Sometimes life surprises us with unexpected developments. Many of you have
known me as a humble researcher who studied the crop circle phenomenon. I have
always taken a great interest in ufology, but I have never studied it in detail, and I
could never be considered an expert. But thanks to the crop circles I got to know
many people who study ufology, both in Italy and abroad. Maybe it was because of
my activity in the field of mystery, and because of my knowledge of the UFO
environment that some events with unpredictable aspects happened to me.

In October 2008 a person got in touch with me who, having learned that I was
interested in crop circles, wanted to make my acquaintance. I went to meet him, we
talked for more than an hour and then this person asked me if I could help him
divulge a very important story in an objective way. This person could not, for some
reasons, come out in the open himself, thus he needed an intermediary. I answered I
would be glad to do what I could and we agreed to meet again after a couple of
months. Indeed we did meet in January 2009 and he told me he was one of the
people directly involved in the so-called “Friendship” for a long part of his life. Once I got back home I checked the veracity of this story with some experts who confirmed that, as far as they could tell, it was true. At that point I had enough elements to take the story the person told me seriously, and, since I also was positively impressed by this person, I decided to help divulge this fascinating and important story.

I am perfectly aware of the fact that I am risking the reputation I built up in years of
work, but I'm doing it gladly. Sometimes you have to trust a person when you feel
they deserve it.

The following text has been given to me by the person who asked me to be his
intermediary. He also asked me to respect his wish to remain anonymous for now,
and to assure him that the text would not be inserted into a frame which would
change its meaning, thus following the golden rule of good journalism. I accepted
these two requests, and I will send the text to interested editors without any further
comment.

Enjoy your reading, and if this seems an interesting testimony to you, please spread
the word.

The story of “Friendship” -or simply “the story”, as we always called it- is a true one. It involved a group of Italian and non-Italian people for many years, between 1956 and 1990. Some of these people, including myself, are still alive. We had direct, face-toface meetings with the Friends (also called W56), who are extraterrestrials coming both from planets in our own Galaxy (at a distance of one hundred thousand light
years) and from other Galaxies. Here on the Earth they reached the maximum
number of two hundred, living inside underground and undersea bases, some of
them along the Adriatic coast, at a depth of about 20 km/12 miles. The first,
“historical” base was located under the area of Ascoli Piceno, a small town in central
Italy.

Now, I shall briefly refer things that derive exclusively from what I was involved in
personally, during an extensive part of my life, and from our direct conversations with
the Friends. I have viva voce recordings of these, with the Friends’ own voices.
“Friendship” gathers together various extraterrestrial populations that are different
from each other, both as regards physical characteristics (there are tall, small and
giant Friends, etc.) and provenance (there are Friends from other Universes and
dimensions). However, all of them share a fundamental choice towards Good.
“Friendship” is a sort of transversal confederation on the basis of a common ideal of
life and thought, though great diversifications remain between populations and
individuals and between personal choices. This is the very opposite of ideological
standardization.

The population whom we personally interacted with is composed of individuals (men
and women, like us) who are physically very beautiful, some about three meters (ten
feet) tall, while others are tiny. However, these are secondary aspects only. What is
important is what they represent, beyond the various typologies and endless
“folkloristic” singularities.

The Friends are our elder brothers. They are human. Indeed, in comparison it’s we
terrestrials who are less than human. They are much more human than we are, and
that is why they do not show themselves. They are “too” human… For us it is easy to
flatter them, but envying them is even easier, due to their perfect humaneness…
Other populations in the Universes have chosen Evil, which is often represented by
the adoration of Energy and Knowledge-Science. This dualism between Good and
Evil is fundamental in order to understand both the still ongoing Struggle and why it is
so hard for truth to be disclosed to the inhabitants of our planet.
The Struggle between Good and Evil has always existed and is real, not an invention
or a stage effect. (The wicked are not the result of a failed scientific experiment, but
can freely choose to change and follow Good).

This Struggle between Good and Evil also entered the life of the terrestrials in our
group, and transformed them into “particular” beings.

We had various types of experiences, both mental and moral and phenomenal (faceto-
face encounters with some of the Friends, conversations with them, sightings of
saucers and other flying objects with different shapes, very close sightings of
materializations and dematerializations, visits and even long stays inside the
underground bases, etc.). These marked our personal lives deeply and indelibly and
caused us to become particularly vulnerable to the laws, regulations and conventions
of our own reality and society where we continued to live and work -with the
exception of a few of us who chose to spend the rest of their lives together with the
Friends. What we experienced with the Friends goes beyond any imagination. As a
consequence, absolute silence with other people has been the most normal reaction
from us, together with our continuous thinking about our experiences over the
decades. It was, and still is, a kind of “mental mulling” and constantly growing
awareness of what happened, together with the realization that it cannot easily be
put into words. Some of us paid a very high price for our being “singled out”, and
abandoned established work and social life patterns.

Some of us kept it a total or almost total secret, only opening up to a very few people.
Others told the “story”, but gave a partial or modified version of it on purpose. Why?
There are many reasons and they are complex because there are things one just
cannot say even when one has decided to speak out. Furthermore, much of the
information has been heavily distorted, trivialized, manipulated and interpreted in
arbitrary ways. There has also been contradictory information given, so that a thing
has been said and immediately afterwards contradicted -thus generating doubts and,
in the end, incredulity on the part of the readers or listeners. This has also touched
the fundamental aspects and reasons for the Friends’ presence among us, and that
is why it is now necessary to intervene, rectifying and above all giving the essential
points that have not yet been told and denouncing where the opposite has been
claimed.

The point is that this “story” and its implications are very complex, where ambiguity,
voluntary or involuntary disinformation and a mixture of true and false play a highly
important role. Inserting just one obviously unreliable element -for instance,
something self-contradictory or ridiculous- into a story which is true makes the whole
thing look unreliable (which may indeed well be the conscious or unconscious aim of
the person who relates the story). This is not accidental, and does not solely depend
upon the “bad intention” of the person who writes or speaks out or “reveals” or
pretends to be a protagonist while he/she merely has second or third-hand
knowledge of the subject. On the contrary, this is the consequence of one of the laws
that regulate the hidden presence of the Friends on Earth. And this is how it has
always been, in the past as well as now. The presence of the Friends among us is
subordinated to certain laws that depend on factors that are hard to explain in words
for they belong to the subtle levels -that is, the non-physical levels of reality. Among
these there is the law of ambiguity, duplicity and deception since this characterizes
the condition of terrestrial humans. Thus, all these “negative” elements are not
secondary, but are a crucial part of the rules of the game, and can come into play at
any moment, including the moment when an attempt towards disclosure is being
made -such as at this present moment.

The Friends are not the only extraterrestrials who have come to the Earth. Individuals
from various other populations are among us, because the Earth is a very particular
planet inside the economy of this part of the Universe. The aim of the Friends’
presence is not to study us (they know us quite well, better than we do ourselves!),
but to help us. In fact, the Friends are unhappy about the very high level of hate,
violence and injustice on the Earth, and about the anti-humanistic trend of our
science and technology. Being able to see our thoughts and feelings, the Friends see
what we hide behind our masks, words and smiles…

Other populations are here for other reasons, and the abduction by extraterrestrials
of terrestrials, as well as the creation of hybrids, is a reality which the Friends told us about as far back as the ’60s. I mention this because today there is talk in the media about it, and I remember what the Friends said so many years ago. However, I know nothing about many of the other things I hear about, and I have no opinion to give,
because the Friends did not mention them. For instance, I know nothing about the
crop circles. The Friends told us a lot and yet they told us only a very small part of
what they knew, including what they knew about the activities of other populations
among us. Actually, I find it hard enough to understand and “digest” the events I saw
and those the Friends spoke about, let alone all the rest they could have told us…
However, I believe they gave me the essentials in order to understand and orient
myself, things that are true and not just “information”.

I say that these things are true because I had a personal relationship with the Friends
and had the strong feeling that they were telling me the truth -such as when you feel
that your best friend or your lover is telling you the truth. This has been the luck in my life: thanks to that personal relationship, I was and am able to trust, in a field where trusting is quite difficult. Today, so-called “objective” evidence (pictures, etc.) can be altered or created by means of technology, so the factor of personal reliable witness is even more important than in the past.

Compared with all the other populations visiting the Earth, the Friends have a quite
peculiar and precious characteristic to offer us: they have a very special and close
connection with the subtle levels that regulate the destiny of the Earth and with what
they call the Soul of the Universe, beyond the physical or phenomenal level. Thus,
the Friends have a sort of general control over everything that occurs, but they are
only allowed to intervene under particular conditions. Everything happens as in an
extremely elaborate chess game, with rules that I cannot even touch upon here.
The Friends refer to themselves not as belonging to the world of the Spirit, but as
those who <>. They also say they are the
<>. In other words, they place themselves as
intermediaries between us and the world of the Spirit.

