Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind –  Suspicious Deaths, Mysterious Murders, and Bizarre Disappearances in UFO History

(Before It's News)

Flying Into Oblivion, an excerpt from Nick Redfern’s new book

 

 

 

Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFO is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Here we share an excerpt from Chapter 6: Flying Into Oblivion from author Nick Redfern’s new release.

 

Mysterious Skies

At about 9:30 a.m. on November 10, 1953, Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson, two friends originally from Wisconsin but at the time living in California, hired a small airplane and took to the skies of Los Angeles. It was the last time either man was seen alive. It was the last time the aircraft was seen, too. Maybe they crashed shortly after takeoff and died fiery deaths. If so, where was the wreckage? Where were the bodies? No one, including the emergency services that launched a hasty search and rescue operation when it became apparent that something was awry, could find a single piece of telltale evidence of such an accident anywhere. It was almost as if Hunrath and Wilkinson had been abducted by aliens. In fact, that may have been precisely what happened to them.

When news of the pair’s vanishing act surfaced, many of California’s UFO researchers voiced their suspicions that Hunrath and Wilkinson had been whisked away to a faraway world by benevolent aliens—the so-called Space Brothers that dominated so much of the West Coast world of Ufology in the 1950s. Others researchers took a far bleaker approach to the whole thing and pondered the possibility that deadly aliens had lured the pair to their deaths somewhere in the mountains of California. Such thoughts were not at all unreasonable ones. Hunrath and Wilkinson were big players on the Los Angeles UFO scene at the time and, in the weeks and months leading up to their disappearances, were making it widely and loudly known that they had made contacts with at least two races of extraterrestrials—via ESP, drugs, and Ouija boards, no less. But how had the two men become embroiled in the UFO controversy in the first place? The answer is a strange one.

 

Hunrath, Adamski, and the FBI

The deeply curious saga all began when Hunrath—a man with a violent, hair-trigger temper, a dislike of women, and a flair for creating all manner of electronic gadgets and gizmos—decided to get hot on the flying saucer trail. That meant heading out to where most of the alien action was taking place: California. In late 1952, Hunrath quit his job in Wisconsin, left his rental house firmly behind, and took a one-way flight to Los Angeles. After quickly establishing new roots in L.A., Hunrath wasted no time at all in hooking up with the major UFO players in and around town. That included George Hunt Williamson, George Adamski, and George Van Tassel—three of the most famous, but undeniably controversial, UFO contactees of all time. As well as the three Georges, Hunrath also spent much time getting to know Frank Scully, the author of the very first book on crashed UFO incidents, Behind the Flying Saucers, which Scully cranked out in just six weeks in 1950. But, it was on January 12, 1953 that matters really began to develop.

On the morning of the day in question, Hunrath was hanging out at the home of George Adamski—on Palomar Mountain, California—along with Jerrold Baker, one of Adamski’s faithful followers. Quite out of the blue, Hunrath boasted loudly that only a few days earlier he had met with a group of long-haired, human-like aliens in a desert area on the outskirts of Joshua Tree, California. Not only that, the hippy-like ETs had supposedly given Hunrath a fantastically advanced weapon that had the ability to destroy aircraft in flight. Rather oddly, Hunrath gave the deadly device its very own name: Bosco. Having no love for his own government, or even for his fellow citizens, Hunrath practically bellowed to Adamski that he might even test the weapon on an aircraft or several of the U.S. military, just to see how powerful it really was. An outraged and worried Adamski immediately ordered Hunrath off his property. And that’s when the problems began.

Unknown to Hunrath, Adamski, and Baker, Adamski’s secretary, Lucy McGinnis, overheard Hunrath’s less-than-patriotic rant and was quite understandably unnerved by the whole situation. As a result, she chose to quietly phone the soon-to-be wife of Jerrold Baker, whose name was Irma, to let her know that her fiancé was mixing with distinctly disturbing company, namely Hunrath. Irma utterly freaked out when the details of the aircraft-destroying technology were outlined to her, petrified that her beloved Jerrold might be hauled off to jail by the Feds. So, Irma took her own course of action: She quickly called the FBI.

Within just a few hours, two unsmiling special agents of J. Edgar Hoover’s crime-fighting agency were sitting on Adamski’s couch, grilling him all about Bosco and Uncle Sam’s aircraft, and specifically the potential threat the former posed to the latter. The pair told Adamski they had heard rumors that he, Adamski “had in his possession a machine which could draw ‘flying saucers’ and airplanes down from the sky” (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1953). Although this was completely untrue, Adamski realized immediately that the FBI agents were actually talking about Hunrath—who, up until the bust-up earlier on that very same day that led to the FBI arriving, had been fairly chummy with Adamski for two months or so.

Hardly impressed by Adamski’s tales of the alien variety, but finally satisfied that it was Hunrath, and not Adamski, that they needed to focus on, the G-Men left, but not before giving the petrified Adamski a stern order to keep away from Hunrath from now on. Adamski didn’t need telling twice. His path never again crossed with that of Hunrath.

