(STARpod.org) -- In the shadow of recent warnings from the leaders of the United States Intelligence Community, including CIA Director Leon Panetta and Director of Central Intelligence Dennis C. Blair, multiple 'psychic' sources using various forms of 'anomalous mental phenomena' have provided a disturbing palette of terror scenarios.

Leaders of the Intelligence Community reported to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that another attack inside of the United States is "certain."

In the past year, a select number of psychic sources have been surfing the leading edge of the recent wave of terror incidents.

Although information sourced from "anomalous mental phenomena," the Defense Intelligence Agency term for mentally obtained information, is very much a hit and miss affair, psychic information can be useful in generating threat scenarios: "active imagination" may not be actionable, but offers the potential benefit of intuitively uncovering threats that may otherwise have been overlooked by conventional methods.

[For an example of official psychic spy operations, see the DIA spy effort against the Russian stealth aircraft program.]

The events of September 11, 2001, are a case in point: U.S. government psychic sources warned of the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction against Washington D.C., beginning in late 1983. A few years later, additional details suggested there would be a massive simultaneous attack from the air against targets in New York City and Washington, including the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol Building or the White House. One source even reported that newspapers described the collapse of a building, following a large airborne object passing through the structure.

The above, found within documents released by the CIA, are in sharp contrast to official claims that no one could have imagined terrorists would use airplanes as missiles.

Recent terror events have inspired a great deal of new concerns.

Non-specific psychic alerts have included the Fort Hood shooting, and recent hotel bombings in Iraq, which was posted two days in advance on Twitter, by dream-psychic Chris Robinson.

[As always, a disclaimer: USM/AMP psychic sources are known to be wrong more often that they are correct.

Although we are not at liberty to provide any specific details on other potential threats, where they may or may not be available, here are a few possibilities:

In the summer of 2009, psychic sources noted a change in strategy: new tactics were being prepared, to provide individuals the ability to make hit and run attacks with little or no warning. Within months, several plots, notably the alleged backpack bomb plot in New York City, seemed to confirm this prediction.

Hit and run tactics were also predicted to include paramilitary style shootings, as later occurred at Fort Hood.

Psychic data claimed these were not isolated incidents, but reflected a new tactic of loosely organized individual attacks.

After many weeks, the U.S. intelligence community and the White House came to the same conclusion.

Among many predictions made in early Fall 2009: highly advanced weapon systems are being test simulated by computer software; more sophisticated time delayed or remote controlled explosive devices; liquid filled explosives used to ignite a powdery substance (which was realized in the Christmas Day attack); the smuggling of common chemicals, one component at a time, by individuals, who later produce a weapon from mixing the components together; and a new threat to use biological agents.

World-wide, groups are becoming loosely organized, although differences of opinion still divide them concerning operational details: some seek immediate retribution, whereas others prefer to patiently develop deadlier means of inflicting massive damage.

Backpack bombs remain a popular option, within various plots to inflict localized attacks on foot, by bicycle, or in motorized vehicles using remote control. An enhanced version includes the use of multiple rapid sequence attacks to distract security forces from second or third wave penetration of heavily guarded secure locations.

A warning of an increasing threat to air travel appeared in the psychic data in late November, with recommendations to focus on "machine tests" to enhance security.

In the first few days of December, the psychic data noted information of new threats was being withheld from the public by government officials. The concerns were connected to large scale attacks included major metropolitan areas during peak "holiday traffic levels."

Comments included "air strikes" and "shock," "awesome," "crushing blow to defeat," concerning a pre-dawn air raid  -- later it was learned that the United States had been involved in supporting preemptive air strikes against suspected terror camps in Yemen.

In the UK, a prediction of failure or a possible attack against public rail transportation appears to have been partly correct, with unusual interruptions of train service.

Terror attempts have typically focused on New York City and Washington, D.C.

Psychic data suggests this may be changing, with other major metropolitan areas at risk for a surprise "bolt from the blue" attack. Among the communities considered at risk: Detroit, Michigan, the location of the Christmas Day bomb attempt on Flight 253.

High profile business and banking industry targets, including Wall Street, are considered to be more attractive given the recent economic instability. Targets may include highly placed individuals as well as institutions. Mail bombs remain a possibility.

What about the next 9/11?

Although a future massive attack seems a more distant possibility, it is worth considering where some of the risks lie. Past experience also suggests psychic sources may confuse real events with existing threat scenarios, or even popular film and television stories.

A river has been associated with a massive urban plot to detonate multiple Oklahoma City sized truck bombs, perhaps concealed on rail cars, sending billowing black toxic fumes above the skyline of a major metropolitan center.

At risk: subway systems, tunnels, and river crossings.

Another threat may return: the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction. Recently a warning was allegedly passed from India's intelligence service to the United Kingdom: possible targets may include landmark historic buildings in London.

In addition to multiple massive truck-sized bombs against a major urban center, there may be a new variation on the 2007 plot to destroy JFK airport: a "Mubai-style" no-hostages taken paramilitary suicide assault on airport facilities, including massive destruction of fully fueled aircraft on the ground.

The risk of a terror group smuggling stolen weapons of mass destruction into the United States is real.

A nuclear bomb detonation at the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, was the subject of a Rand study a few years ago.

Concerns remain about the ability of detection equipment and personnel to prevent the entry of weapons of mass destruction into the United States, concealed in a shipping container.

A recent assessment of the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction concluded the most likely attack involves the use of biological weapons.

Recent psychic data, associated with the Christmas Day attempt, also identified biological weapons as a real but non-specific threat of immediate concern across the intelligence community.

Days after the Christmas Day attack, President Obama signed an Executive Order to utilize the Postal Service in the event of a biological attack.