Compared with the science and technology of the other extraterrestrial populations,
the Friends’ science and technology is quite different and singular, because it is
shaped upon the laws of the world of the Spirit. It is a science and technology that
has no connection at all with ours, including the most innovative aspects of our
quantum physics. Yet, the Friends also have another -and more “usual”- science and
technology, which they tried partially to share with us, especially in the field of
electromagnetism. But this aroused feelings of avidity, possession, competition and
omnipotence in us, so the Friends retired from this sharing project.

The Friends have won a great war in the Universe against the Evil populations, but
the game on the Earth is still completely open. Both the minds of us terrestrials in the
group, forever linked to the Friends by an ancient pact, and the minds of the
terrestrials whom we address -as is happening now- are involved in this war. In fact,
this war also takes place in our most intimate spheres and on levels that we are
unaware of, which makes the whole matter very difficult and hard to express.
Rationality is essential, but it is not enough to explain phenomena, interactions and
consequences that are beyond all that society and knowledge-science have
accustomed and conditioned us to. Indeed, the rationality which is needed in order to
cope with this “story” and its implications is by far richer and more elaborate than the
rationality that our scientists normally use. It is also by far richer and more elaborate than the rationality which is involved in philosophical systems such as Buddhism with its cause-effect law. Indeed, the latter only represents one piece of an overall explanation that is enormously more complex and articulated.

The “teachings” of the Friends have not yet been divulged, but when they are they
will allow us to deal with this intricate conceptual and experiential muddle with a new
awareness.

TRASCENDENCE of what we also call “God” is at the very core of the teachings of
the Friends. This should not be confused with the Soul
of the Universe mentioned above. Here, we have the
very opposite of pantheism. For now, however, I am
obliged to stop here, though this is by far the most
important point and the main reason for the Friends’
presence among us, as they themselves told us.
The picture shown here was made with a Polaroid in the
’60s. It represents the fundamental aspect of the
relationship between our group and the Friends. The
picture reproduces the projection of a giant’s subtle
body. What is significant is the emphasis of the heart
area as the central part, which means that Love is the
most important thing for human beings, both terrestrial
and extraterrestrial. (I was not able to copy this picture - Aileen)

UREDDA -in one of the Friends’ languages- is the energy that is produced by the
Love between people, particularly between the Friends and our group, following a
pact between them and us and the many events that brought us together.
UREDDA is a kind of energy, but the Friends are not the worshipers of Energy, as
other populations are. The Friends follow Love, which is also the source of good
energies such as UREDDA, but is itself beyond any energy.

Thanks to special instruments that work on the subtle levels (there are tens of subtle
levels), the Friends transform UREDDA into other energies and objects, even the
oxygen they breathe in their underground and undersea bases. If UREDDA is
lacking, the Friends die for they have chosen to be vulnerable out of Love. Moreover,
the Friends chose to be dependent upon material help (food, mainly fruits and
vegetables) that we provided for them. This occurred by means of remote control
dematerializations, that I personally saw and was involved in so many times over the
years. We called them “the Friends’ pick-ups”. Even tons of food at a time were
dematerialized, at a distance of one meter (three feet) from our eyes and
immediately afterwards were rematerialized inside the Friends’ bases. In other
cases, using the same system the Friends would send us large or small objects, that
were materialized under our very eyes.

In order to be allowed to stay here with us, the Friends were obliged to accept the
law of Time and especially the law of Having that regulate the destiny of our planet.
If one ignores or does not fully understand THE FRIENDS’ VOLUNTARY LOVING
DEPENDENCE UPON THE LAW OF HAVING (upon our thoughts and actions in the
end), one cannot grasp the true meaning of the “story” as it occurred, and will not be
prepared if the “story” occurs again -perhaps even in a more widespread form.
Today, the new so-called “post-modern” paradigms of terrestrial knowledge, adding
to the paradoxes of quantum physics, open people’s minds to accept that reality may
not be what it appears to be, or not just what it appears to be. The idea that we may
be like children who are playing inside a room and are unaware of all the events that
are occurring around them, even unaware of all the other contents of the room itself,
except the toys, today may appear less absurd than it did in the past. However, the
true acceptation -not just at a playful or virtual level, but at a level of real awareness of an extraterrestrial world among us still represents a mind-blowing anthropological and cognitive revolution -much more so than the Copernican revolution.

Just as an example, in the past, hundreds of millions of years ago, on the Earth there were three civilizations, which were even more advanced than ours and which
disappeared, due to their own fault. This is also a threat to us today. The Friends,
who saw our self-destructive past with sorrow, don’t want it to be repeated again.
They are able to help us and do so, but they are obliged to operate within restrictions
and conditions that are imposed by the subtle levels of the Earth and of our Universe.
Incidentally, all of us completely ignore the existence of these restrictions and
conditions.

Such is the complexity of the variables involved, that the Friends never predicted
anything about “disclosure day”. I never heard them speak about 2012, that so many
people mention. Instead, they said they would come back again among us. Those
like myself (one of the very few of us still alive) made a special agreement with the
Friends, swearing a solemn oath of reciprocal allegiance which still binds us though
so many years have passed since then. But I do not know if and when they will be
back. Or, maybe, they are already back and are at work with other terrestrials in
some other part of the world. I do not know if they will contact me. I do not believe so.

I think that my only task -which incidentally, the Friends themselves told me a long
time ago- is to recount these things that I have now begun to tell Mr. Nikola Duper.
At the end of the ’40s, the Friends offered their collaboration to the head of the USA
Administration. In exchange, they asked that the nuclear weaponry program be given
up. But their offer and request were rejected, and other extraterrestrial populations
have been collaborating with the USA and other Powers. The results of this have
been highly negative, and still weigh heavily on our collective destiny. One of the
reasons -there are others- which delay disclosure is the fact that the USA
Administration should assume responsibility before the whole planet for having
refused a vital collaboration and for having activated another highly negative one,
exclusively for the sake of power and domination, lying to citizens and covering up
for decades.

Following the American politico-military refusal, the Friends undertook the strategy
consisting in confidential contacts with small groups of terrestrials, trying to
emphasize the quality of human personal relationships, the value of Love and
UREDDA, rather than quantity and visibility.

However, even these qualitative contacts failed to give the expected fruits, so today it
is necessary to start again. With the Friends, however, there is never a definitive
defeat, because their resources are quite extraordinary. When the Friends lose a
battle, the reason is that we lost it, and they have to lose it with us and pay with us
and for us, submitting to the laws of our subtle levels. In November 1978 our lack of
UREDDA towards the Friends caused the death of many of them, and their
momentary defeat by the enemy population called CTR -a defeat that the Friends
had predicted and considered a foregone event. However, the situation is still
reversible.

The adventure of the Friends with us is an extraordinary hidden drama, with
unforeseeable events -partially unforeseeable for the Friends too, due to the
incredible complexity of the variables involved and to the imponderability of free
choice. The Friends have an infinite respect for people’s free will.

Everyday, terrestrial collaborators of the Friends and terrestrial collaborators of
populations who are enemies of the Friends (and thus are our own enemies) silently
fight with each other. The enemies are trying to conquer our planet in a very gradual
and seemingly painless way, most of all working over our minds. Unfortunately, this
is not science-fiction. If only it were so! Unfortunately, this is not paranoia. If only it
were so!

However, just hinting at these subjects leads to the discrediting of the person who
says or writes them; and this is a powerful weapon in the hands of those who want to
harm us. Mental and social conditionings in this field are extremely strong. It is easy
to discredit anyone, whatever their social or cultural position, if one has strong
motivations to do so. If someone has had highly secret experiences, such as this with
the Friends, and then “strangely” obtained an important position within society and is
respected as a reliable person, they fear to be discredited, if they reveal their secret.

Moreover, they fear that speaking out will discredit the thing itself. They know that
those conditionings will be stronger anyway than their social or cultural position and
the esteem they have gained over a whole life time. So, they keep silent, while they
would desire to speak only the truth, without wanting anything for themselves. But
others speak -others who do not know the truth or do not want the truth to be known.
They speak out of self-promotion or for profit, and they do not risk being discredited,
because they have nothing to be discredited for. Today this happens in every
country, and is fully exploited by all the people and institutions that do not want
disclosure to occur. What actually happens is that people either tend not to really
believe “revelations”, or else they fool themselves into believing, or at most they
suspend their judgment, knowing that those “revelations” come from people who aim
at self-promotion or profit and do not fear being discredited.

I shall try to provide a systematic and point-articulated exposition, as soon as
possible. The global scenario is extremely complex, as it also includes the presence
and activities of the other extraterrestrial populations among us. However, if we
consider this scenario under the perspective that the Friends offer us, at least we
have a connecting thread and a general sense. This is possible because the Friends’
perspective is a privileged one, because of their very special relationship with the
subtle levels and the Soul of the Universe. Under any other perspective the scenario
would not just be too complex -it would even be undecipherable, and, in the end, one
of despair.

