Gateways into Other Worlds--Where are They NOW?

In very ancient times, were there gateways on Earth that led into other worlds? And if so, where were they, and can they be found or reconstructed? Listen as William Henry and Annke Koreman discuss this subject, and she shares her research in Egypt and southern France in search of these gateways and the lost secrets of a very different Christianity that was eradicated by the Roman church.

Visitors, Humans: the Choir of One

Thursday March 19, 2015

How do we define orbs? Does abduction hypnosis create a de facto hero's journey? Do you right now exist as a whole entity broken up into dimensions, whose attention may only exist in one at a time? Is visitor phenomena really one waking oneself up to this?

What was supposed to be a roundtable discussion of past episodes becomes a free-for-all discussion that narrows in on the single most pressing question of all: What are we?

A Close Encounter or a Visitation?

A Close Encounter or a Visitation?

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to cite the work of Juan José (J.J.) Benítez with regard to the Fuentecén robot, information taken from what I consider to be one of the finest and best-written ufology books in Spanish, La Quinta Columna (The Fifth Column), published by Barcelona’s Editorial Planeta in 1990, just as interest in the UFO/extraterrestrial/paranormal field was rekindling worldwide. Aside from presenting fascinating follow-ups on events that made the pages of Spain’s regional press (some of them even making it to the hallowed pages of Flying Saucer Review), Benítez injected a great human element into his search, turning witnesses of the impossible and the incredible into living, breathing beings whose photos and stories reminds us that ufology is the study of the human element, as the non-human element is beyond our reach, perhaps forever, if certain theories hold true.

Citing the Fuentecén case prompted me to re-read the book, coming up with cases that are no less astonishing now than when Benítez toured the Iberian Peninsula on his round of interviews. One of them clearly comes from that border realm that we’ve come to know as high strangeness, although the believer in ETs will ascribe it to space aliens, the paranormalist to ghosts or elementals, and the contactee as visitations by the kind space brothers.

On page 147 of the 1990 edition, the author mentions the following story, told to him by an anonymous experiencer who had been a soldier – the experience had been sufficient to turn him away from the profession of arms.

“It happened in 1980. Around August 15, approximately. We were traveling from Madrid to Asturias. In passing through the province of León we stopped in an area with castles. We had tents with us – “Canadian type” – and decided to set up camp in that lonely area. A river runs through this beautiful place. We had dinner and went to sleep around eleven o’clock in the evening,” says the anonymous source.

“I shared one of the tents,” he continued, “with my wife and sister-in-law, but we found it hard to sleep. Something abnormal was happening to us, or was perhaps happening in our surroundings. In any event, everything lit up in the small hours of the morning. It was amazing: the night vanished and the place became as bright as is if lit by the midday sun.

“Almost at once, a human head started forming in mid-air. And we felt fear. Indescribable terror. Yet I’m not sure if you’ll be able to understand us: at the same time that we were overcome by this sense of anguish and fear, another feeling manifested itself, as real and powerful as the previous one. As the “head” acquired shape, we were invaded by a strange “wave” of peace. The entity kept materializing in the air until it achieved complete and full definition. This is also curious: its “materialization” appeared to be subject to the degree that we were willing to accept the phenomenon. It’s so hard to describe!

“It was a man. That much was evident. But a three meter tall “man”, seemingly middle aged, perhaps forty-five years old. His tanned features were perfect. I don’t know what the standards of beauty are, but that guy had it in spades. I’ve never seen anything like it. His long hair had a whitish hue to it, and his blue eyes stood out from the rest of his face. He didn’t wear any insignia, weapons or anything similar. He irradiated peace and trust. As he spoke, he moved his arms, and speak he did. His words were the key to changing the path we were on, and our philosophy of life, one hundred eighty degrees. The shock of it all made me want to go off with him, but when he said farewell, he made a ‘calm down’ gesture with his hand, and vanished in seconds, taking the brightness with him. Everything recovered its normal rhythm. Everything except us, of course.”

The author goes on to add that the encounter had the effect of making these people reconsider the existence of ‘other paths’ than the one they were following, and from that moment on, they became part of the peace movement.

Readers would be right to dismiss this as just another anecdote from the nebulous world of the paranormal, as there is no evidence beyond trust in the words of the spokesman for a group of campers. To others, however, it may be a reminder of the fact that non-human forces have always been in our midst since the distant past, and that such subjective experiences are likely to be taking place somewhere on Earth, even as these words are typed, or as your eyes read them.

Un eclipse de Sol inaugura la primavera

Entre las 9 y las 11:30 de la mañana de este viernes, el mismo día que comienza la primavera, la Luna se interpondrá entre la Tierra y el Sol. En esas horas se producirá un eclipse solar parcial visto desde España, aunque será total en latitudes más al norte, como las islas islas Svalbard y Feroe, donde Sinc recogerá la señal que transmitan los astrónomos del proyecto GLORIA. En nuestro país, el fenómeno tendrá mayor magnitud en Galicia, pero se han organizado observaciones en todo el territorio. Solo la lluvia y los cielos nublados pueden deslucir este espectáculo astronómico.

