Positive Findings On Constable’s Orgonotic Bio-Forms
Part One: American & European Evidence
By Nik Hayes and Leon Southgate MSc
Editor’s comment,
The authors of this article revisit the work and findings of Trevor James Constable, and compared it with new data from Italian, US and Romanian researchers. When they were initially published, Trevor James Constable’s work was viewed with some skepticism in Orgonomy circles, and to some was considered unscientific, even mystical. The authors of this article invoke that skepticism with regard to Constable’s work. At the same time, the authors discuss new investigational findings that corroborate Constable’s own findings and results. In scientific and historical terms the article should hold interest for our readers. However the editor would like to emphasis the controversies surrounding Constable’s findings as well as recommend readers’ cautious discretion.
1.0 Synopsis and Introduction
1.1 Synopsis
Trevor James Constable, somewhat of a maverick even within orgonomy circles, claimed to have found evidence for plasmatic living forms in the atmosphere, living orgone entities. There has been a view within orgonomy that Constable’s claims have not been widely supported and that his claimed evidence has been shown to be flawed.
Part One of this paper will outline that Constable’s evidence was not dismissed satisfactorily. It describes key aspects of Constable’s US evidence from the 1950s. It also notes high quality but less known evidence from Italy and Romania from the 1980s.
Part Two will outline recent, substantial new British evidence.
The data as a whole is presented as supporting the proposal that plasmatic creatures may possibly be factual.
This first part of the paper is divided into the following sections:
- Synopsis and Introduction
- Summary of Orgonotic Qualities of Posited Bio-forms
- Evidence Against the Bio-forms
- Constable’s Evidence for Bio-forms
- Italian and European Evidence for Bio-forms
- Conclusion of US and European Evidence

1.2 Introduction
Trevor James Constable, a native New Zealander, first began his photographic pursuit of invisible entities in the Mojave Desert of Southern California in 1957. Having already developed a deep interest in invisible phenomena during the 1950s, Constable became particularly interested in cases where objects had been detected by radar, yet remained unseen to human sight.
Realising that the infrared portion of the spectrum adjoins the microwave spectrum, the portion of the spectrum in which radar operates, he decided to begin his search there. After initially experimenting with Kodak low-speed black and white infrared film, Constable eventually settled for the high-speed alternative. Although he would often use an 870 nanometre (nm) infrared pass filter in conjunction with the infrared film, he also took many photographs without it, with equally detailed results.
In the summer of 1957, Constable, along with friend and fellow researcher Dr. James Woods began driving at night to a remote area in the Mojave Desert between Yucca Valley and Old Woman Springs in Western USA. Once there they would set up camp, ready to begin their work at first light.
In order to attract the unknown entities to his position Constable would perform cyclical repetitions of the Star Exercise, an esoteric procedure by which the whole body and its life-force can be strongly energised. Performance of the exercise in this manner is thought to send a regular pattern of bio-energetic pulsations into the aether. Typically, Constable would stand on a large rock and perform the exercise, acting as a bio-energetic beacon, while Woods acted as photographer, although Constable also had a camera at the ready.
Constable would face the quadrant (north, south, east or west) in which the sun is closest at the time he commenced the exercise. For instance, in the morning before dawn he would face the east. Standing with legs apart and arms parallel to the ground, he would gently oscillate the body across the north – south and the east – west lines of the earth. In a sensitive person a warm sensation can then be felt in the palms of the hands, and in the region of the thymus at the point of resonance. These indications will help a person to "tune" into the magnetic and related fields of the earth.
Performing the Star Exercise involves finding this resonance point while facing east, then turning 180 degrees around to the right, and finding it again while facing west, then 90 degrees to the right and finding it while facing north, then 180 degrees to the right and finding it again while facing south. Constable would perform up to a hundred repetitions of the exercise at a time in order to attract unseen entities. This esoteric procedure is thought to create a concentration of life-force or orgone charge in the local atmosphere. This is then hoped to attract the posited entities (which are thought to be attuned to the increased orgone charge).
In order to objectify these objects, that he thought might be in the invisible state, Constable would use a technique learnt from his days in the US Merchant Marine, in which he served as a radio officer for 26 years. The technique was used for objectifying ships as they were coming over the horizon, and involved relaxing the eyes to a point where one looks past the sky, rather than actually at it. Using this simple method Constable found he could obtain impressions of otherwise invisible phenomena, such as flashes of light, or sometimes a shimmering variation in the otherwise blue sky. The authors have also found that this kind of "soft sight" is critical in observing orgonotic phenomena in the environment. Woods reported that he would often have a sour taste in his mouth when these objects were nearby. This could indicate an oranur effect as this is a known symptom of high oranur charge according to Reich (1). Oranur is an energy created when concentrated orgone is excited by a stimulus, for example by radioactive, electrical or mechanical means.
