Is Ingo Swann’s Cult Classic ‘Penetration’ a Homoerotic Allegory?

The famed ‘Father of Remote Viewing’ probably intended to show that gay folks played a significant role in the bizarre world of ‘black-ops’ & secret government UFO research

More than 10 years ago (in 2012), I published a review of Ingo Swann’s now cult classic book, Penetration. He originally self-published it in 1998 after it was roundly rejected by every publisher he submitted it to.

My review has garnered almost 87,000 reads over the past decade.

I received a certain amount of blowback from the review because I argued that Swann wrote the book with a subtle but obvious (to me) “wink-and-a-nod” motivation — and that he intended his story to be as much an allegory laced with numerous “hidden meanings” as it was a sensational true story.

But what was really controversial is that I concluded that Penetration was meant to be “a homoerotic allegory.”

Note that the dictionary defines allegory as:

“A story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning.”

You are going to read that original review just below in a bit.
