“All humans have clairvoyant sensing facilities, and this is the reason they keep emerging in spite of any societal resistance to them.”
INGO SWANN (September 14, 1933 - January 31, 2013) was internationally known as an advocate and researcher of the exceptional powers of the human mind, and as a leading figure in governmental and scientific projects to investigate and identify the scope of subtle human perceptions.
Since 1970, his name and work have been incorporated into most contemporary books about PSI and the "paranormal." He was featured in four volumes of Time-Life's bestselling series entitled Mysteries of the Unknown.
Ingo's early work in parapsychology, as a noted and highly successful "guinea pig," made him a psychic superstar in that field. His subsequent research on behalf of American intelligence interests, including that of the CIA, won him top PSI-spy status.
His involvement in government research projects required the discovery of innovative approaches toward the actual realizing of subtle human energies. As a subset of this, in the 1970s and into the 1980s, Ingo worked to define a technique known as remote viewing -- an action described by Ingo as acquiring impressions about a target that is shielded by both distance and time using our innate faculties. For this purpose, he developed a set of protocols saying: "This was the seventeen-year period during which the elements of Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) were gradually separated out from a somewhat ambiguous morass of parapsychological phenomena, then refined until it was an entity of and within itself, complete with a novel nomenclature appropriate to it...and when understood, even in its natural state in individuals, it was no longer ambiguous, but seen as a precise set of existing faculties against which the ambiguous term "psychic" was no longer useful." More on this can be found in the CRV section of this website.
Even still, Ingo viewed PSI powers as only parts of the larger spectrum of human sensing systems.
His contributive work has achieved broad media notice and been featured in every major American/British television documentary on the subject of PSI phenomena and Remote Viewing and has been interviewed and/or profiled in dozens of magazines, including Time, Reader's Digest, Smithsonian and Newsweek.
Ingo was the author of over a dozen books. His publisher, Swann-Ryder Productions, has reissued most of his titles as eBooks, audio books, and paperback books. To learn more, check out the Creator page.
Ingo Swann was also a visionary artist and his exquisite works can be found at The American Visionary Art Museum, The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, and ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries.
A link to a PDF of his extensive database of writings on what he considered the Superpowers of the Human Biomind is available on this website in the Superpowers section of the Empiricist page, while his collection of research, books and correspondences is housed within Special Collections, Ingram Library at the University of West Georgia.
I join a very long list of those who have seen and experienced things they cannot prove happened...
Ingo breaks his book Penetration down into three different sections. In the first section, Ingo shares his various escapades within the ultra secret world of UFOs and non human entities, including what he saw on dark side of the Moon. Ingo delves into the Hollow Moon theory in the second section, describing how the Moon is not a natural celestial body at all, and may have been placed purposely where it was by someone or someones unknown. Ingo uses the third section of the book to explain how non human entities are purposefully keeping us from developing our natural telepathic abilities as they know such abilities are the only true weapon we have against them. In the Updated Special Edition of the book, information on and session notes from Ingo's and Harold Sherman's Remote Viewing sessions of the planet Mars in the 1970s and Ingo's group session in the 1980s of the red planet are included. Both sessions detail the remnants of an ancient civilization, one which succumbed to a violent and catastrophic end.
It has often been speculated that the first part is fiction, and in some respects it was, but only insomuch as the stories were Ingo's devices, a means by which he could use to co-mingled multiple actual experiences and events, all done to hide a broader truth. Perhaps the book's very name gives us a clue. In the opening of the book, Ingo defines the word "penetration" itself; placing it where he did is the most direct correlation as to why he used the word. His overall feeling however was probably best reflected in his words taken from the book directly:
"Anyone with more than a mere superficial interest in Psi phenomena must of course encounter the rather smelly morass of social resistance whereby the authenticity of those phenomena is methodically deconstructed, thus suspending them in doubt.There is some rather clear truth in this. Indeed, it is because of this truth that some echelons of humans are at war with the Psi potentials of the human species because those echelons have motivations they would prefer never to be disclosed via Psi penetration."