Upon later discovering the work of Dr Wilhelm Reich, through his daughter Eva Reich MD, Constable began building a cloudbuster based on the basic inventions of Dr. Reich, and on May 11th 1968 he began using it in place of the Star Exercise as an attraction technique. The cloudbuster is an array of parallel, hollow, metal tubes that are mounted on a turntable or some type of pivoting assembly. One end of the array of pipes is grounded into running water, while the other end is directed toward the atmosphere. Its use magnifies the differentials in the primary orgone energy field that may underlie atmospheric movement. This can precipitate changes in weather patterns. Orgone is attracted to water and moves toward higher concentrations of itself – a reversed entropy. Previously smooth fields of atmospheric orgone in the sky can be made to concentrate into eddies, or dissipate, depending on where the cloudbuster is aimed. Its operation also appears to affect other possible, more aetheric planes of existence.
1.3 Summary of the Possible Orgonotic Qualities of the Posited Bio-Forms
The posited bio-forms are thought to have the following orgonotic qualities:
- Attraction to areas of higher orgone charge
- Attraction to cloudbusters (cloudbusters may create an increased orgone charge in the local environment).
- Demonstrating movement within the environmental orgone streams that Reich noted (west to east) (2).
- A tube-like physiology of the posited bio-forms may reflect orgonotic flows (orgone flows within tubes in the orgonoscope, cloudbuster, DOR-buster and space-gun).
- Responsive to consciousness (this assumes that Southgate’s orgone continuum theory is correct, see (3) for further on the continuum theory).
These areas will be explored in the paper.
2. Evidence Against Plasmatic Forms
Demeo
An article was published by Demeo claiming the dismissal of the existence of Constable’s plasmatic forms. Demeo notes that he had tried to reproduce Constable’s anomalies himself by taking infrared photos within proximity to a working cloudbuster. Demeo admits, ‘something unusual did register on the film’ (4). He acknowledges that orgone fields from his cloudbuster did affect infrared films.
However, elsewhere, Demeo puts forward a second hypothesis concerning the anomalies – that they are just mechanical camera artefacts (5). Demeo then concludes that Collin’s claimed stereoscopic pictures of a bio-form type anomaly – see below (6), showing differences in each frame, completely dismissed Constable’s claims.
Collins
Collins is an esoteric writer based in the UK. He aimed to recreate the high energy situations used by Constable in the original bio-forms research by having people meditate in groups and concurrently using a small Reich cloudbuster. This was in England in 1993 and 1994. Alongside the meditations and small cloudbuster, Collins had physical parameters measured, such as Geiger radiation counts. Photography was undertaken to try and detect unusual occurrences during the meditation sessions. In particular, Collins wanted to use stereo photography to examine Constable’s claims.
The stereo adaptor (Pentax Stereo Adaptor, early 1990s model) that Demeo thought Collins used on a single camera is intended for making 3D pictures from analogue film. Perhaps a manufactured twin lens camera or multiple camera evidence may have been a more reliable method of taking two exposures of the same environment simultaneously. Part Two of this paper will present new multi-camera British evidence. Multi-camera evidence is also known to have been collected by Italian researchers although we have not been able to locate it as yet.
In the picture of his experimental camera set up published by Collins, no stereo adaptor is in evidence. Rather, two cameras appear to be linked by cable to what looks like a hand-held dual timer (7). It is possible that the stereo pictures were taken by hand, using a dual timer, on two cameras. Some aspects of the picture in question suggest that this was the case as will be argued shortly.
Collins published a claimed stereo image reportedly taken at the exact same time showing different anomalies in each half frame (8). Demeo reproduced this image, calling it a ‘definitive’ dismissal of Constable’s bio-forms (9).
The authors have doubts about Collin’s photographic technique. He does not specifically outline that the stereo photographs were taken with the equipment that Demeo describes. Demeo states, ‘the "sky critter" theory was eventually disproven definitively in an experiment…using a stereo image camera, which takes two photos of the same film frame, using two separate lenses on the same camera box’ (10).
Technical wording to this effect does not appear in Collin’s book. However, in another separate section of the book he does describe obtaining a stereo adaptor. It is this adaptor which Demeo describes and assumes that Collins used. The actual photograph by Collins is of poor quality and this alone should cause it to be rejected as central evidence, but in addition. there are doubts as to its veracity.
