EDITORIAL
Have you ever noticed that when dismissing anything supernatural debunkers the weapon of choice is normally the ‘straw man’. They take a subject which is easy to disprove and discredit and use it to discredit the entire phenomenon. Simple, right?? Well no, it’s not! There is an easy way to wrong‐foot the debunkers and it’s this: the believer has no need to prove anything; it’s up to those who make the challenges to either disprove your paradigm or substantiate what they say. Just be careful of the subject you choose to promote though, because some border on the lunatic and can leave you with egg on your face. Just remember that a sceptic might be capa‐ble of change but a debunker never will, they dare not because their tight‐laced world would collapse.

Thought‐Forms: Tibetan Tulpas. The Tibetans describe them as phantoms; they are “nirmita” and “nirmana,” defined as beings who are built or constructed. The term "tulpa" was rendered into English, and is defined as “thought‐form.” What does this have to do with extraterrestrials? Perhaps everything, or at least it may be a piece of the enig‐matic puzzle as we explore the enormously diverse UFO phenomena. Thought‐forms which resemble hu‐mans in appearance and behavior. Diane Tessman delves deeper into this truly strange phenomena. Page 17: The RSVP Data Logger. Today, to show that spirits, ghosts or otherworldly entities exist, a paranormal investigators main objective is to capture evidence either by video, photo or audio. The problem with this is even after the introduction of infrared, full spectrum, thermal imaging and some of the most technical of recording device, the scien‐tific community will not accept this as proof of life after death. (Research Society to Verify the Paranormal) RSVP‐UK attempts to make a difference with some specialised equipment. Graham Smith explains. Page 21: Mysterious Somerset. On 2 February 2010, while staying with the Kerton family at the gothic building known as Higher Farm, in the isolated Somerset hamlet of Chilton Cantelo, north of Yeovil and just shy of the Dorset border, I was introduced to a unique and ghoulish family heirloom. Unlocking a small cupboard stationed above the door to the cider cellar, the owners gingerly removed from its recesses a varnished human skull, missing its lower jaw, which tradition has attached a very famous legend to. Daniel Codd reveals… Page 25: The Iron Lady ‐ What Do Her Hands Say? Palmistry is a rather old and traditionalistic form of divination that many believe to be practiced by Gyp‐sies… A phenomenon that sometimes seems to produce accurate results. Margaret Thatcher was Britain's longest serving and first woman prime minister and served between 1979 and 1990. She became famous for her uncompromising stance on her de‐industrialisation policies and the economy, and through her toughness with the Soviet Union she earned the nickname "the iron lady". Terry Stokes reveals...

Hillary Clinton may have gained access to top secret UFO files according to information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. Billionaire Philanthropist, Laurence Rockefeller, apparently requested that Hillary use her position to send him government top secret X‐files on UFO and ET research. Hillary is also being accused of deleting over 30,000 emails from her private email server, some of which would have contained evidence of the X‐files which have, until now, been kept secret. Edmondo Burr reveals...
Page 39: A Sussex Mystery ‐ A Glimpse into the Future, or an Unexplained Mistake? The little Sussex village of Firle, with its flint and brick cottages, sits at the foot of the South Downs. Lewes, the Glyndebourne Opera House and the Cuckmere Valley are just a stone’s throw away. It is an idyllic set‐ting. During the spring and summer months, Firle attracts many visitors. Some are walkers heading for the hills; some are patrons of the historic Ram Inn. But… could this be the setting of a profound and unusual phenomena? A phenomena that allows you to glimpse the future? Angus J. Huck explains... Page 43: The Mysterious Earth Conference 2015 ‐ Did You Miss It? This years event organised by Neil McDonald and associates was better than ever. Neil who runs Mega‐lithic Tours had managed to obtain a good line up of speakers. Though I was attending and lecturing myself I was looking forward meeting up with Matthew Williams. It had been quite a number of years since I had seen him last. The event took place over the weekend of March 7th and 8th at Grimsargh Village Hall in Preston, a great venue with ample parking. Steve Mera gives a sneak peak as to what you missed.

People will often group together with oth‐ers for mutual study and exchange of spiri‐tual knowledge, and a strong leader can influence the direction of the group for good or evil, and after all, evil is only live spelt backwards. Many years ago I had the misfortune to flirt with such a group before realis‐ing they were far from spiritually healthy. I do believe they came to‐gether with good motives, but seemed blind to the direction they were slip‐ping towards, groups such as this can be difficult to get away from and those who do always experience a degree of psychic con‐tamination. It began for me when “John” (pseudonym) a mutual but casual contact, suggested I come along to a secret Christian/Wicca meeting, I did not like the sound of it, but did give my name and birth date with a photo for a reading. When next I saw John he exclaimed excitedly that there was a vacancy there for someone with my numbers, and the reading he had for me was extremely accurate. I did not like the pressure to attend the group and so refused, my friends attitude changed and he told me that no matter what I currently thought I would be drawn to it and have to go,. I laughed it off, but that night I awoke with a strange feeling that I could hear my name as a faint chant‐ing in the distance, there was also a real urge to get dressed and go in the direction of a village in Essex, and even the street name came to mind. It took all my will power to avoid the urges, and curious mental disturbance kept me awake all night. My performance at work next day was very poor and I hoped to sleep better that night. But I was very wrong, and thick, sweet, smoky type smells disturbed me that night and the telephone kept ring‐ing with no one there, and the incessant chanting was there again and I was soon got fed up. I went out of my way to see John and I was firm in my resolve that it must now stop. This was followed by an‐other very disturbed night in which I felt
once again drawn to the Essex village, and in the half light I admitted to being dread‐fully tired with weakening resolve. My memory is most vivid of what the psychic dictionary refers to as an “Eidolon” or apparition seen as a hazy reflection or
reflected image, but this was in the form of a smoke streaming under my bedroom door, and drifting toward me and growing into the shape of something almost hu‐man, it contained a smell that was both perfume and offal, sweet yet repugnant. It showed bloodstained, white, carnivorous teeth and seemed to laugh at me before the thick airless summer night produced a wind from somewhere, which dispersed the smoke figure back under the door; this disturbed me, but gave an indication of the category of entity I would be deal‐ing with, the highly unpleasant haemo‐phagists or bloodhunters. It is not generally known that the Roman Catholic rite of incense burning was origi‐nally “capnomancy” or an invitation to the air spirits, mainly the Sylph categories, to show themselves and participate in the rituals. The following night was one where I waited and waited and almost kept drop‐ping off to sleep and at last it happened and manifested, menacing shadows danced around the room as I chanted the twenty third psalm, I was numb with tiredness, and as I walked to work next day I almost was run down by a car; it was a difficult day for me. The next night I had a strange nocturnal visitor, the bedroom door was flung open during the very early
morning period, revealing my sister in a flood of light from the open door, I gasped at her that she must leave immediately as she did not realise the real danger of what was going on and that there was indeed very deep evil here.
Her reply was that it was all in my imagination and I was being so silly, At that point as my eyes adjusted to her silhouet‐ted against the light of the door I thought, “That is not my sisters’ mouth or teeth, it is too carnivo‐rous, and why has she a narrow band of pale green light surrounding her” and the creature could obviously read my thoughts, as it then van‐ished. I had the distinct feeling it was there to bite me, with its fear‐some teeth. I was ex‐hausted and emotionally numb, and wondered what would be next.
Under the pretext of bad dreams the next night I borrowed my superstitious mother’s crucifix and put it on my wall, I had been without sleep for nearly a week and had a job differentiating the real from the unreal. Lower realm spirits will be aware of this and torment sleepers in the hypnagogic stages, between wakefulness and sleep, with thoughts of sex, revenge and power. It had become a matter now of a battle of willpower, no way would I give them victory after what I had been through, friends said I looked pale and drawn. I had endured strange noises in the room all week, clicks and snaps in the dark, awful smells, boards creaking but now it grew quiet and the atmosphere grew heavy, in the still, thick atmosphere of the dark sum‐mer night, and I awaited the next on‐slaught, which was not long in coming. I felt a weight upon my bed and I refused to look, and as it left, the blankets just flew off my body, this is one of the most terrify‐ing things to do to a sleeper in the dark, and on watching the event I realised how the astral trick was done, and have when threatened, used my spiritual energy to perform the same trick myself. I was ex‐hausted and on the brink of surrender,

when the final night came, and is one I shall never forget. The hot summer night air was stifling, and I was desperate for sleep, and after an age of faint chanting in the distance, and thick smells, cracks and clicks in the room, it be‐came quiet, and I knew this was always a prelude to a real sinister happening, and a throbbing sensation began in the darkened room actually in the air itself, and I could not believe my eyes, the dirt in the carpet was sliding into a corner where a dull green light was pulsating, in rhythm to the throb‐bing sensation in the air.
The greenish light became brighter and the throbbing was as if it was developing a heartbeat, and it then began to choose its form. The form of the living bloodhunter was a huge mosquito and I felt in great danger. I disappeared under the covers, and I could hear the flapping of large wings and I was aware the thing could fly, it made a buzzing sound which told me where in the room it was, and I felt the weight of it as it landed on my bedclothes, I swished it off and it came back, this was repeated all night. I am convinced it was a giant mosquito and its bite would kill, and it has given me a fear of the creatures to the present day. Many people are not aware that the life force is in the blood, and some creatures depend on it, both in the earthly and astral realms. The creatures that live around abattoirs, and butchers shops are the most peculiar and dangerous of the astral world. A knowledge of books particularly, the me‐dieval treatise, Colin De’Plancy’s ‘Dictionaire Inferne’, and similar items, such as Russell Hope‐Robins encyclopaedia of witchcraft and demonology, and Dennis Wheatley’s, ‘The Devil and All His Works’, show very strange varieties of these crea‐tures, and strangely, under a microscope, bedbugs, mosquitoes, bats and similar do look much like the bloodhunter illustrations of the demonologists. Somehow I got through the night because it takes a lot of energy to power such a crea‐ture and I wanted to tire them out, and as soon as it started to get light it dissolved. That day I was ill and fell asleep in work and

was sent home with a warning about my continued employment. Now completely drained I could not go another night, I had taken it for a week and felt their anger growing at my resistance, I knew this night may be my last. In preparation for the nocturnal battles I had sprinkled the rooms corners with holy water, put grasses on the doors and win‐dows and put my wisdom teeth into a silver necklace making a powerful talis‐man. Throughout the world teeth are seen as the most potent of protective weapons and I have worn mine to every
single exorcism since that day. The usual thumps and bangs unsettled me, then I wrapped the bedclothes around me with my weight on them, but unseen hands still tried to pull them off. Then the bottom of the bed bumped its way to the middle of the floor and when I pushed it back it happened again, we were engaged in a tug of war for my blankets, then the feared, “quiet time”. For a creature to draw its strength from the atmosphere, a drop in temperature always accompanies a manifestation. The freezing of water is common, but the air can also be frozen by spirits and the proc‐ess is called “inspissation” and this is how the unseen intelligence changes its form from astral to physical, by taking its life nutriment from the air itself and it is this that causes the characteristic drop in tem‐perature. A low monotonous voice then in my ear began repeating. “O.K. you have won, it’s over now, it has all finished you
must sleep now, sleep, sleep, you will not need your wisdom teeth…take them off…take them off…sleep.” In my semi‐conscious state I remember saying “Yes, yes, I must sleep”, and ex‐hausted I actually pulled at them and broke the silver chain, when a voice in my other ear shouted me awake; “Hold on to them” and as I held them in my hand the brooding atmosphere in the room changed to a light airy one and I knew it was over. When eventually awake I spent the day sleeping and consecrating and psychically sealing the room against any future psychic attack, but knowing it would not be from that source. I then slept solid for two days, and ate the first real meal in a week, many people do not realise that with any psychic attack you must fast. The decaying food matter in your stomach can be a focus for lower entities to get a grip, and once into that chakra you can be at serious risk. The feel‐ings often begin with the well know “butterflies in my tummy.“ The scene from the film “Alien” where a beast bursts out of the stomach is a dramatisation of what can actually happen and meat or flesh eaters are particularly at risk. Later when I saw John approaching me he was angry. He shouted that I had just been lucky, and if I thought I was clever, well, next time I would really suffer. I smiled and walked away, but some 10 years later I would have to risk all to save another from their clutches. As I told Scotland Yard and Interpol at a recent lecture, The current trends in Brit‐ain’s foreign communities for eating “bushmeat”, which is both animal and human in origin, is breeding the most deadly of creatures to walk among us...

