MANAGING EDITORIAL

Hello and welcome to our March 2014 issue As you may have heard the mainstream news channels have been flooded in regards the missing flight MH370 and due to regular changing stories as to what exactly happened to the jet the conspiracies theories have been plentiful I have received a lot of e‐mail this month about this incident people claiming the most ridiculous things Sohellip I thought it might be a good idea to put an article together in regards what the mainstream news channels have said and provide some details in regards the alleged conspir‐acy and even the strange and weird conclusions some people have come up with Though its looking rather grim with little chance of discovering the passengers and crew safe and well we hope they arehellip Also in this issue some fascinating ideas from Steve Myers in regards how the Egyptian pyramids may have been built A personal favourite of mine

Its been a bit of a crazy month with all the lectures Irsquove been doing Neil McDonald of Megalithic Tours once again put a fantastic event together with some great speakers One of which was our good friend Dan Monroe aka (Dan The Man ‐ from Planet X Radio) It was great to see him and catch up Also Sam Wright pulled another amazing conference out of his hat I was lucky enough to see Brian Allanrsquos lecture on UFOs It was a well presented and thoroughly researched topic that touched on alternative theories to many UFO sightings and incidents suggesting the use of secret government exotic aircraft An amazing talk well worth seeing A trip to Truthjuice Liverpool was also executed Myself and Prophetic Seer Steve Johnson took to the stand A truly amazing individual that not only blew me away but also those he presented his lecture to A few more lectures planned throughout April including Birmingham UFO Group on April 17th and The UFO Truth Magazine Conference in August Details of both can be found in this issuehellip Enjoy

EDITORIAL Well as you can see we are now sending out the magazine slightly differently but only to ensure that EVERYONE receives their copy (and hopefully forwards it along to their friends and asks them to do the same) Anyway that out of the way you might recall a couple of months back I wrote an editorial about the phenomenon of synchronicity and what had happened to me twice in two days well it happened again For no good reason I picked up and started re‐reading a book from my collection called lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo which is written by a American researcher called David Wilcock The following day I received a review book that I had not even requested written by the same author and the title lsquoThe Synchronic‐ity Keyrsquo You just could not make it up and itrsquos a sure sign that the Cosmic Joker is alive and well and communicating with me in his own peculiar fashion

Oh and BTW the review is in this edition of the mag One more thing and its important this edition of Phenomena is probably the last time that we will send out the magazine as an attachment it takes too long to do and also we know that some of you do not receive it because your ISP will not allow large files like that After this issue we will still compile and distribute the magazine but this time we will send you a link and you can download it for yourselves This means that more of you will have access to it The only thing we ask is as always PLEASE forward the link to any of your friends you think might like to share in the magazine We are currently getting approx 15 million downloads per year and we would like to beat that Also donrsquot forget that we love to hear about your paranormal and UFO encounters so send them in to either Steve or myself

The year 2012 with its unfulfilled end time prophesies has come and gone Yet one undeniable change 2012 ushered in has been the accelerated interest in the Great Pyramid of Giza Even with all the recent discoveries and research centered on this ancient wonder the Great Pyramid is still shrouded in more controversy then it has ever been Every aspect of this structure is under heated debate including how it was built why it was built when it was built and who built it This controversy is caused pri‐marily because the science of Egyptology has failed miserably in adequately explaining and demonstrating the pivotal technical requirements of how this ancient structure was created Egyptology has also failed to offer a convincing explanation for why the Great Pyramid exists Although Egyptology is considered a science it does not engage in the scientific method in regards to the technical requirements needed to build a stone pyramid the height of 45 stories The idea that a ramp was used to build the Great Pyramid is simply a hope‐ful notion offered by a science that cannot prove its ideas with demonstrative evidence Egyptology has never moved a heavy stone around the corner of a spiral ramp Egyptol‐ogy has never created a precision cut casing stone Egyptology has never moved a pay‐load the weight of the heaviest stones found in the Great Pyramid even one inch Accord‐ing to Egyptologists peasants and other laborers could accomplish these and other important construction procedures on a daily basis yet for Egyptologists these tasks are an impossibility That in itself is very telling evidence in regards to the validity of their stories There are many competing alternative theo‐ries of how and why the Great Pyramid was built This article focus on one direction of research which concentrates on the techni‐cal requirements necessary to build this monument This alternative theory de‐scribes in detail how the stones were moved and set in place to build mankindrsquos greatest ancient wonder

This alternative explanation of how the Great Pyramid was built is consistent with the direct physical evidence and gives glory and honor to the ancient geniuses who built their masterpiece of construction This al‐ternative explanation was first proposed by Edward Kunkel in his landmark book Phar‐aohrsquos Pump This direction of research Kunkel pioneered has been further devel‐oped and expanded in the book Lost Tech‐nologies of the Great Pyramid So put aside all preconceived notions about the Great Pyramid and allow yourself the opportunity to become familiar with how the Great Pyra‐mid was really built This abbreviated explanation will highlight the major steps in constructing the Great Pyramid The first activities on the Giza plateau was to prepare the bedrock by mak‐ing it extremely flat under the location where the first layer of casing stones will be placed The outcropping of stone in the center of the construction site was not re‐moved A wall was built around the building site Portions of this wall existed up until the 18 century Early drawings of the Great Pyramid often depict this wall Water was supplied to the construction site at the Giza plateau from the ancient Lake Moeris The Original Builders also con‐structed a series of water locks from the Nile river to the wall around the building site on the Giza plateau A water lock is simply a section of a canal that has doors on pivots Water locks allow barges to move between a lower section of a canal and a higher sec‐tion of a canal These water locks were simi‐lar to those used in the Erie Canal Water supplied to the Giza plateau was allowed to

fill the water locks and the area impounded by the wall around the building site

Figure 1 A water lock was built into the wall of casing stones This allowed barges to travel from the water impounded by the wall around the Great Pyramid up into the water impounded by the first layer of casing stones Casing stones on barges for the second level were brought from the Nile river up through the water locks between the Nile river and the building site Then the barges travel up into the pond impounded by the first layer of casing stones This pond is waist deep The barge moving into the pond is located where the next higher water lock will be built Excavation of the subterranean chamber and associated passages cut into the bed‐rock were also activities which were com‐pleted before the Great Pyramid was as‐sembled These passages were built as planed and served a purpose These cut‐tings deep beneath where the Great Pyra‐mid will soon be built functioned as a huge water pump Some modern‐day research‐ers have suggested this massive subterra‐nean water pump is similar to a hydraulic ram water pump The reality is the

The Pyramids

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid‐shaped masonry structures located in Egypt There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008 Most were alleg‐edly built as tombs for the countrys Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara northwest of Memphis The earliest among these is the Pyra‐mid of Djoser (allegedly con‐structed 2630 BCEndash2611 BCE) which was built during the third dynasty This pyramid and its surrounding complex were allegedly designed by the architect Imhotep and are generally consid‐ered to be the worlds oldest monumental structures con‐structed of dressed masonry

subterranean water pump is more sophisti‐cated and efficient than any modern hydrau‐lic ram water pump The output of this water pump is up through the passage in the mound the Great Pyramid was built over This water pump supplied water for the construction process and for the water locks The detailed and fascinat‐ing explanation of how this water pump operated will require its own article All of these preparations allowed the Original Builderrsquos systematic construction procedure to began The next step of the construction process was simple and straightforward The preci‐sion cut paving stones on barges were brought up the water locks from the Nile river and set in place on the bedrock The paving stones provided an extremely precise foundation for the first layer of casing stones Next the first layer of casing stones that will be placed on the paving stones were brought from the Nile river on barges up to the building site using the water locks The first level of casing stones were set in place on top of the paving stones and bonded together watertight making what looked like a square wall Built into the cas‐ing stones was a water lock Now that the first layer of casing stones have been set in place and bonded together the next step of this fascinating construction procedure was about to begin

Figure 2 From a birdrsquos eye view the second layer of the Great Pyramid is nearing com‐pletion The second water lock built into the casing stones allows stones on barges to enter the pond where construction takes place The barge just entering the pond is where the third water lock will be built The pond is being filled in with the second layer of rough cut interior stones The third layer of casing stones has been set in place and the bonding agent between these stones is curing Water to keep the pound full is sup‐plied by the subterranean water pump Itrsquos output is up through the passage in the mound in the center of the construction site This water kept the pond full and supplied water for the water locks The pond is only

waist deep Workers can wade in the pond walking on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place The area impounded by the first layer of casing stones was filled with water using the subterranean water pump Filling the area impounded by the first layer of casing stones created a square pond on the Giza plateau This square pond was higher than the pond impounded by the wall around the building site The water lock built into the first layer of casing stones allowed barges loaded with additional stones to be brought from the Nile river up the series of water locks and into the pond impounded by the casing stones The next stones brought up were the second layer of casing stones These stones were brought up and set in place on top of the first layer of casing stones While the watertight bonding agent was allowed to cure on the second layer of casing stones the rough cut interior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were brought up on barges from the Nile These rough cut stones on barges were moved up into the pond impounded by the first layer of casing stones As soon as all of the rough cut inte‐rior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were moved off the barges and set in place into the pond then the first layer of the Great Pyramid was completed The next step of the construction process was to construct a water lock in the second layer of casing stones This water lock was built so that stone laden barges were able to travel up the first water lock built into the first layer of casing stones and then directly into the second water lock built into the second layer of casing stones These two water locks built to work in series is called a flight of water locks

Figure 3 The Great Pyramid was built level by level Water locks were incorporated into the casing stones These water locks are like rectangular boxes which are built into the wall of casing stones Each water lock ldquoboxrdquo is resting on top of casing stones on a lower level The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to be easily moved up into the pond where the construction occurred

The pond is only waist deep Workers can walk in the pond standing on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place Now it was time to add additional water into the area impounded by the second layer of casing stones using the subterra‐nean water pump This caused the water level of the pond to rise almost to the height of the top of the second layer of casing stones The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to travel up through both water locks in series and into the pond impounded by the second layer of casing stones At this time the third layer of casing stones for the next higher level were brought up and set in place As the bonding agent cured on the third layer of casing stones the second layer of rough cut interior stones on barges were brought up the water locks These stone laden barges were moved up into the pond and then moved to where the stone will be placed Workers then moved the stone off the barge and lowered it directly into the pond and placed it where it will stay for eternity When the process of moving the second layer of rough cut interior stones from the barges and into the pond was finished then the second layer of the Great Pyramid was completed

Figure 4 This cutaway view shows the process the rough cut interior stones were moved from a barge and into the pond The large boat is a stylized depiction of the two so‐called solar barges or sun boats found on the Giza Plateau (A) Workers walk to the front of the boat crane and a rope is attached to the rough cut interior stone (B) Workers walk to the back of the boat which causes the boat to pivot

The Pyramids

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza on the out‐skirts of Cairo

Several of the Giza pyramids are

counted among the largest struc‐tures ever built The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is

the largest Egyp‐tian pyramid It is the only one of the Seven Won‐ders of the An‐

cient World still in existence

The shape of Egyptian pyramids

is thought to represent the

primordial mound from which the

Egyptians believed the earth was created The

shape of a pyra‐mid is thought to be representative of the descending

rays of the sun and most pyra‐

mids were faced with polished

highly reflective white limestone in order to give them a brilliant

appearance when viewed from a

distance Pyramids were often also named in ways that referred to solar lumines‐

thereby raising the 2 12 ton stone off of the barge (C) After the empty barge is moved out of the way the floating boat crane is positioned by workers in the waist deep pond so that the stone is directly above its final resting place Then the workers on the boat crane walked towards the bow which causes the boat crane to pivot in the water This causes the rough cut interior stone to be lowered into the pond and placed at its final destination This systematic process continued level by level The casing stones for the next higher level were set in place and bonded together watertight Next the rough cut interior stones for the level under construction were set in place There are two reasons why the casing stones for the next higher level were set in place before the rough cut interior stones were set in place for the level under construction The first reason for this order of construction is it allowed time for the bonding agent between the casing stones to cure which created a watertight seal be‐tween the joints The other reason is if the rough cut interior stones were set in place filling the pond with rough cut stones the barges loaded with the next level of casing stones would not be able to move through the pond because the pond would be filled with rough cut stones The use of water locks is efficient fast and powerful When built the Erie Canal was 45 feet deep yet the barges had a capacity to carry 70 tons of payload In two years the Erie Canal moved more tonnage in freight than the weight of the Great Pyramid Re‐search indicates a barge with stone would easily travel from the Nile river to the build‐ing site in a very short time With barges in each water lock a barge with one or more stones would have been delivered to the pond at a rate of every few minutes Using water locks this process continued 24 hours a day The use of water locks is rather sim‐ple but quite sophisticated It is also consis‐tent with the direct physical evidence The joints between the casing stones are water tight not to keep the Egyptian rain out or the Pharaohrsquos soul from symbolically leaking out but to keep water in during the con‐struction process

This systematic construction procedure con‐tinued as the Great Pyramid rose higher and higher The Great Pyramid was built level by level Each level was finished then the level above it was finished As construction pro‐gressed the pond on top of the Great Pyra‐mid became smaller and smaller while the series of water locks on the north face grew longer and longer But as construction pro‐gressed the speed of construction appeared faster and faster because each level was progressivity smaller which required less material to finish as construction continued The pond always stayed about waist deep as this fascinating and systematic construction process progressed Water locks are generally placed in pairs allowing the movement of vessels in both directions of a canal at the same time This is true in the Panama Canal the Saint Law‐rence Seaway and most other canals using water locks Extensive research conducted at the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) supports the conten‐tion that there was only one flight of water locks In other words water locks were only used to move stones on barges up to the pond where the assembly was taking place This greatly simplified the construction proc‐ess and greatly improved water efficiency The question this elicits is what was done with the empty barges that were up on the pond after the stones were removed De‐tailed analysis indicates the empty barges were moved over the casing stone wall and then lowered by rope to the pond im‐pounded by the wall surrounding the Great Pyramid construction site Then the empty barges were moved down the causeway and back into the Nile river This provided a fast and efficient method of returning the empty barges to the Nile river

Figure 5 (A) The barge with casing stone is moved between two stone supports The casing stone protrudes past the sides of the barge (B) Then water is allowed to enter the barge which lowers it This causes the casing stone to come to rest on the two support stones The barge is still floating between the supports but it is riding very low in the water That is why it is hard to see in the center panel (C) Then the par‐tially flooded barge is moved from between the two supports The unloaded barge with water in it is moved to the edge of the pond The use of water locks and barges was a powerful and extremely versatile method of moving heavy payloads Stone laden barges were able to easily transport their payloads right to where they will be placed Special‐ized barges and systematic procedures were used to move the stones off of barges and place the stones at their final destina‐tion The Great Pyramid consists of three basic sizes of stones The vast majority of the Great Pyramid is composed of rough cut interior stones which weigh about 2 12 tons The casing stones vary in size but do not exceed the weight of approximately 16 tons The Great Pyramid also contains a few dozen massive stones weighing in at fifty to seventy tons each These basic sizes of stones dictated different methods to move the stones from barges to their final resting place The relatively small 2 12 ton rough cut interior stones were moved from the barges using boats called sun ships These boats were utilized as floating cranes Workers walked towards the front of the ship which lowered the bow A rough cut interior stone was attached to a rope con‐nected to the high prow of the floating crane Then the workers walked to the back of the boat which lifted the stone from the barge Workers wading in the waist deep pond moved the empty barge out of the way while other workers guided the floating sun ship acting as a floating crane to the proper location Then the workers on the sun ship walked towards the front of

The Pyramids While it is gener‐ally agreed that pyramids were burial monu‐ments there is continued dis‐agreement on the particular theo‐logical principles that might have given rise to them One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of resurrection machine

The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens One of the narrow shafts that ex‐tends from the main burial cham‐ber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the de‐ceased pharaohs soul directly into the abode of the gods

All Egyptian pyra‐mids were built on the west bank of the Nile which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology Wikipedia

the floating crane lowering the stone down directly into the pond to its final resting place This process was fast powerful and extremely accurate in moving the rough cut interior stones The casing stones some as large as 16 tons were also on barges which traveled from the Nile river up to the building site and onto the pond impounded by casing stones The massive size of casing stones meant that they were not simply pulled up a mega‐ramp and then set in place using brute force To move and place these stones with extreme precision with a bonding agent between the joints and with no handling scars cannot be done using manpower alone It is not possi‐ble for ancient people and it is impossible for Egyptologists Neither group possessed back muscles with adequate strength Larger stones such as the casing stones re‐quired a different procedure to set them in their final resting place The Original Build‐ers used very specialized methods to move the casing stones They were brilliant in manipulating barges and used buoyancy to quickly move and place millions of tons of stones Their methods were ingenious and sophisticated When a casing stone was on a barge it pro‐truded beyond each side of the barge The barge loaded with a casing stone moved between two stone supports in the pond Water would then be allowed to enter the barge which would lower the barge into the pond This would cause the casing stone to come to rest on the two supports The barge which is not completely full of water is moved to the side of the pond The water in the barge is then siphoned out of the barge over the side of the pond This fast effi‐cient and powerful system is how a large casing stone was moved off of the barge This process took only minutes to complete

Figure 6 Water is removed from the barge by siphoning it out over the edge of the waist deep pond The siphon hose is full of water and the upper end is inserted into the barge The lower end of the siphon hose has a valve which is operated using linkage

When the valve is opened water is quickly and easily removed from the barge At that point a specialized barge was at‐tached to the casing stone The barge was already partially filled with water making it float low in the pond When this specialized barge was attached to the casing stone water was siphoned out of the barge and over the side of the pond This raised the barge and caused the casing stone to be lifted off the two supports Then workers wading in the waist deep pond directed the specialized barge and casing stone to the edge of the pond Effortlessly the workers position the barge so that the casing stone is just above its final resting place on top of the wall which impounded the waist deep pond So far the process did not require any of the workers to have big back muscles The next step was to move the stone from the barge to its final resting place First a large mound of bonding agent was applied on top of the wall where the casing stone will soon be placed as well as to the vertical surface of the previously placed casing stone This will result in a water tight seal in all the casing stone joints The next step was accomplished by allowing water to en‐ter the specialized barge causing the barge to slowly lower into the pond When this happens the casing stone is lowered onto the top of the mound of bonding agent This thick mound of bonding agent allowed time for the workers to quickly remove the ropes and rigging holding the casing stone to the specialized barge As the casing stone settled on the mound of bonding material workers used other types of specialized barges to quickly maneuver the heavy casing stone the last few inches to its final resting place The exact details of this final maneuvering process is explained in the book Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid This fast and efficient method would have taken only minutes to set and place each of the large precision cut casing stones This fast and systematic process continued level by level until the pond became smaller and smaller During construction of the upper portion of the Great Pyramid the pond would have been too small for the sun ships acting as floating cranes In that there are smaller boat pits on the Giza Plateau it is reasonable to contend smaller boat cranes were also used in the final stages of con‐struction Ultimately the capstone (if there was one) was moved on a barge up the wa‐ter locks to its final resting place crowning mankindrsquos first wonder of the ancient world

But with the capstone in place the con‐struction process was not completed

Figure 7 While the casing stone rested on the supports it was attached to a special‐ized barge The specialized barge was already partially filled with water which caused it to float low in the water A sleeve is placed on the sharp front edge of the casing stone as well as on the top edge This allowed the casing stone to be secured to the barge with ropes without damaging the casing stone or the ropes Water was siphoned out from the specialized barge and over the wall This caused the special‐ized barge to rise thereby lifting the casing stone off of the supports The specialized barge has two compartments One com‐partment in the front the other in the rear of the barge The compartment in the rear is filled with water as ballast to counterbal‐ance the weight of the casing stone The process is reversed when the casing stones is placed on top of the wall of casing stones Next the flight of water locks which were built into the casing stones were no longer needed and were removed Starting from the top the water locks were removed one by one and replaced with rough fill and a smooth covering to match the casing stones When the water locks were re‐moved this ancient wonder had the stark ultramodern utilitarian unadorned exte‐rior we all envision it had when the casing stones were still in place How fascinating it is that this description of the construction process is similar to what Herodotus wrote He said that the Great Pyramid was built level by level using ma‐chines with short wooden planks The doors on water locks are made of short wooden planks Herodotus also wrote that the Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up but finished from the top down The Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up and removing the water locks from

