Can humans create events or objects (like UFOs) via thought only?

I thought I had an original copy of this J.B. Rhine book but can’t locate it in my libraries. 

The copy pictured here goes for $100 in hardback and paperback versions are listed on Amazon for over $500.

Rhine, as all of you know or should, experimented with ESP and other elements of what he coined as Parapsychology:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Banks_Rhine

I was obsessed with his works when I was much younger and toyed with some of his experimental procedures.

And while many discount his procedures and “findings,” one knows intuitively that he was on to something.

And, of course, many find Jung’s postulations in his flying saucer book [Flying Saucers: A  Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky] on target or close to it; that is, UFOs are projections from the human psyche.

That’s not far from Rhine’s ideas that mental efforts and abilities can create actual material manifestations.

Does this allow a conjecture that UFOs could be the “solid” production/creation of one’s psyche, objects with all the conditions of actuality, producing figments of solidity that mimic or emulate real things?

(The above statement provides for productions of radar returns, infrared reflections, impressions on the ground, film or video, photographic imagery, remnants that mimic debris shards, and even biological effects on the persons creating the UFO, et cetera.)

We, who are in the modern world, forget or don’t know that the shamans of old and even the god of the Israelites, Yahweh, provided material manifestations that had a solid, real actuality which provided, apparently, substantive results. [See my Substack article for supporting references.]

And Quantum Theory offers that some realities are created by quantum mechanic effects, out of seeming nothingness: "the ontology of quantum objects, their attributes, and their interactions, without reliance on advanced mathematical concepts."

In our world, the idea is discounted or heavily skepticized by almost everyone, but should it be? Or should the possibility be studied seriously and scientifically, despite the hollow dismissal of J.B. Rhine’s work?

UFOs may be the manifestations of the human mind, made solid for moments in time.

Was there sentient life on Mars, once?

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.

Mars is 4.603 billion years old, and Nick Redfern, in his fact-filled book, The Martians [New Page Books, Newburyport, MA, 2020] makes the case that life (civilizations) once thrived on the red planet.
 
Chapter 19 [Page 175 ff.], Ancient Martian Civilization Was Wiped Out tells readers what happened to the Martian peoples.
 
I’m finding, on Facebook – and I apologize for that source, but there are select groups there that are splendid – many people who are slogging through NASA’s online input of photos gathered by the rovers roaming the Martian landscape.
 
These Martian aficionados have recovered many kinds of images that, aside from the hackneyed explanation of pareidolia (the scientific term for the perception of familiar objects in random images), the “searchers” have found some fascinating artifacts that reasonably indicate the remnants of previous societal existence.

One can make fun of the idea that Mars once had abundant sentient life, but “evidence” for such life is circumstantially present among the debris being gathered by intrepid searchers of that NASA imagery.

One caveat for me is why would life develop on two minor planets at the outskirts of our galaxy? It’s odd, and intellectually off-putting, but there it is.