For the next few months, the FBI kept a careful, secret watch on just about every move that Hunrath made, just in case he really was in possession of advanced technology—whether of extraterrestrial or human origin—that could bring down military aircraft, or UFOs, in fatal fashion. Another reason for such intense surveillance of Hunrath was the fact that the FBI uncovered never-substantiated rumors that he was working for the Russians, trying to find out the truth about UFOs for Kremlin paymasters! During this same period, Hunrath convinced Wilbur Wilkinson, an old friend from Wisconsin, to join him in Los Angeles in his quest for the truth about UFOs. Given that Hunrath was very much a crazed Dr. Frankenstein–type to Wilkinson’s meek and subservient Igor, it didn’t take much to persuade Wilkinson to make the move, which occurred in March 1953.

 

Seeking Out the Saucer People

When Wilkinson and his wife reached Los Angeles, they found themselves a pleasant home, settled into their new lives, and became more and more immersed in the UFO issue. Whereas Wilkinson’s wife was content to remain an interested, but somewhat detached and slightly cynical, observer of the phenomenon, Wilkinson himself became overwhelmingly obsessed by all things of a flying saucer nature. On several occasions in the months that followed, Hunrath and Wilkinson traveled to the Prescott, Arizona, home of George Hunt Williamson to further their UFO pursuits.

The three spent hours engaged in nighttime experimentation—under the stars—trying to contact extraterrestrial entities on a telepathic-style basis. Reportedly, this was achieved by taking hits of mescaline and plunging their minds into decidedly altered states. Supposedly, such experimentation worked all too well. On one particular night during the first week of November 1953, Hunrath and Wilkinson received the mind-to-mind invite from their disembodied contacts from above that ultimately relegated them to oblivion, and provoked wild rumors that the pair had been kidnapped, or even killed, by alien entities. With matters having now reached their peak, the two said their goodbyes to Williamson—who was the very last person in the flying saucer field to ever see them—and planned the final countdown to cosmic contact. As to what happened next, it’s still a matter of conjecture, six decades later.

Ten days after the two disappeared, the Los Angeles Mirror newspaper highlighted the mystifying affair in its pages—as well as the attendant theory that their vanishing act was the work of aliens, good, evil, or indifferent. Suddenly, and hardly surprisingly, pretty much the entirety of the rest of the city’s media descended upon the Wilkinson home. When the press arrived they found that the walls of Wilkinson’s den were covered—from almost floor to ceiling—with photos, drawings, press clippings, and more, all on the subject of UFOs.

On top of that, what the Los Angeles Mirror described as strange signs and formulas—but which Mrs. Wilkinson said was actually an interplanetary language—were scrawled on numerous sheets of paper that lay in haphazard, discarded-looking fashion on the floor. When questioned about all of this, Mrs. Wilkinson stated that although she was not overly into the subject of UFOs, her husband certainly was, chiefly as a result of Hunrath’s bullying encouragement. She added—in a fashion that only increased the weirdness—the two men had recently been in contact with an alien name Regga, from the planet Masar. Quite what the Los Angeles media thought of that is anyone’s guess. (“Saucer Investigators in Strange Disappearance,” 1953)

Was it true? Were Hunrath and Wilkinson invited to take a one-way trip to another, faraway world by benevolent aliens? Or was the whole thing a fatal ruse—a terrible ploy engineered by deadly extraterrestrials, as some of their friends and family members suspected? Others speculated that the whole affair could be explained away as mere accident and offered that nothing stranger than engine trouble had probably led to terrible tragedy and death on the mountains of California. Some, however, weren’t quite so sure that the baffling disappearance of Hunrath and Wilkinson was just due to careless pilot error or mechanical malfunction. But those same souls weren’t looking to ET for the answers, either. They were looking across the border or to the government. And not just the U.S. government.

George Hunt Williamson, who, as we have seen, spent considerable time with Hunrath and Wilkinson, was one of the more vocal ones on this matter:

Some people think the two men went to Mexico, but they didn’t have enough fuel for the trip. It has also been reported that Karl is in England and will reappear shortly and also that he has been seen recently in Los Angeles with his hair dyed. He has been called a spaceman, a man possessed of evil spirits, an angel, a member of the F.B.I., and a Russian spy. What he really was no-one [sic] knows (Williamson, 1953).

Despite having occurred more than 60 years ago, the story of the baffling disappearance of Hunrath and Wilkinson refuses to fully roll over and die. Shortly before his death in November 2012, at the age of 81, longtime UFO researcher Jim Moseley shared with me his decades-old notes on the Hunrath-Wilkinson affair, compiled as part of a plan to write an ultimately aborted book on the 1950s-era UFO scene.

In part, Moseley’s December 1953 notes state that certain, pertinent information was brought to his attention by Manon Darlaine, a rich, elderly woman who worked with French Intelligence during the First World War and who later moved to Los Angeles to follow her passion for UFOs. In Moseley’s own words, and according to Darlaine, the aircraft in which Hunrath and Wilkinson vanished “has been found, but the men have not. The plane was dismantled, i.e., taken apart carefully and willfully, but not destroyed or damaged as it would be in a crash. This fact serves to deepen the mystery” (Moseley, 1953).

It certainly does deepen the puzzle. With Darlaine, Williamson, Adamski, Hunrath, and Wilkinson all long gone, and Moseley having now passed on, too, it seems that whatever really led to the disappearance of that curious pair of UFO researchers in the November 1953 skies of California is something destined to remain a mystery.

