About This Book In 1972 I went, quite by chance, to live at a very strange place where very strange things happened. They were so strange and so fascinating that I soon found myself recording everything that went on. The UFOs I observed were operated by men who differed from those described by others. They were not green, grey or bug-eyed, nor did they try to abduct me or force me to undergo an operation. That is not to say that there are not other UFOs such as those experienced by numerous observers from 1947 to the present day. I still endeavour to approach the entire subject with an open mind. J.

Background Ley Lines, Hilltops and Energy Places It was an amateur archaeologist, Alfred Watkins, who first noticed and drew attention to what he called ley lines, a network of former grassy tracks that appeared to cover the entire British Isles. He noticed that they tended to run from hilltop to hilltop and were often associated with castle sites, churches, "holy" or other ancient wells, lake islands, ancient crosses and standing stones and places with "Cross" in their names, and that traces of the ancient tracks remained. Some of the hilltops had once been occupied by villages, forts, graves or stone circles, traces of which remained, while others still had buildings or standing stones in place when he carried out his investigations in the 1920s. He ended up doing a detailed survey but never actually discovered what their significance was to the men of the prehistoric world who had inhabited them or worshipped there. Professional archaeologists dismissed his theories and he died unrecognised in 1935. Meanwhile, similar discoveries were being made in various other parts of the world, and in the 1960s the work Watkins had done forty years earlier was at last seen to be important. Today, many professionals, as well as amateurs, are studying the virtually worldwide network of ley lines, trying to make sense of them and to discover why they were regarded as so important in earlier times, and why places of worship in particular were in those days built on hilltops crisscrossed by these lines. Although the hilltops discovered by Watkins and subsequently by others were often found to be occupied by comparatively recently-built Christian churches or villages, traces of an older use were often present: perhaps a standing stone or ancient well nearby, or even a stone circle. In some cases, stones had been built into church or other walls or were incorporated into the village cross and were reputed to have once been objects of veneration. It is true that the early Christians often built their churches at a place where people were accustomed to worship the pagan gods of the old religion. By this means it was easier to persuade them to make the change to Christianity. Such were the facts as gathered by Watkins and his followers. They even discovered that in certain impassable places tunnels had been dug to follow or link up the ley lines. But why they and the hilltops they linked were so important to some earlier civilization remained a mystery. In the British Isles it was the Celts, led by their priests, the Druids, who were given credit for the earliest use of hilltops as places of worship. It is now known that, although the Celts undoubtedly used them as did the Christians who followed later, they were originally established by a much earlier civilization. The speculation about the origin of stone circles, together with the mystery of the ley lines and the hilltops continues. The ultimate question is whether those now living at or near such places are likely to experience anything akin to whatever it was that drew the ancients to them in the first place. Had Watkins travelled more widely, he would doubtless have discovered that significant hilltops, and perhaps ley lines as well, were not confined to the British Isles or even to Europe. There is in Uttar Pradesh, India, a holy place called Bithur which has a long legendary history as "The Centre of the Universe" and "The Navel of the Earth." Situated above the banks of the Ganges, it is revered as the site of the first creation of life on this planet. Alternatively, it is regarded as the place where creation was completed and the planet's symbolic umbilical cord was lied and severed. Nobody seems to be quite certain as to what actually happened there so long ago, but everybody knows that a Shivalingam has been on the hilltop so long that the date of its establishment is lost in time. There it sits in its little temple, the symbol of the fertility god, Shiva, who is also the Great Destroyer; while nearby is the Well of Bithur and below flows India's most holy river, the Ganges. When I visited Bithur some years back by car, travelling from the nearest city, Kanpur, I found the site somewhat neglected, with stick and mud huts by the roadside. But in the village itself there were more substantial buildings, including open-fronted shops where flowers, sweets and other offerings for the gods could be bought. From there, a long, narrow lane led over a hump-bridge towards the holy place itself, and for the last and steepest part of the ascent cars had to be parked and climbing had to be done on foot. At the top of the knoll we found not only the main temple but other more modern ones. From all of them a beautiful view could be had of the river below. So here was just one example of a hilltop temple in India at least as old-established as those on prehistoric sites elsewhere - one which was still in use as a Hindu place of worship. A few months later, to escape the heat of a tropical summer, we moved north to the foothills of the Himalayas and ourselves lived on a hilltop. It was one of many, some crowned with forts, others with small villages, the nearest village being Shakti Ghat. It had, we soon learnt, been built at a place of great religious significance: an "energy place," one of many such to be found throughout India, and was linked with creative forces - those of a goddess. The name Shakti Ghat actually means "energy hill" - in this case, female energy which, although there was no temple, was sometimes to be seen shimmering on the hilltop above the actual village. So we were told, though we never actually saw the lights ourselves, for by that time - as midnight approached - we were always back home on our own hilltop where nothing like that ever happened. Shaktis have a long tradition in India, dating back to the old days of Vedic worship and polytheism, before the concepts of the Creator, the Preserver and the Destroyer and fertility god emerged. In those days cosmic powers were worshipped and the shaktis were examples of these. They were believed to live on hilltops - hence the name Shakti Ghat or Energy Hill. We wondered whether the lights sometimes visible on these hilltops were only lightning. But the people assured us that the shakti on their hilltop was no mere occasional flash of lightning, but a living goddess so powerful that anybody venturing to climb up and approach her shimmering lights would be stopped in their tracks and forced to retreat. Still unexplained was that not all hilltops in India - or, for that matter, anywhere else - were of any particular significance: only if a shakti dwelt there. There was no shakti on any other hilltop for miles around. But we soon began to notice other hilltops that were temple sites - Jakku Hill at Simla, for instance. And farther north, in Kashmir, we found another hallowed hilltop, Sankaracharya at Srinagar. People were visiting the ancient temple to Shiva after walking all the way from distant cities such as Calcutta. They were convinced that by so doing they would enhance their fertility. Shiva, of course, is a male god; but his wife, who goes by various names - Sita, Parvati and Uma amongst others - is deemed to possess the feminine shakti power. Wherever a male god dwells, his female partner - his deva or shakti - is to be found. Because Shiva is a fertility god, he and his shakti are not always represented in the temples in human form, but rather as lingam and yoni or phallus and womb, so that what one sees on entering is the womb inverted over the phallus. Fertility worship - the worship of creation and procreation - in no matter which part of the world, or which of the old religions, encompasses the two sexes, male and female in the biological sense, and also their specific attributes, masculinity and femininity, or masculine and feminine gender. The sexes are immutable, being biologically fixed. Not so gender which, being an attribute, may be applied to either sex - for instance, a masculine woman or a man blessed with feminine gentleness. Such attributes, like all others, have little or no impact on procreation, which is a purely biological process. But they do enhance relationships between the sexes. The question then arises, is creation, like procreation, a biological process? It may be suggested that this is a "chicken-and-egg" situation, but clearly this is not so. Procreation, by definition, came after creation. In other words, the Universe, the Solar System and the planets came into existence earlier in time than did plants and animals. But that is not to say that life itself did not precede the creation of the Universe and all that is in it. In fact, if procreation is derived from creation, both must be biological processes and life therefore had to be in existence before creation - indeed it was a pre-requisite. It is interesting that before the demise of the USSR, scientists there claimed that they had discovered that Earth was a living entity enveloped in a network of living strands that covered its entire surface. Perhaps the ley lines that have been discovered in so many parts of the world are involved in such a network. Until Isaac Newton gave the world Newtonian physics, students of the Universe could still feel closely in contact with the ancients. Back in the 7th century B.C. the Greek philosopher, Thales, stated, "Everything is full of gods." In the light of Newtonian physics and all that has followed, this would seem to make little sense, but up to that time the links with classical Greece and Rome were less tenuous. Thales' statement refers to the aspects of the gods that enabled them to be in more than one place at the same time, a concept whose origin dates back to prehistoric times long before Athens became a centre of culture. An aspect is generally understood to refer to a "look" or appearance. Applied to persons, it may refer to behaviour under varying circumstances; or to interests or abilities. But when applied to gods, the word takes on a deeper meaning. A god is a spirit and as such has many different aspects that may manifest themselves almost anywhere. The term gods is generally deemed to include both male and female entities, and goddesses are similarly endowed. In the Hindu religion, both the gods and their shaktis are seen as multiple spirits with many aspects. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which are monotheistic, God (by whatever name he is known) has many aspects. Three of them appear in the Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - all aspects of God. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit in particular displays multiplicity. The concept of a divided god is difficult for some people to understand, particularly when they are taught that God created people in his own image. After all, no human being can appear in more than one place at the same time. This confusion is caused by failure to understand the nature of spirits - including our own individual spirits - as distinct from physical bodies. Before Newton, such matters were probably better understood, as they are among the so-called less developed peoples to this day. Meanwhile, despite Newton, many people have discovered that it is, after all, perfectly possible to be spiritually in more than one place simultaneously. This is usually referred to as "out-of-body experience," a state in which part of the spirit leaves the body while enough remains to keep the body alive. We usually think of the spirit as having the same form as the body, but this is true only up to a point. The term aura is used to describe a spirit that is larger than the body and therefore lends to surround it. It is the aura that enables the spirit to move, amoeba-like, away from the body, and obviously when this happens the original body-like form changes. What happens is that the aura sends out a tentacle, at the end of which a replica of the main spirit is formed, and this naturally has the same appearance as the body. The larger and stronger the spirit, the greater its potential multiplicity. The strongest spirit in existence is known as God or The Great Spirit. But while he possesses intrinsic strength, pagan gods have always needed to be sustained by those who worship them. The more such a god or goddess is worshipped, the stronger they become; it is because they are worshipped that they are able to maintain their multiplicity. All of this was understood to a varying extent by the ancients. People knew that their gods and goddesses had this ability to a greater or lesser extent. The same applies to Hinduism to this day. Their gods, more often referred to nowadays as "lords," together with their shaktis, are living spirits, some benign, others malevolent. This openness, despite its obvious disadvantages, enabled