Remote Viewing the Planets

Ingo's various remote views of celestial bodies included: Jupiter (1973), Mercury (1974), the Moon (1975), and Mars (1975, 1976, and 1984). Selected information on these sessions is provided below. More can be found in his archives at the University of West Georgia.


For an explanation as to how aspects of this page of the website fits into the narrative of Ingo's life, please see the note on the Home page about his book Penetration.


A Psychic Trip to Jupiter

Under the direction of Drs. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, Ingo undertook what he called "planetary probes." He did these while at SRI in concert with noted psychic Harold Sherman who was at his home in Arkansas at the time. These sessions were remote views of Jupiter (April 27, 1973) and Mercury (March 11, 1974). Targ, in his book Third Eye Spies, claims this was not as on whim as it may have appeared; hinting instead they were arranged for/by NASA.


Ingo for his part described the Jupiter session as follows:


In early April 1973, in an effort to emerge from the daily boredom of repetitive testing, I suggested that we once in a while do something far out, something that might reintroduce a sense of adventure, excitement, and enjoyment.


The planet Jupiter was literally far out. NASA had earlier launched Pioneer 10 and 11 to fly-by that planet, and information telemetered back by the two crafts would undergo technical analyses. Information from Pioneer 10 would commence in September 1973.


The only real difference between Jupiter as a "target," and mundane target objects in the next room, was its distance from Earth. But for me there was another difference. It would be exciting to try to extend one’s ESP to the planet, a form of remote viewing. Jupiter was more remote than the next room—and there might be a thrill of "traveling" in interplanetary space.

The Jupiter Probe: April 27, 1973

After analyzing the remote viewing data from Ingo's session on Jupiter, thirteen unexpected factors were discovered and confirmed by subsequent scientific research. These factors are listed below, along with the dates of their confirmation:

  1. The existence of a hydrogen mantle: Confirmed September 1973, again in 1975.
  2. Storms, wind: Confirmed 1976 as to dimensions and unexpected intensities.
  3. Something like a tornado: Confirmed 1976 as strong rotating cyclones.
  4. High infrared reading: Confirmed 1974.
  5. Temperature inversion: Confirmed 1975.
  6. Cloud color and configuration: Confirmed 1979.
  7. Dominant orange color: Confirmed 1979.
  8. Water/ice crystals in atmosphere: Confirmed 1975.
  9. Crystal bands reflect radio probes: Confirmed 1975.
  10. Magnetic and electromagnetic auroras (“rainbows”): Confirmed 1975.
  11. A planetary RING inside the atmosphere: Confirmed 1979, not only as to its existence, but as being inside the crystallized atmospheric layers.
  12. Liquid composition: Confirmed 1973, 1976, as hydrogen in liquid form.
  13. Mountains and solid core: Still questionable but suspected as of 1991.

Six of these thirteen factors were given scientific substantiation by 1975. Before Jupiter's ring was "scientifically" discovered in 1979, most scientists flatly denounced the possibility of the RING.

    Mars: Capturing Life Through Words

    A Psychic Trip to Mars

    In 1975, with some modicum of interplanetary remote viewing success under our belts, Harold Sherman and I planned a Mars probe in advance of the first Viking touchdown. There were certain difficulties with regard to Mars which differed considerable from those of Jupiter and Mercury. A great deal was known about Martian conditions, and lest Harold and I merely repeat what was already known, we decided to read up on the planet and become "grounded" in existing knowledge about it. ...


       It took about eight minutes to sight Mars psychically...I could hear myself talking, though, which was being recorded...When the experiment was over I was flabbergasted. But at that moment, the telephone rang. It was Harold Sherman calling from Arkansas.

    Now, Harold Sherman was an easy-going, gentle person, with interior strengths to be sure. But I had never heard him shout. And this he now did. "Did you see what I saw!" he shouted. I was still somewhat in awe of what I had seen that I responded vaguely: "Well, if you mean what no one will believe, then yes!"


    -- Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy

    Updated Special Edition

    There May be More to Mars Than Meets the Eye

    Both Ingo's and Sherman's Mars 1975 session and the group’s 1984 Mars session noted below are detailed in the Updated Special Edition of Penetration. Included in the book are the RV sketches and notes from these session. These same notes and sketches can also be found in the archives of Janet Lee Mitchell and Harold Sherman (links to their respective archives can be found on the Empiricist page of this website).  