It has been suggested that, rather like the seductive, alarming and fantastic tales of H.P. Lovecraft, the haunting and evocative poem, ‘Kubla Khan’, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge describes an alien but genuine world glimpsed by its author. It is known that Coleridge, in common with many of the intelli-gentsia of his day, flirted with the recreational use of opium and other nar-cotics and it is therefore presumed that anything written by him under the effects of this substance was merely the product of drug induced enchant-ment. However when the effects and visions produced by various naturally occurring hallucinogens used by shamans is taken into account, mitigating factors are introduced. If, as is claimed, the use of plant extracts like ‘Ayahuasca’ induces visions of an alternate reality, which shamans’ claim is genuine and repeatable, then the words written by Coleridge take on an utterly different and excit-ing perspective. In this article shall attempt to explore the possibility that certain brain chemicals can and do cause the mind to separate from the body and journey, travelling in the eddies of the accommodating, electro-magnetic universe that ebbs and flows around us, to the alien shores of some distant reality.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred rived ran Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Of all the categories comprising the bizarre world of the paranormal surely the most fascinating yet elusive is the hypothesis of alternate realities and continuums. It is theorised that within these nebulous di‐mensions lies the ultimate truth explaining the origins of magic, ghosts, psi abilities, alien entities and other manifestations of the unexplained. While it is true that many reports of apparitions, angels and aliens overlap and to some extent are inter‐changeable, it is equally true that for mil‐lennia people have encountered and de‐scribed beings and events existing outside yet in parallel with normal experience; i.e. the truly ‘paranormal’. While many people, usually debunkers and rationalists, have, with varying degrees of exasperation, attempted to explain these events in terms of psychological abnormali‐ties, overactive imaginations, wishful think‐ing and even downright lies, there are innu‐merable instances where these explana‐tions cannot fully describe or justify the sightings. It is however necessary that the viewpoint of rationalists is understood and included because although the overriding impression gained from their opinions is one of determined desperation and a desire to deny the possibility of anything outwith their narrow world view, it helps keep para‐normal research both on track and respon‐sive to outside enquiry. At first reading the phrase, ‘to deny the possibility’, appears to be a contradiction in terms when dealing with a subject like the paranormal which, by definition, should not be possible in any conventional sense. Nev‐ertheless, one can only measure and record the many bizarre and often frightening manifestations by conventional and tested methods, all of which are generally ac‐cepted means of delivering a testable and repeatable result. While the data obtained using test and measuring devices is often ambivalent, this may not necessarily be the fault of the equipment. We should remem‐ber that we are looking for results within conventional parameters, or at least within the parameters of the human senses and the phenomena may operate outside these ranges, particularly in terms of so‐called psi abilities. Since the majority of paranormal phenomena operate at the edges of con‐sciousness, to obtain a truly balanced per‐spective it is essential to adopt an open and honest paradigm. For this to occur it is vital that a clear distinction between brain and mind is developed. To understand the difference is fundamen‐tal to appreciate the possibilities presented by the existence of the discarnate energy created by mind, in effect the energy of pure thought. At present there are several definitions vying for acceptance and ulti‐mately all are variations on the following three.

Research by Prof. Michael Persinger, a neurophysiologist at the Laurentian Uni‐versity in Ontario, Canada, indicates that the brain and its internal neurological processes are affected by the application of mild, external electromagnetic (EM) fields.
The induction of these external fields produces a variety of emotional responses in the subject which range from irrational fears to the strong impression that there is someone both present in room with them, and/or touching them when in fact no‐one is there. According to accepted scientific dogma this is attributed entirely to the effects of the induced EM field reacting with magnetite on the surface of neurones in the brain. It has only recently been discovered that in the presence of EM fields the magnetite polarises and resonates causing ionisation, which in turn releases the neurotransmitters that create hallucinations; perhaps, but is there another explanation? Is it possible that the effects of the EM fields indeed induce the mind/brain inter‐face to produce neurotransmitters and temporarily ‘open up’, recognising the presence of otherwise invisible and un‐reachable entities. One possibility sug‐gests that they are in fact already here with us and always have been, theoreti‐cally inhabiting realities existing above and below the infrared and ultra‐violet
spectrum and therefore outwith the nor‐mal range of human perceptions. If in fact humans were equipped with the sensory equipment to access these invisible spec‐trums what would we make of it, how would our brains perceive and process the additional information? Taken at face value, i.e. magnetic fields produce hallucinations albeit indirectly, the net results of Professor Persinger’s research are far reaching and astonishing in their own right with regard to sightings of ghosts and other manifestations of the paranormal. When these results are com‐bined with the findings of a Swiss surgical team who, in 2002, induced out‐of‐body sensations in a woman when they touched parts of her exposed brain with electrodes carrying a mild electrical charge, the evi‐dence seems plausible. However since it has not been conclusively established that the impressions created were solely due to electrical signals within the brain, although convention would prefer it to be this way, perhaps the alternatives are too incredible to contemplate. Is it possible that we are capable of making the transition into an altered state of reality and awareness in‐duced by chemicals? For it is here that a clear schism develops between conven‐tional science and parascience. While mainstream scientists can just about accept the findings of their peers who work in the abstract world of quantum physics, due to their training they still balk instinctively at findings that indicate the possible existence of awareness and intel‐lect existing remotely from the body. This is particularly true in the case of mem‐brane theory (M theory), a facet of quan‐tum science, which requires the existence of an infinite number of universes in the 11th dimension for the theory to function. Briefly, M theory is the direct descendant of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity with
1) Mind and therefore consciousness is the sole end result of neurological and electro‐chemical processes taking place in various centres within and confined to the brain. 2) The second argument posits that a property, mind, cannot suddenly appear out of nothing and therefore had to have been there in one form or another in the first place. This appears to be what Prof. Rupert Sheldrake refers to in his theory of ‘Morphogenetic Fields’, which refers to an alleged matrix of information that surrounds us and can be unconsciously accessed by the interaction of the mind, effectively a varia‐tion on Jung’s ‘collective unconscious’. 3) The final theory suggests that within the brain there already exist mechanisms de‐signed to interact at a sub‐atomic level with certain quantum processes extant in the universe. This may be the ultimate answer to how some sensitive people are able to contact or see ghosts, apparitions or ET’s. If indeed we as individuals are considered to emerge from a quantum soup, then when we die it is reasonable to assume that on decomposing our component atoms eventually return to the same soup in effect creat‐ing a closed loop. If this is the case, as in experiments where worms that had ‘learned’ specific function were ground up and fed to other worms and by consuming there fel‐lows these worms ‘learned’ the same function, do our atoms carry their gained knowl‐edge to the oneness of the whole? Perhaps this even reflects the belief of some ‘primitive’ tribes who consumed the remains of their dead so that their spirits continues to live on in the bodies of the living.
its four dimensions, (three spatial and one of time), which evolved into, ‘supergravity’, ‘superstrings’ the ‘non local interaction of particles’, (what Einstein termed ‘spooky attraction at a distance’) and ultimately membrane theory. It is within the alien dimensions and universes predicted by this theory, that once freed from physical limi‐tations, human (and alien) consciousness may ultimately make contact with other realities, a process that may well operate both ways. In fact our universe has been described as a bubble of foam existing in a quantum sea. Yet another incredible aspect of these theo‐ries posits that realities do not become real until someone thinks about them. This curi‐ous statement appears to have been dem‐onstrated in part at least during an experi‐ment conducted at The School of Mines in Boulder, Colorado in 1989. Highly charged particles were sealed inside a ‘magnetic bottle’ with the intention of testing their response when a laser beam was fired through the electromagnetic field. The par‐ticles altered their quantum state in greater numbers when the experiment was actually physically observed as the laser beam fired than when it was not. In other words they reacted differently when they were in ef‐fect being ‘watched’ by the laser beam, so in some sense did the particles know that they were being observed which caused them to react differently than when they were not? According to the scientists who conducted this experiment the presence of the laser beam on its own (i.e. its energy) could not have caused this to happen, so there had to be another explanation The perceived effect of consciousness upon reality has implications that truly leave the conventions of physical (and Einsteinian) science looking askance for support. The confident prediction of general relativity stating that faster than light velocities are impossible is now no longer unassailable when the behaviour of subatomic particles is observed. Among these anomalous ef‐fects is the apparent phenomenon of the ‘non‐locality’ of particles, already referred to as Einstein’s ‘spooky attraction at a dis‐tance’. This expression describes the effect on two identical particles when they are separated and one of them is subjected to a change of state, an identical change occurs in the other particle. Amazingly, sometimes this change occurs before the initiating state of the first parti‐cle changes, which indicates that the very nature of time is fluid and open to question. This very temporal fluidity may account for the common observation that a watched kettle never boils and may be a simplistic demonstration of the ‘observer effect’. Does this imply that sometime in the future we may be able to step outside time and space, in mind if not body and journey both

back and forward in time outside and independent of the physical universe? Why this is the case is not clear by any means, but nevertheless the experimental results and indications are undeniable. It is now established that mystics of all persuasions have experienced visions of other places and entities reflecting their own particular belief systems. In the case of Christian, (usually Roman Catholic) saints, this has often been expressed in images of God, Christ, the Holy Family, heaven and in extreme cases bodily muti‐lation, i.e. stigmata. In the case of reli‐gious mystics, these images and physical phenomena have normally been induced by means of meditation, extreme asceti‐cism of various kinds normally involving lack of food, sleep and other forms of deliberate physical mortification. That they experience visions is no surprise since prolonged meditation combined with lack of food and particularly lack of sleep create a serious imbalance in body chemistry particularly in the brain where sleeplessness causes overproduction of large amounts of the neurotransmitters dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and serotonin. Incidentally, the increased presence of these chemicals through lack of sleep may help explain why many sightings of ghosts and indeed ET’s take place at night, al‐though of course there may be other fac‐tors, viz. injury or psychosis of various sorts. Once it has been established that there are indeed occurrences that, as yet, can‐not be explained in rational physical terms, we are forced to the conclusion that there must be an explanation beyond the realms of conventional physics and for this we must return to the intangible con‐cept of mind and consciousness. However, for this to occur, conventional science must move outside the realms of purely Newtonian principles, sometimes called ‘objective materialism’, and look
elsewhere. The Newtonian view of reality considers that the universe and all it con‐tains function like a gigantic mechanism that can be prodded dismantled and stud‐ied by a dispassionate observer existing externally from the whole. One physicist, Amit Goswami, a professor of physics at the University of Oregon, has suggested that one of the principles de‐rived from quantum physics may be ‘downward causation’.
This means that rather than moving out‐wards from the fundamental building blocks of matter, i.e. atoms and their sub‐atomic components, given the very fact that these very elements appear to flicker in and out of existence with no predictabil‐ity, then our current model of reality is truly founded on sand. It would therefore logically make more sense to look down‐ward and inward for the truth, which has produced the fascinating concept that both humanity and its perception of reality exist because of consciousness and probability waves. Surprisingly, this theory is not new, far from it; it has been enshrined in mystical belief for millennia by contemplative reli‐gious belief stemming almost exclusively from eastern traditions. These systems of belief, which have been around for aeons before the three main monotheistic faiths, have always been more at one with mans place and function in the cosmos.
The multifaceted effects of the nature of consciousness also lead us inescapably to contemplate one more of conventional sciences ‘sacred cows’; the impossibility of perpetual motion, which is now contra‐dicted by current research into ‘Zero Point Energy’. This exciting area of research indi‐cates the existence of a source of inex‐haustible (and accessible) energy existing uniformly all around us. The energy comes from the continuous movement present in all subatomic particles even at tempera‐tures of minus 375degrees Celsius or abso‐lute zero, where no movement of any kind should occur, hence the expression ‘Zero Point Energy’ (ZPE).
Another theory regarding this ubiquitous energy field comes from physicist David Bohm’s theory of ‘implicate order’, which suggests that ZPE is the state of solid mat‐ter and energy before it becomes visible. This once again leads us back almost full circle to the subject of the paranormal and its attendant rich tapestry of phenomena. Is the state of ZPE part and parcel of the ‘Akashic Records,’ the ‘Collective Uncon‐scious ‘and Sheldrake’s ‘Morphogenetic Fields’ and are all these definitions merely different perspectives on the same thing? The results of current experimentation suggest that indeed it might be, and the possibilities and implications are both limit‐less and fascinating. Perhaps this is perhaps best illustrated by the following observation: “Consciousness represents the most general cases of cause and effect. It can either transcend or stimu‐late the four forces known to the old phys‐ics – electromagnetic, gravity, weak nuclear and strong nuclear. It can reach into the spaces beyond time and space.
Down to a Quantum Sea: By Brian Allan

Consciousness can unite the universe or pieces of it instantaneously and even across time. It’s medium of action appears to come from an invisible potential field embedded in the fabric of time and space”. [taken from the book ‘Re‐inheriting the Earth’, author Dr Brian O’Leary, distributed by Paradigm Books, PO box 8237, Boulder, Colorado, CO 80308‐1237]. From what we have seen here it is indeed likely that all we perceive as mans immutable domain and our pride in humankind’s achievements amount no more than a few grains of sand in all the deserts of the world. The sheer scale of what quantum sciences predicts (and so
far all the theories yet tested have been 100% correct) beggars belief. Does man‐kind’s future lie within human conscious‐ness and can indeed mankind influence his ultimate destiny through the application of will? Are the effects of various psychoac‐tive chemicals the means by which this can be achieved? The apparent answers to these questions combined with the find‐ings of quantum physicists appear to lend support to one another and cast a bright light into the dark abyss of the future. It is a light than mankind should use to guide his way into the unexplored riches of the unconscious mind…
Zero‐point energy, also called quantum vacuum zero‐point energy, is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have; it is the energy of its ground state. All quantum mechanical systems undergo fluctuations even in their ground state and have an associated zero‐point energy, a consequence of their wave‐like nature. The uncertainty principle requires every physical system to have a zero‐point energy greater than the minimum of its classical potential well. This results in motion even at absolute zero. For example, liquid helium does not freeze under atmospheric pressure at any temperature because of its zero‐point energy.
The concept of zero‐point energy was developed in Germany by Albert Einstein and Otto Stern in 1913, as a corrective term added to a zero‐grounded formula developed by Max Planck in 1900. The term zero‐point energy originates from the German Nullpunktsener‐gie. An alternative form of the German term is Nullpunktenergie (without the ‘s’). Vac‐uum energy is the zero‐point energy of all the fields in space, which in the Standard Model includes the electromagnetic field, other gauge fields, fermionic fields, and the Higgs field. It is the energy of the vacuum, which in quantum field theory is defined not as empty space but as the ground state of the fields. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is one possible explanation for the cosmological constant. A related term is zero‐point field, which is the lowest energy state of a particular field.
"Zero point energy" has been invoked in science fiction movies and video games, often as an explanation for "impossible" technology that provides free energy or otherwise con‐tradicts known laws of physics. In 1986, Arthur C. Clarke published a science fiction novel called The Songs of Distant Earth which depicts a starship called Magellan that is pow‐ered by the quantum vacuum zero point energy. In the popular science‐fiction programs generally labelled under Stargate SG‐1, the intergalactic colonists visiting Atlantis often refer to and make use of "ZPMs" shortened from "Zero‐Point Modules." Although fantas‐tically powerful in terms of available energy density, these fictional energy sources still dissipate over time. The 2006 James Rollins novel 'Black Order' discusses suspected zero‐point energy research by the German military during the Second World War.