people to believe that anything was possible. At any time a creative cornucopia might appear and present them with all the bounties of nature. It was claimed that some people had actually had this experience - that they had actually witnessed creation. But some had perhaps seen a cornucopia come spiralling towards them only to disappear without a trace. Others, more interestingly, claimed that after such a visitation they would find a token gift at their feet. Those who have been lost in the bush in places like Australia or some remote part of North or South America have claimed to have been helped in this way. For instance, a box of matches might be left, enabling the recipient to light a fire and not only cook a meal but send up smoke signals. By the same token, an empty water-canister might be filled or food be left. Such miracles still happen, but the tendency now is to ignore their true origin and imagine things were left by some other person who a few hours or days earlier had passed that way. The problem is that according to Newtonian physics cornucopias simply cannot happen; or rather, they cannot be explained in Newtonian terms. The concept of the Holy Spirit being always near to us all presents similar difficulties and it is, I think, such failure to understand the multiple nature of God the Creator that has caused so much speculation about, for instance, the Star of Bethlehem. This star, as we all know from the Christmas carols we were taught as children, did not appear to move across the sky as did all the other stars, but instead stood still "right over the place where Jesus lay." Modern thinking has led researchers to seek for some easily explicable phenomenon such as a comet or a planetary conjunction, when surely the simple explanation is that the Holy Spirit was present, appearing as a star. Another example of the receptiveness of people's minds in the past was Plato's account of "the cave" as an explanation of man's place in the Universe. He likened humanity to prisoners in a dark, underground cavern into which only a certain amount of light was allowed to penetrate, but since all were chained and immobilised with their backs to the light, they could see what was happening behind them only by its reflection from the wall in front of them. From this allegory, we may conclude that although a perfect form, described as "goodness," had been created, all that humanity could attain was a pale shadow of reality i.e. that which was the privilege of the gods. This may be seen as an early attempt to define pattern. The pattern is created by God, the Great Spirit of the Universe, and all that has been created - including humanity - reflects that pattern and aspires to it. First emerges the Idea, the initial stage of creation; then the Idea must be put into practice. The Idea, or thought, is the basis of creation, which is going on all the time. All have the opportunity to take part in it and so anything is possible. People were still thinking along such lines in the 17th century when Isaac Newton came upon the scene. True, there had been a break after the fall of the Roman Empire and the tragic burning of the library at Alexandria, and for a long time during the Dark Ages religious considerations had hampered thought. But much of the knowledge and wisdom of the ancients had been regained during the Renaissance. This did not happen by mere chance. With the rise of Rome, the descendants of the ancient Greeks of Athens and Sparta had established themselves in Scythia in the Eastern Empire, north of the Black Sea. Scholars continued to emerge from among them, including several notable astronomers, and it was because of their work that Copernicus and Galileo were able, during the Renaissance, to prove that the planets were rotating around the Sun. The Greeks were also great ship-builders and seafarers. An astronomer, Pytheas of Massalia (now known as Marseilles) sailed to the north-west in about 330-325 B.C. and discovered a land he called Thule. It subsequently became a "promised land" to the oppressed Greeks living in the Eastern Empire, and for centuries they dreamt of escaping to Thule, there to establish their own traditional city-states. It is believed that what Pytheas discovered was either Norway or Iceland. But is was only after the Roman Empire fell that the Greek leaders, known as the Heruli, were able to rediscover Thule and bring their people overland to the new home they had chosen for them. This great exodus took fifty years and they finally arrived in 512 A.D. With them they brought their pantheon of gods and goddesses, but once they had arrived and mingled with the indigenous people, they adopted the names of the gods of the Teutonic pantheon. This assured their acceptance even though they worshipped Thor rather than Odin as their chief god. Thor, being the god of thunder, was the equivalent of Zeus or Jupiter. The ultimate outcome of the settlement of Norway and Iceland by the Heruli was not only the creation of Greek-style city-states, but the dissemination of the descendants of the aristocrats of Athens and Sparta throughout Europe, where they eventually established themselves as rulers. It was their descendants who were still ruling in Europe at the time of the Renaissance, which reached its zenith in the 17th century when Newton was born. Like aristocracy, which means "the rule of the best people", democracy, "the rule of the people", was a Greek concept. Democracy was seen then, as now, as a means by which achievers might rise from among the general populace. What is I think not generally understood is that in classical Greece and Rome, "the people" did not include those who did all the manual labour. For this they relied on slaves. It was because of this tradition that the concept of slavery and the existence of slavery as a basis of society persisted for so long. It also explains the paradox that great revolutionary democrats such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were the owners of slaves. It was in the 17th century, as democracy in the modern sense began to develop, that the power of the aristocrats started to wane. In England, the parliament ruled for eleven years without a king. It was the people who voted the king back in 1660, and this was eventually followed by the Revolution of 1689. The days of the absolute monarch were over in England and soon all Europe would adopt what they saw as a more democratic form of government. It was this changing world into which Isaac Newton was born in 1642, son of a farmer who had died before his birth. He grew up under the harsh rule of Oliver Cromwell and was barely eighteen at the time of the Restoration. Charles II, under whose auspices the Royal Society was founded, took a great interest in scientific discoveries and inventions, and this created a climate admirably suited to a young man like Newton who, despite his status as an orphan, never lacked support and assistance. Thus he entered Cambridge University, and the break in his studies caused by its closure at the time of the Great Plague, far from holding him back, enabled him to start to develop his theories. His earliest work was to calculate the length of the lunar month. Later, building on earlier work done by Galileo, he was the first to use a prism to break up white light into its component colours. Through this work he established the basis of spectroscopy. Then he worked on the emission theory of light and invented the reflecting telescope. Another of his inventions was the use of integral calculus rather than the traditional Euclidian geometry in his work. Newton worked on and formulated a number of natural laws such as the Law of Gravitation and the Laws of Motion. He discovered that force applied to an object changes its motion. His work, as set out in his book, Principia, published in 1667, revolutionised scientific thought. He was recognised as the greatest scientist of his time and was President of the Royal Society from 1703 until his death in 1727. Some of his theories, however, could not be proven through experiment. For instance, he postulated absolute space and absolute time, theories that were later disproved. Although Newtonian physics allowed many other discoveries and inventions to follow, it introduced a rigidity into scientific thought. Neither Newton nor most of those who followed were able to understand that the laws of Newtonian physics might not apply in conditions other than those within our own space and time. Whenever what was observed didn't seem to fit into the Newtonian scheme, there was a tendency to dismiss it as inexplicable or an illusion. After Newton, the climate of learning changed. Until about that time, the term "philosophy" was generally applied to the study of the Universe and what we now call science, as well as to the more narrow concept of philosophy. Now the various aspects of learning tended to be separated: science for the scientists, philosophy for the philosophers, theology for the theologians. Science was moving away from its classical traditions and becoming increasingly exclusive of the unexplained and new ideas. The age of specialisation was beginning and the versatile Renaissance man was a discarded notion. Scientists were loath to admit that there were things that could not be explained in terms of the known natural laws, including those introduced by Newton, all of which could be supported by laboratory tests. If anything didn't conform to existing laws, then it was "not there." Strangely, no account seems to have been taken by most of these specialists of the fact that Newton and his contemporaries did not adopt such an attitude.
It was also Einstein who was able to prove by experiment that time and space were not absolute. But despite such advances, the majority of scientists apparently remained unwilling or unable to escape from their self-imposed Newtonian bonds. Newton, like Einstein, was an innovator who questioned all things to the limit of what was available to him during his lifetime. He would probably have been appalled to see his ideas being used in such a way as to hamper progress. How else would he have viewed a Universe that was apparently expanding at ever-increasing speeds? It is true that the farther away the galaxies appear to be, the faster they seem to be moving away from the observer. Would he not have tried to formulate a new law to apply to objects and events outside our space and time and the resulting conditions in which we live, work and observe? Perhaps he would have suggested that the laws of physics that apply in this small corner of the Universe might not apply elsewhere. When we consider what is "normal", we are thinking of what may occur under limited conditions in our own space and time where everything by its very nature is temporary. It is Eternity that is permanent, and there different laws must apply.
Scientists were skeptical. The situation regarding UFOs was compounded by the fact that it was the military who had spotted them and their first reaction was to connect them with "the enemy". UFOs became mysterious, the subject of much speculation in the more sensational press. Scientists backed away. It was safer to believe that they didn't exist: they had invaded our space and time - and they were not obeying the laws of physics, could not be proved to exist by means of laboratory tests and clearly belonged to some other discipline of learning. Some conveniently dismissed them as hallucinations. Yet there were some interesting clues which nobody at the time seemed to notice: the sky is full of star systems and galaxies, often described as lens-shaped. Were these new, much smaller, objects not also lens-shaped like any other time system? When they flew over, they affected the time being experienced by observers below, and nobody knew how or why. The effect was to cause the observer to experience the same events twice in succession, and clocks had been mysteriously turned back to match. It seemed that the whole UFO incident had occurred "outside" our time, or that they had brought their own time with them and imposed it on the observer. As to why they had come in 1947, just two years after the first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, polluting the atmosphere with nuclear waste, was this timing a mere coincidence? Exit the Entire Family, Trailed by a UFO It was the spring of 1972, and I sat at my kitchen table one morning, gazing in amazement at the little cornucopia that had just deposited itself before me. But it was not its spiral shape, open at the near end, that took my attention: it was what it contained. There, spilling out from a wrapping of filmy blue chiffon, was a glistening display of jewels: diamonds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, amethysts, jewels of every kind and colour. I had hardly recovered enough to notice that the cornucopia was apparently gradually evaporating, when a small, delicate human hand appeared from behind me and tweaked one corner of the blue chiffon. With that, it quickly wrapped itself round the jewels, and I turned to see a small figure, also in blue, disappearing through the open kitchen door, dragging the chiffon behind him still enveloping all the jewels. Except... except that there on the kitchen table lay a single pearl, round and perfect. I picked it up, examined it and eventually put it away. I still have it.