    The Empiricist Page

    It very well may. It does appear Ingo did Remote View, for a flesh and bones Axelrod, the Moon’s dark side and did see structures; presumably the basis of the "Space Race" to begin with? So what was the actual date he did this? He tells us in Penetration: the Moon was full, setting in the West, and was placed opposite the Sun. This would mean the Earth was in between the two, otherwise known as a lunar eclipse. That date in 1975, when the Moon was full, and a lunar eclipse was occurring, was May 25th, a Sunday, when very few people, if anyone at all, would have been say at SRI? In this session, Ingo records: "You mean—am I to assume this stuff is—not OURS! Not made on Earth?"


    Wait about about these Moon RV sessions possibly being at SRI? Taking a pit stop for a moment, Ingo tells us in a roundabout way that this Axelrod is someone intimately familiar with the RV work at SRI. That is, Ingo indirectly reveals that Axelrod is well-versed in the RV process in two instances. First, he mentions starting the session with Axelrod pressing a button on a tape recorder. This seems like an odd choice for a technologically advanced and secretive group, especially since they have the ability to manipulate technology and travel through space. Later in the chapter, Ingo writes about Axelrod abruptly closing folders after the session ends. This detail also hints at SRI's involvement, as manila folders with coordinates were commonly used in their RV sessions. This suggests that there were two people present during the session - someone directing Ingo and another acting as his monitor. According to transcripts from other RV sessions, it was not uncommon to have two individuals present: one monitor and one representative from a sponsor or internal program.


    But let's return to the topic of the Moon/Mars connection. Ingo was ready to dive into a discussion about the possibility of extraterrestrial life seeding on Earth from other interstellar planets, which is why his chapter about the Hollow Moon is abbreviated. He would have also mentioned structures on Mars and how they may be related to structures on the Moon, along with a theory about a Martian evacuation to Earth (which explains the missing and incomplete Mars chapter but its mention of the Giza Plateau in Egypt). The missing Mars chapter serves as evidence that this more thorough RV session, conducted with Sherman, was done to ensure that there would be no misrepresentations or misunderstandings. This session was scheduled to happen just two weeks later than this Moon psychic probing, on June 14th, right before NASA launched their Mars-bound Vikings. It was likely done so that any last-minute adjustments could be made regarding what to look for on Mars instead of the Moon.


    Ingo claimed that a covert government agency was aware of the existence of artificial objects on the dark side of the Moon, although they lacked concrete evidence or a means to confirm it. These objects had allegedly been spotted by lunar orbiters and even some Apollo astronauts, according to certain sources.


    Ingo says in this session he saw colored lights which moved, roads, and artificial structures such as domes, buildings, and arches.


    Years later, one of Ingo's Army RV students, Paul Smith had a similar experience during his RV training at SRI. George Noory, host of paranormal-oriented talk show Coast to Coast AM, interviewed Smith on the show in relation to Noory's 2006 book Worker in the Light. It was during this interview Smith disclosed he had been given the same coordinates Ingo had on the Moon. Interestingly, not only had Smith drawn the same things as Ingo, but he had also shared his notes with then SRI director Dr. Hal Puthoff. 


    What information we have on Ingo and his work to remote viewing hidden chambers at Giza can be found in his archives at the University of West Georgia; the sessions and his notes have also been reprinted in Issue 19 of eight martinis magazine. A copy of Issue 19 of the magazine can be downloaded here: http://www.eightmartinis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eight_martinis_issue19_nov2022_downloadversion2.pdf.


    In 1973, Ingo and psi researcher Cleve Backster both spoke at an international conference in Prague about psychotronics. Afterwards, they traveled to Egypt's Giza Plateau, pretending to be tourists. Their goal was to search for any hidden structures beneath or around the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. They were joined by Peter Tompkins, a former OSS operative, as well as Charles Berlitz (grandson of the founder of the language school), who had connections that smoothed their path. Berlitz himself had served in Army intelligence for over ten years.


    When they arrived at the Giza Plateau, they were not alone in their search for buried treasures. The Cosmic Ray Project, led by Luis Alvarez, was also conducting research there. Mark Lehner, a well-known Egyptian archaeologist today, claims he was studying abroad at the American University in Cairo in 1973 when he first became interested in finding Cayce's Hall of Records. However, he has also mentioned being there as part of his involvement with the Cayce Foundation in other interviews.