The Pyramids

Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known

as the Great Pyramid and the

Pyramid of Cheops) the

somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren) the relatively modest‐sized Pyramid of

Menkaure (or Mykerinus) along with a number of smaller satellite

edifices known as Queens pyra‐mids and the Great Sphinx

Of the three only Khafres pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu

pyramid by virtue of its more ele‐vated location and the steeper angle of inclina‐tion of its con‐

struction ndash it is in fact smaller in both height and

volume

The Giza Necropo‐lis has been a

popular tourist destination since

antiquity and was popularised in

Hellenistic times when the Great

Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Won‐

ders of the World Today it is the only

one of those wonders still in

existence

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine reveals the reason why the Great Pyramid was built Discarding the un‐workable explana‐tions offered by Egyptology Steven Myers provides a detailed and com‐pelling explanation

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

Transcending the fables and misin‐formation of mod‐ern Egyptology this book provides a detailed descrip‐tion of how the Great Pyramid was really built New discoveries of lost technologies used to build this mas‐sive wonder are

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

WHAT IF LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN IN OUTER SPACE

Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago bringing with them technology that drastically af‐fected the course of history and our own development Originally presented in Erich von Daniken s 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods the theory of ancient aliens rocked our accepted notions of mankind s natural evolution From the age of dinosaurs to ancient Egypt from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the United States each episode in this series gives historic depth to the questions speculations provocative controversies first‐hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding an age‐old debate did intelligent forms from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago Do they visit us now Ancient Aliens launches expeditions to seek out and evaluate the original evidence concentrating on discoveries from the past 30 years It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true but many agree cannot be ignored Together for the first time all 15 fascinating episodes of seasons 1 and 2 Produced with the exclusive co‐operation of von Daniken himself

Gold trinkets were found in an area covering Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 CE but since they are made from gold accurate dating is impossible and based essentially on stratigraphy which may be deceptive However we can safely say that these gold objects are more than 1000 years old

The ruins of Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco The others three structures are The Aka‐

pana Pyramid the Kalasasaya Platform and the Subterranean Temple Even with modern day technology and information these

structures defy logic and confound those who seek to solve the mysteries that lie within them The ruins of Puma Punku are said

to be the most fascinating and most confusing of all

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

Earth Language By Stephen Wakefield

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

How the Pyramids were BuiltBy Steven Myers

Page 2 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

The year 2012 with its unfulfilled end time prophesies has come and gone Yet one undeniable change 2012 ushered in has been the accelerated interest in the Great Pyramid of Giza Even with all the recent discoveries and research centered on this ancient wonder the Great Pyramid is still shrouded in more controversy then it has ever been Every aspect of this structure is under heated debate including how it was built why it was built when it was built and who built it This controversy is caused pri‐marily because the science of Egyptology has failed miserably in adequately explaining and demonstrating the pivotal technical requirements of how this ancient structure was created Egyptology has also failed to offer a convincing explanation for why the Great Pyramid exists Although Egyptology is considered a science it does not engage in the scientific method in regards to the technical requirements needed to build a stone pyramid the height of 45 stories The idea that a ramp was used to build the Great Pyramid is simply a hope‐ful notion offered by a science that cannot prove its ideas with demonstrative evidence Egyptology has never moved a heavy stone around the corner of a spiral ramp Egyptol‐ogy has never created a precision cut casing stone Egyptology has never moved a pay‐load the weight of the heaviest stones found in the Great Pyramid even one inch Accord‐ing to Egyptologists peasants and other laborers could accomplish these and other important construction procedures on a daily basis yet for Egyptologists these tasks are an impossibility That in itself is very telling evidence in regards to the validity of their stories There are many competing alternative theo‐ries of how and why the Great Pyramid was built This article focus on one direction of research which concentrates on the techni‐cal requirements necessary to build this monument This alternative theory de‐scribes in detail how the stones were moved and set in place to build mankindrsquos greatest ancient wonder

This alternative explanation of how the Great Pyramid was built is consistent with the direct physical evidence and gives glory and honor to the ancient geniuses who built their masterpiece of construction This al‐ternative explanation was first proposed by Edward Kunkel in his landmark book Phar‐aohrsquos Pump This direction of research Kunkel pioneered has been further devel‐oped and expanded in the book Lost Tech‐nologies of the Great Pyramid So put aside all preconceived notions about the Great Pyramid and allow yourself the opportunity to become familiar with how the Great Pyra‐mid was really built This abbreviated explanation will highlight the major steps in constructing the Great Pyramid The first activities on the Giza plateau was to prepare the bedrock by mak‐ing it extremely flat under the location where the first layer of casing stones will be placed The outcropping of stone in the center of the construction site was not re‐moved A wall was built around the building site Portions of this wall existed up until the 18 century Early drawings of the Great Pyramid often depict this wall Water was supplied to the construction site at the Giza plateau from the ancient Lake Moeris The Original Builders also con‐structed a series of water locks from the Nile river to the wall around the building site on the Giza plateau A water lock is simply a section of a canal that has doors on pivots Water locks allow barges to move between a lower section of a canal and a higher sec‐tion of a canal These water locks were simi‐lar to those used in the Erie Canal Water supplied to the Giza plateau was allowed to

fill the water locks and the area impounded by the wall around the building site

Figure 1 A water lock was built into the wall of casing stones This allowed barges to travel from the water impounded by the wall around the Great Pyramid up into the water impounded by the first layer of casing stones Casing stones on barges for the second level were brought from the Nile river up through the water locks between the Nile river and the building site Then the barges travel up into the pond impounded by the first layer of casing stones This pond is waist deep The barge moving into the pond is located where the next higher water lock will be built Excavation of the subterranean chamber and associated passages cut into the bed‐rock were also activities which were com‐pleted before the Great Pyramid was as‐sembled These passages were built as planed and served a purpose These cut‐tings deep beneath where the Great Pyra‐mid will soon be built functioned as a huge water pump Some modern‐day research‐ers have suggested this massive subterra‐nean water pump is similar to a hydraulic ram water pump The reality is the

The Pyramids

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid‐shaped masonry structures located in Egypt There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008 Most were alleg‐edly built as tombs for the countrys Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara northwest of Memphis The earliest among these is the Pyra‐mid of Djoser (allegedly con‐structed 2630 BCEndash2611 BCE) which was built during the third dynasty This pyramid and its surrounding complex were allegedly designed by the architect Imhotep and are generally consid‐ered to be the worlds oldest monumental structures con‐structed of dressed masonry

subterranean water pump is more sophisti‐cated and efficient than any modern hydrau‐lic ram water pump The output of this water pump is up through the passage in the mound the Great Pyramid was built over This water pump supplied water for the construction process and for the water locks The detailed and fascinat‐ing explanation of how this water pump operated will require its own article All of these preparations allowed the Original Builderrsquos systematic construction procedure to began The next step of the construction process was simple and straightforward The preci‐sion cut paving stones on barges were brought up the water locks from the Nile river and set in place on the bedrock The paving stones provided an extremely precise foundation for the first layer of casing stones Next the first layer of casing stones that will be placed on the paving stones were brought from the Nile river on barges up to the building site using the water locks The first level of casing stones were set in place on top of the paving stones and bonded together watertight making what looked like a square wall Built into the cas‐ing stones was a water lock Now that the first layer of casing stones have been set in place and bonded together the next step of this fascinating construction procedure was about to begin

Figure 2 From a birdrsquos eye view the second layer of the Great Pyramid is nearing com‐pletion The second water lock built into the casing stones allows stones on barges to enter the pond where construction takes place The barge just entering the pond is where the third water lock will be built The pond is being filled in with the second layer of rough cut interior stones The third layer of casing stones has been set in place and the bonding agent between these stones is curing Water to keep the pound full is sup‐plied by the subterranean water pump Itrsquos output is up through the passage in the mound in the center of the construction site This water kept the pond full and supplied water for the water locks The pond is only

waist deep Workers can wade in the pond walking on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place The area impounded by the first layer of casing stones was filled with water using the subterranean water pump Filling the area impounded by the first layer of casing stones created a square pond on the Giza plateau This square pond was higher than the pond impounded by the wall around the building site The water lock built into the first layer of casing stones allowed barges loaded with additional stones to be brought from the Nile river up the series of water locks and into the pond impounded by the casing stones The next stones brought up were the second layer of casing stones These stones were brought up and set in place on top of the first layer of casing stones While the watertight bonding agent was allowed to cure on the second layer of casing stones the rough cut interior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were brought up on barges from the Nile These rough cut stones on barges were moved up into the pond impounded by the first layer of casing stones As soon as all of the rough cut inte‐rior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were moved off the barges and set in place into the pond then the first layer of the Great Pyramid was completed The next step of the construction process was to construct a water lock in the second layer of casing stones This water lock was built so that stone laden barges were able to travel up the first water lock built into the first layer of casing stones and then directly into the second water lock built into the second layer of casing stones These two water locks built to work in series is called a flight of water locks

Figure 3 The Great Pyramid was built level by level Water locks were incorporated into the casing stones These water locks are like rectangular boxes which are built into the wall of casing stones Each water lock ldquoboxrdquo is resting on top of casing stones on a lower level The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to be easily moved up into the pond where the construction occurred

The pond is only waist deep Workers can walk in the pond standing on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place Now it was time to add additional water into the area impounded by the second layer of casing stones using the subterra‐nean water pump This caused the water level of the pond to rise almost to the height of the top of the second layer of casing stones The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to travel up through both water locks in series and into the pond impounded by the second layer of casing stones At this time the third layer of casing stones for the next higher level were brought up and set in place As the bonding agent cured on the third layer of casing stones the second layer of rough cut interior stones on barges were brought up the water locks These stone laden barges were moved up into the pond and then moved to where the stone will be placed Workers then moved the stone off the barge and lowered it directly into the pond and placed it where it will stay for eternity When the process of moving the second layer of rough cut interior stones from the barges and into the pond was finished then the second layer of the Great Pyramid was completed

Figure 4 This cutaway view shows the process the rough cut interior stones were moved from a barge and into the pond The large boat is a stylized depiction of the two so‐called solar barges or sun boats found on the Giza Plateau (A) Workers walk to the front of the boat crane and a rope is attached to the rough cut interior stone (B) Workers walk to the back of the boat which causes the boat to pivot

The Pyramids

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza on the out‐skirts of Cairo

Several of the Giza pyramids are

counted among the largest struc‐tures ever built The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is

the largest Egyp‐tian pyramid It is the only one of the Seven Won‐ders of the An‐

cient World still in existence

The shape of Egyptian pyramids

is thought to represent the

primordial mound from which the

Egyptians believed the earth was created The

shape of a pyra‐mid is thought to be representative of the descending

rays of the sun and most pyra‐

mids were faced with polished

highly reflective white limestone in order to give them a brilliant

appearance when viewed from a

distance Pyramids were often also named in ways that referred to solar lumines‐

thereby raising the 2 12 ton stone off of the barge (C) After the empty barge is moved out of the way the floating boat crane is positioned by workers in the waist deep pond so that the stone is directly above its final resting place Then the workers on the boat crane walked towards the bow which causes the boat crane to pivot in the water This causes the rough cut interior stone to be lowered into the pond and placed at its final destination This systematic process continued level by level The casing stones for the next higher level were set in place and bonded together watertight Next the rough cut interior stones for the level under construction were set in place There are two reasons why the casing stones for the next higher level were set in place before the rough cut interior stones were set in place for the level under construction The first reason for this order of construction is it allowed time for the bonding agent between the casing stones to cure which created a watertight seal be‐tween the joints The other reason is if the rough cut interior stones were set in place filling the pond with rough cut stones the barges loaded with the next level of casing stones would not be able to move through the pond because the pond would be filled with rough cut stones The use of water locks is efficient fast and powerful When built the Erie Canal was 45 feet deep yet the barges had a capacity to carry 70 tons of payload In two years the Erie Canal moved more tonnage in freight than the weight of the Great Pyramid Re‐search indicates a barge with stone would easily travel from the Nile river to the build‐ing site in a very short time With barges in each water lock a barge with one or more stones would have been delivered to the pond at a rate of every few minutes Using water locks this process continued 24 hours a day The use of water locks is rather sim‐ple but quite sophisticated It is also consis‐tent with the direct physical evidence The joints between the casing stones are water tight not to keep the Egyptian rain out or the Pharaohrsquos soul from symbolically leaking out but to keep water in during the con‐struction process

This systematic construction procedure con‐tinued as the Great Pyramid rose higher and higher The Great Pyramid was built level by level Each level was finished then the level above it was finished As construction pro‐gressed the pond on top of the Great Pyra‐mid became smaller and smaller while the series of water locks on the north face grew longer and longer But as construction pro‐gressed the speed of construction appeared faster and faster because each level was progressivity smaller which required less material to finish as construction continued The pond always stayed about waist deep as this fascinating and systematic construction process progressed Water locks are generally placed in pairs allowing the movement of vessels in both directions of a canal at the same time This is true in the Panama Canal the Saint Law‐rence Seaway and most other canals using water locks Extensive research conducted at the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) supports the conten‐tion that there was only one flight of water locks In other words water locks were only used to move stones on barges up to the pond where the assembly was taking place This greatly simplified the construction proc‐ess and greatly improved water efficiency The question this elicits is what was done with the empty barges that were up on the pond after the stones were removed De‐tailed analysis indicates the empty barges were moved over the casing stone wall and then lowered by rope to the pond im‐pounded by the wall surrounding the Great Pyramid construction site Then the empty barges were moved down the causeway and back into the Nile river This provided a fast and efficient method of returning the empty barges to the Nile river

Figure 5 (A) The barge with casing stone is moved between two stone supports The casing stone protrudes past the sides of the barge (B) Then water is allowed to enter the barge which lowers it This causes the casing stone to come to rest on the two support stones The barge is still floating between the supports but it is riding very low in the water That is why it is hard to see in the center panel (C) Then the par‐tially flooded barge is moved from between the two supports The unloaded barge with water in it is moved to the edge of the pond The use of water locks and barges was a powerful and extremely versatile method of moving heavy payloads Stone laden barges were able to easily transport their payloads right to where they will be placed Special‐ized barges and systematic procedures were used to move the stones off of barges and place the stones at their final destina‐tion The Great Pyramid consists of three basic sizes of stones The vast majority of the Great Pyramid is composed of rough cut interior stones which weigh about 2 12 tons The casing stones vary in size but do not exceed the weight of approximately 16 tons The Great Pyramid also contains a few dozen massive stones weighing in at fifty to seventy tons each These basic sizes of stones dictated different methods to move the stones from barges to their final resting place The relatively small 2 12 ton rough cut interior stones were moved from the barges using boats called sun ships These boats were utilized as floating cranes Workers walked towards the front of the ship which lowered the bow A rough cut interior stone was attached to a rope con‐nected to the high prow of the floating crane Then the workers walked to the back of the boat which lifted the stone from the barge Workers wading in the waist deep pond moved the empty barge out of the way while other workers guided the floating sun ship acting as a floating crane to the proper location Then the workers on the sun ship walked towards the front of

The Pyramids While it is gener‐ally agreed that pyramids were burial monu‐ments there is continued dis‐agreement on the particular theo‐logical principles that might have given rise to them One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of resurrection machine

The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens One of the narrow shafts that ex‐tends from the main burial cham‐ber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the de‐ceased pharaohs soul directly into the abode of the gods

All Egyptian pyra‐mids were built on the west bank of the Nile which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology Wikipedia

the floating crane lowering the stone down directly into the pond to its final resting place This process was fast powerful and extremely accurate in moving the rough cut interior stones The casing stones some as large as 16 tons were also on barges which traveled from the Nile river up to the building site and onto the pond impounded by casing stones The massive size of casing stones meant that they were not simply pulled up a mega‐ramp and then set in place using brute force To move and place these stones with extreme precision with a bonding agent between the joints and with no handling scars cannot be done using manpower alone It is not possi‐ble for ancient people and it is impossible for Egyptologists Neither group possessed back muscles with adequate strength Larger stones such as the casing stones re‐quired a different procedure to set them in their final resting place The Original Build‐ers used very specialized methods to move the casing stones They were brilliant in manipulating barges and used buoyancy to quickly move and place millions of tons of stones Their methods were ingenious and sophisticated When a casing stone was on a barge it pro‐truded beyond each side of the barge The barge loaded with a casing stone moved between two stone supports in the pond Water would then be allowed to enter the barge which would lower the barge into the pond This would cause the casing stone to come to rest on the two supports The barge which is not completely full of water is moved to the side of the pond The water in the barge is then siphoned out of the barge over the side of the pond This fast effi‐cient and powerful system is how a large casing stone was moved off of the barge This process took only minutes to complete

Figure 6 Water is removed from the barge by siphoning it out over the edge of the waist deep pond The siphon hose is full of water and the upper end is inserted into the barge The lower end of the siphon hose has a valve which is operated using linkage

When the valve is opened water is quickly and easily removed from the barge At that point a specialized barge was at‐tached to the casing stone The barge was already partially filled with water making it float low in the pond When this specialized barge was attached to the casing stone water was siphoned out of the barge and over the side of the pond This raised the barge and caused the casing stone to be lifted off the two supports Then workers wading in the waist deep pond directed the specialized barge and casing stone to the edge of the pond Effortlessly the workers position the barge so that the casing stone is just above its final resting place on top of the wall which impounded the waist deep pond So far the process did not require any of the workers to have big back muscles The next step was to move the stone from the barge to its final resting place First a large mound of bonding agent was applied on top of the wall where the casing stone will soon be placed as well as to the vertical surface of the previously placed casing stone This will result in a water tight seal in all the casing stone joints The next step was accomplished by allowing water to en‐ter the specialized barge causing the barge to slowly lower into the pond When this happens the casing stone is lowered onto the top of the mound of bonding agent This thick mound of bonding agent allowed time for the workers to quickly remove the ropes and rigging holding the casing stone to the specialized barge As the casing stone settled on the mound of bonding material workers used other types of specialized barges to quickly maneuver the heavy casing stone the last few inches to its final resting place The exact details of this final maneuvering process is explained in the book Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid This fast and efficient method would have taken only minutes to set and place each of the large precision cut casing stones This fast and systematic process continued level by level until the pond became smaller and smaller During construction of the upper portion of the Great Pyramid the pond would have been too small for the sun ships acting as floating cranes In that there are smaller boat pits on the Giza Plateau it is reasonable to contend smaller boat cranes were also used in the final stages of con‐struction Ultimately the capstone (if there was one) was moved on a barge up the wa‐ter locks to its final resting place crowning mankindrsquos first wonder of the ancient world

But with the capstone in place the con‐struction process was not completed

Figure 7 While the casing stone rested on the supports it was attached to a special‐ized barge The specialized barge was already partially filled with water which caused it to float low in the water A sleeve is placed on the sharp front edge of the casing stone as well as on the top edge This allowed the casing stone to be secured to the barge with ropes without damaging the casing stone or the ropes Water was siphoned out from the specialized barge and over the wall This caused the special‐ized barge to rise thereby lifting the casing stone off of the supports The specialized barge has two compartments One com‐partment in the front the other in the rear of the barge The compartment in the rear is filled with water as ballast to counterbal‐ance the weight of the casing stone The process is reversed when the casing stones is placed on top of the wall of casing stones Next the flight of water locks which were built into the casing stones were no longer needed and were removed Starting from the top the water locks were removed one by one and replaced with rough fill and a smooth covering to match the casing stones When the water locks were re‐moved this ancient wonder had the stark ultramodern utilitarian unadorned exte‐rior we all envision it had when the casing stones were still in place How fascinating it is that this description of the construction process is similar to what Herodotus wrote He said that the Great Pyramid was built level by level using ma‐chines with short wooden planks The doors on water locks are made of short wooden planks Herodotus also wrote that the Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up but finished from the top down The Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up and removing the water locks from

The Pyramids

Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known

as the Great Pyramid and the

Pyramid of Cheops) the

somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren) the relatively modest‐sized Pyramid of