We had chosen a hilltop as the location of our new home, and I had at once felt attracted to the place. Beautiful views were to be had in all directions; the winding road, lakes, forests, a cluster of houses, a distant farmstead, cows grazing by a stream below, and the two churches that stood facing each other in the village. The hilltop itself was divided into two, rather like a figure 8. Though our part, which was smaller than the other, was elliptical rather than circular. We took some of our household goods along there in advance, stopping on the way at a picnic place we knew. Had there been another available, we would have gone there instead, for this one was renowned for the number and voracity of the local mosquitoes. But we had come prepared and had our "bug-kit" handy as we sat down under the trees to our meal. Yes, there were the mosquitoes, waiting as usual for their next victim. But as soon as they saw us, they all flew away. We had stopped at that place before and were to do so many times in the future, but this was the only time the mosquitoes ever acted in this way.
We spent all day at our new home, preparing for our removal there. Later, as our little yellow car nosed its way back towards our old home, dusk began to fall. It was then that I noticed a single bright star in the sky and it seemed to be following us. But then, I concluded, this was a common illusion caused by the distance between a star or the moon and the observer. I forgot about the incident for the time being. But afterwards, when I spotted such a star, I wondered if the one I'd seen over the harbour had followed us to our new home and back, protecting us on the way from marauding insects. It was a busy time and on moving day I was too preoccupied to think of stars, or whether one had once more followed us to our new home. But soon after we moved in, I happened again to notice one very bright star in the western sky. Was this the one I'd seen over the harbour? Or was it just the evening star, Venus? Again, I was too busy to pursue the matter. But it could have been a UFO of some sort, especially in view of what was to happen later. There was much to be done at our new home, both inside and out. Apparently nobody who had lived there before had ever planted a garden and the only flowers were wild ones: Marguerites, golden-rod, asters and dozens of dandelions and various "noxious weeds" as described in the government handbook, all to be gotten rid of. As we'd brought a few plants from our former home, I had to dig a small plot for them as soon as we arrived - no easy task, for the soil was hard clay and this was summer-time. Our columbines and Cape gooseberries looked very unhappy at first. But, together with the mint, violets and sunflowers, they survived. There were other problems, though: the house stood on about three-quarters of an acre of land, and not only was much of it covered with dense bushes and brambles, even the grassy part wasn't level. The other part of our hill-top had been cultivated, but our part, on which stood a row of four houses with ours at the northern end, was full of humps and bumps, some of which we would have to flatten before we could plant anything. I noticed that none of the other backyards had been cleared either, let alone planted, and all those nearest us were almost impenetrably covered with bushes, with trees here and there. There was a steep drop to the north and west, so that we actually looked down on the roofs of houses and out-buildings to the north of us, while below the far end of our land a swamp where sedges grew was home to the little frogs known as peepers. There was something about the area that reminded me of some other place I'd visited. But it was a good place: it even had apple trees and masses of wild raspberries and, on the sunny south-western slopes where a footpath ran, wild strawberries. But I soon ran into difficulties digging. Under the humps I was trying to flatten were rocks - some of them very large - and rubble. We had to ask some of the local students to give us a hand. We were still trying to clear our backyard when the first snowstorm hit and we had to wait till spring before we could continue. It was then that I noticed that one of the stones had something carved on it. It was an apparently small, round, flat stone, about ten inches across, and on it had been roughly carved a small cross. I was at once reminded of other such stones I'd seen in Europe - stones dating back to the days of the "old religion", some of them close to a church. The crosses had been carved, some of them elaborately, though often small and plain like this one, to "Christianise" the stones. Now I was beginning to understand why the place had seemed so familiar to me: there had probably been a stone circle nearby, or at least a place of worship, in pre-Christian times, perhaps as long as 1,500 years ago. On the other side of the Atlantic, standing stones of all kinds had come to be associated with the Celts, but they were the last to use them. In North America, who knows how they were used and by whom? It has been suggested that the Libyans were involved. In the spring of the following year, which was 1973, we continued clearing our land, first burning off all the brush. All went well until there was a deafening explosion that immediately brought the local volunteer fire-fighters to our aid. Somebody had dumped the remains of an old truck in the bushes without emptying the gas tank. There appeared to be a car, too, on the edge of the northern slope. Only its shiny black roof was visible and when we went to investigate, we discovered under it a disused well eight feet in diameter, lined with interlocking stones without the use of cement. We found a rope and lowered a bucket into the well to see if there was any water, not expecting to be successful, for it had been dug in such an elevated position. By the length of our rope we calculated its depth to be about sixty feet, so its bottom must be above the level of the bottom of the slope. Yet we got water from that well, sparkling and clear; and when we had it analysed, it was not only free of contaminants but had a very low mineral content - and none of the uranium that was such a problem in may of the neighbours' wells. "Ah," they told us, "You've found the Indians' well it's the only one that never goes dry in the summer." A well on a hilltop that never went dry - strange! As we worked at landscaping our property, we discovered that over the centuries it must have been used by various people long before the village was founded in the 19th century. Rubble foundations and corner-stones indicated wooden buildings of some sort, built in comparatively modern times. But the neighbours, some of them in their eighties and nineties, were all agreed that none of their ancestors ever built there, and the oldest inhabitant declared that in the 1890s she remembered seeing the Indians camping there. Certainly they had used the land in the past, for we'd found arrow-heads and various other Micmac artifacts, as well as what appeared to be the tip of a heavy mediaeval sword and part of the blade of a later one. My suspicions about earlier activities on our hilltop were soon confirmed when local people mentioned that "table-stones" -a dolmen -had been found due east from us at the other side of the village during a civil engineering project. We later met George Young, author of a book entitled Ancient Peoples and Modern Ghosts, and he said he had seen the dolmen before it was covered up again and had no doubt that there had been a stone circle or at least standing stones on or behind our land. By that time we had uncovered other interesting worked stones, one with the very worn outline of what looked like a T-shirt; a "shield-escutcheon" stone similar to a much better-preserved one at Stonehenge. Another had a deeply-carved semi-circle and "handle" representing a double-headed axe. It was one of Sir Geoffrey Ashe's assistants from Glastonbury in England, here to look for such sites, who identified that particular carving. Meanwhile, we had been trying to dig out the little stone marked with a cross. But to our surprise we discovered that it was not so small after all. Soon, as we dug, we had a rough head and shoulders exposed. With the aid of local high-school and university students, we had dug out a large herm - again similar to those I'd seen in Europe, about four feet tall. Another stone had been attracting my attention: I
was sure I'd seen one just like it somewhere. It seemed to have been
broken off at the base or as it lay on its side, at one end. The
other end was rounded. Eventually I recalled having seen such a
stone in England, at the base of a stone pillar known as the
"The Cross" in the Lancashire village of Tockholes. The smaller
stone there - just like the one we had in our backyard - was called
the Toches Stone. These were, of course, phallic symbols, the
smaller stone representing a testicle. Many of these have been
removed during conversion from phallus to "cross". On our site, it
was the phallus that was missing-doubtless broken up and lost among
the rubble foundations we'd found. The small stone that had survived
was about a foot long and easy to move. I had often wondered what it would be like to spend a night at Stonehenge or some other ancient site where gods long-forgotten had once been worshipped. But it wasn't until we had raised the herm that things begun to happen - not on the ground but in the sky.
Observation UFOs Behind Our House A remote village, unlit by any street-lamps, is an excellent place from which to observe stars, planets and moon, especially if it is situated on top of the highest hill for miles around. It was September when we raised the herm, and Sirius, the Dog Star, was bright in the southern sky, together with other stars less bright. But then something very strange happened: that quarter of the sky became densely black. There were no clouds most of the time: it seemed to be the "blackness" that was blotting out all the stars, sometimes even Sirius itself. At the same time, just above the horizon, a faint, shimmering glow would appear on some nights, which we dubbed "The Southern Lights". It seemed to be in the wrong part of the sky and we were puzzled. Above it, darkness always hovered. At that time and during the weeks that followed, I noticed no other changes in the southern sky, but it occurred to me later that when a bright star again became visible, it probably was not Sirius. It was in the same area, to the right of the dark patch, but higher up; and next time I saw it, it was not twinkling. Then came December 1st, which was a Saturday, so we had extra people in the house. Just after supper, one of them called us to an upstairs window at the back of the house: something had landed on the cow-pasture to the south of us on the other part of our hill-top. They could see it bobbing up and down just in front of Imp's Woods as we called them -after a favourite cat who had wandered off there and never returned. We ran to look, and there it was, a beautiful, semi-transparent golden globe, spangled with tiny golden lights, bouncing around on the meadow; and in it was what seemed to be a single shining figure, a perfectly-proportioned man. We all gazed in wonder and amazement as the UFO -the first any of us had ever seen that was obviously not a star - moved hither and thither over the hill-top. But as it did so, it became evident that there were two people within - we'd missed the second one, perhaps because the person was somewhat smaller and carried in the man's arms. Now, however, as he put her down, we could see that it was a woman in a long, shining golden dress. They stood there side by side, and then, exactly half an hour after the UFO had appeared it began to rise and withdraw, and it finally dropped into Imp's Woods out of sight.
What I had just seen was not, however, a creative thought: it was informative, a person somewhere with news for me. I was reminded of the students' Ouija-boards, very popular at the time, which I had seen could be dangerous and had constantly advised them not to use. This was similar, but without the board. But just in case there was any danger, I took the precaution of offering a prayer on all such future occasions.