    Alvarez, a Nobel Prize in Physics laureate, was a renowned experimental physicist, inventor, and professor. During World War II, he played a crucial role in the creation of microwave-centered radar and later worked on the Manhattan Project with Robert Oppenheimer at Los Alamos, contributing to the design of the "Fat Boy" plutonium bomb. His post-war research focused on particle accelerators and superconducting magnets. In 1965, he joined a US-Egyptian archaeological team on the Giza Plateau to use subatomic particles for density calculations in hopes of discovering hidden chambers under the pyramids. This project, known as the Berkeley Cosmic Ray Project, specifically centered around the Khafre Pyramid. Some speculate that Alvarez's involvement may have been linked to his alleged membership in a top-secret government group studying UFOs, Majic-12, as suggested by the authors of The Stargate Conspiracy.


    For five years, the project continued without yielding any definitive information about what lay beneath the pyramids. However, one member of Alverez's team, Dr. Amr Goneid, noticed that their data was constantly scrambled in a way that could only happen if there was some external force at work, governing the laws of science. This only added to the intrigue surrounding subatomic physicist Alverez's involvement in the project. Despite his best efforts, Alverez's technology had reached its limit and a new approach was necessary. According to Dolphin's article "Geophysics And The Temple Mount," this realization occurred in 1973. (https://www.ldolphin.org/tempgeophy.html) Dolphin writes, one "Prof. Luis Alvarez of the Physics Department at the University of California Berkeley (LBL) contacted me to tell me about cosmic ray experiments he was conducting in the Second Pyramid (that of Chephren, or Khafre) at Giza in Egypt....He told me he was now looking for a new method which could view beneath the pyramids and also explore more complex pyramids such as that of Cheops, the grandfather of Chephren. Prof. Alvarez suggested to me and to my colleagues at SRI International that we should attempt to build a 'ground-penetrating radar' to explore the pyramids, and to search for hidden tombs at Sakhara and the Valley of the Kings. With the help of in-house SRI R&D funds we soon had assembled a crude radar system and tested it in an old coal mine at Mt. Diablo, east of San Francisco. We then obtained a small grant from the National Science Foundation, teamed up with scientists from Cairo's Ain Shams University, and enthusiastically went to work at Giza in the spring of 1974." 


    In May of 1976, Ingo began a Remote Viewing venture at SRI that focused on the DMZ area between North and South Korea. This project was later referred to as the ARPA Tunnel Detection Technology Program, and was a joint effort under the direction of Dolphin. However, within SRI it was known as Project T. The project continued until June 1977, with reports of its success being circulated internally in May of 1977. At this point, Ingo became more heavily involved with SRI on a full-time basis. A selection of documents related to this project can be found in the CRV section of this website.


    In a Project T session dated April 13, 1977, John Tanzi, Dolphin’s fellow SRI researcher on the project, is recorded as interacting with Ingo. Towards the end of their remote viewing session, Tanzi mentioned a report they had from a trip to Egypt in 1974/75 (as opposed to their recent visit). He recalled their attempt to find chambers in Chephren's pyramid but admitted that the experiment did not go as planned. However, he mentioned something intriguing about the pyramid's construction and how it raised questions for them. They wanted Ingo to "look into" this matter further. Perhaps this discovery about the pyramid's construction was related to the interference Alverez's team experienced. Tanzi also promised to share the report with Ingo for further investigation.


    After years of searching the Plateau for hidden chambers, Dolphin found himself in 1978 at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (which was still actively seeking to unearth the locations of Atlantean records, particularly those under the Sphinx in Egypt). He went there to secure additional funds for his NSF grant to continue his expeditions in Egypt. In his own words, "In 1978, we received funding from ARE (Association for Research and Enlightenment) in Virginia Beach, VA. (They are affiliated with the Edgar Cayce Foundation). That year, Hugh Lynn Cayce joined us in Egypt as well. (We also had other sponsors and ongoing projects at the same time)."


