Phenomena: the book

The book (shown above, with author Annie Jacobsen) got a mention in the current New Yorker for April 17, 2017 [Briefly Noted, Page 72].

Jacobsen provides a batch of declassified material, the New Yorker calls "richly researched," which outlines "the U.S. government's secret investigations of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis" during the Cold War.

Psychics were used, the New Yorker writes, to track Soviet submarines, to find the Ark of the Covenant, and even to "go back in time to discover who shot J.F.K."

The book sells on Amazon for $14.64 in hardcover, and should be read as a supplement to UFO writers' views (Nick Redfern, et al.) about the U.S. government's use of UFO psy-operations, as in the Vilas-Boas "abduction" that CIA operative Bosco Nedelcovic said was a military experiment.