But we still had no idea how our UFO had come into being or whether it was likely to pay us another visit, so I decided to check the sky every night if weather conditions allowed. We were not disappointed: two days later, after a cloudy Sunday, it was back at 6:20 p.m. By this time some of our neighbours, who had also seen it, were interested, and one of the boys invited us to use his telescope. We took it in turns watching the UFO until it dropped into the woods, bright, golden lantern, two lesser lights circling around the central figures. After that, nothing happened until the 8th, when our UFO appeared again. I at once sensed that something was wrong: it didn't rise from Imp's Woods until 8 p.m. and then faltered and immediately fell back again. But I was now certain that the bright star now also appearing in the west was not an ordinary one. It did not appear to move across the sky as other stars do, but tended to stay in the same place behind our property. The golden lantern did not return. But by now I had come to know what was causing the delay: other UFOs were on the way. On Christmas Eve, a bright star like the one I'd noticed earlier was in the western sky not far from the evening star. It being a night of celebration, we and the neighbours were all up until the early hours. I still kept an eye on the stars, and in the end noticed that although the evening star had long set, the other star was rising in the west, behind our house. Some of the neighbours thought it must be the Kohoutek Comet, which was expected around that time. But it was not behaving as we'd been led to expect, coming at the wrong time and in the wrong place. It was also the wrong shape. It stayed up there all night, earning the name locally of Christmas Star. Next night - Christmas - a star was back in the same part of the sky, but I suspected it was not the same one: for one thing, it was tinged with gold. It didn't stay up so long as the one on the previous night, following the evening star down over the horizon to the right of the dark area above Imp's Woods. It was, of course, our new UFO, now apparently in a better state of repair. By the 28th, when we again glimpsed our UFO twice through the clouds, UFO sightings were beginning to be reported in the newspapers. Our UFO was in the western sky close to the evening star, which we noticed had acquired a "halo" so we watched carefully. The sky was clear now, and when it went down, it left behind a new, tiny UFO - the cause of the "halo", which was actually light radiating from and around it. It stayed in the same place, behind our house, all night. Once again, we didn't see where this second UFO had originated. But the following evening it appeared in the southern sky, above the horizon and just below the dark patch. The news media were now speculating that the UFO that had been reported earlier was the U.S. "Sky-lab" that was orbiting the Earth at that time. I didn't attempt to suggest otherwise to them: I wanted to see what would happen next.
New year, 1974, brought in a new phase for our two UFOs. In fact, there was now only one. They had appeared very close together near the dark area, one larger than the other and containing the usual two people, a man and a woman; the other with a very tiny shining figure inside, apparently sitting cross-legged in the "lotus" position. It was hard to tell whether he had a female companion, unless he was holding her in his lap. I was later to discover that no UFO ever emerges without at least one of each sex, so a tiny woman must have been present too. We awaited new developments, hoping to see him stand up, but next time we looked, there was only one UFO with three or four figures all huddled together inside. The two UFOs had apparently drifted closer and closer together until they had met and merged. We wished we'd seen it happen, but the fact that it had done so indicated that UFOs are not "solid" like ordinary aircraft, but able to change shape and even to merge with each other and become one. Next evening, there were again two UFOs: another new, small one had appeared, again with a tiny man sitting inside, From that time forth, we occasionally caught sight of either just the larger UFO or two of them, the second one always smaller. There was a great deal of fog at the time and it was difficult to see exactly what was going on and whether it was true that the UFOs were actually appearing and then merging, but in the end we concluded that they were following that routine and more and more people were collecting in the larger one, whose shape was gradually changing as if to make more room. When the fog at last lifted, it was followed by a succession of cloudy nights and so it was still difficult to discern what was going on in the sky. But when we finally managed to glimpse the larger UFO, we noticed that it was beginning to twinkle and we had the impression that it was now farther away. Had it been as close to us as it had been when we first saw it, it would not have been obscured by the clouds and would have looked bigger. On January 15, when again the UFO was obscured by clouds, we noticed a number of small flashes of light around the dark patch in the south so obviously something was happening behind the clouds. The following night we had to wait till after midnight for the clouds to part, and this time we could see that there was much activity within the UFO. On the 18th, both the large UFO and the flashes of light appeared after sunset.
The UFO then moved halfway round the sky and came to a standstill in the north. During this period I began to notice that sounds appeared to be coming from the UFO or UFOs. Sometimes it was a light humming which became a sort of background noise, audible at all times and indicating their presence day and night. Just before sunset, the sound became much louder, until the UFOs rose from the woods with a roar and took their places in the sky. Now the large UFO moved to the south, rising from and descending into Imp's Woods a little to the left of the dark patch. It was easy for me to walk over into the cow pasture, where a rough track led into the woods, familiar to me from the days when I used to take Imp for a walk there on his leash. One day I decided once again to take a walk in that direction, hoping to find the spot where the UFO had come down. I never got there. It was as if something invisible was pushing me back. Obviously, the UFO people didn't want me there and what I was experiencing was repulsion. That was what I'd been warned about in India. It was very strong and I knew I had to turn back, I didn't want to upset our UFO visitors, who were obviously possessed of superior powers. As I turned to go back to the house, I heard beautiful music coming from the woods behind me, as if the people in the UFO were happy that I had got their message and were trying to compensate for disappointing me. I thought again of the ancient Greeks: they had maintained that the sky was full of sound and music. Perhaps they were right. Later I would discover that each UFO as it came near had a song for its people to sing. The UFO songs were many, apparently chosen by the people themselves. Their tastes seemed to vary considerably, some singing folk-songs from Europe or North America, others preferring classical themes, modem dance music or popular songs. Often they sang of love, as if they were serenading me - though more likely they were singing to the women who were with them. It was always the men who sang, some in deep baritone, others in the tenor range; and sometimes they would sing chorus, the women joining in. After a while, I was able to identify the singers not only by their voices but by the songs they sang. Each had his favourite, not always a love Song: some preferred martial music, songs of the beauties of nature or even Sinking-songs. At times there seemed to be partying going on in the large UFO. At the stage where we were now, Scottish, Irish, Newfoundland and modern folk-songs predominated. With all this free entertainment, we hardly needed to switch on the radio or the TV as our favourite recordings were always being played back to us by the UFO people. Ten UFOs and How to Get Rid of Garbage On February 1, a star which we believed to be our largest UFO appeared in the south-west and moved to the west. It was hard to distinguish it from the other stars in the sky now that it was so much further away. We could no longer be sure about the people inside. I now had to watch for other means of identification: colour, direction of travel if any, aura if present, erratic behaviour, twinkling. The star - or UFO - I was monitoring on February 1 was not a planet: it was twinkling, and planets never twinkle; but UFOs often do. In their case it is caused by the activity of the people inside. It was also apparently not part of a constellation: such stars are far away and they always twinkle, but they never move erratically or away from their constellation as this one was doing. So we knew it was a UFO. A slight gold tinge suggested that it was indeed the one which had first appeared on December 1. We had to bear in mind, however, that there might be another UFO present, or perhaps the star we had seen over the harbour before we moved. On the evening of the 6lh, our UFO appeared in a new place - in the eastern sky, very bright, very active and beautiful to watch, flashing blue and red, reminiscent of a fireworks display. Everybody up there seemed to be excited, and I soon learnt that they were celebrating their new-found ability to produce colours at will. Still entertaining us in this way, the UFO moved gradually round the sky to Imp's Woods and ended up in the west. On the 9th we had two UFOs again: one of the men in the main UFO had left it to form one of his own, and was moving away to the right of it. Starting in the east, the two of them moved around in tandem, circling to the south, on to the west and ending up in the northern sky. But I noticed that as they neared Imp's Woods, the smaller light flashed out, I looked at my watch: it was exactly midnight. The larger UFO continued to shine, but was now stationary in the south-east, just before reaching Imp's Woods. It remained there until 1:45 a.m. and then continued, flashing out in exactly the same spot as the other one had done. It then re-appeared and continued alone to the south-west, where it again came to a standstill. Once again it flashed out, and I next spotted it in the north-western sky. Next day, both UFOs appeared once more and so the "in tandem" "operations continued. From that time forth on clear nights, two UFOs were always visible, one following the other around. We assumed we were seeing the same small one every night. Within a few days, the smaller one had disappeared. By the I4th, the remaining UFO was fixed in the southern sky, and so remained night after night without moving. The only changes in the sky were occasional flashes over Imp's Woods beneath the dark patch. Then we noticed a slight change in the shape of the remaining UFO, and as it moved closer to us we could see once again the people inside. All but the original two had apparently left, presumably in their own little UFOs. It was then that we realised that the smaller UFO we'd observed night after night was actually a succession of UFOs. There was no way of distinguishing one small UFO from another, but what we'd been witnessing was the departure of all the "guests" from the larger UFO as soon as they were able and strong enough to operate independently. On the 24th our UFO appeared in the south as usual, but the man and woman inside seemed to be having some difficulty in remaining upright, We watched as the man tried to hold the woman up. He succeeded for a while - then both fell flat on their faces. We concluded that they had given so much energy to the others that they were exhausted. We were relieved to see them recover in the end, although the woman appeared still to need a little support. Also towards the end of February, a strange thing happened in our dining room. I always prepared everything for breakfast overnight, so I had set our cereal dishes on the table as usual. That was on the 20th, when nothing in particular was happening to our remaining UFO. In the morning, we discovered one of the dishes filled to the brim with water. We never did discover where the water came from: I could only assume from another cornucopia. This again reminded us that we were living on the site of a stone circle or similar ancient place of worship. Occasionally in that part of the house -the back part - if it was raining outside, a few spots would fall in the rooms, apparently coming from nowhere: the roof was sound and the ceilings dry. There was never enough to cause any problems; but there were real problems when the opposite happened and small things accidentally falling from our hands just disappeared in mid-air. That way I lost a page from a magazine, two small ornaments, a sheet of postage-stamps and - worst of all - my 24-carat wedding-band. I was sure that at least my ring would reappear, but it never did. We had to be very careful not to drop anything as long as we lived there - at least not in those parts of the house that we nicknamed "black holes" where everything disappeared. At that time the "black holes" seen in the sky were causing much comment in the press and were seen as destructive. Our Irish visitors used to tell us that "the
leprechauns" had taken our things. They should know: their country
is renowned for its ancient sites and Celtic crosses. They were also
right about something else: the "fairies" would one day bring us a
present or presents to make up for what we had lost. They did: an
amethyst pendant with seed pearls in a gold setting appeared one day
among the arrowheads and other artifacts we had dug up and left in
our garden-shed among the flower pots. Then suddenly on March 14 the clouds parted and the UFO that was revealed in the south was not twinkling. That is, if it was a UFO: it could have been the star I had first seen over the harbour at our old home. It was still shining steadily on in the south until the early hours, when I went to bed. Next day was the Ides of March, supposed to be unlucky. Our UFO was back and twinkling. But then there was unusual activity: two tiny specks of light leapt out of it into Imp's Woods and remained moving about there for some time, while the UFO itself seemed less bright. By 10:30 p.m. it and its attendant lights were gone. But the day was indeed unlucky for me: unfortunately I fell victim to a cold and was unable to observe what happened next. By the 18th I had recovered, and on the 22nd I noticed the man in our UFO working on a bright mass that had meanwhile collected at his feet. There was also another change in the sky: to the right of the UFO and above it, in the south-west, a small "half-moon" had appeared, and when the UFO moved, so did this other dim light, always in the same place in relation to it. It was a long time before I realised that what we were seeing was part of the aura of the man inside. He had become stronger and so his aura was much larger than his body, it was part of his head that we could see in this form.
