Mass extinction comes every 62 million years, UC physicists discover

Thursday, March 10, 2005
With surprising and mysterious regularity, life on Earth has flourished
and vanished in cycles of mass extinction every 62 million years, say
two UC Berkeley scientists who discovered the pattern after a
painstaking computer study of fossil records going back for more than 500 million
years.
Their findings are certain to generate a renewed burst of speculation
among scientists who study the history and evolution of life. Each
period of abundant life and each mass extinction has itself covered at least
a few million years -- and the trend of biodiversity has been rising
steadily ever since the last mass extinction, when dinosaurs and millions
of other life forms went extinct about 65 million years ago. …

Deja vu? Scientists have the answer
14 February 2005
HAMBURG - Most of us have experienced deja vu at least once in our
lives - that uncomfortable feeling that you have been here in this
place, in this situation before.
Usually the sensation lasts for just a moment and is quickly followed
by
the realization that you have not in fact experienced the current
situation in the past, and simply cannot know the place you are in.
Nevertheless, there is the feeling that something was there in our
memory, either in part or whole.
The sensation of deja vu, meaning "already seen", was given its name in
the 19th century, but for much longer the mental phenomenon has both
fascinated and
frightened those who experience it.
Science has had little to offer by way of explanation, adding to the
mystery.

"I've never seen anything like it," Suzanne Fuller said.
"It was hovering there for five hours, and it was completely silent."
The police arrived to the scene at 8pm, viewed the videotape, and filed

THE status of an unidentified flying object seen above the Midland
Highway Monday night remains a mystery.
Co-ordinator of UFO Reports and Sightings Tasmania Keith Roberts said
yesterday the report now fell into the 5 per cent of UFO sightings
which
could not be explained.
"We checked up with the airport, helicopter companies, crop dusters,
the
Navy and the Department of Defense and drew a blank with all of them,"
Mr Roberts said.
"Out of 100 reports, there is usually a ready explanation for 80 per
cent and further investigations explain another 15 per cent.
"This report, however, falls into the 5 per cent which are not
explained. But we are ready to receive more information which can
help."
Monday night's report was made by a 43-year-old Kingston woman who was

"Matrix of UFO Beliefs"
UFOs and Mental Health, Book One: A Briefing on the Phenomenon
by Bob Teets
Excerpts from http://www.headlinebooks.com/chapters/mental.html
The Matrix
A few years ago I worked as a consulting editor/researcher for the
non-profit Human Potential Foundation, Inc. (HPF) in Falls Church,
Virginia. HPF’s mission was to study ways of bridging so-called "New Science"
with more traditional scientific modalities. Exciting research was
occurring in areas of inter-species communication, consciousness,
life-after-death, non-human intelligence and alternative energy sources, all of
which the Foundation wanted to examine and to then aid via scientific
research in whatever ways seemed possible. When I first joined HPF, I was
surprised to learn that all of these areas under investigation were
connected in some ways with another subject the Foundation was
studying—UFOs! The primary funding source for the HPF, Laurance Rockefeller of New
York, recognized these connections and was attempting to encourage
governmental openness regarding the UFO phenomenon as part of an overall
plan to examine these areas, he said. This gave rise to a presiden!
tial briefing paper (see below) that can now help you to identify
belief systems and to then use that knowledge in ways to possibly benefit
your clients.
The following "Matrix" document, then, is the essence of a briefing
paper prepared for President Clinton and presented in 1993 to his science
advisor, Dr. John Gibbons. It was written by my former HPF colleague
and journalist friend C. Richard Farley, Jr., and remains to this day the
best and most comprehensive thumbnail overview of the UFO phenomenon
I’ve seen.
Note that when considering the following you should first take into
account your client’s belief, then compare and contrast it with the
following:
Human Potential Foundation
UFO Matrix of "Belief"
The following is a matrix of the spectrum of scenarios found in current
literature which are used to try to explain so-called UFO or ETI
activity, or the lack thereof. Each matrix entry has a supporting
constituency. Some of these constituencies are quite vocal, but no less confident
that their current belief structures are the most reasonable, given the
data which are generally accepted. There most certainly is a large
minority which is not willing to commit to one matrix entry over another,
or in combination, until additional data are available. For years,
opinion polls have consistently measured that a comfortable majority of the
American public believes in the reality of UFOs and Extraterrestrial
Intelligence.
0. All sightings except for a small minority which lack detail can be
explained in terms of naturally occurring phenomena.
1. Craft from "off planet," but from the visible universe.
2. Interdimensional penetrations by other intelligences or life-forms,
based in or operating from another (parallel) overlapping dimension
than our own "time-space."
3. Earth-based "others," referenced throughout history, who may be
other life-forms, or predominately resident in realms or dimensions we term
"spiritual."
4. Hoaxes or "dramatic" scenarios perpetrated by various intelligence
organizations as part of broader security or disinformation campaigns.
5. Broader "social engineering," or population mind-influencing
programs, designed to promote a more "universal" planetary consciousness and
to reduce the influence of nationalistic or religious traditions.
6. Any combination of the above, including "all of the above." Intent:
unknown.
Possible U.S. Government levels of awareness, involvement and/or
"control" of the phenomena termed "UFO."
0. No activity, inasmuch as the phenomena are explained by naturally
occurring events.
1. Aware, but not directly involved or in contact with the perpetrating
forces.
2. In contact to some degree, and "co-operating" with at least some of
the source-phenomena or intelligences, either for technology trading or
because government believes it has no choice.
3. Government is the perpetrator of at least some of the phenomenology,
perhaps drawing on the source experience for ideas and methods, but
employing the events for other purposes, such as intelligence,
disinformation or to alarm other nations.
4. At least some UFO phenomena are results of government or other
agency sponsored experiments in "mind-control," or "social control"
experiments or initiatives.
Please Note: The Human Potential Foundation, Inc. does not endorse any
of the entries of the preceding Matrix of Belief. The Matrix has been
prepared to stimulate discussion and research into the broad spectrum of
ideas that are represented in current literature addressing what are
popularly known as UFO phenomena.

