THE RUINS OF ATLANTIS IN WISCONSIN?

A new book from Galde Press makes the startling claim that ruins of Atlantis can be found in Wisconsin. Atlantis in Wisconsin by Frank Joseph describes underwater pyramids in Rock Lake, 50 miles west of Milwaukee. According to Joseph, high-tech search instruments have now verified Indian legends of an ancient city of the dead at the site. The Indians remembered it only as Aztalan. A sequel to the author's earlier work Lost Pyramids of Rock Lake, the new book claims to have evidence that the lake is a sacred vortex wherein time itself is bent...., that The lost civilization of Atlantis has a discernible link to Rock Lake... and that The ancient builders of the drowned structures used a psychic technology more advanced than modern building methods.

RESEARCH PROJECT STUDIES NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN

Near-Death Experience researcher P.M.H. Atwater is conducting an in-depth study of such experiences involving children. The Beyond the Light author (Atlantis Rising, #2, page 28) is seeking volunteers for her study.

Atwater is interested in hearing from child experiencers of any age and from any significant others with direct knowledge of such events. I am especially interested in seeing the near-death experience from the child's point of view, and I want to talk to parents and school teachers of such children, says Atwater. In my own work, I keep running into discrepancies, differences between what is now known about children who experience the near-death phenomenon and what actually exists in people's homes, in their lives. I suspect we've missed a few things, and it's now time to take a deeper look.

Send all materials as soon as possible to: P.M.H. Atwater, P.O. Box 7691, Charlottesville, VA 22906-7691.

NEW AGE EXPO AT PIKES PEAK

April 28 through May 1, Colorado Springs played host to the first annual Pikes Peak UFO & New Age Expo. Forty speakers on everything from magnetic healing to Mayan cosmology conducted sessions and workshops at the Radisson Inn.

Keynote speaker was Budd Hopkins, author of Missing Time and Intruders. The star of the show, though, was probably Max, the 36,000 year-old crystal skull making a rare public appearance.

D.C. DEMONSTRATION FOR UFO INFO

Operation Right to Know, an organization dedicated to exposing government secrets regarding UFO encounters, was on the attack this spring. Though only a small group showed up for a Washington, D.C. demonstration outside the General Accounting Office, the event succeeded in attracting national attention to their attempt to raise public awareness of current GAO investigations into the whereabouts of documentation on the notorious saucer crash incident in Roswell, N.M. 1947.

Despite official explanations from the Air Force that the episode amounted to nothing more than the recovery of secret weather balloon wreakage, public skepticism has abounded, prompting Rep. Steven Schiff, R-N.M recently to request a GAO inquiry into the matter. Operation Right to Know believes that if evidence of government coverup in this case is finally bought to light, many other long-buried secrets of clandestine government contact with intelligent extra-terrestrial life will not be far behind.

Boasting a large and intense international following, the group maintains an on-line computer address (alt.alien.visitors) and charges $15 to join.