In terms of this Psi penetration concept as an overarching theme, a clue can be found in Ingo's 1992 FATE Magazine article: Ingo informs us that in 1968 after reading ancient astronaut theorist Raymond Drake’s recently published book Gods and Spacemen in the Ancient East, he started to correspond with Drake, a correspondence connection that would go on for the next fifteen years and include Drake thanking Ingo in his 1974 book Gods and Spacemen of the Ancient Past. Drake uses his 1968 book to discuss the sudden appearance and disappearance of UFOs as manifestations from invisible worlds happening because they are able to change their frequencies. Elaborating on this, Drake notes: "Physicists now admit that what we term the physical universe is just that spectrum of vibrations apprehended by our physical senses; it is logical to assume that there may be frequencies of matter beyond our tangibility, just as real as those dark stars we cannot see. Matter may exist in octaves co-spatial inside each other; within our own Earth may inter-penetrate [noting Ingo's book title word here] other worlds..."
He knew what was at stake if he fully disclosed anything. Instead he hid the truth, put a sort of treasure map of clues together, and waited for the tide to recede that is for players involved to come forth, their conscience outweighing their fear, or perhaps through their own strategic leakages, for documents to make their way into the public domain, and interviews to happen. Maybe that would happen in his lifetime, maybe it would not, but his book would be there, ready, waiting to be decoded.
His message based on what he believed owing to his experiences, his encounters, his research, and ultimately his conclusions...
As to Penetration, Ingo began work on this in 1994, as part of Project Moondrop, (the files of which can be found in his archives at the University of West Georgia) and the book, it was going to summarize something much bigger, discussing the multi-layered inescapable conclusion he had long since realized: the past was a complicated confluence of things.
He believed there were the inheritors of technology most likely thanks to contact with entities from another dimension, the "others," made by the Nazis, the technology serving as reparations to both the East and the West after World War II, some knowing the full story aligning themselves with these "others," enshrining themselves with power and wealth continuing to build what is often referred to as the New World Order, but at a great cost to humanity, and some not knowing the true inheritance of that technology and the cost of it, as things are highly compartmentalized in the clandestine world, bumped up right against it.
Overwhelmed by what this latter group found Ingo believed, that extra-dimensional intelligences located not out in space rather right here on Earth, with ill-intent, could take control of people, their thoughts, experiences, memories, and even their bodies, and employ all sorts of identities through telepathic means, the Air Force under the direction of the DIA and probably the CIA too resorted not to fighting it, at least not then and not overtly, as most likely that ability was far beyond anything anyone could do, but instead to establishing a public UFO disinformation campaign on one hand while some decided to secretly work on understanding and exploiting the technology, he found, and more importantly eliciting ESP at the Air Force's premier research laboratory on electronics, signals, systematic countermeasures, and communications on the other.
The goal then perhaps fractured even more he thought. One group set on unpuzzling the nature of telepathic communications so extrasensory means could be used both offensively and defensively to understand these other dimensional beings and their technology, while other groups he encountered sought to covertly profit from them by using that same said tech and using it for their own ends.
All sides, Ingo found, though were united in finding ways to keep the populace in the dark. With the continuing wave of UFO sightings, it was probably obvious that a disinformation campaign was not going to work. And so, all coalescing in the same time frame Ingo believed, the CIA, with its knowledge of the other pieces from the Nazi scientists, mind control specialists in Germany but were now in the US and working with the US as part of Operation Paperclip, launched a mind control program of its own, Project Bluebird, to somehow attempt to mass effect the population, which would grow out of control and into its own ugly monster under MKULTRA and then fragmented into something even more sinister, into population thought control, individual and group personality and behavior modification, able to pit one group against another, encourage antagonistic behavior, and relish in it when they were successfully at doing so, or even use it to change what we think about ourselves, while the Air Force reignited what in the end seemed like little more than a misdirection campaign under Project Blue Book.
All the while behind the scenes, Ingo believed, the New World Order took over and advanced an ancient astronaut and extra-terrestrial narrative to hide the abject evil they are engaged in and how they and the "others" are using frequencies to electronically harass, attack, and influence us.