    In Ingo's archives are RV session notes from January 31, 1978, and February 2, 1978, of the Sphinx and pyramids on the Giza Plateau. They appear to be linked to Dolphin’s A.R.E./SRI/NSF funded program and include, as noted in Ingo's handwriting on one of his 1978 sketches, his notes and RV sketches from his onsite RV session done in 1973. In the 1978 sessions, Ingo identified tunnels and rooms under the pyramids as well under the Sphinx. After Ingo discovered some anomalies during the two sessions, they were confirmed by Dolphin's radar while on the Plateau. Drilling was then initiated to investigate these spaces more closely, and a borescope camera was lowered into the holes to examine what might be hidden in these underground anomalies.

        

    But what is interesting about SRI's involvement in 1978 comes by way of a booklet entitled, The Edgar Cayce Foundation Egypt/Sphinx Project: A Special Report by Mark Lehner: 

    "Not all of the anomalies detected at the Sphinx were drilled. Toward the end of the season, serious problems began to develop between the SRI team and the other major patron who contracted for the survey of the pyramids and who was, at the same time, the party handling the drilling operations. On the last day of SRI activity at the Sphinx, some kind of pronounced anomaly was detected using a different, more powerful, acoustic technique (immersion down-hole sounder). This anomaly was located inside the hollow masonry box attached to the Sphinx body just behind the south elbow, by soundings into the exposed bedrock floor at the base of the box. It was left unexamined by drilling and borescopic observation when the SRI project closed." And with that SRI packed its bags and left. The fact they did so after so much time and money seems a little off. Had something been found and confirmed?


    In 1984, Ingo's next recorded collaboration with Dolphin took place as detailed in the Mars chapter. This occurred shortly after Dolphin established the "Independent Mars Project" at SRI. In order to remote view Mars, Ingo assembled a team of remote viewers for this project.


    The 1984 Remote viewing of Mars

    In 1979 two researchers, Vincent DiPietro and Greg Molenaar, discovered in two NASA photographs (from Viking 1976) of the Martian surface what appeared to be a large carving of a humanoid face lying on the ground and staring outward into space. DiPietro and Molenaar published these photos, and were surprised by the hostile reaction of the planetary science community. The images, this community said, “were simply nothing more than an illusion brought about by light and shadow.” 


    A few years later, Ingo, at the bequest of a SRI geophysicist Dolphin working on the "Independent Mars Mission," organized a team of five individuals skilled in remote viewing. Each member worked separately to remote view specific coordinates on Mars at 5:30pm on June 15, 1984. Three members have been identified so far: Ingo, Sherman, and Star Gate RV'er Thomas (Tom) McNear.


    Little did the group, including Ingo, know that this session would take place exactly one month after RV'er Joseph (Joe) McMoneagle's own Mars RV session at approximately 10:00am on May 22, 1984, and reveal similar findings. A PDF of McMoneagle's declassified session can be downloaded below.


    As was the case with their 1975 Mars session, both Ingo and Sherman in 1984, and now along with three additional RV'ers, saw structures, towers, and archaeological ruins on the surface of Mars, evidence, they believed, of two different civilizations destroyed on the Red Planet.  


    From this Ingo concluded:

    1. That humans are psychic;
    2. That even inexperienced psychic humans working in concert with others can provide relatively accurate information;
    3. That great distances were no barrier to this type of penetration from Earth;
    4. That psychics could assess and relatively describe "buildings" on Mars which many interpret as really existing based on existing photographs;
    5. That the group-psychics described the suspected structures in more detail than what is observable via the photographs;
    6. If the buildings are in fact there, they were not built by Earthlings, so far as we know but by some extraterrestrial civilization perhaps long gone from Mars; and,
    7. That if all the above are even approximately true, then by direct implication humans possess a psychic capability for penetrating UFOs and other than terrestrials beings themselves.


    Of his experiences during this 1984 session, McNear wrote in the Updated Special Edition of Penetration: "Then in 2014, a year after Ingo's passing, I was reading Joe McMoneagle's book Mind Trek. In it, Joe recounts his remote viewing of Mars on 22 May 1984—24 days before Ingo's five-person team. Joe speaks of the same entities, the same profound sense of loss, the same structures, the same inner chambers…to this day I am reluctant to discuss it, but if you want to know more, read Mind Trek."


    Note: 

    The various Mars RV sessions described pyramid like structures and major geological disturbances. They also mention tall, thin figures having experienced environmental collapse. John Greenewald, Jr. (X handle: @blackvaultcom) fed this information into the AI image generator DALL-E, which then produced the two images detailing landscapes with pyramids and figures featured in this section.

