Dark Matter Monsters: Cryptids, Ball Lightning, and the Science of Secret Lifeforms
If Bigfoot is an Ancient Primate or an Undiscovered Human, why is the Creature Seen Around Balls of Light and Other Paranormal Phenomena?Thousands of people have witnessed bigfoot and other strange creatures for decades in North America and worldwide. In many cases, these encounters have been followed up and documented, including physical evidence by trained investigators. Is bigfoot an undiscovered primate, a relic hominid, or an alien species? And why are so many encounters also filled with unusual and extraordinary phenomena like luminosities, time slips, and telepathic interactions?
Dark Matter Monsters examines critical, new scientific findings in coherent energy-matter and how these ideas help explain seemingly paranormal phenomena, like space-time anomalies and orbs, seen around creatures such as bigfoot and other mysterious cryptids. Are cryptids related to ball lightning and orbs? Coherent matter was a subject of interest to inventor Nicola Tesla over one hundred years ago and many researchers, such as Fleischmann and Pons, who did cold fusion experiments at the University of Utah in the late 1980s. Japanese, American and Russian scientists like Takaaki Matsumoto, Kenneth Shoulders, and Alexander Parkhomov have seen similar results.You Will
What often happens right before a bigfoot encounter and whyWhy bigfoot creatures can become invisibleHow social stigma prevents us from talking about these phenomenaSudden temperature changes around bigfoot, orbs, and UFOsThe connection between the Fifth State of Matter and ball lightningThe anti-gravitational effects of ball lightning, coherent matter, and paranormal phenomenaA top-level engineer who handled quantum material from an extraterrestrial spacecraftStrange space-time anomalies experienced around bigfoot creaturesHow a Midwestern town in the US mysteriously suffered a short-term total electromagnetic collapseHow the US government monitored a successful Soviet PK experimentHow weird gravitational effects are caused by ball lightningUnexplained camera and battery failure around cryptids and crop circlesWhy a Pentagon Program called AAWSAP did research at Skinwalker Ranch
The book begins with a look at cosmological dark matter, which has yet to be identified but appears to occupy some 34 percent of the universe as a source of cryptids' strange and remarkable abilities. Taking dark energy into account, as much as 99.5 percent of our Universe is invisible to us! One candidate for explaining dark matter is relic neutrinos produced in huge quantities during the Big Bang. Relic neutrinos interact with biological organisms on Earth and might explain why creatures like bigfoot seem to possess remarkable abilities such as extraordinary speed, strength, cloaking, and can generate orbs and ball lightning. The author also delves into how coherent matter relates to fractals, the Pentagon's AAWSAP Program, research at Skinwalker Ranch, and sudden battery and technology malfunctions around cryptids, cold fusion/LENR experiments, and crop circles. Other subjects covered include how social stigma is attached to these and related topics like Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) encountered by the US Navy and why that makes it harder for witnesses to report such encounters. It contains new witness accounts of cryptid encounters, never shared before.

Very interesting. Will you start questioning your memories?
Such as the huge ball of light that passed over our truck on highway 15 on the way home from watching Conan the Barbarian in a Mt . Carmel theater in 1982. How did I escape from a totaled car within a year of that? No visible means of escape just outside a wooded area close to home. I showed up on a neighbor’s doorstep with no memories of the accident or how I got there. Coincidence, luck, providence? The book fills in several holes that make stories unbelievable….yet I have always believed there is something out there. Possibly many somethings.

Hein seems like a science guy, which is fine and he does a good job of explaining dark matter and how it corresponds to cryptids. He concludes that we live in a reality with alternate realities (um yeah). As a shaman and a medium, I can attest to and support this conclusion. I am not sure that ball lightning can explain all the balls or orbs of light that are seen. He dances around the idea that these balls of light are actually paranormal beings or that they are vehicles that may be traveling in, which is a theory I am leaning toward. In all, a good book and a solid proposed theory on why paranormal things happen around cryptid sightings.

Connects the dots in detail
My wide range of experiences has now a understanding of how I percieve the world. An excellent read. Highly recommended.

I will admit that there are parts of this book that are way too complex for me to understand but I think I get the general idea of what is being discussed in those parts.
The book takes a very scientific method approach to various cryptids and whether or not they are physical structures whose origin is this planet or if some of them are not from our reality but are from some other kind of reality/parallel dimension/alternate dimension/somewhere else.
Some of the things the author brings up include:
There is no set pattern to seeing cryptids.
There is an academic prejudice against anyone studying cryptids/UFOs, etc.
Coherent matter
Dark matter monsters
Cloaking, teleportation and other cryptid abilities.
Bigfoot is a legitimate area of study.
Types of UFOs.
The Black Knight Satellite. (This could be something extremely important so why has no government or private company launched a manned rocket to get close to the thing and study it once and for all?)
Orbs.
Electromagnetic and gravitational effects of coherent matter.
Battery failure when dealing with cryptids and UFOs.
Crop circles. (Whether or not these are 'real' I think many of them are beautiful works of art.)
Miniature black holes.
Overlapping realities.
Cold fusion.
Ball lightening.
Plasma vortices.
Sudden ending of tracks when following cryptid tracks.
Brain fog.
Sudden feelings of danger, apprehension, fear.
Fractals.
Neutrinos.
Quantum effects.
Plus a lot of other material. I think in general the book is saying that many cryptids exist somehow in our reality, have abilities we don't understand and are things that we really should try to avoid.
It may be a complex book but it does present a very rational explanation for the existence of things that are very, very strange and so far have had no single explanation for their existence.

This book contains a lot of heavy science. It's good to see a scientific type take this subject so seriously, even if the author is a social scientist. With my humanities degrees, I can't say I understood every word. But, humanities teaches you to look at the big picture and I do believe I came away with an overall understanding of what the author was talking about. It's basically a unified theory of the paranormal, which is what I believe in, with the author using dark matter and particle physics as the glue to unify his theory.
A couple of parts I thought were interesting was the observation that our society will arrest and convict someone based on eye witness testimony, yet thousands of cryptid sightings -and especially Bigfoot sightings - even when investigated by trained investigators are dismissed as being the result of the psychological problems of "crazy" people or the rantings of alcohol abusers. This really hit me hard. Also, the meaning of "para" as in "paranormal" is often assumed to mean something crazy. Yet, "para" simply means "next to," like a paramedic kneeling down close to a patient. There is nothing inherently wacky or crazy about the paranormal as it simply refers to things that exist right alongside of us in our normal reality. Finally, there was the notion that some, if not all, cryptids may be superior to humans based on their ability to use physics to their advantage to control time and space for things like teleportation and cloaking.
Overall, this book added a lot to my knowledge and understanding of Fortean phenomena. It is a fine addition to the large amount of data I am synthesizing in an attempt to better understand the paranormal.

intriguing take
I read this book twice I couldn’t get through it the first time because I was not in the mental state for statistics in really critical thinking. If you have trouble getting through it take one chapter of the time it was well worth it

A Must Read Book
This book is great. A real eye opener, very detailed, I learned alot, some of the unknowns in the world are matter, energy,

surprise
One of the best books I’ve come across on universal characteristics of anomalous phenomena. We need more thoughtful texts from credentialed authors, like this.

pretty fun
Entertaining though the wiki on cold fusion is creepy and not validating but still cool to brush up on the legend and varying locations and nature of the beast