On another occasion we drove to Cape Breton Island for the weekend. One of our UFOs rose very high in the sky - so high that I couldn't tell which one it was - and followed us. Where we stopped, our UFO stopped too, as if it was guarding us. New UFOs continued to emerge and by April nine had been created in all and were flying around the sky. On the morning of the 20th I awoke early to the sound of triumphant singing, and looking out at the eastern sky, saw a beautiful, golden sunrise over which a crescent moon still hung, together with our twinkling UFO and another small one to its right. Our tenth UFO had arrived, which may have accounted for all the celebrations. But the song was a popular love-lyric which the man in the small, new UFO had chosen to serenade his bride. Nearly all the UFO men were incurably romantic - quite the opposite of the "little green men" of science fiction. By this time I had discovered in conversation with them that they were all reincarnated. One or two claimed that they had already been through at least one other reincarnation, but for most this was the first time. Either way, this was their final reincarnation, they told me: they had gained eternal life. Naturally, I asked about their former lives. There were kings among them, and presidents and other statesmen; there were lawyers, teachers, philosophers, artists of all kinds, musicians and scientists. Some had followed more than one career: many were travellers, perhaps seafarers, some of whom owned ships. Not all were well-known in their former lives, but no matter what their trade, profession or occupation, all had led colourful lives. A North American native leader was among them, and a South American rebel; one was a Buddhist from India; and another had sold cats' meat in the streets of London. Above all, they had a lively sense of humour and a ready wit. It was good to know them and I was always sad when they had to leave for another part of the world. For all had roles to play and tasks to perform. They were here for a purpose and that purpose was to eliminate the pollution that was threatening all living things. Soon they would become better organized, but that would be much later. At the moment they were primarily involved in helping each new couple as they emerged in the southern sky behind our house. But there had been one notable break in the proceedings, they told me. That was on March 15, the night when the two tiny specks of light had apparently leapt from the UFO. Only now were they free to explain, and when they did, it was to tell me that it was all because one of their women had had an idea: "All our women are thinkers," they said, and this one had thought out a means of getting rid of unwanted material - garbage. No, they said, Earth people would not be able to do it that way. It would take too much energy. But they were "energy people" and for them it was possible. The principle was the use of antimatter. It is believed that there is an antimatter galaxy that is the mirror-image of the Milky Way. Everything that happens here automatically happens there, and even colours and darkness and light are reversed. I suppose a glance at a colour-negative would give some idea of what things look like in terms of antimatter. It has been discovered that the properties of matter and antimatter are such that if ever the two should meet, mutual destruction would result, leaving only the primeval energy from which the two sprang in the first place. What better way to get rid of unwanted and dangerous material, such as nuclear waste, than to send it out into space to meet its antimatter equivalent? So that night they had been doing an experiment and it had worked. I was never allowed inside a UFO and had to content myself with looking in from the outside. But I did meet some of their occupants, particularly during the early days when several of them had to share the same UFO. There was a reason for this: they were most of them too weak and sometimes too small to sustain a UFO independently. Some were unable to have a woman with them for fear of sapping her energy - always a risk at that stage. Imbalance between a man and a woman in a UFO tends to have that effect, as we had already observed. This was something they had to avoid as far as possible. So to compensate, they were sometimes allowed to spend a holiday in our house: not that they lacked companionship in the sky, but they were all so busy up there that they occasionally needed a break to enable them to re-adjust. Their appearance changed when they left the time and space inside their UFO and entered our (Earth) time and space. Some had arrived as little boys or were in other respects immature, and they had to be allowed to grow up again before they could leave the large UFO. Inside it, they were shining energy people, but as visitors to Earth they were often invisible, becoming visible only when in motion - and then only those parts of their anatomy that were moving, for instance, because they were walking as they entered, only their feet were visible and perhaps occasionally their hands. They were not allowed to come into physical contact with us, nor could they open a door or even turn the pages of a newspaper or a book, and as they were avid readers I had to do this for them. It might be imagined that there was some risk of our accidentally trying to sit on a chair already occupied by one of them. Certainly they warned us about it, for had we so much as touched them, our energy-balance would have been upset, perhaps sapping us or causing sickness. But nothing untoward ever happened, for they were careful to see to it that if we came near, we would experience repulsion and choose another chair. In practice, we usually knew where they were, however, by observing some movement on their part. And our cats were good indicators: they could obviously see our invisible guests and knew instinctively that they must keep away.
Another, who had started his new life as a little boy, was still full of boyish fun and liked to hide and catch me unaware as I went about my housework. Our TV stood diagonally across a corner in our living room and he loved to pop up from behind it as we were watching. UFO people normally come into being as fully-mature adults; those who started us children in those early days always needed help at first. But they usually grew up quickly, sometimes within the first week. Only then were they allowed to visit us. At least two of them arrived on horseback and left their steeds outside on our back lawn. Like their riders, the UFO horses were almost entirely invisible most of the time. Most of the UFO people kept pets, and some of the smaller lights within a UFO were actually cats, dogs or some other favourite animal. Once a man and woman were established in their own UFO, they would grow plants, too: some chose small flowering plants, others trees, While a few favoured several varieties, many preferred to fill their UFO with the colour and scent of just one. They started with their gardens. Later, when they were stronger they would add perhaps a house. They could change things within the UFO at will. They could also entertain, and this was usually done by a process of merging. By vibrating at the same speed two or more UFOs could temporarily become one. This didn't happen often while I was observing them, and at no time did I ever actually see a merging: only afterwards did it become evident. As I observed them, the UFO people were highly cultured. The one who used to hide behind our TV would entertain us on occasion with comic rhymes about the characters he had known in his former life in medieval times. One enormous man who always dressed in flowing robes (not a nightshirt in this case) almost always carried a cat on his shoulder and was usually followed by one or two others. Another, a small man, carried his cat in a little round basket. The two struck up a friendship over their pets and used to address each other as "Fat" and "Small." With their wives, all in the same UFO, they made up a singing foursome and Small celebrated all their happy times together in rhyming couplets. Many of them loved to dance. One, whose hobby was painting, had lived in the Edwardian era and he and his girl enjoyed the ballroom dancing of those times, particularly the Skaters' Waltz and the Merry Widow. Another, a playwright from an earlier era, had similar interests and moved with ease into an Edwardian lifestyle. I found the UFO people adaptable and willing to make friends with people who had lived in different times. Two centuries separated these dancers, but there was almost an entire millennium between Fat and Small. In their UFOs, fathers and sons lived like brothers, as did grandfathers and grandsons, and the same applied to the women. Now they were all the same age, twenty-five in Earth terms. It was a good age to be. One father and son amused me: they had lived in various places around the Mediterranean in Roman times and were both philosophers. In their former lives, the father had passed his brown work robe down to the son, by which time it was somewhat faded. Now, in their UFO, the son insisted on wearing a faded robe just as he had done all those years ago. When he tried to explain this to his bride while they were settling down in their UFO, he told her, "You see, we share the same robe." Her reply: "Then one of you must be naked half the time!" This caused a great deal of hilarity among the entire UFO population as the news got around. Those who came from classical Greece couldn't at first understand why people from later times wore clothes when they did gymnastics. To them, this was not gymnastics - "naked exercises" - at all, and they were anxious to enlighten them. But people who had come to their UFOs from those times tended to be shy and needed a great deal of persuasion to remove their clothes in the presence of others. Some even tried to hide, though in the end they would see the funny side of it all and end up dissolving into laughter. But there were sad times occasionally among the UFO men and women. Most tragic of all was the loss of a UFO by its occupants. Although they had all attained eternal life and were unlikely to lose it, as energy people they had to be monogamous. This was not a rule but a law of nature: to have more than one partner saps a UFO man's energy and the result is that the couple can no longer sustain either their UFO or their own bodies. They continue to live as spirits, but their bodies die and disintegrate. This didn't happen often, but when it did, the entire UFO community would go into mourning, singing sad songs and weeping and trying to console each other. I didn't see any children in the UFOs apart from those who arrived in an immature state of development early on, and had to be cared for by others already established. These children sat at the feet of their elders and had a hard time trying to become independent. Until they were fully-grown, they were a cause of great concern to others and often held up everything completely. Even so, none started out as babies. It was only after these immature people had been brought up to standard that the couples in the UFOs could think of having children of their own. What then happened was interesting: UFO women have been relieved of all the trials of pregnancy and are truly the equals of their men, for they don't produce babies but fully-grown mature adults. I would watch them as they walked away fully-clothed, usually with a blue silken velvet cloak slung over their shoulders. Some of them did so without a word or a glance at their parents; but there were those who greeted them with "Hello dad, hello mum," and sometimes one would add, "Why am I here?" Then their parents would have to explain and tell them they were to create a UFO of their own. I once asked about their education and was told that was being taken care of. There was no dearth of learned people in the UFO world, but much was done through educational TV programs. These were also used to enable UFO people from another age to catch up. The elimination of the helpless, naked "baby" stage, attractive though it might be, was actually a great step forward in human development. There was another good reason why the new UFO adults usually walked so quickly away from their parents: the young man would notice a beautiful young girl standing shyly by, just waiting for him to bear her off to their new life and their new home. Every time a boy was born, a girl appeared nearby and a new star rose into the sky - their UFO. It was a triumph of love to be celebrated in music, dance and song. The Little Sun and its Activities With ten UFOs up and working, I wondered whether
this was our full quota. But then I heard somebody insistently
singing in chorus and their song was "Twenty Men From Dublin Town,"
an Irish revolutionary song as it happened, but that was not why
they were singing it. They were trying to convey to me that there
were still ten potential UFO people waiting as it were "in the
wings". Night after night they moved hither and thither, stopping
here and there, sometimes changing places. I detected three new UFOs
when in early May they all moved to different positions in the sky.