Discussion
Matrix of UFO Beliefs was designed to be a multifaceted investigative
tool
by Dick Farley
<cloudrider@aol.com>
WASHINGTON, DC - In October, 1992, philanthropist Laurance S.
Rockefeller asked the Human Potential Foundation, Inc., (HPF) to staff his UFO
declassification initiative to the White House.
I had been hired as the director of project development for the HPF,
chaired by Rhode Island’s U. S. Senator Claiborne Pell, a close friend of
Mr. Rockefeller’s who also was serving at that time as Chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In turn, Laurance Rockefeller was at that juncture essentially our
"sole source" benefactor, helping Senator Pell and HPF’s president, Dr. C.
B. "Scott" Jones, Jr., get the foundation up and active. We were
developing a spectrum of program initiatives designed to bring exotic or
emergent new scientific paradigms into closer and more objective
evaluations by "establishment" disciplines than "new science" had usually
received in the past.
My task in support of our White House UFO disclosure effort was to
recommend and produce background materials for Mr. Rockefeller to leave
behind after his meeting to make his case. One of these documents HPF
later sent to White House Science Advisor, Dr. John Gibbons, was the Matrix
of UFO Beliefs, on which I had been working long before signing on with
the HPF.
The Matrix of UFO Beliefs is an investigative and analytical tool that
had its genesis during my 20 years of active inquiry into "UFO"
phenomena. It reflects primary categories into which beliefs about UFOs seem
to fall, when allowing for the broadest range of reported phenomena and
perceptions.
Contributors to my thinking included Dr. J. Allen Hynek, in a series of
conversations we had (1981 to 1984), as well as Dr. Jacques Vallee, who
played an early consultative role in what HPF did to support Mr.
Rockefeller’s interest in UFO disclosure.
Diversity and apparent divergence of various UFO-related experiences
are relatively well-represented in the Matrix of UFO Beliefs, because it
does not require immediate exclusions and preconditions before a belief
or "causality" is considered.
The Matrix of UFO Beliefs was not designed to suggest to the President
or his advisors what "all the UFOs might be." And the paper reflects my
assumption that, for at least some publicly perceived "UFOs," various
of our government’s branches would be expected to know very well what
may have been witnessed.
Primarily, the Matrix of UFO Beliefs was to serve us as our outline for
a briefing of the President and his senior advisors on the range of
public opinions and beliefs about UFOs as had been determined from: the
popular literature; activity at UFO conferences; and throughout
respective UFO venues into which beliefs evolved or had been seeded, manipulated
or reinforced.
The second part of the Matrix of UFO Beliefs is reflective of our
assessment (5/14/93) of the range of citizen beliefs about what our
government might know, and what roles its agencies may have been or be playing.
These analyses I also arrived at by sifting through most of the
organizational venues of "UFOlogy."
Mr. Rockefeller’s first meeting on this matter was with White House
Science Advisor, Dr. John Gibbons, in mid-April, 1993. It had been
preceded by an exchange of preparatory letters among Mr. Rockefeller;
then-Defense Secretary-designate Les Aspin; Rockefeller friend and former
(Nixon era) Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird; the Rev. Dr. Billy Graham,
and important others.
Mr. Rockefeller had invited some of these men to "sign on" to his
proposed UFO disclosure letter to President Bill Clinton. HPF’s staffers and
consultants joined with Mr. Rockefeller’s advisors in drafting and
revising this letter, both before Laurance’s meeting with Dr. Gibbons and
during HPF’s subsequent support.
The Matrix of UFO Beliefs was delivered to Dr. Gibbons at the White
House in mid-May, 1993, along with a dozen selected popular books about
the UFO phenomena that had been chosen (by me) to be representative of
the various UFO beliefs as my document reflected, as outlined in its
annotated bibliography.
Mr. Rockefeller’s second meeting on this matter, along with Dr. Jones
and Washington attorney Henry L. Diamond, was with Dr. Gibbons and
several White House staff members, Feb. 4, 1994.
*****
If you use your own knowledge of human psychology/altered states of
consciousness and then open your current belief system to incorporate and
to overlay this Matrix, you may well discover a dynamic new structure
capable of helping you to help your clients in more meaningful ways.

Excerpts from : http://www.presidentialufo.com/
Both Dr. "Kit" Green and Dr. Ronald Pandolfi had each been in charge of
what has come to be known at the CIA as the "Weird Desk." This is the
station where all the UFO and other paranormal topic files are kept.
Maccabee termed the job done by Pandolfi and Green as the "Keepers of the
Weird."
The second Farley letter found in the OSTP was dated May 1, 1995. It
was a letter that was actually addressed to the Commander of the U.S.
Coast Guard. It was only a single page with one attachment. The attachment
was two pages from a study done for the U.S. Coast Guard titled The
Road to 2012: Looking Towards the Next Two Decades. This futuristic report
was written by John L. Petersen of the Arlington Institute.
The enclosure referenced a futurist "Wild Card" scenario postulated by
John Petersen. ("Official Contact is Made with Extraterrestrials"). The
importance of the extraterrestrial scenario appearing in a study done
for the Coast Guard, possibly paid for by taxpayers, was the possible
link to CSETI Director Dr. Steven Greer, who was using Petersen as one of
his key military advisors. Farley wrote of the important connection,
"People claiming association with Mr. Petersen, and who also are quite
deeply involved in a professed public campaign claiming to be about
"making contact with extra-terrestrials" have cited this report, and Mr.
Petersen’s asserted ‘high-level government contacts" in their soliciting
of private funding in support of this group’s alleged "Project
Starlight." Billed as an effort to persuade U.S. citizens that contacts with
"ETs" in "UFOs" are either imminent or have been made, this group also
has been positioning itself to play an "international role" managing
public responses. This subject organization is based in North Carolina, and
calls itself CSETI, (Committee to Study Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence
. . . CSETI has received funding from Laurance Rockefeller."
Interestingly, Farley’s letter concerning Dr. Greer and John Petersen
was sent at exactly the same time that Dr. Greer was writing a memo to
President Clinton. Greer was writing the President "requesting a meeting
with relevant Administration as soon as possible." In addition, Dr.
Greer wrote seeking White House cooperation in a project that he and
Laurance Rockefeller were working on.
"CSETI, Mr. Laurance Rockefeller, Astronaut Gordon Cooper, as well as
several other prominent astronauts and military figures will be
convening a meeting of witnesses on June 2, 3, 4, 1995, and we invite the
Administration to send an observer or participant to this meeting."
This meeting of high quality witnesses (Asilomer Conference) is never
mentioned in the OSTP files, even though Laurance Rockefeller did
finance the conference. Dr. Steven Greer, who had gathered the witnesses
together, is also never directly mentioned in the OSTP files which is
strange in light of the numerous contacts that Dr. Greer had inside the
White House. Rumors circulated on the Internet that Dr. Greer had indeed
provided two briefing to Science Advisor Dr. Gibbons.
The references to Greer briefing Gibbons may have been a reference to
Rockefeller and Jones doing the briefing as a part of the Greer team. It
seems had to believe Greer would move to brief Gibbons when he knew
Rockefeller was doing the same thing. A reference to Gibbons in Greer’s
May 1995 Memo to President Clinton does make one think about the Greer
role in the Clinton OSTP.
Please find enclosed several documents previously conveyed to the
Administration via the Director of Central Intelligence (James Woolsey), the
President’s Science Advisor, and Mr. Bruce Lindsey.
On June 4, 1995, the twenty-four participants of the Asilomar
Conference wrote a letter to President Clinton asking "that the appropriate
members of the Administration meet with members of the Project Starlight
Coalition . . .that the President issue an executive order to release
U.S. government witnesses from their national security obligations/oaths
related the subject (UFOs) . . . and that the President issue an
executive order to declassify and release currently classified materials,
documents and evidence related to the subject. . ."
There were now at least three major efforts focused at the White House
1) Rockefeller’s Disclosure Group 2) Richard Farley and 3) Dr. Steven’s
Greer’s group. Each group was making contact with their contacts inside
the White House. Each group was writing letters and presenting evidence
to support their case.
These contacts and letters, like many before, did not break the logjam
and release the classified UFO information. With these drawbacks in
mind, Laurance Rockefeller patience had worn thin. He prepared himself to
go directly to the President.
The Best Available Evidence Briefing Document: Rockefeller Report
On February 5, 1996, Laurance Rockefeller wrote a letter to Jack
Gibbons thanking him for what he called "the very productive phone call last
week." In the same letter, Rockefeller promised to provide Gibbons with
a copy of a UFO briefing report titled Unidentified Flying Objects: The
Best Available Evidence (BAE). Rockefeller wrote that he would be very
interested in Gibbons’ reaction to the material contained in the
report.
A few weeks later, on February 29, Rockefeller wrote Gibbons again. To
his letter, Rockefeller attached a 27-page Executive Summary of the
Unidentified Flying Object Briefing Document: Best Available Evidence.
Along with the Executive Summary, Rockefeller provided Gibbons with his
assessment of the report he had financed,
"While I do not necessarily agree with every finding and conclusion, I
do believe that the evidence presented indicates that this subject
merits serious scientific study. Toward that end, I hope that our
government, other governments, and the United Nations will cooperate in making
any information they may have available."
The Executive Summary was not the only report funded by Rockefeller.
There were actually three different Best Available Evidence briefing
documents produced for Rockefeller.
November 1995 - a 129-page draft of Unidentified Flying Objects: The
Best Available Evidence was printed and sent to various people around the
world for comments and suggestions. A copy of this was found in the
OSTP files. It was probably provided by Laurance Rockefeller.
December 1995 - UFORC Committee Chairman Richard Hall writes a 27-page
Unidentified Flying Objects: The Best Available Evidence-Executive
Summary. A copy of this was mailed to OSTP in February 1996 by Rockefeller
and is found in the files.
December 1995 released February 1996 - The final 169-page Unidentified
Flying Objects: The Best Available Evidence is published. There is no
copy of this in the OSTP files.
The financing of the Best Available Evidence report was also only one
in a whole series of UFO research efforts that Rockefeller had financed
in the early nineties. He had been a constant source of what
researchers referred to as "Rockeybucks," i.e., money spent by Rockefeller to get
to the bottom of the UFO mystery.
Like the UFO mystery there are things that remain secret and unsolved.
The investigation continues.

