Under the Giant Rock: The George Van Tassel Archive [Patreon Preview]

Myself, Theo and Theo head into the desert to meet a man named Don McKinney who owns a massive archive of George Van Tassel's recordings, photos, writing and even the original blueprints and models of The Integratron. In the last episode, Daniel Paul introduced us to Don, and we learned that he needed help digitizing his vast collection. I thought this was a great way for the show to use its resources to preserve paranormal history?and before we knew it, we were on our way to spend the week helping Don with his incredible collection. The full episode about our trip is available on the Otherworld Patreon.

Episode 123: The Story of The Integratron

After hearing Dave's story in the previous episode and the profound similarity between his UFO experience in Ojai and his meditation at the Integratron, we wanted to learn more about the strange history of this building. But what started out as an effort to learn more about this place ended up turning into a bit of an adventure. In this episode, historian Daniel Paul joins to tell the story of The Integratron and the man who built it, George Van Tassel. Van Tassel was an aerospace engineer who became a UFO pioneer after claiming contact with extraterrestrials in California?s Mojave Desert. He lived under Giant Rock, a 7-story boulder in the desert where he operated an airstrip and café. His life?s work was the Integratron, a domed structure he built based on channeled communications with a group of aliens called the Council of Seven Lights ?and, more specifically, an individual being named Solganda. After this interview, we traveled to the desert to meet a man named Don McKinney, who owns a massive archive of George's recordings, photos, and the original blueprints of the Integratron. If you want to hear about that trip and our effort to help Don preserve this archive, it will be available on the Otherworld Patreon next week.
