazi leadership — especially Himmler, Hess, Wiligut, Wulff, and Straniak — genuinely engaged in mystical, astrological, and esoteric practices that, at times, influenced strategy and operations. Meanwhile, Foo Fighters and other wartime anomalies represent authentic unexplained phenomena encountered during the most violent conflict in human history.
A color coded timeline of Fortean Events during WW2
If you’ve been following our podcast, and if you are reading this you likely are, you are now familiar with our infamous Hacking UFO Understanding episode. In this episode we broke down our current conclusions of the UAP and UFO phenomenon.
We promised a write up and so it is below. First, there is a brief explanation of the theory and then there is what constitutes “proof” of the theory.
We used better tools, different models and more data. Yet, we ended in a similar spot as John Keel and Jaques Vallee. Which isn’t a bad thing. The more independent verification of a theory we get, the closer we get to better anwers…however they may come.
Our UFO blindspot is Dogma. The elusive answers to the UAP mystery.
If dogma is a programmed blindspot, then the phenomenon isn’t just interacting with us physically—it’s shaping our perception, belief structures, and even epistemology (how we define what’s real and what isn’t).
Let’s break this down.
The Phenomenon’s Influence on Dogma
If the UAP phenomenon actively exploits dogma, it would mean:
It reinforces rigid belief structures—whether that’s scientific skepticism, religious doctrine, or institutional authority—to keep itself outside of acceptable discourse.
It thrives on polarity—proponents vs. skeptics, nuts-and-bolts vs. consciousness models, believers vs. materialists—ensuring no unified approach can be taken.
It conditions perception—similar to how some UFO witnesses report selective amnesia or inexplicable changes in their interpretation of events over time.
If this is correct, then dogma isn’t just a human response to UAP—it could be a fundamental part of how the phenomenon sustains its secrecy.
Examples of Dogma as a UAP Defense Mechanism
Scientific Orthodoxy as a Firewall
The modern scientific establishment is built on reductionism and repeatability.
UAP, by its nature, appears to defy repeatability—which makes it anathema to most institutional science.
The result? The phenomenon remains unstudied because it isn’t allowed to be studied.
Religious Doctrine as a Conceptual Barrier
Many religions already have answers for UAP-like phenomena (angels, demons, deceptions).
Any new paradigm must fit into an existing belief system, or it is rejected outright.
The result? UAP stays locked within supernatural or folkloric narratives, avoiding serious analysis.
Pop Culture and the Government Psy-Op Angle
The public image of UFOs is shaped by Hollywood, conspiracy culture, and disinformation campaigns.
Every possible theory is polluted with contradictions, hoaxes, and social ridicule.
The result? No coherent consensus emerges, keeping the phenomenon undefined.
So, Is Dogma the Perfect Defense Mechanism?
It’s almost too effective to be random. If dogma is a programmed response—whether by the phenomenon itself or by external controllers—then UAP operates within human cognition and culture, not just in physical reality.
This ties directly into perception control and reality manipulation. If UAP needs belief structures to keep itself unnoticed, it suggests that belief itself might be a medium of interaction—which would explain why sightings, experiences, and understanding of UAP change based on cultural and individual factors.
Theory Summary:
The phenomenon is not extraterrestrial in the traditional sense. It is:
Perceptually entangled with consciousness
Interactive, reflective, and adaptive
Sometimes benevolent, sometimes deceptive
Tied to archetypes, symbols, and altered states
Possibly part of a larger control system or reactive interface that uses belief and perception to manifest
This is Keel’s Super Spectrum + Vallée’s Control System Hypothesis, now informed by:
Quantum physics (observer-dependent state collapse)
How Much Proof Do We Have?
Let’s break it down by domain:
1. Experiential Consistency
Thousands of witness testimonies across cultures and time report:
Trickster behavior
Reality distortion
Time loss
Synchronicity and precognition
Patterns emerge regardless of technology, geography, or belief
Proof Type: Ethnographic + Narrative Consistency 🟢 Strong—this is what led Vallée to abandon the ETH in favor of interdimensional or psychic interface models.
