Episode 99: Secrecy, Silence and the Sacred with Professor WHAM

“Storm’s Brewing” Watercolor on paper, Barbara Fisher, 2021 This painting of the Trinity Site is done in watercolor, and is a composite of three photographs taken of the area. The sign is on a fence, but the composition looked weird with the fence, so I left it out.

I haven’t found a lot of in depth conversation of Dr, Jacques Vallee and Paola Harris’ book, Trinity: The Best Kept Secret since it came out, which is a shame, because I’ve been wanting to talk about it for a long while.

Then I saw that Professor WHAM had written a three (now four) part series of blog posts entitled “Contact with Colliding Worlds “about Trinity and related issues . After reading them, I decided she was the perfect person to talk about it with, so here we are.

So, if you read the blog posts (Go read them), you will note that WHAM doesn’t just talk about Vallee and Harris’ book. At the same time as she was reading that book, she was also reading The Pueblo Revolt by David Roberts. This book is probably the best book on the subject of the 1680 revolt and uprising by a pan-tribal coalition of the Pueblo peoples that drove the Spanish colonists out of their territories for 12 years.

It was a deeply bloody affair, and oddly enough, happened in the same general area that the events of Vallee and Harris’ Trinity took place. It was a military uprising conducted under a veil of absolute secrecy, coordinated among a diversity of tribes, and to this day, the elders of the tribes who have kept the oral traditions of their peoples alive, will not speak to non-Indigenous people about how it all happened.

Like the men who worked on The Manhattan Project, they knew, but they’re not telling.

Like many UFO witnesses, they know, but they’re not telling.

This leads us to discuss the sacredness of synchronicity, and keeping secret that which is meant only for the experiencer. Along the way, WHAM tells personal stories and points out myriad connections between UFOs and nuclear secrets.

And she points out other historical works relevant to the discussion such as the book, To Hell and Back by Charles Pelligrino, which details the stories of the handful of people who survived both explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, around the time of the Trinity incident outlined in Vallee and Harris’ book.

There is so much to say on the matter, so many books relevant to the discourse, works of poetry and pop music and television. Hopi Stories of Witchcraft, Shamanism and Magic by Ken Gary. The Book of Dreams by Peter Reich. The song, “Cloudbusting,” by Kate Bush. The poem, “Birdland” by Patti Smith. The Xenogenesis Trilogy by Octavia Butler. “Twin Peaks: The Return,” by David Lynch.

Look for more discussion on the confluence of UFO’s and nuclear weapons in the coming months.
