UFO DISCLOSURE: SAN AUGUSTIN CRASH SITE METAL REPORT -- "NOT OF THIS EARTH"

By Art Campbell

We did not think much of the thin pieces of foil found in the arroyo below the highway. Research indicated that we had foil used to package candy and cigarettes, etc. since 1914. In earlier days before WWII, local residents would put household discards into the arroyos and let high water and flash floods take the debris out of sight. Consequently, in many arroyos near the highways, one can find all kinds of small debris and small thumbnail sized pieces of foil, which we eventually picked up. In 10 years or so, we had several square feet of it. Even though we were not expecting to find any "Jessie Marcel memory metal," picking it up at first seemed pointless. You could cut it, tear it, wad it up, and throw it, and it behaved just like your average kitchen foil.

Not thinking much of it, but not wanting to "throw the baby out with the bath," we decided to research it to see if it was from local sources. Sometime one is so sure of something, you just want to get it out of the way to eliminate it. I am afraid that was the case with the foil we picked up. As part of the elimination process, we looked up the metallurgical content of standard Reynolds or Alcoa aluminum foil. We found it to be 99% aluminum, 0.5% silicon, and 0.5% iron. We found that aluminum foil for
households was a by product of the aluminum aircraft industry in WWII, and first introduced in 1947. This was obviously what we had, we thought ordinary store bought aluminum foil. One day, we had some in a box and a ranch wife picked it up and said, "Where did you find this?" We told her, and she said, "you do not see much of this around here."We asked, "Why?"

She explained that western people’s food preparation relied on a lot of frying and baking, and in the early 1950s or so, women did not have much use for it. She said Reynolds or someone sent a free box of it to her high school home economics class about 1949 or ’50 and it languished in a cupboard most of the school year until one girl baked cookies on it and it soon disappeared. "It was expensive compared to the wax paper we knew and were used to." I asked her about food storage and leftovers. She smiled and said, "Table scraps went to the dogs."

We did not see foil around here until the mid-1950s or so when we got our first barbecue.‖ She said, When we finally got decent power and we could put in home freezers, we used it then to prevent freezer burn.‖

The foil we were finding had nowhere near the percentage formula that was introduced in 1947. We knew what we were finding here and it did not resemble the formula for domestic foil. We knew it was different, but we did not know why. Whenever we would find a piece, it was saved. Six small pieces were sent to a metallurgist in the late ’90s. He confirmed it was not domestic and said, "It was very complex, and it seemed to him the samples had come off of the floor and were tailings from a processing operation."‖

Then in 2004, things began to change when I invited Chuck Wade to the site. I met Chuck at the 2004 Aztec UFO Conference. He brought a crew of Navajos down to the site from Gallup. In 4 days, 3 crews dug 28, 1-meter square holes that were 20 centimeters deep. The crews started finding larger pieces of foil, and by 2010, Chuck had contacted Dr. Roger Leir and his L&M Group that helped Dr. Leir finance the removal of what many believe are alien implants.

A Piece of Cake

As a result of their interest, six pieces of Chuck’s metal were analyzed by Steve Colbern, a chemist/materials analyst at a major West coast laboratory. The project was sponsored and funded by the Open Minds organization of Phoenix, Arizona. We soon found out why the earlier metallurgists thought, the foil had been scraped off of the processing plant floor.‖ As it turned out, that was an understatement.

Colbern, using the latest ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma, mass spectrometry) equipment identified 40 to 50 separate elements in a coating on one side of the foil. Each separate piece of the six initial foil pieces were analyzed and each had 40 to 50 or more of the same elements (plus or minus a few more) in exotic coatings.

The Icing

Colbern had given us the remarkable analysis of advanced metal technology that certainly could not have come from Earth in 1947 or the present. Now he was to give us the cake’s icing. While using an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis on the sample W-1, and the ICP-MS process, he was able to isolate three elements: antimony (Sb), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) that were suitable enough to perform isotopic abundance calculations upon. Steve’s tests showed extremely skewed isotopic ratios and indicate that these three metals from the sample W-1 could not have originated on earth.