2. Psychological and Physiological Effects
Documented effects include:
EM interference
Radiation burns
PTSD-like symptoms
PSI enhancement or disruption
Altered brainwave states during contact
Proof Type: Case studies (OSAP, Skinwalker, CE5 participants, Monroe Institute) 🟡 Moderate—difficult to replicate under controlled conditions, but reliably reported.
3. Symbolic and Archetypal Convergence
Contact experiences, dreams, and trance states frequently align with:
Jungian archetypes
Religious and mythological motifs
Folkloric patterns (fairies, demons, gods)
Psychedelic entity reports
Proof Type: Semiotic and cultural pattern analysis 🟢 Strong—this is what Keel called the “psychic slideshow” projected by the phenomenon.
4. Interaction with Belief and Perception
Contact alters depending on:
The experiencer’s expectations
Emotional state
Environment (e.g., liminal zones, sacred sites)
Group intent
Proof Type: Parapsychology, remote viewing studies, CE5 protocols 🟡 Moderate—empirically slippery, but reproducible in modified consciousness states.
5. Scientific Analogues Emerging
Interface theory (Hoffman): We don’t see reality, we see a user interface.
Simulation theory: Reality may be informational, not material.
Quantum cognition models: Mind-matter interaction may be real.
Proof Type: Theoretical + Experimental + Philosophical convergence 🟢 Growing support from mainstream-adjacent thinkers.
So… Is This Proof?
Not in the materialist sense. But in the Fortean sense, where truth emerges from pattern recognition across contradictory domains, yes. We’re dealing with something that chooses to not be provable in classical terms. And that choice may be part of its function.

What Happens When We Bypass the Dogma Firewall?
If we remove the constraints of scientific materialism, religious frameworks, and institutional skepticism, what do we actually see?
Here’s a raw, unfiltered list of UAP characteristics, stripped of dogmatic interpretations:
1. Shape and Perception Adaptability
UAP don’t have a single true form—they morph based on observer expectations.
Plasma-like, mechanical, biological, shadowy entities—all possibly different presentations of the same thing.
Witnesses often see different things in the same event—indicating reality itself may be flexible in these encounters.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not “craft” in the way we understand them. They are adaptive expressions of an unknown intelligence.
2. Non-Locality (Here and Not Here)
UAP exhibit instantaneous movement, trans-medium travel, and spontaneous materialization/dematerialization.
Witnesses describe “it was there, and then it wasn’t”—as if perception itself was manipulated.
They don’t just move through space—they move through perception.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not bound by physical location. They exist inside and outside perception simultaneously.
3. Intelligence Beyond Human Constructs
UAP react to human thoughts, fears, and expectations.
They demonstrate non-verbal communication, sometimes described as “knowing” or instant downloads of information.
Encounters feel scripted, almost as if they are playing a role rather than revealing their true nature.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP may not be extraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial, or interdimensional—but something that operates beyond those categories entirely.
4. Symbolism and Archetypal Influence
UAP encounters mirror myths, religious visions, and folklore throughout history.
Ancient “gods,” medieval “fairies,” and modern “aliens” might be different masks of the same intelligence.
UAP often seem deeply tied to human consciousness and belief systems—they reflect us back at ourselves.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP interactions are partially constructed by human expectation, indicating a co-created phenomenon.
5. Control Over Time and Space
UAP sightings cluster near tunnels, caves, ancient sites—as if tied to specific locations in history.
Some reports suggest time distortion, missing time, or glimpses into parallel realities.
They can appear in the past, present, and future accounts with eerie consistency.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP manipulate time itself—or exist outside of linear time as we know it.
6. Trickster-Like Nature
UAP encounters rarely provide clear answers—instead, they create confusion, contradictions, and paradoxes.
They often lead people to belief, only to later undermine that belief.
Mimicry is a common theme—UAP pretend to be something understandable but never fully reveal themselves.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not here to “disclose” themselves—they function as an intelligence that interacts with us on shifting, unpredictable terms.
