didn´t the freemasons in new york put ads in the paper for new members? i`m not so sure they are all that secret anymore. the other group are still strange though. were they once just a group of skilled stonecutters or something like that? the illuminati are all over the place with weird symbols, its like they are trying to remind us they are watching----dollar bills-----

Here is some stuff about Roswell to chew on: ----The day after the storm, Brazel (Ranch owner) headed back into the pastures to check for any damage. He was startled to find a large debris field. The debris seemed strange to him. He took some of the strange materials to a nearby neighbor who urged him to report his find. After talking to the Roswell, N. M. authorities, he is questioned by the local radio station reporter Frank Joyce, who also reports the Brazel find to Roswell Army Airforce Base. The information is relayed to Intelligence Officer Jesse Marcel Sr. Accompanied by a security officer, Marcel meets with Brazel, and the debris field is examined. Marcel is equally confused by the find, and loads the debris up, taking some of it to his house. His son, Jesse Jr. vividly recalled the strange properties of the material his father brought home that night. Colonel William "Butch" Blanchard ordered the debris field cordoned off, and began the investigation. On July 8th, Blanchard ordered the release of a press statement. Lt Walter Haut would write the famous story confirming the Air Force had a "flying disc" in it's possession. Shortly, the statement would be corrected, the saucer was now a weather balloon. Major Edwin Easley was ordered to shut off all roads to the crash site, and blackout information from the crash field. The debris was removed and flown to Eighth Air Force Headquarters in Ft. Worth, Texas, under the command of General Roger Ramey. Colonel Dubose in Houston receives a phone call from a "very high" authority ordering him to devise a cover-up story. The weather balloon cover is created. Marcel Sr. would later state that the material he brought from New Mexico was switched with other so-called balloon material. The photographs were taken by James Bond Johnson. Meanwhile, back at Roswell, Mortician Glen Dennis of the Ballard Funeral Home is contacted by Roswell for 4 "hermetically" sealed coffins that would fit children. According to Marcel, the debris was "strewn over a wide area, I guess maybe three-quarters of a mile long and a few hundred feet wide." Scattered in the debris were small bits of metal that Marcel held a cigarette lighter to, to see if it would burn. "I lit the cigarette lighter to some of this stuff and it didn't burn", he said. Along with the metal, Marcel described weightless I-beam-like structures that were 3/8" x 1/4", none of them very long, that would neither bend nor break. Some of these I-beams had indecipherable characters along the length, in two colors. Marcel also described metal debris the thickness of tin foil that was indestructible. After gathering enough debris to fill his staff car, Maj. Marcel decided to stop by his home on the way back to the base so that he could show his family the unusual debris. He'd never seen anything quite like it. "I didn't know what we were picking up. I still don't know what it was...it could not have been part of an aircraft, not part of any kind of weather balloon or experimental balloon...I've seen rockets... sent up at the White Sands Testing Grounds. It definitely was not part of an aircraft or missile or rocket." Throughout his lifetime Jesse Marcel maintained that what crashed at Roswell in 1947 was no weather balloon. He stated just before his death in a video taped interview "what crashed was not from this world".
crap!! they had Her Majesty's Secret Service involved in this deal too?? Nice try James, adding the Johnson to the end...we all know who you are!!!
Haut is the uncle of an acquaintance of mine here in NC. She has talked extensively with him about this. Those things were not of this world. Wish I could sit with him for half a day.
