Uri Geller

On July 2, 2023, Uri Geller claims on i24 News that Dr. Edgar Mitchell convinced him to leave Israel through CIA contacts and that Wernher von Braun wants to meet him. He claims that Dr. Edgar Mitchell takes him to a secret NASA Base. Uri Geller provides a photograph as evidence of the meeting. Wernher von Braun shows him a piece of exotic metal from a UFO that crashed on the planet. Uri Geller also views a metal specimen that is kept in a safe. Uri Geller then gets taken to undisclosed location by Wernher von Braun to a refrigerator room to show him alien bodies.

Uri Geller is an intriguing personality who has been at the center of numerous public discussions. Geller, born on December 20, 1946, in Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel), has spent decades in the limelight. Known primarily for his purported psychic abilities, Geller’s unique demonstrations have fascinated, and at times perplexed, audiences worldwide.

Born to Hungarian and Austrian parents, Geller had a challenging childhood with his parents’ separation and his mother’s subsequent economic hardships. His learning seems to have come primarily from life experiences and his involvement in diverse areas such as entertainment, writing, and, more controversially, paranormal activities.

Geller began his career as a nightclub entertainer in Israel, captivating audiences with his performances that showcased supposed psychic phenomena. These performances often included what he claimed to be telekinetic feats, like spoon bending, and psychic readings. He gained international prominence in the 1970s after appearing on television shows in the United States, where he demonstrated these abilities under the scrutiny of live audiences and cameras.

Uri Geller’s association with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) originates from his claims of receiving his powers from extraterrestrials. Geller asserts that he was touched by a light from a sphere when he was a child, which he later recognized as a UFO or UAP when he began to understand his abilities better. This story was confirmed in a biographical book “Uri Geller: My Story,” where Geller describes the incident in detail.

He was tested by researchers at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the 1970s, where the researchers claimed some of his abilities appeared genuine, but these findings were widely disputed. No conclusive, broadly accepted scientific theory explains Geller’s abilities, though concepts like telekinesis and psychic phenomena remain topics of ongoing research and debate.

Experts’ opinions on Geller’s psychic abilities are varied. For example, in “The Geller Papers,” editor Charles Panati, a former physicist, gathered a collection of scientific essays and articles both supporting and challenging Geller’s powers. Similarly, while researchers like Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff from SRI initially supported Geller’s abilities.

Uri Geller has written several books, including “Uri Geller: My Story,” “The Geller Effect,” and “Uri Geller’s Little Book of Mind-Power.”

There are also several books written about Geller. For example, Jonathan Margolis’ “Uri Geller: Magician or Mystic?” provides an objective examination of Geller’s life and work. Similarly, “The Geller Phenomenon” by Colin Wilson explores Geller’s psychic abilities. These books primarily discuss Geller’s life, career, and alleged abilities, making him the subject of their investigation.

The life of Uri Geller, from his early beginnings in Tel Aviv, Israel to his global recognition as a performer, author, and proclaimed psychic, is a narrative filled with curiosity, controversy, and debate. His claims of extraterrestrial origins for his alleged abilities, coupled with his assertions of involvement with the CIA and other intelligence agencies, have added layers of intrigue to his persona. The recent revelation on i24 News in 2023, where Geller claimed to have met with Wernher von Braun and viewed extraterrestrial artifacts and bodies, further emphasizes the enigmatic nature of this narrative.
