Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government’s Investigations into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis

Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen ‘89 follows up The Pentagon’s Brain with Phenomena (Little, Brown and Co.), the story of a team of scientists and psychics with top-secret clearances. For over 40 years the government has researched extrasensory perception and attempted to use it to locate hostages, fugitives, and secret bases. Jacobsen’s investigation is the first exploration into this radical, controversial, and long-hidden program.
