'The Geller Effect is one of those "para" phenomena
which changed the world of physics. What the most outstanding
physicists of the last decades of this century could grasp only
as theoretical implication, Uri brought it as fact into everyday
life'
Dr Walter A. Frank {Bonn University, Bonn}
'Metal objects were bent or divided by Geller in circumstances
such as to prove conclusively that the phenomena were genuine
and para-normal'
Dr A.R.G. Owen {New Horizons Research Foundation, Toronto, Canada}
'There is no logical explanation for what Geller did here, but
I don't think logic is what necessarily makes new in-roads in
science'
Dr Thomas Coohill, {Western Kentucky University, Physics Dept,
Bowling Green}
'Geller has bent my ring in the palm of my hand without ever touching
it. Personally, I have no scientific explanation for the phenomena'
Wernher von Braun, {NASA scientist}
'The Geller method of breaking steel is unlike anything described
in the [Metallurgical] literature, from fatigue fractures -195
degrees to brittle fractures +600 degrees Centigrade... Why is
metal bending important? Simply because we do not understand it'
Professor John B. Hasted {Birkbeck College, University of London}
'The evidence based on metallurgical analysis of fractured surfaces
[produced by Geller] indicates that a paranormal influence must
have been operative in the formation of the fractures'
Dr Wilbur Franklin {Physics Department, Kent State University}
'As a result of Geller's success in this experimental period,
we consider that he has demonstrated his paranormal perceptual
ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner' {The results of
these experiments were published in the respected British journal
Nature, Volume 251, No. 5476}
Dr Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ {Stanford Research Institute}
'The bends in metal objects {made by Geller} could not have been
made by ordinary manual means'
Dr Albert Ducrocq {Telemetry Laboratory, Foch Hospital, Suren,
France}
'Geller altered the lattice structure of a metal alloy in a way
that cannot be duplicated. There is no present scientific explanation
as to how he did this' {This is the first research related to
parapsychology conducted at a US Government facility to have been
released for publication by the US Department of Defense}
Eldon Byrd {US Naval Surface Weapons Center, Maryland}
'I have failed to conceive of any means of deception in the static
PK tests with Geller, nor have magicians I have consulted'
William E. Cox {Institute of Parapsychology, Durham, North Carolina}
'"The scientific community has been put on notice that there is something
worthy of their attention and scrutiny in the possibilities of ESP." With
these words the respected British journal, Nature,
called on scientists to join or refute millions of non-scientists to believe
human consciousness has more capabilities for real perception than the five
senses'
New York Times editorial
'I tested Uri Geller myself under laboratory controlled conditions,
and saw with my own eyes the bending of a key which was not touched
by Geller at any time. There was a group present during the experiment
who all witnessed the key bending in eleven seconds to an angle
of thirty degrees. Afterwards we tested the key in a scientific
laboratory, using devices such as electron microscopes and X-rays,
and found that there were no chemical, manual or mechanical forces
involved in the bending of the key.'
Professor Hellmut Hofmann {Vienna, Austria}
'Uri Geller is extraordinarily gifted in telepathy'
Professor Mittenecker {Psychologist, University of Graz, Austria}
