Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy
-Extraterrestrials
-Telepathy
-Earthside and spaceside visits to the Moon
-UltraSuperSecret UFO activities and cover-ups
Ingo Swann--renowned PSI researcher--reveals a long-held secret series of experiences with a "deep black" agency whose apparent charter was simple: UFOs and extraterrestrials on the moon, and worries about ET telepathic/mind control powers. The agency was so secret that it had no paper trail, and hence no written secrecy agreements. Only the verbal ones, which in Ingo's case expired several years ago. Now, in this era of burgeoning UFO "glasnost," he tells a story of meetings held in a secret underground facility not far from Washington DC, and of being taken to a remote location near the Arctic Circle to witness the expected arrival of a huge UFO over the surface of an Alaskan lake.
This book discusses undeveloped human telepathy and contrasts it with the probable existence of fully developed alien telepathy, which may have many different forms.
Ingo also explores the fact that we officially know far more than we're admitting about the Moon - its origins, its atmosphere, its occupants and many other unusual features.
Penetration is about one of the means by which we can learn more about those not of this earth (and vice-versa - telepathy. Do we have the means to answer some very important questions that many have been asking for quite a long time? Inside this book are the answers to some.

He surely may have a point (or many) in his approach to themes like telekinesis, remote viewing, precognition, clairvoyance (and other "siddhis", according to the Sanskrit language).
For many years a “materialistic” science has prevented these phenomena from being properly addressed. At stake: it’s the “scientific method” of “1845” which limits the reality to a physical reality. Obviously, Ingo’s approach admits “multiple dimensions”; and like the old India's traditions: reality has several levels (the realm of desire, the mind,…); the physical one, being just one of them.
He praises Sanskrit language for being an ”experiential” language, unlike English ("a 200 year old vocabulary” that made us “too much trapped in the past”).
Yet science is “changing”. It's been uncovered “more stuff”, well beyond matter: “dark energy”, “dark matter” etc.
Ingo points to the fact that there are many experienced things that one cannot prove they happened; also, there are other experiences you cannot take into a lab.
The book has got three parts. The first one reports his involvement in the PSI research. Noteworthy and curious I’ve found his initiative of introducing “adventure and enjoyment” in research, with the Jupiter Experiment. Though laughable (“a psychic, mind-trip to Jupiter”! “get there psychically before NASA") an idea, he managed to succeed his remote viewing of a planet, then not so well known in its features.
With proper controls in place, that Saturday of 1973, the raw material obtained was “one page of sketches” and “two and half pages of verbal observations”.
Almost incredible, that in the years ahead several space missions confirmed what was obtained by remote viewing. Namely, these features of Jupiter: a hydrogen mantle, tornados and storm winds, high infrared reading, cloud color, temperature inversion, the dominant orange color…. How he did it, it’s not in the book.
The part two concentrates on the Moon; its hollowness, namely. As to the UFO phenomenon, Ingo believes that “there are authentic reports”.
Part three approaches the topic of Telepathy, from the Earth side and from Space side.
Elsewhere I’ve watched Ingo suggesting that remote viewing can be trained.
Good luck.

I read this book because I find Ingo Swann to be the kind of person who can totally entertain you with the recalling of his adventures. As one of the subjects of telepathic research back in the '70s at SRI when the pentagon was interested in such things, Ingo undoubtedly had the chance to experience some interesting things to say the least. I found his chapters on the moon to be very interesting. I came away not convinced of any ET activity, but the cloak and dagger tales and his compilation of "factoids" regarding the moon were worth the time and thought provoking. I definitely would not recommend this to any hard core skeptics out there, but anyone with an open mind and interested in this type of subject matter will probably find it entertaining.

One of the most intriguing and provocative books I so far had the privilege of reading. The story in first part will likely stay with me for a long time to come. I don't see any reason why this one could be made up. after all the story or rather a disclosure was made more than 10 yrs after it occurred. this book wasn't very popular, actually out of print now. amazon has used prices of around US$2200. But fortunately you can find a copy online. I never really thoroughly read the 2nd and 3rd part because they never really interested me. But the first part, a number of times. I would like to say a lot more as part of 'what I think' but I do not want to create spoilers for anyone who might be as interested as me. Google it and check it out!

