Integratron Me
by T. Delaplain
“It is my sincere hope that you enjoyed the TED talk and our walk through the electrostatic arc. I expect you to feel renewed and invigorated from your resonance sound experience. Mr. Tassel, having recently returned from outer space will be available to answer all questions concerning cellular rejuvenation and immortality. It’s safe to say having returned to us posthumously that he can be considered an expert in his field.
All participants will receive the usual probe before leaving the geomagnetic fields, so please loosen your undergarments. In conclusion, never underestimate Integratron’s multi-frequency electrostatic charger for the human body, which Van and I can personally attest to, will leave you with youthful vigor. Go forth, be vigorous, maybe consider extra fiber and a stool softener for a few days post probing and give generously to our time travel fund. Please don’t hesitate to donate over and above our usual and customary bargain fee of ten thousand dollars. The men in black are ready to receive you now.”
Call me a believer this is what Pegman and I saw in the sky above the remains of George Van Tassel’s Integratron.
And these are photos circa 1950’s with the same cloud. Coincidence? I think Not!

Take a walk with Pegman around Lander California. What do you see? Write about it and share. The challenge can be found here.
Great historical piece. The videos on the integratron website are really cool too.

Would we call it historical or hysteria genre? Thanks for the prompt. I’ve been tripping around Mexico looking for a Pegman site.

Naturally, what caught my attention was the probing. After all, isn’t that what aliens are famous for? Let’s hope they don’t have fingers the size of summer sausage. 🙂

Naturally, and don’t discount your fascination with undergarments.

Haha, great take Tracey, more enjoyable for ignoring the politics of today you were contemplating. Are we sure aliens and probes aren’t behind the next president’s unlikely victory?

Dear Tracey,
This is certainly what the doctor ordered. I need a laugh. Thank you for prescribing the humor pills. Love the history and the hysteria.
Shalom,

Oh, boy. After all that probing, I bet they can’t wait to see what the men in black will do to them. Fun story!

I enjoyed the dry “this is the way it is” tone of this piece.

It’s interesting because the only reference I can find to Van Tassel’s death is that it occurred suddenly when he was 67 years old, which isn’t all that old. Maybe like Elvis, he didn’t die. He just returned home.

Mm mhmm Just as I’ve said.

“in splits”? Laughing or doing gymnastics? Either is fine. I don’t judge. Thanks Neel.