The Tibetans describe them as phantoms; they are “nirmita” and “nirmana,” defined as beings who are built or constructed. The term "tulpa" was rendered into English, and is defined as “thought‐form.” What does this have to do with extraterrestrials? Perhaps everything, or at least it may be a piece of the enigmatic puzzle as we explore the enormously diverse UFO phenomena. Thought‐forms which re‐semble humans in appear‐ance and behavior have been created throughout the centuries by highly accomplished Buddhist monks. In Yiddish, such a manifestation is called a golem. Both tulpas and golems are manifestations created to accomplish a certain task. Their creator is an adept who is capable of controlling paranormal energies; he or she has a powerful, disciplined mind. Adventurer, scholar, and author Alexandra David‐Neel writes, “Once the tulpa is endowed with enough vitality to be capa‐ble of playing the part of a real being, it tends to free itself from its maker’s control. Ms David‐Neel continues, “Tibetan magi‐cians also relate cases in which the tulpa is sent to fulfill a mission but does not come back and pursues its peregrinations as a half‐conscious, dangerously mischievous puppet. The same thing may happen when the maker of the tulpa dies before having dissolved it." (taken from the book With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet). Do extraterrestrials have powerful enough minds to create their own thought forms? How many UFO sightings and encounters are reported to be with beings who float above the ground and glow from an inter‐nal source? How many paranormal experi‐ences have been reported which feature a translucent form, male or female (nirmita or nirmana), levitating over the bed? How many UFOs themselves seem to glow, shim‐mer, morph, and then just disappear? Could an ET race have mastered the ability to create thought‐forms? Or perhaps they have had this ability for many eons on their planet or in their home dimension; perhaps
evolution simply bestowed it on them. The actual extraterrestrials could remain safely on the mothership and send out a “thought vessel” which shimmers, dances, changes form, and then de‐manifests. Or a variation, ETs could be safely within their craft hovering in the vicinity and send a thought‐form in the form of a "humanoid" to encounter humans and register their reactions.
We have no way of knowing the full range of an accomplished tulpa‐creator. Does the tulpa manifest for brief periods and swirl around the Tibetan holy man, or can the thought‐form travel miles away from its creator if the creator has strong mind‐power? The ability of ETs to create thought‐forms might be superior to the ability of human monks. Tulpas and the possibility that UFO occu‐pants create them thus accounting for some of the bigger mysteries in the UFO field, is a subject which is neglected. Yet, who among us has not tried to levitate an item or even create a thought‐form? Maybe we only fool around with trying to summon a friendly ET or create a beacon for ETs, but maybe we too have the urge to create a being with our thoughts. The principle behind tulpas is that the mind creates the world of appearances; quan‐tum physics substantiates this spiritual concept as it tells us we not only perceive our reality, we participate in making it. Essentially, we create our perceived real‐ity. The Jewish “golem” concept also sub‐stantiates this knowledge.
In the Jewish tradition, the golem is widely known as an artificial creature created by magic, often to serve its creator. In He‐brew, golem means “shapeless mass.” In the Talmud, Adam is called a “golem” meaning body without a soul. Tulpas may be created out of ‘quantum stem cells’, which reside in the universe; these ‘stem cells’ are commonly known as
‘quantum particles’ by theoretical physicists. The belief is that tulpas can become anything or anyone in appearance by controlling these quan‐tum particles; for them it is like taking a wad of shapeless clay in one’s hand and not only form‐ing it, but endowing it with a form of intelli‐gence. The truly astounding incidents are the ones in which the tulpas manage to free themselves from their creators, having gained enough life‐force to do so. Tibetan occult‐ists say that this happens logically, just as a child is
born when its body is completed and it is able to live on its own. Indeed, the quan‐tum stem cells have then successfully formed a living being. A tulpa can be like a rebellious son; uncanny power struggles have been reported between the priests and their tulpas, creator and created. We have to wonder if those UFO occupants who might create thought‐forms also run into rebellious tulpas who do not want to de‐materialize. Yes, it can get a bit silly, but the fact is, we know that any sufficiently advanced science appears as magic to less advanced beings. The subject of tulpas is a huge one, steeped in ancient spiritual beliefs and abilities. If the subject intrigues you, re‐search the specifics becasue they are fasci‐nating. It is easy for a modern westerner to be skeptical as we sit in endless traffic jams and check our e‐mail. However, Tibetan holy men devote a lifetime, living in isola‐tion and trying again and again to create thought‐forms through the formidable powers of their minds. Buddhists do not believe in a God, but they believe each individual can eventually achieve the god‐

Who is to say what we western‐ers could accomplish if our lives were de‐voted to spiritual evolution? If human priests have accomplished the creation of tulpas, it is a small step to realiz‐ing ETs could also have this ability. It would be very handy when exploring strange new worlds and would do no harm to the indige‐nous life forms, except for the fright! How‐ever, there is another possibility: As we humans stand on the cusp of becoming a new species which has advanced percep‐tion, thus as we begin to interact with UFO occupants and their ships, a new layer of the cosmic onion is coming into view in our reality. Are tulpas which are humanoid in appearance simply a part of this newly cre‐ated perception which occurs as our

evolution moves forward? Perhaps the evolving human mind actually creates some of the ETs thought‐forms who fall out of our quantum egg and go a‐wandering in the night. If a Buddhist holy man can do it, what about the human collective consciousness? What do we create? Are we unaware of the possibility that our collective human mind uses the quantum stem cells of creation (also called quantum particles), and creates the entire UFO phenomenon? This is where the subjects of UFOs and The Paranormal meet and become one. This is part of the incomprehensibly magnificent machinery of cosmic evolution. Whatever the answer, let’s proceed in peace with wonder, intelligence and, logic. Create your thought‐form accordingly!

Today, to show that spirits, ghosts or oth‐erworldly entities exist, a paranormal in‐vestigators main objective is to capture evidence either by video, photo or audio. The problem with this is even after the introduction of infrared, full spectrum, thermal imaging and some of the most technical of recording device, the scientific community will not accept this as proof of life after death.
Having investigated the paranormal for many years, RSVP UK (Research Society to Verify the Paranormal United Kingdom) has also come to the conclusion that our tradi‐tional practices and evidence we captured, can not prove anything at all. Paranormal investigators are out there to find evidence of ghosts and spirits, but how do they even know what they are looking for? Really no one is an expert on how to effectively search for something we really don’t under‐stand. As a team we have reached the point where we now desire to better understand paranormal phenomena rather than try to capture activity which we still have no un‐derstanding about.
As a research team, we decided that the scientific community are not going to take our research seriously by just capturing video and audio evidence samples. One day back in early 2014 I was watching a documentary about a tagged great white shark and how through the use of data logging equipment, which measured tem‐perature and other statistics, scientists were able to establish that this shark at a
particular depth had been consumed by something in the dark depths of the ocean. This conclusion was via just hard data that was logged by the tag. After watching this, it became evident that RSVP UK needed to invest in data logging equipment to start actually documenting some hard data and that we should strive to use this data to properly theorise and derive scientific hypothesis that even the scientific community would have to take notice of.
In 2014 a new member joined our team. This member, Gary Stimson, brought with him his scientific background (MSc in IT
and BSc in Chemistry) and work experience (senior programmer and electrical engi‐neer). With the funds made available to us and the new capabilities within the team, we were able to build our very own cus‐tomised data logger system. The data log‐ger is a custom built battery operated com‐puter system which creates a wireless net‐work around the location we are investi‐gating.
Connected to the system are sensors that detect temperature, air pressure, humid‐ity, EMF (Electromagnetic Field) and mag‐netic field. The data logging system has the capability to log data readings every few seconds which is stored to a centralised database inside. Not only does the data logger record the data and allow this data to be exported for review, but via the use of its own independent wireless network, we are able to monitor the data visually with our computers, mobile phones and tablets. This remote viewer shows instantly changes in any of the environmental fac‐tors using both dynamic charts and gauges. This tool is very helpful as it means we are
17
now able to monitor any local environment at all times without having to wait until the analysis process after the investigation takes place. We can monitor it throughout to see if we receive any abnormal readings which can then be correlated by that time‐stamp to any traditional recordings we have made (video, audio, etc). Another very important function with our new equipment is that we can log any per‐sonal experience an investigator has via a notes option in the mobile and computer application. This information is logged on the currently data logging session so when analysing the data after the investigation you will see the note logging on a time line at the point of the investigation it took place to see if any of the data can support abnormal readings at such times to help verify the experience of the investigator. Currently we have one data logging system, which we move through the location during an investigation. However our goal is to raise more funds which will be used to build many more of these loggers so that we can position them through out the location.
The equipment also has the ability to con‐nect to the internet and allow us to re‐motely view the data, so with more of these devices we could leave a set of these loggers with localised CCTV to monitor a location over an extended period of time. Since using the device we have logged data that we have found very interesting and has allowed our team to start theorising on particular readings. It has also backed up many personal experiences and recorded media. For example during a recent EVP session we saw significant changes to the environment which covered the exact times our team heard and recorded the voices and in which the data returned to baseline as the manifestation dissipated. It has al‐lowed our team to concentrate on repro‐ducing the same data in an experiment based situation and rule out non‐paranormal causes.
Hopefully this device, the data it is giving us and the theories we are now investigating will push us more into the science realm. We have been asked by many other para‐normal groups and teams to attend their investigations and assist them is analysing the data with our new equipment. We also begin a set of experiments with, Ashley Knibb and a group of mediums in February 2015 whereby we will use this equipment and our knowledge to reproduce
paranormal experiences under controlled situations and hopefully by the end of it conclude our findings in scientific journals. Today M‐Theory suggests that multiple dimensions of our universe exist as well as other worlds along side our own. Hope‐fully through our experiments and new equipment we will be able to prove or disprove that the paranormal experiences and entities we monitor are from these mathematically proven realities. RSVP UK are a team of experienced pro‐fessionals who research and investigate the paranormal for FREE. The society was formed in 2012 after many years doing paranormal events. Based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK they travel up and down the country carrying out FREE investigations for their clients. They are fascinated in researching evidence of the paranormal. Many people have ex‐periences in life they often can't explain whether it's witnessing a strange noise/voice or even something out of the ordi‐nary they've seen. These continuous re‐ports happen all over the world which is why they have setup RSVP UK to seek the truth... 'do ghosts actually exist', is there life after death, are all our minds playing tricks on us or is there a simple rational explanation to all of these happenings? Again they are a FREE service, they don't ask for a penny. They do this because they love what they do. Their investiga‐tions are carefully planned and prepared to fit around their clients needs to ensure any location is investigated thoroughly. With over 4 years experience carrying out private/event investigations, you can feel confident that any of their investigations are in safe hands from start to finish. They carry out many different techniques they've learnt from their own experiences or from other world famous paranormal investigators.

A surprising number of people still believe that a ridiculously massive, dark planet is sweeping around our solar system. This theoretical presence is usually known as Planet X, and has been blamed for everything from strange wobbles in the orbit of Uranus, which formed the basis of the original search, to a vague, hypothetical world‐ending cata‐clysm. Apocalypse aside, the trouble with Planet X is roughly two‐fold. The first problem is that what we actually call a planet is vague, and increasingly arbitrary. Pluto is not a planet. None of the other trans‐Neptunian objects are either, despite being fairly sizable worlds in their own right. Ceres is a dwarf planet, but other large objects are merely asteroids. It's complicated. The second problem is that Planet X, as far as we can tell, doesn’t exist ‐ not according to a recent infrared survey of the sky by NASA, any‐way, or any of the people who have spent time trying to find it.
Still, the search goes on ‐ and now a new tele‐scope set to go online in 2022 could help us find out if Planet X is there once and for all. NPR has a new report on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a new instrument to be built in Chile, which should be able to search for cooler, large objects at the edges of the Solar System. NPR reports that researchers like Chad Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory, think there is still a good chance that a planet as large as Earth could be found in the dark space far be‐yond Pluto. "I think, like all new discoveries, this is just the tip of the iceberg," Trujillo told NPR.
"And it will probably be quite a while until someone can explain things and most people accept their explanation." Whether or not such a planet is discovered, what is certain is that we’ll know a lot more about our home at the end of the Milky Way’s western spiral arm. And in the meantime, our list of Earth‐sized worlds even farther afield continues to grow.
The LSST is a large‐aperture, wide‐field tele‐scope attached to a 3,200 mega‐pixel camera. The aim is for the instrument to be able to rap‐idly chart moving objects in the sky of all kinds ‐ from supernovas to asteroids and, maybe, giant planets 30 times farther from the Sun than the
Earth. The team behind it are confident it will be a game‐changer: “From its mountaintop site in Chile, the LSST will image the entire visible sky every few nights, thus capturing changes and opening up the time‐domain window to the observable universe. Ultimately, in 10 years of observing, the goal is to record the greatest movie ever made.
“The LSST data will reveal The New Sky to scien‐tists and the public with manifold implications for science. Billions of objects in our universe will be seen for the first time and monitored over time. Outstanding mysteries in astronomy and physics will be uniquely addressed. With a thousand‐fold increase in capability over cur‐rent facilities, LSST is likely to make unexpected discoveries.” Meanwhile, Metro reports on the theory that the Vatican has already sent ships to Planet X filled with Jesuit priests. So that’s an alternative line of inquiry in case the whole ‘looking for it in space’ thing doesn’t work out.
“The existence of such a planet is a possibility, as we are regularly discovering new things in regards space and our solar system. However should be connect this planet by name to the writings of the Sumerians? Not necessarily, though a large planet on such an ellipse orbit could be out there, it is stretching it a bit in stating this is the infamous Nibiru the Sumer‐ians apparently wrote about. Never the less, as this planet gets nearer I’m sure we will learn a lot more”… Steve Mera: Phenomena Magazine.