Menkaure (or Mykerinus) along with a number of smaller satellite

edifices known as Queens pyra‐mids and the Great Sphinx

Of the three only Khafres pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu

pyramid by virtue of its more ele‐vated location and the steeper angle of inclina‐tion of its con‐

struction ndash it is in fact smaller in both height and

volume

The Giza Necropo‐lis has been a

popular tourist destination since

antiquity and was popularised in

Hellenistic times when the Great

Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Won‐

ders of the World Today it is the only

one of those wonders still in

existence

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

How the Pyramids were Built By Steven Myers

Page 3 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

subterranean water pump is more sophisti‐cated and efficient than any modern hydrau‐lic ram water pump The output of this water pump is up through the passage in the mound the Great Pyramid was built over This water pump supplied water for the construction process and for the water locks The detailed and fascinat‐ing explanation of how this water pump operated will require its own article All of these preparations allowed the Original Builderrsquos systematic construction procedure to began The next step of the construction process was simple and straightforward The preci‐sion cut paving stones on barges were brought up the water locks from the Nile river and set in place on the bedrock The paving stones provided an extremely precise foundation for the first layer of casing stones Next the first layer of casing stones that will be placed on the paving stones were brought from the Nile river on barges up to the building site using the water locks The first level of casing stones were set in place on top of the paving stones and bonded together watertight making what looked like a square wall Built into the cas‐ing stones was a water lock Now that the first layer of casing stones have been set in place and bonded together the next step of this fascinating construction procedure was about to begin

Figure 2 From a birdrsquos eye view the second layer of the Great Pyramid is nearing com‐pletion The second water lock built into the casing stones allows stones on barges to enter the pond where construction takes place The barge just entering the pond is where the third water lock will be built The pond is being filled in with the second layer of rough cut interior stones The third layer of casing stones has been set in place and the bonding agent between these stones is curing Water to keep the pound full is sup‐plied by the subterranean water pump Itrsquos output is up through the passage in the mound in the center of the construction site This water kept the pond full and supplied water for the water locks The pond is only

waist deep Workers can wade in the pond walking on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place The area impounded by the first layer of casing stones was filled with water using the subterranean water pump Filling the area impounded by the first layer of casing stones created a square pond on the Giza plateau This square pond was higher than the pond impounded by the wall around the building site The water lock built into the first layer of casing stones allowed barges loaded with additional stones to be brought from the Nile river up the series of water locks and into the pond impounded by the casing stones The next stones brought up were the second layer of casing stones These stones were brought up and set in place on top of the first layer of casing stones While the watertight bonding agent was allowed to cure on the second layer of casing stones the rough cut interior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were brought up on barges from the Nile These rough cut stones on barges were moved up into the pond impounded by the first layer of casing stones As soon as all of the rough cut inte‐rior stones for the first level of the Great Pyramid were moved off the barges and set in place into the pond then the first layer of the Great Pyramid was completed The next step of the construction process was to construct a water lock in the second layer of casing stones This water lock was built so that stone laden barges were able to travel up the first water lock built into the first layer of casing stones and then directly into the second water lock built into the second layer of casing stones These two water locks built to work in series is called a flight of water locks

Figure 3 The Great Pyramid was built level by level Water locks were incorporated into the casing stones These water locks are like rectangular boxes which are built into the wall of casing stones Each water lock ldquoboxrdquo is resting on top of casing stones on a lower level The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to be easily moved up into the pond where the construction occurred

The pond is only waist deep Workers can walk in the pond standing on the rough cut stones that have already been set in place Now it was time to add additional water into the area impounded by the second layer of casing stones using the subterra‐nean water pump This caused the water level of the pond to rise almost to the height of the top of the second layer of casing stones The flight of water locks allow stones on barges to travel up through both water locks in series and into the pond impounded by the second layer of casing stones At this time the third layer of casing stones for the next higher level were brought up and set in place As the bonding agent cured on the third layer of casing stones the second layer of rough cut interior stones on barges were brought up the water locks These stone laden barges were moved up into the pond and then moved to where the stone will be placed Workers then moved the stone off the barge and lowered it directly into the pond and placed it where it will stay for eternity When the process of moving the second layer of rough cut interior stones from the barges and into the pond was finished then the second layer of the Great Pyramid was completed

Figure 4 This cutaway view shows the process the rough cut interior stones were moved from a barge and into the pond The large boat is a stylized depiction of the two so‐called solar barges or sun boats found on the Giza Plateau (A) Workers walk to the front of the boat crane and a rope is attached to the rough cut interior stone (B) Workers walk to the back of the boat which causes the boat to pivot

The Pyramids

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza on the out‐skirts of Cairo

Several of the Giza pyramids are

counted among the largest struc‐tures ever built The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is

the largest Egyp‐tian pyramid It is the only one of the Seven Won‐ders of the An‐

cient World still in existence

The shape of Egyptian pyramids

is thought to represent the

primordial mound from which the

Egyptians believed the earth was created The

shape of a pyra‐mid is thought to be representative of the descending

rays of the sun and most pyra‐

mids were faced with polished

highly reflective white limestone in order to give them a brilliant

appearance when viewed from a

distance Pyramids were often also named in ways that referred to solar lumines‐

cence

thereby raising the 2 12 ton stone off of the barge (C) After the empty barge is moved out of the way the floating boat crane is positioned by workers in the waist deep pond so that the stone is directly above its final resting place Then the workers on the boat crane walked towards the bow which causes the boat crane to pivot in the water This causes the rough cut interior stone to be lowered into the pond and placed at its final destination This systematic process continued level by level The casing stones for the next higher level were set in place and bonded together watertight Next the rough cut interior stones for the level under construction were set in place There are two reasons why the casing stones for the next higher level were set in place before the rough cut interior stones were set in place for the level under construction The first reason for this order of construction is it allowed time for the bonding agent between the casing stones to cure which created a watertight seal be‐tween the joints The other reason is if the rough cut interior stones were set in place filling the pond with rough cut stones the barges loaded with the next level of casing stones would not be able to move through the pond because the pond would be filled with rough cut stones The use of water locks is efficient fast and powerful When built the Erie Canal was 45 feet deep yet the barges had a capacity to carry 70 tons of payload In two years the Erie Canal moved more tonnage in freight than the weight of the Great Pyramid Re‐search indicates a barge with stone would easily travel from the Nile river to the build‐ing site in a very short time With barges in each water lock a barge with one or more stones would have been delivered to the pond at a rate of every few minutes Using water locks this process continued 24 hours a day The use of water locks is rather sim‐ple but quite sophisticated It is also consis‐tent with the direct physical evidence The joints between the casing stones are water tight not to keep the Egyptian rain out or the Pharaohrsquos soul from symbolically leaking out but to keep water in during the con‐struction process

This systematic construction procedure con‐tinued as the Great Pyramid rose higher and higher The Great Pyramid was built level by level Each level was finished then the level above it was finished As construction pro‐gressed the pond on top of the Great Pyra‐mid became smaller and smaller while the series of water locks on the north face grew longer and longer But as construction pro‐gressed the speed of construction appeared faster and faster because each level was progressivity smaller which required less material to finish as construction continued The pond always stayed about waist deep as this fascinating and systematic construction process progressed Water locks are generally placed in pairs allowing the movement of vessels in both directions of a canal at the same time This is true in the Panama Canal the Saint Law‐rence Seaway and most other canals using water locks Extensive research conducted at the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) supports the conten‐tion that there was only one flight of water locks In other words water locks were only used to move stones on barges up to the pond where the assembly was taking place This greatly simplified the construction proc‐ess and greatly improved water efficiency The question this elicits is what was done with the empty barges that were up on the pond after the stones were removed De‐tailed analysis indicates the empty barges were moved over the casing stone wall and then lowered by rope to the pond im‐pounded by the wall surrounding the Great Pyramid construction site Then the empty barges were moved down the causeway and back into the Nile river This provided a fast and efficient method of returning the empty barges to the Nile river

Figure 5 (A) The barge with casing stone is moved between two stone supports The casing stone protrudes past the sides of the barge (B) Then water is allowed to enter the barge which lowers it This causes the casing stone to come to rest on the two support stones The barge is still floating between the supports but it is riding very low in the water That is why it is hard to see in the center panel (C) Then the par‐tially flooded barge is moved from between the two supports The unloaded barge with water in it is moved to the edge of the pond The use of water locks and barges was a powerful and extremely versatile method of moving heavy payloads Stone laden barges were able to easily transport their payloads right to where they will be placed Special‐ized barges and systematic procedures were used to move the stones off of barges and place the stones at their final destina‐tion The Great Pyramid consists of three basic sizes of stones The vast majority of the Great Pyramid is composed of rough cut interior stones which weigh about 2 12 tons The casing stones vary in size but do not exceed the weight of approximately 16 tons The Great Pyramid also contains a few dozen massive stones weighing in at fifty to seventy tons each These basic sizes of stones dictated different methods to move the stones from barges to their final resting place The relatively small 2 12 ton rough cut interior stones were moved from the barges using boats called sun ships These boats were utilized as floating cranes Workers walked towards the front of the ship which lowered the bow A rough cut interior stone was attached to a rope con‐nected to the high prow of the floating crane Then the workers walked to the back of the boat which lifted the stone from the barge Workers wading in the waist deep pond moved the empty barge out of the way while other workers guided the floating sun ship acting as a floating crane to the proper location Then the workers on the sun ship walked towards the front of

The Pyramids While it is gener‐ally agreed that pyramids were burial monu‐ments there is continued dis‐agreement on the particular theo‐logical principles that might have given rise to them One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of resurrection machine

The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens One of the narrow shafts that ex‐tends from the main burial cham‐ber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the de‐ceased pharaohs soul directly into the abode of the gods

All Egyptian pyra‐mids were built on the west bank of the Nile which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology Wikipedia

the floating crane lowering the stone down directly into the pond to its final resting place This process was fast powerful and extremely accurate in moving the rough cut interior stones The casing stones some as large as 16 tons were also on barges which traveled from the Nile river up to the building site and onto the pond impounded by casing stones The massive size of casing stones meant that they were not simply pulled up a mega‐ramp and then set in place using brute force To move and place these stones with extreme precision with a bonding agent between the joints and with no handling scars cannot be done using manpower alone It is not possi‐ble for ancient people and it is impossible for Egyptologists Neither group possessed back muscles with adequate strength Larger stones such as the casing stones re‐quired a different procedure to set them in their final resting place The Original Build‐ers used very specialized methods to move the casing stones They were brilliant in manipulating barges and used buoyancy to quickly move and place millions of tons of stones Their methods were ingenious and sophisticated When a casing stone was on a barge it pro‐truded beyond each side of the barge The barge loaded with a casing stone moved between two stone supports in the pond Water would then be allowed to enter the barge which would lower the barge into the pond This would cause the casing stone to come to rest on the two supports The barge which is not completely full of water is moved to the side of the pond The water in the barge is then siphoned out of the barge over the side of the pond This fast effi‐cient and powerful system is how a large casing stone was moved off of the barge This process took only minutes to complete

Figure 6 Water is removed from the barge by siphoning it out over the edge of the waist deep pond The siphon hose is full of water and the upper end is inserted into the barge The lower end of the siphon hose has a valve which is operated using linkage

When the valve is opened water is quickly and easily removed from the barge At that point a specialized barge was at‐tached to the casing stone The barge was already partially filled with water making it float low in the pond When this specialized barge was attached to the casing stone water was siphoned out of the barge and over the side of the pond This raised the barge and caused the casing stone to be lifted off the two supports Then workers wading in the waist deep pond directed the specialized barge and casing stone to the edge of the pond Effortlessly the workers position the barge so that the casing stone is just above its final resting place on top of the wall which impounded the waist deep pond So far the process did not require any of the workers to have big back muscles The next step was to move the stone from the barge to its final resting place First a large mound of bonding agent was applied on top of the wall where the casing stone will soon be placed as well as to the vertical surface of the previously placed casing stone This will result in a water tight seal in all the casing stone joints The next step was accomplished by allowing water to en‐ter the specialized barge causing the barge to slowly lower into the pond When this happens the casing stone is lowered onto the top of the mound of bonding agent This thick mound of bonding agent allowed time for the workers to quickly remove the ropes and rigging holding the casing stone to the specialized barge As the casing stone settled on the mound of bonding material workers used other types of specialized barges to quickly maneuver the heavy casing stone the last few inches to its final resting place The exact details of this final maneuvering process is explained in the book Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid This fast and efficient method would have taken only minutes to set and place each of the large precision cut casing stones This fast and systematic process continued level by level until the pond became smaller and smaller During construction of the upper portion of the Great Pyramid the pond would have been too small for the sun ships acting as floating cranes In that there are smaller boat pits on the Giza Plateau it is reasonable to contend smaller boat cranes were also used in the final stages of con‐struction Ultimately the capstone (if there was one) was moved on a barge up the wa‐ter locks to its final resting place crowning mankindrsquos first wonder of the ancient world

But with the capstone in place the con‐struction process was not completed

Figure 7 While the casing stone rested on the supports it was attached to a special‐ized barge The specialized barge was already partially filled with water which caused it to float low in the water A sleeve is placed on the sharp front edge of the casing stone as well as on the top edge This allowed the casing stone to be secured to the barge with ropes without damaging the casing stone or the ropes Water was siphoned out from the specialized barge and over the wall This caused the special‐ized barge to rise thereby lifting the casing stone off of the supports The specialized barge has two compartments One com‐partment in the front the other in the rear of the barge The compartment in the rear is filled with water as ballast to counterbal‐ance the weight of the casing stone The process is reversed when the casing stones is placed on top of the wall of casing stones Next the flight of water locks which were built into the casing stones were no longer needed and were removed Starting from the top the water locks were removed one by one and replaced with rough fill and a smooth covering to match the casing stones When the water locks were re‐moved this ancient wonder had the stark ultramodern utilitarian unadorned exte‐rior we all envision it had when the casing stones were still in place How fascinating it is that this description of the construction process is similar to what Herodotus wrote He said that the Great Pyramid was built level by level using ma‐chines with short wooden planks The doors on water locks are made of short wooden planks Herodotus also wrote that the Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up but finished from the top down The Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up and removing the water locks from

The Pyramids

Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known

as the Great Pyramid and the

Pyramid of Cheops) the

somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren) the relatively modest‐sized Pyramid of

Menkaure (or Mykerinus) along with a number of smaller satellite

edifices known as Queens pyra‐mids and the Great Sphinx

Of the three only Khafres pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu

pyramid by virtue of its more ele‐vated location and the steeper angle of inclina‐tion of its con‐

struction ndash it is in fact smaller in both height and

volume

The Giza Necropo‐lis has been a

popular tourist destination since

antiquity and was popularised in

Hellenistic times when the Great

Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Won‐

ders of the World Today it is the only

one of those wonders still in

existence

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine reveals the reason why the Great Pyramid was built Discarding the un‐workable explana‐tions offered by Egyptology Steven Myers provides a detailed and com‐pelling explanation

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

Transcending the fables and misin‐formation of mod‐ern Egyptology this book provides a detailed descrip‐tion of how the Great Pyramid was really built New discoveries of lost technologies used to build this mas‐sive wonder are

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13

  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

thereby raising the 2 12 ton stone off of the barge (C) After the empty barge is moved out of the way the floating boat crane is positioned by workers in the waist deep pond so that the stone is directly above its final resting place Then the workers on the boat crane walked towards the bow which causes the boat crane to pivot in the water This causes the rough cut interior stone to be lowered into the pond and placed at its final destination This systematic process continued level by level The casing stones for the next higher level were set in place and bonded together watertight Next the rough cut interior stones for the level under construction were set in place There are two reasons why the casing stones for the next higher level were set in place before the rough cut interior stones were set in place for the level under construction The first reason for this order of construction is it allowed time for the bonding agent between the casing stones to cure which created a watertight seal be‐tween the joints The other reason is if the rough cut interior stones were set in place filling the pond with rough cut stones the barges loaded with the next level of casing stones would not be able to move through the pond because the pond would be filled with rough cut stones The use of water locks is efficient fast and powerful When built the Erie Canal was 45 feet deep yet the barges had a capacity to carry 70 tons of payload In two years the Erie Canal moved more tonnage in freight than the weight of the Great Pyramid Re‐search indicates a barge with stone would easily travel from the Nile river to the build‐ing site in a very short time With barges in each water lock a barge with one or more stones would have been delivered to the pond at a rate of every few minutes Using water locks this process continued 24 hours a day The use of water locks is rather sim‐ple but quite sophisticated It is also consis‐tent with the direct physical evidence The joints between the casing stones are water tight not to keep the Egyptian rain out or the Pharaohrsquos soul from symbolically leaking out but to keep water in during the con‐struction process

This systematic construction procedure con‐tinued as the Great Pyramid rose higher and higher The Great Pyramid was built level by level Each level was finished then the level above it was finished As construction pro‐gressed the pond on top of the Great Pyra‐mid became smaller and smaller while the series of water locks on the north face grew longer and longer But as construction pro‐gressed the speed of construction appeared faster and faster because each level was progressivity smaller which required less material to finish as construction continued The pond always stayed about waist deep as this fascinating and systematic construction process progressed Water locks are generally placed in pairs allowing the movement of vessels in both directions of a canal at the same time This is true in the Panama Canal the Saint Law‐rence Seaway and most other canals using water locks Extensive research conducted at the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) supports the conten‐tion that there was only one flight of water locks In other words water locks were only used to move stones on barges up to the pond where the assembly was taking place This greatly simplified the construction proc‐ess and greatly improved water efficiency The question this elicits is what was done with the empty barges that were up on the pond after the stones were removed De‐tailed analysis indicates the empty barges were moved over the casing stone wall and then lowered by rope to the pond im‐pounded by the wall surrounding the Great Pyramid construction site Then the empty barges were moved down the causeway and back into the Nile river This provided a fast and efficient method of returning the empty barges to the Nile river

Figure 5 (A) The barge with casing stone is moved between two stone supports The casing stone protrudes past the sides of the barge (B) Then water is allowed to enter the barge which lowers it This causes the casing stone to come to rest on the two support stones The barge is still floating between the supports but it is riding very low in the water That is why it is hard to see in the center panel (C) Then the par‐tially flooded barge is moved from between the two supports The unloaded barge with water in it is moved to the edge of the pond The use of water locks and barges was a powerful and extremely versatile method of moving heavy payloads Stone laden barges were able to easily transport their payloads right to where they will be placed Special‐ized barges and systematic procedures were used to move the stones off of barges and place the stones at their final destina‐tion The Great Pyramid consists of three basic sizes of stones The vast majority of the Great Pyramid is composed of rough cut interior stones which weigh about 2 12 tons The casing stones vary in size but do not exceed the weight of approximately 16 tons The Great Pyramid also contains a few dozen massive stones weighing in at fifty to seventy tons each These basic sizes of stones dictated different methods to move the stones from barges to their final resting place The relatively small 2 12 ton rough cut interior stones were moved from the barges using boats called sun ships These boats were utilized as floating cranes Workers walked towards the front of the ship which lowered the bow A rough cut interior stone was attached to a rope con‐nected to the high prow of the floating crane Then the workers walked to the back of the boat which lifted the stone from the barge Workers wading in the waist deep pond moved the empty barge out of the way while other workers guided the floating sun ship acting as a floating crane to the proper location Then the workers on the sun ship walked towards the front of

The Pyramids While it is gener‐ally agreed that pyramids were burial monu‐ments there is continued dis‐agreement on the particular theo‐logical principles that might have given rise to them One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of resurrection machine

The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens One of the narrow shafts that ex‐tends from the main burial cham‐ber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the de‐ceased pharaohs soul directly into the abode of the gods

All Egyptian pyra‐mids were built on the west bank of the Nile which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology Wikipedia

the floating crane lowering the stone down directly into the pond to its final resting place This process was fast powerful and extremely accurate in moving the rough cut interior stones The casing stones some as large as 16 tons were also on barges which traveled from the Nile river up to the building site and onto the pond impounded by casing stones The massive size of casing stones meant that they were not simply pulled up a mega‐ramp and then set in place using brute force To move and place these stones with extreme precision with a bonding agent between the joints and with no handling scars cannot be done using manpower alone It is not possi‐ble for ancient people and it is impossible for Egyptologists Neither group possessed back muscles with adequate strength Larger stones such as the casing stones re‐quired a different procedure to set them in their final resting place The Original Build‐ers used very specialized methods to move the casing stones They were brilliant in manipulating barges and used buoyancy to quickly move and place millions of tons of stones Their methods were ingenious and sophisticated When a casing stone was on a barge it pro‐truded beyond each side of the barge The barge loaded with a casing stone moved between two stone supports in the pond Water would then be allowed to enter the barge which would lower the barge into the pond This would cause the casing stone to come to rest on the two supports The barge which is not completely full of water is moved to the side of the pond The water in the barge is then siphoned out of the barge over the side of the pond This fast effi‐cient and powerful system is how a large casing stone was moved off of the barge This process took only minutes to complete