Then there was Mars and the Moon. Thanks to his RV sessions of these two, he found there had been an advanced civilization on Mars, who over time had developed devastatingly destructive weapons which led to a nuclear holocaust planet wide. This forced a Martian evacuation to Earth he believed. But the Martians needed bio-programming to live here in a land of their own, which they did on the Moon, he theorized, an interstellar forward station, an artificial satellite which had been used as an incubator for and sustainer of life on Earth by someone else out there.
But the Martians evacuation put them, and what would be us, as he believed they intermixed with Earth's own developing race of humanity, on a collision course with the "others” who lived here albeit, in another dimension. When global catastrophes, ones recorded in ancient civilizations the world over, wiped out a great portion of the former Martian empire, what remained of the former Martians, now bio-programmed for Earth, began spreading across the globe, he contended. As they did, they left behind knowledge in "libraries" buried in chambers below large carved monuments, ones which resembled the ones they left behind on Mars, only smaller, since everything, including their own new bodies, were smaller too, in the places where they had found new homes, among the people they began sharing their genes and abilities with, the "others" began plotting. The "others'" mission, growing more perverse and eviler and encompassing more and more of humanity with each passing day: to rid the planet of or or perhaps instead to simply manipulate/control/feed on its pollutants (that is humans). He believed the only way to protect ourselves from this was the rekindling of our innate abilities which had been programmed into us thanks to our gene mixing with the former Martians.
This happening while beings from other planets, solar systems even, with bases not unlike those on the Moon, which the the modern world, as Ingo most likely saw, tried to take command over and operate, continue to watch us from afar and or maybe even closer than we know.
Meaning it is quite possible, he theorized, these someones may have visited from time to time as recorded in antiquity's myths and legends to see how things were coming along, or maybe we are and have always just been a tourist destination, a sidetrack excursion from their mundane existence, and they are acting as "space police" like interstellar bouncers and we are the trendy night club. In such exploits could they have crash landed on our planet, and their craft recovered, that is possible too, like a Roswell group RV session he participated in, or even his "fictional" unpublished manuscript Maverick Star Buster*, point to.
Ingo spread clues in the best way he could, he was fully aware of what could be done to him but more so to his extended family, but it felt the message to humanity needed to be spread, a message grounded in: no one can save humanity but consciousness. But that is an oversimplification really. The whole Free Love movement of the 1960s was an expression of that and look where that ended up he found, with lots of baby boomers doing drugs, having sex, and finding themselves. With almost all of those former hippies ending up in Suburbia with families of their own, still engaged and focused on the rat race and themselves and how they can get ahead. Nothing changed; there still is abject poverty in the world, racism, greed, corruption, an ongoing loss of personal identity, a hopelessness about the future. A deeper sense of consciousness, he might have called it spirituality even, was never attained because the search was only geared to one side of the equation: the "me" and "I" side, it was never really about the "us" side, that is the "all of us side," the deeper meanings about our abilities and existence. This can be found in his "dictated to" books, Purple Fables and Master of Harmlessness.
We cannot see it, Ingo would say, because of our reality boxes, our limitations which we fit ourselves into happily, content with our thinking that our limited world view is the only reality. A poignant example of this in Ingo's book The Great Apparitions of Mary: the apparition in 1896 at Tilly-sur-Seulles, France. As Ingo described it in the book, it was "the only one to have taken place during an epoch of general calm and prosperity. No one could imagine the enormous horrors soon to come. The Age of Anarchy (1903-1909) followed almost immediately upon this apparition, and then World War I."
Regarding the apparition directly, Ingo says, "A large number of witnesses began describing features accompanying the apparition that others could not see such as saints, angels, demons, devils, and other assorted edifying or horrible figures which revolved around the apparition proper in what today might be called 'special effects.'"
As to physical reactions occurring, Ingo notes, "A thirteen-year-old girl, named Jeanne Bellanger, had trances in which her whole body was contorted; while she knelt in ecstasy her spine curved back until her neck touched the heels of her boots. The 'sight of this was so painful' that many who looked on it were 'positively ill.'" Theses visions and physical contorted conditions lasted in viewers until 1899.