FROM THE DEAN OF HOLLOW EARTH STUDIES ON THE INTERNET:
Dean Dominic De Lucia
The Underground Origins of UFOs
The conception of a hollow earth presented in this book offers the most
reasonable theory of the origin of the flying saucers and is far more
logical than the belief in their interplanetary origin. For this reason,
leading flying saucer experts, as Ray Palmer, editor of "Flying
Saucers" magazine, and Gray Barker, a well known writer on flying saucers,
have accepted the theory of their sub-terranean origin as against the idea
that they come from other planets.
The theory that flying saucers came from the Earth's interior and not
from other planets originated in Brazil and only later was it taken up
by American flying saucer experts.
In 1957, while browsing in a Sao Paulo, Brazil, book-store, the author
came across a book that struck his at-tention, entitled, "From the
Subterranean World to the Sky: Flying Saucers," by O. C. Huguenin. It was
the book's thesis that flying saucers were not space ships from other
planets but were of terrestrial origin and came from a subterranean race
dwelling inside the earth.
At first, the author could not accept this strange, un-orthodox theory
concerning the origin of the flying saucers, which seemed improbable
and impossible, since it would require the existence of a cavity of
tremendous size inside the earth in which they could fly, in view of their
tremendous speed. In fact, this cavity would have to be so large that it
would make the earth a hollow sphere. At this time the author had not
come across the remarkable books of two American scientists, William
Reed and Marshall B. Gardner, proving, on basis of evidence from Arctic
explorers, that the earth is hollow with openings at the Poles, with a
diameter of 5,800 miles in its hollow interior, large enough for flying
saucers to fly in.
Huguenin's theory of the subterranean origin of the flying saucers,
however, was not original. The idea was first put forward by Professor
Henrique Jose de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society,
which has its headquarters in Sao Lourenco in the State of Minas Gerais,
where there is an immense temple in Greek style dedicated to "Agharta,"
the Buddhist name for the Subterranean World.
Among the professor's students at Sao Lourenco were Mr. Huguenin and
Commander Paulo Justino Strauss, officer of the Brazilian Navy and member
of the Diretoria of the Brazilian Theosophical Society. From him they
learned about the Subterranean World, and also the idea that flying
saucers come from the Earth's interior. It was for this reason that Mr.
Huguenin dedi-cated his book to Prof. de Souza and his wife, D. Helena
Jefferson de Souza….

POLAR Scientists Discover the Energy Source Powering the Aurora
John Wygant , University of Minnesota
Physicists have long known that the aurora are created by intense
electron beams which impact the upper atmosphere of the earth creating
visible displays. These electron beams carry a major portion of the energy
released in magnetospheric substorms. Until the Polar observations it
has never been clear where the energy comes from to create these beams.
The Polar spacecraft is instrumented with the first three dimensional
electric field detector to fly in the outer magnetosphere of the Earth.
This detector consists of spherical sensors of the spacecraft at the
ends of 100m and 130 m booms in the spin plane of the spacecraft, as well
as 14 meter booms along the spacecraft spin axis. The spacecraft also
has imagers which the provide pictures of the aurora and estimates of
the energy flux involved in the creation of the aurora.

Ancient Astronauts
From Zecharia Sitchen's Earth Chronicles
Events Before the Deluge
The term Ancient Astronauts generally refers to extraterrestrials who
came to Earth and were in some way responsible for seeding the human
race.
The most notorious proponent of this idea is Erich von Daniken, author
of several popular books on the subject. His best-selling Chariots of
the Gods, published in 1968, argued that spacecraft landed long before
modern humanity peopled the Earth.
The ancient visitors carried out breeding experiments and produced a
creature intelligent enough to have the rules of society imparted to it.
These new beings invented agriculture and became the first artists,
then created their own warlike civilizations. Sodom and Gomorrah were
destroyed by an atomic bomb! The Ark of the Covenant was an electrified
transmitter that allowed Moses to communicate with the astronauts! Von
Daniken even claims that ancient astronauts - complete with space helmets
- were carved on stelae at the Mayan city of Copan!

ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS: A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Posted by: canttakemyrest
Group: alienoverlords@yahoogroups.com
Source: The Truth Campaign
http://www.truthcampaign.ukf.net/
ETs and Ancient Astronauts are Illuminati Propaganda
Foreword
Over the last 30 years or so there has been increasing interest in the
'ancient astronaut' thesis. Although this fascination with 'real' alien
visitors essentially hit mainstream consciousness with the works of
Erik Von Daniken and Zechariah Sitchin, the population has been mentally
prepared for the aliens since the beginning of the 20th century by
science-fiction in books, comics, movies and tv shows. It is so innate to
our collective psyche today that there are very few who do not relate the
idea of UFOs to extra-terrestrial beings, and have an immediate mental
image of the 'greys' and the similar spindly beings of Spielberg's
Close Encounters, or Whitley Streiber's Communion, as their archetypal
representation of these same off-world entities.
Today there are numerous TV documentaries asking the questions about
whether or not we are being visited by extra-terrestrial beings, and
countless books and websites promoting 'the truth' about our alien
co-inhabitees of the universe. Furthermore, any amount of New Age psychics and
channellers are also preaching 'the word' as 'given to them' by ET
cousins.
There is currently in production a movie called '1 Anunnaki', which
looks like it will be another popular sci-fi alien movie. It appears to be
based entirely on the work of Sitchin, and is already gathering
interest from those people who are keen to see 'the truth about the history of
our planet' finally revealed to the masses.
www.1anunnaki.com/1-anunnaki-main.html
Given that the universe is such a massive place, and given that there
is so much material and evidence for ETs and their activities, isn't it
verging on insanity to suggest that there may actually be another
reason entirely for such things? How can all of these experiences, books,
scholars, and even currently a growing number of scientists and
government 'insiders' be mistaken?
Well, one could summarize that briefly, and one would make no impact on
a mind that has already taken the view expressed above. But I would
sincerely hope that as it takes an open mind to accept such conventionally
outlandish ideas as alien visitation, the reader would try and remain
equally open-minded, in assessing the contents of what follows.
'But we've read a thousand books on the subject. There is no doubt.
Even if they aren't all entirely accurate, one thing's for sure - the
common element - and that is ETs exist and they are visiting this planet,
have been for centuries, and probably have an agenda for our future.'
To suggest otherwise is heresy right?
At least it is increasingly so these days. Ever wondered about that;
how something so suppressed and 'true' should be so increasingly accepted
by the mainstream, when all along we have been told that 'they' don't
want us to know this?
What if such a mindset has been engineered? What if it is being
designed in such a way that the entire alien visitor scenario is what the
powers-that-be WANT us to replace our religions and belief systems with?
But why? Surely there's a history of government and Intel suppression
of this information? They wouldn't hide and suppress what they want us
to believe would they?
Well, yes. Firstly, they aren't hiding it! They are steadily creating
an air of mystery and allowing us to come to the very conclusions that
we are. It's reverse psychology really. And the Illuminati know all
about how to control mass mentality.

