In 1971 Andrija Puharich met a talented young Israeli named Uri
Geller, whose psychic abilities had already made him well known
in his homeland. The next year Uri came to America, where millions
of people have since watched him bend keys, stop watches, and
break metal rings, with no apparent physical pressure. So far
no one has been able to explain successfully how he does these
things.
But these remarkable talents are only the beginning of the story
told in this book. Out of the friendship between Dr. Puharich
and Uri Geller grew one of the most extraordinary adventures of
a lifetime. Not long after their first meeting, according to Puharich,
they were contacted by "Spectra," a voice they believed
to represent an extraterrestrial intelligence called "Hoova."
This is Dr. Puharich's account of how he and Uri thus became the
first individuals in modern history believed to have made extended
contact with non-earthly beings; how "Hoova" explained
the source of Uri's psychic powers; and what they learned about
the relationship between this intelligence and the inhabitants
of earth.
Andrija Puharich is a medical doctor. After completing
his studies at Northwestem University Medical School, he set up
his own laboratory in Maine for the study of extrasensory perception.
He has studied some of the most noteworthy examples of paranormal
activity that have occurred in modern times, many of which are
detailed in his earlier books, Beyond Telepathy and The
Sacred Mushroom.