Why was it of such profound importance to Ingo, that comes via what happened in the years following the end of the apparitions: Barely fourteen years after the events at Tilly, the north of France, especially the broad area around Tilly-sur-Seulles, was plunged into World War I. The area around Tilly and the Normandy coastline became an apocalyptic wasteland of fighting, trenches, mud, deadly gas weapons, insanity, slime, disease, and death, with thousands of rotting bodies and mass graves. In fact, the spines of dead bodies if left unattended for a time, will retract causing the head and lower limbs to arch backward until they meet, exactly as happened to many of the convulsionnaires during the apparition. What Ingo imparted upon us regarding this was without a frame of reference, the world had no way to truly understand the message implicit in this apparition, the evil images, the contorted bodies of the viewers; only in hindsight was it ever able to be understood.
Therefore as the various other players in the his life's saga turned in a myriad of directions, Ingo focused on the messages themselves, or conceivably how to relay these messages. Which in a broader sense perhaps was Ingo's fate all along.
After no one really seemed to get his drift and he was forced to watch the world fall deeper under a dark spell, all the while knowing his days in this life were coming to an end, he wondered if he had managed to change anyone's consciousness or made any difference whatsoever. His message which seemed to grow increasingly lost:
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake, awake!
It is these very thoughts he shared in an interview with Thomas Streicher printed in Streicher's book Extra-Planetary Experiences: Alien-Human Contact and the Expansion of Consciousness. He left what he would call this plane of existence in 2013, with the thought that what the world does with anything will be now up to the world.
As to what is now up to the world, Ingo tells Bell during that interview: "Everything is in my book [meaning Penetration] if you put the pieces together you will come up with a story." A story he implies is being prevented from coming together by the powers. To which Bell adds: "sure have lots of good reading between the lines for us." We can almost hear Ingo smiling, and that we do.
Part of this puzzle piece decoding from Penetration and other sources can be found in the pages on this website, in the three sections of: Non Human Entities, UFOs/UAPs, and Planetary Explorations.
We invite you to discover his story, his adventures, his un-coverings, if you will, but ultimately his message, how we are so much more than we are told we are.

*Maverick Star-Buster was the working title of what would have been, as Ingo described it, "a literary pop, a contemporary fairy-tale of good and evil, fantasy and adventure, the various intrigues, and situations of which can easily be seen today." Its subplots were to have included among others, "the situational involvement of the clergy, the military, and the press as well as the governmental structure." Unfinished, it was written by Ingo in the late 1960s. The story revolves around UFO visitors in a flying saucer, a large ship which has been stolen by space children who are on a kind of joyride and have come to Earth as it is off-limits for space peoples, a UFO contactee who sees them and then is taken by them to the Moon where he is “enhanced,” psychiatrists who use corrective actions (i.e. hydro baths and shock therapy) to subdue the contactee's "visions," the clergy, including the Pope, who take varying positions on the matter: they are either angels or the Anti-Christ and his horde of demons, US congressional members who support the Pentagon’s anti-saucer protocols, those which mandate the contactee's experience is to be assigned to the realm of imagination, the Powers of the planet who track such otherworldly vehicles and send people and planes to capture the "tech," otherworldly, or as they are called in the manuscript, interstellar, space police, one of whose own vehicles has crashed landed on Earth, experts in the form of college professors, fronts for the government, who rally the press both for and against the existence of such otherworldly vehicles, a Mother ship which has arrived to survey the situation and hides behind the Moon, containing representatives of a "suppressive society where no one is allowed to be any different from another, but when creativity is to be required, they kidnap intelligent and promising children from other planets and breed them for special use," and Doomsday prophets who see UFOs as a sign and lead people to their deaths.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about Ingo. We hope you enjoy our site!
Ingo wrote, "Anacalypsis is a Greek word means an uncovering, a revelation or an unveiling. In its most ancient and proper dramatic sense it meant a tearing away of the veil." Below is Ingo's Anacalypsis, an unfinished and unedited version of what he called his Psychic Autobiography...still in the format he was working on when he passed away in 2013.
