In December 1943, Army medical student George Ritchie developed double lobar pneumonia with 106.5°F fever. He collapsed during an X-ray and was found unresponsive with no pulse. Declared dead, a sheet was pulled over his face and he was prepared for the morgue. Nine minutes later, an orderly noticed his hand had moved slightly and convinced the doctor to inject adrenaline directly into his heart, reviving him. During those nine minutes, George had an extraordinary NDE. He traveled at incredible speed across the country, stopping at a cafe in Vicksburg, Mississippi - a town he'd never visited. He tried to ask a man for directions but his hand passed through him. George encountered a being of light who showed him his life review and multiple spiritual realms including hellish regions where earthbound spirits tried to possess the living, and a magnificent celestial city with a vast library. Years later, when driving through Vicksburg for the first time, George recognized the exact cafe from his NDE - white building, red roof, Pabst Blue Ribbon sign in the window, and the specific telephone pole with guy wire he'd tried to lean on. In 1952, he saw a Life magazine drawing of a massive sphere with men working inside - identical to what he'd seen in the spiritual realm in 1943. The article revealed it was a prototype atomic submarine engine, technology that didn't exist until eight years after his NDE. These verifications confirmed he had genuinely visited a real location and witnessed future technology during clinical death.