Planet X Could Be Real After All And The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Will Let Us See It.
Huffington Post UK | By Michael Rundle
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
It is fair to say, in this day and age, that the disconnect between mainstream media “reality” and what is really going on is getting to the point where many people in society are not being told the full story—about almost everything and anything. In geopolitics, we see media organisations such as Al Jazeera willing to totally fabricate events and broadcast them via BBC, CNN, ABC and other licen‐sees. In what is needlessly called “alternative health”, we see the might of trans‐national drug companies steering government health policies as well as affecting personal sovereignty in the form of forced vaccinations, freedom of choice in the treatment of serious disease, and the right to be able to purchase health prod‐ucts of our choosing.
In explorations of “fringe sciences”, including subjects such as the Expanding Earth theory or the Electric Universe theory, we see the unexplained anomalies regarding energy, gravity, electricity and biology, being ignored, suppressed or ridiculed. I believe that it is in the open‐minded exploration of such anomalies, that we actually further our scientific understanding of our universe. In discus‐sion of consciousness and the paranormal, we again see mainstream media re‐porting distorted versions of events, misreporting factual data, not reporting it at all, and again, outright ridicule (snigger factor).
The fact of the matter is that people want to know more about who we are as spiritual beings, about the role of consciousness in determining how we experi‐ence life, and the role our inherent beliefs have on how we live and treat other people. I believe that the vast majority of people on this planet want to live in peace and harmony with each other, and I also believe that there are forces at work, including the military‐intelligence‐industrial complex, that desire and profit from manufactured conflict. We live in an era where a growing number of people are stepping up to blow the whistle on illegal and suppressed informa‐tion. Information they believe is in everyone’s interests to be made public. Un‐fortunately, despite the assurances of protection to whistleblowers from world leaders, we actually see the opposite—the suppression and persecution of such people.
And finally, we live on a planet where the way in which we live is dramatically affecting the entire ecosystem. Meas‐urable levels of chemicals are found in the air over the entire planet—in the groundwater of every continent, and in the oceans everywhere. Why is it noble to focus on CO2 and energy sav‐ing, while ignoring the death, disease and destruction of our habitat and life forms, including our own? I have cre‐ated the Alternative News Project (ANP), not as a vehicle to fight the current mainstream manufactured reality, but instead to provide a vehicle for like‐minded, independent thinkers, to help create something new. Some‐thing better. Instead of endless searches on the Internet, we will bring you the news, every day, right across the spectrum of hundreds of non‐mainstream news Topics. We have called it a Project, as it is not just about information—it is about the building of a global community through the distri‐bution of information. The ANP is the first time that independent thinkers of the world (i.e. you) have a centralised location not only to see more of what is going on in your world than ever before, but where you also have the opportunity to send alternative news and information from anywhere across the globe. You are the real key to our project, because by receiving informa‐tion you can inform others and by con‐tributing your knowledge to us, we can broaden our scope of services around the globe. As such, the ANP is designed to be a community‐based interactive news and information project by the people for the people.
Welcome aboard the ANP, and thanks for being part of the adventure.

On 2 February 2010, while staying with the Kerton family at the gothic building known as Higher Farm, in the isolated Somerset hamlet of Chilton Cantelo,
north of Yeovil and just shy of the Dorset border, I was introduced to a unique and ghoulish family heirloom. Unlocking a small cupboard stationed above the
door to the cider cellar, the owners gingerly removed from its recesses a var-nished human skull, missing its lower jaw, which tradition has attached a very
famous legend to. The skull is reliably believed to be that of Theophilus Brome, a prominent figure who had taken an active part in the Civil War in support of
Cromwell, and who – upon his death in 1670 – declared in his will that he wished his head to be interred within Higher Farm, while his body be laid to rest in nearby St James’ Church. This was on account of a congenital fear that, fol-lowing the Restoration in 1660, his corpse might be dug up post-mortem and
his head decapitated and taken to London to be exposed at Traitor’s Gate.
According to an antiquarian, John Collinson, writing in 1791, the skull had been disin‐terred from its hiding place in Higher Farm c.1770, and attempts to rebury it with the rest of the body in the church had resulted in ‘horrid noises portentive of sad displeas‐ure’ echoing through the premise. When the sexton’s spade broke upon trying to dig up Brome’s body in the churchyard, it was decided to replace the skull in its recess in the farm. Rediscovered in 1820, it was rev‐erently placed in its cubby hole over the cider‐cellar: where it remains to this day. The Kerton family also retain the original will attesting to Mr Brome’s last wish, al‐though this is in a fragile condition.
Somerset is a curious county to the visitor. On a sunny day, it is enchanting here; con‐versely, when storm clouds gather over‐head and the streets are deserted it can become a gloomy, eerie and even sinister place away from the towns and streetlights. Its landscape is as spectacular as it is di‐verse: perfectly flat here, ranges of hills there, heathland of gorse, heather and bracken, or else moorland or woodland, with cliffs, mounds, caves and prehistoric stones deposited everywhere.
In many places, Somerset’s hills are crowned by monuments or follies, visible for miles around, and it is little wonder that this county is such fertile ground for stories of the Devil, pixies, miracles and ghosts, or legends of strange mythological beasts. In the present day, in fact, we see these beasts of folklore represented in occasional modern reports from across the county of gigantic, prowling feline creatures. Deep within the woodland of Exmoor National Park near the Devon border, for example, there can be glimpsed by the road, almost hidden by bracken, a triangular warning sign depicting a black cat, its back arched: I can only suppose this is a visible reminder of the hunt for the infamous Beast of Ex‐moor throughout 1983.
Throughout 2010 I embarked on a journey round the hidden corners of this most mys‐terious county, its secrets perhaps best illustrated by the legends attached to its landmarks, both ancient and modern. Of these landmarks, some are national treas‐ures: at Cheddar Gorge, for example, the remarkable skeleton of an enormous cave bear can be observed within the museum that houses the discoveries made at this Ice
Mysterious Somerset: By Daniel Codd
22
Age chasm carved through the Mendip Hills. And deep within Gough’s Cave there can be observed a replica of the skeletal remains of Cheddar Man, archaeological evidence suggesting that Cheddar Man and his tribesmen very likely practised cannibalism here some 9’000 years ago.
It is also said that the gorge was created by the Devil, the earthquake‐like rent in the Mendip landscape being carved by the Devil’s fiery tale as the stone‐age inhabi‐tants of Cheddar chased him away millen‐nia ago. It is similarly said that the Avon Gorge, away to the north and dividing North Somerset from the metropolitan county of Bristol, was created AD33 on the day of the Crucifixion by a worldwide earth‐quake. And at the prehistoric Stanton Drew stone circles, on the southern out‐skirts of Bristol, the story goes that this is petrified evidence of a wedding party turned to stone by a mysterious fiddler, who later proved to be the Devil. A petri‐fied witch is similarly held to glare along the subterranean River Axe, deep within the underground caverns of Wookey Hole, this being the position she was in when she espied a holy man from Glastonbury in a little boat approaching her parlour with the intention of ending her mischief in the Lord’s name.
These stories are intriguing as folklore, but this cannot be said of the legends appertaining to Glastonbury itself, which are jealously guarded as being ‘true’, and may well – for all we know –actually be so. Glastonbury is a town perhaps now more famous for its annual festival, but for centuries before this (as well as still being so today) it was a focus of pilgrim‐age for generations. Its legend is one that I have heard repeated time and again, and although there is no evidence it is a story compelling enough in its immensity. Put simply, it is repeated that Glastonbury Abbey owes its foundation to the ‘fact’ that Jesus Christ, when a boy, travelled to these islands with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, to learn the trade of a tin mer‐chant.
At Glastonbury, Jesus supposedly assisted in building a primitive wattle hut, upon which – much later – Glastonbury Abbey would stand. This story was cited to me as
a truism over and over again while I was in Somerset, and is one that resurrects itself periodically in the media, with some aca‐demics considering this fascinating pros‐pect at least feasible. This story goes hand‐in‐hand with another of the county’s most famous legends: that Joseph of Arimathea returned to Britain 30 years after the Cruci‐fixion and helped remodel the original wattle hut into a primitive church – which through successive generations became Glastonbury Abbey. This legend is assisted by the knowledge that the abbey’s origins are somewhat shrouded in the Dark Ages of history, with William of Mamlesbury assuring us that ‘No other hands than those of the Disciples of Christ erected the church of Glastonbury.’ This assertion was penned in the 12th cen‐tury; Joseph is not specifically mentioned, however. The story received a new lease of life in December 2010, when it was re‐ported that Glastonbury’s ‘Holy Thorn’ on Wearyall Hill had been vandalised to such an extent it was thought it might not re‐cover. Briefly, the original Holy Thorn shrub supposedly sprouted miraculously from Joseph’s staff, which he had brought from the Holy Land and thumped into the ground at Wearyall Hill upon his arrival. This providential thorn bush was rooted up during the Civil War, but it had been bud‐ded and grafted so many times over that the current vandalised Holy Thorn, as well as ones in the grounds of Glastonbury Ab‐bey and the Tithe Barn, are highly likely to be the ‘children’ of the great, great origi‐nal.
For me, an intriguing aspect of these leg‐ends concerns the fact that many ancient English myths can, upon researching, be found repeated more or less verbatim in different parts of the UK; but the stories of Jesus and Joseph visiting this place on the northern fringes of the Polden Hills appear unique. They are certainly legends that, in the words of 19th century Somerset folklor‐ist C.H. Poole, will retain their ‘hold on the hearts of men until the Second Advent’, with the significance of these possible events reflected in William Blake’s immor‐tal hymn Jerusalem.
The visitor to Glastonbury Abbey can also find, near the ruined structure of the Lady Chapel, a sign with the simple inscription: ‘Site of the ancient graveyard where in 1191 the monks dug to find the tombs of Arthur and Guinevere.’ For this is where, according to a medieval scribe called Gi‐raldus Cambrenis (d.1223) the skeletal remains of the semi‐mythical King of the Britons, Arthur, and his queen were un‐earthed, together a stone tablet inscribed: Here lies buried the famous King Arthur with Guinevere his second wife in the is‐land of Avalon. Half a century before this remarkable discovery another medieval
writer, Geoffrey of Monmouth, had pro‐vided the information that Arthur had been buried at Avalon – the Celtic Isle of the Blessed – following his final battle at ‘Camlann’ in which he was mortally wounded. Although Avalon was suggested by Geoffrey to be a place of paradise, rather than an earthly location, the fact that today’s Glastonbury was at one time largely submerged fenland has led to the natural supposition that the nearby conical hill of Glastonbury Tor was this mystical place. King Arthur’s legend is likely to have been based on the warlike activities of a shadowy commander called Ambrosius Aurelianus, whose parents wore the imperial purple and were slain in the tumult following the withdrawal of Rome from these islands; this is the man referred to by Gildas AD c.540 who many believe is the template for the later hero called Arthur, whose name is not properly recorded in history until the time of Nennius. Somerset’s links with the legen‐dary king are quite impressive, whatever his origins: as long ago as the mid‐16th century the Tudor antiquarian Leland observed that the hill‐fort at South Cadbury was the basis for, if not the actual location of, Camelot, Arthur’s seat of power, and that his sword Excalibur was thrown into (what is now) the River Brue between Street and Glastonbury.
The legend that King Arthur himself rests in eternal slumber within South Cadbury hillfort, awaiting resurrection until the day Britain truly needs him, is a familiar type of worldwide folk tale. His ghost allegedly patrols this massive, fortified landmark, and I was told by the owner of the Came‐lot Inn here in the village: ‘We have been here at the Camelot for over 2 and a half years and have picked up several pieces of anecdotal evidence as to King Arthur, mainly that on Midsummer Day (or Night) a white horse with a knight (perhaps King Arthur) has been seen by many at night riding down Folly Lane. This appears to be witnessed more when Midsummer Night falls on a Tuesday, this is why years ago this pub used to close on a Tuesday! Even I have heard horses hooves at night whilst taking the dogs out for a walk, and in full knowledge that no one in their right mind would ride out after midnight around here!’
As this suggests, ghosts lurk in many places in Somerset. The ghost of a Tudor Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Popham, is slowly making its way back to Wellington at ‘one cockstride a year’ ever since he was fatally thrown from his horse at a spot near where now stands the 175ft‐tall Wellington Monument at Higher Ash Wood. In 1636 the ghost of old Mother Leakey stood on the coast at Minehead, where she whistled and whipped up terri‐ble storms, drowning sailors and also plaguing the household of her son, Alex‐ander, who plied a trade between the town and Ireland. At the site of the battle of Sedgemoor, where the Duke of Monmouth’s rustic army was systematically annihilated in 1685, I heard such comments as, ‘There are many tales of sightings of “ghosts” in this area, in particular soldiers from the battle. In the surrounding fields there is meant to be a mass grave where the Roy‐alist soldiers (having imprisoned them overnight in Westonzoyland Church) took around 250 rebels into a field, shot and buried them.’ Another atypical comment of this place of slaughter was: ‘This whole area is somewhat steeped in tales of odd things. There are always rumours of sight‐ings of soldiers’.
Other places of history, particularly Bath, are naturally steeped in the ghosts of their
own past, but there are also modern ghosts here. For instance, consider the reports of the strange ‘phantom hitch‐hiker’ in a checked sports jacket who sim‐ply disappeared from the back seat of a locked and moving car while being given a lift near Frome in the autumn of 1977. I was also told the following creepy story by a Banwell resident: ‘On the moors near Wick St Lawrence…there is a little bridge that apparently people have seen a body on. They only see the body at the last min‐ute, which makes people crash or stop quickly, and when they get out to see if the person is OK the body disappears; it hap‐pens during the day and at night.’ Lately, it has been reported that the most mundane of places – the Polar Bear Fish Bar in Bridg‐water – is haunted by a poltergeist that throws doors open, tips over heavy pans in the kitchen, hides objects…and on one occasion whistled at a woman working at the deep fat fryer. Somerset is a county where the atmos‐phere is almost conducive to mystery in certain locations, or to put it another way, it is easy to see why there is so much myth, folklore and supernatural enigmas are attached to this county, with its dramatic, rugged and often eerily lonely landscape. Somehow, to spend any amount of time here investigating this sort of thing can lead one to almost begin to believe that even the most unlikely of peculiar stories might be based on some fact. What, for instance, could be the truth behind a curi‐ous spear attached to the interior wall of the unclassified church at Low Ham, that they have said for centuries now was the weapon used to kill a gigantic, leathery‐winged dragon on Aller Hill, near Carhamp‐ton? Likewise, what of the man who alleg‐edly battled a sea serpent a mile off Cleve‐don Pier in the Severn Estuary in 1907? Or the woman who underwent an abduction experience in 1973 following a terrifying and surreal encounter with a tall, dark‐coloured, metallic, robot‐like humanoid in a field near Langford Budville, after her car mysteriously cut out on the B3187? What of the puzzled staff at Woodlands Castle, east of Taunton, who told me of the disem‐bodied voice that screamed, ‘Please leave!’ and ‘Get out!’ at them in the Autumn of 2008?
The strange and hidden secrets of the mys‐terious county of Somerset are very in‐triguing indeed, in this writer’s fascinated opinion...