Some of the foil shards, when found, had signs of being handled before. Folds, such as those seen in the photo, could not be caused by natural forces in the arroyo.

Security Considerations

When we look at the relatively short timeline of equipment development and knowledge needed to assess the crash site material, we can see possibly why there is still secrecy about UFO crash sites.

We needed to go back to 1939 and Albert Einstein’s famous letter to FDR, which led to the super secret Manhattan Atomic Energy project. It was not until 1940 that isotope research got underway at Columbia University studying uranium isotope separation. It was not until seven years later in 1947 that the Roswell and Plains crashes occurred.

Six years later in 1953, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was developed and only 36 years later (in 1989) that the ICP-MS technology was developed.

Scientist’s Conclusions

1) These samples contain very unusual alloying elements, which were not present in aluminum alloys in 1947. If these samples are from an aircraft, which crashed in that year, they are very unusual on that basis.

2) The coatings on the samples are also unusual because conformal coatings of this type, which are blended with the metal, and rich in silica, titania, magnesia, sulfate, phosphate, and chloride, were almost certainly not available in 1947. The coatings on the samples are also somewhat similar to coatings on implants removed from people claiming alien contact.

3) The carbon nanotube indications observed in the Raman spectra of the samples indicates the possibility that the samples may be smart metal‖ materials, which contain carbon nanotubes as electronic components, or to strengthen the materials. Since the mechanical strength of these samples was not unusual, they should be tested for unusual electrical characteristics.

4) The isotopic ratios of three Foil pieces found at the site prior to 2004. More was found later in excavations. Some of it was found on the surface after a hard rain.
Elements in sample W-1 (antimony, copper, and nickel) were extremely skewed [Editor’s Note: In this instance, “skewed” refers to metal formulations not known on earth.], with respect to the terrestrial ratios for these elements, and there is therefore a high probability that the samples came from an extraterrestrial source. These extremely skewed isotopic results are again reminiscent of those obtained from alleged alien implants, and from an alleged piece of the Roswell crash debris which was analyzed by the late Dr. Russell Vernon Clark.

5) The results of the pendulum test indicate that samples W-1 and W-6 may still be emitting gravitational, or magnetic energy, which greatly increases the probability these samples are nanotechnological “smart metals” and of probable alien origin as well.

6) Further microscopic testing should be done on these materials to determine their internal structures. More testing should also be done to determine the existence, extent, and profile of any gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields the samples may be emitting, and their source of energy.

The results of the isotopic analysis of the ICP-MS results from sample W-1 indicate that the isotopic abundances of each of the elements tested (antimony (Sb), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni)) differed significantly from the isotopic composition of the same elements derived from terrestrial sources.

For elements heavier than boron, differences in isotopic composition of more than approximately 1% from the usual terrestrial isotopic abundance pattern, indicates a high probability that the material originated from a non-terrestrial source.
All of the elements tested differed from the terrestrial abundances by much more than this. These elements in sample W-1 therefore may not have originated on Earth.

Summary -

Einstein’s letter of 1939 -Beginning isotope research
1940 -Roswell and Plains UFO crashes 1947 -Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
1953 -ICP-MS
1989 This research is just beginning as we are doing the analysis of the metal foil shards found on the Plains of San Augustin.

Many other things of interest were found: a tiny shoe sole, something that may be an artificial body part, and other items. This leaves us with some questions. What research, if any, was done in 1947 or 1948 or shortly thereafter to match today’s sophisticated analysis that we show in Colbern’s 2010 report? If the shards were analyzed prior to 1989, what procedures were used that were available to give them similar results? A witness said there was foil on the ground at the crash site. Most of it was apparently picked up, but some was left for this researcher, his friend, and a crew of Navajos. Are there possibly some boxes on a forgotten shelf in a government warehouse with more of the arroyo metal shards waiting for that future day when they might get a more proper analysis?…Perhaps. If this is true, then this independent private research may be the first to discover the sophisticated and varied coatings on the strange New Mexico arroyo foil.

