Collin Andrews made a rather astounding discovery back in 2008. It was astounding for the establishment Egyptologists and for the alternative community as well. What did he discover?
He discovered that a long cherished belief held by both groups was dead wrong.
It has long been believed by Egyptologists and alternative thinkers that the layout of the Giza Plateau matched the three big stars of Orion's belt. Documentaries have been produced that key on this fact, books have been written about it, and Ph.D. degrees have been earned based on dealing with this fact
Oooops! It wasn't really a fact. after all.
The layout of the three pyramids on Giza Plateau does resemble the belt of Orion, but Collin Andrews discovered that it doesn't match exactly
In fact, when a star map of Orion is overlain on an aerial photo of the three pyramids, a rather disturbing discrepancy becomes very visible.
Two of those stars rest directly on the tops of two pyramids, but the third star misses the third pyramid. It doesn't land on the pyramid at all.
With the tremendous precision (unmatched in most modern construction) that these three pyramids were built, with which the Giza Plateau was laid out, it seemed to Mr. Andrews to be inconceivable that the builders could have missed the accurate placement of that third pyramid.
So, he wondered if there was any other constellation that matched the layout of the pyramids with precision.
He didn't have to wonder long. He discovered that the constellation Cygnus matches the Giza Plateau's layout precisely.
In the above photo, the stars of Orion are shown as green circles. The stars of Cygnus are shown as red circles.
You can see dlearly that the Orion star pattern does not precisely match the pyramids while the Cygnus star pattern does.
Furthermore, Andrews noted that at every place where there was a star of Cygnus in the overlay, there was some type of major structure.
Where Deneb strikes the Giza Plateau in the overlay, there was nothing. No pyramid, no temple, now building of any kind.
That is, except for the star named Deneb.
So, he conjectured that there had to be something major underground at that spot.
In 2010, Dr. Zahi Hawass, Minister of Antiquites in Egypt, announced that he had discovered the tomb of Osiris.
Osiris was a major god of ancient Egypt right up until Christianity began to take over in Egypt. He was the god of the underworld, and the god of resurrection and new life.
In other words, some scholars would hold that while there is much fiction to the myths about Osiris, it is likely that a person named Osiris actually existed. Did he?
Interestingly, there are photos that show the workers lifting the sarchophagus from the lower pit in which it rested to the level where the workers were standing
Hawass uncovered the tomb of Osiris, and found a 9 ft. long sarcophagus inside.
There are photos that show them preparing to lift the lid of the sarchophagus.
But apparently, not a single photo has been released that shows the inside of that sarchophagus at the moment the lid was removed.
There is a photo that shows the inside of the sarchophagus later, but not at that instant when the lid was removed. Why?
Dr. Hawass said later that the sarchophagus was empty when the lid came off. But was it?
This is not to imply that Hawass was lying, but it does seem more than odd that there are photos of all the work leading up to taking the lid off the sarchophagus, but no concurrent photo of what was seen inside the instant the lid came off.
That, of course, leaves open the possibility that the mummy of Osiris (the first known mummy) was inside.
Since the ancients who first wrote of Osiris claimed he was of divine birth and not from this planet, the possibility is open that the mummy of Osiris might prove to be the mummy of an extraterrestrial.
Of course, it just would not do for that kind of information to get out. So, according to this theory, the public was kept from seeing the photos of the inside of the sarchophagus at the instant the lid was removed, and the story was put out that the sarchophagus was empty.
This would be just fanciful theorizing if there were not some supporting evidence. Is there? Well, maybe. The evidence is very circumstantial, but also very suggestive.
On March 7, 2009, NASA launched the Kepler Space Telescope into an orbit just behind the Earth. It follows the Earth in its orbit around the sun.
It's mission is to search for earth-like planets and identify any that appear to be habitable.
Since it's mission is to look for other Earths, you would assume it would be looking all around space for them.
After all, the more sky you cover, the better your chances of success--right?
. If you already know where you are likely to have success, you would aim the telescope at that spot in space and keep it there.
Guess what? That is precisely what the mission controllers of Kepler have done. They aimed it like a laser on the constellation Cygnus! Why?
The official explanation is that by aiming at Cygnus, they don't have to worry about our sun obscurring the telescope with its immense light and energy. But, the Kepler craft is movable and could be repositioned to take care of any problems with the sun.
So, it really could be used to look all around space for other Earths. It isn't. It is focused on Cygnus and only on Cygnus.
The Kepler mission hit the jackpot!
In its first 6 months of operation, Kepler found an additional 1,235 extra-solar planets
We already knew about some 500 extra-solar planets, but Kepler upped the number by an additional 1,235.