 

A Plane Crashes; Two Men Die

Despite the long and winding nature of the story, and its undeniable links to the UFO phenomenon, one has to wonder if Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson really were taken out of circulation by extraterrestrials or if their vanishing act was carefully staged. There’s a very good reason for that speculation. It revolves around two things in particular. Recall that Hunrath was (a) originally from Racine, Wisconsin and (b) had supposedly been given an advanced alien weapon that could disable and destroy U.S. military aircraft. This was the oddly named Bosco, you will recall. Under very weird circumstances, less than two weeks after Hunrath and Wilkinson went missing, and only a short distance from Racine, two baffling and deadly events occurred, both involving military jets, one of which crashed and the other vanished, never to be seen again.

It all began on the afternoon of November 23, 1953, when a Northrop F-89 Scorpion aircraft, flying out of Truax Field, Madison, Wisconsin, plunged from the skies and slammed into the swampy shores of Lake Wingra, a small body of water, also in Madison. On board were pilot First Lieutenant John W. Schmidt and radar operator Captain Glen E. Collins. The story was big news for the people of Madison. It was tragic news, too, because both men were killed in the crash.

Madison’s local newspaper, the Capital Times, on November 24, 1953, noted that one Colonel Shoup, a spokesperson for Truax Field, was “convinced that the men had stuck with their plane in an attempt to keep it from crashing into densely-occupied areas of Madison. He praised the cooperation of police, fireman, members of the press and radio and others in trying to find the men” (“Second Truax Jet, 2 Fliers Missing,” 1953). The newspaper added that a “sudden mechanical failure” caused the crash—a “failure” that occurred so quickly neither Schmidt nor Collins had time to bail out or make a distress call (Ibid.). Significantly, when Major Donald E. Keyhoe—a noted UFO investigator from the 1950s to the 1980s—looked into the matter, he learned from a colleague, Frank Edwards, that “several witnesses said a saucer flew near the plane, just before it dived into a swamp” (Ibid.).

 

The distance from Karl Hunrath’s hometown of Racine, Wisconsin, to Madison, Wisconsin, was just 104 miles by road, which would have presented no problems in transporting the allegedly shoebox-sized Bosco and deploying it somewhere in the vicinity of Madison.

Jupiter’s radio signals could help find aliens

(Before It's News)

Astrobiologists are excited about the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Evidence suggests this icy moon is home to a vast subsurface ocean. But until tools land on the moon to drill through the ice, ice-penetrating radar is the best method researchers have to confirm the existence of an ocean below the moon’s surface. Unfortunately, Jupiter’s own radio waves interfere with this process. But researchers believe they can use these radio waves to their advantage.

Phys.org explains that Jupiter’s radio waves come from clouds of electrically charged particles trapped in the planet’s magnetic field. In order to cut through the interference from Jupiter’s loud radio signals, “a mission probing Jupiter’s moons would need a relatively strong transmitter, a massive device that might be difficult to power and fit aboard the limited confines of a spacecraft.”

But rather than putting a transmitter on a spacecraft to fight against Jupiter’s radio signals, a new study suggests harnessing these radio waves to scan the planet’s moons, including Europa. The study’s lead author, Andrew Romero-Wolf at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains, “The technique we are developing could not only provide a solution to that problem, it could turn it into a strength.” He continues,

The great strength of this technique is that it doesn’t need a transmitter, just a receiver . . . A scanning system for subsurface oceans in icy moons potentially already exists. All we have to do is go there and listen.

As Phys.org describes, this process, known as interferometric reflectometry, would work by positioning a spacecraft between Jupiter and one of its icy moons, which would monitor decametric emissions from Jupiter and echoes of signals reflected off the moon. This process would enable researchers to determine the thickness of the moon’s ice shell and its ocean’s depth.

Experts believe Europa has two-to-three times the volume of all the liquid water on Earth, so Europa’s ocean is likely to have a wide variety of ecosystems. And a recent study suggests that the building blocks for life are common on this icy moon.

Romero-Wolf is excited about the information that can be acquired by utilizing interferometric reflectometry. But he cautions, “”Unambiguous observation of a subsurface ocean or liquids in the ice of Europa is only the first step towards identifying the possibility for life . . . What we are proposing will not be able to tell us whether there are living organisms in Europa, but it could provide strong evidence for that possibility.”

This new study will be published in the journal Icarus.

The Menhune of Hawaii – Ancient Race or Fictional Fairytale?

(Before It's News)

In Hawaiian mythology, the Menehune are said to be an ancient race of people small in stature, who lived in Hawaii before settlers arrived from Polynesia. Many scholars attribute ancient structures found on the Hawaiian Islands to the Menehune. However, others have argued that the legends of the Menehune are a post-European contact mythology and that no such race existed.

The mythology of the Menehune is as old as the beginnings of Polynesian history. When the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii, they found dams, fish-ponds, roads, and even temples, all said to have been built by the Menehune who were superb craftspeople. Some of these structures still exist, and the highly-skilled craftsmanship is evident.  According to legend, each Menehune was a master of a certain craft and had one special function they accomplished with great precision and expertise. They would set out at dusk to build something in one night, and if this was not achieved, it would be abandoned.