Figure 6 Water is removed from the barge by siphoning it out over the edge of the waist deep pond The siphon hose is full of water and the upper end is inserted into the barge The lower end of the siphon hose has a valve which is operated using linkage

When the valve is opened water is quickly and easily removed from the barge At that point a specialized barge was at‐tached to the casing stone The barge was already partially filled with water making it float low in the pond When this specialized barge was attached to the casing stone water was siphoned out of the barge and over the side of the pond This raised the barge and caused the casing stone to be lifted off the two supports Then workers wading in the waist deep pond directed the specialized barge and casing stone to the edge of the pond Effortlessly the workers position the barge so that the casing stone is just above its final resting place on top of the wall which impounded the waist deep pond So far the process did not require any of the workers to have big back muscles The next step was to move the stone from the barge to its final resting place First a large mound of bonding agent was applied on top of the wall where the casing stone will soon be placed as well as to the vertical surface of the previously placed casing stone This will result in a water tight seal in all the casing stone joints The next step was accomplished by allowing water to en‐ter the specialized barge causing the barge to slowly lower into the pond When this happens the casing stone is lowered onto the top of the mound of bonding agent This thick mound of bonding agent allowed time for the workers to quickly remove the ropes and rigging holding the casing stone to the specialized barge As the casing stone settled on the mound of bonding material workers used other types of specialized barges to quickly maneuver the heavy casing stone the last few inches to its final resting place The exact details of this final maneuvering process is explained in the book Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid This fast and efficient method would have taken only minutes to set and place each of the large precision cut casing stones This fast and systematic process continued level by level until the pond became smaller and smaller During construction of the upper portion of the Great Pyramid the pond would have been too small for the sun ships acting as floating cranes In that there are smaller boat pits on the Giza Plateau it is reasonable to contend smaller boat cranes were also used in the final stages of con‐struction Ultimately the capstone (if there was one) was moved on a barge up the wa‐ter locks to its final resting place crowning mankindrsquos first wonder of the ancient world

But with the capstone in place the con‐struction process was not completed

Figure 7 While the casing stone rested on the supports it was attached to a special‐ized barge The specialized barge was already partially filled with water which caused it to float low in the water A sleeve is placed on the sharp front edge of the casing stone as well as on the top edge This allowed the casing stone to be secured to the barge with ropes without damaging the casing stone or the ropes Water was siphoned out from the specialized barge and over the wall This caused the special‐ized barge to rise thereby lifting the casing stone off of the supports The specialized barge has two compartments One com‐partment in the front the other in the rear of the barge The compartment in the rear is filled with water as ballast to counterbal‐ance the weight of the casing stone The process is reversed when the casing stones is placed on top of the wall of casing stones Next the flight of water locks which were built into the casing stones were no longer needed and were removed Starting from the top the water locks were removed one by one and replaced with rough fill and a smooth covering to match the casing stones When the water locks were re‐moved this ancient wonder had the stark ultramodern utilitarian unadorned exte‐rior we all envision it had when the casing stones were still in place How fascinating it is that this description of the construction process is similar to what Herodotus wrote He said that the Great Pyramid was built level by level using ma‐chines with short wooden planks The doors on water locks are made of short wooden planks Herodotus also wrote that the Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up but finished from the top down The Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up and removing the water locks from

The Pyramids

Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known

as the Great Pyramid and the

Pyramid of Cheops) the

somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren) the relatively modest‐sized Pyramid of

Menkaure (or Mykerinus) along with a number of smaller satellite

edifices known as Queens pyra‐mids and the Great Sphinx

Of the three only Khafres pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu

pyramid by virtue of its more ele‐vated location and the steeper angle of inclina‐tion of its con‐

struction ndash it is in fact smaller in both height and

volume

The Giza Necropo‐lis has been a

popular tourist destination since

antiquity and was popularised in

Hellenistic times when the Great

Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Won‐

ders of the World Today it is the only

one of those wonders still in

existence

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine reveals the reason why the Great Pyramid was built Discarding the un‐workable explana‐tions offered by Egyptology Steven Myers provides a detailed and com‐pelling explanation

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

WHAT IF LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN IN OUTER SPACE

Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago bringing with them technology that drastically af‐fected the course of history and our own development Originally presented in Erich von Daniken s 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods the theory of ancient aliens rocked our accepted notions of mankind s natural evolution From the age of dinosaurs to ancient Egypt from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the United States each episode in this series gives historic depth to the questions speculations provocative controversies first‐hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding an age‐old debate did intelligent forms from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago Do they visit us now Ancient Aliens launches expeditions to seek out and evaluate the original evidence concentrating on discoveries from the past 30 years It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true but many agree cannot be ignored Together for the first time all 15 fascinating episodes of seasons 1 and 2 Produced with the exclusive co‐operation of von Daniken himself

Gold trinkets were found in an area covering Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 CE but since they are made from gold accurate dating is impossible and based essentially on stratigraphy which may be deceptive However we can safely say that these gold objects are more than 1000 years old

The ruins of Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco The others three structures are The Aka‐

pana Pyramid the Kalasasaya Platform and the Subterranean Temple Even with modern day technology and information these

structures defy logic and confound those who seek to solve the mysteries that lie within them The ruins of Puma Punku are said

to be the most fascinating and most confusing of all

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

How the Pyramids were Built By Steven Myers

the floating crane lowering the stone down directly into the pond to its final resting place This process was fast powerful and extremely accurate in moving the rough cut interior stones The casing stones some as large as 16 tons were also on barges which traveled from the Nile river up to the building site and onto the pond impounded by casing stones The massive size of casing stones meant that they were not simply pulled up a mega‐ramp and then set in place using brute force To move and place these stones with extreme precision with a bonding agent between the joints and with no handling scars cannot be done using manpower alone It is not possi‐ble for ancient people and it is impossible for Egyptologists Neither group possessed back muscles with adequate strength Larger stones such as the casing stones re‐quired a different procedure to set them in their final resting place The Original Build‐ers used very specialized methods to move the casing stones They were brilliant in manipulating barges and used buoyancy to quickly move and place millions of tons of stones Their methods were ingenious and sophisticated When a casing stone was on a barge it pro‐truded beyond each side of the barge The barge loaded with a casing stone moved between two stone supports in the pond Water would then be allowed to enter the barge which would lower the barge into the pond This would cause the casing stone to come to rest on the two supports The barge which is not completely full of water is moved to the side of the pond The water in the barge is then siphoned out of the barge over the side of the pond This fast effi‐cient and powerful system is how a large casing stone was moved off of the barge This process took only minutes to complete

Figure 6 Water is removed from the barge by siphoning it out over the edge of the waist deep pond The siphon hose is full of water and the upper end is inserted into the barge The lower end of the siphon hose has a valve which is operated using linkage

When the valve is opened water is quickly and easily removed from the barge At that point a specialized barge was at‐tached to the casing stone The barge was already partially filled with water making it float low in the pond When this specialized barge was attached to the casing stone water was siphoned out of the barge and over the side of the pond This raised the barge and caused the casing stone to be lifted off the two supports Then workers wading in the waist deep pond directed the specialized barge and casing stone to the edge of the pond Effortlessly the workers position the barge so that the casing stone is just above its final resting place on top of the wall which impounded the waist deep pond So far the process did not require any of the workers to have big back muscles The next step was to move the stone from the barge to its final resting place First a large mound of bonding agent was applied on top of the wall where the casing stone will soon be placed as well as to the vertical surface of the previously placed casing stone This will result in a water tight seal in all the casing stone joints The next step was accomplished by allowing water to en‐ter the specialized barge causing the barge to slowly lower into the pond When this happens the casing stone is lowered onto the top of the mound of bonding agent This thick mound of bonding agent allowed time for the workers to quickly remove the ropes and rigging holding the casing stone to the specialized barge As the casing stone settled on the mound of bonding material workers used other types of specialized barges to quickly maneuver the heavy casing stone the last few inches to its final resting place The exact details of this final maneuvering process is explained in the book Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid This fast and efficient method would have taken only minutes to set and place each of the large precision cut casing stones This fast and systematic process continued level by level until the pond became smaller and smaller During construction of the upper portion of the Great Pyramid the pond would have been too small for the sun ships acting as floating cranes In that there are smaller boat pits on the Giza Plateau it is reasonable to contend smaller boat cranes were also used in the final stages of con‐struction Ultimately the capstone (if there was one) was moved on a barge up the wa‐ter locks to its final resting place crowning mankindrsquos first wonder of the ancient world

But with the capstone in place the con‐struction process was not completed

Figure 7 While the casing stone rested on the supports it was attached to a special‐ized barge The specialized barge was already partially filled with water which caused it to float low in the water A sleeve is placed on the sharp front edge of the casing stone as well as on the top edge This allowed the casing stone to be secured to the barge with ropes without damaging the casing stone or the ropes Water was siphoned out from the specialized barge and over the wall This caused the special‐ized barge to rise thereby lifting the casing stone off of the supports The specialized barge has two compartments One com‐partment in the front the other in the rear of the barge The compartment in the rear is filled with water as ballast to counterbal‐ance the weight of the casing stone The process is reversed when the casing stones is placed on top of the wall of casing stones Next the flight of water locks which were built into the casing stones were no longer needed and were removed Starting from the top the water locks were removed one by one and replaced with rough fill and a smooth covering to match the casing stones When the water locks were re‐moved this ancient wonder had the stark ultramodern utilitarian unadorned exte‐rior we all envision it had when the casing stones were still in place How fascinating it is that this description of the construction process is similar to what Herodotus wrote He said that the Great Pyramid was built level by level using ma‐chines with short wooden planks The doors on water locks are made of short wooden planks Herodotus also wrote that the Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up but finished from the top down The Great Pyramid was built from the bot‐tom up and removing the water locks from

The Pyramids

Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known

as the Great Pyramid and the

Pyramid of Cheops) the

somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren) the relatively modest‐sized Pyramid of

Menkaure (or Mykerinus) along with a number of smaller satellite

edifices known as Queens pyra‐mids and the Great Sphinx

Of the three only Khafres pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu

pyramid by virtue of its more ele‐vated location and the steeper angle of inclina‐tion of its con‐

struction ndash it is in fact smaller in both height and

volume

The Giza Necropo‐lis has been a

popular tourist destination since

antiquity and was popularised in

Hellenistic times when the Great

Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Won‐

ders of the World Today it is the only

one of those wonders still in

existence

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine reveals the reason why the Great Pyramid was built Discarding the un‐workable explana‐tions offered by Egyptology Steven Myers provides a detailed and com‐pelling explanation

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

Transcending the fables and misin‐formation of mod‐ern Egyptology this book provides a detailed descrip‐tion of how the Great Pyramid was really built New discoveries of lost technologies used to build this mas‐sive wonder are

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

WHAT IF LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN IN OUTER SPACE

Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago bringing with them technology that drastically af‐fected the course of history and our own development Originally presented in Erich von Daniken s 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods the theory of ancient aliens rocked our accepted notions of mankind s natural evolution From the age of dinosaurs to ancient Egypt from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the United States each episode in this series gives historic depth to the questions speculations provocative controversies first‐hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding an age‐old debate did intelligent forms from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago Do they visit us now Ancient Aliens launches expeditions to seek out and evaluate the original evidence concentrating on discoveries from the past 30 years It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true but many agree cannot be ignored Together for the first time all 15 fascinating episodes of seasons 1 and 2 Produced with the exclusive co‐operation of von Daniken himself

Gold trinkets were found in an area covering Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 CE but since they are made from gold accurate dating is impossible and based essentially on stratigraphy which may be deceptive However we can safely say that these gold objects are more than 1000 years old

The ruins of Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco The others three structures are The Aka‐

pana Pyramid the Kalasasaya Platform and the Subterranean Temple Even with modern day technology and information these

structures defy logic and confound those who seek to solve the mysteries that lie within them The ruins of Puma Punku are said

to be the most fascinating and most confusing of all

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

How the Pyramids were BuiltBy Steven Myers

Page 6 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

the top down is consistent with the writings of Herodotus Also this explanation is consistent with many of the construction methods Sir Flinders Petrie felt were used to build the Great Pyra‐mid Sir Flinders Petrie felt the following construction methods were used to build the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid was built level by level including the casing stones The casing stones were finished on all six sides before they were set in place The casing stones were set in place from the inside The casing stones for each level were set in place before the interior stones for that level were set in place All of these construction methods are consistent with this explanation The use of water locks and barges is what makes it all possible This description of how the Great Pyramid was built is very abbreviated and will proba‐bly elicit a number of questions How were the largest stones moved and set in place Barges capable of carrying a 70 ton stone would seemingly required rather large water locks How did the subterranean water pump function to move water up on the pond as the construction process contin‐ued The most important question is why did the Original Builders create their master‐piece of engineering called the Great Pyra‐mid The answers to these questions will be addressed in subsequent articles as well as in my two books about the Great Pyramid Also there is a free video series available to watch with detailed computer generated animations showing the processes used to build the Great Pyramid The web link for that video series is wwwthepumporg The Great Pyramid was built by geniuses who used a fast systematic efficient and powerful construction process to create their wonder of the world This ancient building with its extreme precision and enig‐matic passages and chambers is evidence that the Original Builders use various forms of high technologies which are now lost to modern mankind

It is the contention of this author that to redevelop these ancient high technologies of the Great Pyramid would help our modern but very troubled world

Steve Myers is an author independent re‐searcher lecturer and frequent guest on radio talk shows explaining this fascinating understanding of the Great Pyramid He is also founder of the nonprofit organization called the Pharaohrsquos Pump Foundation (wwwthepumporg) dedicated to under‐standing how and why the Great Pyramid was built His books Lost Technologies of the Great Pyramid and The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine are available in both soft cover and Kindle EBook formats Contact information Web site wwwthepumporg Phone 541‐396‐5249 Email infothepumporg

The Great Pyramid Prosperity Machine reveals the reason why the Great Pyramid was built Discarding the un‐workable explana‐tions offered by Egyptology Steven Myers provides a detailed and com‐pelling explanation

of the original purpose of this ancient highly technical wonder Prosperity was why the Great Pyramid was built But more than just describing the ancient high technology of the Great Pyramid Steven Myers advocates that the Great Pyramid can help people now in our modern but troubled world He contends that the technology used in the infrastructure we call the Great Pyramid must be redeveloped in our modern Age to improve our lives create a cleaner environ‐ment break our addition to oil and usher in a new era of unsurpassed prosperity

Transcending the fables and misin‐formation of mod‐ern Egyptology this book provides a detailed descrip‐tion of how the Great Pyramid was really built New discoveries of lost technologies used to build this mas‐sive wonder are

the focus of this book Steven Myers ex‐plains what really happened as the Great Pyramid was built He describes the fasci‐nating and unique building process from the initial surveying all the way to the placement of the capstone This book also examines modern Egyptologys unprovable explanations of how the Great Pyramid was built

The Pyramids

There have been many hypotheses about the Egyp‐tian pyramid construction techniques These techniques seem to have developed over time later pyramids were not built the same way as earlier ones Most of the construction hypotheses are based on the idea that huge stones were carved with copper chisels from stone quar‐ries and these blocks were then dragged and lifted into position

In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques there have been dis‐agreements as to the kind of work‐force used Some even believe Extraterrestrials assisted in their construction The debate contin‐ueshellip

WHAT IF LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN IN OUTER SPACE

Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago bringing with them technology that drastically af‐fected the course of history and our own development Originally presented in Erich von Daniken s 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods the theory of ancient aliens rocked our accepted notions of mankind s natural evolution From the age of dinosaurs to ancient Egypt from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the United States each episode in this series gives historic depth to the questions speculations provocative controversies first‐hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding an age‐old debate did intelligent forms from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago Do they visit us now Ancient Aliens launches expeditions to seek out and evaluate the original evidence concentrating on discoveries from the past 30 years It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true but many agree cannot be ignored Together for the first time all 15 fascinating episodes of seasons 1 and 2 Produced with the exclusive co‐operation of von Daniken himself

Gold trinkets were found in an area covering Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 CE but since they are made from gold accurate dating is impossible and based essentially on stratigraphy which may be deceptive However we can safely say that these gold objects are more than 1000 years old

The ruins of Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco The others three structures are The Aka‐

pana Pyramid the Kalasasaya Platform and the Subterranean Temple Even with modern day technology and information these

structures defy logic and confound those who seek to solve the mysteries that lie within them The ruins of Puma Punku are said

to be the most fascinating and most confusing of all

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Welcome to Neil McDonalds Megalithic Tours Ten Years on the Road

Join our small friendly groups on specialist tours to ancient mystical and historical sites in Britain Ireland France Spain and Malta Now in our 10th year Neilrsquos specialist tours visit many of the most popular Ancient Mystical and Historical sites The smaller size of our groups means that we can also reach the more remote little known sites that Neil has discovered over many years of experience

We visit most areas of Britain from Cornwall to Orkney and Shetland Our European destinations include Carnac in Northern France the Malta Tem‐ples and the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage in Spain In the South of Francersquos Cathar Country we look into the mysteries of Sauniere and Rennes‐le‐Chacircteau the knights Templar the Priory of Sion and the Cathars

Megalithic Tour Groups ‐ are small friendly and welcoming Quite a number come along on their own and others with friends or partners Many of our travellers enjoy the social side of the tours and value the opportunity to get to know like minded people during the day over dinner or later in the bar Some like to keep their own council of course and that is respected but many have made lasting friendships and come back many times One of our regular travellers recently told me that we always have great fun its like coming back to see old friends

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

WHAT IF LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN IN OUTER SPACE

Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago bringing with them technology that drastically af‐fected the course of history and our own development Originally presented in Erich von Daniken s 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods the theory of ancient aliens rocked our accepted notions of mankind s natural evolution From the age of dinosaurs to ancient Egypt from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the United States each episode in this series gives historic depth to the questions speculations provocative controversies first‐hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding an age‐old debate did intelligent forms from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago Do they visit us now Ancient Aliens launches expeditions to seek out and evaluate the original evidence concentrating on discoveries from the past 30 years It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true but many agree cannot be ignored Together for the first time all 15 fascinating episodes of seasons 1 and 2 Produced with the exclusive co‐operation of von Daniken himself

Gold trinkets were found in an area covering Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 CE but since they are made from gold accurate dating is impossible and based essentially on stratigraphy which may be deceptive However we can safely say that these gold objects are more than 1000 years old

The ruins of Puma Punku are one of four structures in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco The others three structures are The Aka‐

pana Pyramid the Kalasasaya Platform and the Subterranean Temple Even with modern day technology and information these

structures defy logic and confound those who seek to solve the mysteries that lie within them The ruins of Puma Punku are said

to be the most fascinating and most confusing of all

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

(PM‐Though there are quite a large number of books available on Spiritualism not many actually give advice Nowhellip Irsquom not sure if I fully believe the process of spiritualism but the book did keep my interest though I did come across subjects I had read about in similar books Not really my cup of tea but you may want it in your collection if your into this type of stuff All in all I considered the book average and nothing in it to help it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 9 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

What is synchronicity Wikipedia states ldquoSynchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner The concept of synchronicity was first described by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s The concept does not question or compete with the notion of causality Instead it maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause they may also be grouped by their meaning Since meaning is a complex mental construction subject to conscious and unconscious influence not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effectrdquo

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 10 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Coincidence Again from Wikipedia ldquoA coinci‐dence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions eg another event As such a coincidence occurs when some‐thing uncanny accidental and unexpected hap‐pens under conditions named but not under a defined relationship When there are no condi‐tions named the event is just that single entity The word is derived from the Latin cum ‐ (with together) and incidere (a composed verb from in and cadere to fall on to happen)rdquo Serendipity The Cambridge Dictionary defines this as ldquothe lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chancerdquo Synchronicity runs throughout our lives and sometimes with the most amazing results How many times have we heard someone say ldquoWow What a coinci‐dencerdquo Synchronicity seems to abound in Ufol‐ogy and it is not just me that has noticed this rather odd phenomenon Researching over many decades I have come upon many others who have studied this subject and say the same thing I will now give you some examples of synchronic‐ity or coincidence that have happened in my own life and leave it to you the reader to make up your own mind as to what is in play here In 1983 I left Warminster in Wiltshire to work in the Lake District in the North‐West of England I worked for two years at a healing sanctuary on the shores of Coniston Water Healing took place through an altered state of consciousness By‐passing the lower mind and talking to the deeper self quite often took the person back to a previ‐ous life to a time where the problem first took hold An impingement that was carried through from the past and into the present personality which ‐ if not dealt with ‐ would continue to trou‐ble the soul as it travelled the long and winding road back to the Source It was an amazing tool for healing which impressed me so much that I left Warminster to learn more