EBE ENCOUNTER IN AUSTRALIA

2009 - Alien Encounter in New South Wales, Australia
By Billy Booth, About.com Guide
Sep 15 2011
Witness Reports UFO - EBE Sighting in Australia

Introduction

I would like to thank investigator Albert Rosales for initially publishing this account. Although the exact location remains a secret, we do know that the incident occurred in New South Wales, Australia 1, on the night of February 18, 2009.

The account is similar to some others where a small being is encountered. In this particular case, the being looked human, except for his size, and his ability to show super-human strength.

The Nightly Ritual

Each and every night, our eyewitness, a woman, went on a walk with her dog. They always went around the local race course, which was across from a lake. On this particular night, something extremely unusual and frightening happened.
The woman was surprised when she saw about 200 meters away from her what appeared at first to be a "small man." Thinking nothing of it, she continued her walk. But, as she got closer to the man, he began to wave to her.

Encounter with Being

Attempting to be friendly, she walked up to the man and began to make small talk about the weather. Changing the subject, the little man asked her, "Have you seen any shooting stars2 in the sky tonight?"

Surprised and baffled by his question, she just chuckled as if the off-the-wall comment was some kind of joke. When he did not react to her, she responded by telling him that she very often did see shooting stars, but had not seen any on this night.

She then decided to break off the conversation with the strange man by throwing a ball for her dog to fetch. The direction the ball went drew her attention across the lake. There she saw a shining, blue-silver object. It looked like it might be a flying craft of some kind.

The Craft

Though baffled by the sight of an object that she had never seen before, she did not mention it. After her dog brought back the ball, the strange man copied her by also throwing the ball. The only difference was that when the man heaved the ball, it went some 500 meters, an incredible feat. The dog shot off after the ball.

Awestruck, she looked at the man, and made comment on how strong he was. He simply laughed and thanked her. Their conversation continued with small talk about dogs. Then, something very strange occurred.

Out of nowhere, a thick layer of fog was all around her and the man. She was not able to see where her dog had gone, but could make out the craft across the river, which was also covered with the fog.

Strange Disappearance

Although she had become quite obsessed with this small person, she was worried about her dog, so she took off to try to locate him. She headed into the strange fog3, and soon he came back, safe and sound.

Her and her dog walked back to where the small man had been, but he was gone. Wondering what had happened to him, and his possible connection to the craft across the lake, she journeyed around to check out the craft.

As she approached the area, she could see that it too was gone. Looking around, she did see an area that had crushed grass where the craft must had been. She had no idea just who the strange man was, what he wanted, or where he came from.

This entire account, though believable as we have evidence that the woman who reported the incident is reliable and not given to fanciful stories, does leave us with many unanswered questions.

Was this man an alien? If so, why did he look just like a human, except smaller? And where did he get his super-human strength? Could he have been from another planet, or another dimension? We may never have our answers, only the story of a small, strange man and his flying craft.

MISSING TIME IN BIGFOOT COUNTRY

Michigan’s Manistee National Forest is perfect Bigfoot country.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We received this Bigfoot report on September 25, 2011 from Chuck who saw a Bigfoot on the outskirts of Cadillac, Michigan. The town is located just east of ideal Bigfoot territory – the nearly million-acre Manistee National Forest.

This happened to me in the summer of 1973 when I was 11 years old. I have never forgotten it.

I grew up just outside the city limits of Cadillac, Michigan and one day I was playing in the backyard with my older cousin Matt who was 16 at the time. For some reason he suddenly shoved me to the ground. I was upset at being pushed but thought I’d better take a look at what he was watching.

To my amazement, I saw something I have never forgotten – a huge hairy monster shaking a large pine tree back and forth like he was angry and was going to pull it out of the ground.

Not knowing what to do, I turned to my cousin and started to talk and he said, “Shhhh!”

I spoke again in a much softer voice, “Do you see something shaking the tree?”

“Yep,” he whispered.

I breathed deeply and watched what was happening. We watched for maybe a couple of minutes and then I said, “What do you want to do?”

“We will get up slowly and crawl backwards and then get up and walk backwards and go to the house,” he responded.

