INTRO: On November 6, 2018 the pilots of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter were on a training flight in Arizona when they spotted three unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, making wild maneuvers in the sky not too far away and not particularly high in the sky.
At least that’s the narrative that accompanies the latest bit of what used to be called UFO footage published to YouTube Friday morning by the science, technology and defense website The Debrief, in conjunction with the opening of a UFO Disclosure Symposium taking place this weekend in Vernal, Utah.
The below short clip is taken from the vantage point of an airstrip on the desert floor looking upward where three objects can be seen moving across the sky at what looks like a fast clip... (MORE - details)

The secret psychic experimentation that inspired Stranger Things
https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/psychic-telekinesis-stranger-things/
INTRO (excerpt): . . . Creators the Duffer Brothers originally based Stranger Things around a real-life human experimental programmes such as Project MKUltra and Project Star Gate. Conducted by the CIA in the 1950s, MKUltra’s purpose was to explore the potential of mind-control techniques that could give America an edge in the Cold War. Star Gate, in 1978, centred around the potential development of psychic abilities.
The programmes involved experimenting with LSD – which, in the case of MKUltra, was used on American citizens without their knowledge – alongside researching outlandish concepts such as telepathy, remote viewing (where someone could spy on another location, using their mind) and, of course, psychokinesis.
Most of Project MKUltra’s records were destroyed after it was shut down in 1977, while declassified information about Project Star Gate is vague and the research itself deemed to have dubious value. Physicist Patrick Johnson, an associate teaching professor at Georgetown University, is doubtful that either programme managed to develop a way to move objects with your mind.
“I know of no real physical way to make psychokinesis happen in the ways we see it in Stranger Things,” he says. “When we move an object with our hands, the fundamental physics of it all is that the electrons surrounding the atoms in our hands exert a force on the electrons surrounding the atoms in whatever object we are moving around. In order to move our hands to move the object, our brain sends an electrical signal through our muscles which tell our muscles to move.
“In principle,” he continues, “we could embed a device which reads the electrical signals that our brain sends to our hand. That device could then interpret and boost the signal to create a targeted electromagnetic field, which could ionise and manipulate the object in the same way as our brains directing our hands. "There are so many challenges to make this happen, plus it requires mechanical enhancements, but this is the best mechanism I could come up with to approximate psychokinesis as we have seen.”
The idea of humans developing psychokinetic powers – or rather, people claiming that they have developed or witnessed psychokinetic powers – is an area of interest to Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. He explains that alleged psychokinetic powers tend to come in three forms: micro, macro and biological... (MORE - missing details)

RE: UAP footage captured by helicopter + Psychic experiments inspired "Stranger Things" - Magical Realist - May 29, 2022
Those objects display the high speed herky jerky motion UAPs are typically observed to perform. Like a ping pong ball as pilot Commander Fravor described it. Good catch!
“Are those three really fast flying jets up there?” one pilot says over the radio.
“Probably some A-10s or some F-16s,” another responds.
As they move, the three points of light appear to dance around each other in ways that would seem to defy known physics for a mechanical aircraft.
“The circle-dance maneuver is just not possible,” Former U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter pilot Chris Lehto told The DeBrief. “They do a full 360-degree turn in less than 3 seconds!”
“It’s just kind of willy nilly flying around,” said Lehto. “It just kind of gives me more of an organic rather than mechanical feeling.”