Mysterious Somerset: By Daniel Codd

Margaret Thatcher was Britain's longest serving and first woman prime minister and served between 1979 and 1990. She be‐came famous for her uncompromising stance on her de‐industrialisation policies and the economy, and through her tough‐ness with the Soviet Union she earned the nickname "the iron lady"
(1) The most noticeable aspect is the over large first or Jupiter finger, the finger sizes are shaped in the womb by the bal‐ance of Oestrogen to Testoster‐one, the over sized Jupiter finger was said by the London chief Psychiatrist Henry Rey, to be a "sign of the superiority complex, some one who thought they always knew best" Indian palm‐istry teaches it to be the sign of the reincarnated master back on a mission, and she did identify with the ancient English female chief Boudica, the ancient Indian Kartikeyan system says the long first finger with a strong fate line indicates an urge for power and is a good sign for those involved in trade, Margaret’s family busi‐ness was a grocers shop, so all these observations are true on various levels.
The large Jupiter finger is always seen with huge reserves of self confidence, self belief is at in‐credible levels, these people are always right, and when Marga‐ret's cabinet were afraid of the massive industrial closures, Mar‐garet did not listen. Women with long Jupiter fingers because of the excess oestrogen will usually experience monthly breast ten‐derness or even pain, around the time of the menopause expect some difficulty, especially with Mercury amalgam fillings, I usually recommend B Complex and oil of evening primrose for this. Margaret like most of our leaders was a Lawyer, law gives no background at all to running a country, but it is involved with Masonic bankers who do. They decided to massively run down British industry, this was based on thinking derived from Milton Freidman’s "Open Market Economy" which
advocates buying from the cheapest source and if that is from the Far East then so be it. Margaret did not realise it is cheaper for the country to pay families to work, rather than pay families to sit on the dole. The name "Maggie" in numerology con‐verts to 33 the most powerful number in masonry as the 33 degrees refer to the 33 vertebrae in the spine and the degrees are
said to activate the chakras, it is fair to say that the bankers choose both our leaders and their policies. (2) The second noticeable aspect of the hand is the low short small crooked Mer‐cury or little finger, this wasted finger shows the energy from the communica‐tive sector which governs everything from verbal to sexual communication, is trans‐muted to the power or Ego finger, psy‐chologists tell us for every anxiety there
must be some compensatory activity and Margaret’s lack of interest in sexual close‐ness gave her the impetus to climb to the top of the political tree, Margaret was said to exist on 2 hours sleep each night, not conducive to a happy marital situation, this helps to explain Margaret’s untrusting nature in being unable to enjoy the bond‐ing process, with both husband and col‐leagues. Age 40 shows a landmark change and here she could have made decisions
which would have been very different for the country, she had an amazing head for facts and figures, and thought that just as a grocers shop must be able to balance its economic books, so should a country. (3) The long stiff thumb, seen here with a strong straight headline, gives an unbending will, stubborn and self obsessed somewhat, and when the head‐line goes fuzzy at the end, this can infer later life dementia. This print when taken shows the Mercury finger starting to bend and was starting to be‐come a nuisance , this is called Dupuytrens contracture, and is seen in the skeletons of Nean‐derthals and her hand and skull shapes confirms this inheri‐tance, the Vikings had this fea‐ture and they developed into the Huguenots who came from France to England in the early 1700s, this finger was then called a "weavers finger" as it was ideal to hold the threads while working the looms, sev‐eral types of surgery exist but the French is best as then it does not reoccur. Margaret had many regrets; the biggest was the sinking of the
Argentinean warship the ‘General Bel‐grano’ and this haunted her for the rest of her life. She said the decision was not hers, she had like most Librans underneath the tough exterior an occasional softness and sense of fair play and could at times show great charm and courtesy as she did to me...

UFO SPOTTED IN BOLTON UK
Mysterious object flies over during partial solar eclipse. The strange object was filmed by Phenomena Magazine’s founder, Steve Mera during the partial solar eclipse over Manchester on March 20th and he’s not on his own. As many as up to 20 independent witnesses confirm unusual sighting...
The UFO seemed to change shape, was travelling against the wind before it sped off.
By Steve Mera
I was looking forward to seeing the partial solar eclipse that took place on March 20th. At 9.13am whilst in my upstairs office at the front of my house, I was regularly looking out watching it slowly become dark at the moon started to cover the sun. Then suddenly some‐thing caught me eye. I looked up and saw an unusual object. At first it simply just looked like a ’Wing’, travelling slowly around 500‐600 feet in altitude and moving against the wind. I was concentrating so hard as to what I was seeing, the thought did not go through my mind to film it on my mobile phone which was sat on my desk in front of me. It suddenly dawned on me, I better try and get this on film. I was rushing to get my camera on before the object moved behind the large Conifer belong‐ing to next door. I managed to get around 4 seconds of the object before it was obscured by the tree.
Quickly realizing that the object would be further seen from by back garden, I grabbed my mobile phone, ran down‐stairs and out into the back garden. To my surprise the object was now further away than I thought it would be. I pointed the camera and took several
photographs. Now… as this object moved with a slight wobble, it appeared to change shape from a wing shape, to a disc shape, then to a shape that looked like a screwed up piece of paper then changed to a round ball shape before changing back to a wing shape. This morphing continued throughout the whole sighting. The object had clearly picked up speed and was accelerating away and climbing, at what seemed to be a 36 degree accent. I glanced over to my flag pole and noticed my flag was moving in a slight breeze. From this I deduced that the object seemed to be travelling against the wind and heading easterly. Though I am aware wind direc‐tions can alter at varied altitudes, but at the time there was only a slight breeze. The object made no noise what so ever, had no aircraft recognition lighting, had no engines, no tail, no wings and wob‐bled as it traversed the sky. Initially I believe it was travelling relatively slowly around 20‐25 knots and was around the size of one and a half buses.
It wasn’t long before I had discovered other witnesses throughout Salford, Trafford, Pendleton, Manchester and Bolton. Karl Davison, also a witness said: ‘The object I saw was a lot closer and just within the cloud, I could clearly make out it moving easterly across the sky and under the eclipse. The sky was a little clearer at that point and I could make out more detail and shape. From where I was standing it looked to be shaped similar to a wing shape from a spitfire. There was no noise and it cut through the sky like a warm knife through butter. I considered it to possibly be a flock of birds packed together but it held its shape too well even when slowing for a second before taking off at speed over the houses to my left. I am still trying to come up with a logical explanation for what it was as my logical brain is struggling with not being able to readily identify it. A similar object was seen further up the road at Pendleton College, it was stationary in the sky before taking off at speed’.
Since the incident numerous witnesses have come forward, all of which could not readily identify the object. Below are a number of photographs taken as the object seemed to change shape.
Whatever this object was, it seemed to change shape and seemed to be intelligently controlled. Some new type of Drone, experimental aircraft, at this moment in time it remains unknown!

Hundreds snap partial solar eclipse in Manchester
Whilst my attention was focused on an unknown object in the sky, the partial solar eclipse was taking place. Below are a couple of snaps I managed to get. The third photo was taken by another witness in Salford that managed to capture the eclipse and the unusual object in the same photo.
Though Manchester is no stranger to UFO sight‐ings, it would seem no one has come up with an intelligent and feasible explanation as to what this object was. The mystery continues...
The sighting lasted around 4 minutes and I lost sight of the object in cloud which were around 6000 feet that morning. Afterwards I continued to photograph what was left of the partial solar eclipse. I was sure others must have seen this object.

Is this proof that Nessie exists? Tourist's video shows ring of disturbed water they swear was caused by the monster... but say they were too
captivated to take a picture.
Tourists taking pictures of Loch Ness swear they spotted the elusive monster that lurks in its depths, but were too mesmerised to photograph it, instead capturing the moment after it dived under.
Recovery efforts continue until all hu‐man remains are found.
"Last night my son and I were just sitting on the beach in Destin when I randomly decided to take this picture. Later that night I was looking at the picture and when I zoomed in a little, I noticed, what looked like an image of a person walking out of the ocean. The crazy thing is, there was nobody around when I took the picture. In the wake of the horrible military helicopter accident, I couldn't help but think of those brave servicemen who lost their lives," Lam‐brou said on Facebook. Lambrou didn't say why she was compelled to go on the beach and take photos in the dark. She believes that the figure could be one of the passengers that died in the crash. The photo has gone viral on Facebook
since Lambrou posted it and many folks believe the figure is an angel or a ghost of one of the service members.
"This picture is a reminder that their spirit lives on. I can't say what the figure could be but I thought it may be worth sharing and maybe it will bring peace to those who were affected the most. Thank you to all of the strong, coura‐geous people who serve this country," Lambrou said.
What exactly is the eerie figure in the photo? Is it a hoax? Could it actually be an angel or a ghost?

A woman noticed a strange figure in a photo that she took of a beach near where a military helicopter crashed earlier this month. All service members that were aboard were killed when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed on the beach of the Florida panhandle. Some of the bodies have not been recovered and there is still and ongoing search, Detroit Free Press reported yesterday. Brandy Harris Lambrou was compelled to take a photo of the beach where 11 service members lost their lives in a helicopter crash. After Lambrou got home, she examined the image and found a strange figure in it. In the photo, a dark figure can be seen walking out of the ocean and onto the beach.
On March 10, 7 Marines and 4 National Guard soldiers were killed when their Sikorsky UH‐60 Black Hawk crashed near the coast in Navarre, Florida. The Marines were based in North Carolina and the National Guard soldiers were from Louisiana. Thew were conducting a training mission on the Florida coastline when their helicopter crashed due to dense fog and weather conditions. Most of the debris from the helicopter has been recovered however some of the bodies from the crew have not yet been found. Investigators from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center is investigat‐ing what might have caused the Black Hawk to crash.

When 50‐year‐old Consuela Ross went for a walk on the banks of Loch Ness with her daughter and granddaughter, she was simply hoping to photograph some of the stunning scenery. But now she is claiming to have witnessed the latest glimpse of the fabled monster that dwells in its depths as it came to the surface for air. However, despite having her camera in her hand she says she was too captivated to take a picture, and instead only managed to record the moment after the beast dived under the surface.
Consuela Ross, 50 (left), was visiting the Loch with daughter Reyshell Avel‐lanoza, 29 (centre), and granddaughter Heather Elizabeth, five (right), when they made the sighting. Husband Campbell Ross, 74 (centre), was waiting in the car park at the time.
A video taken at the time shows a mysterious circle of disturbed water spreading outwards from the centre of the lake, which Mrs Ross swears was occupied by the beast moments earlier. Miss Ross was walking beside the lake with daughter Reyshell Avellanoza, 29, and granddaughter Heather Elizabeth, both from the Philippines, when the incident happened. The family had spent the day visiting nearby Urquhart Castle with Mrs Ross's husband, Campbell Ross, 73, when they decided to drive to the lake. Mr Ross stayed in the car while the others went to the water's edge, when Heather, who was seeing the Loch for the first time, pointed out a strange shape. Consuela told the Daily Record: 'She said it looked like a big black belly. We looked and could see this big disturbance quite a way out and this big black object in the middle of it. 'We were so mesmerised, we didn't immediately think of taking pictures although we had the cameras in our hands. 'By the time we realised what we were seeing and began filming and snapping away, the object had sank virtually out of sight and moved away further into the loch, leaving behind a perfect circle of water ‐ like a whirlpool.' Earlier this year Swedish monster‐hunter Bjarne Sjöstrand, 52, won a £2,000 prize in a Nessie spotting competition after picking out a strange object on satellite images. Mr Sjöstrand, who has never visited Scotland, won the best Loch Ness Monster sighting of 2014, in an annual competition run by bookmaker William Hill.
The systems administrator was at home in Stockholm when he spotted a long thin object in the water on a Google Earth image taken above Horse Shoe Scree on the loch's southern side. Mr Sjöstrand said: 'I am very interested in anything regarding Nessie and the history of Loch Ness. 'The reason I found this image on Google Earth was that I was sitting one night at home reading about Nessie and Loch Ness on the internet and thought I would check to see if I could see something from above ‐ and that proved to turn out well. 'I have never been to Scotland but my hopes are that one day I will visit Loch Ness.' The picture is the latest in a series of possible Loch Ness Monster pictures. In November MailOnline reported that grainy footage had emerged showing a long and thin shape swaying in the water ‐ one that bears a striking resem‐blance to Nessie’s fabled slender neck. The video shows the object waving in the choppy water, around 500ft from the loch’s shore. It was captured by
Richard Collis – who counts himself amongst the most ardent Nessie cynics after years of fishing on the waters without a sighting. But the tree planter was so taken aback by the mysterious shape he noticed while driving along the edge of the loch that he filmed it on his iPhone, and believes he might have stumbled upon the real deal. 'As I was watching, I was thinking what the hell is that?’ said Mr Collis, 58, who noticed the shape while travelling around a mile from Fort Augustus at the south‐west end of Loch Ness. He added: ‘I don’t really believe in anything like that until I see it.'
A satellite high in the atmosphere, accessed using Apple's satellite map app, took this amazing image of a creature swimming below the surface of the world famous loch.