Some were in the southwest; the newer ones still not far from the
dark area. The rest were ranged in the south-east and in the
north-eastern sky, with one in the north-west. But several were
missing. Then, late on May 21, all converged to the
south-west where the new ones were. That left the sky clear of UFOs
except to the right of the dark area, where they were still
apparently coming and going. We all waited to see what would happen
next. In the early hours of June 7, a new star appeared
in the east, shining steadily without twinkling, very bright. It
didn't move and was there again as soon as darkness fell the next
day. We knew this star now: it was the one that had first appeared
over the harbour in our old home-town - one we thought we had
recognized from time to time ever since. Now it seemed to be a
fixture and shone so steadily that we nicknamed it the Little Sun. But what sort of a star was this that had always
seemed to be hovering around for so long? All true stars as well as
all planets appear to move across the sky. This one, we could now
confirm, was fixed in one place, at least for the time being. Was it
a UFO? We could see no people inside, nor did anybody from that star
try to contact us. Unlike the other large UFO stars, it made no
sound. It was just quietly there, and we wondered why. The following evening, one of the other UFO stars
- a large one - began to flash. There being more than one occupant,
I gathered that some kind of a dispute was going on. It was: a horse
that didn't belong there was trying to get in. On the horse,
invisible to us most of the time, was the mother of one of the
occupants, who had apparently taken the risk of inviting her along.
But she was not a UFO person and had to be rejected. Such incidents were bound to arise from time to
time. It is hard for a man to have to cut his mother off, but these
were UFO men, not Earth men, and it had to be done. This prompted me to wonder whether the Little
Sun, as we called it, was in any way involved. It continued to watch
over the UFOs - or so I thought. I decided to monitor it carefully
and to try to observe any possible connection. I soon found it was
certainly involved with the occupants of the UFOs and seemed to have
two functions. One was to direct its rays towards a UFO whose light
had begun to fade or become dim. In the same way it seemed to be
involved with new UFOs just emerging from over Imp's Woods. Being
new, they too were often in need of extra energy. The other function of the Little Sun was, it
seemed, as a director. This was difficult to detect, but certainly
it had apparently shooed all the UFOs back into the south-west near
the dark area before its presence became obvious in the early hours
of June 7; for it was only afterwards that I observed that it was
often invisible for a time, especially when it was giving energy to
whoever needed it. On such occasions it would appear, direct its
rays down to the recipient or recipients and so continue until it
flashed out. A few days later it would apparently re-energize itself
and carry on with its work. I watched then as it changed shape and,
sure enough, all the UFOs then followed suit. There was no way of
telling what the object of such adjustments might have been, but at
least an important function of the Little Sun became clear: it was
there at all times to act as a pattern to the UFO men. To recapitulate: it was always present when a new UFO was emerging
over Imp's Woods, giving energy to the new candidate until his tiny
light became visible. At the same time, it was there as a pattern
for the newcomer to follow. The incident with the horsewoman was an example
of a UFO man risking his life and that of his female partner to give
his mother energy. It so happened that most of the donated energy
ended up in the horse, it being a privilege shared by all UFO people
to keep pets. But his mother was sapping him and in so doing could
have caused him to give up all his energy and lose his UFO. The
Little Sun had stopped him in time. So we come to the identity of the Little Sun. It
was not a star or a planet, for it was often present below the
clouds - a property normally seen only in UFOs. Yet it did not meet
the criteria for UFOs. I began to ask around and some mentioned the
mysterious Star of Bethlehem, while others said that in times of
stress or prior to some momentous event, such a star had been seen
taking up a position in the sky for days on end. As to its
identity, .some called it "the comforter" and others told me that
the Great Spirit, who was watching over the world at all times, was
present in it. Sometimes, they said, it was connected with creation
or procreation. That seemed to be the most likely explanation,
for the Great Spirit is multiple and can be in many places at the
same time. The crisis over, the UFOs began to move about
again, but the Little Sun remained, indicating that something else
was about to happen. Two Visitors and a New UFO Leader This was
1974, the Year of the Streakers, meaning that there was a craze -
particularly among students of the male sex - to fling off all
sartorial trappings and "run for it". Some had been arrested, but
with the warmer weather and the impulse of spring, more and more
young men were joining in the fun. Some of the UFO people, seeing
what was going on in cities and towns, on university campuses and in
sports stadiums across the land - even in public parks - suggested
that they, too, should become streakers. No sooner said than done,
as the saying goes, and one or two, much to the amusement of the
others, immediately began to lose their clothes. Kilts were flying,
shirts disappearing and buttons everywhere unbuttoning themselves.
All joined in the fun for a while, while their women rocked with
laughter. But like all crazes, this one too gradually died down. It all caused a great deal of hilarity and the
UFOs emerged brighter than ever. One of them, famous among all for
its vigorous twinkling, began to emit rays of all the colours of the
rainbow. We watched the beautiful display in wonder and amazement. Throughout all the fun and games, the Little Sun
shone steadily and silently on, as if enjoying the show as much as
any of us, but only as a spectator. Now every evening at dusk the UFOs would rise
into the sky with a roar even louder than before. They were now
following a new routine, sinking into the woods before midnight,
leaving only the Little Sun on duty. If anything went wrong, it
would take off at high speed to investigate, as we were to discover
later. Then something completely unexpected happened.
The first UFO that had come to us, the one with the golden glow, had
until now remained the largest and strongest, often with several
people aboard. Next in size and strength came the big twinkler, the
one now producing the rainbow colours. Now, as July approached, I
noticed that the larger of these two was no longer appearing in the
sky. I wondered if it was lurking in the woods, for occasional
flashes darted up under the dark patch and sometimes seemed to move
to the west, behind our house. It was on July 2, with all the other UFOs up as
usual, that one of their men surreptitiously slipped into the house
as we were going in and out with our gardening tools. I soon
recognized him as the one from the missing UFO. He had already
visited us as an "invisible man," so he was familiar with the place,
which was why he was able to elude us at first. His UFO may still
have been in the sky all the time, for when a man leaves, as long as
there are others present to carry on, the UFO remains but loses some
of its energy and is reduced in size as well as altered in
appearance. This is hard to observe in one UFO among many; if his
UFO was still rising every night, I certainly didn't recognize it. Meanwhile, the twinkler with the multicoloured
lights remained the largest UFO in the sky. Three days later, torrential rains started and
for five more days it was impossible to see any UFOs, though the
Little Sun shone steadily on, confirming what I was by now
suspecting: it was nearer to us than any of the true UFOs and below
the clouds. Meanwhile, I had a house-guest to cope with, much
as I had done on the earlier occasion. Often he was entirely
visible, for he was moving about and following me wherever I went as
I busied myself in house and garden. This time he was no longer clad
in a nightshirt, but wore belted military-style attire. I noticed he
had put on some weight since last time, and the bell he was wearing
accentuated this. But when we went to the Post Office together to
fetch the mail, not to draw attention to himself he changed into an
ordinary brown suit. He laughed when I suggested he needed
better-fitting suits and said, "I am soon to lose my fatness." That
was why he had come. So I allowed him to sleep in our guest room. Meanwhile we had a lot of fun, not only in
conversation, for he had a ready wit, but because he could so easily
become invisible just by keeping still. Sometimes he would hide
under a table or under his bed, and then a hand or a foot - in green
socks - would suddenly appear as if from nowhere, The rest of him
usually followed, often sooner than even he himself expected, for he
found it difficult to control his laughter and was shaking so much
that he would become visible. Then off he would run in search of
another hiding-place. On July 8, three days after the rains began,
another guest sneaked into the house, apparently taking advantage of
a door left open - the occupant of the multi-coloured twinkler.
Aided by his friend, he soon found his way around and, of course,
hid for a time. But when at length I caught sight of him, I noticed
that he was as skinny as the other was fat. They were a hilarious
pair! There was much chasing around as they both tried to hide and
then surprise me. The newcomer was very excited about something but
wouldn't say what. Once I discovered him fully-clothed in the bath.
He was over six feet tall, and I thought perhaps he was trying it
out in advance. He was, if anything, even more witty than his
friend, and was all that I might have expected of a man whose UFO
never stopped twinkling. For this reason, he was more often visible
than his friend, and I saw that he was wearing a dark suit and
orange socks. They remained with us until the 11th, sharing the
guest room, which conveniently had two single beds, and the upstairs
bathroom. Although they could have turned the water on themselves,
they asked me to do it, saying it was safer. One day after I had, as
usual, left them in there to their ablutions, they emerged both
having completely changed. The skinny one was now quite plump -
though not so fat as his friend had been - and the fat one had, as
he put it, "lost his fatness". Both seemed well satisfied with their
altered appearance, but I was wondering what had happened and why. "I gave him my fatness," said the formerly fat
one. And then they explained; UFO men have no use for most of the
abdominal organs, but the bladder is still present and is used to
store energy. What had happened in the bathroom was that, aided by
the presence of water, one had transferred his energy to the other.