Of that number, 408 are in multi-planet solar systems like ours.
In fact, Kepler has located 170 such multi-planet solar systems in Cygnus.
Of the 408 planets in these multi-planet solar systems, Kepler has found some 50 that are habitable!
Officially, these discoveries are called planet candidates.
Planet candidates means they are actual discoveries, but need to be verified by other scientists as well.
The ancient Egyptians wrote about their ancestors (even more anceint than they, of course) and said they were cannibals, barbaric, uncivilized, and unlearned.
They were ruled by a god named Ra at the time.
Ra built mighty structures, but did nothing to improve these savages.
When Ra became old, he left Earth and returned to the heavens.
Osiris (whose parents were not human) ascended to the kingship of the land.
Osiris, the green skinned god, was greatly distrubed by the complete lack of civilization and learning of these humans, and set about establishing civilization.
Osiris taught the people what to eat (not each other), and taught them agriculture, writing, how to worship the gods, and established law.
In a fairly short time, he had established the first Egyptian civilization, and the people prospered.
Now, if Osiris was from among these savages, one must wonder how it is that this one person from among savage cannibals would have come by such knowledge.
How did he come by knowledge of agriculture, writing, and law?
But remember, the ancient Egyptians who told of Osiris were setting him and his clan apart from the humans. They recognized him as being other than the humans.
It is at least interesting that the tomb of Osiris was located directly under where the star Deneb (of the Cygnus constellation) strikes the Giza Plateau.
It is interesting because it rather indicates that the fact that the Giza Plateau and the constellation Cygnus match is not an accident.
Not only does the constellation Cygnus match the layout of the pyramids, but it marks the precise spot where Osiris' tomb lay deep under the ground.
What if the ancient Egyptians were correct in what they wrote about Osiris' origins? What if he was not from here, but from the heavens?
What if NASA knew for quite some time that the Giza Plateau matched Cygnus and not Orion? What if NASA knew for quite some time that the stories about Osiris' origin were true
It would indicate that NASA made the reasonable assumption that since Osiris was not from Earth, but lived on Earth, he must have come from an earth-like planet somewhere out there in space
It would also indicate they reasoned that if there was Osiris (and his wife Isis, and Thoth, and Set) from out there, then there were likely still others of their kind out there. But where was out there?
The answer to that question was laid out on the Giza Plateau in the form of a star map of their home worlds. Cygnus.
Indeed, this is a theory making a far stretch, but not an unreasonable one.
NASA aimed Kepler with laser precision at Cygnus and plan for it to stay that way for 3.5 years. Why?
Their story about avoiding interference from our sun just does not hold up when one realizes the Kepler telescope can be repositioned at any time they desire to do so.
The Kepler mission was aimed at Cygnus from before the first bolt was milled. Why? The Giza Plateau seems to provide an interesting and possible answer.
WITNESS TO WANAQUE: THE GREATEST “MASS UFO SIGHTING” NEVER TOLD BY Anthony Bragalia
On a clear and cold mid-winter night, the community was infiltrated and “beamed upon” by rays that shot downward from a brilliant and eerie object.
In the mid-1960s a UFO terrified a small New Jersey town.
Over the decades the event has seemed to have faded from view for reasons that remain very murky.
But a closer examination of the event today reveals it to be the most credible and exceptional “mass sighting” of a UFO anywhere in all of human history. The sheer number of highly credible individuals who reported the sighting astounds.
More significantly, the event was apparently photographed by the frightened. These extremely rare, little-seen images are controversial, and they are shown here.
Digging deeper this author has found records indicating that the US Government was concerned about ‘imposter military men’ that had infiltrated the community to suppress or dissuade them from reporting anything further on the incident.
This may be another reason why this great mass UFO sighting is not so well known by the masses (or even many in the UFO research community.)
Finally, this author has also located and contacted an original witness from when the event occurred.
In retirement he reluctantly confirms that the object that he saw (and remembers well, even 45 years later) was not of Earth.
THE UFO THAT TERRIFIED A TOWN
On January 11, 1966 in Wanaque, New Jersey (located in Passaic County) a bizarre and disturbing event began to unfold over this town of less than ten thousand.
Most of the activity took place around the Wanaque Dam and the community’s key water resources.
The event lasted about two and a half hours (6:20-8:58 PM) and it was seen by dozens of individuals. The police were flooded with incoming reports on the aerial object from around a 20-mile radius.