POSSIBLE POLE-SHIFT PRECURSOR FOUND!
Submitted by: whisper
Source: The Hutton Commentaries
Two Scientists Have Detected A Large-Scale Redistribution Of Mass
Within The Earth System, Beginning in 1998!
The Hutton Commentaries (THC) has been saying from the beginning that a
shift in the poles of Earth’s rotational axis can only be caused by a
significant shift of mass somewhere within our planet. Now, two
scientists studying data on Earth’s gravity field have found evidence of just
such a mass shift that began in 1998. This is the year in which Cayce
readings 3976-15 and 378-16 said that a forty-year-long period, from
1958-1998, marking the beginning of predicted Earth changes would come to
an end.
Then, in 1998 and beyond there would be “the changes wrought in the
upheavals and the shifting of the poles.”
We present evidence here that the “upheavals” may have begun in the
inner Earth between 1998 and 2002, where the liquid outer core meets the
overlying plastic mantle. This is the core-mantle boundary, or CMB.
Upheavals along the CMB may have been detected by means of precision
satellite-ranging measurements conducted since 1979. Interpretations of the
voluminous measurements between 1979 and 2002 have been published by two
scientists, Christopher Cox and Benjamin Chao, in the August 2 issue of
Science magazine (p. 832). Here follows their reasoning and their
conclusions.

Vril, The Power of the Coming Race
by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Legendary for his turgid prose ("it was a dark and stormy night...")
Bulwer-Lytton's pioneering science fiction novel "Vril" was taken very
seriously by 19th Century Atlantis fans (for instance, Scott-Elliot).
Vril is a mysterious energy which is used by Lytton's subterranean race
(refugees from the Deluge) to power their advanced civilization; it was
later treated as a reality by occultists. The plot of this book was
recycled for numerous 'B' pulp scifi movies and assorted crank theories.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT IN SOUTHERN CHILE

UFODIMENSION ARTICLE :.
EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT IN SOUTHERN CHILE
Posted Mar 07.05
Farshores translation based upon Babel Fish
The phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (Ufos) always surprises
with the variety and spectacular cases it provides. This time, several
people maintain they have been in contact with apparently
extraterrestrial beings who inhabit an island off the southern tip of
Chile. On more than 25 audio tapes they guarantee their testimonies.
This mysterious story begins one night in June of 1984, in the Tenth
Region of Chile, specifically at the Mitagues lighthouse, located in
the
Moraleda Channel.
In that place a group of seven people, apparently of the National Navy,
observed an immense ball of colored red light settle on the water only
some meters away. Fearful of it they called for aid via a
communications radio to Iquique.
In Santiago, the call was heard by the Ortiz family, composed of
Octavio, Cristina and her daughters Claudia, Andrea and Paula. They
have
a 27 Mh (CB) transmitter/receiver.
After about 15 minutes, and as they did not receive an answer, Octavio
offered to serve as bridge between the group and points. Héctor, who
was in charge of the group, responded. He said they did not know what
the light was but that it appeared opposite them. "This thing has
caused
malfunctions in the electrical equipment" he added.
During this radio conversation a third person also participated; the
captain of the nearby oil ship "Misteryes", requested Héctor to warn
the authorities because the anomaly had also affected his ship
instruments.
Suddenly Héctor indicated to Octavio that, "the thing is getting
bigger, and beginning to move. It's rising. It coming towards us".
After
that noises and shouts were listened to, that took the needle of the
radio to maximum power before the trasmission ended suddenly.
In spite of insistent calls from the Lucero station, the men at the
lighthouse facility did not answer. …

