Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy (1998) is a controversial and provocative book by Ingo Swann, a renowned psychic and key figure in the U.S. government’s Stargate Project, a Cold War-era program investigating remote viewing for intelligence purposes. In this memoir-esque account, Swann claims to have participated in a top-secret initiative involving extraterrestrial contact and telepathic communication with non-human intelligences.
The book details Swann’s alleged experiences with a covert group studying a hidden extraterrestrial presence on the Moon, including his telepathic interactions with an alien entity he refers to as “the Others.” Swann blends personal anecdotes with speculative theories about human psychic potential, extraterrestrial surveillance, and government secrecy, challenging conventional boundaries between science fiction and paranormal research.
Critics dismiss the book as conspiracy theory, while supporters view it as a rare insider’s glimpse into classified psychic espionage and UFO phenomena. Swann’s background as a respected remote viewer (his work influenced CIA programs) lends the narrative a paradoxical credibility.
For similar reads, try The Stargate Chronicles (2002) by Joseph McMoneagle (another Stargate veteran) or The Day After Roswell (1997) by Philip Corso for more claims of extraterrestrial cover-ups.