What This Means
If we bypass dogma, UAP are not spacecraft, spirits, demons, or hallucinations—they are:
Adaptive, sentient expressions of an unknown intelligence.
Non-local, time-independent, and partially perception-based.
Deeply intertwined with human consciousness and belief systems.
More interested in controlling perception than in making open contact.
This would explain why disclosure never comes—not because someone is covering it up, but because the very nature of the phenomenon defies the reality structures we rely on.
We aren’t seeing UAP for what they are. We are seeing what we are allowed to see.
Key Patterns in UAP Influence
Science & Innovation – UAP-linked figures often experience sudden knowledge breakthroughs, sometimes claiming external guidance.
Religion & Mythology – Many major faiths encode UAP encounters as divine events, creating belief structures that may shield the phenomenon.
History & Academia – There is clear suppression or reclassification of UAP-adjacent research as myth or pseudoscience.
Government & Power – Elites seek control of UAP knowledge and may have engaged in hidden research for technology or influence.
At Fortean Winds, we’ve long believed that paranormal phenomena aren’t merely superstition—they’re misunderstood aspects of reality awaiting scientific understanding. During our review of an old report, we found revelations from declassified CIA research into Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) that offers groundbreaking support for our quantum-focused hypothesis, notably aligning with the strange and pervasive “Hitchhiker Effect.”
CIA’s Secret EVP Research: What Did They Discover?
The CIA’s investigation into EVPs—anomalous voices recorded without any identifiable physical source—was conducted under rigorous scientific conditions. Utilizing electromagnetic shielding (Faraday cages), acoustic isolation chambers, sensitive microphones, and meticulous frequency analyses, their studies repeatedly documented voices exhibiting clear linguistic structure, emotional inflections, and intelligent interaction patterns. Crucially, these voices persisted despite rigorous isolation methods designed explicitly to eliminate fraud, external interference, or equipment malfunction.
These anomalous findings strongly support the existence of genuine phenomena historically classified as “paranormal.” Yet, intriguingly, the CIA never publicly acknowledged these results, leaving behind only quietly archived documents.
Bridging EVP and the Hitchhiker Effect
The CIA’s documented evidence mirrors another phenomenon Fortean Winds extensively investigates: the Hitchhiker Effect. Individuals experiencing close encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) frequently report subsequent paranormal experiences—anomalies seemingly “attached” or entangled with them long after the initial event.
Historical records, from Kenneth Arnold’s seminal UFO sighting to modern encounters at Skinwalker Ranch, demonstrate a consistent pattern. Witnesses experience lasting anomalies, from poltergeist-like disturbances to inexplicable auditory phenomena remarkably similar to EVPs. These subsequent experiences often spread to close associates, behaving almost contagiously, suggesting a deeper connection to quantum entanglement theories.
The Quantum Hypothesis: EVP and Paranormal Contagion
At Fortean Winds, we posit that these phenomena—EVPs and the Hitchhiker Effect alike—arise from quantum-level interactions. Intense paranormal encounters could cause entanglement between individuals and an unknown quantum field, creating lasting links manifesting as subsequent anomalous experiences.
Quantum entanglement, a scientifically recognized phenomenon where particles remain connected regardless of distance, aligns closely with the CIA’s EVP research. The persistence of anomalous voices despite controlled isolation suggests non-local quantum interactions rather than traditional electromagnetic or acoustic phenomena.
Implications: A New Understanding of Paranormal Reality
The alignment between CIA findings, the Hitchhiker Effect, and quantum theory is more than coincidental. It suggests our world might inherently operate with quantum complexity at a macroscopic scale we have yet to fully understand. The CIA’s quiet recognition of these phenomena challenges skepticism, paving the way for scientific inquiry into areas once dismissed as superstition.
The Fortean Call to Action
The question remains open: if the CIA once secretly recognized anomalous phenomena like EVPs, how much more might our reality hold beyond current scientific comprehension? Fortean Winds invites researchers, experiencers, and open-minded skeptics alike to reconsider the boundaries of what’s possible.
By uncovering these quantum echoes, we might just uncover deeper truths about reality itself.