Collins published a frame showing the camera set up presumably used for the stereo photographs. Collins had two tripods and two cameras set up connected, as described previously, by what appears to be a hand-held timer, though this is not actually stated (11). There are two cameras on tripods at different heights, about 2 feet apart in width and 1 foot apart in height. Neither camera appears to have the stereo attachment described by Demeo. An analogue timer, such as appears to be in the frame, could result in a tiny split second differential between the two photographs. This would depend on the types of camera used and their individual response and focusing times when activated by a common trigger mechanism (12).
Figure 1 – Hayes’ Sketch of Collin’s Claimed Stereo Image
Above in Figure 1, a sketch is shown of the stereo photographs in question (13). The sketches are an accurate representation of the photographs, showing the position of key features such as the group of people meditating (bottom right) and their angle in relation to both the horizon, and the edge of the grassy area they are sitting on. The positions of the multiple dark anomalies can be seen in the sky above the meditating people in Figure 1 (B). However, there is just one anomaly in Figure 1 (A) in the sky nearer the trees. There is extensive dark smudging on the right hand side of (A) and also on the left hand side of (B).
The white arrows point to a noticeable difference in appearance concerning the shape of the tree branches in each frame. In (B) a definite bend can be seen in the branch, whereas in (A), this bend is not so apparent. This is probably the result of the branch being photographed at a slightly different angle in each shot, and could suggest that (A) was taken slightly further to the left of the tree than in (B), making the bend in the branch not so prominent in the photograph (due to the decreased angle of the shot).
It is also not clear that the position of the meditating people is exactly the same in each frame, the distance between them and the head and limb angles may not be exactly parallel. Attention is drawn to the position of the people meditating (highlighted by the purple arrows). Their position in relation to the right-hand side of the frame appears to change. In (A) there is a noticeable gap between the last person on the right meditating, and the actual right side edge of the picture. Yet in (B) the image of the people is cut off at the right-side edge. This shows that the centre point for each photograph may have been in a different place. It suggests that (A) was taken slightly further to the left than (B).
It can be clearly seen that the extreme left-hand side edge of (A) starts at the fourth tree to the left. Whereas in (B) the extreme left-hand side of the photograph continues further to the left of the fourth tree, but is ultimately obscured by the smudging. The trees also appear at slightly different angles and to be of slightly different sizes in the left and right frames. This suggests that one photograph was taken slightly further away. In (B) the image of the tree is cut off by the top of the photograph, whereas in (A) there is clearly a space above.
No reason is given why there is extensive smudging on the right side of (A) and the left side of (B). The environmental details of a stereo photograph should be identical on both sides and free of mechanically caused defects.
The anomalies themselves are poor grey blobs lacking in detail compared to work outlined in this paper yet they are presented as a centrepiece of evidence dismissing the bio-forms. It is not clear what exposure times and camera equipment had been used.
It is known from Hayes work (see Section 4) that the claimed bio-forms may be incredibly fast moving. According to Hayes’ approximate calculations, some bio-forms types may be travelling in the region of 140 mph (225 kph) and sometimes even faster. If there was even a tiny fraction of an instant between the shots being taken this could account for the anomaly differences in Collin’s frames. These types of phenomena are also known to blink in and out of the infrared in a fraction of a second, often only appearing in one shot when several are taken. One can see anomalies possibly moving from one frame to the other in one plate that Collins published (14). Also the anomalies seem to be in similar places in two further pictures which Collins does note (15). In Figure 1 above one can see that the anomaly marked, "A" could be the same anomaly in both frames but having moved several feet laterally within the exposure time.
There is also a stereo photograph published by Collins which does show the same images on each side of the stereo frames (16). However this is described as a ‘fluke’ (17). But the same level of evidence dismissing Constable is taken as throwing ‘severe’ doubt not only on Constable, but also on Boccone and Reich’s work (18). Reich’s photographic experiments (19) involving the blocking of light reactions on analogue plates, caused by strong localised orgone fields, is not in the same category of phenomena as Constable, Boccone and Hayes’ environmental photographs. It is closer to Nordenstrum’s biological work (20). Collins is incorrect to claim its dismissal; his work is not relevant to Reich’s photography. One would have to show that apparatus claimed to produce orgone concentrations does not affect photographic equipment kept within that apparatus in order to counter Reich’s claims. This has not been done.
In the applicable section it is noted that Collins does not mention the exact equipment, exposure times, camera types and environmental information pertaining to the claimed stereo photographs.