The UFO was reported as:
- Very white but occasionally changing colors, including red, blue and green
- Exceedingly bright and shining, but not flickering or twinkling
- Much larger than any star, at times appearing to assume an irregular egg-shaped, fuzzy structure (and described as perhaps the size of about “10 bright stars clumped together”
- Gliding “low and oddly” across the vast frozen and semi-frozen waters, seemingly in a deliberate “pattern” (described by some as a circular pattern and sometimes maneuvering side to side and up and down.)
- Flying as low as 250 fifty feet above to as high as 1000 feet above witnesses
- Moving at moderate to fast speeds in complete silence (with no sound of motor or engine) and occasionally hovering or floating for periods of time
- Finally, zooming out of view at extreme speed after its “survey” of the area
But by far and away the most amazing and important feature reported about the UFO is this:
During the duration of the sighting, the object would periodically shoot large beams of light from a porthole down towards the ice near the Wanaque Dam and the town’s reservoir and water resource facilities. The beams would then create holes in the ice as if they were burning through the freeze of winter with precision and ease! How mere “light” could do this (unless it was a laser or unknown energetic technology) is not understood. Sgt. Ben Thompson (see list of witnesses below) reported the UFO’s strange ability to suck together tree tops and to cause a rise in the reservoir’s water level.
WHO SAW ALL OF THIS?
Scores and scores of people from the town said that they saw parts of the event or the entire episode. These people include the Mayor, several Councilmen, numerous Law Enforcement personnel, the Reservoir Police and even a high-ranking Catholic nun.
This author has reviewed what little historical literature is available on the sighting. This includes a review of papers and other periodicals from 1966-1967 including: The New York Journal-American; the APRO Bulletin; NICAP Notes by Otto Binder, 1966; UFO Investigator Vol. III No. 6 Jan-Feb 1966 and area NJ and Tri-State newspapers (i.e. Newark News and the Star Ledger.)
The list of key witnesses (included in brief interviews in newspapers at the time) are:
- Mayor Harry T. Wolfe and his Son Billy - Councilmen Warren Hagstrom, Arthur Barton and John Shuttle - Civil Defense Administrators Bentley Spencer and Richard Vrooman - Chief of Police Floyd Elson - Officer George Dyckman - Patrolman Joe Cisco - Sgt. Bobby Gordon (Pompton Lakes Police) - Sgts. Ben Thompson and David Sisco - Patrolmen Edward Nestor and Jack Wardlaw - Reservoir Police & Personnel George Destito, Charles Theodora, Fred Steines - The Mother Superior of a Local Convent
It was reported that by night’s end, the Police Department had received “dozens” of phone call reports of the object from different locations and vantage points from surrounding areas.
The early reports had apparently instigated town officials to convene at the Dam to see the sight for themselves.
WHAT THEY SAID
Key quotes about the event that I have found by combing though and culling reports from newspapers in the days following the event include:
Mayor Wolfe, who would characterize the whole thing by saying that “the phenomena was terribly strange.”
Officer George Dyckman: “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
Reservoir employee Fred Steines stated: “A bolt of light shot down from it as if attracted to the water, like a beam emitted from a portal.”
Councilman Warren Hagstrom: “We got goose bumps all over when we saw where the hole was.”
Patrolman Joe Cisco (recorded on police radio): “Something landed in front of the dam. Something’s burning a hole in the ice! Something with a bright light on it, going up and down!”
THE UFO THAT TERRIFIED THE TOWN - PHOTOGRAPHED?
The light beam was said to have been “energetic” and could pierce or burn through the ice.
Others saw the beam’s reflection on the ice and only that it was somehow impacting its surface.
Some of the photographs found their way to the late UFO researcher August C. Roberts.
Over 45 years after the original event, this author has located an original witness to Wanaque found mentioned in early-published reports.
Given the sheer number of highly reputable people who saw this event, it is inconceivable that more photographs were not taken.
It is perhaps as great a mystery as the UFO itself: How could an event witnessed by scores of people for over two hours not have resulted in far more captured images of the craft?
This author has reason to believe that many Wanaque UFO photos (and perhaps film) were suppressed or remain in private, nervous hands to this very day.
THE FEW OTHER PHOTOS THAT MADE IT OUT
Series of Five Photos Taken at Wanaque and Published by Dell
Dell Publishing in NY (now Bantam/Random House) received a series of 5 black and white photos after the Wanaque event claiming to be of the craft and beam seen there.
The submitter wished no acknowledgement and did not seek any compensation. Dell published the photos and, accompanying them, a very brief article in the 1967 issue of its publication, UFO Reports.
