ANCIENT STAR PICTURES By Laura Lee
Lascaux, France, 17,000 years ago: in star pictures of the Pleiades and the ecliptic Astronomer Frank Edge has not only found elaborate star pictures in a whole new medium, cave paintings, he's put them in a whole new time frame: the Stone Age.
B2: the American UFO? By Len Kasten
Everything Tony Gonsalves does, he does meticulously. His attention to painstaking detail was evident when he restored a classic 1965 Mustang, somehow tracking down every small original part. This effort resulted in a cover story in Mustang Monthly Magazine. Then there was the 30-foot sailboat that he built in his backyard. The variety of skills necessary to accomplish this feat included fiberglass molding, carpentry, marine architecture, metalworking, and sailmaking, to name just a few. It should be understood that Tony doesn't require a lot of time to acquire his new skills. Nor does he work unusually hard. He works smart, and he works fast. He brought these same capabilities, and the same intensity of purpose, to focus on the Stealth-B2 project.
Could the Ancients Fly? By David Childress
Throughout history there have been many common myths and legends of flying machines or devices, the familiar flying carpets of ancient Arabia; Biblical figures such as Ezekiel and Solomon flying from place to place and the magical chariots, or Vimanas, of ancient India and China.
Following the Path of the Wise Men By Cynthia Gage
You might call Paul William Roberts a true Renaissance man, but he would be quick to correct you, pointing out that the Renaissance, known for spiritual rejuvenation, was actually a very acquisitive period. And acquiring the things of this world is decidedly not what he's after. Nevertheless, Roberts is a man of multiple talents, many of which are evidenced in his recently published book, In Search of the Birth of Jesus, The Real Journey of the Magi. A scholar and historian (though he prefers to be called a storyteller), Roberts shares his detailed knowledge on everything from ancient Egypt to architecture, astrology, archaeology and the Dead Sea Scrolls, while taking us with him on a fascinating journey that retraces the steps of the Magi, or Wise Men, on their famous journey to the birthplace of Christ. It's provocative from page one, reading this book may change forever the way you look at the world and its religions. Roberts claims that a profound secret about the origins of Christianity has been kept for nearly two thousand years; a secret which, when unveiled by the publication of the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls, he says, will send the church of Rome crumbling into conflicted, autonomous factions much like the independent states of the former Soviet Union.
HI-TECH AGENDA FOR THE MOUND BUILDERS? By Christopher Dunn
Under the discerning gaze of intelligent architects, hordes of primitive people scraped at the fertile soil of what is now known as Ohio. Around 200 B.C., millions of tons of soil and rock were transported from river bottoms and distant fields to be formed into remarkably precise geometric arrangements. Why they were built and by whose invention has been the subject of considerable discussion for almost two centuries.
Keys to the Conspiracy Consparacy By David Lewis
First they raise the cost of living, you hear people say, then they raise your electric rates. Ever wonder who this they is people talk about when they are looking for someone to blame for life's problems. More poignantly, and tragically, someone might say, First they killed JFK, and then his brother, and then Martin Luther King, taking for granted that a hidden hand, always spoken of in the plural, lurks behind everything that goes wrong in life, from the mundane to the historical. Some point to a shadowy group of conspirators dedicated to subverting life as we know it.
PARANORMAL PARATROOPER By J. Douglas Kenyon
According to the public information operatives of the CIA and the Pentagon, any official attempt to develop and deploy so-called psychic forces for military purposes was, at best, experimental, short-lived, and of no demonstrable value. Nevertheless, when the story broke in December of 1995 that, whatever the limitations, the Pentagon had resorted AT ALL to clairvoyant methods', produced a spasm of disbelief in the world of paranormal debunkers. After all, hadn't it been shown to the satisfaction of any rational person that such stuff belongs entirely in the dark realm of witch doctors, mumbo jumbo and superstition, or what the late Carl Sagan might have called The Demon Haunted World? It certainly does not belong, they would argue, in the arena of objective discourse. How could the hard-headed U.S. Defense establishment, with access to the best that academic science can produce, take such notions seriously, even for an instant?
The Crystal Skull Enigma By Charles C. Pelton
In the realm of ancient artifacts there are few antiquities that are as thought provoking as the carved quartz crystal skulls. Very little is known about these ancient wonders of the world, largely due to the fact that so few of them exist which are accessible to the researcher. In the last few years, interest has risen intensely in these works of antiquity. For many years, when the subject of the crystal skulls was discussed, few people were aware of the fact that the Mitchell- Hedges skull was not the only crystal skull known to man. It may have been the most perfectly carved, even viewed by more people throughout the world than any other skull, but, certainly not the only skull. In fact, there are many skulls in various locations around the world which range in size from a few pounds, or softball sized, to over forty pounds.
The Search for Kinnaman's Entrance By Stephen Mehler
I first heard his name in early 1979. Soon thereafter, I acquired a tape of a lecture he gave on the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt in the 1950s. In this lecture he claimed to have discovered one of the greatest finds, not only of this century, but perhaps in the history of archaeology. Yet, he is virtually unknown today in the fields of Egyptology and Archaeology and after 16 years of researching his life and attempting to verify his claims, he remains almost as much a mystery and fascination to me today as he was in 1979.
His name was John Ora Kinnaman and his life was so full of exploration and dedication to scientific discovery that his name deserves to rank with the other great individuals in the annals of archaeology such as Ivan T. Sanderson and Colonel Percy Fawcett. My research team and myself have been able to uncover many documents and much material on the life and work of J.O. Kinnaman, in order to present an intriguing account of a very interesting man.
UFO Experts See Official Cover-Up Unraveling by Marcia Jedd
The modern-day UFO era celebrates the half-century mark this year with the 50th anniversary of the Roswell, New Mexico crash and pilot Ken Arnold's sightings in Washington. At the National UFO and Unexplained Phenomena Conference in October in Minneapolis-St. Paul, UFOlogists pondered the government coverup and secrecy in a variety of fascinating presentations.
Astrology: The Stars of Destiny: Bacon & Shakespeare by Kathie Garcia
Music: Life Is but a Dream by Robert J. Resetar; The jagged sounds of a discordant world would consume us if they could. Were it not for the ability to dream, we would live in a world without hope. And without sweet music to soothe the soul and bathe it in a joyful sound, our dreams could hardly reach the shores of peace on earth, goodwill toward men.