How about the mystery of the Anasazi Native Americans: Scientific American introduces us to the accomplishments of the Anasazi. We will concentrate here on their road system, but cannot let a few general statistics go by unnoticed. Of the nine Great Houses of the Anasazi in Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico, Pueblo Bonito is the best studied. It covers three acres and once rose to at least five stories, with some 650 rooms. Constructed of tightly fitting sandstone blocks, each Great House required tens of millions of cut sandstone slabs. For floors, the Anasazi carried logs from forests 80 kilometers away. The Chaco Canyon Great Houses required about 215,000 trees -- quite a problem in transportation. Strangely enough, the Great Houses seem to have been used only occasionally. In fact, Chaco Canyon was too poor agriculturally to support a large, permanent community. If this is so, what was the purpose of the Great Houses with their many kivas (large circular pits)? Obviously, they were for "ceremonial purposes" -- the standard explanation for enigmatic buildings and artifacts. The Anasazi also built a marvelous system of roads leading to Chaco Canyon. The accompanying map reveals hundreds of miles of roads converging from all directions on Chaco Canyon. For long distances, these roads measure a uniform 9 meters wide. They are flanked by linear mounds of earth and are impressively straight. The Great North Road, for example, runs true north for almost 50 kilometers. What was the purpose of these roads?. One theory is that they helped channel people to Chaco Canyon for the supposed ceremonies. But why does one need a 9-meter-wide road for a sparse population? And why did the Anasazi suddenly leave all this behind? Some of the Anasazi roads and projected roads leading to Chaco Canyon. Nine Great Houses are located in the Canyon proper; more are scattered along the road. (Lekson, Stephen H., et al; "The Chaco Canyon Community," Scientific American, 259:100, July 1988.)
So has anyone here read The Mothman Prophecies? What do you think of it? For those of you who only saw the movie, it's really nothing like the book. Here's an excerpt from another book about the same subject: <i>The wire service ticker was spitting out the bulletin… Location: Point Pleasant, West Virginia Dateline: November 15, 1966 Two young couples reported to Mason County sheriff’s department tonight they have had a curious encounter with a monster. “It was shaped like a man, but bigger. Maybe six and a half or seven feet tall. And it had big wings folded on its back,” eyewitness Roger Scarberry told Deputy Millard Halstead. Roger’s wife, Linda finished his thought: “But it was those eyes that got us. It had two big red eyes, like automobile reflectors.” The Scarberrys and another couple, Steve and Mary Mallete, had seen something strange at the abandoned World War II ammunition dump, known locally as the TNT area. “For a minute we could only stare at it. Then it just turned and sort of shuffled towards the open door of the old power plant. We didn’t wait around.” Roger continued. Thus began America’s first notice of a series of sightings of a strange something that would be quickly named “Mothman.” A month after the publicity began, a journalist innocently showed up in town to live among the locals, hoping to understand what was happening. During the next thirteen months, he would make five trips to Point Pleasant, staying for many weeks scrutinizing the case. The investigator’s name is John A. Keel. His experiences appeared in a series of articles and in his book on the subject, The Mothman Prophecies.</i>
Anybody every heard of this guy? www.infowars.com This guy is dead serious about the NWO/Police State etc. He's got a show on access TV here in Houston.
He still lives in New Mexico, so she doesn't see him frequently. She had talked with him extensively about the events and he is quite certain that the craft was alien and so were the beings! Maybe I'll give her a call and get an update. As I recall, Haut has written a book on the subject... or was working on one. This conversation with my friend dates back 8-10 years.
Overlooked pieces of evidence of an ancient advanced society... Can all these maps be lucky guesses? Who knows, but this is an interesting artifact along with strong supporting evidence that it is not a hoax... Piri Reis Map (1513) Introduction In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle skin. Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century. The Controversy The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri Reis managed to draw such an accurate map of the Antarctic region 300 years before it was discovered, but that the map shows the coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC. The question is: Who mapped the Queen Maud Land of Antarctic 6000 years ago? Which unknown civilization had the technology or the need to do that? In 1953, a Turkish naval officer sent the Piri Reis map to the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Bureau. To evaluate it, M.I. Walters, the Chief Engineer of the Bureau, called for help Arlington H. Mallery, an authority on ancient maps, who had previously worked with him. After a long study, Mallery discovered the