  I meant structures which were built/carved to honor a leader, etc... All

these man made structures such as the carvings in Mount Rushmore, or statues 

such as the Statue of Liberty are built facing horizontally. I do not agree

with what many people say about the designs of insects and animals drawn in

the ground. I rather than strictly being used as a type of a caledar, I 

believe that these were also created to cummunicate with the 'gods' (in

other words, the aliens). Maybe they were just artwork for the 'gods', who 

knows. Anyway, the point is is that designs created so that they are visible

best from above generally aren't created to honor an individual or thing.

If this face was created by an intelligence, then it is likely that it

wasn't created as a monument to one of their leaders (unless of course

they have heavy trafic in this part of the universe and decided to create

a sort of inter-galactic landmark for their tourists). :-)

There is a book out now called "UFO Crash At Roswell" and I would recommend

it _most highly_. The authors are Kevin Randle, Capt, USAF-Ret and Don

Schmitt. Published by AVON and available in paperback. This book is a MUST

READ for anyone interested in finding out all the details. The book names

PLENTY of names.

 

This book,in my opinion, is the ~smoking gun~ that exposes the Govt COVERUP.

Good point Bill.  You should know just as much as anyone I suppose.

So far, I'm about half way through Randle and Schmitt's Roswell book,
and I would say this:

     Based on what is presented in the book, take witness A's testimony +
     witness B's testimony + witness C's testimony + ......
     (you get the picture), I would conclude that an alien craft had crashed.

Can peoples' testimony that you read in a book be taken as evidence?

I tried to state that I'm no expert in UFO matters.  Of course I don't
have any direct evidence!  I would not pretend that I'm an expert, and
I surely wouldn't spout off that "I know for sure".

I guess what you're trying to do is question the manner in which I
reach my own personal conclusions.  I would say that Vallee's Confrontations
book and the mentioned Roswell book are honest attempts to present evidence
that UFO's are for real.  Should I discount the evidence presented in
the books just because I don't have any direct, physical proof?

And about those "flimsy hearsay statements":  Are you very politely stating
that each of the witnesses making statements in these books are liars?
Are you attempting to very subtly de-bunk these books, and the reputable
authors who wrote them?

Mr Moore..it is plenty obvious to me that you haven't got a bloody clue!
 
Go get some books and do your research!!
 
I would most heartily recommend the Randle/Schmitt book, "UFO Crash
at Roswell" that just came out in paperback and published by AVON
books.
 
Not to mention that Stanton Friedman has been also working on this
for years...

We don't get much press about it here but it comes up every once and 
a while. Both adults and suffering from severe medical problems
(cancer, leukemia), the child has shown no medical problems yet.
The government still say's nothing happened. The also claim they
never had that many helicopters in this part of Texas at any time.

My guess is they (the military) were moving a craft from one site
to another with a helicopter escort and were spotted or maybe they 
were test flying it.

Earlier this week I requested a copy of the nine part series that
George Knapp did on the UFO research in the area known as S-4 on
the local military base.  Not one person mailed or posted in response.

I turned to the net because KLAS was unwilling to produce any more
video tape copies "due to overwhelming demand".  Didn't anybody 
on this news group get a copy?  Did anybody see this series?  Did it
ever really happen?!?

I would like to restart the discussion on this series.  I was really
starting to enjoy it, when it abruptly ended.  Did all of you who saw
this get erased like the fellow who worked at S-4?  I wonder...

Thanks in advance,

That's what this is all about isn't it?  We lay this stuff out on the net
to see if it can withstand the level of examination its going to get.

No, I don't think these witnesses are liars. I've been into this for a long,
long time and have come across all kinds of claims from credible people who
I believe are telling the truth.  As Vallee concludes in "Confrontations", 
these people have experienced something that cannot be explained.  I don't
accept the alien visitors theory but my mind is open.  I'm anxious to look 
at any evidence anyone puts forward but will do so with a critial eye.

In Roswell, we have a lot of investigation and proof that whatever happened  
is a military secret but none of that has moved the UFO claim forward even
one iota.  If you look at the "timeline" and "list of witnesses" in the 
Randall and Schmidt book and cross out everything that goes to show that
the military is keeping a secret as opposed to a UFO crash, you're left
with the following:

1. Fourteen credible witnesses, four with good technical backgrounds, who
   could not identify the debris.
2. Hearsay statements that Barnett told three people he had come across a
   crashed UFO.
3. Second hand hearsay about an unidentified source who said she too had
   seen the same thing.  This (along with other second hand hearsay) is
   what I meant by "flimsy."  Since it followed an NBC program about the
   Roswell crash, since its second hand, since its hearsay, since the
   source is not identified, this stuff is worthless.  
4. A medical clerk at Wright-Patterson who claims to have seen an alien
   corpse.
   