THE INSTALLATION

An interview with Dr. Valery Uvarov by Graham Birdsall

The following extracts were transcribed from a filmed interview with Valery Uvarov, of Russia’s National Security Academy, conducted by Graham W. Birdsall, Editor of the UK-based UFO Magazine. The interview took place at the 12th International UFO Congress Convention and Film Festival in Laughlin, Nevada, US. Please note that Graham Birdsall is now deceased and UFO Magazine has closed.

Graham Birdsall (GB) What is your official title?

Valery Uvarov (VU): I am head of the Department of UFO Research, Science and Technical, National Security Academy, based in St. Petersburg, Russia.

GB: This then, is an official Russian government agency?

VU: Absolutely. I am answerable to two people above me. They are answerable to the next person above them, who is our President.

GB: What exactly is your remit?

VU: Our research efforts are divided into two parts. Firstly, we are constantly analyzing data coming in from all over the world. We then extract what we consider to be the most interesting information through our database - which is yellow, which is red. This, then, is released to various departments throughout Russia. The other aspect of our research stemmed from asking the question: do UFOs exist or not? For sure, we know they exist, but what is behind their activity, their interest? This is the most important issue for us, and what we mostly focus our investigations on.

GB: There is active cooperation between NASA and Russian aerospace officials at a technical, scientific and maybe even military level. Do you liaise or have ties with organizations similar to your own overseas?

VU: I can tell you truthfully, that just a couple of days before I flew to the United States I had a meeting with my … let’s say, my bosses. And they said they are very interested in cooperating with other organizations... let’s say, our friends in the West. So, I can tell you that this particular mission is at the starting point. I am charged with finding the right people. When this is done, and the next stage is activated, we can make some concrete steps.

GB: Earlier, off camera, you alluded to some important developments concerning the Tunguska explosion of 1908. For the record, can you tell us why you now believe you know the cause?

VU: It is not so much a case of belief; we know what caused it. It was a meteor, but a meteor that was destroyed by … let’s say, a missile. The missile was generated by a material installation. We don’t know who constructed it, but it was built long, long ago and is situated in Siberia, several hundred kilometers north of Tunguska. I can tell you that our investigation has revealed more than one explosion at Tunguska. Let me share something with you. The last time that this installation shot down a meteor was on 24/25 September last year. The Americans … they have three bases … they, too, noticed this explosion.

*Editor’s Ref: See New Scientist vol 178 issue 2399 - 14 June 2003

GB: Forgive me, but some will say this sounds like science fiction.

VU: Graham, you know that when we talk about the truths that lie behind this subject, we only do so with those who have an understanding of the responsibility that goes with it. And you know that we are dealing with a technology much further ahead of our own - one capable of doing things that we cannot.

GN: Can you be more specific about the location of this installation?

VU: Look for the site of the Tunguska explosion. To the southeast is the very large and famous Lake Baikal. Beyond that, to the north, is a huge and barren territory covering 100,000 kilometers. Hardly anyone lives there. There are no towns or cities. Here is where we located the installation...

GB: Are you aware of strange stories or rumours concerning the so-called “Planet X”? If some new and heavenly body had entered our solar system, astronomers would surely detect it and declare its presence.

VU: I cannot speak for astronomers in the West, but astronomers within our Academy tell us we have nothing to fear. I have heard people talk about a rotation figure of 3,600 years for this planet, which is in a similar orbit to that of the Earth but behind the Sun. We know that this planet and the installation in Siberia are closely connected. Let me say that we believe that this installation is keeping that planet in a stable orbit. If that planet were to move, to shift orbit, the entire solar system would become unstable. Those of us in the Academy are sure that the planet is inhabited, and that this installation is designed to protect them and us. We are sure that nothing dangerous will happen. Everything is under control.

Our investigations have shown that the Earth has a pulse - a finely tuned frequency that affects everything, every living thing. Some 12,500 years ago, this pulse corresponded to 360 days of the year - study the old Egyptian calendar - but then an asteroid struck the Earth. We believe the orbit of the earth was altered, artificially, to compensate for this. Our planet moved further away from the Sun, to a frequency pulse of 365.

This has taught us to believe that we have friends - friends who watch over us, silently. They did not allow then, nor will they allow now, any planet, comet or asteroid to strike and destroy the Earth. This, for us, is now absolutely clear.

Those who wish to weaponize space... to tell you the truth, all of us involved in this project feel a pain in our hearts. Here we all are, investigating this installation and some other stuff, material stuff, none of which was constructed by Russians or Americans but by someone else, someone from outer space. It saddens us when we think what could happen if weapons are put into space.

Let me speak frankly. This installation has a power system, an energy source. We have located this. It was during the conflict in the former Yugoslavia that we first noticed an increase in the output of that energy. For us, it was incredible, but we now know that this installation reacts to social upheaval and conflict. Part of our investigation involved searching through ancient records and archives, and then we came across the Echutin Apposs Alanhor (sic) texts. We call them the Alanhor, and they are at least 4,000 years old. They describe the installation, in scientific terms, as to what was taking place there. It’s amazing.

I have visited the area twice. The first time our equipment detected strong levels of radiation. I have to tell you, it was pretty dangerous; we couldn’t hide from it. The few local inhabitants of the area knew of the installation, of course, and they described it to us. They describe metal-like structures and drew them for us. We plotted everything on a map. But these people, their families, the animals, they were suffering from radiation sickness.

The radiation levels have been continuously monitored for the past six years, and now everyone - including the animals - has left the forest. Let me tell you something about the Tunguska explosion - something that has never been spoken of before. Two months before the explosion, every living animal fled the region. It was as if the installation had powered up to deal with the asteroid. With that came an increase in radiation. The same thing is happening now, today.

GB: Are there any plans to mount another expedition to the area and to visit the installation?

VU: The radiation is a factor but, yes, another expedition is planned for later this year. Look, we want to be open and honest about this. We welcome international participation, but the people we invite must be responsible in the eyes of the world. We want people who are honest, open-minded and transparent, who are eager and willing to cooperate and exchange and then disseminate the scientific data. I invite you, Graham, to come to Russia and visit the installation as an observer.

GN: I would be honoured. Thank you.

VU: You can tell people what we, Russia, have decided that it is time that other people should know about this and not just a few.

EDITOR’S NOTE:

This interview first appeared in the UFO Magazine, which is now closed due to the death of the publisher and editor, Graham Birdsall.

Further information on the Installation has now been published in NEXUS Magazine - see Part 1, Part 2.

CENTAURS

Drawing by Chief Dan Leonard

Centaurs in North America
From J.C. Johnson and Phantoms and Monsters blog

When you think of a 'Centaur' the vision is usually of a mythological creature from Greek origin. It's head, arms, and chest are those of a human and the rest of its body, including four legs, hindquarters, and a tail is like that of a horse.

There is the legend of Ixion who was purified by Zeus of a first murder of kin, a horrifying deed. The shameless man repaid this honor by trying to seduce Hera. The goddess told her husband. When Zeus learned about this passion he made a disguised model of Hera, a cloud likeness, to see how obsessed he was with his wife.

Ixion was so deeply in love with Hera that he slept with the disguised model. Zeus punished Ixion by chaining him to a winged and fiery wheel, which revolved forever in Tartarus. The cloud gave birth to a creature named Centaurus. It was Centaurus that descended upon a herd of Magnesian mares and conceived the Centaurs.

There have been stories of similar creatures throughout the ages but in locations that you'd most likely not imagine.

I received the following email from M.B. who is Native American:

Hey Lon...this is a second hand account that I heard from my father's trusted friend. I'm sorry I can't provide any more details than what I was told from the witness.

When my father's friend was younger he was a Deputy for the Apache Reservation Police. I believe it happened in the early 1980s, but not sure. One night he was on patrol in his squad car alone on the reservation. He was driving along the deserted highway that passed through town. When he reached the church he saw something moving back and forth along the church, peering into the windows. He stopped the car on the highway, and observed for a while. It was too dark to make out much at first. Then, the dark shape took notice of him and began moving out of the shadows and into the front of the church.

I forget exactly whether he then moved the police car into the parking lot to intercept the man, or if he stopped the car shortly after making a move but either way the headlights helped illuminate what he saw.

Under the orange light of the street lights was a 8 foot tall Demon-Centaur!!! The bottom half was indeed a dark haired horse, while where the neck and head should have been was the upper torso of a man. The man was staring right at him as it strolled by, all 4 hooves clanking on the pavement. His skin was a dark red and it had horns on either side of his head. He said they were like ram horns, curled around on either side of his skull. He was terrified and while the thought of shooting the beast crossed his mind, he reasoned against it. He didn't want to provoke it and have it attack him. It completed crossing the road, and down a steep slope into a farmland field below. Once it reached this open ground, he watched as it started to run away as fast as possible until it disappeared into the darkness and trees beyond.