PARK PLACE
The Research of T. Peter Park
The "Lincoln Legend"
(2005) by T. Peter Park
Many curious stories, often with Fortean, paranormal or supernatural
aspects, circulate in contemporary society. I myself have spent much time
and effort trying to trace one such story to its original source,
whether factual or fictional. In the process, I think I may have learned
something about the processes of legend and rumor creation--especially as
they apply to the creation of fictitious tales purporting to be "fact."
Some such stories are "urban legends" or “FOAF” (“friend of a friend”)
tales--supposedly true fictional stories that allegedly happened to a
friend of a friend, describing such bizarre incidents as the vanishing
hitchhiker, the micro waved pet, the stolen kidney, the egg hatching
into a snake, and alligators in city sewers. Others are alleged "true
weird mysteries" based on fictional stories passed off as "fact" and
frequently repeated in popular books and articles. These include, for
instance, the “David Lang” and “Oliver Lerch” weird disappearance myths!
, still making the rounds on the Internet as “true” stories, derived
from fictional horror stories by Ambrose Bierce. (See my article on
"Vanishing Vanishings" in _The Anomalist_, No. 7, Winter 1998/1999, pp.
158-178).
Another example is the notorious 1897 abduction of a Kansas rancher's
cow by an airship piloted by six strange-looking aliens, now known to be
based on a tongue-in-cheek newspaper reprint of a prize-winning tall
tale at a small-town Kansas "Liars' Club." There is also the curious saga
of alleged real-life time traveler “Rudolph Fentz,” supposedly zapped
through a time-slip from 1876 New York to 1950 (or 1980) Times Square,
instantly killed by 20th century traffic, and laboriously traced by New
York police to a mysteriously vanished 19th century New Yorker—a story
widely publicized as “true” in European Fortean and occult magazines
and websites. This story was eventually traced by skeptical Fortean
investigator Chris Aubeck to a 1951 Collier’s magazine science-fiction
story, "I'm scared!," by Jack Finney!
Still others are bizarre rumors of limited circulation that never
achieve the ubiquitous popularity of urban legends or the frequent
rehashing of stories like the Kansas cownapping tale, the Lang and Lerch
disappearances, and Rudolph Fentz’s fatal time-trip. These stories cannot
be traced to a newspaper reprint of a tall tale a definite literary
source like Bierce's or Finney’s stories.
One such curious rumor that I have spent considerable time and energy
over the years trying to track down to its original source is the
"Lincoln Legend." It's a story with some supernatural touches about a weird
family of eccentric, peculiar-looking people named Lincoln (no relation,
apparently, of President Lincoln) who allegedly terrorized an unnamed
small Midwestern town in the 1890's or early 1900's. I first heard the
story in 1966 from a friend who said he had heard it from a family
friend who had in turn heard it from one of the original witnesses. I have
tried to track down the story either to an actual original incident or
to a definite literary source, but with no success in either direction.
I did a little research from time to time from 1966 to 1997, and quite
intensively researched the case from late 1997 to early 1999. Before I
describe what I found, first let me explain just what the “Lincoln
Legend” was.
The Lincolns supposedly were standoffish, odd-looking people who moved
in the 1890's from somewhere in the East (perhaps from Massachusetts)
to a small town in the Midwest. The father, mother, daughter and two
sons were squat and "froggish"-looking with "ugly" faces, pallid whitish
skin, bulging "hyper-thyroid" eyes, and high broad foreheads. They were
soon disliked for their aloof, unfriendly personalities, and even more
for their habit of prowling around the town at night and scaring
townsfolk who met them.
In 1896 or 1900, one of the Lincoln sons, a young man in his late
teens, was lynched for raping and murdering the daughter of a prominent
local family. At the Lincoln youth's funeral, his father declared that the
town would regret the deed, and threw a worm or slug at the girl's
father, crying "Here is your doom!" Shortly afterwards, the dead girl's
father and brother died under mysterious circumstances, their bodies
crushed to a pulp and covered with slime. Townsfolk also started having
nighttime sightings of the dead Lincoln boy, prowling the town’s streets
and peering into bedroom windows. Some townsfolk who had seen the Lincoln
boy's apparition later went insane. The Lincoln family moved out of
town soon after the funeral, perhaps going back East.
In addition, over the next few years the area suffered a succession of
severe droughts, floods and tornadoes, almost as if the town had been
cursed by the Lincolns. A posse sent after a few years to open the
Lincoln boy's grave to see if his body was still there found a single set of
footprints leaving the grave!
Upon opening his coffin, they found that the corpse was gone. However,
after the grave opening, both the Lincoln youth apparitions and the
natural disasters stopped.
I first heard of the "Lincoln Legend" as a graduate student at the
University of Virginia in the Summer of 1966, from a U.Va. friend of mine,
Raymond G. Frey (now a Philosophy professor at Bowling Green State
University in Ohio). Frey had just heard about it at a family gathering in
Kermit, West Virginia from an elderly physician who had once met one of
the witnesses of the original events. The elderly MD had been a dinner
guest at Frey's relatives' house one evening. He had reminisced about
memorable highlights of his years in medicine. Many years earlier, the
old doctor had attended a dying and delirious patient. In his delirium,
the patient had screamed "LINCOLN! LINCOLN!" The next day, the patient
was more lucid, and the doctor asked him about the significance of the
name "LINCOLN!" he had been crying out the night before. The patient
then told him the Lincoln Legend as I've just summarized it above,
claiming himself to have been one of the townspeople who had known the !
Lincolns. The patient died soon afterward, but the doctor said that the
patient's story was confirmed by a relative. Unfortunately, however,
Frey does not remember the name of the doctor, though I have asked him a
few times over the years.
I don't recall whether Frey specified the state where the Lincoln
Legend had taken place, or whether he mentioned the old doctor as naming a
state. A few years ago, I called up his surviving West Virginia
relatives, but none of them remembered the story nor the old doctor.
The story intrigued me, and ever since 1966 I've searched either for
confirmations or for evidence of a traceable definite fictional origin.
For years, I have fruitlessly combed historical, "true weird mysteries,"
and "true crime" literature, as well as possible science-fictional and
fantasy sources of the story, but I never discovered any printed
fictional story exactly like the "Lincoln Legend." However, many people over
the years have agreed with my hunch that the sinister, "ugly,"
"froggish"-looking Lincolns with their bulging eyes resembled the amphibious
"batrachian" aliens described by macabre fantasy writer H.P. Lovecraft
(1890-1937) in stories like "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" (1931), depicting
an imaginary New England seaport town taken over by human-alien
hybrids.
In late 1980, I sent a letter to FATE magazine outlining the Lincoln
Legend as my U. Va. friend had described it in 1966, asking any FATE
readers who had ever read or heard of the story to contact me. My letter
was printed in the March 1981 issue of FATE, which hit the newsstands in
early February 1981. A couple of weeks later, I got a brief typewritten
note in the mail from somebody calling herself Greta Gilmore of South
Bend, Indiana, enclosed with a photostat of a two-page unfinished
handwritten letter to me supposedly written by her brother Carl who had just
mysteriously disappeared. She expressed alarm over her brother’s fate,
and wondered why he had been writing to me at the time of his
disappearance—she herself knew of no “Lincoln Legend” and no Lincolns in her
family tree.
Carl Gilmore claimed in his letter to be descended from the original
Lincolns, who had lived in South Bend in the 1890's. He summarized
accounts of the Lincoln Legend, basically similar to my version and to each
other though with a few differences of detail (including different first
names for the Lincolns, different names for the girl the teen-aged
Lincoln son supposedly molested, and different deaths of the girl’s father
and brother). He alleged the story was printed in a couple of popular
paperback books on weird phenomena published in the 1960's that he had
picked up a few years earlier in a local used bookstore: Margaret
Ronan's Evil This Way Comes and John Macklin's Ultimate Dimension.
The discrepancies he described in the Ronan and Macklin versions were
of a type I’ve frequently noted in accounts of allegedly true weird
stories by gee-whiz pop-Fortean writers like Ronan, Macklin, Frank
Edwards, Brad Steiger, and Hans Holzer, whom a friend of mine once lumped
together under the collective name "Edwardsteigeronan"! :-)
Both books set the Lincoln Legend in South Bend in the 1890's,
describing the Lincolns as squat, pallid, "froggish" folk with bulging eyes who
had moved to South Bend from western Massachusetts, whose son molested
the daughter of a prominent South Bend family. Intrigued because he was
a South Bender and a Lincoln on his mother's side, Carl Gilmore did
some local historical and genealogical research, but found no record of
the people or incidents mentioned in the Ronan and Macklin books. A few
years later, however, he inherited his grandmother's house in a
"decaying neighborhood" of South Bend-- and discovered the Lincolns' records,
scrap-books, and diaries in the attic.
His letter, hinting at the "fantastic, horrible, unspeakable" doings
of his "eldritch progenitors" Theo and Oliver Lincoln, "diseased
maniacs" living in a "hellish dream world," … then broke off just as it was
getting really interesting!
At the same time, I thought his letter read suspiciously like a story
by H.P. Lovecraft, especially with his lurid purple prose of "decaying
neighborhood," "eldritch progenitors," "diseased maniacs," and "hellish
dream world"! Carl Gilmore's discovery of his own descent from the
evil, froggish Lincolns reminded me of Lovecraft's "Shadow Over Innsmouth,"
whose narrator discovered his own descent from the sinister half-alien
Innsmouth fish-men, descended from 19th century New England sailors who
had made a Faustian devil's bargain with demonic fish-like
ocean-dwelling "Deep Ones" and interbred with the Deep Ones. Carl's disappearance,
likewise, recalled the disappearances, suicides, or gruesome deaths of
many Lovecraft protagonists who discover a deep dark secret about
themselves or the Cosmos.
In many of Lovecraft's tales, the hero goes mad, commits suicide,
mysteriously disappears, or dies under peculiar circumstances after
discovering the horrible truth about his own origins and/or about an alien or
demonic menace threatening Humanity. In “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,”
Lovecraft’s narrator at first contemplates suicide upon learning of his
own descent from the hybrid Innsmouth fish-men and noticing the first
tell-tale physical signs of the “Innsmouth look” in himself—but then
decides to obey his ancestral call, return to Innsmouth, and join his fishy
ancestors in their underwater gambols!
In another Lovecraft story, "Arthur Jermyn," the scion of an English
aristocratic family notorious for their many unpleasantly bizarre
eccentrics commits suicide on learning he's descended from an 18th century
African explorer who had married and brought home the discreetly veiled
queen of a tribe of "white apes" from the Congo! Likewise, the alleged
western Massachusetts origin of the Lincolns recalls Lovecraft’s tale of
black magic and human/alien crossbreeding in a squalid western
Massachusetts rural community in “The Dunwich Horror,” where old Wizard Whately
creates hellish half-human monstrosities by getting a mentally retarded
local farm girl impregnated by the other-dimensional entity Yog-Sothoth
in a ceremony from the Necronomicon.
The Lincolns almost sounded like transplanted Dunwichers trekking
westward, perhaps cousins of Wizard Whately, as well as like the
"batrachian" and "icthyoid" Innsmouth half-breeds! :-)
I wrote a few replies to Greta and Carl Gilmore, but never got an
answer. I tried to obtain the books mentioned by Carl Gilmore as describing
the Lincoln Legend, Margaret Ronan's Evil This Way Comes and John
Macklin's _Ultimate Dimension, but without success. I dropped the matter for
many years, then resumed my investigations in the Fall of 1997.
Again I wrote Carl and Greta Gilmore, but again got no reply. I again
tried to locate the Ronan and Macklin books, but found that while both
authors were real enough authors of popular compendiums of strange
happenings, the titles cited by "Carl Gilmore" never existed. The Margaret
Ronan and John Macklin books I did obtain contained nothing like the
Lincoln story. I even wrote to Margaret Ronan, and she wrote me back that