I think this all adds up to an interesting case that could stand more 
investigation but don't agree it constitutes proof a UFO crashed at Roswell.
In fact, if the UFO part of this case had been presented without the drama 
of a military cover-up, it wouldn't get a second thought.

The poster has about 6 different images with one showing the geometric
relationships between the structures.  We had speakers on this at
our Family of Light Network meeting the other evening.  They suggested
that there are encoded messages in the geometric relationships that
could lead to incredible break throughs.  They are hoping next years
Mars mission will bring back much clearer pictures for further
study.
They are looking for people to join their group to support the project
if anyone is interested let me know.
They are not directly associated with the address below.

One other thing I recently concluded.  The Pleiadians mention 
an early man advanced society buried under Anartica. 
I think the Mars Face/pyramids and this society are
connected. See my Pleiadian quote on the thread How life begin or 
something like that.

You are referring to the Andreasson Affair.  The MUFON investigator
was John Schussler(sp).  There are some books out about this case.
Also, you might contact MUFON for more information. Their address is
Walt Andrus, Director  103 Oldtowne Road  Seguin, Texas 78155.
Hope this helps.

Ed does claim that he was abducted as part of the difficulty he experienced 
with the aliens.  His case was studied by the late Dr. Dan Overlade, including 
video tapes made during his regression sessions with Dr. Overlade.  This whole 
mess is embroiled in controversy.  The reasons for this are numerous.  First, 
MUFON, the so-called "scientific UFO investigative organization," botched 
several things procedurally in their investigation.  It has also been alleged 
that the principle investigators took their own preconceived ideas about what 
UFOs are and forced it into the outcome of this case.  In all of the separate 
incidents where MUFON was involved heavily, not one of their investigators 
managed to photograph the object, even though they were in close proximity to 
the sightings, and around Ed.  The business with the model that was found is 
also extremely suspect, although there has been no decent reporting done of 
this find to my knowledge.  There are charges flying back and forth that 
someone planted the model to make Ed look like a hoaxer, and of course, Ed 
denies this charge completely.

What we have here are photographs that *are* too good to be true.  But, more 
than that, we have a well-known UFO organization, an optical physicist, a 
leading abduction researcher, and a host of other people advancing that this 
case represents contact from an extraterrestrial civilization, all without one 
shred of proof, other than photographs, which can't tell us anything.  In my 
opinion, it is not the photographs that are at issue here, it is the 
circumstances surrounding the way that they were arrived at, the person making 
the report, and the organization that was entrusted to do their job after 
several years of practice in collecting and analyzing data scientifically. 
Our organization approached Dr. Robert Nathan of JPL about these photographs, 
and he stated that he was almost certain that they were representative of 
trickery.

Zan Overall, a noted UFO researcher in California, has done an exhaustive 
study on Ed's background.  A couple of years prior to the Gulf Breeze fiasco, 
Ed used to entertain the neighborhood kids at his home.  He has a son and a 
daughter, and they used to conduct seances "for fun," which during the 
seances, Ed would take photographs (you got it, with a Polaroid) of the kids 
sitting in a circle chanting the 23rd Psalms backwards.  Allegedly, a "demon" 
would show up in the picture around the kid that was selected by this demon 
and it would follow this person around for the duration of the night.  He 
seriously frightened a girl one evening, who has later testified to this fact. 
Additionally, Ed made a statement to one of the guys in the crowd that he was 
going to do the "ultimate hoax" someday.  Of course, I just bet Ed didn't 
figure on this mess coming out of the past to haunt him, but it has, and the 
alleged "ghost" photo is making the rounds through the UFO community.  It 
sounds like the intent to hoax was present.

Bottom line...the UFO research community has been damaged by this whole mess. 
Why?  Because as the world watches, MUFON has begun a smear campaign against 
anyone who has taken a dissenting viewpoint of this case.  The Interntional 
Director told me that he was "tired of the trash that people were putting out 
about Gulf Breeze."  He has removed from administrative or staff duties, 
several noted researchers because they were not sold on Gulf Breeze.  Finally, 
MUFON and Dr. Bruce Maccabee accepted money from Ed Walters for their part in 
this case.  These funds were paid out of the book proceeds.  In a field where 
credibility is number one concern, it seems that there has been a very poor 
showing of this for the world to see.

Whatever Gulf Breeze represents, it is certain that it has nothing to do with 
UFOs.

Hope this helps.

Greetings down under!

I would just about bet that there is a lot of technology which we are becoming 
very familiar with that could have been gleaned from research such as the 
crash of 1947.