I stayed for two years and then moved south to Cambridge where I worked for one of the uni‐versities excavating a Bronze Age Settlement out on the Fens Finding clay pots and flint arrow‐heads that were made 4000 years ago felt almost mystical I would stand and look back to try and imagine what it was like for people surviving in such an inhospitable place Irsquom sure the mind is quite capable of seeing into the past and bypass‐ing the illusion of time The energy must still be there locked away in the ethers

A fantastic story waiting to be told of a time when people were recovering from the retreated ice flows as the sea levels rose and created the fresh‐water wetlands This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local book‐shop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Gen‐isis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his re‐search for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account state‐ment from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666

Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my ac‐count and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this in‐stance ‐ and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received an‐other statement and was startled to see that

once again pound666 had been paid into my ac‐count This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that na‐ture might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies ex‐actly pound666

Shortly after this I moved back to the Lake Dis‐trict and started a small local Theosophical Society branch I agreed to be the Treasurer and duly opened an account I opened the ac‐count with pound10 and at the first meeting we collected another pound484 The next day I went to the main branch and paid the pound484 into my account Outside the bank I checked the bank book to make sure that the transaction had gone through okay and was shocked to see that pound666 had been entered into my account I sim‐ply did not understand how this could have been done It was a cash transaction Again one part of my mind was saying that as it was a cash transaction could they really trace where it had gone wrong Another part of my mind was reminding me that I was a member of the Theosophical Society and we stood for Truth above all else and it would be an enor‐mous failing not to go back to counter and sort this out Also the lady cashier may well have been in trouble if her books did not balance at the end of the day I returned to the counter and showed her the erroneous amount in the bank book She was as shocked as I was and could not understand how this could have hap‐pened She said that they would have worked it out eventually but it would have been difficult and she was so pleased that I had returned and pointed this out to her Was this a coincidence As I wrote above the book informed me that something might hap‐pen and it did ndash again It was exactly pound666 No odd pennies exactly pound666 and yet I had paid in pound484 Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note In‐stead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allot‐ments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Synchronicity By Mike Oram

Page 11 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

allotments I looked ahead and saw the small humped‐back bridge that straddled the old canal I thought to myself that once I was over the bridge there would not be much chance of find‐ing a ten‐pound note As I reached the top of the bridge there lying on the ground was a pound5 note Okay it was not a pound10 note as I had thought it would be but a pound5 note is pretty close Was this a coincidence Perhaps my mind work‐ing outside of time and space had seen what was going to happen and fed this into my brain Maybe the conditions were right for this to hap‐pen as obviously things like this do not occur all the time Or maybe like a good dowser using his rods whose mind acting outside of time and space can detect water from a distance and even tell the quality of that water the depth of that water from ground level and even the flow rate my mind picked up the presence of the note In February of this year (2011) I travelled to Lon‐don to go to for one of my regular hospital ap‐pointments By 1pm I was outside the hospital with the rest of the day to myself I decided to catch a bus and go to Camden Market as my train back to the North was not until 630pm The buses in London are very frequent and I waited no more then five minutes I arrived in Camden around 3pm after first having had some lunch I looked in a couple of charity shops en route to the market but then had an overwhelming feel‐ing to catch another bus and go to Hampstead Heath I thought about how much time I had left before getting back to Euston and wondered if it was worth it However this feeling was so strong that I found myself jumping on the next bus that went to the Heath I arrived at the Heath about 4pm with very little time to do much at all and wondered why I had made this eccentric detour Before going any further I must mention that when I got off the train at Euston just after 10am I had a strong impulse about finding an‐other pound10 note As soon as I stepped off the train and onto the platform this feeling hit me with such a force that I immediately walked with my head down looking at the platform floor for the pound10 note but to no avail However the feeling never left me and was there on and off during the course of the day

One year before this event I had travelled down to Euston on this regular trip and this time Fran my partner decided to come with me

After the appointment at the hospital we took the bus to Hampstead Heath We walked onto the Heath and passed the first pond We arrived at the second pond and Fran had kept back some of her sandwich to feed the ducks She had her spectacles hanging around her neck on a cord She gave a big swing of her arm to throw the bread to the ducks and her arm caught the cord and the glasses went sailing through the air and landed in the water We were trying to see where they had landed when two excited dogs went splashing into the pond and stirred the up the mud We waited for twenty minutes after the dogs had gone for the mud to settle to see if we could see the glasses They were triple focus and had cost pound300 A po‐lice car arrived and Fran walked over to ask them for help They managed to hold back their laugh‐ter as they obviously saw the funny side of things and told her that the water fell away very quickly indeed and was quite deep and they were not allowed to venture in Luckily Franrsquos specta‐cles were insured and the insurers accepted her rather odd but true story and they were re‐placed

I mention the above because I had a strong feel‐ing to go back to the Heath and to the pond just out of interest and to see if I could by any re‐mote chance see the glasses I still however had this overwhelming feeling about finding a pound10 note I walked onto the Heath with my head down and headed for the pond As I approached the second pond I was scouting the ground very carefully and when I reached the spot where the glasses had been lost heavily camouflaged with old brown leaves and rolled up was a pound10 note At first I thought it was a leaf and even on closer inspection it still looked like a leaf However because of the overwhelming urge I still had about finding a pound10 note I looked even closer and eventually picked it up to just check and sure enough it was a pound10 note

Was this a coincidence What forces are at play here and for what reason Finding a pound10 note is not life‐changing so what is such an event tell‐ing me Is it the same force that tells me to leave my house at a certain time and look up into the sky or to suddenly look out the window because of a strong sensation and outside will be a hovering UFO What is the purpose of this I have just tied together a few of the odd syn‐chronistic events that have happened in my life and Irsquom sure all you readers will recognise simi‐lar patterns that have happened in your life In fact I think coincidences happen so often that we just take most of them for granted It may even be a coincidence that I have decided to write this article today ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mike Oram is the author of Does It Rain in Other Dimensions The Zen of Ben by Mike Oram amp John Pickering

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Welcome to Neil McDonalds Megalithic Tours Ten Years on the Road

Join our small friendly groups on specialist tours to ancient mystical and historical sites in Britain Ireland France Spain and Malta Now in our 10th year Neilrsquos specialist tours visit many of the most popular Ancient Mystical and Historical sites The smaller size of our groups means that we can also reach the more remote little known sites that Neil has discovered over many years of experience

We visit most areas of Britain from Cornwall to Orkney and Shetland Our European destinations include Carnac in Northern France the Malta Tem‐ples and the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage in Spain In the South of Francersquos Cathar Country we look into the mysteries of Sauniere and Rennes‐le‐Chacircteau the knights Templar the Priory of Sion and the Cathars

Megalithic Tour Groups ‐ are small friendly and welcoming Quite a number come along on their own and others with friends or partners Many of our travellers enjoy the social side of the tours and value the opportunity to get to know like minded people during the day over dinner or later in the bar Some like to keep their own council of course and that is respected but many have made lasting friendships and come back many times One of our regular travellers recently told me that we always have great fun its like coming back to see old friends

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

Page 17 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

WHAT FIRST STARTED OUT AS A DELAYED FLIGHT HAS NOW BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL AVIATION MYSTERY WHERE IS MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 AND ITS

239 PASSENGERS AND CREW

HAS IT BEEN HIJACKED BY TERRORISTS

WAS THE PLANE SOMEHOW DESTROYED IN MID AIR

HAS THE AIRCRAFT GONE DOWN AT SEA DUE TO PILOT ERROR

ORhellip AS SOME HAVE SPECULATEDhellip ARE UFOs

RESPONSIBLE

The hunt for the missing Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew has taken many twists and turns Here we publish a day by day account of the informa‐tion that has emerged about the planersquos final hours confirmed locations ndash and theories about its fate When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on a clear night on Saturday 8th March 2014 no one could explain how the Boeing 777 had seemingly vanished Ten days later there is still more confusion and misinformation than solid evidence and the aircraft with 239 people on board is still missing Just hours after the 1240am flight disappeared the Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the plane was still in contact with air traffic controllers about two hours into the flight pinning the last contact at about 240am [all times local] at a point 120 nautical miles off the east coast of Malaysia But FlightAware a flight‐tracking website showed the plane climbing to 10700 metres (35000ft) before disappearing from records at 1am about 20 minutes after it took off At 1am the plane was scheduled to enter Vietnamese air space while flying between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City and did not No distress signal was issued

Twelve hours after the plane vanished search and rescue teams from Malaysia Singapore and Vietnam began looking for debris or wreckage off Vietnam China and the Philippines soon sent their own ships and aircraft to help A few hours later a Vietnamese admiral told media the aircraft could have crashed in Vietnam‐ese waters near an island ndash with reports of a giant oil slick and column of smoke emerging Soon questions over whether terrorism was involved began circulating after an Italian and an Austrian came forward to say they had not flown on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite being listed in the flightrsquos manifest

Teams from the US began aiding the search Malaysiarsquos prime minister Najib Razak said terrorism was a possibility as authorities began in‐vestigating reports that as many as four people on board MH370 may have been using stolen passports Later that day a Japan‐bound pilot from another Boeing 777 claimed to have made contact with MH370 at 130am minutes before it disap‐peared saying he had asked the aircraft if it had entered Vietnamese airspace but received only static and mumbling in return

Vietnam claimed to have found more debris while the Malaysian transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters the aircraft may have turned back

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

(PM‐Though there are quite a large number of books available on Spiritualism not many actually give advice Nowhellip Irsquom not sure if I fully believe the process of spiritualism but the book did keep my interest though I did come across subjects I had read about in similar books Not really my cup of tea but you may want it in your collection if your into this type of stuff All in all I considered the book average and nothing in it to help it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

towards Malaysia Later that day it emerged that the Italian and Austrian men believed to be on board the flight had had their passports stolen in Thailand within the past two years prompting fears that the men using their passports were terrorists

Malaysiarsquos aviation chief Aharuddin Abdul Rahman stoked fears of a terrorist plot when he said five passengers had checked in but never boarded the flight Authorities denied Vietnamese reports that debris had been found with the oil slick believed to belong to the plane revealed to be from a ship while the ldquolife raftrdquo spotted off the coast of Vietnam turned out to be a moss‐covered cable reel

CCTV footage of the two men travelling on stolen European pass‐ports prompted Malaysian officials to describe them as resem‐bling the black Italian striker Mario Balotelli Najib demanded a review of Kuala Lumpurrsquos security measures

Malaysia Airlines said the pilots may have tried to turn the plane back towards Malaysia as the country widened its search and provided more teams In a bizarre twist Malaysiarsquos air force chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said the plane had been detected at 240am near Pulau Perak an island in the Malacca strait ndash indicating the plane had indeed flown back and was accounted for a whole hour later after it initially disappeared He would later deny this claim

Earlier fears of terrorism were slightly assuaged as Interpol said more information had emerged about the men who travelled on stolen passports that indi‐cated terrorism was less likely Interpol named the two as Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad 19 and Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza 29 both from Iran Re‐ports suggested they were asylum seekers rather than terrorists

Rodzali said the last radar signal from the missing aircraft was received 200 miles north‐west of Penang at 215am on Saturday ndash a third potential last sighting This would put the last signal at 45 minutes after authorities had initially said they lost contact However Daud said the data had not been received in real time so it could have belonged to another aircraft ldquoIrsquom not saying this is MH370 We are still cor‐roborating thisrdquo he told a press conference ldquoThere is a possibility of the aircraft making a comeback

It remains as a possibility hellip It is very difficult to say for sure it is the aircraftrdquo Unconfirmed reports also emerged of Malaysian fishermen spotting what looked like a life raft with the word ldquoBoardingrdquo on it floating off the east coast of Malaysia although it is believed to have sunk when authorities attempted to bring it back to shore while the Beijing News claimed that a dead body was seen in the Malacca strait wearing a life vest

Sources ldquofamiliar with the detailsrdquo of the missing Boeing 777 told the Wall Street Journal that US investigators believed the plane had flown for a total of five hours indicating it have been di‐verted ldquowith the intention of using it later for another purposerdquo

The theory was apparently based on data from the Boeingrsquos engines manufactured by the British company Rolls‐Royce sent to the ground However Malay‐sian officials denied that the engines transmitted any data past 107am Malaysian authorities also said the plane was again caught on radar at 230am ndash this was later denied ndash and on military radar at 215am near the Malacca strait indicating the plane had turned away from its flight path towards Beijing

With almost a week gone a new theory emerged a report based on radar‐trafficking suggesting MH370 may have flown deliberately off course towards the Andaman Islands after it last made contact with air traffic control Sources told Reuters the flight path of an unidentified aircraft investigators believed to be MH370 was following a route with specific navigational waypoints suggesting someone with aviation training was at the helm On the same day came reports that the aircraftrsquos two communications sys‐tems were shut down with ldquomanual interventionrdquo the probable cause According to two US officials who spoke to ABC News the 777rsquos data reporting system was shut down at 107am while the trans‐ponder ndash which sends back information to civilian radar regarding performance location and altitude ndash was turned off at 121am At a press conference late on Friday afternoon Hishammuddin Malaysiarsquos acting transport minister said authorities were investigating the possibility that the planersquos communica‐tions systems had been deliberately shut down and said there were ldquofour or five possibilitiesrdquo Hisham‐muddin confirmed that MH370rsquos ldquowhole passenger manifestrdquo including crew was being looked into and added ldquoIf investigation requires searching the pilotsrsquo homes it will be donerdquo

SATURDAY In perhaps the most dramatic twist to the story so far Najib confirmed that the planersquos com‐munications systems had been deliberately turned off and that the jet had seemingly flown on for an‐other six hours after contact was lost Addressing a press conference Malaysiarsquos prime minister said that while the transponder and Acars data system were turned off early in the flight the plane

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13

  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

communicated with satellite seven hours after it took off The satellite communication could only determine that the plane took one of two huge flight corri‐dors following its last confirmed location at 215am a week before over the Malacca strait ndash south from Indonesia towards the Indian Ocean or north from Thailand towards central Asia ldquoThese movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the planerdquo Najib said saying attention was being fo‐cused on potential motives for those among the crew or passengers Malaysian police began searching the home of the planersquos 53‐year‐old captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Malaysian investigators said the last voice communication from MH370 ndash a brief message to ground controllers saying ldquoAll right good nightrdquo ndash came after the first set of communication systems was dis‐abled This placed yet more focus on the potential actions of Zaharie and his 27‐year‐old co‐pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid with their families interviewed There were now 25 countries helping with the vast search including Pakistan Kyrgyzstan Myanmar Laos Vietnam Thailand Indonesia and Australia with special assistance regarding satellite data from the US China and France

Monday Malaysia said it believed the final spoken words from the plane came from Fariq the co‐pilot not his colleague or an intruder on the flight deck However they appeared to backtrack from their ear‐lier belief that the words were spoken after communications devices were deliberately switched off

The voice communication came at 119am two minutes before the planersquos transponder was seemingly turned off While the last signal from the Acars data communication system came earlier at 107am it was not due to transmit again until 30 minutes later Hishammuddin the interim transport minister told reporters meaning that could have seemingly been turned off at any point before 137am Despite increased focus on the potential actions of the pilot and co‐pilot no possible motive or connection to extremist beliefs had emerged with friends and family describing them as moderate and balanced

Tuesday In yet another indication that someone with a high degree of knowledge about airliners was behind MH370rsquos change of course the New York Times said the initial westward turn by the plane came about not through use of the manual controls but after a flight computer was reprogrammed most likely by someone in the cockpit Quoting unnamed US officials the paper said such an operation would have to be carried out by someone with considerable knowl‐edge of such systems At yet another press briefing Hishammuddin said the search for the plane had ldquoentered a new phaserdquo of international co‐operation with other countries taking on an increased role The entire search area he said was now 224m square nautical miles With no definite news about what might have happened to the plane and the people on board the father of one Chinese passenger told reporters he and other relatives were considering staging a hunger strike to push for more answers

The following days Now suggestions that there may have been a fire on board the aircraft is just another theory circulating the news channels Also the possi‐ble discovery of an aircraft wreckage being located in the South Indian Ocean and rumours of a possible suicide by the aircrafts pilot The world is searching for an aircraft an aircraft that might just join the list of strange mysteries alongside Flight 19 and many many otherhellip lsquoWe hope and pray that is not the casersquohellip

Sohellip Your probably thinkinghellip Where does the UFO stuff come into this It pretty much started with a couple of videos on Youtube from DAHBOO77 claiming that a UFO was spotted on radar at the time flight MH370 disappeared and that the following radar footage 24 hours later had mysteriously altered sparking a conspiracy theory Below you can see the radar readings and an apparent UFO

In the radar reading on Chart 1 you can clearly see flight MH370 on its normal trajectory and also an unidentified radar signature that on occasion changed to the signature of an aircraft However when monitoring the unknown objects flight it appeared to move faster than known civilian aircraft speeds and at one point seemed to be stationary for a while The second radar reading a day later shown a completely different version showing no UFO and flight MH370 mak‐ing some unusual turns in flight There are a number of further videos posted by DAHBOO77 I would suggest you taking a look at Here are the two Youtube links to the two radar readings abovehellip

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=5JpbZZKqxy0 httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=hNZtz‐HVy6c These posted videos on Youtube certain seemed to have stirred up the conspiracy believershellip Though I do agree that the whole incident has been a bit of a media circus and that there does seem to have been different stories being presented each day One cannot help thinkhellip something doesnrsquot ring true

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

ldquoTrying to contact ghosts in a haunted castle is a little like covering yourself in BBQ sauce and walking into a cannibal villagerdquo My friend Ben is a little concerned about tonightrsquos paranormal investigation I canrsquot blame him ‐ this is my second

ghost hunt and after the first solo attempt I have enlisted my burliest weight‐lifting friend for morale support Not that physical prowess will be much defence against

the spirit world and we both know it thatrsquos why Irsquove also signed us up with a professional team who run regular ghost hunts up and down the country and promise expert investigators free use of a range of paranormal equipment and most importantly a real hoax free experience As we approach Oxford Castle ndash a place brimming with ghostly goings on ‐ I wonder with more then a little mild

trepidation if Benrsquos analogy is indeed accurate

The Oxford Castle Visit By Aaron Millar

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Missing Malaysia Flight 370 By Steve Mera amp Relative News Items

Now for the real weird stuff Circulating throughout internet websites Youtube and Facebook is a few statements from none other than David Boyle owner of the Exhibition of the Universe situated in Blackpool UK and known lecturer of the profound David considered as a rather outspoken gentleman had this to sayhellip

David claims to have obtained information from an ET Channeller claiming that Flight MH370 had some issues and apparently was going down when the air‐craft was suddenly rescued by Ashtar Command using their huge 3000ft long cylindrical spacecraft referred to at the Sky Dreadnaut All passengers and crew along with their luggage was beamed off the aircraft Passengers were informed of the ET intent so use them as willing hostages in hope of forcing world peace and the dismantling of all nuclear weapons Apparently the passengers were all well and happy to assist the ETs The Malaysian 777 was also rescued and taken to the hollow earth entrance in Antartica Details of Davidrsquos talks in regards this matter can be found on his website at

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom

The two videoed lectures can be found at the following links

httpexhibitionoftheuniversecom2‐disclosure‐of‐ets‐and‐malaysian‐airlines‐flight‐mh370 httpexhibitionoftheuniversecomprobe‐international‐ufo‐conference‐22‐march‐2014

As you can imaginehellip A number of people have remarked on the ill timing and shameless ap‐proach to this delicate incident After all families are still grieving for their lost loves ones Though David may not be on his own in regards his belief in ETs abducting the aircraft passen‐gers and crew many others keep their thoughts to themselves demonstrating tact and respect As for myself I really do not know what to believe I just hope that the families prayers are heard