Some scholars, such as folklorist Katharine Luomala, theorize that the Menehune were the first settlers of Hawaii, descendants of the Marquesas islanders who were believed to have first occupied the Hawaiian Islands from around 0 to 350 AD. When the Tahitian invasion occurred in about 1100 AD, the first settlers were subdued by the Tahitians, who referred to the inhabitants as ‘manahune’ (which means ‘lowly people’ or ‘low social status’ and not diminutive in stature). They fled to the mountains and later came to be called ‘Menehune’.  Proponents of this theory point to an 1820 census which listed 65 people as Menehune.

Luomala claims that the Menehune are not mentioned in pre-contact mythology and therefore the name does not refer to an ancient race of people. However, this argument holds little weight as most accounts of the past were passed down through word-of-mouth from one generation to the next.

If Luomala, and other scholars in her camp, is correct, and there was no ancient race of skilled craftspeople that predated the Polynesians, then there must be an alternative explanation for the ancient constructions of advanced design, which predated any known population in Hawaii. However, no alternative explanations exist and most history books still maintain that the Polynesians were the first inhabitants of Hawaii, some 1,500 years ago. So let’s examine some of the ancient constructions that have been attributed to the Menehune in the mythology of the region.

 Alekoko  Fishpond Wall at Niumalu, Kauaʻi

Alekoko, Kauai: Menehune Fishpond. Photo source.

The Alekoko Fishpond, sometimes called the Menhune Fishpond, is one of the finest examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture. A lava rock wall between the pond and the Hulei’a River, which is 900 feet (274 m) long and 5 feet (1.5 m) high, was built to create a dam across a portion of the river in order to trap young fish until they grew large enough to consume.  The stones that were used come from Makaweli village, some 25 miles (40 km) away. It is considered to be an unexplained engineering achievement and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Hawaiian legend states that the pond was built in one night by the Menehune, who formed an assembly line from the fishpond location to Makaweli, passing stones one-by-one from start to end point.

The Ceremonial Site of Necker Island

Necker Island is part of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Few signs of long-term human habitation have been found. However, the island contains 52 archaeological site with 33 ceremonial heiau (basalt upright stones), believed to be celestially oriented, and stone artifacts much like those found in the main Hawaiian Islands.  The heiau vary only slightly in design, but generally feature rectangular platforms, courts and upright stones. One of the largest of these ceremonial sites measures 18.6 meters by 8.2 meters. Eleven upright stones, of what are believed to be the original 19, are still standing.

Many anthropologists believe that the island was a ceremonial and religious site. According to the myths and legends of the people of Kauai, which lies to the southeast, Necker Island was the last known refuge for the Menehune.  According to the legend, the Menehune settled on Necker after being chased off Kaua’i by the stronger Polynesians and subsequently built the various stone structures there. Visits to the island are said to have started a few hundred years after the main Hawaiian Islands were inhabited, and ended a few hundred years before European contact.

The Kīkīaola Ditch at Waimea, Kauaʻi

Kīkīaola is a historic irrigation ditch located near Waimea on the island of Kauai. Also known as the Menehune Ditch, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1984.  Hawaiians built many stone-lined ditches to irrigate ponds for growing taro (kalo), but very rarely employed dressed stone to line ditches. The 120 finely cut basalt blocks that line about 200 feet of the outer wall of the Menehune Ditch make it not just exceptional, but “the acme of stone-faced ditches” in the words of archaeologist Wendell C. Bennett. It is purported to have been built by the Menehune.

To date, no human skeletal remains of a physically small race of people have ever been found on Kaua’I or on any other Hawaiian islands. While this does not disprove that a race of small people existed, it does draw the truth behind the legend into question. Nevertheless, there is compelling evidence, both archaeological and in the numerous legends passed down over generations, that suggests that there was indeed an ancient race of highly skilled people who inhabited the Hawaiian islands long before the Polynesians arrived

Fantastically Wrong: The Surprising Truth Behind the Horrifying Banshee

(Before It's News)

A resting banshee, from Thomas Crofton Croker’s Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland (1834). Flying around people’s houses and screaming at all hours of the night, it turns out, is hard work. And that castle over there has a ridiculous perimeter to cover. Source

In Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, the Grim Reaper visits a lovely little dinner party to inform the guests that unfortunately they’re dead. After refusing wine and poking a man in the eye, he leads them to heaven, where there is, of course, a nice musical number.

Conspicuously absent for a British production, though, is the banshee of Irish and Scottish mythology, an ugly, nasty hag clad either in white or gray. A kind of fairy, she’s said to soar around your house, screaming like a manic demon to not so subtly let you know you’re about to die, usually in a violent manner. But unlike the Grim Reaper, this lady doesn’t murder you herself. She’s more of a hands-off type of death omen.

A fixture in U.K. myth-telling for some 1,000 years, particularly among elite families with a penchant for making death particularly dramatic, the banshee can also take the form of a beautiful woman weeping instead of wailing, all upset about your looming death. Also known as the Washer of the Ford, she can sometimes be seen scrubbing her bloodied robe in a river and preening her long hair with a silver comb.

Have you seen this woman? Do you suspect she’s been buzzing your house? Here’s how to prove it.

Wait until night falls, then put a caged rat in your front yard (stick with me here). When you hear that banshee come screaming and rattling that cage, hit the lights. You’ll find one of the night’s most majestic creatures, the barn owl, probably looking a bit pissed off about its rudely inaccessible dinner.

