At the time of first contact, STAR GATE records prove that Swann was still officially unaware that the experiments and tests at SRI were being conducted under the auspices of the CIA. Taken at face value Swann`s account could be interpreted as the passing of information about CIA sponsored research to a organization of unknown origin for an extended period of at least a couple of years. At one point Swann was instructed to relay to Axelrod the status of the SRI psychic results.
In a classic example of the spy art, Swann was instructed to write the number 65 on a piece of paper to alert Axelrod when they had achieved a 65 percent hit rate using remote viewing. One might wonder if this was an indication of a security breach at SRI, or merely a means of checking Swann`s loyalty. Sometime in the late summer of 1976, Swann made several trips between SRI and Los Angeles to spend time with friends.
Little did he know, but he was about to encounter Axelrod`s operatives again. During an ordinary trip to a Hollywood supermarket he was attracted to a super-sexy woman. As he stood near the scantily clad beauty, he experienced an `electric-shock` that sent waves of goosebumps over his entire body, and stood his hair on end.
Swann interpreted this psychic alert as a warning that all was not right with this woman. In fact, he decided that she must be an extraterrestrial. Swann`s `shocking` experience is far from unusual.
It has been reported in many cases that lead to paranormal activity. Starstream Research was recently contacted about what appeared to be an animal mutilation that produced a similar `shocking` effect upon physical contact with the carcass. We know of other cases involving telephone calls from weird mechanical sounding voices, and from personal contact with another human being that has had paraphysical experiences.
Swann had little time to react, however, as his shock turned to panic. Looking down the aisle he saw both of Mr. Axelrod`s operatives, real-life men in black; dressed not like the character played by Will Smith, in suit and tie, but more like Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator, dressed in black jeans, boots and tank tops.
They were watching the strange, unearthly woman. Swann quickly left, knowing that Axelrod would soon be calling. The renewed phone contact by Axelrod was far from ordinary.
First Swann received a mysterious phone call from a female operative, directing him to a different phone. The call ended in dead silence, suggesting that the phone line had been cut and spliced into. Once he reached the designated phone, Swann engaged in a scrambled conversation with Axelrod, asking about the strange sexy woman in the supermarket.
Axelrod warned, I feel obliged to tell you that she is really dangerous. Apparently Swann believed that Axelrod`s warning had confirmed his worst fear. Not only were extraterrestrials on the moon, but they had operatives here on Earth, among the ordinary people.
If Axelrod was to be believed, they were to be avoided at all possible cost. Axelrod inquired about how the remote viewing work at SRI was going. Axelrod told Ingo, we have a special task.
He needed to know when Swann had reached 65 percent accuracy. Axelrod instructed Ingo to place an ordinary sheet of paper with the number 65 written on it under his ink blotter on his desk, in a secure office at SRI, once the goal had been achieved. In his book Swann mused about the possibilities: Who were this Axelrod and his henchmen / operatives anyway?
CIA, KGB, Mossad, M-5, some ultra-secret military goings-on? Then one morning when I lifted the blotter the hair on my arms once again stood up. The signal (the piece of paper with 65 written on it) was gone.
In its place was some dust-like powder in which a finger had scrawled two words. Swann continues: The result of the promised `contact` was that if I had any doubts about whether they existed, such doubts were shortly to be resolved. I almost got killed in the process.
The expected contact came in July, 1977, a few days after I discovered the message in the dust. Swann was surprised to see Mr. Axelrod standing in the dining hall at SRI.
After a brief meet-up with Axelrod in the men`s room, Swann was directed to Axelrod`s Jeep, waiting outside in the parking lot. Axelrod drove Swann to a Lear Jet waiting at the San Jose airport, and informed him that they might have an opportunity to see a UFO, rather close up. After several hours of flight the plane made a covert landing without any lights onto a dark runway.
This was followed by a two-hour drive into cold, dark mountains. Swann noticed that the van moved even after the van`s motor appeared to go silent. Once they reached their destination, Axelrod, Swann and Axelrod`s two operatives hiked their way to the intended location.
Do not move unless I tell you to. Swann, Axelrod and the two operatives watched, and waited. Above a small lake, a gray fog began to rise.
Swann was startled as the fog was suddenly awash in luminous colors. Purple, red and yellow lightning bolts silently shot out in all directions. Then, suddenly an object appeared, fading into view over the lake waters.
Swann described the object as triangular, almost diamond shaped. As I remember it, the thing did not `transport` itself. It GREW in place right where it appeared.
With the appearance of the object a wind passed overhead, causing pine cones and branches to fall to the ground. Swann writes that ruby-red laser beams began shooting out from the object, which still appeared to be growing in size, even though it remain stationary over the same location above the lake. Swann estimated the fully visible object at ninety feet wide.
Laser beams hit the trees, and in the commotion of blasting pine and low-frequency pulsations, Swann was dragged out of harm`s way by Axelrod`s operatives. A beam cracked the branches at the location they had only moments before abandoned in urgent haste. Looking back for a final glimpse, Swann noticed that the water of the lake was being sucked up into the weird object.
Swann writes I was virtually petrified with a kind of terror for which there are few words to describe. Upon returning to the airfield, Swann observed an USA-Alaska mail plane. He surmised that they had been in far northern Alaska.
Axelrod explained, Our mission will be disbanded shortly and the work picked up by others, because of strategic security reasons involved ...
Next week you will be summoned for a complete physical examination, ostensibly in line with overseeing the health status of the people on your We just want to be sure you experienced no physical damage. The physicians performing the examination will be ordinary doctors who have no knowledge of our existence. Swann mentions that he sustained a leg injury while viewing the UFO.
We have yet to find any mention of this in the STAR GATE files. According to Swann, The last I saw of Mr. Axelrod was at the San Jose airport, and so there ends the tale of my encounters with him and his ultra-subterranean covert mission.
GRILL FLAME and BEYOND A CIA released memo on SRI stationary, dated November 2, 1978, from Hal [Puthoff] states that, Just a quick note. For what it`s worth, Swann now has a T/S [top secret] clearance with DoD [Dept. of Defense].
Indeed, Swann was ushered into the inner sanctum of many top secret, limited access military programs, coming as a result of the success of the SRI psychic research. The turning point was the move from experimental work into operational programs, and Swann`s knowledge and ability was to become the reference point for many. By 1984 he was personally training military personnel to become working psychic spies.
The CIA`s role had been moved from cutting edge research sponsor to tasking customer, with the various Department of Defense military service elements taking the lead. A summary of activity requested by Senate Appropriations Committee via Congressionally Directed Action states: During the period between 1975 and 1979, the following DoD Service elements supported psi [psychic] research: At the time of first contact, STAR GATE records prove that Swann was still officially unaware that the experiments and tests at SRI were being conducted under the auspices of the CIA.