Truth News International also beefed up the conspiracy theory with a small news item about suspected terrorists of flight MH370 They remarked upon the released photographs to the media of two suspect passengers which later sources announced that neither had known connections with terrorism and that the two passengers using stolen passports were not considered to be a threat to the flight Below you can see released camera footage of these two passengers Note that the media camera still shows the two passengers with the same lower portion ie same legs feet flooring etc Though most would simply believe a simple camera still error some will certainly read into this suspecting fake photography etchellip

Here are just a few of the outlandish remarks people have made in regards the where aboutrsquos of flight MH370

1 The Airliner passed through a portal that teleported them to the Moon Such portals are either referred to as a natural phenomena that governments of the world are aware of and keep secret or the portals are manufactured by extraterrestrials and are used com‐monly for transportation highways from one location to another

2 That the American government have purposely hijacked the aircraft and have used high tech equip‐ment to fool radar coverage of the aircraft and that the aircraft secretly landed at an air force base and immediately placed in a huge warehouse acting as a faraday cage so to instantly block all forms of commu‐nication The pilot had no choice but to follow their orders

3 All passengers crew and their luggage were beamed off the airliner by ETs who went on to relo‐cate the aircraft to Antartica in a hope to bring world peace

The theories go on and onhellip More recently the discovery of possible aircraft wreckage in the South Indian Ocean has led to the belief that the ill fated flight MH370 crashed in mid ocean and that that captain may have carried out this action as a planned suicide Whatever happened there still are more questions than answers How did flight MH370 manage to suddenly drop in altitude to zero feet just before disappearing yet continued to fly make several trajectory adjustments and travel in a different direction for hundreds of miles without being picked up on radar It has been confirmed that the aircraft transponder can be turned off by the pilots but a radar signature would certainly remain

Whatever happened to flight MH370 remains unknown along with the missing passengers and crew If the whole event was planned as part of a terrorist act then no one has yet come forward claiming that they were responsible or asking for their demands to be met If there is a masterplan at work here then Irsquom sure this will just be the first phase of the event and more startling news will follow If it was just a simple act by a pilot bent on suicide then Irsquom sure many questions will need to be asked In the meantime I guess the only thing you can dohellip is watch this space

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

ldquoTrying to contact ghosts in a haunted castle is a little like covering yourself in BBQ sauce and walking into a cannibal villagerdquo My friend Ben is a little concerned about tonightrsquos paranormal investigation I canrsquot blame him ‐ this is my second

ghost hunt and after the first solo attempt I have enlisted my burliest weight‐lifting friend for morale support Not that physical prowess will be much defence against

the spirit world and we both know it thatrsquos why Irsquove also signed us up with a professional team who run regular ghost hunts up and down the country and promise expert investigators free use of a range of paranormal equipment and most importantly a real hoax free experience As we approach Oxford Castle ndash a place brimming with ghostly goings on ‐ I wonder with more then a little mild

trepidation if Benrsquos analogy is indeed accurate

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Built by the Normans in 1071 Oxford Castle was used as a prison for more then 700 years and houses many a tale of suffering and torture within its stone walls During the English Civil War as many as sixty people were locked in the confined space of St Georges Tower 24hrs a day beaten and shackled to the wall deprived of food and water and left to rot in their own filth One of the most famous residents was Mary Blandy ‐ hanged in the grounds of the castle in 1752 for murdering her father ndashnumerous reports claim to have witnessed her ghost still walking the castle mound today And then of course there is the lsquoOxford Castle Cursersquo called the lsquoBlack Assizersquo of 1577 it was said that Rowland Jenkes having had both ears cut off pronounced a curse on the court housed at Oxford Castle and within a few weeks a mysterious plague hit the city killing hundreds

Next door to the tower the story doesnrsquot get much brighter used as a prison until as late as 1996 and still housing many of the original stone‐wall cells the building reeks with claustrophobic menace But it is down in the 900year old crypt that things become decidedly creepy First built in 1074 these underground catacombs originally formed part of the castle church and were largely used to house the freshly dead Inside the air is always dark and always cold and the low stone arched ceilings press down with the weight of many souls It is also down here that our evening will begin but first we need some tips from the pros

Our host for the evening Wayne ndash a friendly thirty‐something chap brimming with unabashed pre‐hunt excitement ndash tells us how to get the most out of our night ldquoIn this group of people tonight there are going to be hardened skeptics there are going to be people who completely believe and then therersquos going to be a bunch of people sitting somewhere on the fence Wherever you are on that continuum we need you to ndash excuse the pun ndash keep your spirits up Yoursquoll get back what you put in Imagine wersquore light bulbs and the spirits are moths the brighter your light ndash your energy ‐ the more the spirits are going to be attracted to yourdquo

Free for guests to use are various pieces of high‐tech equipment such as EMF metres and K2rsquos which apparently register changes in the electro‐magnetic field that might indicate the presence of something otherworldly But one of the oldest pieces of kit is also one of the most effective ldquoDousing rodsrdquo Wayne tells us ldquoTwo bent bits of metal People go off looking for water with these and thatrsquos exactly what theyrsquore for ndash water companies still use dousing rods today But when wersquore doing paranormal investigations the theory be‐hind them is that being conductive yoursquore going to be throwing your energy through them and be connecting and interacting with the energy around you ‐ which is hopefully spirit energy in these kind of environmentsrdquo On Waynersquos instruction we begin by asking the rods to show us different positions that indicate yes and no so that we can use them later to ask the spirits questions Wayne explains the same concept is at work in glass move‐ment table‐tipping and even Ouija Boards ndashldquoYou put your energy into the

object touching the glass or table lightly but not making it move and then ask spirits to come forward and create physical movements that you can use to communicate with themrdquo Ben and I look at each other grinning widely ndash BBQ sauce or not we were ready to talk to the other side But then we hadnrsquot factored on the crypt Once we were inside and all lights were extinguished Wayne began by asking us form a large circle skirting the perimeter of the space ldquoIrsquom going to ask you to hold hands because if you then start to experience things like being touched you know all the hands are accounted forrdquo He then proceeded to play some decidedly scary Gregorian chanting from an I‐Pod in the corner of the room ndash ldquoOften when you play music of a certain typerdquo He explains ldquoIt draws spirits forward because they have a connection with that type of musicrdquo Hollow voices echoed through the dark recesses of the crypt low bell tones seemed to hang for an eternity in the stagnant air ldquoWhichever spirits are fans of thatrdquo Ben whispers in my ear ldquoI donrsquot fancy meeting tonightrdquo After the music had finished medium Bill Nicholson moved to the centre of the circle ‐ ldquoIrsquove got a sense of something not right like Irsquom going insane Irsquove got sorcery Irsquove got black arts straight away I know you say this place is a crypt but there was something else here as well There was something not right down hererdquo My eyes flit over the swirling blackness unable to focus When I turn to Ben I can see nothing despite him being only an arms length away I have the impression someone is in between us ldquoIrsquove also got a man in spirit come towards merdquo Bill continues ldquoHe says his name is Jacob He says it wasnrsquot me it wasnrsquot me I was here but I didnrsquot do itrdquo Wersquore in‐structed to break the circle and hold our hands out in front of us ldquoJacob if yoursquore thererdquo Bill says ldquocan you reach out and touch one of our handsrdquo In the pitch darkness not even fingertips are visible shapes move around in the shadows ldquoOh God do we have tordquo the voice of the woman next to me whis‐pers she hasnrsquot let go of my hand and Irsquom glad for it

Later I am taken upstairs to the abandoned prison wing of the castle and led down a long stone‐arched corridor torchlight picking up faded black steel doors with etched white cell numbers in close proximity either side Wayne scrapes open the last cell door ‐ ldquoRight 10 minutes in here on your own no lightsrdquo he says with uncontained excitement This is my lsquolone vigilrsquo ndash my op‐portunity to have some one‐to‐one time with the spirits As the door slams shut behind me only the moonlight from a tiny crescent window illuminates the claustrophobia of the space Earlier in the evening Medium Bill had picked up the spirit of a small boy called Seth in this cell ldquoI feel real sadness in hererdquo He had told us ldquoWhatever he was locked up for it was for some‐thing really patheticrdquo

In the corner a dark wood wardrobe had been left creaking ajar and an old heating pipe reverberates intermittent hollow bangs like the echo of some coded prison message system The normal groans of an old building I tell myself but then I remember something else Wayne said ‐ ldquoYour rational mind is going to kick in ndash but itrsquos not always the case ndash sometimes yoursquore

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

irrational mind and your gut feeling is there for a reason Whilst we want to debunk an idea we equally so donrsquot write it offrdquo So I pluck up the courage to look closer to where the sounds are coming from something is inside the wardrobe but I canrsquot see what it is As I lean further still whispering assur‐ances to Seth in internal monologue I see bones A skeleton hangs there on display The pipe bangs again and I jump to the back of the room slamming my fists on the door to be let out Afterwards co‐host Matt ndash a self confessed ghost junkie ndash leads a small group of us to the second floor and a tiny padded cubicle used to house the most violent criminals including kidnap and murderer Donald Nealson ‐ the notori‐ous lsquoBlack Pantherrsquo We sit cross‐legged on the floor spreading a Ouija board before us Despite the emotional intensity of our surroundings and a growing vehemence in our proclamations the glass remained resolutely inert Undeterred Matt decided to get out a lsquoGhost Boxrsquo explaining that ndash ldquoIt scans all the radio frequencies and picks up a form of static The theory is that any spirit thatrsquos with us ndash it can use that static to convert the EMF into wordsrdquo Sadly however all we managed to get was a lot of white noise and random snippets of Oxfordrsquos cheesiest late night radio But then suddenly just as we were packing up to leave disappointed we heard six footsteps in the corridor that disappeared as quickly as they had arrived ldquoThatrsquos got to be flesh and bloodrdquo Matt says standing up to check outside the cell door but the build‐ing was empty and we never heard the sound again

Later in St Georges Tower a small group of us knelt beside a small wooden table touching our hands lightly upon its surface Wayne places an EMF me‐ter beside us ‐ ldquoIf you walk up to an electric socket this green light will change to a constant flat redrdquo He explains ldquoBut because wersquove not got any electrical interference up here what wersquoll do is ask for a spirit to draw closer to us and physically touch it themselves and see if we can get it to flicker redrdquo Despite Waynersquos best efforts the lights on the K2 remained green however it wasnrsquot

long before something else entirely unexpected began to happen The table beneath our fingers began to rumble Within minutes it was shaking steadily and then tilting on two legs rocking slowly back and forth and sliding across the floor Even in the dark I could see Waynersquos huge smile ‐ldquoNo matter how much I do this Irsquom still like a kid in a sweet shop when it starts to happenrdquo And perhaps thatrsquos also the point Not everything was convincing and therersquos always explanations for what did occur as Wayne readily concedes ndash ldquoYou can never 100 percent say whether a paranormal experience is real because you just donrsquot know Therersquos always an element of possible suggestion and I know itrsquos possible to make a glass move without you intending to because of slight unconscious muscle movements Equally Irsquove got to put myself now in the firm believer category because I canrsquot write off a lot of what Irsquove experi‐encedrdquo

As I turn to Ben at the end of the night grinning as he grabs some dousing rods and a Ouija board and shouts for me to climb with him to the top of the tower I think I get what a ghost tour is all about As Wayne says ldquoWe donrsquot understand everything about the planet There are things that we donrsquot yet know In the same way it hasnrsquot been proven that there are spirits it hasnrsquot been disproven eitherrdquo And that exploration of the unknown is something rare and precious and exciting ldquoItrsquos like being a kid againrdquo Wayne says and BBQ sauce or not I have to agree

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

This is number eight in a series of books about the long running phenomenon of UFOrsquos and Ufology and if the rest in the series match the same impeccable standards as this one then they are a lasting and fitting tribute to the people who wrote them This volume which includes a swathe of sightings across the entire UK is focussed on the year 1980 which was when the subject of Ufology was still very much in the ascendant One thing that did delight your reviewer was the clear implication that the authors regard Ufology as more than just a lsquonuts and boltsrsquo affair something that would gladden the heart of the late Gordon Creighton of the redoubtable Flying Saucer Review (FSR) At more than 500 pages this is indeed a lavishly illustrated well documented and meaty tome that covers a whole gamut of encounters but the one that resonated most with this reviewer is what is perhaps one of the best authenticated sightings ever anywhere anytime and that is the famous Rendlesham Forest encounter This iconic sighting took place over two nights and was witnessed by American airmen from the nearby joint RAFUSAF airbase and fortuitously most of them are still with us to give their version of what was seen something that the book uses to its advantage As with many seminal en‐counters these accounts have not altered or been embellished in any way and still carry the stamp of authenticity about them While not the only subject matter discussed at circa 200 pages it does take up a fair bit of room but given the near‐unique nature of the sighting that is not an issue here I can only congratulate John Dawn and Brenda for continuing with what is for them clearly a labour of love and can only marvel at their tenacity in providing such an accurate painstaking detailed and im‐mensely readable account of a still ongoing phenomenon that still puzzles and infuriates in equal amounts

HAUNTED SKIES ‐ VOLUME 8 ‐ (1980)

This romp around the night side of High Wycombe is very entertaining indeed this is mainly due to the engaging and involving manner in which the author Eddie Brazil writes The author who has also co‐authored a definitive account of the famous and reputedly much haunted Borley Rectory informs us from the outset that he has had first hand experience of the lsquoother sidersquo since he was a child in South London This involved phantom footsteps (his grandmother heard them as well) plus doors spontaneously opening as well From this rather unnerving beginning the author developed an abiding interest in the paranormal and started to investigate and the paranormal in all its guises These include pubs hotels manor houses and other old building he also found that local woods and open spaces such as Tylerrsquos Green and Pughrsquos Wood also had their share of spectres This especially true of Pughrsquos Wood where a wartime case of a double child murder seems to have left it cursed by the spirits of the children The killer was a twenty six year old gunner later hanged at Oxford Castle Perhaps we should retain capital punishment for child murder who knows it might serve as an effective deterrent for this heinous crime These last two parts of the book are particu‐larly effective and absorbing The book also mentions Sir Francis Dashwood and the notorious Hellfire Club where he and his gang of aristocratic roueacutes boozed womanised and frolicked in a labyrinth of tunnels Fortunately the au‐thor does not disappoint and Sir Francis is also well represented A first class piece of writing and well worth a place on the bookshelf of any ghost hunter

HAUNTED HIGH WYCOMBE

Price pound999

This rather weight tome from David Wilcock is the natural follow up to lsquoThe Hidden Science of Lost Civilisationsrsquo and it makes a truly fascinating (if slightly unfocussed) read What the author is saying is not dissimilar from a valid point made by other researchers over the years and that is that everything is somehow interconnected to everything else he calls this lsquoThe Law of Onersquo and also that the universe is in a way sentient and given the right condition it can communi‐cate with us This reviewer knows at first hand that this to be the case and has seen truly astonishing examples of synchronicity occur sometimes on a daily basis However the remarkably explicit lsquoLaw of Onersquo appears to originate from channelled sources and therefore should be viewed in that light The author also sees fit to introduce the Illuminati and the NWO into the mix and Irsquom not sure if that necessarily helps or not but it does widen the appeal of the book which to be fair at every stage is nothing if not immaculately researched Another idea floated in the book is that the stuff of life ie DNA may have been formed by the action of gravity This is the first time I have seen that idea but it seems to be a reasonable hypothesis and it certainly resonates with the other notion of the anthropic universe or that the universe seems to have been specifically designed to create life wherever it could Ah but why and by what and the author sets out his ideas about that too Overall this is a thought provoking and stimulating read and although you might not agree with everything the author says its well worth the ticket price go and buy it

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover and presents a well produced sequential set of pictures that just about defines the UFO genre through the images taken of these most enigmatic craft What the author does not do however is say whether they are all genuine or not The book opens with the earliest photographic image taken of UFOs and continues on through the 1950rsquos right up to the present Strangely enough what does not appear in the pages are the photographs attrib‐uted to George Adamski and given his reputation that is probably no bad thing The same applies to Billy Meierrsquos lsquoPlaedian Beamshipsrsquo which are also conspicuous by their absence probably for the same reasons That said there is nothing for Bonnybridge either Other than that all the classic im‐ages are here everything from the McMinnville sighting the Lubbock Lights right on to such absolute classics as the Belgian Triangles There is also one that is very close to your reviewerrsquos heart the un‐derside of an apparent UFO taken by Phil Trevis near the BP Refinery at Grangemouth Scotland I interviewed Phil and visited the site and I am in no doubt that the guy is 100 genuine and he photo‐graphed something genuinely anomalous that is clearly a construct of some kind but what Ahhelliptherersquos the rub One from 2010 taken at Aceojeja in Tenerife shows another construct of some kind It is clearly not a bird and not an insect either as the debunkers would have it but a structured craft of some kind although whether or not it is non‐terrestrial is quite another matter The last shot was taken in Texas and shows two craft set against storm clouds Again these do not seem to have been rigged or faked This book is worth every penny of the cover price and should serve as an excellent work or reference for any Ufologist requiring a ready work of reference

OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH TROJAN HORSES

The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us of prophets and prophecies and gods and demons It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space time and physical matter‐forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension

John A Keel (March 25 1930 ‐ July 3 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies In the 1950s he spent time in Egypt India and the Himalayas investigating snake charming cults the Indian rope trick and the legendary Yeti an adventure that culminated in the publication of his first book Jadoo

In the mid‐1960s he took up investigating UFOs and assorted forteana and published his first knock‐out UFO book UFOs Operation Trojan Horse in 1970 The book shredded the then trendy nuts‐and‐bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history

Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises‐and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions Other than a few corrections this Anomalist Books edition essentially follows the original 1970 edition of UFOs Operation Trojan Horse

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

There can be no doubt as to the significance of Europersquos ancient con-structions on the human imagination the singular atmosphere greeting

visitors to each standing stone burial chamber or earthwork stirring emotions and spurring thought about our distant ancestors and their civilizations It must though be their venerable age the striking link

they serve between today and seemingly the dawn of mankind which is most conducive

These monuments surround us speak to us in hushed tones of the dis-tant past and as such serve as fuel for all manner of speculation from dormant natural energies to geologic gateways for extraterrestrials

Certainly the disputes debates and scholarly arguments that have con-tinued over their origins and purpose are the clearest indicator of their

collective worth and importance to us if only in firing the senses

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Page 33 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Almost beyond our capabilities is the power to grasp the chronology involved in our development as a species Human beings were in existence some half a million years ago in the West of Europe alone and from 80000 years ago it seems they were ritually disposing of their dead While this does not directly suggest religious beliefs and practice it does indicate either belief in an exis‐tence beyond physicality or at the very least a perceived need to honour those deceased Within the Palaeolithic era these early ceremonial acts were carried out with apparent regularity and early forms of art were being expressed France and Spain enjoyed symbolic art possibly as long as 25000 years ago (South‐West Francersquos Pech Merle a subterranean treasure trove of basic pattern work animal drawings and apparent human figures) while Britain was enduring one of Given the time scale involved it is a suitably complex web of information nonetheless with the various types of burial across Europe cave art and figu‐rines (most popular being the lsquoVenusrsquo images of the fruitful mother) from Russia France Austria and elsewhere the development in human creativity during this period are fundamental not just as a clear starting‐point for some form of civilisation but also as an arcane and tantalising draw for our intrinsic curiosity The Neolithic age is only slightly less obscured by the mists of time though just as many questions remain Whereas the Mesolithic era had offered albeit fascinating displays of paintings in Altameira Spain and nearby stretches of Europe Neolithic man made a more striking progression from his Palaeolithic forebears and constructed sizeable tombs barrows and earthwork enclosures as resting places for the dead Various types of tomb have been identified in the British Isles alone with cairns (a heap of stones with clearly marked sum‐mit) long barrows (a tumulus with underground passage) and more simple passage graves all existing within relatively close proximity A variety of detail is apparent within tombs of the Neolithic era but it is the burgeoning use of circular forms that is the most notable development here Whether this preferred shape denotes a symbolic reflection of sun and moon and therefore religious observance remains open to debate

