Celebrity performer whose alleged psychic abilities became intertwined with UFO claims and intelligence lore. Promoted narratives about extraterrestrials, remote viewing, and anomalous influence. A long-running, highly disputed figure at the boundary of entertainment, paranormal belief, and ufology.
