March 22, 1998: Gulf Breeze UFO - Linda Moulton Howe | See Auras in 60 Seconds - Mark Smith
Linda also covers an alarming fish disease spreading from Florida to South America, with scientists suspecting a Pfiesteria-related microorganism. She warns that El Nino conditions may worsen outbreaks. The episode then shifts as author Mark Smith joins to teach listeners how to see auras with the naked eye in 60 seconds.
Smith explains that the aura is a measurable energy field surrounding the body, with voltages up to 80 volts recorded at the Menninger Institute. Using peripheral vision and a white background, he walks listeners through a simple technique, reporting that up to 90 percent of first-time viewers see the same colors around the same subject. Smith connects the aura to the soul and describes how illness can appear in the field before physical symptoms surface, and shares the story of watching his mother's aura disintegrate hours before her death.
Key Moments
Don Rash: lens-shaped silver craft over Bob Sykes Bridge: Tallahassee Tool Company employee Don Rash, on the line live with Linda Moulton Howe from the Gulf Breeze conference, describes his March 2, 1998 daylight sighting: returning home over the Bob Sykes Bridge after dropping his daughter at work on Pensacola Beach, he looked up into a cloudless sky and watched a silver lens-shaped object cross right to left, tilt onto its side, and vanish in an instant.
Mark Smith on what an aura actually is: Mark Smith, author of 'Auras: See Them in Only 60 Seconds,' tells Bell flatly that no camera can photograph an aura - what Kirlian devices capture is atmospheric ionization, not the field itself - and reframes auras as the visible manifestation of the soul, an electromechanical effect any unaided eye can be trained to see in seconds.
