Urban incursions by large, undescribed hominoids have been mentioned in historical literature but rarely examined through a consistent analytical framework. This study reviews 5,834 reports drawn from three public databases and the author’s research records to identify observations of putative relict hominoids entering populated areas by ≥0.40 km. Forty-two reports met the geographic criterion, and twenty-five (59.5%) met the study’s credibility threshold for inclusion. These incursions occurred in areas with a mean population density of 2,118 people/km 2 , exceeding the U.S. city average of 1

  4. Exploring the History of Reincarnation Beliefs

    article
    Institute of Noetic SciencesLiam O'MalleyAugust 26, 2026

    It’s commonly known that Buddhism and Hinduism have reincarnation as a key pillar, although the views differ slightly between the two. In this article, we will focus on less known views on reincarnation, and touch upon how they have affected mainstream views today. Let’s dive in and explore beliefs throughout the globe. The post Exploring the History of Reincarnation Beliefs appeared first on IONS .

  7. Responsive Universe Hypothesis for Macro-PK: A Testable Framework Linking Meaning, Measurement, and Outcomes

    article
    Journal of Scientific ExplorationDan GraboiSeptember 29, 2026

    Psychokinesis (PK) is a class of psi phenomena in which mental intention is claimed to affect matter – both living and nonliving – sometimes at a distance. Reports of metal bending, healing, and other PK outcomes share a striking feature: the form of the outcome is congruent with the semantic content of the intention. For example, reports indicate that when the target material is metal, and “BEND” expresses the intentional thought, a physical process occurs in which the target piece of metal becomes soft and bends. But if the target is a diseased organ in a specific body and the intention expr

  8. The Interdimensional Universe— Part 2: Out-of-Body Journeys, Coordinate Points, and Crucial Observations and Experiments for Scientific Exploration

    article
    Journal of Scientific ExplorationPaul CunninghamSeptember 29, 2026

    This two-part essay addressed a two-part question: “If extraterrestrial life exists, then where are they?” and “Is interdimensional travel possible and, if so, how?” Drawing upon the insights of Jane Roberts’s philosophical psychology, the following thesis is advanced and defended: Alternate life planes and reality systems exist and make contact with the spacetime structure of our own physical universe at coordinate points through which non-human intelligent beings may travel that can be scientifically investigated utilizing both objective instrumentation and subjective tools. Part 1 examined

  9. Anomalous Luminous Phenomena, Plasma Consciousness, and The Quantum Vacuum: Towards a Unified Framework for Interactive Plasma Phenomena, Non-Local Information Transfer, and the Physics of Consciousness

    article
    Journal of Scientific ExplorationMassimo TeodoraniSeptember 29, 2026

    Anomalous luminous phenomena (ALP) — long-duration plasma spheroids documented most systematically at Hessdalen, Norway — exhibit physical properties that conventional plasma physics cannot adequately explain such as sustained self-confinement for tens of minutes, periodic pulsation, multi-chromatic emission, and a documented responsiveness to laser stimulation bearing the hallmarks of an intelligent reaction rather than a passive optical interaction. This paper proposes a unified conceptual and partially mathematical framework built on three interlocking hypotheses. The Intelligent Plasma Hyp

  10. Investigating Remote Electrogastrogram Modulation Via Emotional and Eating Stimuli: A Sham-Controlled Pilot Study

    This pilot study investigated whether gastrointestinal activity, measured via electrogastrography (EGG), can be influenced nonlocally by a distant, emotionally bonded partner. Using a double-blind, sham-controlled design, thirty adult pairs were randomized to a Real or Sham condition. In the Real condition, the Sender experienced sad and food-related stimuli (selecting and eating food) while intending to transmit their experience to the distant Receiver; in the Sham condition, no stimuli were presented. Although the preregistered hypothesis predicting amplitude changes was not supported, a Lin

  11. Citizen Orb Photometry Pipeline (COPP): A Standardized Method for Computational Analysis of Anomalous Luminous Phenomena from Consumer Video Captures

    article
    Journal of Scientific ExplorationPaola Di MaioSeptember 29, 2026

    We present the Citizen Orb Photometry Pipeline (COPP), a standardized ten-step computational method for quantitative analysis of anomalous luminous phenomena (ALP) captured in consumer video recordings. The pipeline extracts frame-by-frame photometric measurements including centroid position, apparent size, peak and integrated intensity, RGB spectral channel decomposition, and derived metrics including blue excess, pulsation periodicity, and position discontinuities. A key methodological innovation is adaptive spectral measurement: when sensor saturation renders core color data unreliable, the

  12. Unexpected Extemporaneous Anomalous Reactions (UNEARs) and their Relationship with Meditation

    article
    Journal of Scientific ExplorationCésar Augustus FernandesSeptember 29, 2026

    The beneficial effects of meditation have attracted increasing scientific interest, particularly regarding the mechanisms through which this ancient practice may contribute to health recovery and maintenance. Nevertheless, despite the broad range of benefits attributed to meditative practices, the literature also reports numerous unusual experiences related to meditation. This study describes reports from three novice practitioners of meditation who experienced unexpected reactions, including headache, sudden sialorrhea, sudden heat in the body, drowsiness, feeling indisposed, an increase in a