He was deeply troubled after the encounter and couldn't reason why a demonic creature would be looking into a building as holy as a church. The way he told the story, you couldn't help but believe it to be true and I'm sure that it actually happened.

I've had weird encounters myself, and lots and lots of 2nd hand stories from friends/family on the Navajo and Apache Reservations. I shouldn't talk about many of those though. Being Native American, talking about these weird things can have negative repercussions to those involved. M.B.

I contacted my friend JC Johnson who confirmed that there have been similar sightings in the Four Corners / Navajo Reservation area for some time. In fact he forwarded a sketch of one of these creatures by Leonard Dan.

I recall a strange sighting in Michigan in 2006:

Location: Between Battle Creek & Bellevue, Michigan - January/February 2006 - night

A woman driving alone on a road between both towns had to slow down for a stop sign. Suddenly a creature of very large size jumped up over a snow bank and ran “10 yards a second”. It was coming towards the car. She further described the creature as “enormous and its body as white as the snow around it”. It had tiny little legs, like animal goat legs but very small. She had the impression that parts of it were like a man and other parts of it were an animal. According to her it either grabbed, or reached for the door handle but her car was locked. She said its fingers were incredibly long, “long, long fingers and nails”. It was so incredibly fast that she did not see a face or anything else. She mentioned that another car of people had also seen it too; they had stopped and looked at it at one point.

There was another incident in Melbourne, Florida:

"Three friends and I saw an apparition, possibly of a demon, when we were all around 10 years old. Myself, another boy and his two sisters were riding bikes together down a sidewalk that ran along the outskirts of our neighborhood The end of that sidewalk is at a beach-side highway in Melbourne, Florida.

Nearing the highway, with me leading the pack, the boy put his hand on my shoulder and made me stop riding. When I looked back at them, both girls were staring straight ahead with tears in their eyes, and the boy pointed for me to look. Not knowing what they could be pointing at because I had just been looking that direction when they stopped me, I looked and saw what I can only say was a centaur on the sidewalk in between us and the highway. The sun had just risen above the horizon and was at the creature's back, so the whole figure was cast in shadow, but I could make out that it had a very muscular, had a reddish torso, a horse's four legs and was over six feet tall. Next to it was a thicket of palmetto and palm trees from which a person could have jumped out in a clever costume, although the quickness of appearance and the incredible detail of the creature would make me doubt that.

Needless to say, my first move was to turn around and jet, and the others had already done so. Before we pedaled around the corner, I looked and it was still standing there, and I was very relieved that it was not chasing us. After we had reached a safe distance, we celebrated our escape.

Unfortunately, I lost touch with my friends when I moved away that year. When I came back at the age of 15, I lived right by the sidewalk again, and one night from my room, I heard frantic yelling by the road, and came out to discover that a kid had been struck by a car crossing from the beach over to the sidewalk where I had seen the centaur. The family was much too shaken up for me to talk with them, and the boy had been killed instantly, so I won't know if he saw something, but it is a very odd coincidence, if that.

I've just started trying to recontact my friends to see if they saw the same creature as I, or if we all saw our own version of what we thought the devil looked like, as we didn't discuss it in detail at the time." - paranormal.about.com

A few years ago, there were Centaur-like sightings in the Cree Nation of Alberta, Canada:

"There is definitely a growing phenomena up here in Alberta, Canada. Specifically, the location is better known as Hobbema, a place comprised of 4 distinct Cree Indian reservations. These sightings I speak of occur on the Samson Cree reserve, in and around the high school area.

When I first heard about it, I was skeptical and proceeded to tease my friends, thinking they were trying to pull to wool over my eyes. They were neither insulted nor deterred from sharing with me that in conjunction with their own personal experiences, there is an actual video tape of this "centaur" creating violent havoc inside the school in a hallway near a main exit. Other stories they shared have to do with sightings at night, where the centaur actually chases them or appears suddenly out of nowhere.

It is far too easy to pass this off as "something in the water," for the Hobbema Cree peoples of this area have experienced generations of trauma. The brief history of this location has everything to do with the discovery of rich deposits of oil in the middle of the 1900's. Once harvested, the residents of this area became incredibly rich. However, due to the lack of a holistic education, and decades of dysfunction throughout the community wrought by the Canadian government and the Churches, the locals were unable to fathom and properly adjust to their fortune to the fullest extent.

This resulted in various forms of chaos throughout the later part of the century, for the oil royalties were distributed to every reserve member, and their children as well when they turned 18. The mortality rate increased over time in this area, mostly due to suicide and murder. Today, we see an entire generation of youth, that have completely bought into the ghettoization of their communities and are largely atheist.

In regards to the phenomena of the centaur sightings, it is known throughout the remaining Spiritual community of this area that these "beings" are making themselves known because in the eyes of the youth, there is nothing to believe in anymore. Sightings as such are creating panic and fear, and the phenomena has therefore become demonized by word of mouth.

I am not a community member of this area. Nor have I seen or witnessed anything of the like. However, I have heard this from more than one person from that area and at this stage, I cannot write it off to just coincidence. When I heard of this website, and the kind of work being conducted in communities across the United States, I realized I had to submit something herein in the hopes of generating interest, and hopefully to come across someone else that believes in something of this sort." - pennstateprs.com

Then there was this follow-up to the post:

"I have heard of many stories like this in First Nation reserves in Saskatchewan. I actually have heard of one in Cotes FN, Kawcatoose FN, Kamsack area and in 2003 there was the sighting of a Centaur at Standing Buffalo's FN Pow Wow. I think that it appears to people to tell others that there's something wrong. That there is something wrong in the community. Maybe black magic? We all know as native people that there native people who do practice the bad ways. Sure, there are the good ways but on the other hand so is the dark ways. Personally, I think that when native people practice these dark ways that this centaur or thing will appear to help those ones that practice such bad practices. This thing helps them. I have heard so many stories of this centaur. the most famous one is the sighting at Standing Buffalo powwow. I do not know what the Elders did over there. One Elder had to have a special ceremony and singers were requested from far away to help in the ceremony. The singers who were traveling from far away could sense this evil thing and one singer actually turned around and didn't attend the ceremony because he was afraid. The spirits were afraid of the old man conducting the ceremony. But the spirits helped by taking that evil thing centaur and banishing it to the pits of the mountains. I know there are a lot of native people who have heard such stories and I am curious to know what did their Elders do in such circumstances?" - pennstateprs.com

FOUND ON A FORUM

The above picture was taken by Dave Ozz over Farmington, NM on August 28, 2011 while photographing lightning.

"Captain S"
A pilot in the secret Navy Space Command
United States

Due to all the internet hype the Navy actually sent a recon mission to Elenin. Let’s just say it won’t cause the excitement some think. But it may present a few surprises that no one expected. I’ll be here for about 20 minutes to answer questions and then I’m off. Just trying to be nice because I know there is a lot of buzz about it. (Since this was written Elenin has broken apart)

How long does it take to get there?
From the moment the crew steps in the craft, preps, clears port, about 60 minutes. Actual travel time, about 20.

Go into detail about a few of these surprises
No doom from Elenin. its not a comet, or not totally just a comet.

What type of craft are you using (TR-B)?
no

Ok, what exactly is it
check into the properties of E-type asteroids. very similar. however if you connect the dots you‘ll know that E types are codeword for something more interesting

What effect does this Elenin have on our earth, and what risks does it pose for us?
it won’t have any effects on earth. But it may be of interest to ham radio operators

X-37, NOTE, Tin Can?
sorry, can’t go there

is Elenin artificial? Is anything riding it so to speak?


Well if you aren’t so cryptic, maybe someone would take you seriously. Explain further.
Remember I don’t want to lose my clearance buddy. Look at my response to captain (question directly above). Anyway my twenty minutes are up. Gotta go. I’ll check back in 45 minutes or so for one more session of questions. Have a nice weekend all.

Whats your opinion op on the all the ex NASA employee’s spilling the beans on everything they know since they are all getting canned?
NASA is just a front for the public. Their budget is miniscule. Not enough money to really do anything but put a few probes in our solar system. The real space program falls in the military’s domain, mainly AIRFORCE and Navy. But the nice chemical rockets sure are fun to watch. As far as NASA spilling any beans. Very few people from NASA are actually in the loop. They don’t know anything to spill.

Lets just say if something or someone is riding it, would we have to worry as far as death and destruction go, or would it be more of a eye opener ? I personally don’t have a opinion about Elenin, just asking questions….
As I said before, there is no doom with it. So no need to worry

Might there be a lot of vehicles? Say 7000?
What do you mean by ‘a lot of vehicles’? That’s all classified and i am not privy to the overall actual numbers other than the area I work in.

Might the “Item(s)” in question be able to carry a lot. Say 7000?
OK now I see what you are getting at. I really don’t know, sorry. I know there are at least 2 more missions planned and after the next someone will have that answer, maybe. But I probably won’t be a part of it.