Missing Time

When we were in the house, our parents said, “Where have you guys been? It’s been dark for hours. We went outside and yelled for you and we were about to call the police.”

We looked at them in scared amazement; it didn’t feel like we’d been gone that long. All we could say was, “We were just playing in the backyard.”

Since then, whenever I’ve mentioned this event to certain friends, the hair on my arms has stood up, but Matt and I didn’t talk about it for many years.

Much later in life when we were both adults, I saw dear Matt at my grandmother’s house. I was overwhelmed when I saw him. I tried hard not to show it, but I needed to ask Matt if he remembered seeing Bigfoot when we were kids. He said, “Yes, I do remember that.” I felt so relieved.

Sudden prediction

Then I heard a voice say, “He’s going to die. He’s going to be killed by a Mack truck.” I pushed this aside in my mind. I wanted to share it, but I couldn’t. Matt then introduced me to his son and we chatted a little. We never saw each other again after that. A few months later, my grandmother sent my family a newspaper clipping about a strange death of a man mysteriously killed by a Mack truck. It was my cousin.

Hypnosis brings back missing time

Later I met Aileen Garoutte, a hypnotist in Seattle, Washington. I decided to seek her help to see if I could remember anything more about seeing Bigfoot when I was young. It was the first time I attempted to use hypnosis to recover my loss of time that day.

Under hypnosis, I remembered looking up and seeing a huge ship in the sky. It was the size of the craft from the movie “Independence Day,” but it was totally different from the one in the movie. It had lights all on the bottom and it filled the sky as far as I could see.

Then I recalled being on board that ship. I saw Beings on either side of a long hall and they all moved back and allowed me to pass by them. I remember the floor was like thick red foam. I recall looking at them but cannot remember what they actually looked like – unfortunately or maybe gratefully.

Then there was a Being who showed me a room to the left. I walked to this room, looked in, and he showed me a platform to lie down on. At that point, I came out of my hypnotic state.

You can imagine my shock when I read this case and I saw my own name! Thank you skyshipsovercashiers.com for sending it over. Also thank you Chuck for sending it to them.

FROM MY FRIEND IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

Dear Kalani:

Mitch Batros said on C2C the other night that the Canary Islands are experiencing so many earthquakes every hour. He said they are all around 3.5 - 4. Have you felt those? George said isn't that where LaPalma is? Mitch said yes and if it goes a huge tsunami will go across the ocean and hit the east coast over 100 feet high and will go into the main land several miles. What is your take on that?

KALANI'S REPLY

Well, Mitch should take a little valium and calm himself down. I receive his email notices and follow his material on the sun.

Yes, the quakes are occurring on the island of El Hierro. My father in law is from that island. I love that island. It is so alone and mysterious. There are about 20,000 people who live there. It is kind of a Celtic culture, very different from some of the other Canary Islands.

Yes, over the last two months or so they have had well over 8000 registered quakes. They started off small (1.0, 1.5, etc.) but in the last few days they have reached 3.8. I have not heard of any 4.0 quakes yet.

The island is on alert and hundreds of people have been evacuated from key areas. One of them is the city of La Frontera. La Frontera I feel is a danger point as it is on a shelf that could conceivably sink if there is a huge quake. This has happened in many places around the world throughout history, with loss of life. It has happened in Hawaii back when.

The authorities are handling the situation very, very well. In fact, it is being handled with kindness, and respect for the population. Something that is rare here, since in spanish culture rudeness is the name of the game.

No, we do not feel those quakes here on Tenerife. Thank goodness.

Everyone is very surprised at this event as it came out of nowhere. The last eruption on El Hierro occurred in the 1500s if I have my facts correct.

The authorities cannot say what will happen there. Either escalating quakes to relieve the pressure from underground lava, or an eruption. I doubt that the eruption will be violent. But one never knows.

As for that 100 foot wave, well that talk comes from a theoretical collapse of landmass on the island of La Palma, which is NW of El Hierro. If there is a collapse of La Frontera, then it may be possible, but it would have to collapse all at once. If it collapses irregularly, then the competing wave pressures in the ocean may cancel out anything big.