There was a reason for this. Up to now, the golden UFO had been
largest and strongest, so it had been acting as leader. But it was
apt to become unstable, and so had always to carry stored energy.
That was what I'd once seen the man inside sorting out; a great,
shining mass at his feet, which he always had to have available in
case of sudden loss. The multi-coloured twinkler suffered from no
such disadvantages: not only was it not losing energy, it was
actually producing it. So, from now on, this was to be the leading
UFO. The new leader stayed on as a house-guest a
little longer than his friend and left with many sad good-byes on
the I Ith. The next day, his UFO was up again and twinkling happily,
for he was now re-united with his girl. But all its colours were
gone and instead his UFO was brilliantly white, while another,
smaller UFO had taken on all the colours. This meant that there had
formerly been two couples in that UFO; the second one now had his
own independent UFO and it, therefore, was producing the colours. That night was warm and clear, with all the other
UFOs in the sky, together with the Little Sun, which was hanging as
usual in the cast. Sometime after dark, however, it suddenly took
off at high speed toward the dark patch over Imp's Woods, dipping
low in the sky and hedge-hopping over the cow-pastures. What did this mean? Only one thing, I imagined:
problems with the golden UFO, which had never risen again since the
transfer of energy. By July 17, most of the UFOs had taken off again
and only four were left, so I was not surprised to read, the next
day, reports in the newspapers about sightings elsewhere in the
province. As the month drew to an end, a spectacular
display was put on one night by the UFOs. The Little Sun, in the
east, moved down a little, and the white twinkler, now larger than
any of the other UFOs, rose scintillating nearby, then, emitting a
sudden shower of tiny starlets, began to move round towards the
south, scattering more starlets on the way. I exclaimed in delight
and, as if in acknowledgment, it flicked all its lights off and on
again; and so it moved on, shining more steadily now. As it
approached the south, I noticed another UFO was twinkling there, the
one with all the colours, radiating blue, green and gold, while
three tiny lights arranged vertically to its right and another to
its left, near the dark patch, flicked off and on in turn, their
colours continually changing. All the UFOs were celebrating the
choice of a new leader that night, while the Little Sun, the
brightest object in the sky, looked on benignly and continued to
sink towards the eastern horizon. Only when it was gone, which was
far into the night, was the display over. Time for a new day to start; and when it did,
only the bright twinkler remained. So it continued until the last
day of the month, when the Little Sun was back in its usual place. It had been a wonderful month. After all the UFO activity in July, August, 1974
was a comparatively quiet month. It opened with only one UFO
visible, the bright twinkler. Starting over Harriston Woods in the
west it moved, flashing and twinkling across the southern sky, over
Imp's Woods and toward the Little Sun in the east. Once or twice
after that, we spotted one or two other UFOs, and I sensed a
problem. By the 10th I knew what it was: the multicoloured UFO had
lost most of its energy. On that night, its accompanying coloured
lights re-appeared, but no UFO. Obviously it was there, but unlit.
Several other UFOs appeared, including the bright twinkler, which
this time moved away from the Little Sun in the east and then back
to Harriston Woods, where it began to descend and after some time,
landed there among the trees. Obviously something must now be happening in
those woods as well as in or over Imp's Woods, but there was no dark
area in that part of the sky. Once again I was perplexed. Night by night the UFOs began to return,
including, tentatively at first, the multicoloured star, until on
the 15th they put on another full display as they had done in July. A visitor who had expressed doubts about the
existence of UFOs changed his mind after seeing that! On August 21 I was out on our upstairs balcony
when a UFO took off from the west and whizzed eastwards right over
us. This was the UFO we'd nicknamed "Streaker" because of the way it
so often whizzed across the sky. This was the first time it had
flown so high, though. Towards the end of the month, thunder-storms and
fog prevented observation on most nights, but when the clouds
parted, the multicoloured UFO, which had increased in size and
strength, was still in action. September brought even less UFO activity than we
had seen in August. The colour displays again ceased for a while,
returning only on the 8th, though to be fair there may have been
much more UFO activity behind the clouds and fog that tended to
obscure everything during the latter part of the month. Then, on October 1, a new UFO was created over
Imp's Woods. It was a long time since we'd had an addition to our
UFO "family". We now had about 16 of them coming and going, but they
were seldom present all at the same lime. I was happy to see the
golden UFO back after a long absence: that meant it was strong
again, although no longer in the lead of course. Halfway through the month, silence descended on
us: the humming of the UFOs was barely audible and for three days
there was no great roar in the early evening, when they all zoomed
up into the sky. True, a few remained, along with the Little Sun, to
keep watch. We had experienced this before from time to time: it
meant that the UFO people were in conference. At such times they
would all tune into the same vibrations and land in some secret
place, outside lights switched off. Perhaps the activity I had
noticed over Harriston Woods of late was an indication that they had
been searching there for a suitable venue. The conference over, the Little Sun, which had
moved to the west, no longer stayed in the sky all night, and UFOs
began to move around as if looking for new possible locations. The
bright twinkler took up a new position in the north-east, taking the
place of a smaller UFO that had moved away. On October 24 there was more activity than there had been for a long
time. The Little Sun appeared in the east and quickly moved round
into the western sky, where it dropped into the woods halfway
between Imp's Woods and Harriston Woods, i.e. in the south-west. It
had never gone down there before. Again all the UFOs were moving
around. On October 27, the bright twinkler rose in the south-east,
but the following night it rose twice, first in the west, on the
edge of Harriston Woods, and then in the southeast, over the woods
on the far side of our village. These we called Glengarry Woods
because that was the name of the side-road leading to them. All this new activity had obviously been planned
at the conference, but so far its significance eluded me. At last some UFO excitement: on November 2, the
bright twinkler rose from the edge of Harriston Woods in the west,
and then it happened: a telephone call from the neighbours across
the way, and out we rushed to view what they had seen: "A UFO racing
across the sky from west to east". We were just in time to see and
identify the bright twinkler before it started to slow down below
the Little Sun which was in the cast but lower in the sky than
usual. As the twinkler moved on, the Little Sun begun to move in the
opposite direction and next time I looked, it had apparently flashed
out. I noticed then that the twinkler was much brighter than usual,
and certainly brighter than it had been earlier in the evening. What
had happened was that when it passed below the Little Sun, it had
been given extra energy. Us task for that night over, the Little Sun
had withdrawn. The bright twinkler continued on its way round the
sky, first to the north-east where it paused; then to the west where
it dropped into Harriston Woods as before. Next evening, the entire sequence was repeated -
but this time the neighbours didn't contact us: they had decided
that the UFO was an artificial satellite. The night of November 13 was warm and clear, a
good night for UFO watching. At first I could see only the Little
Sun, although the constellations and the galaxy in Andromeda were
clearly visible. Then an the Little Sun moved from the cast towards
Imp's Woods in the south, the bright twinkler suddenly appeared just
above it and directly below Andromeda. Within minutes, the Little
Sun, still above the horizon, flashed out while the UFO twinkled on.
Once again a transfer of energy had taken place, but this time the
twinkler actually lost brilliance. The only possible explanation was
that in travelling around, the twinkler had been collecting energy,
which it had to give up after the Little Sun had withdrawn. But for
what reason or where it went I could not discover. Meanwhile, as more and more UFOs came back, the
neighbours were amazed at the number of "satellites" whizzing
around, and speculated on some connection with the military!
However, the papers continued to report them from time to time as
UFOs pure and simple. Now it was winter again and we had snow storms to
obscure things on some nights. Every now and again, however, we
would catch a glimpse of the UFOs still at work, the bright twinkler
still collecting, and passing on energy. In the end we concluded
that it might be garbage he was collecting from other UFOs, a
possibility that had been discussed earlier. The only clue was that
it always gave up the energy below the Andromeda galaxy -the
antimatter galaxy. Clearly the plan was working. In December, the UFOs began to re-arrange
themselves all around the sky except in the north. The weaker ones
that had been hovering around Imp's Woods now dispersed. Once again
the neighbours were interested: they wondered if a "Christmas Star"
would appear as it had done last year. But it was snowing on
Christmas Eve and throughout that night, and all activities were
obscured. On December 26, Boxing Day, the bright twinkler
appeared, as it had been doing recently, high above Imp's Woods,
over the black patch. The twinkling light proceeded westwards and to
Harriston Woods in the northwest where it sank. That was the nearest
we came in 1974 to a "Christmas Star". Other people were more
fortunate and the media report of "Christmas Stars" seen in various
places aroused public interest. More changes in the activities of the bright
twinkler occurred on the 28th. It had taken up its position in the
south-east and driving out to visit some friends, we passed right
beneath it. We forgot to check our watches for aberrations in time,
which we had noted on some earlier occasions when UFOs had passed
over our house. It had moved on a little by the time we returned
home. When we were about to go to bed, I noticed that the UFO was
not continuing to Harriston Woods, but instead was sinking into
Imp's Woods. On the 30th, I observed the bright twinkler and
the Little Sun side-by-side and noted differences. The Little Sun,
shining steadily, had a much larger central light. In both cases,
more rays were being directed towards the left, the UFO as usual
copying the Little Sun. The following night there was a slight change:
the majority of the rays no longer pointed downwards, but were
horizontal. On both nights, they remained stationary for as long as
I was able to watch. Later, on the 31st, they were pointing in the
opposite direction, to the right - the direction in which the Little
Sun then quickly started to move, from the east and round to Imp's
Woods. The bright twinkler followed. It was by that time 8 p.m. At
9:10 p.m. the Little Sun faded out. At the end of 1974, 25 UFOs were in the sky
somewhere. We had already exceeded the "twenty men" and, although
there had been a bit of a lull towards the end of the year, I was
sure there were more to come. Experience had taught me that UFOs are
like the snow: any still hanging around must be waiting for more.
