Part Three
The Messengers
This section is designed to provide the reader with general information
about the authors whose references and information I used in the first
part of Project Open Mind. I was not always able to obtain
personal information about the authors and in those cases, I included
more information about their books or research instead.
Bain, Donald. The Control of Candy Jones. Chicago, Illinois:
Playboy Press, (Distributed by Simon & Schuster, Inc. New York)
1976.
Jacket Highlights - "Beautiful and talented, Candy Jones was
America's leading model of the Forties and Fifties. In one month,
she was on the cover of 11 magazines and featured in a smash Broadway
play. Then she fell on hard times. In 1960, she relates, she was financially
receptive to a CIA approach that she act as a courier. She asserts
that she served the agency for 12 years. This is Candy's own story
of those tumultuous years, recreated from tapes made while she was
under deep hypnosis....It was while under hypnosis that Candy told
of being used as a human guinea pig in a CIA mind-control program.
This chilling story was drawn from over 200 hours of tapes recorded
during Candy's trances."
"Under hypnosis, Candy relates how a CIA physician split her
psyche into two distinct personalities, giving him two women within
one body to do his bidding. She tells of traveling to Taiwan where
she was physically tortured; of being put on display at the agency's
headquarters; of being driven to the brink of suicide during an attempt
to silence her....recent disclosures of CIA mind-control experiments
make her story undeniably plausible...."
Bamford, James. The Puzzle Palace. Sidgwick and Jackson: London,
1983.
From Timothy Good's Above Top Secret, page 416: "In 1982
a sensational book by James Bamford, The Puzzle Palace, revealed
a wealth of hitherto secret information about the NSA - an agency
so secret that it was sometimes referred to as "No Such Agency."
Although Bamford's book did not mention UFOs, if you want more information
about the NSA and their involvement with UFOs, I highly recommend
that you read Timothy Good's Above Top Secret.
Begich, Nicholas J. and Jeane Manning. Angels Don't Play This
HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology. Homer, Alaska: Earthpulse
Press, 1995.
From HAARP: "Dr. Nick Begich, eldest son of the late United

story on the HAARP project, published in October, 1994, in Nexus,
an international magazine based in Australia. His research files on
the project and related technologies include more than 400 documents
spanning eighty years of technological developments."
"Jeane Manning is an experienced magazine journalist, reporter

"The U.S. Government has a new ground-based "Star Wars"
weapon which is being tested in the remote bush country of Alaska.
This new system manipulates the environment in a way which can: 1)
Disrupt human mental processes, 2) Jam all global communications systems,
3) Change weather patterns over large areas, 4) Interfere with wildlife
migration patterns, 5) Negatively affect your health, and 6) Unnaturally
impact Earth's upper atmosphere." For more information about

recommend anyone who is interested in the subject of mind control
to read Operation Mind Control.
Cannon, Martin. The Controllers: A New Hypothesis
of Alien Abduction. In 1989 Martin Cannon came forward with a
bold new hypothesis for alien abduction: "The 'UFO abduction'
phenomenon might be a continuation of clandestine mind control
operations." Martin Cannon continues, "I recognize the difficulties
this thesis might present to those readers emotionally wedded to the
extraterrestrial hypothesis, or to those whose political 'weltanshauung'
disallows any such suspicions. Still, the open-minded student of abductions
should consider the possibilities."
Many people have recommended The Controllers to me as a positive
contribution that includes many new possibilities concerning the alien
abduction phenomenon. Martin Cannon's monograph can be found at
http://www.constitution.org/abus/controll.htm

"On the night of October 11, 1973, two very frightened Mississippians,
Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, presented themselves [to] the Jackson
County Sheriff's Department and related a tale almost too incredible
to tell...it also occurred to them that what they had just suffered
might be the prelude to a full-scale invasion of their country."
"Within 36 hours of [their abduction] Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the
world's foremost UFO expert, was in Pascagoula to interview the men.
Before he left the next day he told the press that the men were 'absolutely

him as a leading civilian authority on this investigation."
[Fourth Paragraph] "The Air Force, and its investigating agency,
"Project Bluebook," are aware of Major Keyhoe's conclusion
that the "Flying Saucers" are from another planet. The Air
Force has never denied that this possibility exists....if the apparently