Did the US space command bring down the Twin Towers on 9/11 using some kind of powerful weapon?
I don’t know anything about that.

So why are you telling us this? What can we benefit from what you know? Just tell us what you obviously want to tell, but are afraid to.
Go look up E class asteroids. also look up the ESA’s Rosetta mission to Steins. Where magically the high res cameras just happened to fail and there is your answer. Sorry I can’t be more direct but this one is a bit more operational and is talking. Someone savvy will be able to ‘hear’ it pretty soon. There will be no denying that history isn’t what we’ve been told but much more interesting. No doom. Just something pretty neat coming. I have said enough.

If I were in the Navy Space Command and wanted to talk to the public I would use a conspiracy forum such as GLP… Why? because no one will believe it lol. Are you using gravitational wave propulsion ships.? And is it true that the Navy Space Command has stations on Mars and is there a collaboration with the Grays?


Pisses me off that we have been putting astronauts lives in jeopardy with chemical rockets. when in fact we have been hiding a much more advanced safer space program all this time..
I have complained about this exact same thing all in the name of national security. Whatever. Now you know why there is no replacement for the shuttle but times are ah changin. And what we do may become a bit more open very soon. We are bankrupt. Can you imagine what giving the commercial sector some of this would do for the economy! they are considering it as we speak. Instead of taking 5 1/2 hours for a coast to coast flight it would take a matter of minutes. Interesting times. Its hard to bite my tongue but keep the faith. Soon, Very Soon.

E Class Asteroids -
A fairly rare, very reflective asteroid that is slightly red in color, probably due to the presence of some surface organic chemicals. E-class asteroids dominate the Hungaria family of the main belt, though some, including the two largest, (44) Nysa (see Nysa-Polana family) and (64) Angelina, are found scattered farther out. Their flat reflectance spectra in the 0.3 to 1.0 micron region and high albedos (usually above 0.3) suggest a connection with the aubrite (otherwise known as enstatite achondrite, hence the “E”) category of meteorite. However, this link is problematic because aubrites are clearly of igneous origin, whereas some E-class asteroids (including Nysa) show an absorption feature at 3 microns that points to water-and/or hydroxyl-bearing minerals and a nonigneous history.
Basically that means its highly reflective, metallic.

Do you fly your vehicles fairly low at night and change direction at nano second speed?
Not me. My CO is a hard ass. but I’ve heard stories, some funny ones. If i did it I’d probably be court martialed.

OP what can you tell us about the program besides the fact that you went to Elenin?
That they know they gotta tell everyone soon, because the gap between what we have and what we admit is increasing to a point that they can’t keep it all a secret forever. Think 50 lightyears for a one or two day trip is easy. Listen to what Ben Rich said. It's all coming out soon or else I wouldn’t be posting. We live in the most interesting times ever. The next 5 years will be the most amazing, starting with this year. The old farts running things realize this and hate change, but its inevitable. thanks for participating guys. i’ll check back later tonight.

I’d say one would have to be one bad mofo to drive one of those. Can they see me watching them? Are their eye pieces able to see the fly I swat?
Actually its easier than flying a jet. Most of it is automated but they still pick the elite of the elite for this stuff. And yes they can see the fly you are swatting, your facial expression, and who exactly you are via facial recognition.

Does the US Navy Space Command always send recon missions to comets and neo’s? Or was this unique? Does something concern them about this Elenin or is this more SOP?
If something is out of the ordinary than they will look at it using a wide variety of sensors. if there is still questions then yes they go out there and check it out.

One thing that I must point out that you just don’t get from watching on a TV is the absolute beauty out there. The earth and other planets are simply magnificent and awe inspiring. I have even suggested to take various world leaders out there to take a look at the earth and see its beauty from space. When you see how amazing it is you wonder what all these wars are about and wonder why we can’t concentrate directing our efforts towards lifting mankind up.
Saturn close up, mind boggling. A few planets in other star systems would absolutely blow your mind. Its too bad they can't make an IMAX movie showing some of this stuff. It is so sad the universe is hidden and most are stuck on a rock and can’t see the universe in all its beauty and wonder. The sheer number of stars you can see without any interference from the atmosphere. WOW!!!!! its absolute paradise this universe.

OP have you or your fellow officers traveled to Niburu/Planet X? If can say, will it come near to earth in a year or two?
i have never heard anything about Nibiru.

Your welcome OP. Don’t abandon us like so many do.
No i’m back can’t stay here forever but it really feels great letting curious folks in on a bit, like a weight off my chest. I admit I don’t know everything about this stuff, not even close. but I feel happy sharing what I can.
All that taxpayer money going to stuff like this and normally you aren’t even told it exists! But change is right around the corner. I’ve never seen so much activity/excitement among the brass and civilians than I have the last 6 months. some just don’t want to change and keep it all to themselves. but they are finding themselves to slowly be in the minority on that viewpoint.
I think we may be heading in the right direction as far as the secrecy. These guys are paranoid by nature and rightly so. but even they realize this is too big to keep secret. humanity deserves to know.

I have read that space is really blue not dark like NASA has fed us. Is this accurate?
It is pitch black

Did you go to flight school in Corpus Christi or Pensacola?
I understand your curiosity. I don’t want to talk about personal stuff though.

I was just asking because I want to be a Navy Pilot and have been looking it up online.
From what I understand if I join and pass basic I would probably go to Pensacola. Which is fine with me.
The way I see it if you can land a plane on an Air Craft Carrier, then you are one of the best pilots in the world.
You are 100% correct. carrier landings are insane. good luck kid.

OP can you say what the furthest distance from earth you’ve traveled is? Another star system?
About 250 ly, others much much further, and still heading out.

OP do other nations of earth have a Space Command, or is US alone in this ability?
OK I’m not privy to all of this, but obviously from working in this field I will tell you what I have seen.
Yes and yes. Some other guys are up there, the usual suspects, but so far we see they are only sporting conventional or just a bit more advanced than conventional NASA type tech. They mainly stay in L.E.O. and don’t cause much interference with our operations. They are just a nuisance at this time

So what are you talking about happening like first contact or something like that?
As far as Elenin, i just hope we have some ham radio operators out there who can listen to to it. we need to learn about ourselves and our heritage. Elenin may help with this.

OP thanks!!! for answering. Your point of view of the depth and beauty of space is uplifting for us earth bound ones. A final question about Elenin…. will it be so bright that it might light up the night sky like a double full moon or similar?
You’d have to ask an astronomer. I’d guess its too small to be any sort of visual spectacle UNLESS, it becomes active that way also. That would be amazing. Anything is possible.
And yes, my first trip out there was a God smack in my face with the sheer beauty and awe. quite a humbling experience any one of us would benefit from. I hope one day everyone can.

Hey OP, Can you tell us what hidden technology, in your opinion, would be the most valuable to humanity if released to all?
Do we have the technology to end most of the suffering on this planet?
We have a whole bunch of amazing stuff. Yes we could end suffering and turn the planet into a total paradise. Nothing makes my blood boil more than this. But there is hope. There are some men, a few with vision that are in the right positions now that maybe you’ll start to see some of it. I really think we are heading that way.
I guess i didn’t answer you question. This is why I think this stuff has been kept in secrecy. They use nat.sec. as an excuse but its really to protect the oil profits. However Fukushima has really rattled them.
I am just a peon when it comes to this kind of policy, but there seems to be an internal struggle with one side wanting to get this stuff out and the other side being paid off to keep it secret. This is where i better shut the heck up. but you get the idea.

Have you observed other civilized planets?
Yes, city lights from space, very similar if not identical in some cases to our cities.

Thanks. Still didn’t even throw us a bone with a specific heretofore unknown tech., but that’s OK. We don’t want you to get into trouble. ;-`)
So give us a name. Who is paying whom to keep humanity suffering and dying? Be a Patriot, give us a name. Thanks.
This is a VERY sketchy area. If I gave you names I’d probably have a visit sometime in the next few days that I’d rather not. But really I can only speculate. Maybe some of them really do have the view that this is better left to the military for now. Or maybe they are getting paid to keep this view. I would really know but I’m sure there are those that know very well in intelligence circles.
These guys can be very short sighted. Why not be the ones responsible for bringing heaven to earth? Sad really, but the good guys are gaining ground, trust me.
Yes zpe is real. space is actually more energetic than matter. The trick is figuring out how to get it because there is very little to no energy gradient but they have figured it out long ago.
No need to ever pay another electric bill again or fill your tank up.
They could desalinize all the ocean water they wanted for almost free and irrigate the deserts. The possibilities are unlimited. Greed can only hold out and suppress this for so long.

OP do you know what this is:

Does your propulsion system for traveling l.y. away have anything to do with a bogey owned by Ra and orbiting the Sun:

Haven’t seen Ra out there yet, lol.
If you really want to see some neat stuff, buy a pair of 3rd or later gen night vision goggles and spend some time looking up with them.