Lastly, Collins has evidence which strongly supports Constable’s claims. This is because Collins other experimental data contradicts Demeo’s mechanical artefact argument. Collins found that his anomalies, statistically, were concentrated in groups and were accompanied by rises in other data such as increased Geiger radiation counts (21). Collins also noted that his intentionally produced defects did not in any way mirror the many actual anomalies he saw, (over 70 experimental anomalies in a short period of time) (22). So the ‘air bells’ or ‘halations’ artefact explanations of Demeo concerns something which happens only very rarely, if at all, in the normal processing of films (23). Air bells or halations are gaps in the chemical processing caused by air bubbles on the paper occurring during development. They are rare, difficult to cause, and when they do occur, they do not have the same appearance as Collin’s or Constable’s anomalies (24).
Conclusion
Demeo found that orgone concentrations affected infra-red photography (25). This supports the contention, shared by Reich, that orgone energy concentrations can be photographed.
Collin’s evidence against Constable’s claims is inconclusive photographically. His other experimental data, such as anomaly clusters and Geiger counts are actually supportive of Constable’s claims. It evidences something happening in the environment at the time of the anomalies. Collins therefore rejected a mechanical camera artefact basis to the phenomena. Some energetic or non-local process is causing the photographic anomalies in his view.
3. US Evidence for Plasmatic Entities – from Constable
Constable’s first capture of a posited invisible bio-form in the infrared came on the morning of 25th Aug 1957. Whilst sitting down for breakfast at his desert campsite, he sensed an overpowering pulsation above, and saw what he describes as a, ‘shimmering variation to the otherwise smooth blue background.’ (26).
Using his loaded Leica camera, he proceeded to photograph the invisible pulsation as it moved above him. He managed to capture the object in six successive frames as it moved from overhead to positions that permitted inclusion of the local desert terrain in the photographs (See Figure 2).
Constable and Woods were also able to capture infrared movie footage of invisible bio-forms using a movie camera and infrared film. Five frames of this footage appeared in The Cosmic Pulse of Life (27). In these consecutive frames, taken at 24 frames per second, the bio-forms can be seen moving above Constable during his performance of the Star Exercise in the Mojave Desert just before sunrise. The bio-forms appear to be splitting, changing shape and position, and also seem at one point to divide like amoebae. Constable concluded through his work that such materialisations into the infrared occur as a response to certain positions, motions and orientations of the, ‘target human’ (28).
Both Constable and Woods continued with their photographic work for many years, capturing dozens of examples of possible invisible bio-forms, both at their desert site, and above Mount Wilson, California. Their many infrared photographs showed a wide range of different examples of spherical, cigar-shape, ovoid, and disc-like invisible plasmatic forms. Constable would later state that only 1% of the total infrared photographs (taken when he had detected possible bio-forms being present) actually yielded any results. It is painstaking work.
Constable carried on with his photographic work away from the desert site, renting an office space in North Hollywood, California, from where he would perform the necessary attraction process prior to taking the infrared photographs. He took several photographs showing both the invisible bio-forms and apparent craft-like objects right over the North Hollywood Business District. The proximity of hundreds of workers within a few blocks argues against the idea that these objects were normally visible. He continued on with his solo work until 1979, before finally retiring from investigating the bio-forms to concentrate on weather engineering. He eventually went on to develop a marine, cloudbuster based, weather engineering system, which was later demonstrated on commercial video.
Figure 2 – Plasmoidal Amoeba-like Bio-form
Above Figure 2 (A) shows the amoeba-like invisible possible bio-form photographed by Constable, on the morning of 25th August 1957, in the Mojave Desert, California. This was the first photograph taken by Constable as the bio-form moved immediately above his position, and was taken using a Leica G 35mm camera loaded with Kodak High-Speed infrared film, and fitted with an 870nm infrared pass filter. The bio-form has markings resembling nucleoli and vacuoles, and has the general appearance of a unicellular organism from the microscopic world (29)
Above Figure 2 (B) shows the fourth in the series of infrared photographs taken by Constable as the bio-form moved from immediately above his position, and off above the desert. This enabled him to capture known desert features in the photograph, as well as giving an indication as to its true size. Throughout the series of photographs taken by Constable of the possible life-form, it is quite evident that the object appeared to swell and expand in size as it moves in a pulsatory manner. Many of the characteristic markings apparent in Figure 2 (A) above, are also visible in the other successive photographs. This demonstrates morphological continuity and development over time (30).
Figure 3 – Plasmoidal Amoeba-like Bio-form, Further Shots
The above Figure 3 shows the last infrared photograph of the series taken by Constable of the cell-like form, and indicates that the object or entities photographed were possibly living creatures. The upper entity seems to be of the same order as the amoeba-like invisible bio-form captured in the previous photographs published by Constable, and as shown in Figure 2. The lower of the two objects in Figure 3 however appears slightly different in shape, with two eye-like features, a concave face, and a protuberance highly suggestive of a beak or bill (31).