she had never written, read, nor heard of any such book as Evil This
Way Comes, and had also never heard of the Lincoln story nor any story
quite like it. A supposed history of South Bend mentioned by "Carl
Gilmore" (A History of St. Joseph County by "Morton Shianerkof") also turned
out to be non-existent--no such author or title!
I wrote John F. Palmer, the Local History Librarian at the South Bend
and St. Joseph's County Public Library. Palmer wrote me back in
February, 1998 that he had never heard of such a case and could find nothing
like it in local newspapers or records. Palmer did send me, however,
photostats of vast amounts of information on local Gilmores and
Lincolns--both of whom were quite plentiful in South Bend. Greta Gilmore was a
real person, and her address was real, also.
One night in January 1998, I called Greta Gilmore's phone number in
South Bend. Her mother answered, saying that they had gotten and read the
letters I'd written but were puzzled. Greta had no brother named Carl,
and her brother had never disappeared. They definitely had NO Lincolns
in their family tree. The whole thing had been just a hoax at me at the
Gilmores' expense by some unknown practical joker! Whoever my unknown
hoaxer had been, he (or she) was obviously someone who knew Greta
Gilmore (and maybe wanted to play a practical joke on her as well as on me),
who read FATE magazine at least occasionally, and who was pretty
familiar with "Edwardsteigeronan" type pop-Fortean compendiums like those of
John Macklin and Margaret Ronan, and the way they usually presented
basically the same stories with numerous differences and discrepancies.
Maybe, I’ve sometimes thought, the culprit was a spurned ex-boyfriend or
resentful co-worker of Greta’s, having his revenge on her while a!
t the same time having a little fun with a Fortean researcher! :-)
A little while later, by the way, the South Bend library's Local
History Librarian John F. Palmer (maybe a distant relative of Amazing Stories
editor and "Shaver Mystery" advocate Ray Palmer, I wonder? :-) ) was
very helpful with my researches into the alleged Oliver Lerch/Larch
abduction legend, the story of the Indiana farm boy supposedly carried away
by an unknown flying “something” while fetching a pail of water from
the well outside his family's South Bend farmhouse on Christmas Eve, 1889
or 1890. The South Bend library had quite a file of articles, stories,
letters to the editor, etc., concerning this supposed local South Bend
mystery, and Palmer shared much of it with me. Palmer’s assistance was
quite invaluable in writing my “Vanishing Vanishings” Anomalist article
debunking the Lang and Lerch disappearance legends as Ambrose Bierce
rip-offs.
In the Spring of 1999, I again resumed intensive researches into the
Lincoln Legend. I wrote and/or e-mailed State and big-city libraries,
archives, and historical societies in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South
Dakota, Oklahoma, and Colorado. I consulted Internet websites devoted
to urban legends. I shared my Lincoln researches with many friends and
e-mail correspondents, who gave numerous quite helpful suggestions. I
checked out numerous books on Midwestern and rural American local and
regional folklore and murders. I contacted authorities (like S.T. Joshi,
L. Sprague DeCamp, and others) on the life and writings of H.P.
Lovecraft, whose stories like "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" I suspected might
have inspired the Lincoln Legend, asking them if they knew of any
Lovecraft pastiche by one of his admirers and imitators (like August Derleth,
Robert Bloch, and Frank Belknap Long) with a plot resembling the Li!
ncoln Legend. I also re-read all the possibly relevant Lovecraft
stories. My query, "Lincoln Legend': An Urban Legend or a Real Weird
Mystery?" was posted on the Anomalist eb site with a request for anyone with
information about it to contact me. I likewise posted copies of my
"Lincoln Legend" query on a couple of non-Fortean e-mail lists that I belong
to.
I received many replies--almost all negative. Nobody had heard of the
Lincoln Legend, either as (supposed) fact or as definitely identifiable
fiction, though a couple of people wrote me that the story sounded
vaguely familiar. Several respondents thought it sounded like a story by
Stephen King. The libraries, archives, and historical societies informed
me that they could not find anything in their holdings or records about
the Lincoln Legend or any people or incidents closely resembling those
of the Legend. A few referred me to various books on Midwestern
regional folklore or ghost stories--which I checked out, but found did not
really contain anything too closely corresponding to the Lincoln Legend.
The urban legend specialists had never heard of the Lincoln Legend. The
Lovecraft scholars (including biographer L. Sprague DeCamp, critic and
editor S.T. Joshi, and editors at Arkham House) informed me that
thousands of Lovecraft pastiches have been published in the last
half-century, more than anyone could ever read or keep track of, but that none of
them recalled a story quite like the Lincoln Legend. August Derleth's
Wisconsin Murders (1968) and Stewart Holbrook's Murder Out Yonder (1941,
1989), recommended by a friend because of their focus on Midwestern and
small-town murders and because of Derleth's position as a leading
Lovecraft admirer, editor, and imitator, had nothing on the Lincoln Legend
or any case quite similar.
One respondent to my Anomalist query wondered if I was trying to create
an urban legend, knowingly posting a fictitious story "intentionally
vague as to time and space" and seeing how many people would "respond
affirming some degree of its truth," like the increasing number of people
claiming alien abductions. He felt that my story had an "artistic
narrative flow," building up to a "horrific climax," found in fictional
horror stories but lacking in "'true' anomalous incidents" as described by
Charles Fort "or, indeed, in The Anomalist." In a later post, he added
that any real-life incident like the Lincoln Legend "would have
reverberated through local folklore for decades." In our "age so starved for
marvels," it would have been "picked up and reported dozens of times,"
and my failure to find any references to it despite my "diligent inquiry
to various folklore societies" was "conclusive proof that we are not
dealing with a legend as such."
Daily Oklahoman columnist Robert E. Lee (curious coincidence of names
for a "Lincoln" inquiry!) at first offered (e-mail, June 1, 1999) to
print a column describing the Lincoln Legend and asking readers for
additional information. However, Lee later (e-mail, June 9, 1999) was
"convinced" that we "have an urban legend," and decided not to discuss it in
his column, "because that would simply lend authenticity to an obvious
hoax."
A few respondents claimed possible vague recollections of the Lincoln
Legend. One member of a non-anomalist list thought the Lincoln family
resembled his maternal grandfather's relatives, "short, squat, pallid
folks one and all" (e-mail, March 16), adding that "there has been talk of
child molestation and incest to the present generations." His
grandfather's name was Lincoln, and his family had come to Toledo, Ohio from
Germany in the 1880's, though he had "never...gotten around to a genealogy
search." However, "Thanks be to G--D, my mother takes after her
mother."
Oklahoma meteorologist Mike Branick, responding to my Anomalist query
(e-mail, March 25 and March 25), found "something...that sounds
familiar" in the story "though I can't put my finger on it." He might have
"once read some fictional short story with a similar plot," or else perhaps
in one of the popular books of Frank Edwards or Brad Steiger on strange
phenomena--though he could not find it in any of his old Edwards and
Steiger books.
One-time FATE staffer Henry Cole, also answering my Anomalist query,
recalled (e-mail, May 3) that in the mid-1960's, going through back
issues of FATE at then editor Curtis Fuller's request to select articles for
reprinting, he'd found one on the Lincolns. I contacted FATE and asked
them to look through their indexes for anything on the Lincoln Legend,
and they replied that the only "Lincoln" items they could find dealt
with President Lincoln and with Lincoln/Kennedy assassination parallels.
However, Cole reiterated (e-mail, May 9) that while he recalled those
Lincoln items, he also still recalled having once seen something on the
Lincoln Legend, either in FATE or somewhere else.
A few respondents offered other interesting but inconclusive leads.
Jerry Clark at the National Archives and Bruce Monblatt of the U.S. Office
of Education suggested (e- mails, March 25) similarities of the Lincoln
family to dysfunctional clans like the Jukeses and Kallikaks discussed
in early 20th century psychology and sociology texts--families trotted
out by old-time eugenicists to illustrate the dangers of letting the
"unfit" and “feeble-minded” breed, though now generally dismissed as
ignoring the effects of poverty and lack of education. Eric Mundell at the
Indiana State Library, while unable to find anything specific on the
Lincoln Legend, suggested (e-mail, March 25) that "if the account is
really based on truth, then it was likely more a matter of the local people
being scared of others who just looked and acted differently." There
"could have been some medical explanation for their behavior and their
inability to fit in with society as a whole," he felt. He added t!
hat Sally Childs- Helton, a folklorist and ethnomusicologist colleague
whom he'd consulted about the Lincoln Legend thought it was probably a
"goblin tale," which "usually features one or more ugly, ferocious
creatures which scare people and create havoc."
Later (e-mail, March 31), Mundell added that a colleague of Sally
Childs-Helton had suggested a possible connection with the "Jackson Whites"
of the Ramapo Mountains at the northern New Jersey/New York border, who
"may bear some similarities with the Lincolns." An inbred mixture of
Whites, escaped slaves, and Native Americans, the Jackson Whites
displayed "a good deal of albinism, squatty physical builds, etc., that would
be perceived as odd or scary to some people." This reference to the
Jackson Whites led me to reading up on these and numerous similar small
multi-racial mixed-blood groups in rural areas of the southern and eastern
United States: the "Melungeons" of eastern Tennessee and western
Virginia, the "Wesorts" of Maryland, the "Croatans" or "Lumbees" of North
Carolina, the "Turks," “Portugee,” and "Brass Ankles" of South Carolina,
the “Yellowhammers” of elsewhere in the Deep South, etc. It was a
fascinating, little-known by-way of American social and ethnic history!
, but in the end shed no real light on the Lincoln Legend.
In the end, I felt forced to regard the Lincoln Legend as a “forme
fruste” of an urban legend or of a pseudo- historicized fictional story. In
medicine, a “forme fruste,” literally "worn-down form," is an atypical
and usually abortive manifestation of a disease, with one or a few but
not all the typical symptoms of that disease or syndrome. In
psychiatry, forme fruste designates what Freud called a "rudimentary" or "larval"
form of a neurosis or psychosis, with just one or two of the symptoms
of a full-blown case. The Lincoln Legend does resemble an urban legend,
in its seeming surface vividness and specificity combined with an
elusive tendency to evaporate and recede when one gets close to a possible
original source. With its description of the Lincoln family seemingly
inspired by the "batrachian" human/alien hybrid Innsmouth fish-men in
H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," the Lincoln Legend also
resembles the David Lang and Oliver Lerch disappearance legends base!
d on Ambrose Bierce's 1893 stories "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field"
and "Charles Ashmore's Trail."
However, the Lincoln Legend never achieved the ubiquity of typical
urban legends like the phantom hitchhiker, microwaved dog, stolen kidney,
or alligators in New York sewers, nor has it been rehashed countless
times in popular Fortean literature like the Lang and Lerch mysterious
disappearance and 1897 Kansas alien airship cownapping stories, for
example. Rather, the Lincoln Legend is an embryonic or larval urban legend
that somehow never quite managed to get off the ground, so to speak.
Raymond Frey's elderly West Virginia doctor, I suspect, must have once
encountered either an oral tall tale partly inspired by Lovecraft's "Shadow
Over Innsmouth" or an obscure, now-forgotten Lovecraft imitation in
some magazine, and over the years confused it with some weird tale told by
one of his patients—he might well have had a patient who did like
spinning weird stories. The old doctor's delirious patient, too, might
himself have been the culprit, inadvertently or intentionally confusi!
ng a Lovecraft-inspired tall tale or a printed Lovecraft pastiche with
an actual incident he’d once witnessed or heard about. Either way, we
have a rumor, probably inspired directly or indirectly by the stories of
one of America's masters of macabre fiction, that achieved a limited
circulation, but failed to win the ubiquity of the typical urban legend.