WILD MAN BEASTS OF ENGLAND
In 2012, I interviewed Jonathan Downes – the director of the Center for Fortean Zoology – on the controversy surrounding reports of what can only be termed British, hairy, wild man reports. He told me: “One of the things that interest me – and I’m going out on a limb with this; it’s not something most cryptozoologists agree with – is that the veneer of civilization of man is very, very thin. Just look at the ways in which otherwise perfectly normal men will behave when they go to war. Look at the way mobs behave.
could reputedly successfully mate with human females suggests some form of ancestral connection between us and them; maybe, even a common ancestor. It should be noted, too, that right next to Dorset is the English county of Som‐erset, one also known for its wild man‐type reports. Back to Jonathan Downes:
“Many years ago, the area around what is now an abandoned mine at Smitham Hill, in Somerset, was linked to tales of strange beasts seen watching the min‐ers. Sometimes on returning to work in the morning, the men would find that carts and equipment had been pushed over and thrown around during the night. These things, whatever they were, are still seen in that area today; or, at least, as late as November 1993.”
Downes cited an exact quote taken from a witness whose case is in his files:
“I was on a walk through the woods, when I heard a twig snap. I thought nothing of it and continued on. Sud‐denly the dogs became very agitated and ran off home. At this point I became aware of a foul smell, like a wet dog and a soft breathing sound. I started to run, but after only a few feet, I tripped and fell. I decided to turn and meet my pursuer only to see a large, about seven feet tall, dark brown, hairy, ape‐like man. It just stood, about ten feet away, staring at me. It had intelligent looking eyes and occasionally tilted its head as if to find out what I was. After about twenty seconds it moved off into the forest.’”

Perhaps, somewhere deep within the wilder parts of southern England, the ancient wild men still live on, totally oblivious to what such an extraordinary revelation, if proved, would provoke in the scientific and zoological communi‐ties.

“I believe that all over the world, at various times – including Britain – there have been people that have regressed back through the layers of society and civilization. In some cases of so‐called ‘feral children,’ they have been found with a fine down of hair all over their bodies. This is something that is quite well known, and is something that can appear in conditions like anorexia, or where, for whatever reason, a person is very malnourished. They start to de‐velop fine hair on their bodies, under certain circumstances.”
Downes also told me: “I think it is quite possible that you may have had situa‐tions where individuals – in earlier centuries and in Britain and elsewhere – may have been cast out of their vil‐lage. Maybe they were just mentally ill, but the people of their village were in fear of them, so they were banished to the woods or whatever. They may have lived in the wild from then on, eking out primitive existences, and who being malnourished, may have developed fine hair over their bodies that then gets coated and matted with mud and leaves, and suddenly you have legends of wild men. “They may have even bred if there were groups of them. And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if, maybe, this led to at least some of the legends of wild men in Britain, but not all of them. They may well have been people who went wild, but who were not primitive people, as such.”
Mark North and Robert Newland has deeply studied reports of wild men in their home county of Dorset, England. They have uncovered centuries‐old reports of wild men dwelling deep within the woods of Yellowham Hill, which is situated near the town of Dorchester. Of particular note, the hairy wild men had a particular liking for the local girls and women of the area – to the extent that, on more than a few occasions they would abduct them and even make them pregnant. Of course, such stories may have been elaborated on, or outright fabricated, to prevent irate fathers and husbands from finding out what their daughters or wives had been up to with the village locals!
On the other hand, perhaps the wild men of Dorset were something much different, far more ancient, and deeply mysterious. Even so, that the wild men
Could Ancient Peruvians Soften Stone?
By April Holloway Ancient Origins; September 21,2014; http://tinyurl.com/lx764np
Lying on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco in Peru, lies the walled complex of Saksaywaman. The site is famed for its remarkable large dry stone walls with boulders carefully cut to fit together tightly without mor‐tar. The stones used in the construction of the terraces at Saksaywaman, which weight up to 150 tonnes, are among the largest used in any building in prehispanic America and display a precision of fitting that is unmatched in the Americas. The stones are so closely spaced that a single piece of paper will not fit between many of the stones. This precision, combined with the rounded corners of the blocks, the variety of their interlocking shapes, and the way the walls lean inward have puzzled scientists for decades. The method used to match precisely the shape of a stone with the adjacent stones is still unknown, particularly as no tools were found in the vicinity of the site. The “standard” explanation is that the Incans somehow managed to use a “guess and check” method of chipping at the stone with their stone tools, then setting the stone in place, seeing how it fit, then lifting it up and chipping further if it didn’t fit, then checking again, and so on. However, considering the absolute precision of the cuts, shaping the blocks using only round stone hammers and repeatedly lifting up 100‐tonne blocks to make adjustments throughout the process seems exceptionally unlikely.
Saksaywaman, in the history books, is said to have been completed in 1508, but those living just a few decades later, like Garcilaso de la Vega, born in 1539 and raised in the area of Saksaywa‐man, professed to hav‐ing no idea about how the walls were con‐structed. And no one else seemed to either.
In fact, the Incans themselves acknowledged to the Spanish conquistadores that these structures were there long before them, built by different people. Is it possible that the Incans built on top of previously existing structures? If the builders were even more ancient, it would mean that there was a civilisa‐tion much more advanced than the Incans, but of which we know almost nothing about—except that they could create structures like Saksaywaman. One interesting theory that has been put forward to explain the shaping of the stones has its roots in local legend reported by explorers, such as the legendary Percy Fawcett, as well as Hiram Bingham, who rediscovered Ma‐chu Picchu. The legend speaks of a liquid derived from plants, which was known to the ancients to turn the stones soft. In fact, in 1983, a Catholic priest said he used the technique to achieve the stone softening but was unable to figure out how to make the stones hard again. While the theory remains speculative, marks on some of the stones at Saksaywaman do indi‐cate that the stones were moulded or scraped into shape, which could be explained by the stone softening theory. Whether this theory proves correct or not is yet to be seen but it seems quite conclusive that the stone wall was not created with stone hammers and by repeatedly lifting up and down the massive stones. As Ben Bendig from Epoch Times has said: “structures like this invite us to learn more about our past, and realize that the ancients might have been far more advanced than we give them credit”.
Mysterious Light Flash in Russian Town Still Unexplained
By Paul Seaburn mysteriousuniverse.org; March 19, 2015; http://tinyurl.com/madh7xh
The corruption in law enforcement and government in Russia (is that a triple redundancy?) has driven Russian drivers to install dash cameras in their vehi‐cles to record traffic violations, accidents and crimes. An added benefit is that these drivers are also recording anomalies like the mysterious flash of light which illuminated the city of Stavropol, baffling residents and officials who still have no confirmed explanation. The soundless flash occurred just after midnight (12:39 am) on March 17 in this southern Russian city. Wit‐nesses reported seeing streetlights go out and lights flickering in homes. One motorist who was driving in the direction of the flash uploaded his dash cam video to the Internet, resulting in other eyewitness accounts coming out, such as this one from an anonymous woman: "I was very frightened by what I saw, I was already in bed. It looked as if something very bright lit up my ceil‐ing." Because of the brevity of the flash and its occurrence at what appears to be ground level, the first possible explanation was an electrical system explosion. However, no sounds was reported and local power system au‐thorities say there were no problems in the grid. The Russian defense minis‐try had been conducting military exercises in Stavropol during the previous week but it gave no comments on the flash and no others were reported. The flash does not look like the Northern Lights which have been occurring fre‐quently due to recent solar storms and no meteor activity was reported in the area. There was no unusual weather that night which prompted the local Hydrometeorological Center to say that the flash could not “be attributed to nature.”So the light flash was unnatural but what was it? Speculations run the gamut from secret military launch to alien spacecraft to Tesla experi‐ments. This is not surprising when unexplained flashes are becoming more common in Russia. Here’s another dash cam recording of a longer unex‐plained flash from November 2014. Unexplained bright lights and loud booms continue around the world. Until someone explains them, keep those dash cameras in good working order.

Hillary Clinton may have gained access to top secret UFO files according to informa‐tion obtained through the Freedom of In‐formation Act.
Billionaire Philanthropist, Laurence Rockefeller, apparently requested that Hillary use her position to send him gov‐ernment top secret X‐files on UFO and ET research. Hillary is also being accused of deleting over 30,000 emails from her pri‐vate email server, some of which would have contained evidence of the X‐files which have, until now, been kept secret from the public.
Despite apologising for the email “mistake”, new evidence suggests that the former Secretary of State was privy to secret UFO files gathered by NASA, CIA, Department of Defense, Air Force and others in the 1990′s.
She was acting on a request by billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller, on the ‘best available UFO evidence’. Rocke‐feller was apparently conducting re‐search into ET and UFOs and with the help of the Clintons, was seeking to shed more light on the subject.
The two following Freedom of Informa‐tion Act requests show evidence of Rocke‐feller’s request to the Clinton’s and their correspondence with him...
The letters show Rockefeller’s attorney, Henry Diamond, revealing Hillary Clinton as being involved in helping draft a letter to her husband, the then President, Bill Clin‐ton. It also shows Laurence Rockefeller, petitioning the then ‘Assisstant to President for Science and Technology’, Doctor John H Gibbons, in late 1995 early 1996.
It raises the question: Was Clinton involved in any way in a secretive effort to have clas‐sified UFO files made available to senior White House officials? If so what informa‐tion did it contain?
Rockefeller intended to expose to the pub‐lic the government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence en‐gaging the human race.
The following article asks: Is there an un‐known government and/or corporate entity with the power to deny sitting Presidents and their staffs access to classified UFO files? It also describes the Obama Admini‐stration’s failed attempt to secure the se‐cret files, together with his predecessor‐ President Bush.
Back in August 1995 Hillary was given an informal briefing by billionaire philanthro‐pist Laurence Rockefeller, on the best avail‐able UFO evidence. An August 4, 1995, memo by President Clinton’s Science Advi‐sor, Dr Jack Gibbons, confirmed that the Clintons would be vacationing with Rocke‐feller at his Teton Ranch in Wyoming that summer, and they would discuss UFOs: “You will probably see Mr Rockefeller on your vacation in the Tetons. He will want to talk with you about his interest in extrasen‐sory perception, paranormal phenomenon, and UFOs.”
In the memo, Gibbons attempted to dis‐suade the Clintons from pursuing Rockefel‐ler’s agenda to disclose classified national security files concerning UFOs:”He knows that we are trying to be helpful in respond‐ing to his concerns about UFO’s and human potential … but I’ve made no secret about my conviction that we must not be too diverted from more earthly imperatives.”
FOIA documents confirm the key role played by Hillary Clinton in the Clinton ad‐ministration’s interest in UFOs. In a Nov 1, 1995 letter to Clinton’s Science advisor, Dr John Gibbons, Rockefeller’s attorney, Henry Diamond, revealed that Hillary Clinton was actually involved in helping draft a letter to the President. Another letter by Rockefeller himself to Gibbons on Feb 5, 1996, revealed that the Office of Science and Technology was keeping Hillary Clinton informed about the UFO discussions.

Clinton administration’s point person for UFO discussions. He wrote: “Hillary time and again spoke of UFOs, UFO sightings, and the concept of the “alien invasion,” in her speeches, and in her statements to the press.”
It’s important to point out that one of the figures involved in the unsuccessful Clin‐ton administration effort to gain access to classified UFO was John Podesta, who ultimately became Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff. Podesta subsequently became co‐chair of the Presidential transition team for the Obama administration in 2008/2009 – a position where he played a key role in the selection of White House staff.
More recently, John Podesta admitted that he was involved in a secretive at‐tempt by the Obama White House in 2014 to gain access to classified UFO files from unknown government agencies. On his final day as Counselor to President Obama on Energy and the Environment, Podesta said: “my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files.”
Podesta’s admission raises three important issues. First. in 2014, a new White House effort to secure disclosure of classified UFO files had been attempted but ultimately failed. Second, there had been earlier un‐successful efforts by Podesta to secure the release of such files spanning the years of the Clinton, Bush and Obama administra‐tions. Finally, there is an unknown govern‐ment and/or corporate entity with the power to deny sitting Presidents and their staffs access to classified UFO files.
On the topic of Hillary’s 38,830 missing emails, we know that Hillary has had a keen interest in classified UFO files, and was the key figure in the Clinton admini‐stration’s efforts to have them either de‐classified or made available to senior White House staff. We also know that the Obama administration was involved in one or more secretive efforts to have classified UFO files released.
As Obama’s first Secretary of State, an important question that arises is whether Clinton was involved in any way in a secre‐tive effort to have classified UFO files made available to senior White House

officials. Unfortunately, the mainstream media is not asking Hillary whether any of her missing emails involved references to classified UFO files and Obama administra‐tion efforts to gain access to them. Perhaps in the next two years as Hillary campaigns for President, along with Podesta who moved from the Obama White House to assist her, she will be more forthcoming about her secretive efforts to gain access to classified UFO files.