This non-fiction book was written by one of the original people who worked on the "Stargate Project": Ingo Swann.
A little Background: This was a 1978 Defense Department (DIA) effort. It's research and subsequent project were in response to similar work being done in the USSR at the time. It developed and used a form of mental telepathy with people as 'viewers' by using their abilities to virtually spy on others. I say virtual because the viewers were located in one location and the scene the would view was in another location. This is referred to as 'remote viewing'. The American effort was started earlier (1970) by the CIA under the name 'Scanate', an outgrowth from the Stanford Research Institute located at Fort Meade, Maryland, conducted by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff.
Ingo Swann was part of a group of people that worked with this attached organization that was formed by them. Others that were part of the 'group' including Joseph McMoneagle, who's work for the defense department included 'finding' more then 150 targets that were UNAVAILABLE from other sources.
This book is divided into three sections:
Part 1 - (Ultra-Secret Going-Ons), I found this section to be the most interesting. Not surprising since it is where Mr Swann outlines being called upon to do a remote viewing session for an ultra-secretive client named Axelrod. He not only has the session, but he has odd interactions with this client and staff. He gets a little more then he bargained for, both during and after the event, including an eye-opening situation that later occurred in a grocery store.
This is the foundation for the discussion outlined in the book. This first section is worth the price of admission all by itself.
PART 2 - talks about the Moon and describes how odd it is that we stopped going there after such a national effort was utilized to get there initially and first, ahead of the Russians. He talks about how much of the Moon has been mapped and then ignored. Passed off as a dead environment to the public, in what he calls the 'Dead Moon Dictum'. Why areas were used by us and other areas avoided, including the back side. He writes about the information that was suppressed and evidence that it is not the 'dead' Moon that we have been lead to believe it is. These include the anomalies that the experts refused to share with us. He includes descriptions by different authors, who over the years, tried to share information about the moon that was contrary to what was considered to be the normal description through the years. Included at the end of the book is an update that is directly related to this scenario.
PART 3 - focuses more on the discussion of the conscience of Man and other Beings, or what he refers to as 'Earthside Telepathy and Spaceside Telepathy'. while still utilizing the information about the Moon's history. He describes a method that keeps us ignorant about the Moon and many other things that should be more obvious to the public in what he calls 'Intellectual Phase Locking'. At least until it's convenient to be informative, such as in the overdue admission of the Moon having many more resources available then admitted to by our government and science community.
All in all, I guess you can place whatever weight you are comfortable with on this information, however there is no denial from the Defense Department towards it that I've seen. I see some of the reviews that say there is interest in this, but it doesn't sway their opinions about things Paranormal, including extraterrestrials. I don't know how you could read this and find it persuasive yet not be convinced by what it says.
I really enjoyed the first section, while parts two and three were not as much fun, per se, yet he presented good arguments, aimed at exposing the contrary information that is taken for granted by so many!
I believe this was more then well worth reading! I would have given a 4.5, if I could the stars to work that way. That somehow seems poetic.

Like all of Ingo Swann's writings, Penetration requires a reader willing to be surprised and engaged by both unusual events and explanations for them that only a talented psychic can present. That he sometimes does not do so in the prettiest prose can be a turn-off (why 4 stars and not 5) but one well worth plowing through.
He presents his viewpoint on some of the well-known elements of his life story (remote viewing with the SRI group including his psychic journey to Jupiter in 1973) and some less known (an out-of-body probe to the far side of the moon in which he telepathically observed what appeared to be an alien installation). There is a lot more of such material, which the read can take or leave as his judgment dictates.
But the book is far more valuable for Swann's thought-provoking hypotheses and observations if not straightforward answers on subjects critical to rational adjudication of fact/fiction in the realm of the paranormal.
For example:
"...telepathy might be a universal 'language' system of some kind that operates through consciousness entities everywhere."
"...the best evidence we have for telepathy, for example, is that it seems to be universal to our species. People experience it regardless of their different cultures, their different backgrounds. If we assume that Intelligence can be universal, we also have to assume that Intelligence also has to have sensing factors that also are universal.”
."Since people tend to operate based on feedback, they tend to forget about stuff that never achieves the feedback."
The book is loaded with concepts that require and deserve deep grokking (Swann likes to use this Heinlein term for deep pondering) even if they are outside one's comfort zone. After all, it is Swann's intent to move the human population beyond its current comfort zone, which sadly is smothering the race into oblivion.
Penetration is a tough read from an intense author on controversial subject matter, tall of which signal it to be required reading.

Important read on Extraterrestrials.
Wow, Ingo Swann has finally put into book form some of his amazing experiences. This book covers not the time he spent with Stanford University's remote viewing psychic research unit, of which he was one of the original members besides aiding in developing the protocol. Instead he goes into some of the extra secret work he did concerning exploration of the Moon and Jupiter. Totally gobsmacked. Towards the end, he goes into his own personal speculation on what it all means. As I respect Mr. Swann for both his abilities and intelligence, I can only give serious consideration to what he has written. I suggest you read this and come to your own conclusions.