Everyone in the Canaries and Europe is aware of what is happening. We monitor all the news from out satellite subscription and we are seeing most of the news generated out of the European Union.

So, yes, it may be a big deal, but that remains largely unknown at this time.

FRIENDS WITH BIGFOOT

HARRY FROM HARRY AND THE HENDERSON'S MOVIE

Couple makes friends with Bigfoot
From www.skyshipsover cashiers.com. Thank you friends!

On September 4, 2011, two of us from the website met with “Stan” and “Sue,” a couple in their thirties, who began having contact with Bigfoot in August 2011. To protect the Bigfoot from those who want to shoot or capture them, the couple chose pseudonyms and will not pinpoint the exact locations of their encounters except to say they occurred in or around the Smoky Mountain National Park in North Carolina. The following is their story in their own words.

STAN: I should first explain that I’ve been interested in Bigfoot since I was a young boy and saw the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin video of a Bigfoot. As an adult, I’ve researched the subject and talked with individuals who’ve had contact with the Bigfoot. I’ve learned that meditating in remote mountain areas can sometimes attract the Bigfoot who are highly psychic and spiritual.

SUE: We’ve been attempting to make contact with Bigfoot or Sasquatch that way for some time but nothing happened until Sunday, August 21, 2011.

STAN: That day we set out on a long hike into the mountains about 4 p.m. After four hours of strenuous hiking, we found a spot that felt right for our meditation.

SUE: We were deep into the woods and absolutely nobody was around. As we began meditating, I heard the words in my head “Close your eyes” but it was as clear as if someone had spoken the words out loud. Then all sorts of unusual things began to happen.

STAN: We could hear about five or six pairs of bipedal footsteps around us. We felt immense energy and heard the walking for about an hour while we meditated. Every time I telepathically asked for verification of their presence we would hear a loud sound or an 800-pound bird call – obviously not a bird. We heard muffled voices, too. It was like when you hear people talking way off in the distance but you can’t understand what they’re saying.

SUE: It was so intense but every time I started to peek, I heard the words “Keep your eyes closed.”

STAN: We eventually understood that they were communicating telepathically and wanted us to keep our eyes shut because they were afraid they might spook us if we saw them.

SUE: I felt very scared, but only because there are a lot of bears in the area we were in. I telepathically communicated that I was sorry for my fear, but explained that I was afraid there might be bears around. I then telepathically heard “I am not a bear” in a humorous tone. I repeatedly asked if it was them and I got the answer “Yes” every single time.

STAN: We were not at all scared of the Bigfoot because we have done extensive research on them and know that they are by nature gentle creatures if approached in the correct manner. Though our previous attempts to contact them weren’t successful, we felt we were successful this time because we hiked far into the woods and were in a very clear frame of mind.

SUE: Our experience with the Bigfoot didn’t end with our meditation. When I started to walk a little further, I heard “Don’t go any further.”

STAN: We also got lost when we tried to go back down the mountain, so I said out loud, “We’re lost. Can you help us?”

SUE: I was really scared, but then we heard an owl sound. It was leading us.

OTHER ENCOUNTERS

STAN: The following week on August 28, 2011 we hiked up to a mountain ridge. This time we only hiked about a mile into the woods and we meditated earlier – around 5 or 6 o’clock. We felt that only one Bigfoot was present.

SUE: We didn’t get much communication that time, only a strong feeling that one of them was watching us.

STAN: Since then, we have had three encounters near our house which has lots of woods behind it. One time they left us two large hawk feathers at the exact spot where we meditate.

SUE: During one meditation near the house, I asked, “How can such a tiny cricket make such a loud sound?” The Bigfoot response was “Because he does not doubt himself.” I felt it was a message for me to not doubt my telepathic ability.