Deleted Emails ‐ Hillary shared Top Secret Alien, UFO Files: By Edmondo Burr
Clinton Rockefeller letter 2, dated February 5th 1996
In an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Bill Clinton said that when he was President, he actually asked aides to investigate what, if anything, the government knew about UFOs. The search turned up no evidence of E.T. — but Clinton said he wouldn’t rule out that aliens exist. “If we were visited someday I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said. “I just hope that it’s not like ‘Independence Day.’ ” The issue of extraterrestrial life came up when Kimmel declared that if he were to become President, he would immediately “demand to see all the classified files on the UFOs.” “Did you do that?” Kimmel asked. “Sort of,” Clinton smiled. He said he asked for the review at the beginning of his second term, after “Independence Day” came out and as the 50th anniversary of an alleged UFO crash in Roswell, N.M., approached. “First, I had people go look at the records on Area 51 to make sure there was no alien down there,” Clinton said, referring to the top‐secret section of a Nevada Air Force base. “But there are no aliens there,” Clinton said. “When the Roswell thing came up, I knew we’d get gazillions of letters, so I had all the Roswell papers reviewed, everything.” “If you saw that there were aliens there, would you tell us?” Kimmel asked. “Yeah,” Clinton said, smiling. “So, what do we know?” the former President continued on Wednesday night’s show. “We know there are billions of stars and planets, literally, out there. And the universe is getting bigger,” he said. “In the last two years, more than 20 planets have been identified outside our solar system that seem to be far enough away from their suns and dense enough that they might be able to support some form of life, so it makes it increasingly less likely that we’re alone.” Clinton joked that a visit by aliens might be “the only way to unite us in this incredibly divided” world. “If they’re out there, we better think of how all the differences among people on Earth would seem small if we felt threatened by a space invader. That’s the whole theory of ‘Independence Day.’ Every‐body gets together and makes nice.”

Title: Drones Director: Rick Rosenthal Main cast: Matt O'Leary, Eloise Mumford, Whip Hubley, William Russ. Format: DVD Distributor: Phase 4 Films Price: £10.25 Amazon Basically this is a film about the pragmatism of hi‐tec warfare pitched against ethics and morality. It concerns two soldiers, an officer and an enlisted man, sitting at control panels in a cabin situated on a military base somewhere in the USA. They are tasked with flying the now near‐ubiquitous UCAV’s (Unmanned Combat Ariel Vehicles A.K.A. ‘drones’) that spy on and if necessary kill enemies of the USA more or less anywhere in the world, in this case Afghanistan.
The soldiers have been instructed to monitor and kill an Al Qaeda terrorist and when they get the chance to do so while he is on his way to a house where his family are located, the permission is slow to arrive. When it finally does arrive the suspected terrorist is inside the house with his family and the soldiers are told to kill them all anyway. However they do not because they now have some doubt regarding his identity and the film develops from there. To be honest, the moralising and rather obvi‐ous anti‐war message aside, the film is a bit on the slow side and the banter between the soldiers does little to relieve it. It’s not a bad film, but it is in dire need of some action. Two soldiers are tasked with deciding the fate of a terrorist with a single push of a button. As the action plays out in real time, their window to use a deadly mili‐tary drone on the target slowly closes. With time running out, the soldiers begin to question what the real motives are behind the ordered lethal attack.

March 5 ‐ Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illumi‐nated. This phase occurs at 18:06 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Worm Moon be‐cause this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear. This moon has also been known as the Full Crow Moon, the Full Crust Moon, the Full Sap Moon, and the Lenten Moon. March 6 ‐ Dawn at Ceres. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft will encounter the dwarf planet known as Ceres on March 6. Ceres is the larg‐est object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Because of its size and shape, it has officially been classified as a dwarf planet, which puts it in the same category as Pluto. Ceres is 590 miles (950 kilometers) in diameter and is large enough to have a round shape. Dawn will spend several months studying Ceres and will send back the first close‐up images of a dwarf planet in our Solar System. March 20 ‐ New Moon. The Moon will located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 09:36 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters be‐cause there is no moonlight to interfere. Total Solar Eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun, revealing the Sun's beautiful outer atmosphere known as the corona. The path of totality for this eclipse will be limited to the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans between Greenland and northern Russia. A partial solar eclipse was viewed Over the United Kingdom.
March 20 ‐ March Equinox. The March equinox occurs
at 22:45 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere. Aurora Borealis will also be visible from the United Kingdom due to high solar activity...

Title: History is Wrong Author: Erich von Daniken Publisher: New Page Books ISBN: 9781601630865 Price: $17.99 Reviewed by: Paul Dale Roberts I have always believed history to be wrong. The only history you can barely trust is what is happening today. In this book, a lot of people dispel the myth of Joseph Smith who founded the Mormon religion. Joseph Smith received information from an angel named Moroni. Moroni delivered metal plates to Joseph Smith that set the foundation of the Mormon religion. Could these metal plates provided to Joseph Smith come from a lost subterranean labyrinth in Ecuador? Legend has it that this secret library contains thousands of gold panels. Erich shows the link to this library with the Book of Enoch and to the present day Mormons. Erich’s theo‐ries make sense and it’s a hard book to put down. Joseph Smith has 11 witnesses to the metal plates and these 11 witnesses all signed a document attesting to their existence. Joseph Smith could not make up the documentation of these plates, because the plates contained family disputes, wars, migrations, genealogies (the sequence of the generations with their countless offshoots), with complicated names, confusing quotes, landscapes and locations.
There is too much stuff to invent just for one man. The history that we don’t know about is that there was a war of the Gods. The fallen angels went against the Most High a.k.a. the Great Glory and started having their way with Earth girls. The Great Glory gets sick of the whole thing and creates a massive flood. Erich puts everything together, when you pick up a bible and read: “When men began to increase in number on Earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.” You can see how the story makes sense and the fallen angel myth has a strong foundation to reality. Erich places the Voynich Manuscript into perspective, your eyes will open to Erich’s profound and just theories. If you want to understand the correct history, let Erich take you down the path that will carry the answers you seek. History is Wrong deserves a standing ovation for the enlightening information that it carries from cover to cover!
Title: Strange Skies, Strange Eyes: The Paranormal, Ufology and Everyday Magick Author: Brian Allan Book Details: Paperback, 218 pages. Publisher: Fortean Words ISBN: 978‐1‐909488‐24‐3 Price: £???? Described on Amazon as… This book could best be described as a series of reflections and observations, a distillation if you like, on the nature of, and relationship between, the occult as we encounter it in our daily lives. This includes the paranormal in all its guises and how this impinges upon the often fractious subject of Ufology, aspects of which may in themselves be other manifesta‐tions of the paranormal. From my own investigations and researches it seems to me that there is little if any difference between any of these subjects and where any divergences do occur, they are almost certainly in how different individuals experience them. The first thing you notice when opening this book is that there is a forward by Brad and Sherry Steiger who go onto to describe the author as a scholar and meticulous researcher. I share Brad’s opinion in regards this book not being suitable for the hard lined extraterrestrial believer, such as visitors from space and other planets, the interbreeding theory and so…
Though this book does cover numerous UFO incidents, it also covers the topics of the paranormal and magick. A combination that many would not throw into the same pot. But why not? There would seem to be considerable evidence to suggest many UFO experiences border or involve paranormal like experi‐ences such as UFO occupants seemingly described as apparitional, abduction cases involving paralysis which again is often reported during paranormal experiences. Even magick could play its part, the CIA have apparently given reference to the word ‘Magic’ when it comes to UFO technology. Could we sim‐ply be dealing with a singular phenomena that expresses itself in a multiple format? Very possible! I certainly wouldn’t rule it out quite yet. This 218 page book was an absolute pleasure to read, in fact, I couldn’t put it down. You can clearly see that the author has painstakingly researched his material with the precision of fine needlework. The book is jam packed with information from UFO government operations, saucer tech and experimental aircraft, secret facilities, how disinformation works, ET experiences, spiritual beliefs, the practice of magick, demonic possession and exorcisms, paranormal phenomena, poltergeist infestations and much much more. Not only is this book a treasure trove of information, it also contains startling evidence in support of government cover‐ups and purpose disinformation. You will be shocked at the authors accuracy in regards his research and will be a little disillusioned in regards what many have taken as fact. A fantastic book that appeals to both UFO and paranormal enthusiasts. A must buy!

Title: Gods Blueprint Author: Christopher Knight Book Details: Paperback, 240 pages Publisher: Watkins Publishing ISBN‐13: 978‐1780287492 Price: £13.48 This book puts the idea of God on trial. Whilst the case has been hotly disputed over recent generations with scientists on one side and theologians on the other, evidence either way has been thin on the ground. Faith ‐ belief without evidence ‐ has been the basis for the world's major religions. Most scientists reject the notion of God because they require factual, empirical evidence in order to accept any proposition as being real. However, new information has become available, which appears to provide hard‐nosed evidence of God's existence. Can faith be replaced by understanding, and can scientists formally embrace, once again, the concept of a supreme being as they did in Isaac Newton's day? Nothing less than God's 'blueprint' appears to have been discov‐ered ‐ found by chance by the author while researching the science of the Neolithic (late Stone Age) people of western Europe. The case will be tried taking the evidence step‐by‐step. You, the reader, are the jury.
You must evaluate the evidence as the proceedings develop and, to aid you, there will be a brief summing up at the end of each section. At the close of the book you are asked to make a judgment as to whether the case is proven or not. Does God exist? A very interesting book that certainly thought provoking. It would seem that there may be evidence of a master plan… That the earth was in fact created around humanity for sustainability. However I have read a lot of material similar to this and numerous books that seem to go against this theory in suggest‐ing humanity is not adapted for this planet and that there is a lack of evidence in support of Darwinism. Many have wrote books about the lack of evolution‐ary evidence, that we actually came from apes. If this is the case then it would seem we may have in fact de‐evolved, (if that can even take place?) The evi‐dence suggests that apes are more evolved in numerous ways… they can see better than us, hear better than us, have a greater sense of smell, their hair and nails do not continuously grow, they can breathe and swallow at the same time, and they could possibly walk better than human, (more flat‐footed). They are stronger and more adaptable to hot and cold weather changes, they even have less genetic problems than humans. Isn’t evolution about improvement? Its seems not. Of course humans do not adapt well to cold and heat, we burn and freeze very easily. Simply, it would seem that we are not readily equipped to deal with this planets environment. All very odd if it be true. As for someone or something creating earth as a suitable habitat is in much debate, never the less this book was a fascinating read and kept my interest. The author has conducted some excellent research and discovered possible support to his theory. That earth and humans was simply God’s Blueprint.