Lammer, Helmut: Dr. Lammer is a scientist with the Austrian Space
Research Institute. He is the Austrian representative for the Mutual
UFO Network and a member of the Society for Scientific Exploration
(SSE). Dr. Lammer has written two books previously. He co-authored
UFO Secrecy with Oliver Sidla (Herbig: Munich) in 1995. UFO
Secrecy covers information about the world wide UFO cover-up,
including: recovered saucers, animal mutilations, abductions and secret
documents. The book's Foreword is written by Illobrand v. Ludwiger,
a theoretical physicist and the director of MUFON-CES.
Dr. Lammer's second book was also co-authored by Oliver Sidla. It
is titled UFO-Close Encounters. (Herbig, Munich, 1996).
The Foreword for UFO-Close Encounters is written
by Jacques Valle. The book covers information about verifiable UFO
events, physical effects, military encounters, radar signals, and
photo and video analysis. Dr. Lammer has also published Covert
Operations: Military Involvement in Mind Control Experiments and UFO
Abductions (in German). A synopsis of this book titled Project
MILAB and can be found on this website. The English version of
a book based on Project MILAB ( titled MILABS!) was
published in 1999, and can be ordered from Illuminet Press.
I am very grateful to Dr. Lammer for sending me a copy of Cybergods,
information about the Carp case and many collections of writings relating
to the subject of mind control. His many questions about my case are
what initiated my investigation into the subject of mind control.
If you believe that you have had involvement with the alien/military-government
subject that is covered in Project Open Mind, please write
to: Dr. Helmut_Lammer, MUFON-CES, Postfach 76, A-8600 Bruck/Mur, Austria.

"Few events have had a more profound impact on the upheavals
of the sixties than the psychedelic revolution spawned by the spread
of LSD. Here is the full astounding story - part of it hidden in secret
Government files - of the role the mind-altering drug played in our
turbulent history and its continuing influence today."
"Acid Dreams is the complete social history of the psychedelic
counter-culture that burst into full view in the Sixties. The authors
reveal how the CIA became obsessed with LSD during the Cold War until
the drug spread into popular culture."
Cybergods is a representation of the significantly more extensive
Computer-Brain Report. The following is a statement printed
at the end of the Cybergods pamphlet:
"The case studies and the x-ray evidence in this paper are just
a small part of the material [showing] that the police in remand centres
and psychiatrists in mental hospitals put internees under sedation
to facilitate the implantation of radio-transmitting materials in
their head and brains. There is also a more comprehensive study which
shows that surgeons implant these objects in patients during operations.
We who have participated in the investigations are not only releasing
all the material to public disposal, but are also offering to give
lectures and take part in radio and television programs, or anything
else which is suggested."
Lindqvist, Lennart, Evamarie Taylor and Robert Naeslund participated
in the investigation for the material contained in Cybergods.

Manchurian Candidate"] is based on 16,000 pages of [government]
documents" as well as "interviews with psychologists and
CIA officials, including one helpful Agency veteran they called 'Deep
Trance.' "

Rowell, Keith. "Keith's Oregonian Articles." Keith Rowell
laboriously retyped about 40 stories covering UFO sightings that occurred
from June 26, 1947 to July 9, 1947. The stories were taken from The
Oregonian, and a now defunct daily, The Oregon Journal.
The Oregonian today, as it was then, is the major daily newspaper
in Oregon, published in Portland. Most of the stories are from The
Oregonian with a few from The Oregon Journal. Keith is
relatively certain that these are all of the UFO stories from The
Oregonian for this time frame.
Keith Rowell is a veteran researcher of government secrecy and the
UFO phenomenon. It is from his private library that I was able to
obtain most of the references I used for this article. Always eager
to educate those willing to keep an open mind, Keith generously loaned
me a stack of books to get me started in my new quest for answers.
He was also very helpful in editing my book, The Alien Jigsaw
and I am very grateful for his generosity.
Mr. Rowell holds a masters degree in library science from the University
of California at Berkeley. He is a former MUFON investigator and member
of the Portland UFO Group. He joined the board of directors when the
group reorganized as The Northwest UFO Group in 1991, and served as
co-director during 1995 and 1996. Keith is now volunteering his time
(between work and family) to assist our local MUFON organization.

Spanos, Nicholas P., Patricia A. Cross, Kirby Dickson, and Susan
D. DuBreuil. "Close Encounters: An Examination of UFO Experiences."
Journal of Abnormal Psychology 102 (1993): 624-631.
Abstract: "Ss (subjects) who reported UFO experiences were divided
into those whose experiences were non intense (e.g., seeing lights
and shapes in the sky) and those whose experiences were intense (e.g.,
seeing and communicating with aliens or missing time). On a battery
of objective tests Ss in these 2 groups did not score as more psychopathological,
less intelligent, or more fantasy prone and hypnotizable than a community
comparison group or a student comparison group. However, Ss in the
UFO groups believed more strongly in space alien visitation than did
comparison Ss. The UFO experiences of Ss in the intense group were
more frequently sleep-related than the experiences of Ss in the non-intense
group. Among the combined UFO Ss, intensity of UFO experiences correlated
significantly with inventories that assessed proneness toward fantasy
and unusual sensory experiences. Implications are discussed."
Turner, Karla. Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda.
Roland, Arkansas: Kelt Works, 1994.
Karla Kandace Turner, Ph.D., earned her B.A. from California State
