Uri Geller
On July 2, 2023, in an unexpected televised moment on i24 News, Uri Geller dropped a bombshell. Speaking with the conviction of a man who has kept a secret too long, he claimed that half a century ago, he was personally escorted by Dr. Edgar Mitchell—Apollo 14 astronaut and sixth man on the Moon—through backchannels of the CIA out of Israel, all because one man wanted to meet him: Wernher von Braun.
According to Geller, the legendary rocket scientist didn’t just want a handshake. Von Braun allegedly brought him to a classified NASA facility. The real surprise came after a descent three stories underground. There, beneath layers of steel and secrecy, Geller was led past a glass door, down a cold corridor, and into what he describes as a refrigerator-like room. Inside? He says he saw alien bodies lying in transparent tubes.
“This is exactly what I saw,” Geller insists. “Nobody can take this away from me.”
As if this wasn’t dramatic enough, Geller claimed to be holding a camera at the time—snapping photographs that he believes could “shock the world.” While no such images have been made public, he says the memory haunts him to this day. Every few months, he claims to feel a strange jolt in his hand, a sensation he can’t explain.
He also stated that von Braun showed him a fragment of exotic metal—allegedly recovered from a UFO crash site and stored under tight security. These claims remain unverified, but the boldness of Geller’s storytelling continues to captivate.
Born on December 20, 1946, in Tel Aviv (then under British mandate), Geller’s life has been anything but ordinary. A child of Hungarian and Austrian immigrants, Geller’s early years were shaped by hardship and an early claim of a supernatural encounter—being hit by a beam of light from a hovering object, which he later identified as a UFO.
By the 1970s, Geller had gone global. With his spoon-bending demonstrations and apparent telepathic feats, he sparked a psychic craze in the West. He became a regular on television and was studied by scientists at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), including physicists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff. They published papers suggesting Geller might indeed possess anomalous abilities.
His links to intelligence work further deepen the intrigue. In the 2013 BBC documentary The Secret Life of Uri Geller – Psychic Spy?, Geller openly admitted to working for intelligence agencies, including the CIA, where he allegedly used his abilities for espionage during the Cold War. He claimed involvement in events ranging from hostage negotiations to locating submarines.
In his autobiographies—Uri Geller: My Story and The Geller Effect—he expands on these stories, often hinting at forces beyond our understanding.
Geller has long maintained that his powers have extraterrestrial origins. He attributes his psychic awakening to the childhood encounter with the glowing sphere. That theme recurs in his public statements and in books written about him, such as The Geller Phenomenon by Colin Wilson and Uri Geller: Magician or Mystic? by Jonathan Margolis.
His 2023 revelation adds fuel to long-standing reports in UFO circles that Geller was more than just a showman—that he may have had deep access to non-human technologies and entities. Whether this latest story is a memory, a metaphor, or a message, it continues to echo across the broader conversation surrounding disclosure.
Uri Geller continues to surprise. His recent claims of being shown alien bodies by Wernher von Braun, of holding photos that could rewrite history, and of experiencing strange physical jolts decades later, are a reminder that some mysteries remain just out of reach.
As Geller said in the interview, “Nobody can take this away from me.” Whether the world will one day see the photographs he claims to have taken—well, that’s a mystery still waiting to unfold.
