None of that stuff in Kecksburg really happened. But that is a matter for another thread.
As far as Rendlesham is concerned, the objects that Halt described cannot have moved overhead, because he almost immediately afterwards describes them (on the tape) as only moving slightly. The movements he appears to remember do not seem to have happened in the way he remembers them. We have a wide range of potential reasons for this; the magnification and distortion caused by the starlight scope is most important, but autokinesis is also a factor.

You should not confuse the ability to 'affect' someone's mind with the ability to 'control' them. Lots of technologies exist which allow an experimenter to affect a subject's mind; drugs, sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, stress; none of these have precisely predictable effects, so we can't honestly call this mind control. A more accurate description would be irresponsible tampering with a subject's mental state with unpredictable results.
And telepathy is a myth, I'm sorry to say.