STAN’S COMMENTS ON BIGFOOT HUNTERS

STAN: There are too many people who just want to capture or even kill a Bigfoot – like they’re the ultimate hunter’s trophy. Such hunters attempt to lure them closer by knocking on trees with large sticks, which is one way the Bigfoot communicate, or by blasting recorded Sasquatch sounds into the woods. Yes, the hunters might get a response but it’s going to be an aggressive response to frighten the hunters away.I would respond the same way if somebody pulled into my driveway, set out a loudspeaker and played a tape of a woman screaming at the top of her lungs. That would make me mad and I’d run the person off my property. So I totally understand why the Bigfoot charge, growl, throw large rocks and give off a defensive odor, like a skunk does, when threatened. Even under attack, though, the Bigfoot do not physically hurt people. They are gentle and prefer to live in harmony with all of nature.

SECRET OF THE SAUCERS

June 25, 1912 - July 24, 1993
by Orfeo Angelucci (1955)
"Snip"

Understanding my thought, she put her hand gently over mine and I saw a mist of tears in her eyes. Then she raised the odd crystal in her hand to her forehead. As though in magic response, a flood of beautiful melody arose from the sea-green building; not the ethereal music of their world, but a hauntingly sad and familiar strain. I recognized the sublime melody of the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria". Tears flowed unrestrainedly down my cheeks for a half-remembered, sad people who dwelt in a strange shadowed region called Earth. Softly she said: "You will remember this, Orfeo."

That name sounded strange upon her lips; like the name of an utter stranger. I bowed my head in bitter regret for Neptune who was, and who now was not - and for the false shadow of Orfeo who is! Confused and perturbed I turned hastily from her and hurried into my room. Somehow I had the feeling that the secret of liberation lay in the mysterious crystal panel near my couch.

But as I reached eagerly for the controls on the panel, I felt a gentle restraining hand upon my arm. I turned and looked into Lyra's wonderful eyes shining with sympathy, compassion and purest love.

My own heart swiftly responded. Then suddenly, miraculously we were as one being, enfolded in an embrace of spirit, shared by all of those in the light of God's infinite love throughout the entire universe. What a tragedy, I thought, that I and my lost brothers of Earth know mostly only the counterfeit embrace of sexual desire and animal passion.

At that moment Orion came in the door and as he stood transfixed, his vibrant love too enfolded us in its pure, golden unselfish light. All boundaries of self were lost in a unity of being. "Our lost brother is home at last," he said softly.

After awhile Orion and Lyra seated themselves near the strange crystal control panel and I rested upon the lounge. Orion touched a crystal disk and immediately an entire wall of the room opened up into a huge three-dimensional void. The room darkened and I saw the void a magnificent view into outer space. But all of space was shining with light; the stars and suns glowed with a deep reddish glow and only the planets appeared of varying degrees of darkness. The scene was focusing upon an unfamiliar part of the heavens. A sun and a number of encircling planets came into view.

Then the scene centered upon a single planet in this unknown solar system. It was a smug, sleek planet and apparently as efficient as a billiard ball. But it was exceedingly dark in tone and surrounded with concentric waves of deep gray. A tangible vibration or emanation came from it; evil, unpleasant and utterly without inspiration or hope. Approaching this world I saw a glowing red dot with a long, misty tail. The fiery dot seemed irresistible attracted to the dark world. The two collided in a spectacular fiery display. I felt Lyra's hand upon mine as she whispered. "It is an immutable law of the cosmos that too great a preponderance of evil inevitably results in self-destruction and a new beginning."

The scene shifted to a different part of the universe. Another dark misty world came into view, although it was not as dark as the first world. About this world there was a vibrant feeling of life and hope. But again I saw a fatalistic fiery red dot approaching and it was evident that this world too was doomed. I shuddered to think of conditions upon that planet at the moment of doom. But then I held my breath as I beheld two tiny dots coming forth from that world apparently to intercept the fiery comet. Intuitively I realized that the dots were remotely controlled by intelligence beings upon the planet who were concentrating the magnetic impulses of the dots upon the comet. Suddenly the comet exploded leaving the world unscathed. I breathed a sign of relief.

Once more the scene shifted and focused upon a third world. Obviously, this was an "in-between" world, neither as dark and hopeless as the first, nor yet as light and inspired as the second. To the left to this planet appeared another smaller body -- I recognized it as our moon and the planet as Earth. From the planet several tiny space ships went out to the moon and did not return. Then a tiny fleet of space craft went to the moon, but some of these returned to Earth.