projection method used. To check out the accuracy of the map, he made a grid and transferred the Piri Reis map onto a globe: the map was totally accurate. He stated that the only way to draw map of such accuracy was the aerial surveying: but who, 6000 years ago, could have used airplanes to map the earth? The Hydrographic Office couldn't believe what they saw: they were even able to correct some errors in the present days maps. The precision on determining the longitudinal coordinates, on the other hand, shows that to draw the map it was necessary to use the spheroid trigonometry, a process supposedly not know until the middle of 18th century. Hapggod had sent his collection of ancient maps (we will see the Piri reis map was not the only one...) to Richard Strachan, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Hapggod wanted to know exactly the mathematical level needed in order to draw the original source maps. Strachan answered in 1965, saying that the level had to be very high. In fact Strachan said that in order to draw such maps, the authors had to know about the spheroid trigonometry, the curvature of the earth, methods of projection; knowledge that is of a very high level. The way the Piri Reis map shows the Queen Maud land, its coastlines, its rivers, mountain ranges, plateaus, deserts, bays, has been confirmed by a British-Swedish expedition to Antarctic ( as said by Olhmeyer in his letter to Hapggod); the researchers, using sonar and seismic soundings, indicated that those bays and rivers etc, were underneath the ice-cap, which was about one mile thick. In fact Piri Reis himself admitted he based his map on older charts; and those older charts had been used as sources by others who have drawn different maps still of great precision. Impressive is the "Dulcert's Portolano", year 1339, where the latitude of Europe and North Africa is perfect, and the longitudinal coordinates of the mediterranean and of the Black sea are approximated of half degree. An even more amazing chart is the "Zeno's chart", year 1380. It shows a big area in the north, going up till the Greenland; Its precision is flabbergasting. "It's impossible" says Hapgood "that someone in the fourteenth century could have found the exact latitudes of these places, not to mention the precision of the longitudes..." Another amazing chart is the one drawn by the Turkish Hadji Ahmed, year 1559, in which he shows a land stripe, about 1600 Km. wide, that joins Alaska and Siberia. Such a natural bridge has been then covered by the water due to the end of the glacial period, which rose up the sea level. Oronteus Fineus was another one who drew a map of incredible precision. He too represented the Antarctic with no ice-cap, year 1532. There are maps showing Greenland as two separated islands, as it was confirmed by a polar French expedition which found out that there is an ice cap quite thick joining what it is actually two islands. As we saw, many charts in the ancient times pictured, we might say, all the earth geography. They seem to be pieces of a very ancient world wide map, drawn by unknown people who were able to use technology that we consider to be a conquer of the very modern times. When human beings were supposed to live in a primitive manner, someone "put on paper" the whole geography of the earth. And this common knowledge somehow fell into pieces, then gathered here and there by several people, who had lost though the knowledge, and just copied what they could find in libraries, bazaars, markets and about all kind of places. Hapggod made a disclosure which amazingly lead further on this road: he found out a cartographic document copied by an older source carved on a rock column, China, year 1137. It showed the same high level of technology of the other western charts, the same grid method, the same use of spheroid trigonometry. It has so many common points with the western ones that it makes think more than reasonably, that there had to be a common source: could it be a lost civilization, maybe the same one which has been chased by thousands years so far?
I wonder if I can get into the Stonecutters? Remaking the Masons for the 21st century proves a challenging task Saturday, Jun 21, 2003 TORONTO (CP) - As far as frat groups go, they're not exactly what anyone would describe as "with it." In fact, they can't even be called refreshingly retro, since their ancient rituals date back to the Industrial Revolution. The Freemasons are old and their ancient traditions are threatening to keep them that way, fear leaders of the secret society who say it's time to lift the veil on closely guarded rituals and start luring young recruits. "The World War II veterans that swelled the ranks of Freemasons are starting to die off," bemoans Stephen Dafoe, an Alberta Mason who writes books and edits an Internet newsletter about the men's group. With the average age of Canadian Masons hovering in the mid-60s, the danger of the secret society dying off has grand masters doing what was previously unthinkable - placing recruitment ads in newspapers and forming public relations divisions for tactics on how to sell Masons to a new generation. What it is exactly that recruits are made to study is still closely guarded. However, the original "Secrets