Eden, Jerome (1925-1989)

Writer on UFO phenomena who claims to have observed UFOs on several occasions and has interpreted them in light of the orgone energy theories of Wilhelm Reich. Eden was born August 23, 1925, in New York City. He studied at New York University (B.A.) and Columbia University (M.A.). He served in World War II and the Korean War, later becoming managing editor of the American Water Works Association Journal, the city and military editor of the Idaho Falls Post Register, and the director of the Eastern Idaho Special Services Agency. He also edited and published the Eden Bulletin.

In 1971 he claimed he suffered severe conjunctivitis and high fever following observation of a beam of light from a UFO. His 25-year study of UFOs led him to believe that they are responsible for drought conditions on Earth. His conclusions are in line with those of the later work of Wilhelm Reich in the field of weather changing (cloud busting ) and flying saucers. Eden himself was registered with Idaho's Department of Agriculture as a weather modification operator. He has experimented with a cloud-busting apparatus similar to one described by Wilhelm Reich.

He founded the PPCC (Planetary Professional Citizens Committee), which is concerned with the problem of UFOs in relation to the development of global deserts, and publishes the quarterly PPCC Bulletin (which superseded the Eden Bulletin ).

Eden died on January 18, 1989.