    The McMoneagle Mars Session PDF

    Truth is self-evident to all who can perceive it. Truth cannot be managed, only lies can be managed.

    Why the Pages on NHEs, UFOs/UAPS, and the Planets...

     

    I join a very long list of those who have seen and experienced things they cannot prove happened...   

    Ingo separates his book Penetration into three distinct parts. In the first portion, he shares his encounters in the secretive realm of UFOs and non-human entities, including his experiences on the dark side of the Moon. The second section delves into the Hollow Moon theory, proposing that the Moon is not a natural celestial body and may have been intentionally placed by unknown forces. Ingo uses the third part to explain how these non-human beings are actively suppressing our natural telepathic abilities, knowing it is our only true weapon against them. The Updated Special Edition of the book includes information and notes from Ingo's Remote Viewing sessions with Harold Sherman in the 1970s and a group session in the 1980s focusing on Mars. Both sessions reveal evidence of an ancient civilization that met a devastating end.


    Many have questioned the authenticity of the first part, and in some ways it was "fictional." In reality, the stories were tools created by Ingo to intertwine various real-life experiences and events in order to conceal a larger truth. The title of the book itself may offer some insight into this. In the beginning pages, Ingo provides a definition of "penetration," and its placement is likely a direct reflection of why he chose that word. However, his true sentiments can be seen in his own words from the book:


    "Anyone with more than a mere superficial interest in Psi phenomena must of course encounter the rather smelly morass of social resistance whereby the authenticity of those phenomena is methodically deconstructed, thus suspending them in doubt.There is some rather clear truth in this. Indeed, it is because of this truth that some echelons of humans are at war with the Psi potentials of the human species because those echelons have motivations they would prefer never to be disclosed via Psi penetration."


    In Ingo's 1992 FATE Magazine article, he mentions his correspondence with ancient astronaut theorist Raymond Drake which began in 1968 after reading Drake's book Gods and Spacemen in the Ancient East. This connection lasted for fifteen years and resulted in Drake thanking Ingo in his 1974 book Gods and Spacemen of the Ancient Past. In this book, Drake talks about the sudden appearances and disappearances of UFOs as manifestations from invisible worlds, caused by changes in frequencies. He goes on to suggest that there may be frequencies of matter beyond what we can sense with our physical senses, coexisting within each other. This idea is also reflected in Ingo's book title, highlighting the concept of penetration between different worlds or dimensions.


    He knew what was at stake if he fully disclosed anything, so he opted to withhold the truth. Instead, he created a series of clues like a treasure map and waited for the right time for those involved to come forward - whether it be due to their conscience overpowering their fear or through carefully planned leaks - for documents to be made public and interviews to occur. It was uncertain if this would happen during his lifetime, but his book would remain as a resource, patiently waiting to be deciphered.


    His message based on what he believed owing to his experiences, his encounters, his research, and ultimately his conclusions...


    In 1994, Ingo started working on Penetration as a part of Project Moondrop. The records for this project are now located in his archives at the University of West Georgia. The original plan was for the book to be a summary of something much larger - an explanation of his long-held belief that the past is a complex combination of various factors.


    He believed there were the inheritors of technology most likely thanks to contact with entities from another dimension, the "others," made by the Nazis, the technology serving as reparations to both the East and the West after World War II, some knowing the full story aligning themselves with these "others," enshrining themselves with power and wealth continuing to build what is often referred to as the New World Order, but at a great cost to humanity, and some not knowing the true inheritance of that technology and the cost of it, as things are highly compartmentalized in the clandestine world, bumped up right against it. 


    Overwhelmed by what this latter group found Ingo believed, that extra-dimensional intelligences located not out in space rather right here on Earth, with ill-intent, could take control of people, their thoughts, experiences, memories, and even their bodies, and employ all sorts of identities through telepathic means, the Air Force under the direction of the DIA and probably the CIA too resorted not to fighting it, at least not then and not overtly, as most likely that ability was far beyond anything anyone could do, but instead to establishing a public UFO disinformation campaign on one hand while some decided to secretly work on understanding and exploiting the technology, he found, and more importantly eliciting ESP at the Air Force's premier research laboratory on electronics, signals, systematic countermeasures, and communications on the other. 