WHY THE NORTH POLE FROZE

UAB researchers have discovered the mechanism behind the ice sheets in
the Northern Hemisphere 
24.02.2005 Research - Ice has been building up in the Arctic for 2.7
million years. Until now, no-one has been able to prove what mechanism
brought about this accumulation of ice. However, a team of
international scientists led by Antoni Rosell, a researcher for the Institute of
Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de
Barcelona,and Gerald H. Haug of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact
Research (Germany) has discovered the mechanism that set off the
accumulation of ice.
A sudden fall in average world temperatures 2.7 million years ago
caused the Arctic Ocean to freeze and Europe and North America to become
covered in ice. The reason seems obvious: the cold temperatures caused ice
to build up. But the drop in average temperatures is not enough to
explain why so much ice built up and has remained to this day. For many
years, scientists have been speculating on what caused this accumulation
of ice and have proposed many theories.
A team of international scientists led by Antoni Rosell, a researcher
for the Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies and the
Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat
Autònoma de Barcelona, and Gerald H. Haug of the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research (Germany) has discovered the mechanism that set off
the accumulation of ice. The researchers have worked mainly with
existing data from the remains of marine organisms that have built up over the
years, as well as with climate models.
According to the research, the most important change during the period
was a 7ºC (13ºF) increase in the difference between summer and winter
temperatures within just a few centuries. The summers became warmer and
the winters cooler, causing more water to evaporate from the sea into
the atmosphere during the summer. The air became more humid and snowfall
increased. When Winter set in, the sharp decrease in temperatures
enabled ice to build up.
But what brought about this difference in temperatures? The researchers
are the first to find evidence showing that this was caused by the
stratification of ocean water, due to an increase in freshwater. This means
that water mixed less than previously, forming layers of different
densities in different strata and at different depths. When spring came,
the layers closest to the surface began to heat up. Since the water did
not mix, the temperature of those layers continued to rise, and
increasing amounts of water evaporated. During the summer months, this effect
intensified, as higher temperatures increase stratification; in winter,
however, the water began mixing again, and temperatures dropped more
than in previous years.
The authors of the research have reconstructed the seasonal changes in
temperature in the North Pacific by reinterpreting the data obtained
from analysing the remains of marine organisms and by checking these
temperatures using a climate model. This reconstruction shows how the
ocean, in terms of its surface temperature and its size during different
seasons, and water evaporation from the sea can generate significant
general changes to the climate, as well as more intense glacial cycles and a
general cooling of the planet's temperatures.
According to Antoni Rosell, "through this research we can understand in
greater detail why climate change occurs, and more specifically, the
role of the ocean in producing climate change. This information will
improve climate models used to predict how today's climate will change in
the future".

