Sheldan Nidle was born in New York City on Nov. 11, 1946, and grew up in Buffalo, New York.....Sheldan received an M.A. in Political Science from the University at Buffalo in 1968. He also received an M.A. in Southeast Asian Government from Ohio University in 1970 and an M.A. in American Politics and International Public Administration from the University of Southern California, where he also pursued a Ph.D. program (1974-76). In the 1970s, he was Vice-President for Scientific Programming at Syntar Productions,

Those are good places to start to check his authenticity, if his name is not known to those institutes Its not his real name. :D Or he was never there.

Also check the background of the publishing companies he uses, these may be self published and therefore could all be his own companies under different trading names, you can then find out about those companies/company/subsiduaries in case it has his name on the director lists.

One interesting point to note is the Blue Lodge pr name.

Blue lodges are typically associated with 3rd degree masonry and blue lodges are masonic houses.

Just thought I would add that in there out of interest.

Within Freemasonry, the color blue is a symbol of universal friendship and benevolence, as it is the color of the vault of heaven. Blue is the only color other than white which should be used in a Master's Lodge for decorations. Within the Blue Lodge are conferred the Craft Degrees. These Masonic rituals represent three degrees which are taken in sequence. First, the Entered Apprentice Degree, second, the Fellow Craft Degree and finally, the Master Mason Degree.

Who the fuck is Miles Simons? I guess you could call him and ask.

Say: "Yo, my name is Muertos. I love metal. Who the fuck are you?"

Miles Simons

Miles is a saxophonist, improviser, composer, music producer and graphic designer who lives in Vancouver, Canada.
He began performing professionally in his teens. He has performed for live audiences across the U.S.A. and Canada. A multi-faceted musician, Miles has played rock, pop jazz, blues, bop, and rhythm and blues.

More recently, he has concentrated on his own music, an eclectic blend of classical, folk and jazz with ethnic overtones. Miles is a totally improvisational musician who believes that music must be artistic, sensual and healing.

He seems to be doing pretty well at it considering where he lives.

Or doing well at something.

Maybe he does some kind of bullshit New Age therapy for a living. He's living in the right place for it.

Wow, it reads like Nanos except with aliens and the whole going to school thing.

Maybe if teaching history doesn't work out for me I should go into the UFO CT business.

Quote from Muertos

Does anyone know anything substantive about Sheldan Nidle, the whacked-out nutbar who runs the infamous "Planetary Action Organization" (http://www.paoweb.com )? This is the guy who insists we'll be invaded by benevolent aliens from Sirius any day now.

Such as, is that his real name? How did he get into the CT business? (It is a business, he's selling books on alien contact for $20 a pop). All I know is that he won a Pigasus Award for predicting the end of the world in 1996 as a result of the "Photon Belt" nonsense that was hot about that time, but he seems, like Patrick Bellringer (a/k/a Emil Mulhausen), one of those very shadowy CT's who carefully manages what information is known about him.

I've done Google searches but all I come up with are voluminous links to his bullshit sites and people shilling his bullshit sites, and the occasional reference to the Photon Belt stuff.

Just wonder if anyone has debunked this moron or if a debunking of this Sirius stuff exists.

I've been interested in him as well and read a good deal of the messages he's produced through the PAO since 1997.

A lot of discrepancies cropped up over the years. One common traits with some cults is
a) prediction of disasters/destruction. He wrote that the Earth would be destroyed in 1995 and we'd be saved by millions of alien spaceships
b) the event fails to occur
c) a message is issued explaining we have been saved by an unseen force via unseen means producing unnoticeable effects.

I'm working on a full list at the moment.

Other things I'm investigating:

a) "In the 1970s, he was Vice-President for Scientific Programming at Syntar Productions, where he co-created a documentary on the life and accomplishments of Nikola Tesla."

I found no trace of Syntar production elsewhere than on pages related to SN. I'm searching for documentaries on Tesla produced in this period.

b) What's with "Vice-President for Scientific Programming". Even at major production companies, I have no knowledge of titles of (vice) President for the various areas they cover. Ok, I've just googled "Vice-President for Scientific Programming". Guess who's the only human being on earth with the title?

c) From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, he was involved in scientific research on alternative sources of electrical energy.

Where at? In what field(s) exactly? Did he discover anything worth mentioning?