Just as possible is its practical use for gatherings allowing individuals to best survey one another in a large group though this option is far less appealing Tombs of a circular construction can be found in Scotland Cornwall the Ork‐neyrsquos and at numerous other sites Variation is as apparent in the contents that each site bears as it is in the location of these sites some producing care‐fully placed individuals others groups of bodies and occasional animal re‐mains Circles were no more apparent than with the hengersquos that began to be formed across Europe the best known being Stonehenge and Avebury Wilt‐shire These sites have been continually studied and appraised being central to even the most outlandish suppositions but remain no less mysterious for the effort Viewing the remains today we cannot help but consider their im‐port through our twenty‐first century perceptions of life We read into the actions of their creators processes natural to ourselves and superimpose instincts that we hold about our existence onto them in the hope that those instincts are inherent within the species and thus serve as a link Context is frequently the greatest barrier in understanding the abstract and that is pre‐cisely what these ancient haunting sites are ndash a physical representation of manrsquos earliest experiences made abstract through long‐lost knowledge

Folklore Spins its Web

Stories and the verbal transfer of knowledge were vital to the Celtic way of life with reports from Roman sources suggesting that vast amounts of infor‐mation were memorised rather than documented due to the sacred nature thereof Though in time this would jeopardise much that was passed on par‐ticularly as Romanisation and Christianisation altered irreversibly the spiritual face of Britain it did ensure an immediacy and energy to poems tales and rites that would establish a long‐developing folklore tradition across the coun‐try It is no surprise that each location of prehistoric engineering was granted a colourful mythology that the woods knolls and copses became the heart‐land of the imagination A famous (and highly contentious) account of Stonehenge dates from the twelfth century and Geoffrey of Monmouthrsquos History of the Kings of Britain The text chronicled how Merlin the magician had transported every stone to

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Salisbury Plain through his magical art after unknown giants had first used their magic to send them from Africa to Ireland Cornwallrsquos Cheesewring is another such site of magic This strangely tilting pile of rocks was said to be the dwelling place of a Druid who offered an inex‐haustible golden cup to weary travellers When one knight grew angry at fail‐ing to drain the cup of its libation he rode away with it and was promptly buried by a fall of rocks nearby Confirmation was found for some in the nine‐teenth century when a golden cup dated c1500 BC was uncovered at a nearby cairn lsquoKing Arthurrsquos Graversquo Though the Cheesewringrsquos formation is said to be natural rather than man‐made its magical heritage is no less im‐pressive than Stonehenge both speaking as they do of benevolent conjura‐tion and enigmatic wisdom

Smaller more isolated sites were also considered as special including those believed to propagate fertility or cure illnesses The holed stone of Men‐an‐Tol in Cornwall had children passed through it suffering from rickets and seek‐ing good health while County Antrimrsquos Holestone in Doagh saw young cou‐ples clasping hands through its small hole as a blessing for their marriage And Boroughbridge Yorkshirersquos lsquoDevilrsquos Arrowsrsquo were said to have been caused by the Devilrsquos foiled attempt to obliterate the town of Aldborough from nearby Hove Hill The impressive stone arrows stand up to 225 feet high and create an alignment of 570 feet Glastonbury Tor purported by some to have been a site of sun worship due to the ascending spirals which top the site was beautifully tied in to the Ar‐thurian legend Arthurrsquos remains were said to have been discovered at the nearby Abbey in the twelfth century actually inside a hollowed out tree trunk beside his wife Guinevere From Arthurrsquos time it has been suggested that the castle that originally stood atop the Tor was the final resting place of the sun king and that it would be from there that his triumphant return would be enacted Home to all manner of fairies the Tor was said to have witnessed their disper‐sal at the hand of Saint Collen who had warned locals as to the true devilish nature of the beasts before answering the call of lsquoKing Gwynrsquo and showering the assembly with holy water The lsquotrue religionrsquo then was the victor ndash yet the fantastic stories continued as ever The holy wells that can be found across the country (over 1000 in England alone according to Janet amp Colin Bordrsquos Mysterious Britain) were believed to be medicinal and entertain cures and curses while the impressive hill figures (the creation of which spans cen‐turies) adorning Cerne Abbas Windover Hill in Sussex and Uffington Berk‐shire were acknowledged at various times as fertility symbol primitive dowser and ancient homage to Saint George respectively Where scientific studies apply their rigours to these sites folklore and alle‐gory are stripped of any worth discarded Even in a spiritual quest to uncover the true purpose of the monuments the stories of kings wizards devilry and healing can be easily swept aside but they do prove the timeless quality that the landscape around us has on our collective psychology

Essentially these sites stir something deep within us and however they are interpreted we are fascinated as much by the land as by our place within it

Cosmic Alignments

In the 18th century Dr William Stukeley carefully studied the Stonehenge and Avebury sites in an attempt to understand their original construct and pur‐pose Horrified witness to random attacks on stones at the latter site by locals seeking building materials the doctor would have been aggrieved all the more in later years when Avebury had gained importance as a religious envi‐ronment Other locals disturbed by such apparent heresy against the Chris‐tian faith took to annually demolishing stones and obliterating Aveburyrsquos grandeur Stukeley overcame the iconoclasm however and made careful drawings even as parts of the site were reduced to rubble He identified two avenues of stones stretching out from the great circle each a mile and a half long Stuke‐ley recognised in his plan a symbol utilised in Egypt and other ancient lands that of the Solar Serpent and with it the insinuation of cosmic alignments that would so appeal to later generations The meaning of the symbol per‐taining to the highest form of creative being and sacred inner truth can in no way have escaped the doctorrsquos attention at the time as these faculties would have been fully stimulated for such a vision to present itself in the first in‐stance

The Ley Men Cometh The lsquorevelationrsquo apparent in William Stukeleyrsquos vision at Avebury is no less true of Alfred Watkinsrsquo vision in 1921 as he visited the village of Blackwardine Herefordshire and a glance at his map revealed to him in a flash of inspiration the straight line that seemed to align its hilltops and ancient ruins His imagi‐nation took hold and the vision intensified to become a complex network of lines made up of all ancient earthworks creating one huge and intentional system These lines had he suggested been created by lsquododmenrsquo using staffs alike those of the chalk lsquoLong Man of Wilmingtonrsquo Sussex and connected locations including crossroads notches in earth ridges and fords

1921rsquos Early British Trackways and 1925rsquos The Old Straight Track both laid his case out with no real sense of hyperbole or sensationalism Somewhat ironi‐cally given the responses to his work here and the more outlandish directions his theory of leys would be taken following it Watkinsrsquo own summation as to a purpose was rather sedentary Leys (a term he etymologically traced to suggest lsquochurch placersquo or lsquoenclosurersquo) were lsquohellipwanted to go long distances to the salt supply spots Utility was the primary object Later on magic religion and superstition blended with the systemrsquo Primarily a practical solution to communal everyday needs the lines he saw had only taken on a religious significance as the years saw a developing superstition grow alongside them A researcher fundamental in the 1970rsquos re‐emergence of ley research was Paul Devereux who took over editorship of The Ley Hunter journal in 1976 A determined effort to catalogue and review the countryrsquos ley lines soon dis‐missed the popular lsquoSt Michaelrsquos Linersquo as more of a corridor than a line yet championed the Devilrsquos Arrows lines two leys passing through the trio of 30‐ton monoliths

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

One pierces the central lsquoarrowrsquo and runs for eleven miles the other crosses two arrows and runs five miles to Hutton Moor henge Particularly striking here is that all sites on these lines are of prehistoric origin negating the need to defend a mixture of tumuli barrows and churches It was the apparent strength of the few leys like this one that heartened the apologists and fuelled their continuing endeavours Of course the thousands of years continued to take their toll alongside the critics Not only did the land rapidly alter in the name of technology and com‐merce it proved impossible to isolate many leys without having to suggest that medieval churches had largely been built on existing religious sites (a known practise of the Christian conversion in Britain yet in some cases diffi‐cult to prove) or that natural formations had taken on ritual importance ex‐actly because they were sited on a ley The evidence could only go so far absolute proof all but impossible to gain

Earth Energy There is scientific proof that certain energies run within the earth though the limits of their affect on the planet remain contentious Magnetism measured in units like the gauss is today much weaker a force on the planetrsquos surface than it was thousands of years ago and it has been concluded that a 5 de‐cay has occurred over the last 150 years alone NASA studies in the 1970rsquos read variations strongest at the poles and covering the globe all less than 1 unit of gauss Gauging what links exist between earth magnetism and the ley lines is impossible particularly as many modern studies have continued to interpret the trackways on a celestial rather than geologic basis Considering the country by the former approach Katherine Maltwood had rediscovered the Elizabethan magician John Deersquos Glastonbury Zodiac in 1929 With the Arthurian grail quest as her inspiration she traced the jour‐neys around Glastonbury and nearby sites only to discover that ancient monuments charted patterns which mirrored the signs of the zodiac such as Aquarius which here took the form of the life‐giving Phoenix spanning the Tor and Chalice Well Critics pointed out the vagueness of several symbols the lack of markings on the ground to delineate between them the unex‐plained rejection of certain stars over others in the alignments but the zodiac was considered true by many who simply had the vision to see it As with much else discussed empiricism was seen only to lead so far in this manner of quest which by its very nature requires instinct faith and imagination Prof Alexander Thom had meanwhile managed to overturn the belief that prehistoric man was no more than a brute by establishing his use of geome‐try knowledge of the moonrsquos shifting orbit and application of the lsquomegalithic yardrsquo (272 feet) in his two works Megalithic Sites in Britain and Megalithic Lunar Observatories The results which further stirred scientific dissent were impressively carried out using the sites of Britain and others such as Carnac and helped to establish a more discerning approach to ley hunting in the 1970rsquos

Paul Devereux was a major figure in terms of refining the study of leys working first and foremost to prove their credible exis‐tence before considering the even more factious issue of what purpose lie behind them Indeed what Prof Thom had set in motion Devereux persisted with as a means of legitimising the study of ley lines The investigations which had ruled out several popular lines as inaccurate resulted in 1979rsquos The Ley Hunterrsquos Companion where Devereux and Ian Thomson con‐cluded that shorter lines with an ideal mini‐mum of five sites along them were the most accurate and more acceptable

Devereux and fellow investigator Bob Forrest continued to stringently analyse the leys and found that several maintained alignments which exceeded

statistical chance notably those lines found at the Devilrsquos Arrows more so due to the prehistoric origins that each site on them shared Paul Devereux himself has since collected a wealth of information indicating that lines crossing church sites are actually running through their graveyards a system which indicates to him a network of lsquospirit linesrsquo that anthropological studies support He cites worldwide accounts of funerary processions only taking straight routes to ceremonies and shamans travelling as the crow flies during trance states Numerous stories suggest that the only means of way‐laying a haunting ghost or vampire is to bury the corpse at a crossroads as no amount of rivers or mountains can match a confusing set of straight paths Should this concept be correct it raises the possibility that medieval man was seeking or expecting regular commune with the deceased Another direction that studies took and this at the height of 1970rsquos interest rather than in its aftermath was particularly captivating It also took the most criticism not least from the revisionists trying to rectify a semblance of credi‐bility with modern science Understanding the ley lines as marks of a very real earth energy this approach required the greatest degree of personal involve‐ment and to its followers wasis as fascinating as it could be dangerous Dowsing itself is as enigmatic as the sites it works on first being mentioned in a 1430 German work on mining Other texts from the seventeenth century onward suggest its use in the more traditional form of water divining but shed no further light on the origins of the practise

By the twentieth century dowsers had begun to use a new tool instead of always relying on forms of rod (the multi‐functional pendulum) were utilising their self‐taught skill in a variety of new ways and even had a new name for their art radiesthesia which denoted the dowsersrsquo ability to sensate forms of radiation That dowsers are also able to use their skill working with just a map suggests that the radiation involved is as yet unknown to man but the name remains just

Guy Underwood has long been an eloquent speaker on the energies which dowsers trace in the earth For him and a good many others they trace pat‐terns carved by ancient priests who fully understood and actualised the pow‐ers of nature All manner of affairs whether spiritual or terrestrial were thus managed and these paths most commonly concentrate at sites of ancient monuments and earthworks Where Underwoodrsquos lsquogeodetic linesrsquo focused primarily on underground streams of energy Tom Graves and others went on to consider the lsquoovergroundrsquo sites like standing stones that so often knitted the energies to‐gether For the dowsers themselves tapping into the energies at these sites could prove physically calamitous particularly when their ability allowed them to tap into the lsquoseventh bandrsquo of energy (the apex of seven spirals which are said to issue from the base of the stones upward and outward) Head‐aches nausea and temporary paralysis are all recorded following these ex‐periments by lsquosensitivesrsquo at prehistoric sites and link to cases whereupon people living in the proximity of disrupted energy lines have suffered exces‐sive physical and emotional hardship Examples have included breakdowns persistent illness cancer sometimes a general train of unflagging bad luck This not the dowsing is what Paul Devereux and others have an especial problem with the belief in a powerful network of energy running through the country able to affect people when the streams are obstructed or blocked by construction motorway development etc These cases have been recorded however and often dowsers have identified trouble spots or lsquoblack streamsrsquo and worked to neutralise the negative energy at play Yet again any kind of proof is impossible to record but the ramifications for believers when applied to todayrsquos rapidly expanding residential areas motorways and runways is somewhat disquieting On a national scale in twenty‐first century Britain healing the land may not be a viable option but in individual cases dowsers have managed to disperse the black streams with carefully positioned iron rods or similar markers applying

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

a form of lsquogeomantic salversquo to the spots in question Combating the increasing disharmony required an lsquoearth acupuncturersquo which Tom Graves fully sup‐ported in lsquoNeedles of Stonersquo suggesting the role that human intuition could play in healing sites Graves accepted in his work the subjectivity involved stating that the causes of seventh‐band projection may well be in the casu‐altyrsquos mind yet insists that with such genuine physical results the energy causing them cannot be dismissed as non‐existent simply because we do not yet know how to quantify it Likewise he suggests that the monuments them‐selves may have been positioned due to an equally immeasurable sense of intuition on the part of their builders and must not be misinterpreted as ran‐dom because of it Accounts that the sites are guarded by elementals or beasts specific to them also falls into the self‐projection category Visions and invocations that have stirred certain forces all hint at internal responses of perception onto the stones and earthworks but again must be considered as much from the emo‐tional or psychological result as from tangible experience one may be likely to experience a vision if he or she already believes in the forces but any such occurrence can just as easily be said to stem from the individualrsquos sensitivity to genuine phenomena as a figment of their imagination Ghost sightings and the proliferation of UFO visitations or ethereal lightshows at these sites follow suit Entirely personal and beyond any means we have to measure these events are something of a catch 22 ndash their happening may well focus on ancient sites or energy lines yet the beliefs that lead observers to these esoteric conclusions can be said to have fuelled the experience in the first place What remains is a range of extrasensory phenomena which seem heightened by and frequently in the vicinity of humankindrsquos oldest surviving constructions Regardless the scorn poured on many theories expounded the influence they exert on the human mind continues thousands of years on unabated

A Lost Knowledge Stone circles man‐made mounds and tombs have long spoken to humankind of its earliest days With more built as the ages passed art ritual and myth only served to enhance their importance to us establishing a tantalising web through which to appreciate them Any truth was lost long before the beliefs began to formulate all since only coming as close to re‐establishing that lost knowledge as each individual felt that it did Every age has a sense that its time is a degradation losing precious ground in terms of mind and spirit The justification for such a philosophy aside these sites have always stimulated belief that secrets which might be our salvation are still around us awaiting rediscovery From the chaos of existence we perceive a system all the more beguiling because there are no means to formalise it there is no rule to de‐fine it by As important trading routes water lines networks of empowering sacred

spaces processional routes for spirits or a living source of tappable energy the land as we understand it is a precious source of life and knowledge Even in the instance that we through this speculation have given the earth its power then so be it ndash these sites have become ritual grounds and great sources of inspiration therefore they are precious to us

The inescapable problem remains that if these sites were spiritually significant sources of power they likely were built with much the same approach as many researchers in the field have used to interpret them Intuition and imagination would not create an easily proved system nor would it necessar‐ily make sense Equally studies into these sites cannot make wholly rational sense as more than logic is required to garner a purpose from the sometimes irrational and spiritually focused human mind Revelation is needed For all the difficulties this abstraction raises it is nonetheless incredibly uplift‐ing that the very cause of the problem the intuitive mind and its quest to advance is the clearest link between the monument makers and us Statisti‐cal proof may be a long time coming if we can ever find a means to achieve it but as it was with the generations that created such wonders it is with the quest itself The questions are as salient as the answers we might find and what better stimulus to our higher reasoning and insight than these ancient treasures of the earth

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

Mystery of crop circle revealed It was a publicity stunt by tech company

Complicated crop circle appeared in Salinas Valley California last week Anonymous YouTube video claimed to show the markings being discovered by two friends after they saw green flashing lights in a field The CEO of tech company Nvidia Corporation

admitted the stunt Sunday Nvidia Corporation marketers created the marking to promote a new computer chip Believers claimed the markings were made by extra‐terrestrial life A mysterious crop circle that appeared in a California barley field a week ago has been explained it was a publicity stunt for a tech company Nvidia Corporation a company that makes chips for computers

and smart phones owned up to the stunt at a press conference in Las Vegas CEO Jen‐Hsun Huang said he had given his marketing department a small budget and a mission to promote the com‐panys new Tegra K1 chip The marketing department delivered with the crop circle and accompanying YouTube video garnering

widespread attention

The crop circle near Chualar California contained a stylized image of a computer chip and the number 192 in Braille On Sunday the

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Flying saucer or out‐of‐focus seagull pooping Slides in Snowdens latest leak are fake UFO images used to deliberately spread misinfor‐mation claims expert

The latest official document to be linked by Edward Snowden is a presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ The presentation is called The Art Of Deception and includes three slides showing what appear to be UFOs Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson has said that skeptics have already dismissed the images as fake He believes spies are given the images along with guidelines on how to spread misinformation via the inter‐net

Such deception can be used to help coverup more mundane terrestrial activities like testing secret aircraft or military exercises he said A set of slides purporting to show UFOs are part of the latest batch of government documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden The slides belong to a Powerpoint presentation created by the British spy agency GCHQ (Government Communications Head‐quarters) Three of the slides depict alien spaceships but theyrsquove been dismissed by one UFO expert as fakes lsquoThe presentation fea‐tures three UFO pictures on slides 35 to 37rsquo Nigel Watson author of Haynes UFO Investiga‐tions Manual told Yahoo News

lsquoThe first is a black and white picture of a UFO over Redbud Illinois taken on 23 April 1950 the second a screenshot of a UFO video by Arturo Robles Gil filmed in Mexico and the third was taken on 01 August 2011 by a holidaymaker at Black Head Trenarren near St Austell Cornwall

(To the left Nigel Watson) They have been explained respec‐tively by skeptics as a hub cap thrown in the air a deflated Mylar balloon and an out‐of‐focus seagull taking a poorsquo In fact Watson believes the document is really proof of government attempts at mind control and the slides are part of guidelines for spies on how to spread misinformation via the internet lsquoThe main evi‐dence for the cover‐up of UFO reports and manipulation of UFO beliefs as revealed by the documents released by Edward Snowden is contained in a Powerpoint presentation called The Art Of Deception Training For A New Generation Of Online Cov‐ert Operations lsquoThis was produced by the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) British secret intelligence agency and features fifty slides related to using the internet for psychological operations (psy‐ops) It was produced by a unit called the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) for presentations to the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other agenciesrsquo

Watson believes that governments know that supposed UFOs can be used to control the minds of citizens so the fact that Snowden leaked these slides could be a big blow to the agen‐cies that use the presentation to train spies

lsquoGovernment agencies are still aware of the power of the belief in UFOs and that they are willing to use the internet to exploit these beliefsrsquo said Watson lsquoSuch deception can be used as a means of covering‐up more mundane terrestrial activities (like the testing of secret aircraft or military exercises) or to under‐mine the credibility of ufologists lsquoThe overall point of the presentation is to discuss how the internet and modern media can be used to discredit people and to spread deception Unfortunately there is no ex‐planatory text with the UFO pictures so we can only speculate about what point they were being used to makersquo

company announced the Tegra K1 a new chip for tablets and smartphones that contains 192 computing cores or mini‐

computers for graphics applications In the new Tegra K1 the graphics component based on its Kepler design used in high‐

end PCs The chip would makes for a tablet more powerful than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 game console while consuming one‐twentieth the power Weve bridged the gap ‐ weve brought

mobile computing to the same level as desktop computing Huang said The 192 cores in the new chip compare to Nvidias previous flagship the Tegra 4 with 72 graphics cores Huang demonstrated

near photo‐realistic simulations of environments and human faces run on the new chip He said Epic Games will adapt the next version of its Unreal Engine the basis for many popular games so that it will work on the chip He didnt announce when the chip would be available or any gadget makers that were adopting it

