Documents / FOIA release
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.

14. The effect was discovered in the late 1940's by Dr. Albert Kelner of the Cold Spring
Harbor Biological Laboratory. See "Rejuvenating Light," Scientific American, May 1949.
Dr. Il'enato Dulbecco of the California Institute of Technology found specific frequencies
for which the "death" effect and the "life" effect of light was most pronounced; the wave-
length for the death effect is peaked at 2,537 angstroms and the wavelength for the life
effect is peaked at 3,659 angstroms. Cf "Death Rays and Life Rays Discovered," Science
Digest, February 1950. See also R. Dulbeco, Radiation Biology, A.E. Hollaender (Ed.),
McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York, NY, 1955. See also discussion of photoreactivation
in any good book on ultraviolet light; e.g., LeWis R. Koller, Ultraviolet Radiation, 2nd
Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1965, p. 245. In fact, scientists are
not too sure just what constitutes th~ "death" of bacteria, especially when "killed" by
ultraviolet light. See Koller, ibid., p. 242. E.g., the Soviets have reported the revival of
250-million year old microorganisms by geochemist N. Chudinov. The organisms had
lain locked in potassium crystals, haVing once flourished in the great Perm Sea, which
once covered much of European Russia from the Urals in the north to Kharkov in the Ukraine.
See Soviet Union , F~br..tary 1972. Evidently 1'life" and "death" are something quite
different from the way they arP ;.,dseni.l}" .-~garded in biology.

Meeting, New Orleans, June 1977, A.R. Madow, :t;d. Academic Press, New York, 1978.
For a brief review by A. S. Wightman of Princeton University, see "Quantum Theory,"
Science, Vol. 202, No. 4372, 8 December 1978, p. 1076. Wheeler has pointed out a
kind of experiment made on a system (such as the two-slit apparatus) in which no observation
occurs until after the system's essential interactions are completed. However, a choice
can still !Jc made as to how those interactions are to have resulted, even after they have
seemingly "occurred. a Wheeler's fundamental analysis strongly supports his quotation of
Niels Bohr, "No phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is an -:>bserved phenomenon. " The
view taken by the author of this present paper is that all detection/observation is totally
internal to the detector/observer. 'i'inls, until his ("its" in the case of an instrument)
det:~ction/observatton (literally, "change above the observable threshold") has ,ccurred,
the supposed or analytical "changes" occurring in the system are virtual, hence carried
in the "altogether" by a single photon, nested in its time portion. Ftu ~her, all "possible"
changes which might have occurred --the entire set of 9robabi'LtY states that propagated
forward from the previous observable change --are still pres&nt and riding in and on the .same photon. Thus any of them can still be selectec4. :by the next observable change (photon
interaction), depending upon the manner of interaction.
