This whole interview with Dr. Garry Nolan is absolutely mind blowing.
If these comments from an award-winning Stanford geneticist don’t make skeptics reconsider the “woo” aspect of the phenomenon, I don’t know what will.
>Nolan: From my point of view, when I got involved, the CIA came to my office. I mean at first I thought it was joke. I really did. I was looking across the way here at some of the other offices to see if there was a camera. So they said. “We asked around, and everybody said that you’ve built the best tool, called CyTOF.”
>I was introduced to others who were, I think you people call them the Invisible College. It was people like Jacques, people like Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, and Robert Bigelow and Colm Kelleher. Then they showed me MRIs of some of these people and most of those people had interactions with UFOs. These were Department of Defense and intelligence people, so supposedly and reasonably credible individuals.
>So in looking at the MRIs of some of these people, we noticed an area of the brain that seemed to be disturbed, let’s say, or different in many of these individuals. So it’s an area that I’ve talked about before between the head of the caudate and putamen that had increased neural density. It was larger in all these individuals.
>So you just ask the question, “Okay, what’s unique about these individuals?” Well, they’re all highly functioning and have to make snap decisions, and so what is that? That’s intuition. One way to explain it would be intuition, or just highly intelligent.
>Then, surprisingly, when we looked into the family members, we found that the family members had it, which was fascinating. So that means that structure had a genetic component, whatever it was.
>Michels: Here’s a question. Do you have a genetic and phenotypic predisposition to seeing the UFOs or, post-contact, do you now have a more neuronally dense caudate nucleus and putamen?
>Nolan: No, I don’t think it’s changed. They’re just able to, as you say, see it. They’re able to recognize it for what it might be and not dismiss it.
>Michels: Maybe it’s allowing us to kind of widen the doors of our normal limited scope of perception. You’re seeing these UFOs that exist kind of interstitially in reality that other people just can’t see.
>Nolan: Our senses are a filter to stop our brains from being overwhelmed with reality. So what we see is a
... keep reading on reddit ➡In the interview with Dr. Garry Nolan he talks of how people who are genetically predisposed to have an abnormal basal ganglia (and thus are highly functioning @6.37) seem to be more perceptive towards UFOs and comprehending them.
He then goes on to mention @8.49 how they're working with schizophrenics and people with autism as they also have abnormalities in this area of the brain.
I'm very interested in this connection between basal ganglia anomalies, perception of UFOs, and autism; does anyone know if there is any more information please on Dr. Garry Nolan's work with people with Autism and UFOs?
I myself am aspergers (i.e. higher functioning autism) and whilst it comes with its issues and makes me completely socially inept, it has a few advantages in that I'm wired differently and considered an 'out of box thinker'; I see patterns in things where others see only noise and in some cases seem to be able to look at a situation and instantly know the answer / understanding of it at a single glance, I then have to spend the next hour trying to explain it to my peers for them to be able to perceive it - and even then they usually don't quite comprehend what I'm getting at and how it all fits together.
Some might call it 'intuition' but to explain it better it's more like thinking without words and seeing something and just having an instant picture that contains an enormous amount of data in my mind and knowing how all the dots join together, which if vocalised would take an hour to explain... this often leads me to saying "it's hard to explain but trust me on this."
How this relates to UFOs is that I myself personally have observed UFOs and similar to how Dr. Garry Nolan mentions so has many members of my family on my Dad's side... in fact, on my Dad's side we seem to have experienced more paranormal encounters than the average person as most of us have our fair share of 'spooky stories'.
Does anyone know if there is any more information please on Dr. Garry Nolan's work with people with Autism and UFOs?
Thank you.
edit: p.s watching the interview I suspect that Dr. Garry Nolan himself may indeed be on the spectrum. We tend to also have a knack at spotting the subtle nuances of a fellow aspie.

It's about a book recommendation that was made to him by Garry Nolan of Stanford's Nolan Lab who does combined work with Kit Green, working with people who have been affected biologically from "close encounters with anomolous craft" and Jacque Vallee on spectroscopy tests on purported debris of UAP. The book recommendation was Through the Curtain and it's about extrasensory perception, including remote viewing and remote information downloading, which has a strong foothold in the lore of the ufo phenomena, and it's link to a part of the brain called the Basal Ganglia made up of the Caudate Nucleus and the Putamen. I felt that if Garry Nolan, with his connections to Kit Green/Vallee who has further connections with Hal Puthoff/Eric Davis (basically the core of the Invisible College) is recommending a book about the topic it's probably worth the read so I wanted to post it here.
Here's a link to a pdf of the book:

Additionally, here's a pdf of a paper that Kit Green and Garry Nolan worked on studying people who have been affected by close encounters of ufos. It's not super in depth but it holds water as proof of the governments interest of physical effects of close encounters:

The blog post/video goes into more depth about Garry Nolan/the Caudate Nucleus/Extrasensory perception, and if anyone has any interesting leads related please do post. With the American Alchemy interview with Garry Nolan blowing up on here the past few days, I figured this would be an interesting read/rabbit hole for folks.
Edit: A commenter posted saying the link to Nolan/Green's medical paper pdf on close encounters wasn't working. If that link doesn't work for an automatic download, here's a link that will open it in a browser tab:

Dr. Eric Davis has had some choice words recently for certain members in the community that have criticized him and raised questions about his work. His friend and colleague, Stanford geneticist Dr. Garry Nolan, says it's because certain information is finally coming to light.
>Eric was more civil back in the day. He's giving his last <#> now that the info is finally coming out. Eric, like me, never wanted data private unless national security issues. He had access cuz he is brilliant & knows the rules of his access. We all benefit.
Squabbles aside, the important thing here is that Eric Davis sounds like a person that knows he's about to be vindicated. He knows the world is about to find out about crash retrievals of "off-world vehicles not made on this earth."
If we're lucky, perhaps even the Wilson/Davis notes will be verified at some point.
In the words of Nolan, we all benefit.
In this tweet reply, Stanford geneticist Garry Nolan suggests human civilization has been influenced in the past by the phenomenon, simply by showing themselves in certain ways (i.e. UFOs).
>Think about it. Showing up at any point is an intervention. Even those not fully informed can see where this leads.
>You don't have to do much to influence a civilization's direction. All you have to do is let yourself be seen. You don't need to genetically intervene to steer the course of history. An idle push here, given insight into a plant's utility there (through shamans), and voila...
>Helping one group versus another is selection and breeding. It can be as simple as that. Humans have practiced husbandry for centuries. Witness cows, dogs, horses, etc.
In my opinion, this does seem to line up with what Tom DeLonge has been saying in interviews and in his books.
>The idea of Gods, Man and War, that non-fiction trilogy as part of the Sekret Machines kind of idea, franchise, is that who are the gods? What were their interactions with us? Who are we as man and what is the trajectory of this kind of evolutionary, I wouldn’t say it’s evolutionary it’s more social engineering. Like where are we going, what does it look like we’re being shaped to do? And then War is like what the fuck are we going to do about this?
Elizondo’s comments about dogs in his interview on Theories of Everything are also interesting in the context of Nolan’s comment.
>There were a couple species that did very, very well with our immediate ascension. We brought a couple species with us, the dog as an example. That species benefitted greatly from mankind’s ascension as the alpha predator, and wound up succeeding as well, doing very well off of that.
>Does it turn out that mankind is, in fact, just another animal in the zoo? We thought of ourselves as the zookeeper before, but maybe we’re just another exhibit. What would that mean to us? When I say somber and sobering, I mean there’s going to come a point in this conversation where we are going to have to do a lot of reconciling with ourselves, whatever that means. From whatever philosophical view you have, this is going to impact every single one of us equally, yet differently, and I think t
... keep reading on reddit ➡I saw this interview of Garry Nolan referenced in this article posted by u/kvamsky earlier today so I went searching for it. He was interviewed by Linda Moulton Howe back in 2019 and he has some very interesting things to say on the subject of UAP and the human brain.
He starts out explaining his current research.
>We’ve got these individuals who claim certain experiences. We have individuals where experiences happen to them in the field, where there were, in many cases, multiple witnesses of “events” — and that’s about as far, unfortunately, as I can go in discussing those.
>There was an overlap in those individuals in terms of the apparent higher level of connectivity in the area of the caudate and the putamen, measuring the total amount of the nerve tract density in this area, and found it to be considerably greater than you would find in as many as a hundred normal individual’s MRIs that we pulled at random out of the database.
>Here you have a group of people who have a common set of experiences, or a common claim of experiences, who have this anomaly in their brain, at least an anomaly from the standpoint that it’s not normally found in the medical literature. It actually is but I’ll talk about that later in a very interesting sense. If you look at a random number of individuals you can’t find that.
>Now, what Kit had done with another neurologist — Kit by the way is a forensic neurologist. They’d gone in and done a double blind study on those patients in the cohort, to basically do a density estimation of the normals versus those who claim to have an experience. Through that double blind study you then feel confident that what it is that they think they saw was sufficiently different from normal when you run the statistics on it.
Linda then asks if it has anything to do with telepathy.
>Let’s ask the question this way. If anomalous cognition were to enter the brain, where does it enter? How does it enter? It’s not coming by the normal, let’s say electromagnetic waves that we’re all accustomed to thinking about. Where does it have to enter, and how does it become perception?
>If it’s going to enter anywhere, and it’s becoming perception, they all collect that information somewhere in the brain. So the hypothesis, at least that I put forward at least amongst friends, has been that the