The giant markings caused believers to claim that aliens had landed in Salinas Valley while crop circle experts were quick to claim that the shape which resembles a computer chip was a hoax An anonymous video surfaced on YouTube that claimed to show the first discovery of the circle after two friends noticed

flashing lights in a field and got out of their car to investigate The first pictures of the markings were taken by photographer Julie

Belanger of the 111th Aerial Photography Squadron who flew over the site near Chualar ten miles south of Salinas Berlanger told KSBW It was beautiful Quite beautiful I believe its possible that aliens exist but I dont know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message The YouTube video claimed to show two men finding the markings after they witnessed green

flashing lights next to the road

The footage showed the men leaving their car and climbing over the fence into the field While the green lights flickered few more times the cameraman focused on the flattened plants At one point one of the friends said Dude are you seeing this Dude this is a crop circle After walking in the field for a couple of min‐utes the men appeared the panic and run back to their vehicle A friend and I were driving on Chualar Canyon Road south of Salinas California before sunrise and THIS happened the YouTube user known only as Cannot Say commented on the video Needless to

say pretty wild but we slipped away and its too good not to share Created this account since I dont want this tied to me Still not sure what to make of it Many people were not convinced

that the markings were proof of an alien visitation

The Monterey Herald reported that the site was being protected by security guards on Monday but they would not name the client they were working for Jeffrey Wilson of the Independent Crop

Circle Researchers Association also told the paper that there were several signs that the circles were made by human rather than

extra‐terrestrial life Wilson pointed out that the marking was too well aligned with the road the center of the circle resembled

braille and that the YouTube video could have been a form of viral marketing My guess is that it is commissioned work for an advertisement Wilson explained to the Herald Or a commis‐

sioned work for a production company making a documentary on crop circles or for some kind of film

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Who you gonna call Ghost hunters called into haunted store after CCTV caught glass spontaneously flying off table of its own accord By Alexandra Klausner

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering onto the ground The Mail Online spoke to an employee at the store who said that those who work there hear strange sounds and whistling with no apparent source The tenant upstairs hears noises coming from the store after all the employees have gone home The store was once someones home residence Dont believe in ghosts A spooky surveillance video from a store in Gilford New Hampshire has even skeptics reconsidering their opinion of the supernatural

Footage from the Ellacoya Country Store in Gilford shows a glass cake tray top being mysteriously thrown from the table and shattering on the ground after store employee Heidi Boyd leaves the room Upon hearing the noise Heidi rushes back inside to see what the rau‐cous was and is terrified to discover that a glass object managed to propel itself from the table and into a scat‐tered pile of sharp glass shards Store owner Steve Buzzota told WMUR that while objects havent traveled by them‐selves before to his knowledge custom‐ers and employees have sensed a ghostly presence and have even felt their shoulders being pulled The video was first shared on the Ellacoya Barn amp Grille Facebook page which is con‐nected to the store with the tag line Haunted much

Since then skeptics have questioned the validity of the tape Some say they think that the glass was yanked from a string out the window As a WMUR reporter pointed out however the win‐dow doesnt open The Mail Online called the store to inquire about the event and other ghostly happenings What employees and neighbors experi‐enced was more chilling tales of the bizarre Employee Nicole Brandt was not at the Ellacoya Country Store at the time that they glass shattered but she said that strange sounds occur from time to time with no apparent source She said that when she works at the deli counter cutting meat she hears people entering the room but when she turns around to greet customers no one is there You cant see whos up front she said It sounds like someones there and no ones there She also said that someone could hear whistling sometimes She said that the restaurant connected to the house was originally a barn but that the store was once a per‐sons residence She doesnt know first‐hand who lived in the home The tenant upstairs from the store chimed in and said he heard strange noises He said that after the store is closed and every‐one has left the vicinity he starts hear‐ing noises downstairs as if someone were there He can hear what sounds like someone or something coming from up the stairs walking down to the seemingly vacated room

Dr Roger Leir researcher of alleged alien im‐plants dies

Dr Roger K Leir has died according to a March 15 post at the late podiatrist and ufologists website Alien Scalpel The Southern California researcher and author was widely known throughout the UFO community for his surgical removal and study of what some believed to be alien implants from the bodies of alleged alien abductees Preliminary reports suggest Leir passed away while awaiting foot surgery related to a 2010 car accident that occurred while returning home from the International MUFON Symposium He apparently battled a long and unspecified illness as indicated in posts on Alien Scalpel including an April 2012

post concerning calls for donations and a June 2012 post about a tribute and fundraiser

Leirs controversial work was well supported by many yet strongly criticized by others He claimed the retrieved alleged implants demonstrated extraordinary qualities consisted of amazing material and baffled prestigious laboratories Others were significantly less impressed such as Ryan Dube of Top

Secret Writers In an April 2012 piece Dube acknowledged some points that added support to Leirs body of work yet also found it assumptive to conclude the objects in question were extraterres‐trial in nature even if they actually had the qualities as claimed He also called into question the medical validity of conducting

such surgical procedures Writerresearcher Robert Sheaffer drew similar conclusions Sheaffer attended the 2012 tribute and

fundraiser and subsequently published a related post at his blog Bad UFOs He cited a number of aspects of the proceedings and assertions commonly presented by Leir and associates that were extremely difficult to accept without substantially more docu‐

mentation and review Such assertions included claims of an alien implant that would scrupulously avoid surgical removal and abilities to scan potential alien abductees in order to identify

implants among others

(LeftmdashSuspected Alien Implants) The post today at Alien Scalpel described Leir as a great family man that will be missed Those wishing to post condo‐

lences and make financial donations may do so at the

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Dr Barry Taff has been on the forefront of the academic study of psychic phenomena for decades and has long documented the con-nection between psi events and UFOs His own psychic experiences began in childhood and he has no doubt of the reality of some form

of coupling between human consciousness and a field of energy that we do not as yet understand Taff spoke on March 9 2013 at a meeting of the Close Encounter Research Organization which ear-

lier this year added the word ldquointernationalrdquo to its name and is seeking to branch out worldwide in the dissemination of UFO and alien abduction information The meeting was held in Thousand

Oaks California a city located just north of Los Angeles

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Dr Barry Taff A Veteran of the Psychic Wars By Sean Casteel

He opened his lecture by reciting part of a poem by TS Elliot that he felt eloquently expressed the fluid nature of time and the human mind ldquoTime present and time pastrdquo the poem reads in part ldquoAre both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibilityrdquo Taff moved on to declare ldquoThere is no paranormal Itrsquos normalrdquo He said that long‐term memories are not stored in our brains theyrsquore kept in a remote source outside of us which relates to the TS Elliot poem and his grappling with the nature of memory and time From there he began to recount his own history of psychic experiences beginning with an incident that happened when he was ten years old In grade school a young girl approached him and he asked her what the weird bag was that she was wearing He didnrsquot know at that age that such a bag was used after a colostomy The young girl screamed and told the principal who called Taff into his office and asked if he had looked under the girlrsquos dress or sneaked into the girlsrsquo bathroom Taff told the principal he had x‐ray vision and pointed out that he could see that the principal had unhealed keloid scar tissue himself The principal then called his parents and they said ldquoDonrsquot askrdquo Taff joked that if he had a dollar for every one of his psychic experi‐ences he would be a whole lot wealthier As a child he predicted the assassination of John Kennedy to his parents a couple of years before the event His parents insisted on making a bet in the belief that young Taff would be proven wrong They didnrsquot speak to him for ten days he said after the prediction came true In 1968 he was visiting a girlfriend at her house when he decided he wanted some iced tea which his girlfriend didnrsquot keep around At that same moment Taffrsquos father saw him enter the house go to the refrigerator and drink iced tea from the pitcher But he had never left his girlfriendrsquos house It was difficult to photograph Taff as a child he said and once when he and a colleague were visiting a TV show producer a photograph was taken of him and his colleague in which the other person showed up perfectly but where he had been standing the photo showed only a flash of light With this strange history behind him Taff be‐came a researcher of psychic phenomena in an academic setting eventually earning a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineer‐ing from UCLA in 1975 From 1970 to 1987 he was involved in the study of remote viewing ldquoWhat we saw blew us awayrdquo he said When using the techniques of remote viewing according to Taff both past and future information are available and it is possible to see information from a great distance The evidence suggests that our brain consciousness and space‐time work in the same way As part of the testing of remote view‐ing Taff and his associates were given remote viewing ldquotargetsrdquo and when they reported what they saw they provided information on Trident subma‐rines The tape recordings made of the remote viewing experiments were later confiscated by representatives of an unnamed intelligence agency be‐cause of the classified details contained therein Taff and his group later per‐formed additional work for intelligence agencies with mixed results ldquoUnfortunatelyrdquo he said ldquowhen understanding the implications of remote viewing and the nature of time one is forced to conclude that there is no such thing as free willrdquo He offered a story by way of example In college he was working with a girl in the psych lab when he had a dream of her going home and being involved in a car accident In the dream he saw a driver he thought was himself so he broke off the relationship in the hope that he could change the future The girl got involved with another man and he was the driver in the accident that occurred Nothing could alter the fulfillment of the precognitive dream and thus the will of the participants was not free ldquoIrsquove lost a lot of friends and colleagues because of my work in this fieldrdquo Taff lamented because they were frightened or put off by what he said or things that occurred in his presence His work on a case that became the novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo brought him some degree of fame when in August 1974 he and some of his colleagues in para‐psychology met a woman who said her house was haunted and that she had been repeatedly raped by ghosts Taff wrote a big ldquoPrdquo on her report form meaning he considered it a psychiatric case Then the womanrsquos neighbours

started seeing things A skillet flew out of a cupboard The bedroom felt like it was refrigerated but it wasnrsquot There was an odor of decaying matter A green light double the size of Taffrsquos fist appeared and slowly turned into the form of an upper torso When it disappeared two of his assistants passed out The team later sealed off the rooms to prevent any light from coming in and prepared a grid on the walls so they could pinpoint any strange things that happened They shot hundreds of frames of film that showed nothing un‐usual but everyone saw things in the room during the filming The team members wrote down their observations before conferring together and found that their stories matched when they discussed them Based on this Taff helped write the eventual novel ldquoThe Entityrdquo saying that not everything in the book actually happened He appears as the slightly fictionalized char‐acter ldquoGene Kraftrdquo A movie starring Barbara Hershey and Ron Silver was released in 1983 A capsule recounting of the plot is included in ldquoLeonard Maltinrsquos Movie Guiderdquo that reads in part ldquoA woman is raped repeatedly by a giant invisible mass Her psychiatrist thinks itrsquos all in the mind until para‐psychologists set a trap for the critterrdquo

There is an article posted on Taffrsquos website at httpbarrytaffnet entitled ldquoThe Psi‐UFO Connection What On Earth Is Going Onrdquo In it Taff writes of a rather fascinating yet obscure relationship between paranormal experiences and UFO encounters ldquoWhy is it that many CE‐IIIrsquos and IVrsquos have paranormal fallout following the eventrdquo he asks ldquoWhy is it that certain people who have frequent paranormal experiences are more likely to experience a UFO encounterrdquo He goes on to say that it is obviously not scientifically valid to try to explain one phenomenon by recourse to the other but there is a ldquolongitudinal continuityrdquo between the two kinds of events that may one day help to explain them both In his lecture to CERO International he offered the case history of Judy an‐other woman with whom he was romantically involved There is a more detailed version of the story in the aforementioned article on his website ldquoI met a beautiful girl on Valentinersquos Day (1977) while investigating a case in the mid‐Wilshire district of Los Angelesrdquo Taff writes ldquoThis girl was so physi‐cally stunning to me that it was impossible to stop staring at herrdquo The case he was investigating was a very weak one and no follow up work was done But he and Judy ended up in a very intense relationship As time passed there were repeated episodes of RSPK (Recurrent Spontaneous Psycho‐Kinesis) activity culminating in ldquoa large glowing sphere of light emerging from the lumbar region of her backrdquo while Taff was giving her a massage The clocks in Judyrsquos condo would all frequently ldquodesynchronizerdquo and run at different speeds ldquoAll of this paranormal activity was kind of an added bonus to being in a relationship with herrdquo Taff writes ldquoAt least I thought it was Boy was I wrongrdquo He said that they both felt it was a perfect relationship and that

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

Dr Barry Taff A Veteran of the Psychic Wars By Sean Casteel

Page 35 Phenomena Magazine March 2014 - Issue 59 wwwphenomenamagazinecouk

Judy turned out to be a gifted psychic who also worked with the psi training groups at the UCLA lab as well as on missing persons cases Taff expected that he and Judy would be engaged within six months but ldquofate had some‐thing else in mindrdquo He began to have repeated precognitive dreams in which he was given the message that their romance would end on July 22 1977 The reasons for the split were never provided in the dreams He never told Judy about the dreams because she might misinterpret what he said as ex‐pressing a desire to leave her The dreams stopped and his happiness was restored When July 22 came around he had almost forgotten the dreams entirely He awoke to find Judy beside him in bed sobbing and shivering un‐der the covers She asked him why he hadnrsquot helped her the previous night When he asked her what she meant she told him that she ldquohad awakened to find the room brilliantly lit but the lights were not on She was levitated up out of the bed eventually finding herself in a round metallic‐walled room where she was strapped to a metallic table around her wrists neck ankles and abdomen There were tiny men who had skin like a snake or reptile and a face without ears or noses with large black eyes who were poking and prod‐ding her everywhere especially her vagina and rectum Judy could hear the little men speaking though their lipless mouths that were not moving ldquoThey kept saying that they werenrsquot going to hurt her even though thatrsquos exactly what they were doing The next thing she remembered was waking up in bed with me soundly sleeping next to herrdquo Taff says that he asked her if she knew anything about UFO abductions which she did not Although she was very interested in the paranormal UFOs held no interest for her He finally coaxed her out from beneath the covers and was shocked to find that Judy had bruises at her neck waist wrists abdomen and ankles ndash consistent with her claim that she had been restrained on the metallic table And she was bleeding from every orifice bearing out her story that she had been poked and prodded in those same locations Judy subsequently had a complete breakdown ldquobecoming almost totally delusional with overt signs of dissociation She never sought any help from anyone and she never even marginally recovered She became a religious zealot but of a very unusual type Needless to say our relationship ended on that day just as my dream had predicted From occasional contact with her over the subsequent years she claims to have been re‐abducted many times Itrsquos one thing to lose a po‐tential mate but not to something like thisrdquo At the CERO International lec‐ture Taff touched on another case that he also writes about in the same online article He received a phone call in the mid‐1970s from a local televi‐sion network executive who complained about poltergeist activity in his home Over time he reported occasional luminous anomalies disembodied voices banging noises and problems with electrical items in the house Both the executive and his family seemed ldquoquite grounded normal stable and well‐adjustedrdquo Eventually the manrsquos calls ceased Then one night while the man and his wife were on a road trip in northern California they saw what they thought was a small burning plane about to crash into the hills to their right

(Above Dr Barry Taff stood next to the CERO International poster)

ldquoThey drove up to where they assumed the plane had crashedrdquo Taff writes ldquoand after rounding a bend they ran into a very unexpected and terrifying sight Sitting on the ground in front of them was a classic flying saucer maybe 30 to 50 feet in diameter And if that wasnrsquot difficult to enough to absorb there were several diminutive humanoids in tight‐fitting flight suits moving around the area surrounding the saucer as if looking for something The beings were about four feet tall with grayish‐brown skin large black almond‐shaped eyes with no apparent nose or outer ears Classic grays in every respectrdquo

(Above Dr Barry Taff with Yvonne Smith) Suddenly several of the humanoids became aware of the man and his wife sitting in their car observing the scene One of the creatures pointed a tubu‐lar‐shaped object that emitted a bright light at the couple The next thing the pair remembered was being back on the highway many miles away and sev‐eral hours later After experiencing this classic abduction scenario the two began to have disturbing dreams about their missing time most of which they were reluctant to discuss with anyone They sought psychological coun‐seling but were assumed by mental health workers to have both had a psy‐chotic break for which medication was recommended The abduction ex‐perience was little known in the mid‐1970s so this response from the men‐tal health community is not surprising The man and his wife began to ex‐perience strong emotional mood swings indicative of dramatically altered personalities They eventually divorced with the husband becoming particu‐larly volatile and erratic which led to his leaving his lucrative job in television in a newfound state of anxiety anger and bitterness What had begun as poltergeist activity had progressed to an alien UFO ab‐duction and left great misery in its wake ldquoWersquore dealing with something far more advanced than we arerdquo Taff added during his lecture ldquoand technology that is like magic to usrdquo But change is not the goal in physical science he said pointing to the fact that hardly anyone in mainstream science takes these issues seriously There exists an inverse correlation between belief and whether new ideas will work he said What the scientists say wonrsquot work will and what they say will work wonrsquot Imagine what would happen if a vehicle was unveiled tomorrow that used an entirely new form of energy We need what Taff called ldquoa change in the way we perceive normalityrdquo UFOs are the most classified information the government has he continued Add gray aliens to the mix of our own racial and ethnic problems and one can imagine the results We should not fear an alien invasion so much as the problems wersquove created for ourselves Both psychic phenomena and UFO contact involve an energy of a type we donrsquot understand Taff said toward the end of his lecture Most people are not sensitive to it and can live a long time without ever having any experiences with it Others are sensitive to it ldquoItrsquos thererdquo Taff said ldquoItrsquos real We are always a (central) part of the equa‐tionrdquo

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13

  • This was in 1985 and on my way home one late afternoon I stopped to browse in a local bookshop A book recently published jumped out at me ldquoRead ME Read MErdquo it was shouting I picked it up and flicked through the pages Genisis The First Book of Revelations by David Wood I spent the evening reading the book and found it quite absorbing It mentioned several times about the number 666 and somewhere in the book David Wood said that through his research for the book he found that 666 became active in his own life and may well play a part in the life of any reader Two weeks after reading the book the postman delivered my morning mail One of the letters was an account statement from my bank I opened it and started to check the figures I was astounded to see that someone had paid pound666 into the account My account back then was not very healthy and pound666 seemed like a gift from heaven and I started to think about all the things I could do with the money I then had a struggle with my conscience A part of my mind was telling me that it was not my money and another part was trying to convince me that the bank could afford it In the end I thought I would wait a couple of weeks and see what happened In the meantime I telephoned a friend of mine and told him about the coincidence He purchased the book himself and then informed me that David Wood was giving a lecture in London near his home He said he would go along and hopefully get a chance to tell him my story He telephoned again a few days later to tell me he had been to the talk and had spoken to David Also when he purchased his ticket the number of the ticket was 666 13
  • Just over four weeks passed by and I thought to myself that if I had heard nothing by the next day rightly or wrongly I would accept it as a gift from above to help me through this rather lean period and would go into town and take the money out of my account The postman came early the next day and to my amazement there was a letter from the bank saying that a mistake had been made and they were adjusting my account and deducting the pound666 The lsquocoincidencersquo of this timing was the amazing thing in this instance - and I wished that I had withdrawn the money earlier Two weeks later I received another statement and was startled to see that 13
  • once again pound666 had been paid into my account This time I thought to myself that I would only wait a couple of days and then take the money out The morning of the second day I received another letter informing me that there was a mistake and the pound666 was going to be deducted Was this a coincidence It had never happened before or has it since The book informed me that something of that nature might happen and it did The amount was exactly pound666 both times No odd pennies exactly pound66613
  • Rolling the clock forward to 2008 it was late summer and I was recovering from an injury that nearly caused me the loss of my legs and I had a strong impression to go for a walk by the river As soon as I stepped outside the front door I had an overwhelming image and feeling in my mind that I would find a pound10 note Instead of viewing the trees and river and other things of interest my eyes were glued to the ground I walked by the river crossed over the bridge walked along the far side and crossed back at the next bridge to go through the allotments and then back home Leaving the river behind I took one of the side streets that went over the old canal and shortly after that I would turn left and make my way through the 13