Figure 4 – Trevor Constable Surrounded by Invisible Plasmoidal Bio-forms
The above Figure 4 shows Constable in the Mojave Desert at sunrise, surrounded by what appears to be invisible plasmoidal bio-forms. This photograph was taken at 1/25th sec by James Woods on 26th April 1958, at 5am, using high speed infrared film. Both Constable and Woods objectified and photographed the invisible bio-forms independently of each other, with each taking multiple images of the same event (32). That so many anomalies would appear at the same time and on multiple cameras makes it very unlikely to be mechanical artefacts. Problems with the artefact explanation have also been detailed in Section 2.
The bio-forms appear to be contracting and expanding as they move through the air, only registering on the infrared film because their particular energy is nullifying the film’s emulsions rather than actually reacting with the film as is the normal case. This lack of emulsion reaction has created dark voids on the photograph. Some lighter areas can also be seen that are a direct result of the bio-forms movement as they expand within the 1/25th second exposure. Constable, as well as Boccone also reported instances where the images of these objects had burned themselves directly onto the infrared film despite the camera shutter being closed; manifesting between frames, albeit with diminished intensity (33). This may indicate, from an orgonomic viewpoint, that the possible bio-forms could have a very high oranur charge. Oranur, as an excited state of orgone, could have an enhanced photographic effect over an ordinary concentration of orgone. The posited entities themselves, as possible living forms, would likely have a significantly raised level of orgone compared to the environmental background. Any excited state of orgone possessed by the entities would itself qualify as oranur, due to oranur being simply stimulated orgone. This possible oranur quality has been noted instrumentally with raised Geiger counts associated with the passing entities by both Hayes and the Boccone team (34). The Geiger counts may reflect excited orgone (oranur) converting or partially converting into particles, which are then picked up by the Geiger counter. There is a period of approximately one or two seconds where an oranur charge might precede the immediate field or appearance of the posited bio-forms. This charge then quickly tails off within approximately 1 to 3 seconds, with radiation levels quickly returning to their usual background levels (see below). Hayes has also experienced some instances where these sudden high peaks have lasted a mere fraction of a second. The alarm had indicated that radiation levels had momentarily reached or exceeded the 0.20 microSieverts per hour (μSv/hr) threshold but the reading on the Geiger counter display would be unaltered at background levels. This indicates that the increased radiation, though picked up by the Geiger counter alarm, was very fleeting.
In instances where invisible energetic phenomena have manifested very close to his position, Hayes has sometimes noted instantaneous high peaks of between 0.30 and 0.50 μSv/hr, which have remained constant for up to 10 seconds at a time. Occasionally, it has taken up to 30 seconds for radiation readings to return to the normal background levels of between 0.09 and 0.12 μSv/hr.
Figure 5 – Plasmoidal Bio-forms above Mt. Wilson, California.
The above Figure 5 shows a possible group of invisible plasmatic bio-forms photographed above the summit of Mt. Wilson, California, by Constable in January 1959 (35). Photograph was taken using a Praktica FX-2 camera in combination with high-speed infrared film, and exposure was 1/100th second. According to Constable, objects like these that pulsate and change their form when sporadically visible, account for numerous UFO reports.
The location is approximately one mile from the famous observatory where Dayton Miller strongly evidenced the existence of aether. For this remarkable scientific achievement he was not lauded but rather was expunged from history (aether is similar to cosmic orgone conceptually). See Demeo for further information on Miller (36).
Figure 6 – Ovoid Bio-forms: Part 1
The above Figure 6 (A) shows a possible invisible ovoid bio-form, photographed at the first light of dawn above the rocky ridge adjoining Giant Rock, California, on May 17th 1958. The photograph was taken using a Leica G camera with high-speed infrared film and no filter, and exposure was 1/50th second (37).
The above Figure 6 (B) shows an invisible ovoid bio-form in motion, photographed above the summit of Mount Wilson, California, shortly after sunrise on April 28th 1961. The photograph was taken using a Practika FX-2 camera with high-speed infrared film and no filter, and exposure was 1/50th second. (38).
This photograph is a good example of how objects like this, which probably carry very high orgonotic charges, reproduce on photographic prints in a reversed polarity. This gives an appearance of an absorptive image as in the above case. Such objects are nullifying the photographic emulsions rather than reacting with them as is the normal case.
Figure 7 – Ovoid Bio-forms: Part 2
The above Figure 7 (A) shows a posited invisible ovoid bio-form photographed at 1/1000th sec by Constable using high-speed infrared film, as it moved above the Los Angeles business district at noon during his early trials using an 18A pass filter. The 18A is designed to block the visible light spectrum, while passing both of its invisible ends namely, infrared and ultraviolet; Kodak high-speed infrared film is also sensitive in the UV region. Constable captured multiple infrared photographs showing ovoid-shaped invisible bio-forms during his work, and several of these, including the above photograph appear in the 2008 re-issue of Constable’s book, The Cosmic Pulse of Life (39).