    The goal then perhaps fractured even more he thought. One group set on unpuzzling the nature of telepathic communications so extrasensory means could be used both offensively and defensively to understand these other dimensional beings and their technology, while other groups he encountered sought to covertly profit from them by using that same said tech and using it for their own ends. 


    Amidst all the chaos, Ingo discovered that all parties were working towards the same goal: keeping the public in the dark. However, with a rise in UFO sightings, it became evident that simply using disinformation tactics would not suffice. And so, during the same time frame as other events, Ingo believed that the CIA, utilizing information from former Nazi scientists and mind control experts who had relocated to America through Operation Paperclip, launched their own mind control program known as Project Bluebird. This program aimed to manipulate the population by altering their thoughts and behaviors on a mass scale - but this quickly spiraled out of control under Project MKULTRA and morphed into something even more sinister. Meanwhile, the Air Force revived their own project, Blue Book, which seemed to serve as nothing more than a distraction.


    All the while behind the scenes, Ingo believed, the New World Order took over and advanced an ancient astronaut and extra-terrestrial narrative to hide the abject evil they are engaged in and how they and the "others" are using frequencies to electronically harass, attack, and influence us.


    Then there was Mars and the Moon. Thanks to his RV sessions of these two, he found there had been an advanced civilization on Mars, who over time had developed devastatingly destructive weapons which led to a nuclear holocaust planet wide. This forced a Martian evacuation to Earth he believed. But the Martians needed bio-programming to live here in a land of their own, which they did on the Moon, he theorized, an interstellar forward station, an artificial satellite which had been used as an incubator for and sustainer of life on Earth by someone else out there. 


    But the Martians evacuation put them, and what would be us, as he believed they intermixed with Earth's own developing race of humanity, on a collision course with the "others” who lived here albeit, in another dimension. When global catastrophes, ones recorded in ancient civilizations the world over, wiped out a great portion of the former Martian empire, what remained of the former Martians, now bio-programmed for Earth, began spreading across the globe, he contended. As they did, they left behind knowledge in "libraries" buried in chambers below large carved monuments, ones which resembled the ones they left behind on Mars, only smaller, since everything, including their own new bodies, were smaller too, in the places where they had found new homes, among the people they began sharing their genes and abilities with, the "others" began plotting. The "others'" mission, growing more perverse and eviler and encompassing more and more of humanity with each passing day: to rid the planet of or or perhaps instead to simply manipulate/control/feed on its pollutants (that is humans). He believed the only way to protect ourselves from this was the rekindling of our innate abilities which had been programmed into us thanks to our gene mixing with the former Martians.


    This happening while beings from other planets, solar systems even, with bases not unlike those on the Moon, which the the modern world, as Ingo most likely saw, tried to take command over and operate, continue to watch us from afar and or maybe even closer than we know. 


    Meaning it is quite possible, he theorized, these someones may have visited from time to time as recorded in antiquity's myths and legends to see how things were coming along, or maybe we are and have always just been a tourist destination, a sidetrack excursion from their mundane existence, and they are acting as "space police" like interstellar bouncers and we are the trendy night club. In such exploits could they have crash landed on our planet, and their craft recovered, that is possible too, like a Roswell group RV session he participated in, or even his "fictional" unpublished manuscript Maverick Star Buster*, point to.


    Despite the potential consequences for himself and his family, Ingo felt compelled to spread a message to humanity. A message that boiled down to this: only consciousness can save us. But it was not as simple as that. The Free Love movement of the 1960s represented a similar idea, but ultimately failed as those hippies grew up and joined the rat race with their own families. The world is still plagued by poverty, racism, greed, and corruption, and individuals still struggle to find their true identity and a sense of hope for the future. Ingo believed that a deeper consciousness was necessary, yet the focus remained on individual pursuits rather than collective understanding. His books, Purple Fables and Master of Harmlessness, reflected these ideas.


    We cannot see it, Ingo would say, because of our reality boxes, our limitations which we fit ourselves into happily, content with our thinking that our limited world view is the only reality. A poignant example of this in Ingo's book The Great Apparitions of Mary: the apparition in 1896 at Tilly-sur-Seulles, France. As Ingo described it in the book, it was "the only one to have taken place during an epoch of general calm and prosperity. No one could imagine the enormous horrors soon to come. The Age of Anarchy (1903-1909) followed almost immediately upon this apparition, and then World War I."

