Andrija Puharich was a physician, inventor, and parapsychology researcher whose work linked medical electronics, psychic research, and alleged contact phenomena.
Andrija Puharich, born Henry Karel Puharić in 1918, was an American physician, medical inventor, and investigator of paranormal phenomena. He studied philosophy and pre-medical subjects at Northwestern University, completed medical training in 1947, and pursued independent research in biophysics and neurophysiology. His technical career produced dozens of patents, including work on miniaturized hearing devices and electrical stimulation, alongside interests that placed him far outside conventional medicine.
In 1948, Puharich established the Round Table Foundation in Maine, where he attempted to study telepathy, trance, altered states, and psychic healing with laboratory methods. He later served in the Army Medical Corps at Edgewood Arsenal and founded Intelectron Corporation, which received an Air Force contract related to hearing research. This movement between military medicine, private patronage, and consciousness and psi experimentation made him an enduring figure in histories of Cold War fringe science.
Puharich became best known for bringing psychics Peter Hurkos and Uri Geller to wider American attention. His 1974 book about Geller described purported psychokinesis, telepathy, and communications from entities he associated with extraterrestrial intelligence. Scientists and skeptics criticized his methods and credulity, and the extraordinary episodes he reported were never independently established. His earlier trance sessions also helped popularize the entity group called “The Nine,” a story later woven into accounts of alleged non-human intelligence.
His legacy is neither that of a conventional laboratory scientist nor simply that of a promoter. Puharich genuinely worked in medical electronics and invention while repeatedly extending weak or ambiguous evidence into sweeping theories about mind, technology, and contact. That combination influenced later remote-viewing researchers and contact narratives, even as it made his conclusions difficult to separate from suggestion, performance, and belief. His career remains a revealing example of how established institutions and speculative inquiry sometimes occupied the same Cold War networks.
[Retweeted] Are some alien abductions staged by humans? @Jason_Jorjani recounts claims he attributes to Andrija Puharich about manufactured abduction experiences. “90% of UFOs that people have close encounters with are the U.S. flying saucer fleet.” “And he said they’re staging half of the abductions.” “Puharich wasn’t some random guy. He was one of the earliest architects of MK Ultra.” “If anyone knew how to fake an alien abduction, it was Puharich.” So how do we distinguish a genuine encoun...

This was a WILD convo https://t.co/uN0o6TaPLB [Quoted] 🚨BREAKING🚨: Jason Jorjani says the UFO mystery may involve an intelligence manipulating human history through time. He argues that some encounters could be staged with secret technology, while others may involve a nonhuman superintelligence. “Human history is non-linear.” The philosopher and author returns for our third conversation, connecting time travel, consciousness and intelligence operations. His theory is that technological inte...

This is a huge deal! https://t.co/FADSE9p3NO [Quoted] NEW materials found in the ever elusive search for materials pertaining this 1985 Costa Rica Conference. It has become a sort of white whale for UFO and paranormal researchers, since no audio/video has been discovered- and very little photographs have surfaced. It’s important because the lineup of speakers here was quite legendary and included Andrija Puharich, Jacques Vallee, John Keel, John Lilly, Salvador Freixedo, and more. I’ve got my...