This ghostly creature has gorgeously white underparts and a scream like you wouldn’t believe (have a listen below), and has for centuries served as the likely source of the banshee myth. Far from the legend, though, this is an exceedingly graceful critter whose wails echo across every continent save for Antarctica.

Hunting primarily at night, the barn owl gathers the scant light with its large eyes and uses its entire heart-shaped face to funnel the waves to ears right next to its peepers. Its ears are actually shaped and oriented differently, with one pointing down and the other pointing up, like sloth from The Goonies.

With each ear processing sounds quite differently, the owl’s brain analyzes the variations between the ears to pinpoint prey. It’s so effective that the owl can hunt with sound alone, homing in on rodents rummaging around in the grass below. Once it locks on, it dives and pounces with its unusually long legs—an adaptation to hunting in tall grasses.

Barn owls are most charismatic when you can’t hear them screaming your ear off. Image: Phil Haynes/Flickr

As for that beautiful plumage, it might seem odd for a nocturnal hunter to be clad in white. It’s likely a measure, though, to break up its silhouette. This is known as countershading. If moonlight hits, say, a uniformly brown owl, it creates a gradient of a lighter top side and darker bottom side, manifesting as a silhouette for potential prey on the ground. With its bright white underbelly, the barn owl counteracts this shadowing effect, thus breaking up its profile. And the owl’s brownish top side helps it blend with the foliage below, masking it from its own predators above, such as eagles.

The feathers are also highly adapted for silent flight, with extremely fine fringes that reduce turbulence, and therefore noise. The owls are positively packed with these soft, velvety feathers that help absorb sounds, far more than most birds their size (the critters are positively scrawny without their feathers on—like, hilariously so). And the intense curvature of their wings boosts lift, so the owls can cut down on the number of wing beats required to stay aloft, yet another way to reduce noises that potentially scare off prey.

Such does the critter stalk the night in total silence, save for screaming its head off now and then. But at least it isn’t bloodying up our rivers with its dirty laundry.

Orbs: Paranormal Or A Digital Camera Reflection

(Before It's News)

Orbs – A digital camera anomaly or something paranormal?

After taking several hundred photos while on my holiday trip to Malta I got to thinking about orbs. I usually capture a few amongst my pictures or even a ghost! This time though nothing unusual or out of this world.

The Ghost Photo of  Broomfield Cottage – see here

Of course many will say that the likes of orbs or globes are down to the digital cameras we now use. The usual explanation is that orbs are caused by light bouncing back from a shiny or reflective surface, which the human eye doesn’t notice. And yet, there does seem to be true orbs caught on camera – but what are they?

Reading opinions of paranormal orbs they seem to fall into several categories. You take your pick as to which one might be true. Here are five popular suggestions:

1. Orbs are the souls of spirits manifesting as a circle or ball of energy.
2. They are energy emitted by objects and/or people which a spirit can then use for its own energy.
3. Orbs are similar to ghosts in that they are energy from a past event that has somehow been captured within the atmosphere of a place or building. The stronger the emotional event, the brighter the orb. A bitter conflict would register high on such a scale.
4. Orbs are a method by which spirits make themselves known.
5. They are viewing instruments for spirits in another dimension.

There is another alternative mentioned by the writer Theresa Cheung:

I guess we all believe in want we want to believe.

Giant Mounds Found All Around the Earth!

(Before It's News)

(Bahrain, 4000-year-old burial mounds) In fact, these mounds were found on an island with people who lived off the sea - classic "originator" characteristic.

Above -  This Russian mound skull from a 2500-year-old mound had a necklace they call the "Cleopatra Necklace" because it looked "Egyptian" (remember the finds in America believed to have Egyptian looking heiroglyphs and art? The signature of the "Originators" art and language seen around the world and influencing others?) 

 

Does she kind of look like the Humboldt Sink "robust otamid" (Sloped-forehead skull) found in Oregon that I wrote about? *Notice the thrusting carnivorous robust jaw on the Russian mound skull and this Humboldt Sink one compared to the "homo sapiens" one below - 

 

 

Syria-Turkey border mound

The interesting thing about all these mounds found around the world (besides the fact they were constructed nearly identically and shaped alike) is the very real fact that, if man was circumventing the globe and influencing each other's building in the BCE (before common era or what was known as Before Christ) era, they were not leaving their other cultural attributes. There should be Mesopotamian writings in Siberia and the Americas and pottery designs and such that are equivalent, as well as the skulls of those other culture people who do not belong there. 

 

What we are left with is the possibility that such structures were being built around the world by a singular group that influenced incoming homo sapiens to imitate and initiate their own builds. The universal language of these "Originators" allowed similarities in early cuneiform writing around the world simultaneously. In fact, in Africa, they found that Heidelbergensis and Neanderthal, who came before homo sapiens in the continent, left tools behind that the homo sapiens borrowed and used. Those two originators also left the continent of Africa about 700,000 years before homo sapiens emerged from Africa to explore the world. What did they do for those 700,000 years???  How about build more knowledge and world exploration that we would cobble onto at a later date? In other words, they did all the hard early learning for us in the evolutionary process.