OP, this crop circle represents the interception of Elenin by an antimatter weapon orbiting the Sun. It will depolarise Elenin’s EM field represented by the small rocket thunderbolt at the tip of Apophis head and render the asteroid benign against Earth’s EM field. I doubt the Navy Space Command has such a powerful device to fulfill the work.

If it is destroyed, that would be a travesty. There are some out there who could do this. I just hope whoever is making the crop circles is wrong about this one. Elenin has been given a lot of doom and gloom press.
It is quite the opposite. A beacon of hope and a glimpse into the past. A glimpse into who we really are perhaps, from all the clues that have been gathered. Our guys are going wild like school children on Christmas eve when it comes to this thing. I’d love to go back myself.

David Wilcock got an anonymous tip that Air Force Space command was mining Element 115 somewhere in the Hercules constellation. Could this be correct?
Mining element 115? Sounds like science fiction. Is David Wilcock a science fiction writer?

OK… OP… Appreciate that you can’t share the actual vehicle designation…
Can you give some idea of the technology involved?
Thanks…
There are various advanced methods of propulsion. One time the discovery channel of all places aired a show about 5 years ago that spoke about some of these techs, at least the early days of it and I almost spit my coffee out watching. It had ‘advanced aircraft’ in the title. I really wish I would have dvr-ed that show as I can’t remember the whole title and I have searched for it and never found it. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw what they were talking about. Almost 100% accurate with nice graphics and visualizations. someone spilled the beans. I’m sure its been yanked but that show would have really wet your whistle. Perhaps it wasn’t yanked and i can’t find it. I suggest looking for this and see if you can find it.
As much as I’d like to share. I really can’t go there. I’m sorry.
I will share this small tidbit. There are those that create their own sort of wave and ride it like a surfer.
Think about Einstein, when they drop a ball in a sheet to demonstrate how timespace gets warped by matter.
They jokingly say we have front wheel drive. We are pushed not pulled and it certainly feels that way even though they say the inertia is canceled I swear I feel the ‘pull’
that’s all I will say on this. Sorry to be vague.

So you have no information on the Nemesis Dwarf Star. Dr Bill Deagle and company claims it will be visible from the Southern Hemisphere with a high power telescope in about a month. And will start wreaking havic on earth in about 5-9 months?
Never heard of it.

OP: To your knowledge, what year did mankind (our current society) successfully breach the Van Allen Belt? TIA.
I guess I should know this. The Apollo missions?

Op – have you seen any angels out there in your travels?
Also, have you seen the so-called approaching “ribbon” or cloud of energy that Sickscent has done so much research on, and that the Boeing and NASA insiders have spoken of as threatening our planet?
You can’t see the ribbon but its funny you bring that up. That has been a HUGE concern for the scientists. They put out a cover story that it was the solar wind being reflected back, but that is baloney. Its hard to tell. Another poster just mentioned the Van Allen belt, which we don’t even think about because we are protected from it. I wouldn’t say it was a force field but all EM and radioactive particles cannot penetrate our craft. The system is so good that there is less radiation inside our craft then on the surface of the earth, including going through the ribbon.
But there are experiments going on in the ribbon to see what kind of effects it will have when it reaches the inner solar system. Good question. So far they just don’t know. The ribbon has some odd qualities to it.

Well I hope Dr. Deagle is wrong, but the guy is one of the most intelligent people I have ever listened to. Although he does seem prone to flights of fancy!! If the Nemesis Dwarf Star is as close as people are indicating then no doubt its been visited by advanced Space Command craft. He also confirms we have hyper light speed spacecraft, so he knows something concerning black programs! Please if possible ask something about this problem. Although I know that things are very compartmentalized, so its hard to find stuff out!!!!
I would think something so epic I would have heard of. I will surely ask around. Thanks for the heads up. I think I’ve heard Deagle on the internet a long time ago. From what I remember he did sound intelligent, but I can’t remember him talking about this nemesis dwarf star. I’d wager it doesn’t exists or I would probably have known. but this business is all about compartmentalization and secrecy. A need to know basis. so you never know! I’ll ask around.

You guys are the pilots of the huge black isosceles triangle mother ships, right?

No, but the black triangles are ours. That is an Airforce asset. They are mainly used below 150k ft. They aren’t designed for interstellar travel.

Hi guys. I just wanted to get the word out that you should start listening with your radios, point them towards Elenin. You should start picking up a signal soon if not already.
Thanks for the questions, this has actually been very fun.
can’t really go into any more detail, but I must say, you are a fine lot here. Thank you and I really mean that.

One more thing. I’m not saying I won’t be back. I have just told you as much as I can right now and duty calls. So I won’t be able to post until I’m back on August 11th.
When I get back I will post an up++date. I look forward to it because 10 years ago I was on the net searching myself, I know what it’s like.
take care all. and I will catch up with you soon"

I don't know anything about the source of this post.

Rings true to me.

Here's a pretty good video Aileen on Ben Rich
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7ahst8TMww




I did not find an update so who knows what happened to the pilot. Perhaps a reprimand for saying anything at all.

For you doubting Thomas's out there, if you have seen Ed Grimsley's video about the night vision binoculars, there is an interview with a lady on the end of it whose husband is in jail to keep him quiet. He was one of the pilots in the secret Space Command. She has been doing everything she can to get him out of prison.

THE INTEGRATRON

History

George Van Tassel, creator of the Integratron, was a legendary figure, an aeronautical engineer and test pilot who worked for Lockheed, Douglas Aircraft and alongside Howard Hughes at Hughes Aviation . He was also one of the leaders in the UFO movement who held annual "Spacecraft Conventions" at Giant Rock for 25 years. Van Tassel said UFO channelings and ideas from scientists such as Nikola Tesla led to the unique architecture of the Integratron. He spent 18 years constructing the building.

In 1947, after an exemplary career in aviation, Van Tassel moved his family to Giant Rock in the Mojave Desert near Landers, California and opened Giant Rock Airport and a cafe called The Come On Inn. He leased four square miles of land from the government, including Giant Rock, a 7-story high, freestanding boulder formerly sacred to the Native Americans who lived in the area.

Van Tassel learned of Giant Rock from Frank Critzer, a prospector and desert dweller, who had excavated under the massive boulder to construct a dwelling of several small rooms protected from the fierce sun. Critzer had been killed in a explosion of the dynamite he kept stored in his rooms, the circumstances of which are still a mystery. The gutted rooms became storage for the Van Tassel family, but they slept outside the Rock and during the day tended the airport and their small cafe.

George Van Tassel began conducting weekly meditation sessions in 1953 in the rooms underneath Giant Rock which, he claimed, led to UFO contacts and finally to an actual encounter with extra-terrestrials when, in August of that year, a saucer landed from the planet Venus, woke Van Tassel up and invited him onto the ship. There the aliens gave him the technique for rejuvenating living cell tissues. In 1954 he and his family began building a structure they called The Integratron to perform the rejuvenation. George described his creation this way, "The Integratron is a machine, a high-voltage electrostatic generator that would supply a broad range of frequencies to recharge the cell structure."

His annual Spacecraft Conventions were attended by tens of thousands across two decades, featuring speakers that included high profile UFO contactees and pioneers in the fields of antigravity, primary energy research and electromagnetics. Van Tassel led weekly meditations in the rooms under the rock from the 1950's to the 1970's, which he claimed led to UFO contacts.

Today, the Integratron, with its amazing architecture, sound chamber and high energy, still stands and is maintained by a group that offers public tours, special events, "Sound Baths," and rentals of the property to a variety of groups spanning many interests. Many visitors experience the Integratron as a very powerful vortex for physical and spritual healing. Scientists who study the building call it "a mass battery" and a "magnetic room."

A Brief History of Giant Rock Covering the Last 90 Years (1887-1977)
by George W. Van Tassel

When I came out here in 1947, I became a close friend of Charlie Reche. Later, I bought Charlie's property, which was known as Reche's Wells.

Charlie Reche had been here since 1887, at which time the people living in the area were all Indians. Most of the information I gathered concerning the history of Giant Rock was from both the Indians and Charlie Reche. So I figure this information is right from the horse's mouth, so to speak, because they were the ones who were here before it became what it is now.

According to the Indians, this was an Indian Holy Ground, where the north and south tribes met annually. The Chiefs held their seances and meetings close by the Big Rock, which they called the "Great Stone," because to them it symbolized the Great Spirit, as it was the largest single object in the area. Today, it is still known as the largest single boulder in the world.

The Indians assembled for their meetings here for up to three days at a time. During their meetings, none of the tribesmen were allowed close by as the meetings, per se, were actually a collection of the Chiefs and the VIPs in the tribe. The rest of the people in the tribe had to camp about a mile or so away so as not to be near the actual meeting place.

