DECEMBER 29, 1969 – In an effort to stop smoking, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a session with hypnotists Hamrick & Leonard. Dr. Don Hamrick was a San Francisco-based therapist who claimed to have made contact with extraterrestrials in Norway and wanted the Beatles to help promote communications between them and humans. Lennon had been introduced to Hamrick by Yoko’s ex-husband Tony Cox who lived in Norway.