Source: It is generally agreed that true writing of language (not only numbers) was invented independently in at least two places: Mesopotamia (3200 BCE) and Mesoamerica around 600 BCE... It is debated whether writing systems were developed completely independently in Egypt around 3200 BCE and China around 1200 BCE or whether the appearance of writing in either or both places was due to culture diffusion.... brought by traders or an already-literate civilization!!!! (DING! DING! DING!)

 

What we are left with is a universal glue that holds all cultures together even when homo sapiens were not circumventing the globe in ships thousands of years BC. What was the giver of the Bronze age and the launcher of our great and fast knowledge? The influences we had since 80,000 years ago when leaving Africa - those who were the Originators.

 

Let's end this on a very very weird note - the Mima Mounds - 

These mounds are still a mystery as to how they were formed, though it is believed to have been an act of nature.

Three Monster Giant Skeletons Exhumed in Chillicothe, Ohio 1898

(Before It's News)

For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com

Daily Newburgh Journal, October 26, 1898, pg 1. An account of the unearthing of three unusually tall skeletons in Chillicothe, Ohio is given. Chillicothe was the site of many ancient geometric earthworks. The circle and octagon formation in Chillicothe connected with a similar circle and octagon 60 miles away in Newark Ohio. Earthen walls ran the 60 miles at a distance of 180 feet wide the entire length via the great Hopewell Road. Built roughly 2000 years ago both circle and… octagon’s measured the 18.61 metonic cycle of the moon thus predicting eclipses as first reported by researchers Hively and Horn of Earlham College in the 1980′s. From the article, “Careful surveys have established the exactness of the figures. Great labor must have been required to construct this great intrenchment.” In regards to the skeletons, “There have been unearthed at Chillicothe, Ohio, three monster skeletons. They were found in the neighborhood of what was at one time one of the most important earthworks of the mound builders. The skeletons, which were those of men over seven feet in height, were found in various postures and it is supposed they fell either defending or attacking the earthworks and were buried with military honors.” Chillicothe joins the long list of ancient earthworks, pryramids and mounds that yielded giant skeletons.

Sasquatch Multidimensional Being From Planet Malduk

(Before It's News)

An Article About Thomas Hughes. Thomas also is a host on Wolf Spirit Radio   This past week, I had several wonderful conversations with a gentleman named Thomas Hughes. Thomas has been communicating with numerous Sasquatch since his first encounter in April 2008. He has a wealth of knowledge about their existence and whereabouts, some of which he shared with me.

Sasquatch are gentle and playful giants. They range in height from 6 – 15 feet and live to an age of approximately 120-140 years. They are natural pranksters and are caretakers of Mother Earth. What I mean by caretakers is that they have adapted themselves to the planet instead of trying to change the environment to suit them. These beings have the ancient knowledge of plants and the way this planet operates.

Like humans, there are a variety of different species and they reside all over the world mostly in the mountain areas. Obviously, they prefer dense forest areas where they can thrive and be hidden from human populations.

Sasquatch are highly intelligent, multi-dimensional beings who used to reside on a planet called Malduk, which is now the asteroid belt. When their planet was destroyed approximately 300,000 years ago, they migrated to other planetary systems by teleportation through the use of pyramids, and some by space ships. These beings live mostly in small, close-knit communities. Their decisions are based on how it would affect the whole group and not just the individual.

They have the ability to raise their frequency just enough to be able to become invisible to humans. They fear humans – seeing them as their greatest threat. So, most of the time, they go invisible when humans are around to avoid being hunted and killed. Sasquatch are aware they are seen from time to time.

Some Sasquatch communicate with humans who are not perceived as a threat. The method of communication is similar to the way channelers communicate with other multi-dimensional beings. Respect, trust and accepting them as equals are tools to gaining their trust.

The Sasquatch tends to sleep during the day, but are usually up and about by the late afternoon. So, when you’re in forest areas at those times, have your camera ready. You’ll never know what you’ll capture on film.

I asked Thomas questions regarding their eating habits, mating, and how they act as a species overall. He said that they eat both meat and vegetation. They do eat animals when hungry and will leave the scraps for other animals to feed upon as well. I asked if they would kill and eat humans. The answer was a loud no. With their giant size and strength, they could squash us with one blow. However, unnecessary violence is not part of their nature and is unacceptable in their culture. Instead of having a confrontation with a human, they will run away faster than one can ever imagine. In general, Sasquatch’s do not kill unless they are being threatened or are hungry. However, there are a few who are outcasts and cannibalistic. These outcasts are shunned by their own kind.

Their genetic and emotional makeup is very similar to that of the human race. Most have mates, with some having more than one. Unlike many humans, they highly respect Mother Earth and blend in with the elements of nature. Sometimes, these giants can be heard imitating nature sounds. And, they are also able to speak multiple languages in addition to their own.

Another question I asked Thomas is that I heard their odor was unbearable to smell. He said this was true, for the reason that dirt acts of kind of a protective coating for them during the different seasons. Bathing is not as important to them as it is to us. Dirt is just another natural element – like the air that they breathe.

Various Nephilim/Alien Species and What They Look Like Exposed By A Scientist In Hiding…

(Before It's News)

The masses have been trained to call the Nephilim of Genesis chapter six by another new name, “aliens.” These so called “aliens” have been involved with mankind since day one. They are not from another planet, rather they are interdimensional beings and per the Bible, are the satanic offspring of Fallen Watcher Angels and humans.