I had the honor of being able to speak to the son of an Indian Chief. This man was ten years old when his father put a mark on the Giant Rock, on the north side. The Indians called this mark "the Sign of the Scorpion." To the Indian's understanding, this means a good place. Also, wherever an Indian Chief put a sign, no other Indian was allowed to put other signs. This being the reason for only the one sign on the big Rock. Whenever one finds an area where there are numerous Indian hieroglyphics on the rocks, this is an area where Indian children have been practicing the art.

Charlie Reche, having homesteaded here in 1887, was allowed the privilege of meeting with the Indians many times. Reche's homestead included the area where the Integratron now stands, as well as several acres besides.

In 1930, while I was still in Santa Monica, a very interesting person arrived at my uncle's garage. This fellow had taken up prospecting because he had been in a fishing fleet and also in the Merchant Marine, and as a result had acquired too much moisture in his lungs. Therefore, under doctor's orders, he had discontinued these activities where he had to be in fog and moisture all the time. He had a four cylinder Essex car which had a rod knocking in the engine and he had no money.

My uncle, Glenn Paine, had his garage on 2nd Street, just off of Broadway in Santa Monica, across from the Carmel Hotel. He engaged mostly in the selling of overnight parking for the hotel inside his garage. He also did repair work and was a Buick specialist.

When I came to California from Ohio, in 1930, to see my uncle, he needed someone to help him. So I stayed with him and that's how I happened to be there.

This man I spoke of happened to be Frank Critzer. When he came into my uncle's garage, he was looking for someone to correct that rod knock in his Essex, who would do it without charge.

Being interested in mining and having a period of lull during the depression, we just happened to have a little time on our hands when this fellow drove in with his Essex. So, that same day we took him to lunch with us. We discovered he was a very intelligent person and that he did know quite a lot about prospecting. Thus, in the course of getting acquainted we became instant buddies, so to speak. My uncle allowed him to sleep in the garage and we repaired his Essex.

When Frank Critzer was ready to leave, we gave him $30.00, which was a lot of money in those days. We also stocked his car full of canned goods and headed him out. He told us that wherever he would settle down then he'd write to us, and also that we would be included in any mining claims he should happen to declare.

A year went by before we finally heard from him. We had practically given up on him when we received a letter in which he had drawn a map showing how to get to Giant Rock. The following weekend my uncle and I went to Giant Rock to see him.

Frank had already started to dig under the big Rock to make a place to live. Banning was the closest town in which one could purchase supplies for building, so Frank was getting by with what was there. Too, he had only squatter's rights and a mining claim on Giant Rock. He didn't own the property, for it was government land. By digging under the Rock he could have a place to live without having to purchase materials to amount to anything.

Frank had shrewdness and comprehension, so he reasoned that if he dug a room under the north side of the Giant Rock, the boulder would take all summer getting warm and hold the warmth beneath it during the winter. By the same reasoning, the Rock would get cold during the winter and keep the room temperature cool during the summer. Thus there would be little need for heating or cooling. This would amount to six months' delayed thermal reaction.

This has proved to be good engineering on Frank's part because the maximum temperature under the Rock is 80ƒF without any refrigeration in the summer time, and a minimum of 55ƒF in the winter time with no heating. The outside temperature will vary from approximately 25ƒF to 115ƒF.

The Giant Rock covers 5800 sq. ft. of ground and is 7 stories high. The rooms dug out from beneath it amount to approximately 400 sq. ft., so one can readily see that this is a very small fraction of the total area of the bottom side.

Frank was falsely accused of stealing dynamite, failing to register for the draft, and several other things, in 1942, while the US was at war with Germany. Having a German name, it was assumed by many people that he had to be a German spy in order to live in such a desolate place as Giant Rock.

The only radio Frank Critzer had was one that Charlie Korell had given him. I spoke to Charlie later about this as he made frequent trips to Giant Rock. The radio was a little 3 dial, A & B dry battery Atwater Kent, with the tubes exposed and no case around it. It wasn't any good for transmitting messages to Germany, although it was a superhetrodyne receiver.

The stories had generated from some people's erroneous thinking. Frank did have a German name. He had served in the German Navy as a mess boy on a German submarine in World War I. But he had come to our country, worked in our Merchant Marine, and was a naturalized citizen. Besides, he had no further affiliation with Germany whatsoever. But because he did have a big radio antenna on top of the mountain, some people assumed he was using his radio for spying purposes and, without first checking with the FBI, these people started the rumor that Frank surely must be a spy. Consequently, in August of 1942, three deputies came to Giant Rock, supposedly to take Frank in for questioning.

I spent many weekends visiting with Frank at Giant Rock. Frank had a big kitchen table, and a big wood-burning cook stove, on which he prepared, cooked, and served German pancakes for anyone who happened to stop in. He usually had a case or two of dynamite and a partially opened case under the big kitchen table. We would put our feet on them when we were with him. He also had some caps, as he was doing some prospecting and dynamiting, and he knew how to use these things.

When the three deputies came to take Frank in, the first thing he noticed was that they were from Riverside County. Giant Rock being in San Bernardino County and Frank being a man of principle, he knew they had no authority in this county and he told them so.

According to Bill Royal, who had brought the deputies out here -- as they didn't even know where Giant Rock was, Frank, after a lot of arguing, said that if they were going to take him in anyway, that he needed to get his coat. When he went into his living quarters beneath Giant Rock to get his coat, he pulled the 2 x 4 bar, which he had across the door on the inside to hold it in place, and thus barricaded the door. The deputies immediately assumed Frank was defying them, so they lobbed a tear gas grenade in through the north side window. The unfortunate part of this whole incident was that the grenade landed underneath that table, thus setting off the caps and dynamite. The explosion killed Frank Critzer, blew the windows out, and injured the deputies.
Newspapers ran the story that he was a German spy. I had personally talked with the FBI; they knew the newspaper stories were not true.

Frank had written a manuscript called the "Glass Age" which he'd given to a friend to type. In 1936 he had already in print all of the plastics we use today, and some of which we do not have yet. He was an advanced thinker in his own right, with a brilliant mind.

When I finally had the time from work to come to Giant Rock after reading about Frank's death in the newspapers, there was nothing left but the hole under the rock. All of Frank's belongings had been hauled away, including the 4 cylinder Essex. The place was literally stripped. I was working for Douglas Aircraft at the time, and about a month had passed before I could come to Giant Rock.

On numerous occasions, after the death of Frank, I came with my wife and family to spend our vacations here camping out -- because we all loved this place.

When the war ended in 1945, I made application to the Bureau of Land Management to acquire this property, and wanted to make an airport here. Frank had already cleared an area and many airplanes had landed. However, it wasn't on the airmaps. Being of hard decomposed granite, it is a perfect natural runway. But it was not until 1947 when the paperwork which was involved was finally completed [that] we were able to move to Giant Rock.

It was in 1953 when we began the weekly meditation meetings in the room under Giant Rock which led to the UFO contacts. This resulted in the information which led to the principles of rejuvenation and to the creation of the Integratron.

I operated the airport from 1947 until December 1975 at which time I sold it to Phyllis and John Brady, who in turn turned it over to Jose Rodriguez and his family in 1977.

From James Twyman:

In ancient times "Giant Rock" was held sacred by the Native peoples of the Joshua Tree, California area. So sacred in fact that only the chief was allowed to go near it.

Everyone else had to wait nearly a mile away while the Chief communed with the spirits of the "Rock People" who had prophesied "the day when the Mother would split open and a new era would be revealed." Most other traditions have pointed to this time in our history as the awakening of the Divine Feminine, to a world based upon compassion and peace. Now that Giant Rock has split, many people believe that the prophecy has been fulfilled. In my latest book, "The Secret of the Beloved Disciple," I wrote extensively about two important shamans in this area, Shri Naath Devi and Fr. John, a priest from Los Angeles.

On February 19th and 20th, Shri Naath Devi was inspired to bring a number of powerful healers to the desert near Giant Rock to pray, meditate. She said that the Native people were no longer doing ceremony in this area and that the earth itself was about to react with a violent upheaval. If the Mother accepted the prayers that were scheduled, then Giant Rock would crack at the side, relieving pressure on the Earth's tectonic plates. If the prayers were not accepted, then Giant Rock would split directly down the middle.

The fact that Giant Rock has not moved for millions of years made the likelihood of such a change remote. And yet, the next morning, to everyone's amazement, the boulder had not cracked; rather one-third of the rock had split and had fallen to the desert floor. Shri Naath Devi interpreted this in the most positive light. She said that the Mother had opened her arms to us, cracking open her heart for the whole world to see. Fr. John was there for part of the prayer. He too felt the incredible shift and joined two of my assistants, LaurieJoy Pinkham and Will Clark, who had participated in the prayers with Shri Naath Devi. They had gathered at her house less than 24 hours later.