I am not aware of the location of the negatives (given they exist) nor the identity of the photographer/s who took these intriguing images. Though I cannot vouch for their authenticity, at least one of the witnesses contacted thought that there was a good similarity to what was seen at Wanaque (see interview below.)
They were sent to private researcher August Roberts and to Dell anonymously.
They wanted to get them out, but perhaps feared potential retribution or unwanted attention.
THE “MIB” INTIMIDATE WANAQUE WITNESSES
This author has learned that unknown men posing as military officials descended upon Wanaque in the period after the sighting to intimidate and dissuade talk about the UFO. And the source for this is the U.S. Pentagon itself!
Found buried in the defunct civilian UFO research organization’s publication APRO Bulletin (Jan-Feb, 1967) is a detailing of these “MIB” visits.
“Men dressed in uniforms or bearing credentials from government agencies have been silencing witnesses to the UFO at Wanaque. According to Pentagon spokesman Colonel George P. Freeman, ‘These men are not connected to the Air Force in any way.’ He cited a recent case in which the police officers and other witnesses at sightings in Wanaque, NJ and told them they had seen nothing and should not discuss the incident. Whoever he was, he wasn’t’ from the Air Force,’Freeman stated.”
This helps to account for the lack of subsequent details or real investigation and the apparent absence of photographs of the event taken by those who would let their names be used.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS TWO HOURS AWAY ON SAME DAY
According to a 1966 civilian UFO research organization NICAP report by John Pagano found by this author, on January 11, 1966 at 7:45 p.m. – on the very same day and at the very same time- as the Wanaque, NJ sighting, another, similar sighting was taking place in Myerstown, PA, about two hundred miles from Wanaque.
A nurse and others together in a car saw a luminous disc, like one saucer inverted on top of another, at relatively close range as it hovered above the car.
The precise timing of the two sightings at the same time, the “luminosity” of the object, its being seen at close range and hovering – as well as its abrupt acceleration away - are all uncannily reminiscent of Wanaque.
THE SIGHTINGS CONTINUED
On October 15, 1966, less than a week after the original Wanaque sighting, Police Chief John Casazza with the Reservoir Force said that he and his friend Bob Dexter witnessed a strange sight in the air at about 10:40 at night behind some hills on the dam.
According to an interview he conducted with early researcher Lloyd Mallan, he said, “it was shaped like an ellipse, but was flatter on the bottom and more round at the top. In length, it appeared three times larger than the Moon. It gave off kind of a light. White light. It was not flashing or blinking. Casazza send the craft was noiseless and moved slowly and then very fast out of view.
According to November 1966 issue of UFO Investigator from civilian research organization NICAP, later in the year in Wanaque (on October 10, 1966 at 9:15 PM) police officers observed a spherical object with a protrusion on one side emitting an extremely bright blinding light that lit up the terrain (environmental illumination.)
Even the intervening decades Wanaque has had other similar aerial anomalies involving very brightly lit objects, including one the was reportedly filmed in 1992.
A WITNESS SPEAKS TODAY
This author located and spoke with a first-hand witness to the event who was a young Wanaque man in 1966 who was mentioned in the news at the time.
This witness, not wishing disruption or re-involvement four and a half decades hence, agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity. Excerpts of what he said recently to me are telling:
“I remember the thing very well. I still do not know what it was. I think about it from time to time, but it’s no use because it doesn’t bring me any closer to knowing what it was.”
“Maybe things that aren’t from here aren’t meant to be understood by us here.” He added, “ask anyone who will tell you , it was not a helicopter or something astronomical. It was…not…from our military or something we misidentified. It was a UFO, from somewhere else.”
“The beams or ray thing that came out from the bottom of the glob (globe?) was the thing that got to me. It made the light cut the ice out. It frightened us kids. And I’m sure the adults. Because we don’t have anything like that even today.”
“The adults didn’t really speak much about it after the initial thing that I could tell. I’d talk about it with my friends some time later and one of them told me that people came around to not say anything.”
(On the emailed alleged photo of the Wanaque UFO and beam): “I am not 100%. I saw it from a different perspective. And not that close up or with a camera lens. But it is very similar to certain times when I saw it. The beam or huge ray, it kind of changed shape and the main body had a haze . Now that you are mentioning it, I have always wondered why none of the adults there, like the police, released any photos. They had to have had them taken. And the Reservoir police had cameras too. It went on for so long-people could have gone and come back to get one.”
MILITARY DENIALS AND EXPLANATIONS OFFERED
Though the US military denied having knowledge of the Wanaque affair, this is directly contradicted by Sgt Bobby Gordon of the Pompton Lakes Police Force, who was an eye-witness.