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.” Genesis 6:4

Not only did the fallen angels have sex with humans, but they also had sex with the beasts of the field.

“They [Fallen Angels and Nephilim] began to sin [have sex] against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood.” The Book of Enoch

When these fallen angels and their Nephilim offspring had sex with animals this produced a variety of hybrid creatures including: bigfoot’s, lizard beings, etc.  

The information in the video below discus this in detail. Furthermore, it was leaked by a scientist now in hiding.

The information—-as out there as it might seem—-has been verified from the highest of sources. All I ask is that when watching it, you keep an open mind….

 I believe the book of Revelations speaks of these Alien’s…

•  “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty… Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.”  Rev 16:12-19, 21

In this chapter the Bible speaks of three evil spirits that look like frogs, who go forth deceiving not only the kings, but the whole world. Note that these beings are not frogs, but they do resemble them. Meaning they have an amphibian or reptilian appearance and it further describes them as unclean spirits or demons. Therefore, I do believe it’s possible that John was talking about Nephilim when he wrote the book of Revelation.

Inter-Dimensional Invasion Begins

Upon first glance the uninitiated may find this whole idea of Inter-Dimensional beings hard to swallow. I know I did the first time I heard of it. I did not believe that creatures could exist in the higher dimensions of the Universe. Then I heard of  “String Theory” when I was studying for my Bachelors in Physics (B.Sc) in 1992.

String theory the seed concept of “M-Theory”, as mentioned above, ran into a problem: another version of the equations was discovered, then another, and then another. Eventually, there were five major string theories. The main differences between each theory were principally the number of dimensions in which the strings developed, and their characteristics (some were open loops, some were closed loops, etc.). Furthermore, all these theories appeared to be correct. Scientists were not comfortable with five seemingly contradictory sets of equations to describe the same thing.

Then came along a genius theoretical physicist named Edward Witten who combined the 5 versions of string theory that existed into one elegant design, it was coined “M-Theory” in 1994. M-theory, in which the “M” is not specifically defined, but is generally understood to stand for “membrane”. The words “matrix”, “master”, “mother”, “monster”, “mystery”, “magic” have also been claimed. M-theory brought all of the string theories together. It did this by asserting that strings are really one-dimensional slices of a two-dimensional membrane vibrating in 11-dimensional space.

How does someone wrap their head around 11 dimensions? That is a really good question. We have evolved to only perceive 4 of the 11 dimensions. All events ever experienced by humans throughout history either from the mundane to the extraordinary have at best been reported and recorded using the language of 4 dimensions.  3 spatial (X,Y,Z) and one temporal (time).

That leaves at least 7 dimensions that we are only dimly aware of. If at all. Most people intrinsically understand the spatial dimensions (X,Y, and Z) , it is the structure of all our movements , all the things in which we interact with , it is our life’s experiential structure. But Time is also a dimension, albeit times arrow only runs in one direction under normal Newtonian situations. But it is a dimension none-the-less. It is a axis of freedom in which we move, ever trudging forward ceaselessly.  To quote William Shakespeare “Time is the fire in which we burn”. What sort of experiences and entities burn in the higher 7 dimensions?

Just because we can’t see them, touch them, does not mean they do not exist. It is human bias to think that all there is, is only all that we can see. Reality is much grander and stranger then we can imagine. You can’t see x-rays, cosmic rays, protons, or even the microscopic world but they exist. Without them we could not exist.

The conundrum in  believing in extra-dimensional life is very similar to the belief or disbelief in Alien life on other planets in our Universe.  The billions of trillions of stars in our observable universe makes some people have faith in the probability that life exist elsewhere. There is so many planets around so many stars life just has to be elsewhere, we can’t just be it. It stems from a belief that in the Universe we are not so special. Our star is a normal main sequence star, with an average solar system, with average elements making up all the stuff on earth. All the constituent elements that make us up can be seen in the spectra of other stars. Since there is nothing unique about us, in us, we are not unique by constituent properties or as a whole.

While at the same time some people believe that life on earth is a singularity an anomaly and has only happened here and no where else. They believe that we are the Universes epitome of life. Gods image as it were. It is the belief that what we see is all there is, all that can be. Personally I understand that with all the many trillions of stars and planets out in the cosmos…life has to be there. Just because I can’t see it does not mean that it does not exist. I realize my own limitations, not the limitations of the Universe in all it’s dimensions, grandeur, or high strangeness.

Now expand this whole idea to multiple dimensions and multiple universes and the odds that we are alone drops to an asymptotic zero. It is a googolplex (The number 10 raised to the power googol, written out as the numeral 1 followed by a googol (10^100 ) of zeros. ) to 1 that we are it, even slimmer odds in my opinion.

Unless stunted by medieval religion or lack of a quality education anyone who does the leg work to get an educated view of the Universe can in my opinion come to only one conclusion. That conclusion is that life is everywhere in Universe. Extrapolating this into the higher dimensions only takes one caveat to be valid, that is that we are NOT ALONE. The numbers and types of life out there does not need to be known for this statement to be true.

Being a physicist by education I just can’t believe in magic. Magic being defined as : the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Everything is understandable and nothing is beyond comprehension. Laws exist that govern everything.  Humans by no means understand everything. But ascribing an event or situation as magical or spiritual is just intellectually lazy. I think some people missed Arthur C. Clarke’s Third Law: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” I believe this pertains to high strangeness as well. 