The above Figure 7 (B) was taken by Constable’s 11 year old daughter Diana, who had accompanied him on a weather engineering cloudbusting operation out to Thousand Palms, California, in May 1975. Constable had trained her to objectify and take photographs using a more energetic or "aetheric" type of sight.
As he worked the cloudbuster she sensed and then photographed this invisible bio-form close to the cloudbuster pipes, using a half-frame Olympus camera loaded with high speed infrared film, and fitted with an 18A filter (40).
4. Italian Evidence for Orgonotic Bio-forms
Luciano Boccone was president of the Italian research group GRCU (Gruppo di Ricerche Clipeologiche ed Ufologiche) who were based in Arenzano, Italy, and consisted of some 25 members. The group began their work in 1976, and along with CUN Prato and GORU La Spezia were the third Italian UFO research group to begin instrumental research into the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and among the first to capture claimed entities direct from their invisible state. Boccone was also a member of CUN (Centro Ufologico Nazionale) Italy’s major centre for such studies, and a contributor to CUN’s official magazine, Notiziario UFO.
GRCU Research Methods
The GRCU used a wide range of standard, high quality scientific instruments such as Geiger counters, precision magnetic compasses, temperature indicators, frequency measurements (electromagnetic and light), light, ultrasound and ultraviolet detectors, as well as infrared, panchromatic, and colour films in sophisticated gun-cameras, and cameras fitted with focal distance doublers or telephoto lenses. Sometimes these cameras would be fitted with 25A, 87 or 89 filters, although most infrared photographs were taken with no filter.
Whenever the instruments warned of any sudden peaks in radioactivity and/or magnetic field, air, temperature, or luminosity, photographs would immediately be taken in the same direction in which the variations were detected. This simple procedure allowed them to objectify and photograph a whole range of invisible phenomena, not just in the sky, but also at much lower altitude, as well as at ground level, both day and night.
From the considerable experimentation done by the group over many years, it was found that manifestations pertaining to a possible invisible realm were objectified in most cases when the Geiger ionising radiation counter started reading and exceeding 0.20 milliRoentgens per hour (mR/hr) or about 2.0 μSv/hr equivalent – an unusually high peak reading for the normal background environment. Additionally, another sign was when the compass needle would deviate from the magnetic north, if only by a few degrees. Through the course of their work it was found that sudden high peaks in radiation levels were often accompanied by magnetic deviations. The levels of these fluctuations were on average between 10 – 15 degrees. Deviations of up to 50 degrees were also recorded by the group (41). In some cases where the researchers employed a temperature indicator in conjunction with the other devices (such as Geiger counters and a magnetic compass), a simultaneous rise in the local temperature of up to 5 degrees Celsius was found to coincide with the high radiation readings and magnetic deviations (42). This hitherto unacknowledged evidence indicates a very interesting cross confirmation of Reich’s orgone temperature experiments, termed TO-T for Temperature Orgone versus Temperature Control.
Dr Blasband overviews Reich’s T0-T studies and recounts further evidence in the following Journal of Orgonomy paper (43). Not only do orgone cabinets appear to increase thermal temperature but the presence of highly orgone charged posited entities also appears to have a similar effect.
Southgate has additionally confirmed, in recent experimentation, that concentrated oranur charge deflects magnetic needles and increases ambient temperature (44).
GRCU Evidence
The GRCU obtained a large catalogue of extensive and detailed photographic evidence documenting the presence of possible invisible plasmatic bio-forms, both in the sky, and at much lower altitude. In 1979 the GRCU released much of this photographic evidence in their report: The Invisible UFO Evidence: July 1977 – June 1979. This report was a condensation of their previous reports: UFO Report – 1977 and UFO Dossier-1978 plus selected files taken from their photographic work of 1979. This evidence consisted of 140 infrared, panchromatic, and colour photographs of the most significant, instrumentally-detected invisible phenomena captured by the group between 1977 and 1979.
In 1980 Boccone released the best of the above photographic evidence in his book UFO – La Realta Nascosta (UFO – The Hidden Reality) (45). This extremely rare publication also presents a whole range of photographic evidence gathered by not just the GRCU, but also from other sources including CUN Geneva, CUN Prato, and Romanian researcher Professor Florin Gheorghitza. The 142 page A4 sized book contains around 200 photographs, both colour and black and white, showing invisible, glowing, pulsating plasmatic forms, and amoeba-like possible life-forms, capable of changing shape, size, density, luminosity, arrangement and position in a split second. The authors have been fortunate to have access to this rare book.