of Masonry" are likely nothing more than building trade secrets and passwords that took the place of union dues cards when the fraternity formed in 1717 England. In a recent TV cartoon parody, Homer Simpson joins the "Stonecutters" and learns they keep the metric system down, the existence of aliens under wraps and Steve Guttenberg's acting career afloat. Dafoe says real Masons more likely keep busy organizing charity efforts, golf tournaments and family picnics. It's not easy keeping up with the times - or even this century - when 300-year-old traditions demand members preserve rituals and ceremonies dating back to the industrial age. Despite the push to include young initiates, today's secret meetings still kick it 18th century-style to maintain ritual authenticity and each lodge's links to other chapters around the world, says Dafoe. But the unwritten rule in which Masons are forbidden from inviting non-Masons to join is softening, says Dafoe. © The Canadian Press, 2003 http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=canada_home&articleID=1350573
I have trouble believing people would mistake test dummies/pilots for aliens 12-29 (1959-1976) years after the fact. How could someone mistake something they saw in 1976 for something they saw in 1947? This report just adds fuel to the fire, it was originally made in 1997. Air Force Details a New Theory in U.F.O. Case A Suggestion That Dead 'Aliens' Were Test Dummies By WILLIAM J. BROAD The New York Times Company Copyright 2003 No bodies. No bulbous heads. No secret autopsies. No spaceship. No crash. No extraterrestrials or alien artifacts of any sort. And most emphatically of all, no Government cover-up. The Air Force yesterday made public its latest report on the famous 1947 incident in the New Mexico desert near the town of Roswell that is at the heart of claims by flying-saucer fans that extraterrestrials have visited Earth and that has become a celebrated part of American popular culture. The report, in voluminous detail, says the supposed mountain of evidence about aliens is a mirage. Just as old sightings of squids and whales spawned tales of sea monsters, so too, the Air Force says, the shadowy doings of brave fliers, high-altitude balloons, lifelike crash dummies and saucerlike craft in the southeastern New Mexico desert at the dawn of the space age were glimpsed and embellished over the decades into false evidence of aliens. For instance, one serviceman who crashed in a test balloon 10 miles northwest of Roswell suffered an injury that caused his head to swell and resemble the bulbous cranium of the classic science-fiction alien, the report says. This secretive 1959 mishap, it adds, apparently led decades later to tales of a crashed extraterrestrial that walked under its own power into a military hospital. So, too, dummies were routinely dropped from balloons to test parachutes and were sometimes lost in the desert and disfigured in suggestive ways, their hands often missing a finger. A distinguishing characteristic of the aliens supposedly sighted near Roswell, the report notes, is four fingers. Some critics fault the Government for addressing the topic of alien visitations, dismissing it as ludicrous. But other experts say the United States' obsession with unidentified flying objects has never been greater and praise efforts to combat what they view as a dangerous mania. They note the recent suicides of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult, who believed an alien spaceship passing near Earth would take them to an ethereal paradise. Not surprisingly, true believers in Roswell are unshaken, seeing the new report as evidence of the most egregious Government cover-up of all time. 'This is the biggest story of the millennium, a visit to the Earth by extraterrestrial spacecraft and the cover-up of the best evidence, the bodies and the wreckage, for 50 years,' said Stanton T. Friedman, who has written about the Roswell incident and who is to be a featured speaker at the upcoming gala. In an interview, Mr. Friedman accused the Air Force of false reasoning, selective use of data and lying. 'The evidence is overwhelming that planet Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial spacecraft,' said Mr. Friedman, who lives in New Brunswick, Canada, and whose 1992 book, 'Crash at Corona,' is in its sixth printing. (Corona is a village near the purported crash site.) Critics of the new report bridle at its main thesis: that civilians are confusing military activities that took place over more than a decade and falsely recalling them as a single incident. Such memory failures, critics say, are highly unlikely. But the Air Force says the witnesses are often recalling events more than four decades old and could have easily mixed up the dates. Joseph W. Kittinger Jr., a retired Air Force colonel who was much decorated for his pioneering jumps from balloons high over the New Mexican desert, praised the report as exhaustive and overdue. 