Anonymous No More – Now Where, No How!

Everywhere we go, we leave little traces of ourselves behind. The strand of hair, the wad of gum, the cigarette butt, nail clipping, or puddle of spittle. And all of these negligible bits and pieces that we so casually or unknowingly discard, contain our genetic information.

Doctoral student Heather Dewey-Hagborg, who is completing her degree in electronic art at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, wanted to find out just how much of ourselves we are potentially revealing through this personal debris. So she began collecting these nasty little leave-behinds, and found that, “the more I walked around the city, the more I saw these genetic artifacts everywhere I looked.”

Bienvenido a un carnaval diferente a todo lo que alguna vez haya leído, visitado o siquiera imaginado antes. Aquí, delante sus propios ojos, se encontrará con criaturas extrañas, anómalas, inconcebibles… una verdadera colección de animales salvajes de los misterios criptozoológicos para deslumbrar y deleitar, tentar y aterrorizar. Esto es Mirabilis, un reino de maravillas, prodigios, milagros… y ¡monstruos!

Mirar a través de las sombras y ve lo que puede ser real. ¿Qué hay de la araña del tamaño de un cachorro? ¿De ese tronco caído de repente brotan un par de mandíbulas de cocodrilo? ¿Esas flores como por arte de magia extienden alas y vuelan como aves pequeñas?

He aquí a Trunko, el extraño hibrido elefante/oso marino peludo que supuestamente luchó contra orcas en la costa de Sudáfrica hace casi un siglo. Mire a su alrededor en todas direcciones y presencie el último de los lémures gigantes traído para usted desde las selvas tropicales de Madagascar, el mismo unicornio que una vez encontró Julio César, cocodrilos y dinosaurios de gran tamaño provenientes de los pantanos del Congo, el sukotyro de Sumatra armado de colmillo arpón, castores prehistóricos gigantescos resucitados en la actual América del Norte, elusivas liebres cornudas germánicas y esquivos micro-ardillas liberianas, un caracol de mar gigante con cuernos y patas del mar de Sarmatian y una ballena/pez de un lago sueco olvidado, un desaparecido corcel a rayas de Iberia, enormes tiburones de agua dulce sin dientes de América del Sur, las tortugas procedentes de China… dragones de mar y pseudo-pterodáctilos alados, y el único conocido megalopedus cornudo…

No nos detenemos ni un momento más. Los milagros y las maravillas de Mirabilis te esperan con impaciencia en el interior, para brillar, hechizar, y embrutecer tus sentidos. Así que te doy la bienvenida, y rezo para que su visita a este carnaval de la criptozoología y la historia natural sea entretenido… ¡y no demasiado peligroso!

Cripto Libros: Anomalist books

Dos nuevos y esenciales libros de esta editorial americana:

Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster

El Hombre Lagarto: La historia real del monstruo de Bishopville

Lyle Blackburn

Tapa blanda 208 páginas

Anomalistbooks

Marzo 2013

Inglés

De los pantanos cerca de Bishopville, Carolina del Sur, llegan informes de un humanoide de dos metros de altura, criatura aterradora y escamosa que los lugareños llaman el “hombre lagarto”. Con los años, la criatura ha sido visto por numerosos testigos, entre ellos un adolescente que afirmó que lo atacó una noche cerca de una zona remota llamada pantano Scape Ore. El testimonio del joven y la evidencia física era tan convincente, que no sólo puso en marcha una investigación seria por parte del sheriff local, sino una caza sin cuartel del monstruo que atrajo a cientos de personas a la pequeña ciudad.

Esta contemporánea “criatura de la laguna negra” ha desatado una gran cobertura de noticias nacionales, incluso una llamada de la famosa presentadora de noticias de la cadena americana CBS, Dan Rather, ya que él y el resto del mundo clamaba saber más sobre el escurridizo monstruo de Bishopville. El caso se menciona a menudo en libros, sitios web y programas de televisión, pero la historia nunca se ha contado… hasta ahora. Este libro proporciona documentación sin precedentes para uno de los casos más extraños y espeluznantes sobre la desconocida criatura. Los testigos están convencidos de que la han visto, y la policía local los respalda. Esta es su increíble historia.

Acompañe a Lyle Blackburn, autor del exitoso libro “La Bestia de Boggy Creek”, y a su pareja, Cindy Lee, revisitar los lugares de avistamiento, hablar con los testigos vivos y considerar todas las teorías posibles en su búsqueda de la verdad detrás del legendario Hombre Lagarto.