Several infrared exposures captured by the Boccone team show the vivid, stark, pulsatory tracks made by apparently plasmatic forms as they traverse the skies at low altitude. In some instances the glow from the invisible objects can be seen illuminating the terrain over which they are moving. Others show plasmatic forms descending to street lamps, blinking at low altitude over the port of Genoa, or hovering above the Corigliano integrated steel plant of Italsider, adjacent to Cristoforo Colombo International Airport.
Night-time, time-lapse photography revealed seemingly plasmatic bird-like invisible forms, flying low in the sky above Arenzano, Italy, and a snake-like plasmoidal form moving at ground-level near a forest fire. Other photographs show fire-like invisible entities with antennae-like features, captured on colour infrared film as they appear to manifest just above the cameramen. Additional footage shows hexagonal-shaped light-forms, and plasmatic spheres etching their trails into the film’s emulsions as they move unseen across the night sky.
Figure 8 – Daytime Plasmatic Entity
The above Figure 8 shows a posited daytime plasmatic invisible body, photographed at very low altitude in the sky above Bangkok in 1979 using colour infrared film. The object, whose profile is almost identical to the "critters" (amoeba constabliani) first posited by Constable in the Mojave Desert back in the late 1950s, consists of an elongated ellipsoidal nucleus of dark black/brown colour, and its proto-plasmatic field is semi-transparent red and chrome yellow. The dirigible shape of the bio-form consists of an elongated ellipsoidal nucleus of a dark brown/black colour, and its proto-plasmatic field is semi-transparent red and chrome yellow. Much closer examination reveals that the bio-form’s movement has left a very light yellowish horizontal trail in the sky, suggestive of a shift of the body in the atmosphere from left to right (46).
Figure 9 – Plasmoidal Forms Multiplying
The above Figure 9 shows invisible plasmoidal forms manifesting from a ball of light. This 40 second exposure was taken in Italy on 29th October 1977, at 10.50pm, using black and white infrared film in combination with a 25A Vivitar infrared pass filter. The presence of these plasmoidal forms, which were some 40 metres away from the researchers when photographed, were objectified using a Geiger radiation counter, as well as a magnetic compass which showed a magnetic deviation of 10-15 degrees south east per 10 minutes (47).
Figure 10 – Plasmoidal Forms
Above Figure 10 shows possible plasmatic bio-forms photographed by the GRCU at their research base near Genoa, Italy. These blue and white plasmatic forms were captured using colour infrared film, on a January night in 1981, after their presence was detected by multiple instruments including Geiger counters, infrared and magnetic detectors, as well as a Swiss orgonotester instrument. This was an electrical orgone device developed by Dr Walter Stark and tested over some years by Dr Blasband. It claims to measure an orgonotic form of electrical current flowing in organisms and the atmosphere. Dr Stark called this a Motional Electrical Field or MEF and which, unlike other types of electrical field, and in similarity to orgone, is not able to be shielded (48). This has parallels to Russian torsion fields or to the "scalar" types of claimed quasi-electrical waves which are also said to be unable to be shielded. Orgone energy seems similar, not only to torsion fields, but also to the radiant energy discovered by the late Tesla (49).
Dozens of mutually corroborative photographs were taken using multiple cameras during the above incident. This strong photographic evidence shows multiple plasmoidal forms as they moved above the trees and began rolling down the hillside, skimming along the grass and among the researcher’s cars and equipment. This photograph did not appear in Boccone’s book, UFO – La Realta Nascosta, although it was later published in the 2008 re-issue of Constable’s book The Cosmic Pulse ofLife (50).
That this incident of life-like, moving and environmentally interactive multiple plasmatic forms was captured in significant detail and from a number of angles by more than one camera simultaneously indicates that the entities could be real and not artefacts produced within a single camera.
Figure 11 – Plasmoidal Bio-Forms Hovering above Blast Furnace
Above Figure 11 shows a large group of possible invisible plasmoidal bio-forms hovering above the integrated steel plant of Italsider at Genoa-Corigliano, Italy, on August 19th 1977, at 10.30pm. A member of Boccone’s GRCU group took this 40 second time-lapse exposure using unfiltered infrared film, despite the fact that nothing was visible at the time. The photograph gives the impression that the bio-forms are drawing upon the massive energy of the blast furnace, which is adjacent to the Cristoforo Colombo International Airport. The GRCU photographic record documents many instances of such behaviour, especially the attachment of these bio-forms to street lamps and similar energetic focal points (51).