As they stood in the kitchen discussing the events, lightning struck, sending a ball of light through the center of the house in a north/south direction. Within moments lightning struck again and shot through the house in an east/west direction. This was a very auspicious moment and was witnessed by all four people. Shri Naath Devi declared that the prayers were now complete and that the lightening was honoring the four directions as a sign from the Mother that supported this completion. The boulder had split open only two hours prior to this gathering.

A CONTACT IN 1940

An amazing alien encounter 7 years before either Roswell or Kenneth Arnold's sighting may offer our best chance yet to understand where some UFO's come from and why they are visiting our planet.

For more than two decades, Udo Wartena, a Dutch immigrant living in the Western U.S., kept what had happened to him one spring morning in May 1940 a secret, not even telling his wife. Before dying in 1989 he finally confided in two friends and then wrote the details of his experience down so it would not be lost.

Udo's incredible story remained completely unknown in UFO circles however, until the details were finally released by Australian researcher Warren Aston.

Before we review what took place in this deceptively simple report we must remember that this is an unusually early case in the pre 1947 period, which has yielded only small numbers of UFO sightings worldwide, and almost no cases where the occupants of UFOs were reported.

Let us remember that in 1940, World War II still raged in Europe, the first satellite was still 17 years in the future and the sound barrier had not yet been broken.

Udo Wartena’s experience not only took place in daytime, but involved intimate and open alien contact with a reluctant witness. I have assembled the following from two handwritten accounts and one typewritten account by Udo and from verbal recollections through interviews with the handful of close friends and family members whom he confided in.

THE LANDING

Udo's encounter took place mid-morning early in May, 1940 at his mining claim in the forest near the base of Boulder Mountain, a short distance from Canyon Ferry Lake, near the small town of Townsend, southeast of Helena in Montana.

Udo, a 37-year-old miner of Dutch origin was working in the area part-time for the Northwest Mining Company.

During the previous month he had found a glacial deposit at the base of the mountain, which showed indications of gold-bearing ore. He began working the site in his spare time and first cleared an old and neglected ditch, which ran around the mountainside, using it to divert the water he would need in his mining from a nearby stream.

While moving some large boulders, he heard a humming or droning sound, which he first took to be aircraft, which flew over the area occasionally from Great Falls base in the north. At first Udo took little notice of the sound, but when the noise continued he thought that a vehicle had driven up so he climbed up onto higher ground.

A large disc-shaped object, measuring about thirty five feet high and over a hundred feet across, was hovering a short distance away just above the meadow where he had built his dam. Udo described it as like "two soup plates, one inverted over the other" and resembling "stainless steel in color, though not as bright and shiny".

As he stood watching, thinking at first that it was an airship, a circular stairway with a solid bottom forming part of the craft's hull was let down and a man who descended began walking towards him.

"As I was somewhat more than interested," Udo later wrote, "I went to meet him. He stopped when we were ten or twelve feet apart. He was a nice looking man, seemingly about my age. He wore a light gray pair of overalls, a tam (a common term in that period derived from "Tam O 'Shanter" - a circular cap) of the same material on his head and on his feet were slippers or moccasins".

The man came and shook his hand, apologizing that they had not known anyone was in the area, explaining that it was not their custom to interrupt or allow themselves to be seen. "He asked me if it would be alright if they took some water, and as I could not see why not, I said 'sure'. He then gave a signal and a hose or pipe was let down. His English was like mine, but he spoke slowly, as if he were a linguist and had to pick his way."

The man asked Udo what he was doing and this was explained. Udo, asked if he would be interested in coming aboard the ship, went willingly and without any sense of fear. As he got underneath the craft, Udo described the humming as "not loud, though it seemed to go through you"; once inside the ship the noise was hardly noticeable except what came up the stairwell.

INSIDE THE CRAFT

"We entered into a room about twelve by sixteen feet, with a close-fitting sliding door on the farther end, indirect lighting near the ceiling and nice upholstered benches around the sides. There was an older man already in the room, plainly dressed, but his hair was snow white. I then noticed that the younger man's hair was also white."

Udo described him as being "young and strong-looking" and having clear, almost translucent skin.

Perhaps this explains the curious fact that Udo seems to have asked their age, even before asking their origin; clearly there was something about their appearance to prompt such an inquiry.

The men answered that one was "about six hundred years old" as we measure time and the other was "over nine hundred years" of age. They informed him that they knew over five hundred languages and were learning ours and improving upon them all the time.

When asked why they wanted to take water from the stream and not the lake, the younger man replied that, "the water was good and was free of algae (as if they had retrieved the same before) and it was convenient".

Many years later Udo indicated to a family member that hydrogen extracted from the water was in fact the fuel source for the craft.

Udo then asked what caused the noise of the craft and was not only shown the mechanism that powered the disc, but also given what appears to be a full and open discussion of the key principle involved, in the following words:"...'as you noticed we are floating above the ground, and though the ground slopes the ship is level. There are in the outside rim, two flywheels, one turning one way and the other in the opposite direction'.

"He explained [that] this gives the ship its own gravitation or rather overcomes the gravitational pull of the Earth and other planets, the sun and stars; and through the pull of the stars and planets...to ride on like you do when you sail on ice.

An interesting analogy. Elsewhere Udo described the 'flywheels' or rings as being about three feet wide and several inches thick, separated by rods turned by motors and next to 'battery of transformer'-like units all around the inside perimeter of the circular ship.

Udo was told that the two revolving rings or wheels developed an electromagnetic force, a term he did not understand at the time and inferred from what he learned that the ability to develop a cheaper and more practical energy source was of the utmost importance to mankind.

He was also told that the craft was able to focus on a distant star and use its energy to draw itself through space at speeds faster than light, quote: "skipping upon the light waves". These 1940 explanations seem remarkably similar to the propulsion method Robert Lazar claimed to have learned while working on alien craft in possession of the U.S. government at 'Area 51' and also sounds very much like some of the theories now being advanced by physicists:...the creation of a local distortion of space-time is expanded behind the spaceship, contracted ahead of it, yielding a hyper surfer like motion faster than the speed of light as seen by observers...

In essence, on the outgoing leg of its journey the spaceship is pushed away from Earth and pulled toward its distant destination by the engineered local expansion of space-time itself.

• Commentary on practical faster-than-light travel as proposed by Miguel Alcubierre, published in Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1994.

Udo then wrote "I then asked them where they got the energy to run such a large ship? They said from the sun and other stars and would store this in batteries, though this was for emergency use only. They carried another source but did not explain this to me..."

Asked where they came from, he was told they lived on a distant planet and gave its name - unfortunately not recorded by Udo - and pointed in its direction. Udo asked what their object was for coming to Earth?

"Well." he said, "as you have noticed, we look pretty much as you do, so we mingle with your people, gather information, leave instructions or give help where needed." Explaining that they were monitoring the progression and retrogression of our societies, the man claimed that they lived among us from time to time, a clear statement indicating long-term covert alien surveillance prior to 1940. Udo wrote that he did not understand what was meant by them "giving help where needed" but he did not feel it proper to ask about it further.

When Udo asked if they knew of Jesus Christ and about religion he was told that they would "like to speak of these things but are unable. We cannot interfere in any way". The area of religion and belief systems was to be the only question the aliens refused to discuss.

During his time on board, Udo was invited to be examined for impurities in his system by an "X-ray like machine" which passed over him. Little was recorded about this examination however and Udo seems to have attached scant importance to it.

While talking with the two men, a light had come on which Udo believed indicated that the water had been taken care of. He mentioned that he felt it was time for him to leave.

The alien's response was to ask if he was interested in going with them, to which Udo responded: " I said that I thought it would be interesting, but felt it would inconvenience too many people. Later, I wondered why I said that".

Some time later, Udo recalled an incident about two years previously where a young man had vanished nearby without a trace, despite days of searching by a sheriff's team. He wondered if the young man had met the same craft and gone with them.

As he started to leave the ship, they suggested to Udo that he "...'tell no-one, as no one would believe me at the time', but in years to come I could tell about this experience. When I walked away from the ship they raised the stairway, and when I got a couple of hundred feet away from the ship I turned around.

"A number [of] more portholes had opened up and though I could not see anyone, I felt sure they could see me, anyway I waved at them. The ship then rose straight up until it cleared the trees, then while circling slightly, it practically rose straight up and in a very short while was completely out of sight.

"As I didn't have a watch, I did not know for sure how long I had been with them, but according to the sun it was around noon, or somewhat around two hours."

Udo later related how some type of "energy" had permeated the area and that he lost his strength for several hours and was unable to walk. When his strength finally returned he went over to where the huge craft had hovered, finding only crushed grass where the stairway had rested. Later, still feeling overwhelmed by his unexpected experience, he walked back to his base camp.

Credits: The Udo Wartena case first came to my attention via a brief summary published in James L. Thompson’s Aliens and UFO’s (Bountiful Utah, Horizon. 1993). In his otherwise unique and insightful book Thompson did not conduct any investigation of this case however and his account of it contained numerous factual errors.