'I'm insulted at how this fraud has been perpetrated and delighted that the Air Force has taken it on,' Colonel Kittinger said in an interview. The much-debated incident took place on a desolate stretch of desert that was surrounded by several secret military bases. Increasingly, the site or sites (the faithful disagree on its exact location) are today ringed by tourist attractions that play on the extraterrestrial theme. More than 100,000 sky watchers and conspiracy theorists are expected to visit Roswell for a celebration of the incident's 50th anniversary during the first week of July. Festivities are to include a soapbox derby of homemade alien vehicles. The hullabaloo got started in July 1947 when a ranch foreman, W. W. Brazel, found strange, shiny material littering the ground. Mr. Brazel gave it to the sheriff, who turned it in to the military authorities at the nearby air base. On July 8, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a news release about the crash of a flying disk, prompting a newspaper, The Roswell Daily Record, to run an article under the headline: 'R.A.A.F. Captures Flying Saucer.' Military officials retreated the next day, calling the curious debris merely a downed weather balloon. With that, the matter was largely forgotten until the late 1970's with the birth of what eventually became a small industry of experts, books, articles and television shows recounting alien visitations and conspiracy theories. Under growing pressure from true believers and curious Congressmen, the Air Force in February 1994 began to investigate just what took place many decades ago. A 23-page report made public in September 1994 said the silvery wreckage in the desert had been part of a top-secret system of atomic espionage. That admission made the 1947 story about a weather balloon a white lie. Carried into the atmosphere by balloon, the spy sensors listened for weak reverberations from Soviet nuclear blasts half a world away. But the 1994 report said nothing about extraterrestrial beings, who in various accounts of the Roswell crash number between two and eight, dead and sometimes alive. The silence arose because the Air Force found nothing in the balloon saga to account for the reports of aliens, so it ignored the topic at the time and only later came up with a detailed and intriguing explanation. The new Roswell report, titled 'Case Closed,' was written by Capt. James McAndrew, an intelligence officer assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force's Declassification and Review Team. Its 231 pages are designed to go beyond the 1994 report by revealing more about Federal work in the desert and examining what apparently inspired sightings of not only alien artifacts but of the extraterrestrials themselves. In places it is grim. For instance, it describes the crash of a KC-97G military plane near Roswell that killed 11 fliers, leaving their bodies badly burned and reeking of fuel. The stench was so foul that identification work at the Roswell air base was moved from the small hospital to the commissary, which had a large refrigerator. The Air Force report suggests that this crash, recalled decades later by a civilian who visited the air base and talked to workers there, prompted his account of small, black, mangled, dead aliens who smelled so bad that their autopsies were moved from the base hospital to a place better suited to the dissections. This civilian, W. Glenn Dennis, has been called the 'star witness' of the Roswell incident. Mr. Dennis is president of the International U.F.O. Museum and Research Center, which was founded in 1991 in Roswell. The new Air Force report focuses on military work and accidents from 1947 to 1976 and says many of the claims about extraterrestrials are based on faulty memories and, in fact, are pieced together from military work that took place over many years. The finding of shiny wreckage in 1947, it says, 'was the first of many unrelated events now collectively known as the 'Roswell Incident.' ' The desert work focused on the development of spy gear and high-altitude escape systems. Starting in 1950, for instance, balloons rising as high as 19 miles dropped dozens of lifelike dummies to perfect parachutes for pioneering pilots, including those in the X-15 rocket plane and the U-2 spy plane. The dummies landed all over the New Mexico desert, and several were lost. The report quotes one witness as saying of the Roswell aliens, 'I thought they were plastic dolls.' Starting in 1957, test pilots began to join the dummies in bailing out at high altitudes, culminating in Colonel Kittinger's 1960 leap from a balloon nearly 20 miles up, which remains the highest parachute jump ever. At times this human research was also quite suggestive of aliens. A balloon flight in 1959 ended in an accident that caused Capt. Dan D. Fulgham's helmet to shatter and his head to swell. His eyes became mere slits in a puffy face. He was taken to the Roswell base with a high-security escort and was eventually transferred to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for treatment. The new Air Force report says this accident probably accounts for reports of an alien that walked into a Roswell air base hospital under its own power, and of the shipment of aliens to the Wright-Patterson base, where, according to Roswell lore, they underwent close scrutiny. The report also tells of other activity in New Mexico that conceivably was mistaken for extraterrestrial craft. A V-shaped balloon flown in 1965 bears a striking resemblance to the sketch of an alien spacecraft drawn by an anonymous witness. And the report notes that desert balloons between 1966 and 1972 lifted and dropped mock interplanetary probes. The program was designed to aid space agency research, but to the untrained eye the probes looked like flying saucers. 