Additional Romanian Evidence for Bio-forms
Romanian engineer and professor Florin Gheorghitza took numerous infrared photographs of possible invisible bio-forms during his work in the late 1970s in Romania. Although Gheorghitza was an acquaintance of Boccone’s, his photographic work in a similar vein was independent of the Italian research group. It provides further evidence that reveals the possible reality of invisible plasmoidal bio-forms, not just in the skies, but also at ground level.
Figure 12 – Huge Glowing Plasmoidal Entity
Above Figure 12 shows a plasmoidal bio-form photographed using high-speed infrared film by Prof. Florin Gheorghitza near Cluj-Napoca in Romania, in September 1977. The huge size of this bio-form can be judged from the adjacent road circling left of the object. The glow emanating from the form can be seen illuminating both the road, as well as parts of the terrain where the object is positioned. This night-time photograph appeared in Boccone (52) and also in Constable(53). The intriguing infrared image points to the possible orgonotic nature of the invisible bio-form evident from the glowing radiation. It also captures the immense size that some of these entities may reach.
Summary of US and European Evidence
The photographic, instrumentally based documentation presented in Boccone’s book (54) positively confirms Constables, and Woods’ earlier photographic evidence. The photographs of invisible plasmoidal forms are practically identical in shape, size, and density to the specimens captured in the Mojave Desert. Other evidence captured by the other Italian research groups, CUN Geneva, and CUN Prato, as well as by Romanian Professor Gheorghitza (55) also supports the presence of orgonotic bio-forms in the atmosphere.
That these various researchers captured similar plasmatic forms, independently of each other, and at different times and locations not only in the USA, but in Italy, and Romania, is worthwhile evidence. These objects were repeatedly picked up by multiple instrumental detections, including Geiger radiation counters, magnetic compasses, thermometers and light detectors, prior to the infrared photographs being taken. Therefore the idea that they are merely artefacts or smudges on the photographs is not supported.
There appears to be broad, detailed, single and multiple camera photographic evidence of the existence of the claimed invisible bio-forms. There is in addition radiological and environmental evidence of a simultaneous energy peak from the Italian researchers. The movement, behaviour and morphology of the entities appear to follow set patterns. Altogether this does suggest that the anomalies could be real.

Nik Hayes
Nik Hayes is a UK based author and researcher. He first became interested in photographing invisible energetic phenomena after a low altitude encounter with a large, strange, visibly pulsating object on Christmas day, 2008. Unable to find a satisfactory explanation of what he had seen, he eventually discovered the work of Trevor James Constable, through his books The Cosmic Pulse of Life and They Live in the Sky (1).It was through this that he became aware of the work of the Italian research group, the GRCU, as well as Luciano Boccone’s rare book, UFO-La Realta Nascosta (2).
Influenced by this earlier work, Hayes began a quest to gather his own photographic evidence of invisible energetic phenomena. After designating a research area on some land adjacent to his house situated in countryside near Oxford, he constructed a cloudbuster, and began using infrared photography and movie footage. He spent much of the first year concentrating on the infrared part of the spectrum, but within a short time was also recording ultraviolet footage. He also used a Geiger radiation counter for energy peak detection purposes. Geiger counters are known to be reactive to orgone charge.
In 2011 Hayes created the Quest for the Invisibles (QFTI) YouTube channel, on which he uploaded videos of the various phenomena he had captured using infrared and ultraviolet recording equipment.
Hayes continued with his photographic work right through until the late summer of 2015, at which point he began compiling his research notes and photographic evidence into what would be published as Quest for the Invisibles by The Book Tree, California (3). Shortly after the publication of the book Hayes started the Quest for the Invisibles website (4). After the launch of the site Hayes began what would eventually form a two year photographic investigation into invisible night-time phenomena. He managed to photograph a whole range of apparently invisible phenomenon, not just in the skies, but also at a much lower altitude. Hayes has been interviewed on UK and internet radio and regularly gives talks about his work.

Leon Southgate MSc
From a family of psychotherapists and teachers I was introduced to orgonomy at a young age. As an adult my interest was rekindled, doing an MSc research degree in Chinese medicine and orgonomy. In 2002, a double blind, placebo controlled study was completed (N = 72). It confirmed an effect from orgone devices upon acupuncture (P = 0.03). An article about the study was published in the European Journal of Oriental Medicine in 2003. The theoretical side of the study outlined dozens of new parallels. It was later published as a book by German publishers LAP.
Southgate started an orgonomic PhD but the access to laboratory work became difficult so the project ended but a comprehensive (though not complete) Annotated Literature Review of the Post-Reich Journals was written and made available for free online.
Southgate is focused on examining orgone and its relationship to consciousness.