The little Sussex village of Firle, with its flint and brick cottages, sits at the foot of the South Downs. Lewes, the Glyndebourne Opera House and the Cuckmere Valley are just a stone’s throw away. It is an idyllic setting. During the spring and summer months, Firle attracts many visitors. Some are walkers heading for the hills; some are pa‐trons of the historic Ram Inn. Others are attracted by the 18th century Firle Place and its park, and by the big‐ticket events that are held there. At Easter, there is the Garden Show in the Spring, in early August they have the Vintage Summer Fair, and at the end of the month, the Firle Place Inter‐national Horse Trials, Coun‐try Fair and Dog Festival. Then at the end of October, the Firle Bonfire Society put on a fireworks spectacular.
I have visited Firle on sev‐eral occasions. The last one was on Sunday, 24th August 2014. It was a strange day. Much of the country was un‐der solid cloud cover. But by late morning, little patches of sunlight started to break through over the Downs, firstly above Firle, then later on more extensively. So I went into Firle armed with my camera, hoping the sunlight would stick around a while.
I parked at the bottom of the village, and I worked my way up The Street, past the Ram Inn, and on up as far as Firle Stores. I then turned into The Dock, the little lane that runs back down the hill at right angles to The Street. I had taken 15 pictures by this stage. I took one single photograph looking down The Dock, and then went back to The Street. Something made me turn back. What was it? I had intended to take pictures right the way down The Dock. I am aware that from around midday the north‐west side of The Dock (the one with most of the houses) falls into shadow, but the pictures I have show that it was still fully bathed in sunlight.
I returned to The Street, took a photograph looking right down the road, then went back briefly to the top of The Dock, took two pictures of one pair of houses, then stepped back into The Street again. As I was standing opposite Firle Stores holding my
camera, and wondering what to do next, a man came out of the shop and ap‐proached me. He was an “old hippy” type. He had long blonde hair, which was probably dyed, a gnarled face and was wearing a cowboy hat. He sounded mod‐erately posh.
He said to me: "Can I ask you a couple of questions?" Somewhat hesitantly, I said: "Yes." I was a little wary of the guy. About once a year, someone objects to my tak‐ing photographs. These people are usually aggressive busybodies, and I tend to be quite brusque with them. But this fellow was different. He asked me: "Are you from the press?" I said: "No." "Are you one of these people who works for them‐selves and sells pictures on to the press?" I said: "No." Then he said: "You know what happened here? The terrible trag‐edy that happened here? There's great sensitivity in this part of the village about photography." I replied: "I know nothing about that." He continued: "Are you just someone who takes photographs gener‐ally?" I replied: "I'm a public servant. If I was from the press, I'd be using a much more expensive camera." He said: "I don't know about that." He was clutching a packet of Neurofen throughout the en‐counter. “Sorry to have troubled you, then,” he concluded by saying. Somewhat relieved, I walked off in the direction of the churchyard, a distance of about 200 feet. I can measure the length of the encounter by taking the time of my third picture in The Dock, which was at 11.48.20, and the
time of my subsequent photograph in the churchyard, which was at 11.50.18. That is a period of just under two minutes, from which I must subtract my walks from The Dock to The Street, and from The Street to the churchyard. The encounter was brief indeed. The man certainly saw me holding
a camera, but he could not have seen me take photo‐graphs in The Dock. It was so perplexing. Looking around me, no‐one else – local or visitor – gave off the slightest impression that this was a community in grief. When I got home, I scoured the internet for the terrible tragedy that had occurred in Firle. I found nothing. Yet this person had assumed that I would know about it. I could find not a single report or reference. So that very evening I re‐corded what had hap‐pened in an email to
friends, using the subject line “A bizarre encounter”. That email is the key docu‐ment in this case.
Move forward almost four months. On Friday, 19th December 2014, I had another look at the internet to see if there was a news story that I had missed when I had last looked on Sunday, 24th August. And lo and behold, what did I find? I found the following snippet from the Sussex Express published on Friday, 5th September 2014: Man found dead at his home in Firle
At 1.50pm on Thursday (August 28) last week emergency services went to a house in The Dock, a lane in the village of Firle, near Lewes, after reports that a man had been injured there. The body of a man in his early thirties, who lived at the address, was found inside. A shotgun was also found at the scene. Sussex Police said this week that enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances but the death is not being treated as suspicious…
So there was a terrible tragedy in Firle last August, and it happened in the part of the village where I was told there was great sensitivity about photography. But just a minute.
39
That man spoke to me on Sunday, 24th August. The newspaper story, which was published on Friday, 5th September, says that the fatal firearm incident occurred on Thursday, 28th August, a clear four days later! Now, what is going on here? How is it that this bloke was able to tell me about a terri‐ble tragedy that had not yet occurred? Why did he assume that I would know about it – and talk as if the village was swarming with reporters ‐ when there had been not a sin‐gle media report? He could hardly be the man who died, because he is described as in his early 30s. Did he know something that others did not? Did he have a premoni‐tion?
Could the Sussex Express be wrong about the date? I think not. The incident would have been recorded by the Police on a com‐puter system, which would have assigned the date automatically. The Police often have to take these details to court, so they know the importance of getting them right. As for the newspaper, they would have taken the story electronically from the Po‐lice and cut and pasted it. Could the Police have embargoed the story for a week, lead‐ing to the wrong date being picked up by the newspaper? I suspect not. In the case of a fatal firearm incident, the Police would be keen to have it reported as soon as possible in order to allay public anxiety. If it was a mistake, it has never been corrected.
We can only know the date of the incident for certain by obtaining a copy of the vic‐tim’s death certificate. But that cannot be done until the victim is named. There could still be an inquest. Indeed, there might have been one already, but there are no media reports of it available on the internet. So we are left wondering. Are we looking at a glimpse into the future, or an unexplained mistake..? Some History. The history of Firle Place is the history of the one family; the house was built by Sir John Gage in 1473 and there have been Gages at Firle ever since. Sir John served as Governor of Calais and Constable of the Tower of London. In that post he was re‐sponsible for imprisoning Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I) during Queen Mary's reign. Sir John's son, Edward, was a staunch Catholic, and took charge of burning the 17 local Protestants known as the Lewes Mar‐tyrs. A later Gage, Sir William (1695‐1744) has a place in the history of cricket, for in 1730 he challenged the Duke of Richmond to a match with took place at Lewes. This is one of the earliest recorded cricket matches in history. His son and heir, Sir Thomas, had a more serious role to play; he served as commander of the British forces in the
American colonies, and led the British troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. It was not an auspicious command, as the stalemate at Bunker Hill helped lead to the eventual loss of the American colo‐nies. A later Sir Thomas introduced the Greengage plum to Britain. The transfor‐mation of Firle from a Tudor manor to an elegant Georgian home was begun by Sir William Gage in the early 18th century and completed by his cousin, the 1st Vis‐count Gage, who inherited the estate in 1744. The exterior is clad in Caen stone, probably salvaged from Lewes Priory. The exterior has been remarkably unaltered since the mid‐Georgian rebuilding, as subsequent generations of Gages con‐fined their attentions to the interiors and the gardens. Major interior features in‐clude the neo‐classical Drawing Room, designed by William Kent, and the Long Gallery, the work of Scottish architect Colen Campbell. The Long Gallery displays the internationally important Cowper

This years event organised by Neil McDon‐ald and associates was better than ever. Neil who runs Megalithic Tours had man‐aged to obtain a good line up of speakers. Though I was attending and lecturing my‐self I was particularly looking forward meet‐ing up with Matthew Williams. It had been quite a number of years since I had seen him last. As usual the event took place over the weekend of March 7th and 8th at Grim‐sargh Village Hall in Preston, a great venue with ample parking. It was nice to see the usual faces manning the stalls and seeing good friend Mike Oram who informed me that he had developed a new and fascinat‐ing lecture which he will be sharing with the audience at this years Probe conference in St. Anne’s at the end of the month. The best part of the conference for me was meeting up with my good friend and Editor of Phenomena Magazine Brian Allan who was there to deliver a lecture that has been much debated by UFO enthusiasts. I’ll come back to that a little later… First up was myself. I had decided to lecture about the subject of Crop Circles, how the media portrays them, misidentifications, hoaxes and possible true anomalies such as high ion content discovered in formations, evidence of heat applied to certain crops, magnetic anomalies, strange audible re‐cordings, equipment failure, compass de‐flections and of course the (BOL) Ball Of Light phenomena. I had compiled a number of video recordings of such strange balls of light including some of the strange atmos‐pheric phenomena reported and recorded at Hasdalen in Norway. The next speaker to follow was Matthew Williams. The title of his lecture was ‘Crop Circles ‐ Those who make them and what they really see. Mathew delivered a fasci‐nating insightful lecture in regards the proc‐ess of making some of the most amazing and significant crop circles, from intricate designs to weaved formations. Matthew just said enough without giving too many secrets away. Most remember Matthew from some years back as he is the only researcher even to have been officially arrested for making a crop circle in a farmers field. Matthew holds back no punches when it comes to demon‐strating that all crop formations a wonder‐fully designed pieces of mathematical art
Mathew went on to explain his interest in the subject of UFOs after having his own unusual sighting some years back. Since then he had dedicated a lot of his life to the investigation and research of the UFO phenomena as well as in depth studies in crop formations. Matthew presented a number of photos of some of the forma‐
tions he was responsible for creating as well as others that had been discovered. On one particular occasion Matthew had coincidentally ran into a couple of other crop circle makers who had apparently constructed (more or less) the very same formation Mathew had done. He went on to say that on some occasions, a small
Amount of formations resemble others and in such cases there could be some kind of strange unconscious development be‐tween some circle makers and others or even some type of telepathic connection between some individuals and formation constructed. All in all, an amazing lecture that kept me and the audience riveted to
our seats. After lunch Brian Allan took to the floor with a truly educational lecture on the subject of UFOs. Briand’s lecture was entitled, ’Truth, Lies and Ufology’’. I had seen Brian perform this lecture before but this time there were some updated bits I did not want to miss. This is the sort of lecture that occasionally does not sit

well with some of the UFO community. I guess you could assume Brian to be a de‐bunker, but… nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Brian’s lecture demon‐strates how governments have concealed experimental aircraft and on occasion are quite happy for such sightings of them to be referred to as UFOs. Brian showed some interesting photos of early German experiments into possible anti‐gravity devices and at that time top secret aircraft with revolutionary designs, which included the crescent shaped or fly‐ing wing shaped aircraft we are aware of today in such designs as the B2 Bomber and others. Brian pointed out that the historical sight‐ing that Kenneth Arnold had was drastically taken out of context by the media, describ‐ing his sighting as flying saucers when in fact the objects had a crescent / flying wing design that travelled across the sky like a saucer would if you had skipped it across the ocean. This accurate description lends to possibility that whatever Kenneth Arnold witnessed was more likely to have had an earthly origin such as experimental aircraft the United States were flying that may have been designed on the old German princi‐ples of the flying wing. Brian also went on to talk about numerous German experiments with the Bell, which looked remarkably like what was witnessed crashing to the ground in Kecks‐burg, Pennsylvania and the method of disin‐formation. Brian demonstrated that Ameri‐can air force officers had also taken part in the spreading of such lies, just as Col. Philip Corso did in his book ’The Day After Ros‐well’. Brian believes that most secrecy lies around the manufacture, test flights and use of top secret aircraft; though he does not rule out aliens and UFOs, simply that they could be interdimensional and not extraterrestrial as most people think. A theory that is more regularly supported nowadays.
Brian’s lecture went down a treat and nu‐merous members of the audience found their way over to Brian’s stall to ask further questions. Brian had attended with his lovely wife Anne and were manning their stall which featured many of Brian’s books including his latest masterpiece ‘Strange Skies, Strange Eyes ‐ The Paranormal, Ufol‐ogy and Everyday Magick. An amazing book well worth getting hold of…

The last speaker of the day was Adrian Incledon‐Webber with a fascinating talk entitled ‘Heal your home ‐ how happy is your home?’ Adrian discussed energies, both positive and negative that surround us every day and especially where we live and what we can do to better our sur‐roundings. Interestingly, such energies could also be attributed to hauntings, and even illness. Adrian has produced an ex‐cellent book on the subject. I’m sure you’ll find it fascinating. Unfortunately I didn’t get time to have a chat with him. It would seem that talk of such energies are not a new thing as the ancients throughout Asia often practices and had teachings in re‐gards such things. Onto the second day. Kicking off the days event was Helen Sewell and her lecture was entitled ‘The Astrology of our times’. Helen demonstrated her technique of using Astrology to gain accurate and even precise information. For this demonstra‐tion she picked the year 2012 which of course was known for the dreaded Mayan colander predictions of doom that appar‐ently (with no surprise) did not come to pass. However Helen gave mention to this and believed that the Mayan predictions may have indicated something more sig‐nificant, a cycle of change, may be in hu‐man consciousness as we enter into the age of Aquarius.
All very interesting, but for me… I could get to grips with it, though I do believe there may very well be something to As‐trology, there are many differing forms, procedures and techniques used that can end up leaving you a little dazed. How‐ever, it was an interesting lecture never the less. A short break and then we were onto Andy Thomas which his lecture ‘A conspir‐acy history of the world’, was long awaited for. Now… as far as I am con‐cerned Andy is by far the leading UK lec‐turer on Conspiracies, clearly a talented lecturer and boy… does he know his sub‐ject. To be frank, he left the audience shocked and concerned with his revela‐tions. Andy fired conspiracy after conspir‐acy at the open mouthed audience which included the 911 conspiracy, the Apollo capsule fire and lunar landings, the infa‐mous Mike Collins NASA photo of his al‐leged spacewalk, the symbolism of the dollar bill, the false flag scenario,
Elizabethan conspiracies, the gunpowder plot, the illuminate, new world order, the sinking of the Lusitania, propaganda, the princess Diana conspiracy, Pearl Habour, the Watergate affair, the JFK assassination and much more. A well packed hour of overwhelming information and visuals, delivered professionally and accurately. It was a delight to see. Andy was also selling his books on a stall which was also manned by his partner who was in fact Helen Sewell. I dare not imaging the conversa‐tions around their dinner table…
Again, a lunch break and then Maria Wheatley presented her lecture ‘From Atlantis to Stonehenge. I found this lecture very interesting, Maria had attended with a friend (Busty Taylor well known crop circle researcher) who she had clearly done some work with. Maria talked of standing stones and crop formations and the exca‐vation of barrows. She demonstrated through use of equipment and technical data obtained that unusual energies were located at many locations and that their construction may have had a symbolic connection to the planets of the solar sys‐tem. Maria also discussed leys and their possible significance to certain sites and that there would seem to be evidence to suggest natural water upwelling's from underground may be present at numerous sites which have a higher beneficial quality such as h320 and not h20. Maria also dis‐cussed her findings in regards recorded frequencies at certain locations that ranged from 7—11hz and an ionising radia‐tion level of 50‐110 counts per minute over a 20 minute period. As for what was the normal or sample test results in an alleged unaffected area… this was not given, nor did Maria quite understand my question when I asked her about it at the end of her lecture. It is important to note the normal readings in a location allegedly not af‐fected so to draw a comparison, as any significant results mean nothing without a controlled reading to compare it to… All in all, it was an enjoyable and informative lecture. It was also good to catch up with Busty Taylor. The final lecturer of the event was Kevin Rowan Drewitt, probably one of the funni‐est lecturers I have ever come across. I always find Kevin’s lectures fascinating and enjoyable due to him injecting humour into his talks on a regular basis. Kevin’s talk was entitled ‘The Old Straight Track’.
Kevin talked an a well known book on leys and the author Alfred Watkins. He also talked of the longest lay in England (Dragon Line or St. Michael Ley), and its connection to locations such as Beacon Fell, St. Mi‐chael’s Mount in Hopton, barrows, churches, Avebury (which is the half way point), Temple farm, Abbeys, Tan Hill, Salis‐bury cathedral and many more locations. Kevin also talked of map dowsing and hid‐den energies. A truly fascinating lecture and well delivered with plenty of interesting photographs.
So… the event had sadly come to an end. This years Mysterious Earth conference was great with an excellent turn out. Neil McDonald has been putting these events together for a number of years with suc‐cess, this year was no exception.
I would like to take this opportunity in thanking Neil and his friends for putting together this event and to the wonderful ladies who prepared lunch and apparently an amazing soup.
That alone was well worth the visit...