'The incomplete and inaccurate intermingling' of actual events, the report concludes, over the decades has resulted in a 'sensational story' about aliens crashing in the desert at Roswell. But the tale 'cannot withstand close scrutiny when compared to official records.' It seems unlikely that the Air Force report will end the debate between the Federal Government and flying-saucer fans. If anything, as the 50th anniversary of the Roswell incident draws near, the subject is likely to become as hot as the smoking wreckage of an alien spaceship. 'The arguments of the critics collapse of their own weight,' said Mr. Friedman, the Roswell author, who added that he had not yet read the new Air Force report. 'I hope it doesn't have as many lies as the previous one.' Aliens' on the Ground' The Air Force says that what many witnesses believed to be aliens were just dummies used in a program to test parachutes. The dummies were dropped from high-altitude balloons over an area of southern New Mexico. Alien or Test Dummy? Eyewitness descriptions of aliens. EYES Gerald Anderson 'His eyes was open, staring blankly.' 'No visible ears . . . just a rise there and then a hole.' 'Their skin coloration . . . a bluish-tinted milky white.' Vern Maltais FINGERS 'They didn't have a little finger.' 'They had four fingers.' The dummies were often damaged from the drops. CLOTHING 'They looked like they had some sort of bandages on 'em . . . over his arm, around his midsection and partially over his shoulder.' In some tests, the arms and legs of the dummies were secured with tape and nylon webbing. Parachute-Testing Program Fueled the Rumors The parachute-testing program probably contributed to alien theories because the dummies were not always recovered immediately; some were never found. This increased the chance that non-military personnel might have come across one and misidentified it. 'What Aliens? A 2-Part Explanation' Believers call it the Roswell incident: an alien crash-landing in the New Mexico desert in the summer of 1947, followed by a diabolical Air Force cover-up. The Air Force released a 231-page report yesterday intended to debunk claims of alien sightings. These pictures and diagrams lay out the basics of its case. JUNE 1947: THE INCIDENT A secret Air Force experiment leaves debris 75 miles northwest of Roswell which is mistaken for debris from an alien spacecraft. 'Aliens' At the Hospital The star witness for believers in an alien landing, the Air Force says, was W. Glenn Dennis, a 22-year-old mortician in 1947, who claimed that the Air Force recovered alien bodies and performed autopsies on them. The report says his accounts clearly refer to events that happened years after 1947, and to people who were there years later. People From Another Time After matching key people in Mr. Dennis's account to personnel who served in Roswell, the Air Force found only one who was there at the time of the incident. The missing nurse 1st Lieut. Eileen M. Fanton Capt. 'Slats' Wilson Composite of two individuals: Capt. Lucille C. Slattery and Maj. Idabelle M. Wilson The pediatrician Capt. Frank B. Nordstrom 'Big Redheaded colonel' Col. Lee F. Ferrell Victims of Two Accidents Were Mistaken for Aliens *1 KC-97G Plane Crash, June 26, 1956 GRISLY AUTOPSY Mr. Dennis said a nurse at the base hospital told him she witnessed an autopsy on three very mangled, black little bodies. The Air Force says this was the part of the autopsy of the victims of the crash of a KC-97G plane. SUSPICIOUS CARGO WRECKAGE The Air Force says that items Mr. Dennis believed to be wreckage from an alien spacecraft in the back of military ambulances were actually equipment used in a parachute-testing program. 'HIEROGLYPHICS' -- Mr. Dennis described markings that looked like hieroglyphics. The Air Force says they were most likely poorly stenciled labels. *2 Manned Balloon Accident, May 21, 1959 LARGE-HEADED ALIEN The Air Force believes that the image of bulbous-headed aliens with slits for eyes, below, probably originated from sightings of Capt. Dan D. Fulgham, who was injured in a ballooning accident. He is shown at far right after blood was drained from his scalp. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0624.html#article
