was born。 Several times each year tall； hairy creatures with red eyes are still seen throughout the United States and； in fact； throughout the world。 Like many forms of chimeras； they are usually acpanied by the smell of rotten eggs…hydrogen sulfide。 The 〃fire and brimstone〃 of the ancients。 The same odor frequently surrounds the fabled flying saucers and their space…suited pilots。
Seeing a spaceman disembark from a flying saucer is no more remarkable than seeing an angel descend in a luminous cloud （and angels are still reported hundreds of tunes each year）。 The report of a nine…foot…tall humanoid strolling down the main street of Buffalo Mills； Pennsylvania； on August 19； 1973； was no more outlandish than the dinosaurs who appear from time to time to terrify witnesses and baffle police posses。 In 1969 there were dinosaur reports in Texas。 In 1970 the police in Italy scoured a mountain range after several witnesses reported seeing a saurian。
To the regret of the true believers； the majority of the witnesses to chimerical events were alone at the time of their experience。 While the amateur investigators tend to Concentrate on the very subjective descriptions of the observers； I probed deeper and studied the witnesses themselves。 Many； I found； suffered certain medical symptoms such as temporary amnesia； severe headaches； muscular spasms； excessive thirst and other effects； all of which have been observed throughout history in religious miracles （the appearances of religious apparitions）； demonology； occult phenomena； and contacts with fairies。 All of these manifestations clearly share a mon source or cause。 While chimeras can e in all sizes and shapes； ranging from twenty…foot giants to animated tin cans only a few inches in height； the most fascinating type is one who has appeared in almost every country on earth。 In other ages he was regarded as the devil incarnate。 He dressed in black and rode a black horse。 Later he arrived in black horsedrawn carriages； even in hearses。 Today he steps out of flying saucers in remote farm fields。 He is built exactly like us； stands from five feet six inches to six feet tall； looks very human but has high cheekbones； unusually long fingers； and an Oriental cast to his features。 His plexion is olive or reddish。 He speaks every language； sometimes mechanically as if he is reciting a memorized speech； sometimes fluently。 He has trouble breathing； often wheezing and gasping between words。 Like our dinosaurs and hairy bipeds； he often leaves a few footprints behind 。。。 footprints which suddenly end as if he had vanished into thin air。
I have been chasing these critters for twenty…five years and have traveled from Tibet； the land of the Abominable Snowman； to West Virginia； home of the strangest unknown 〃Bird。〃 In the course of all these adventures and frenetic activities I have e to reject outright the popular extraterrestrial hypothesis。
My long and very expensive excursions into the borderland where the real and unreal merge have failed to produce any evidence of any kind to support the idea that we are entertaining shy strangers from some other galaxy。 Rather； I have e to realize that we have been observing plex forces which have always been an essential part of our immediate environment。 Instead of thinking in terms of extraterrestrials； I have adopted the concept of ultraterrestrials…beings and forces which coexist with us but are on another time frame； that is； they operate outside the limits of our space…time continuum yet have the ability to cross over into our reality。 This other world is not a place； however as Mars or Andromeda are places； but is a state of energy。
The UFO phenomenon itself is only one trivial fragment of a much larger phenomenon。 It can be divided into two mam parts。 The first and most important part consists of the mysterious aerial lights which appear to have an intelligence of their own。 They have been observed throughout history。 Often they project powerful searchlight…like beams toward the ground。 Persons caught in these beams undergo remarkable changes of personality。 Their IQ sky…rockets； they change their jobs； divorce their wives； and in any number of well…documented instances they suddenly rise above their previous mediocre lives and bee out…standing statesmen； scientists； poets and writers； even soldiers。 In religious lore； being belted by one of these light beams causes 〃mystical illumination。〃 When Saul； a Jewish tent…maker； was zapped by one of these beams on the road to Damascus it blinded him for three days and he was converted to Christianity on the spot and became St。 Paul。 The second part of the phenomenon consists of the cover or camouflage for the first part； the 〃meandering nocturnal lights〃 as the air force has labeled them。 If these lights appeared in cycles； year after year； century after century without any acpanying explanatory manifestations they would cause much greater fear and concern。 But explanatory manifestations have acpanied them always； and these manifestations have always been adjusted to the psychology and beliefs of each particular period in time。 The flying saucer/extraterrestrial visitants are not real in the sense that a 747 airliner is real。 They are transmogrifications of energy under the control of some unknown extra…dimensional intelligence。 This intelligence controls important events by manipulating specific human beings through the phenomenon of mystical illumination。 Our religions are based upon our longtime awareness of this intelligence and our struggle to reduce it to humanly acceptable terms。
The ancient Ethiopians viewed their gods as black； snub…nosed entities。 The Greeks and Romans populated their mountaintops with longhaired； handsome gods and goddesses。 The Indians of South America worshiped bearded gods who traveled the night skies in luminous discs of light； as did the ancient Egyptians。 But religious views were modified in the nineteenth century with the ing of the Industrial Age。 The lights were still there but a new frame of reference was needed to cover their activities。
Somebody somewhere does not want us to understand the true nature of this phenomenon and its true purpose。 For years the UFO enthusiasts believed the U。S。 Air Force was the culprit and that government agents were tapping the phones of teen…agers and little old ladies； tampering with their mail； and following them around in black Cadillacs。 I wish the answer was that simple。
We have been victimized by this phenomenon； not just since 1947 but since ever！ It is the foundation of all our religious and occult beliefs； of our philosophies； and our cultures。 The ancient Chinese marked out the routes of the lights in the sky （LITS） and called them 〃dragon tracks〃 because； apparently； fearsome dragons appeared along with the mysterious lights。 In a later age； these became fairy lights and were associated with the little people who actually plagued whole generations not only in Europe but also in North America 。。。 for the American Indians were telling stories about the little people long before the Europeans arrived here。
During the witchcraft craze a few hundred years ago； people really thought they saw witches flying through the air 。。。 with lanterns hanging from the front of the brooms。 The vampire legends of middle Europe are almost identical to the modern UFO lore。 As late as the nineteenth century the devil existed as a physical personage to many people。
If you saw a strange light in the sky in 1475 you knew it had to be a witch on a broom because you had heard of others who had seen witches on brooms skirting the tree…tops。 Now in 1975 you might decide it is attached to a spacecraft from some other planet。 This conclusion is not a qualified deduction on your part。 It is the result of years of propaganda and even brainwashing。 If you are under thirty； you grew up on a diet of ic books； motion pictures； and television programs which educated you to believe in the extraterrestrial hypothesis。 A small knot of nuts has talked to you year after year on interview programs； telling you how the sinister air force has been keeping the truth about f