I couldn't put this book down! I enjoyed reading this book. It was fascinating to read about the experience of Ingo Swann. Ingo was a natural, gifted psychic and remote viewer. This book touches about his remote viewing experience and being tasked on off-planetary targets and coming across Extraterresrials and telepathy! I always seem to learn something new about our universe, our consciousness from one of the old-timers of remote viewing.
I'm so amazed by the things that go on in our planet that never gets talked about, or information that gets suppressed. Ingo's "Penetration" is just another example of the human potential that we have in using our subconscious. I highly recommend this book.

Save your time
The book started out good, but quickly turned into a rambling repetitive boring discourse on telepathy and how the government wont share its high resolution photos of the moon among other psychological BS. 1998 might have been the time to try and suffer thru this book.

Some interesting points, especially when they can't really be debunked or confirmed. I enjoyed Ingo's writing style. It felt like he was sitting opposite me just talking to me. I'm a huge fan of The Why Files which led me to this book and down this rabbit hole. Do I believe everything Ingo told me in this book? No. But I do think there is always smoke where there's fire.

Fascinating insights of Remote-viewing
I was very interested in the information by remote-viewing the Moon and Mars. The combined information from four others looking into Mars’ surface opened my curiosity for reading more about these subjects.

If this book is Nothing Else, It's an excellent story.
Based on the supposed personal history of the Author whose ability to remote view anywhere,
the story starts with a clandestine recruitment of the author by US agency to remote view the moon. What the author finds there and then adds with plausible evidence corroborate forms the basis of his amazing story that the moon is not what we think and aliens exist and inhabit it.
It'd be up to you to evaluate this a non-fiction Or (more likely) extremely entertaining science fiction set in our own reality with our Known Deep State actors Persuading US of many things. :-p
I just reread the book and look forward to reading other moon conspiracy alien books.

If you're interested in remote viewing, this is a must read. The book talks about how remote viewing came about, how it got its name, and some of the targets Ingo was asked to use it for. Ingo is very easy to read, completely unpretentious, direct, and funny. And the things he has experienced will probably make you sit back and wonder. The book is fascinating, thought-provoking, and mind-blowing; this is my second reading and I find myself looking forward to reading a chapter or two every day. I highly recommend this book if you are at all interested in RV.

I had watched a few videos at youtube on the topic of remote viewing. Reading this book was enjoyable, and though controversial and hinting towards apparent conspiracy theories, I found it engrossing as a popular introduction to remote viewing.

Very disappointing
The book doesn't answer the question the title infers. It's all about history and a coverup about the moon. It refers to photographs but has no pictures . It's very out dated . Please just pass on this book.

Good insight into the mind of a schizophrenic person who thinks he can remote view and see aliens on the moon.
The book would be awesome if it was a fiction book though.

Well written and brings up many details of what really exists on the moon. The book keeps you engaged. Info was a rare and precious source in this field.

Ingo is great at guiding the reader into profound questions by referring to facts and then deducing bigger questions from them

A fairly interesting tale of Swann's run-in with signs of intelligent, civilized life on the moon. He got involved in psi-research and liked to keep it interesting, finding that boring experiments 'stifled his capacity'. Thus remote viewing Jupiter. Some secret project whisked him away to view the dark side of the moon, where he saw buildings and naked workers. A bunch of the book goes into how these details are covered up, how we're distracted from them, and how strange it is that we abandoned ideas of moon bases etc.
The latter portion of the book focuses on how telepathic capacities could be suppressed and how even the definition of telepathy helps to block out the capacity. Is telepathy really a "radio-like transmission of thoughts between two embodied minds"? And if we then split up the phenomenon of extra-sensory information attainment into distinct terms for each sensory medium, we could find it even harder to get off the ground. Whereas Swann suspects developed extraterrestrial entities have even more broad, universally developed 'telepathy+'.
It's a fun invitation to ask how we can glimpse through the gaps of consensus reality ;- )

Ingo Swann was a renown remote viewer and a New York artist who passed away in 2013.
The first part of this book, which details Ingo’s collaboration with a super secret government agency, I read without breathing. Extremely fascinating stuff. He was asked to remotely view the dark side of the Moon which yielded interesting stuff to say the least.
I secretly dream about rewriting my NYC history where I went to a party in early 2010s, met Ingo and let him tell me all the stories and more.
The second part of the book is Ingo reflecting on manipulation of the public via information and misinformation. That was also very good albeit less breathless reading. Overall, I’m so happy I was able to listen to this on Audible. It was a world-view altering listen, and I highly recommend to anyone.
PS: I’m now following very closely the planned Artemis missions to the Moon if you know what I mean. They keep postponing…