How about the mystery of the Anasazi Native Americans: I hate to answer my own question, but since this is about the third time I’ve randomly stumbled on info I was interested in-- I think its ESP or something. This article was in the July issue of the magazine, there are some interesting pictures at the Smithsonian website. Smithsonian Riddles of the Anasazi David Roberts The Anasazi, a civilization that arose as early as 1500 B.C., occupied the region now known as the Four Corners, where Utah Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet, for centuries. They built magnificent villages, such as Chaco Canyon's Pueblo Bonito, a tenth-century complex that was as many as five stories tall and contained 800 rooms. They laid 400 miles of roads, some of them 30 feet wide, across deserts and canyons. And into their architecture they built sophisticated astronomical observatories. For most of the long span of time the Anasazi occupied the region, they lived in the open or in easily accessible sites within canyons. But about 1250, many began constructing settlements high in the cliffs—settlements that offered defense and protection. We were facinated by the "how"--how the Anasazi had scaled the cliffs, let alone lived there. During our outings, we encountered ruins we weren't sure we could reach even with ropes and modern climbing gear. Toward the end of the 13th century, some cataclysmic event forced the Anasazi to flee those cliff houses and their homeland and to move south and east toward the Rio Grande and the Little Colorado River. Just what happened has been the greatest puzzle facing archaeologists. Today's Pueblo Indians have oral histories about the migration, but the details of these stories remain closely guarded secrets. Within the past decade, however, archaeologists have wrung from the pristine ruins new understandings about why the Anasazi left, and the picture that emerges is dark. It includes violence and warfare—even cannibalism—among the Anasazi themselves. "After about A.D. 1200, something very unpleasant happens," says University of Colorado archaeologist Stephen Lekson. "The wheels come off." http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues03/jul03/anasazi.html
Okay I have some tales to tell you guys. I live in Malaysia. We have a famous vacation spot, called the Genting Highlands. It is famous because of its casino. Anyway, there is one apartment complex for tourists, where the whole 13th (if I am not mistaken) floor is completely shutoff. It is not like tourists avoid that floor because of rumours, but it is the management that decides to shutoff the floor. Go figure. The next tale has something to do with some religious thing that some chinese (especially overseas chinese) practice. Chinese of the taoism always go to temples to pray. We often bring some food (like fruits, chicken, etc) as symbolic offerings for the gods. Most of us bring the food back home and will eat it. So, I have a friend whose mother has the ability to see ghosts (chinese call it the Yin Yang eye). She didn't went for the process (some ceremony) to "close" the eye. So when she goes to temples, she can see how the food are being "eaten" by some ghosts who take refuge in the temples. The scene must be very "not nice", since she never eat any of the food that had been offered. Sounds bizarre? Well, many people says that food that has been offered to gods, they become less tastefull, and decay faster. I haven't tried any experiment on it. Maybe next time I will buy some oranges, separate them into two groups and offer one group at the temple. And then see fast they decay compared to the other group of oranges.
Did anybody see "Larry King Live" on Tuesday night? The show was dedicated to The Roswell Incident. They had some of the principals or their descendants on the show: the mortician, Jesse Marcel's son, et al Deathbed confessions indicate that the AF's "story" is just that. One small detail that I thought quite interesting. The AF had a bounty in the area for weather ballons. Evidently, the AF offered the locals $25 for the return of a downed weather balloon-- so it's not like the locals didn't know what a weather balloon looked like.
Lots of stuff on Roswell lately: More Evidence of a Roswell Coverup? 30-Jun-2003 Steven Aftergood of Secrecy News writes that on July 28, 1995, the General Accounting Office published a report on the Roswell Incident that said all the Roswell records had been destroyed. Now it's been discovered that the CIA has destroyed the budget records for that period in Roswell also. The records were demanded by New Mexico Congressman Stuart Schiff, now deceased. The report found that "some of the records concerning Roswell activities had been destroyed" and that "there was no information available regarding when or under what authority the records were destroyed." In fact, all of the activity records for the Roswell Army Air Force Base between 1947 and 1952 had been destroyed, in direct violation of the law. No reason for the destruction of the records was ever found. Now, it turns out that the CIA's budget records for the same period are missing. These budget reports would have revealed details of budgetary allocations, including possible allocations involving Roswell or other UFO-related activity. In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking declassification of the intelligence budget totals from 1947 and 1948, the Central Intelligence Agency says that it cannot find this information. "We are unable to locate a document containing, or a series of documents from which we may deduce, the aggregate U.S. intelligence budget figure for Fiscal Year 1947," wrote Kathryn I. Dyer, CIA Information and Privacy Coordinator, in a June 27 letter to the Federation of American Scientists. Likewise, "We are unable to locate a document containing, or a series of documents from which we may deduce, the aggregate U.S. intelligence budget figure for Fiscal Year 1948." http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=2860