The Extraordinary Month of
January, 1975. January started quietly for us. A snow-storm
blotting out all UFO activity. But despite snow, fog and even rain,
this proved to be a spectacular month for UFO-watching. Up to the
I2th, every other night was clear, and thereafter only five nights
were cloudy or foggy. On the 6th the Little Sun and several UFOs were
as usual in the sky, but I noticed a certain dimness about the
usually bright twinkler. Being concerned about this apparent
weakening of our brightest UFO, I went back to look at the sky again
at 9:30 p.m., and as I did so, a faint outline of a man's aura
appeared above the ailing UFO, hovering over it protectively. It
was, of course, the aura of the man inside. The UFO gradually became brighter as the aura
faded. Apparently what I had seen was a repair job in progress. It
was a lovely, clear night on the 17th with many UFOs in the sky,
some moving around. My eyes were on the bright twinkler; it was on
the move from its place in the east and emitting tiny flashes. The
Little Sun, which had been coming and going in that part of the sky
until the previous night, was nowhere to be seen. At 10:15 the
twinkling stopped and I could see the little figure inside was
prone, but beginning to rise on hands and knees. A helicopter flew
past and I wondered if it had been sent to look for UFOs. It didn't
return, so perhaps there was no connection. By 10:30, all the light
in the UFO seemed to have concentrated in the little figure inside,
who now rose and soon stood erect. I could see him sorting out
shining strands, waving his arms; then, arms akimbo, he began to
shimmer until he was enveloped in a swirl of light. I was
fascinated; it had all been wonderful to look upon. But more was to
come: next, he bent over towards the east, from where he had come,
drew his knees up and then went right out of his UFO, eastwards at
first, but circling back to disappear into Glengarry Woods in the
south-east. His UFO, still leaning towards the east, was now a dull
yellow light and very still. At 11:35, the UFO began to recover and assume its
normal appearance. I didn't see the tiny figure return, but he was
obviously back, for the UFO soon came to life again and began to
twinkle. Then it moved on towards Imp's Woods as if nothing had
happened. Two days later, the same sequence of events
started to unfold in the sky, until the little figure was in the
upright position. Then the entire UFO dropped, apparently into
Glengarry Woods again. Evidently he had been practising landing and
had decided it was better for him to land still in his UFO rather
than to try to jump out!
That night there was a beautiful, red-gold sunset
and in it the UFOs were already appearing. It was only 6 p.m., at
least an hour earlier than usual, and first to arrive was the golden
UFO, far above Imp's Woods, shining steadily but twinkling a little.
Above it and a little to the right, part of the aura of the man
inside was visible, as if holding the UFO in his hands. A neighbour
from the other side of the village, knowing of our interest in UFOs,
drove over to share the spectacle with us. Then, even higher in the
sky, directly above the shimmering, golden UFO, the Little Sun
appeared and within half an hour both were moving eastwards and
slowly sinking. By this time, the Little Sun had changed its shape:
two parallel horizontal bands and rays directed upwards. It looked
like a beautiful crown. The golden UFO below soon assumed the same
perfect shape. Then, as I scanned the sky for other UFOs, I saw that
not only were many present, but all had altered their shape so that
sparkling crowns spangled the sky. Then, as we all watched in amazement, the two
main performers in this spectacle began slowly to sink towards the
south-eastern horizon - towards Glengarry Woods in fact, where the
man from the bright twinkler had apparently been on a scouting
mission a few days earlier. It took the Golden UFO nearly two hours
to come down, but the Little Sun remained in the sky above, where it
adjusted its shape and brought all the other UFOs back to normal. This was the first time the golden UFO had
appeared since mid - 1974, when the bright twinkler replaced it as
leader. It was not in the sky on the following night, but on the
23rd it was back again and, together with the other UFOs, put on
another splendid display. Both the Little Sun and all the other UFOs
were again changing shape, apparently dividing horizontally between
the two bands, which began to curl away from each other. Ten minutes
after the display came to an end, the bright twinkler rose at 7:30
p.m. It had already altered its shape to match all the others, and
again like them, turned to the east, extending long rays in that
direction. It then remained in the eastern sky. There it stayed,
twinkling above the roof-tops.
On the 24th, the Little Sun and many UFOs were
active and again changing shape. Once again, the bright twinkler was
the last to rise and take its place in the east; but by some
omission it had not changed to match the others this time. Obviously
this had to be rectified, and a tiny speck of a UFO then rose out
of Imp's Woods to do so, twinkling as it moved eastward towards the
errant twinkler. It had obediently adopted the new shape and now
passed over the larger UFO, in which I now observed that the man was
lying down as if asleep, feet towards Imp's Woods, where the Little
Sun still hung, watching over all. As the small UFO passed over the
bright twinkler, up went the little man's feet, while the flat bench
on which he had been reclining began to heave in the middle. With
that, the bright twinkler took on the same shape as all the other
UFOs. At the end, evidently satisfied, the Little Sun withdrew and
I then saw the twinkler moving to the south-east, its rays still
directed eastwards as required. I last saw it hovering there before
clouds obscured all. Every night now the Little Sun was appearing in
the south-east, moving to the west and flashing out at 8 p.m. After
the rising of the Little Sun, at about 6:30, the bright twinkler
followed and about halfway between it and Imp's Woods, once again
over Glengarry Woods, a tiny UFO would appear, preceding the bright
twinkler. As the tiny UFO moved towards Imp's Woods, the bright
twinkler followed until it reached the spot over Glengarry Woods
where the smaller one had emerged. There the twinkler always came to
a standstill. We were not sure whether it was the same tiny UFO
every night, but whether it was one or many we dubbed them the
"guide UFOs". On the 26th, it was just like any other night, with the tiny "guide"
apparently leading the twinkler to exactly the right spot. As usual,
all the UFOs had adjusted their shape to agree with that suggested
by the Little Sun. Then the twinkler began to change - not in
overall shape: it was still radiating towards the east from where it
had come. But on the opposite side of the UFO, its light began to
concentrate, with fewer rays. The entire UFO then up-ended itself
and spat out a tiny, bright object towards the east, which sped
quickly earthwards. The UFO became dimmer as a result, but still
continued to send smaller objects hurtling down, losing yet more of
its radiance and by then beginning to shrink. At 10:15 p.m. only a
tiny speck was left which finally disappeared.
We tried to interpret what we had seen: at worst
it was the complete disintegration of our most brilliant UFO; but it
could have been the descent into Glengarry Woods of its occupant,
followed by all his belongings - and presumably, his female partner. There was more to come on January 27. Another UFO
came forward and went through all that the bright twinkler had
performed on the I7th, in the same part of the sky: The little
figure inside rose, stood erect, gathered up the bright strands and
then, with arms akimbo, began to shimmer. But from that time on,
there was a divergence caused by the Little Sun, the only other
lig |
One problem was that it so happened that Newton
confined his studies to what was strictly physical and material.
Moreover, those who followed, even after the invention of modern
telescopes, tended to apply existing laws to what they observed in
the farthest reaches of the Universe, outside our space and time.
They categorically stated that it was impossible to exceed the speed
of light. It was Albert Einstein, born in 1879, who finally
disproved this: all speeds above that of light are vibratory.
Very
little research had been done in these matters when suddenly, in
1947, for the first time a number of unidentifiable objects were
spotted flying erratically through the sky, often at very high
speeds, twisting and turning unlike any known aircraft and plainly
disobeying the laws of physics. Because they often appeared to be like two saucers clapped together, they
were at first called "flying saucers". Later the term "unidentified
flying objects" was applied, UFOs for short. The original meaning of
this term has become somewhat blurred, and we now commonly speak of
being able to identify a UFO as such.
Not long after that, I noticed a very bright
evening star over the harbour on the South Shore of Nova Scotia,
where we lived. I took little notice of it at the time, for we were
busy preparing to move. But during that time other things appeared
in my kitchen as if from nowhere, though I didn't witness their
arrival. Often it was an item of food or clothing -small things like
a belt, a comb or a pair of gloves; and sometimes it was money.
While he was there, the man in the UFO spoke to
me. This was possible because of another strange thing that had
happened a few months earlier. It was another cornucopia. I was,
as on the first occasion, sitting at the table when I noticed
something bright just above floor level on my right-hand side. This
time the cornucopia was empty but for shimmering, circling
rainbow-coloured lights, all very tiny and constantly forming and
dissolving a kaleidoscope of changing patterns. I had a pencil and
pad handy and began to make a sketch of what had appeared, moving my
pencil in a counter-clockwise direction to record the elliptical
shape of the open end. All this happened in a split second, and at
once the cornucopia vanished, but I now had a clear message that my
right hand had been "strengthened". By co-incidence, moving my
pencil in the same counterclockwise direction as the swirling lights
in the cornucopia, I had picked up a thought. What I had seen was a
thought or thoughts directed towards me, ready to be picked up and
conveyed to my brain by my right hand. It didn't lake me long to
calculate that they had emerged from their source traveling in a
clockwise spiral.
After a while, it occurred to me that nature is
full of such spirals: they appear in a snail's shell, for instance,
and on a much smaller scale are the DNA spirals that carry genetic
information from generation to generation, while on the largest
scale of all we see the spiral galaxies. The question arises, did
all these spirals that occur throughout the universe originate as
thoughts, ideas, in the mind of the Creator?
When the UFO appeared near Imp's Woods, the man
inside was therefore able to communicate with me and give me his
name.
On
some nights, the aura remained visible - or partly visible - after
the UFO had apparently gone. This meant that the UFO was still
present, but had "switched off" its lights. On one such night, with
only the aura visible, yet another new UFO appeared.
Socially,
they were interesting and amusing people. One, who was otherwise a
well-dressed and dignified man, insisted on coming to breakfast in
his nightshirt which he called his "robe". It certainly was not that:
it was while like any other nightshirt and he had nothing on
underneath, which he declared was an advantage. Because of it, he
came in for a great deal of teasing, all of which he took in good
part. I mentioned breakfast, but in fact UFO people do not need to
eat. He used to sit with us but did not actually take part in the