I've been a "believer" for a while now, and having come across a lot of "hard evidence" concerning E.T.s as well as PSI phenomena, Ingo's conclusions here weren't hard for me to digest. I had a distinct feeling of "nothing new here" when I read his somewhat meticulous descriptions of Lunar anomalies, which pretty much fills the latter half of the book.
What I DID enjoy was the initial part of the book; his first-person account of being inducted into a top-secret black program to remote view the moon, as well as his other experiences and adventures during that time. It was riveting to read, to say the least. Ingo gives amazing descriptions of the secrecy involved, the topography of the places he visits, as well as his encounter with a "craft". How exciting, haha.
If you're new to the world of ET coverups and parapsychological research, give this book a go. You won't be disappointed.

Written in three parts:
1) Swann’s adventures with a mysterious person who went under the pseudonym “Mr. Axelrod”. He hires Swann to remote view the moon, where he sees nude human men mining in some sort of habitation. He then suspects a woman he sees in a store is a psychic alien.
2) Swann lays out his case why the moon is not a dead rock, but we have all been lied to and it really is more habitable than we’ve been told. He says aliens are already there and that is why manned lunar missions ceased.
3) He discusses telepathy in humans and aliens and how he believes it functions. He goes at length to explain that humanity has been conditioned to believe telepathy is fake in order to suppress our species’ abilities by aliens.
Part 1 was fun. 2 and 3 dragged on a little. Don’t know much about Swann other than he claimed to have telepathic powers and was part of research studies at Stanford. Not sure what to make of his story, but it was fun read.

The first half of this book was quite captivating and I found Ingo Swann to be quite a funny and intellectual individual. I appreciate his candor and amusing writing style. The second half of the book, however, became quite dull to me but he managed to effectively make me more interested in the moon than I was before having read this book. Overall, I also admire him for who he is as a remote viewer and believer in ESP functions. I would have probably enjoyed this book more if he explained some of the cultural lore behind the moon in addition to the facts and scientific speculations about it. I appreciate that he provided so many specific and traceable references that I can explore in the event that I decide to fact check and verify what he is describing. I look forward to reading my next Ingo Swann book.

Another book I came to obliquely, not knowing anything about Ingo Swann, except the name, and that someone I knew had an acquaintance with him. Having read about the CIA's use of individuals for remote viewing, this was a first-hand experience of someone who did this not only for the CIA, but the Stanford Research Institute, and some unknown, or at least unclear third party, known as Axelrod. Remote viewing on the dark side of the moon reveals things we cannot confirm, although telescopes are apparently strong enough to detect details which are not usually mentioned by NASA, etc.
A fascinating first-hand experience.
Swann fails to mention SETI, which was established in 1985. This book was written in 1998.

Amazing
I was skeptical before reading this book but I couldn't resist after reading the description. I will admit much of this book went over my head, although I have had several instances of psychic phenomena. Many chapters were jaw dropping. There were many respectable offerings of proof of the details in this book. I can say this book has sent me on a voyage of discovery. This is either world shattering, covered up, breaking news or the best fantasy ever written. I encourage everyone to read and be ready to have their brains blown!

This is either world shattering, covered up, breaking news or the best fantasy ever written. I encourage everyone to read and be ready to have their brains blown!

Absolutely Fascinating
The story of Ingo Swann's, and others, remote viewing of the Moon and Mars was fascinating and somewhat frightening. The revelations concerning telepathy helped confirm the legitimacy of this psychic skill and those revealed in the "Telepathy Tapes," exposing some autistic children's psychic abilities.
So, I'm I to understand that entities of the US government sponsored remote viewing programs, knew Swann and Lt. Col. McNear, but didn't send Mars probes to the proper known coordinates to check it out? I wonder why not!?

The first part is very entertaining even for a work of fiction. The next two parts not that much.
All the ETs and conspiracy theories aside, it offers a different perspective on what we usually refer to as telepathy.
It would be one of many books on the topic except for who the author was within the remote viewing SRI - CIA program. If you are not aware of the context you may not appreciate its real value.

Part and partial
The first third of the book is interesting but the rest of it turns into a science book. The first part tells a story about the writers experiences. That was well done and enjoyable to read. The rest of it is just facts and theories about the Moon and conspiracies. Those are fine but it reads like a science book. Its just facts, theories, facts, theories all the way to the end of the book.