Suddenly, terrifyingly, to the right of the planet Earth, appeared the red, dot of cosmic doom. Rapidly it increased in size leaving behind it a fiery tail of flame. It was evident that the comet was being drawn irresistibly toward Earth. Neither Lyra nor Orion spoke, but a strange voice said: "In the Time Dimension of Earth it is now the year 1986."

I shuddered and waited anxiously, but the portentous scene slowly faded from the screen. I turned excitedly to Orion. "But what happens to Earth?"

Orion and Lyra both looked compassionately at me as Orion gently replied. "That depends entirely upon your brothers of Earth and their progress in unity, understanding and brotherly love during the time period left them between the so-called now and the year 1986. All spiritual help possible will be given them, not only by ourselves but by others from all parts of the universe. We believe that they and their world will be saved, but in no time frame, or dimension, is the future ever written irrevocably. If they bring upon themselves self-destruction of their planet through a preponderance of evil there, it will mean another fall for the entities of Earth into even denser meshes of materiality and unreality. As you love your brothers of Earth, Orfeo, fight to your dying breath to help them toward a world of love, light and unity."

With those awful and awesome words, he got up and slowly walked from the room, leaving me alone with Lyra.

She smiled gently into my eyes ad touched the mysterious crystal panel. Immediately the incredible, huge, three-dimensional screen became active again. but no longer were we looking into the boundless depths of space and time. Instead, I saw the familiar outlines of the Lockheed plant in Burbank. There was the shop in which I worked. The scene shifted inside the plant. I saw the radomes and my working companions, Dave Donnegan and Richard Butterfield. An unpleasant sensation came over me as though I were fainting, as though I were fading into the huge screen and becoming an active part of the scene I was viewing. Terrified, I turned to call to Lyra, but she was no longer there, only a mist. Then I blacked out!

My next conscious perception was my "awakening" on the job at Lockheed with all of my incredible experiences of those seven days seemingly utterly obliterated from my mind.
Thus six months passed with only hazy, trouble-some intimations of what had happened to me in those seven lost days.

But that night as I rested my head upon the rock down in the Los Angeles River bed, it all came back to me crystal clear. Also, I remembered my frightening, bewildered "awakening" upon Earth in the Lockheed plant, my terrible revulsion with everything I saw upon Earth as compared with the wonder world I had left, although as yet only my higher consciousness fully understood.

I remembered my fellow workers, Dave Donnegan and Richard Butterfield and their reactions to my strange behavior and apparently unreasoning outburst. In the greater scope of my new understanding I realized even more clearly how nobly they had caught me up and sustained me by their own strength through those critical moments. It was so clearly evident to me then that both Dave and Richard had the same basic inherent qualities of goodness and nobility as those godlike beings of that other world. They are both simple, humble men, average workers like myself, yet potential gods! If only they and others like them knew and could realize their divinity, their kinship with God and the greater world of true reality! If every man and woman upon Earth could grasp the great essential basic truth that we are all one and an integral part of God, then indeed all of mankind's hard trials and bitter tribulations would be over. Yes, if only in the abstract we could momentarily attain this illumination, the heavy chains of material bondage would fall from our burdened bodies and our counterfeit world of shadows would vanish in true light.

Today, I believe with all my heart, soul and body in my brothers of Earth. Because of the innate goodness, honesty, nobility and helpful fellowship of the countless other men and women of good will like Dave Donnegan and Richard Butterfield, my undying faith in and love for humanity is forever instilled. Even though our greater brothers of that shining, lost, wonder world should have to refuse. My lot is forever with my fellows of Earth! I will fight courageously with them and for them in the undying belief that the good in our hearts will triumph over evil. In the conviction that every human being upon Earth, trapped in eternity and granted only one small awareness of life at a time, will be liberated from our prison cells of unreality and attain again our high estate as liberated sons of God.