     

    Regarding the apparition directly, Ingo says, "A large number of witnesses began describing features accompanying the apparition that others could not see such as saints, angels, demons, devils, and other assorted edifying or horrible figures which revolved around the apparition proper in what today might be called 'special effects.'"


    As to physical reactions occurring, Ingo notes, "A thirteen-year-old girl, named Jeanne Bellanger, had trances in which her whole body was contorted; while she knelt in ecstasy her spine curved back until her neck touched the heels of her boots. The 'sight of this was so painful' that many who looked on it were 'positively ill.'" Theses visions and physical contorted conditions lasted in viewers until 1899.


    Why was it of such profound importance to Ingo, that comes via what happened in the years following the end of the apparitions: Barely fourteen years after the events at Tilly, the north of France, especially the broad area around Tilly-sur-Seulles, was plunged into World War I. The area around Tilly and the Normandy coastline became an apocalyptic wasteland of fighting, trenches, mud, deadly gas weapons, insanity, slime, disease, and death, with thousands of rotting bodies and mass graves. In fact, the spines of dead bodies if left unattended for a time, will retract causing the head and lower limbs to arch backward until they meet, exactly as happened to many of the convulsionnaires during the apparition. What Ingo imparted upon us regarding this was without a frame of reference, the world had no way to truly understand the message implicit in this apparition, the evil images, the contorted bodies of the viewers; only in hindsight was it ever able to be understood.


    Therefore as the various other players in the his life's saga turned in a myriad of directions, Ingo focused on the messages themselves, or conceivably how to relay these messages. Which in a broader sense perhaps was Ingo's fate all along. 


    After no one really seemed to get his drift and he was forced to watch the world fall deeper under a dark spell, all the while knowing his days in this life were coming to an end, he wondered if he had managed to change anyone's consciousness or made any difference whatsoever. His message which seemed to grow increasingly lost:


    If of life you keep a care, 

    Shake off slumber, and beware: 

    Awake, awake!


    It is these very thoughts he shared in an interview with Thomas Streicher printed in Streicher's book Extra-Planetary Experiences: Alien-Human Contact and the Expansion of Consciousness. He left what he would call this plane of existence in 2013, with the thought that what the world does with anything will be now up to the world.


    As to what is now up to the world, Ingo tells Bell during that interview: "Everything is in my book [meaning Penetration] if you put the pieces together you will come up with a story." A story he implies is being prevented from coming together by the powers. To which Bell adds: "sure have lots of good reading between the lines for us." We can almost hear Ingo smiling, and that we do. 


    Part of this puzzle piece decoding from Penetration and other sources can be found in the pages on this website, in the three sections of: Non Human Entities, UFOs/UAPs, and Planetary Explorations. 


    We invite you to discover his story, his adventures, his un-coverings, if you will, but ultimately his message, how we are so much more than we are told we are.

    *Maverick Star-Buster was the working title of what would have been, as Ingo described it, "a literary pop, a contemporary fairy-tale of good and evil, fantasy and adventure, the various intrigues, and situations of which can easily be seen today." Its subplots were to have included among others, "the situational involvement of the clergy, the military, and the press as well as the governmental structure." Unfinished, it was written by Ingo in the late 1960s. The story revolves around UFO visitors in a flying saucer, a large ship which has been stolen by space children who are on a kind of joyride and have come to Earth as it is off-limits for space peoples, a UFO contactee who sees them and then is taken by them to the Moon where he is “enhanced,” psychiatrists who use corrective actions (i.e. hydro baths and shock therapy) to subdue the contactee's "visions," the clergy, including the Pope, who take varying positions on the matter: they are either angels or the Anti-Christ and his horde of demons, US congressional members who support the Pentagon’s anti-saucer protocols, those which mandate the contactee's experience is to be assigned to the realm of imagination, the Powers of the planet who track such otherworldly vehicles and send people and planes to capture the "tech," otherworldly, or as they are called in the manuscript, interstellar, space police, one of whose own vehicles has crashed landed on Earth, experts in the form of college professors, fronts for the government, who rally the press both for and against the existence of such otherworldly vehicles, a Mother ship which has arrived to survey the situation and hides behind the Moon, containing representatives of a "suppressive society where no one is allowed to be any different from another, but when creativity is to be required, they kidnap intelligent and promising children from other planets and breed them for special use," and Doomsday prophets who see UFOs as a sign and lead people to their deaths.
