UFO Prophet George Van Tassel
In the high desert of California, nestled amongst the Joshua trees, lies a unique tourist attraction and event venue known as the Integratron. This peculiar structure, with its futuristic design and mysterious origins, has captured the imagination of many.
The Integratron was founded by George Van Tassel, a man with a captivating tale of UFO encounters and extraterrestrial experiences. Van Tassel, who passed away in 1978, had a vision for the Integratron. After his death, the Integratron passed through several owners before being acquired by sisters Joanne, Nancy, and Patty Karl in the early 2000s.
Van Tassel's books, such as "I Rode a Flying Saucer!", "The Council of Seven Lights", and "Into This World and Out Again", detail his encounters with extraterrestrials and his beliefs about their intentions. However, there is no public information indicating that Van Tassel was involved in projects or organizations related to the Fibonacci sequence or the Golden Ratio outside of ufology and aeronautics.
The Golden Ratio, an irrational number approximately equal to 1.6180339887, is a fascinating mathematical concept with a unique property. It is related to the Fibonacci sequence and has been found in various natural phenomena, such as the spiral patterns of galaxies, hurricanes, and seashells. It is also considered aesthetically pleasing and has been used in various forms of art, architecture, and design, including the Parthenon in Athens, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
Interestingly, the Integratron is known for its "sound baths," a form of sound therapy using crystal singing bowls. This therapeutic practice is a stark contrast to the UFO lore that surrounds the Integratron, creating a fascinating juxtaposition.
In a somewhat related note, the Southern Television broadcast interruption of November 26, 1977, was an unidentified voice interruption during a news broadcast in southern England. Many believe this incident could have been related to extraterrestrial communication or a hoax. The Ashtar Galactic Command, a name associated with UFO phenomenon, is often linked to claims of extraterrestrial contact and communication.
Ben Rich, a highly respected aeronautical engineer, served as the head of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works division from 1975 to 1991, contributing to the development of advanced military aircraft like the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter and the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. While his work was decidedly earthbound, his contributions to aeronautics have left an indelible mark on history.
The Integratron, with its rich history and enigmatic allure, continues to draw visitors seeking a unique experience, whether it's the therapeutic sound baths or the tantalizing hints of extraterrestrial encounters. Regardless of one's beliefs, the Integratron stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with the unknown.