DWARKA, THE CITY THAT SANK

By Ramesh Gune
India Abroad

Dr. S. R. Rao is convinced that the Indian epics and Puranas are not myth but historical facts. And the 66 year old ranking archeologist of India asserts that the legendary Lord Krishna and Arjuna, and the Mahbharata, existed in reality.

A student of the Mahbharata, Rao embarked eight years ago on a mission that in the end turned out to be the discovery of the ancient city of Dwarka, the capital of Lord Krishna’s kingdom, which sank in the Arabian sea.

The sholokas, or verses, in the Mahabharata that declared that the city of Dwarka would be submerged by a tidal wave was the inspiration for Rao to begin his underwater journey in the Gulf of Kutch.

“The new discovery has enabled historians and archeologists to re-examine the epics and Puranas and establish the historical facts” Rao - an emeritus scientist at the National Institute of Oceanography said in a recent interview with India Abroad.

He was in the United Stated to give a series of lectures at the University of California, Los Angeles, on underwater archeological investigations in India, with special reference to the discovery of Dwarka. That discovery, by Rao’s 15-member mission, was praised by the government of India and the Indian news media. The Department of Science and Technology described it as a “discovery of the century that has opened up new fields of research in the ocean.”

Rao was featured on Indian television programs, and major Indian news magazines played his achievement in a big way.

He said a controversy describing the Mahabharata as an exaggeration of a family feud, leading to a war, and making a mythical figured called Krishna, was what prompted him to undertake the investigation.

“I wanted to prove the Dwarka is the legendary abode of Lord Krishna,” he said, adding that “an incident gave me an opportunity to go ahead in my plans of excavation.”

In 1979, he said, he demolished a modern two story building obstructing the view of the famous temple of Dwarkadhish in the present city of Dwarka.

And to everyone’s surprise, he said, a beautiful temple of Vishnu assignable to the ninth century A.D. was uncovered. Its roof was damaged by the sea, he reported, but the walls and plinth were preserved by the sand deposits.

The finding, he said, provided an incentive to probe lower levels of the sea to trace any earlier remains of the temple and townships. Further excavation by the digging of four trenches brought to light the remains of two more temples. The lower one was dated to the first century B.C., and the upper one to the second and fourth centuries A.D.

Deeper digging of up to 40 feet exposed the debris of a proto-historic settlement in which a distinct pottery known as lustrous redware was also found, he said. The same kind of pottery was found at another Mahabharata site on the southern coast of Somanath, he added.

The wave-rolled pottery suggested that the proto-historic settlement of Dwarka was destroyed by the sea.

According to Rao, there is a mention in the Mahabharata of a possible tidal wave that would swallow the entire city of Dwarka. “Those people were scientists; moreover they knew astrophysics, astrology and astronomy. They predicted the fate of Dwarka considering the star conjunction and its relation to the sea level.

“This unambiguous archeological evidence on shore,” - the finding of the pottery - “increased the possibility of finding the remains of the submerged city of Dwarka.”

The major discoveries of 1.5 kilometers seaward of Dwarka are the inner and outer fort walls of the city with a gateway complex flanked by bastions built on a boulder packing. One gateway led to the sea and the inner one to the River Gomati. A stony jetty where ships used to be berthed was also found along with triangular three-holed anchors near the base of the jetty.

OTHER DISCOVERIES

Other things discovered during the investigation were prismatic-shaped anchors, pottery datable to 1500 B.C, two bronze arches (prabhavali) or frames of chariots, a marble statue belonging to the early historic period and parts of a boat wreck of the medieval period.
________________

I have the book Mahabharata so I looked up references to Dwarka and sure enough I found several. This was a real place and the ocean rose and it sank. Here is one:

"May thy sons' success and triumph cheer a widowed mother's heart,
Grant me leave, Oh noble lady! for to Dwarka I depart."

And another:

Pious Krishna mounts the chariot, fondly greets his friends once more,
Leaves blue Jumna's sacred waters for his Dwarka's dear-loved shore."

And lastly: Yet thou partest, sinless Krishna, dearest, best beloved friend,
And to Dwarka's sea-washed mansions Krishna must his footsteps bend!"