I believe that all forms of what we call “Paranormal” is normal, maybe just not in our 4 dimensional reality. The “Inter-dimensional Hypothesis” states that UFOs, aliens, shadow people, crop circles, Bigfoot, and ghostly activity are all explained by the passage of beings from another dimension occasionally crossing into our dimension and being witnessed. The method of cross overs are not understood at this time by science. I think the main reason is that a major component in the scientific method is the requirement of reproducibility. Something has to be reproducible to be considered real.  If these so called paranormal events are anything they are certainly not on demand.

Taking the example of the 2-dimensional image and the 3-dimensional person, they exist in the same space (person holding a photograph or watching a TV) but the image has no height and consequently would not perceive such a thing because it is out of the realm of its capability.

So this might be with man in his third dimensional incarnation – we cannot perceive the next dimension because we do not possess those attributes. If the 2-dimensional photograph represents a non-intelligent/non-cognizant image of me in the third dimension, so could I in the third dimension cognitively and intelligently represent a version of me in the next dimension? Like the 3-dimensional me adds physicality to the image version of me on photograph. Each incarnation adds more understanding and more unlimited access to the universe; the 2-dimensional sits on a wall, the 3-dimensional flies around the earth, the next dimensional, who knows. 

I’ve been considering some evidence recently that we might audibly hear the interference of two dimensions. Imagine Mr. Photograph in the 2-dimensional form – what if a 3-dimensional person puts their finger on their world. Mr. Photograph only seems length and width and realizes it’s like one of his own kind but he does notice two different things –

1. That this being came out of nowhere and left all of a sudden.

2. It is giving off a lot of heat compared to the other beings in their realm. 

This kind of understanding might make it easier for us discern when and how and even where other dimensions might be interfering with our own world. Phenomena is always the best indicator and, like those freaky shadow people with detail who come and go with no notice, we see red flags. Heed those red flags. We might not understand the other dimensions, but we might also come to understand when they are playing with ours.

Shadow People

When people report seeing a shadow person out of the corner of their eye, they turn and watch it, sometimes showing a startle as if it didn’t think you could see it and then just races away into full vanish. How?

Here’s how it would work – we are 3 dimensional, we put our finger on a photograph that is a 2-dimensional image. If that 2-dimensional being had thought and vision, he would see only that part that is in the 2nd dimension with him, length and width but not height. So, he’d see another of his own kind appearing and then (when we take our finger away) vanishing! So it would be with interaction between dimensions. Only the portion we perceive in our 3rd dimension would be visible for us and the rest of it would remain only visible for those in the next dimension. This gives a good explanation for the coming and going “out of thin air” and some of the qualities that are not quite like us, such as all black solid looking figure with no detail or sheer-see-thru apparition. 

Here is the best video evidence for shadow people. The first video shows several shadow people amongst a “Jim Jones” rally.  These little creatures phase in and out, and appear to morph into a person.

Take a close look at this video, you be the judge…

Ghosts

Some things explained by this theory include the lack of evidence of visitations, the difficulty capturing them, their ability to show up and then disappear suddenly, and the inability to capture on camera or recording device. 

Here is the best evidence proving the existence of ghosts…Take a close look you be the judge…

UFO’s or Visiting Aliens

These strange visitors might be from other celestial bodies in our Universe. Nuts and Bolts space ships who learned that the speed limit of the Universe is only a suggestion are coming here.  Some of their behaviour such as de-materialization, strange abduction experiences could be explained by the Hyper Dimensional Hypothesis.

This video shows some of the best evidence of inter-dimensional entities appearing in our 4 dimensional experience. The first video clearly shows some kind of biological creature swimming passed the I.S.S. space station.  Yes, swimming in space. This little beasty might just be an inhabitant in a higher dimension just going about its day, without any perception that it is being recorded by aliens (us).

Take a long look and you be the judge…

Locations

There are also some areas like Bennington Triangle that have a wide variety of events occurring on one place that make them seem likely portals for the dimensions. Skinwalker Ranch in Utah is another popularly cited location that supposedly opens “portals” to other dimensions. 

Conclusion

Any way you look at the concept of inter-dimensional beings, I actually have it as one of the top of my list of explanations for phenomenon. I am more likely to believe that concept than souls being stuck here because they don’t know they’re dead or they unfinished business which I put light years further down my list. 

Just some of the things attributed to being inter-dimensional include; UFOs, grey aliens, reptoids, shadow people, other types of aliens, Bigfoot, Yeti, ghosts, and pretty much anything not explained that is “phenomena.”  

What do I think of it? Well, I have zero doubt there are other dimensions and since we do interact regularly with 2-dimensional images like television, there is no reason to think other dimensions don’t access ours or we interact with theirs. 

The 2-dimensional photograph might not know we touched them or that they represent an image of someone we love, but we might play a similar role to another dimension – they can interact with us, but we are limited by physicality and 5 senses and are unable to process it except in right conditions when we get a glimpse. The 2-dimensional world can’t mess with us, but we can enter theirs and mess with it – burn a photograph, draw on a sketch, whatever – but it cannot come and mess with our world. So, it might be this way with inter-dimensional beings – they have the ability to affect and enter our world, but we cannot mess with theirs.
