Dr. John Alexander has been an active Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) member for over two decades. He has been judicious in applying a scientifically-trained, critical eye while personally encountering many situations that defy conventional explanations. Alexander is an explorer that has dared to tread paths shunned by other scientists who fear for their personal reputations rather than searching for the truth wherever that may take them. For this he has received both acclaim and condemnation from believers and scoffers alike.
Developing a deep interest in near-death studies, John Alexander completed his doctoral work under the world famous Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. He is a past president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) then located at the University of Connecticut. As part of his official military duties, he became involved in studying psychic phenomena and attempting to understand what the Soviet Union was doing in this area. He learned how to teach psychokinesis, and involved professional magicians in the process. His studies also covered remote viewing and extensive work in Neurolinguistic Programming. Through measurement of electrical impulses in oral leukocytes he demonstrated remote influence and used these studies to challenge the American National Academy of Sciences.
While in the military he formed an interagency group to study aerial phenomena (UFOs) and briefed many senior officials on this topic. Being interested in phenomenology he has traveled the world observing native healers and shamans. These visits include mountain trips into the Andes in Bolivia and Peru, the Himalayas in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. He has also studied with curanderos in the Amazon region of Peru and Brazil, observed Sufis in Turkey, witch-doctors in Zimbabwe, and gone to Timbuktu and met with the Tuaregs, the Blue men of the Sahel.
A former Green Beret combat commander, he received many military awards for valor and service, Aviation Week & Space Technology selected him as a 1993 Aerospace Laureate and in 1997 inducted him into the Hall of Fame at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. He received a Department of Energy Award of Excellence for the Nuclear Weapons Program in 1994, and is listed in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, American Men and Women of Science, Internationally recognized, he has written three books and dozens of professional articles. Currently he is a senior fellow with two Department of Defense Universities. Dr. Alexander also serves as a councilor for the SSE and on the board of directors for the International Association of Remote Viewers (IRVA)