If we are going to be getting any update about physical materials from UFOs, Gary Nolan is probably our best hope. He is a Stanford biologist who entered the UFO fray publicly by agreeing to do an extensive four year analysis on the Atacama skeleton promoted by Steven Greer. He has now partnered with Jacques Vallee to present a series of recovered UFO materials that display non-terrestrial isotopic ratios. This work was hyped in the phenomenon movie, and they are working on getting a paper peer reviewed for a top journal.
In this 2-hour interview, Garry Nolan talks about the very significant physiological and genetic peculiarities found in subjects who claim to have experienced, among other things, UAP encounters.

HOUR 1
- Garry Nolan got involved in this research through his interactions with Kit Green. The research focuses specifically on the region of the caudate and putamen in the brain, which is the seat of intuition, and how anomalous cognition might "line up with the intuitive processes in the brain."
- Dr. Nolan warns that the data is still preliminary; nothing has been published or peer-reviewed yet. The evidence so far is however enough to put forward a hypothesis and design protocols to test it.
- Nolan and Green had a cohort of patients that had "encountered something." Some of them were military/intelligence witnesses to anomalous events, others were civilians commonly referred to as "experiencers."
- Subjects' medical history and accounts of what they experienced were collected. For many of them, there were MRIs of their bodies, MRIs of their brains, or both.
- There was particular interest in the brain scans because the individuals displayed features that deviated from the norm. At first, this was interpreted as damage, however, through discussions, it turned out to be additional fibers between the caudate and putamen.
- He points out that he's used the word "connections" before, however the more correct way to refer to it is a fiber density, what appears to be nerve bundles (or white matter tracts) that connect the caudate and putamen areas.
- Garry Nolan reminds us that the anomaly is present in people that claimed anomalous cognition, however the claims themselves were not validated for the purposes of the study.
- Having said that, although he won't go further than saying the subjects experienced "events," some of the claims of anomalous events are backed up by testimony from multiple witnesses.
- The density of the nerve bundles in those individuals was much greater than a random sample of 100 MRIs pulled from a database.
- The anomaly is found in people with common claims, however the medical literature has never pointed out the anomaly in that context. It's not typically found in the general population.
- Kit Green and another neurologist did a double blind study on the cohort to estimate the density of the nerve bundles vs. that of normal subjects.
- At this point, they're lo

"When your mind expands to a certain point, in terms of what you might consider reality to be, other entities live there."
I tried to buy the PDF, but apparently the website isn’t taking registrations. The paper is titled Improved instrumental techniques, including isotopic analysis, applicable to the characterization of unusual materials with potential relevance to aerospace forensics.
Here’s a page of the study, some figures and pictures of the materials.
Here’s the abstract.
>The problem of precise characterization, analysis, and eventual identification of unknown materials arises in many fields and takes many forms, depending on the nature of the substances under study. In the first part of this paper we review common, modern mass spectrometry techniques applied to such studies. We also give an overview of improvements made to these technologies in recent years by Silicon Valley companies and other teams focused on precise biomedical research dependent upon sensitive techniques, yet applicable to a wide range of non-biological materials. In the second and third parts of the paper we review practical experiences applying these techniques to the simplest case of the characterization of solid materials (as opposed to liquids or gases) and comparing our results with previously undertaken isotopic analysis. In particular, we describe our correlations of that analysis with the patterns described by witnesses in a well-documented, still-unexplained incident, initially thought to be of aerospace origin, which gave rise to the deposition of unknown material, and by the investigators who handled it in the field and the laboratory. The lessons from this specific investigation are applicable to a wider range of issues in reverse engineering of complex, esoteric materials, and aerospace forensics.
The phrase “esoteric materials” is interesting.
Edit: I guess this wasn’t the Trinity materials, but from the Council Bluffs case. I’ve never heard of that before.
I thought Vallee and Nolan were examining the material described in the book, but I guess not.
I’d update the title if I could.
