People have claimed to obtain ideas and designs for advanced technology from other worldly beings and sources since at least the mid-1800's to the present. This information has been obtained by mediums, seers, prophets, channelers, "contactees", and other psychic people; via automatic writing, visions, dreams, drug induced experiences, and other brain and mind stimulants; through claims of actually meeting extraterrestrial beings, ghosts, angels, or other other worldly beings; or through getting ideas "from the air", from the "Akashic Records" or from the "universal consciousness". alll of these methods will for the time being be put under the heading of "Channeling Advanced Technology" , until a more suitable subject heading is found, since "channeling" is obviously not the only extaordinary means used for obtaining ideas and designs for advanced technology. Some examples of these are below, and a comprehensive list of sources is being developed by WISE. (Please note that WISE is well aware that the field of channelers, psychics, mediums, contactees, and similar people, are filled with frauds and fraudulent claims. However, we also realize, that even a fraud may inadvertently or unintentionally obtain information from an otherworldly source that may be true or useful.)
