This Defense Documentation Center report (ADA068988) reproduces a paper Thomas E. Bearden prepared for the 1979 MUFON Annual Symposium. It carries a public-release distribution statement. Bearden is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and nuclear engineer. The paper proposes a speculative mind and matter model built on a claimed fourth law of logic and hyperspatial frames. It argues that the collective unconscious can materialize thought forms under Cold War stress, and it fits major UFO waves and U.S. cattle mutilations since 1973 into that model.

frequencies are referred to as "magic windows" between orthogonal ~mes. The visible
light spectrum offers a very large resistance to such kindling, and so the visible spectrum
is a strongly "quenching" spectrum for the effect. For this reason, kindled daylight
UFO' s are much rarer than are kindled nocturnal lights.
If kindling continues even further, parti.al or full materialization occurs. Thus in a
few cases, materialization of metal spacecraft, complete with materialized living, breathing
crewmen can occur. In addition, such things as Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster, and
other tulpoids (materialized thought forms) are occasionally materialized, including
im:?s, devils, angels, Virgin Mary, etc. Fortunately, the tuning (precise time synchrontzatior
of a great deal of mindstuff) that results in such materializations is normally quite unstable,
and so the materializations go away as the tuning fades, and the collection (kindling)
subsides. In the model, any thought form in the human mind can be so kindled. The same
sort of kindling creates life and consciousness also, as we will see in our next section.
Figure 6 shows the Dennis Billings Photo, a classic shot of a demateria-.lizing "space-
craft" UFO tulpoid and. an interpretation of the photograph in the diagram below.l3
Mind, Life, and Consciousness
In figure 7, we show the relationship of mind, life, consciousness, and death as
prescribed by the model.
Brtefly, each physical mass in the laboratory frame is simply the result of a localized
c!'osstalk from all mindworlds; at any one instant, which mindworld has furnished sufficient
cohered crosstalk to breach from virtual (subquantum) to observable (quantum) state is a
random vartable. Therefore a normal physical object, while totally alive, is nonpreferenti:::illy
alive. Further, the cohering crosstalk from all virtual mindworlds accounts for the fact
that each ('!uantum change is totally statistical. Mass D illustrates such an inert mass.
Uowe,.rer, if a tuning coherence is established so that a slight preference is given
to one of tt~CI mindworlds, then a "loop" between the tuning body (e.g. , bodies A and B)
and the preferred mindworld is established as shown. This loop is two-way; quantum
changes inS project only tiny portions into sn, e.g., and so many changes occur in body
A on a random, statistical basis before their Virtual crosstalk into sn superposes sufficiently
t-:> breach the quantum threshold in sn and result in a quantum change in sn. Similarly,
a great many quantum changes must occur in mindworld sn before their virtual projections
(crosstalk) into body A in frame S coheres (superposes) s,lfficiently to breach the threshold
of quantum change in S (body A).
The complete loop --A to sn and sn to A -- defines what is called "consciousness"
of A. A is the physical body, and sn is the mindworld. The three together --A, sn, and
the closed loop between A and sn -- define a ..!lving biosystem. Figure 8 shows such a
biosystem in greater detail.
"Death 11 is considered to be the loss of the closed loop between a biosystem' s physical
h'"ldy "tuner" and its mind world. ~n figure 7, sk represents a mind world severed from
body C, and C and sk without a preferred cJosed loop represents the death of biosystem c.
If, e.g., body-tuner C can be stimulated or shocked back into coherence With mindworld
sk, then biosystem C can be restored to living functioning. An example is the stimulation
of dead cells, that have been killed by 1.11traviolet light and allowed to stay dormant for
even 24 hours, with visible light. In such case, the cells are "shocked" back into tuning
resonance in many cases I and the dead cells will revive by the hundreds of thousands. 14
In figure 9 1 we clarify the time delay that results from the r.wo-way kindling between
a tuning body and its mindworld. Many changes occur in the causal physical world frame
(in the body) before crosstalk kindles a change into the mental frame, and many such
