Why people recommend it
Penetration by Ingo Swann and Janet Lee Mitchell is a controversial book detailing the author's alleged experiences as a remote viewer in government psychic programs and his encounters with extraterrestrial phenomena. The book was highlighted on The Joe Rogan Experience by guest Jesse Michels and host Joe Rogan on separate occasions. Jesse Michels described how Ingo Swann, a remote viewer involved in the military's Stargate program, wrote about being approached by a mysterious government operative named Axelrod and instructed to use remote viewing to observe a base on the moon. Joe Rogan similarly discussed the book with guest Tim Dillon, sharing that Penetration was one of the primary titles that initially sparked his own personal interest in remote viewing and classified government research into psychic phenomena. Both speakers explored the bizarre claims made by Swann in the text, highlighting its unique place at the intersection of intelligence operations, anomalous human capabilities, and outer space lore.