Hi Dennis,
Re the following quote from Unraveling The Secrets: in February 25,
2005
Volume II Number 8:
[From the Art Greenwood article]
"...the famous photo of General Ramey at a press conference
bending over some debris from a weather balloon and
saying that is what really crashed. The 1947 photo was
taken with an old Graflex press camera that had a huge
photographic plate inside that the photo image was
exposed on. Two teams of professional researchers 3
years ago got the original photo and negative from the
Ft. Worth, Texas newspaper's archives. The researchers
used computer enhancement to zoom in on a telegram that
Gen. Ramey was holding in his hand. I have those photos
in my book including the text of the telegram. The
telegram was from the Pentagon and it was orders telling
what was to be done with the saucer debris and the alien
bodies they had recovered."
End quote.
Although I don't recall that particular photograph one can't help
wondering
if, even during the 1940's, the military would be stupid enough to send
such
sensitive material via a telegram!!(or was it a radiogram
[radio-telegram]?)
Another thing, I do a little photography myself and I wonder, what are
the lucky odds that the telegram:
1. Was facing not at an angle but directly towards the camera?
2. Had the correct (written) side towards the camera?
3. Was not partially folded, obscured by a hand, fingers,
or anything else?
4. Was at such a distance to be able to be enhanced enough
to read, even with today's technology?
5. And finally, held in such a manner (by, of all people, a
general) for all the world to see?

THE FINAL THEORY
What is The Final Theory? Simply put, it is the famous Theory Of
Everything finally made manifest in a book! The diagram below shows today's
patchwork of unexplainable theories (Standard Theory), alongside the
abstract concept of a final Theory Of Everything that rids us of all our
mysterious beliefs by revealing the true nature of our universe -- a
single, simple unifying principle that explains everything. This is the
ultimate goal of science and one of humanity's greatest quests to
understand our world. It has finally arrived .. The Final Theory is here!

EYEBALLIN’ THE NEW WORLD ORDER:
Freedom of the Internet “Press”
Posted by: cheesemind
Group: openmindandcodenews@yahoogroups.com
Bloggers Beware
Threats to the status quo are always ripe for "reform"
John Samples
Bloggers were one of the big political successes of the 2004 election.
This motley group of opinionated writers used their cyber soapboxes to
attack and defend the presidential campaigns and the two major parties.
Their websites offered a fresh look at politics and implicitly
undermined the Establishment media that so many Americans have come to
distrust. In other words, bloggers used freedom of speech to improve American
democracy.
Naturally the federal government is about to come down hard on
bloggers.
Here's why. In 2002, Congress passed the McCain-Feingold campaign
finance law which restricted political advertising by corporations and labor
unions on television and radio. The Federal Election Commission—the
agency charged with implementing McCain-Feingold—initially decided
that Congress had not intended to restrict political speech on the
Internet.
Last fall, a federal judge said exempting the Internet from the law's
restrictions on political speech would undermine McCain-Feingold. Now
the FEC is back at it trying to figure out how to restrict political
speech on the Internet.
If you care about freedom of speech, there are good reasons for
concern. The FEC may conclude that allowing political advertising by campaigns
and parties on websites will undermine the restrictions on ads in
McCain-Feingold. Ads on the Internet would be a loophole to McCain-Feingold
that the FEC should close.
But bloggers don't necessarily work for a campaign or a political party
and thus should not fall under McCain-Feingold, right?
Don't be too sure. Bloggers often endorse candidates or parties in an
election. Those endorsements are of value to the candidates and may end
up being treated as a campaign contribution, subject to limits and
disclosure. Bloggers may also contribute to a campaign by linking to a
candidate's website or republishing a candidate's press release.
Of course, The New York Times can endorse candidates for office and
promote their causes, and you might think that bloggers would enjoy the
same First Amendment protections. But you would be wrong. The FEC has not
given news sites or bloggers what is tellingly called "the press
exemption" from campaign finance laws. What bloggers say and do may well fall
under federal campaign finance restrictions.
History should give pause to those concerned about liberty on the
Internet. New technology that threatens the political status quo quickly
attracts Congressional regulation and restrictions.
Take the history of television in American politics. In 1968, three
candidates—Eugene McCarthy, George Wallace, and Richard
Nixon—challenged the entrenched status quo by spending large sums of money on
television advertising. McCarthy's spending drove the incumbent president
Lyndon Johnson out of office. Wallace's TV strategy brought him 14 percent
of the vote and may have denied Democrats the presidency. Richard
Nixon's lavish spending on television helped him narrowly take the
presidency from Hubert Humphrey.
In 1968, uncontrolled political spending on a new technology threatened
the political status quo.
Congress acted swiftly to meet the threat. In the spring of 1969,
members introduced a bill to limit campaign spending on television
advertising. The bill became law in 1971 and went into effect the following
year. Congress had, in the words of one member, "tamed the television
monster." Yet the "monster" in question was a threat only to those who held
power.
Last year a relatively new technology shook up the political world. The
upstart presidential candidate Howard Dean used the Internet to raise
unprecedented sums that fueled his outsider campaign for the Democratic
nomination. Bloggers brought down Dan Rather of CBS News, a titan of
the old media, and offered uncontrolled sources of information and
insight to voters.
In 2005, as in 1969, those who use this technology have to expect the
status quo they are upending will fight back.
The upcoming effort to regulate and restrict the Internet thus seems as
inevitable as it is unfortunate. Indeed, the effort to clamp down on
the Internet will succeed absent resistance.
Someone said that a man with a hammer sees nails everywhere. Congress
holds
the hammer of McCain-Feingold, and its members see the Internet as a
nail.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
HOW HOT IS HELL: A SCIENTIFIC ANSWER
Submitted by Marty H.
The following is supposedly an actual question given in a University of
Washington chemistry mid-term exam. The answer by one student was so
profound that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet,
which is of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as
well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once
a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different
religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state
that if you are not a member of their faith, you will go to Hell. Since
there is more than one religion, we can reliably project that all souls
go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of
souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of
change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for
the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the Volume of
Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
(1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate at which souls enter Hell,
then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.
(2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will drop until Hell
freezes over.
So, which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me during my Freshman year the, “it
will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you,” and taking into
account the fact that I slept with her last night then number 2 must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has froven over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore extinct …
leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being,
which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh, my God!”.
Allegedly, this student received the only A.