About 15 minutes after the “main event” and the craft had left, Gordon said, he saw the abrupt and mysterious appearance of seven helicopters and 10 or so high-performance jets over the Wanaque Reservoir.
Gordon believes that these overflights were no coincidental to the sightings of the strange UFO. Gordon said that he did not report this to the Air Force as he said “I had enough aggravation on my job, so that I don’ have to go outside to get it.”
1960s UFO researcher Llloyd Mallan conducted a private investigation of the incident. He called numbers of officials to see if they would lay claim to the overflight of US aircraft in the wake of the Wanaque sighting.
The U.S. Navy, FAA, US Coast Guard, Wright Patterson Air Force Base and other Air Bases and the US Coast Guard all denied knowledge of any such flights.
Mallan believed that the military scrambled to investigate and to learn more about a craft that was not their own.
And some of skeptical inclination have offered up several ill-conceived and far-reaching “answers” or solutions to the true nature of the Wanaque sightings.
some have said it was:
A Balloon
McGuire AFB in Wrightstown speculated it was a weather balloon that traveled from Kennedy International Airport, which the Pentagon initially agreed with. Later McGuire said it was not and the Pentagon offered a new explanation
Venus and Jupiter
The Pentagon later offered that these planets were in alignment creating a strange effect
Helicopters or other Aircraft
Stewart AFB in Newburgh, NY said it was a helicopter with a powerful beacon on a night mission. They later “soft-pedaled” on this explanation, likely realizing all of the other conflicting “real reasons” given for the sighting by other officials
Ball Lightning
“Ball lightning” was offered as an explanation to Wanaque when the question was posed to arch-skeptic Phil Klass by a researcher.
But ball lightning is a very rare form of lightning. It can appear white, spherical and luminous and even pierce window pane.
Every single witness ever contacted disagrees with all of these “explanations.” All say that none in any way account for what was viewed at relatively close range for a long time.
Mitchell is one of only twelve humans to have explored the lunar surface.
Recently, I contacted Dr. Mitchell by email, after reading about the forthcoming fictionalized lunar mission film 'Apollo 18' --
"there's a reason we've never gone back to the moon" -- concerning what he may or may not know about an alleged alien presence.
(Meanwhile, questions have been raised about when 'Apollo 18' will be landing in theaters. Currently the film is said to be on schedule for a September 2, 2011 release date.)
Are there extraterrestrial aliens based on the Moon? And how much does NASA, or anyone else in the US government, know?
The source of the 'aliens on the moon' story worked with the CIA and later held a TOP SECRET clearance for his contribution to a clandestine effort to obtain intelligence using "unusual sources and methods."
In his out-of-print book Penetration, Swann related how, in 1975, he was recruited by an ultra-secret black-ops group interested in special observations of specific lunar coordinates.
When Swann checked the coordinates, he was shocked to see humanoid beings and artificial constructions on the lunar surface, all bathed in an eerie green fog.
Ingo Swann was recruited by American intelligence services -- we have US government files which confirm this -- to use his extraordinary human skills to psychically penetrate targets outside of the range of conventional observation.
The problem with Swann's far-out story is that the 'observations' were made with his mind's eye.
Swann was America's best psychic spy, following the untimely death of Pat Price, another star in CIA's covert program to use paranormal phenomena for remote viewing of intelligence targets.
As for the alleged black ops interested in lunar interlopers? Even Swann does not know -- or at the least, he isn't telling.
So when I contacted astronaut Mitchell, I naturally inquired if he knew anything about visitors inhabiting our nearest neighbor in space, noting that Kit Green, a former CIA analyst who consults to the US Defense Intelligence Agency on emerging technology threats, had come forward about government contact with alleged extraterrestrial biological entities (see Mark Pilkington's book Mirage Men and my own Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape for further information on the alleged alien presence).
"Gary, glad to exchange with you on these issues. I don't know that I have perfect answers, but I do have some, " Mitchell replied.
He did seem quite skeptical about Ingo Swann's 'remote viewed' alien presence.
"Very suspicious of Ingo's claims about black ops and aliens on the moon," wrote Mitchell, who then added, "It is certainly possible and even likely that ETs have had operations on and around the moon, but nothing that we (NASA astronauts) have seen and reported."
This was not exactly what lunar conspiracy theorists wanted to hear, but at least Mitchell left the door open for otherworldly possibilities.
During the Apollo 14 mission to the Moon, Mitchell conducted unauthorized ESP tests.
He has also reported on very strange, seemingly psychokinetic events in his book, "The Way of the Explorer,"
so I asked if he was aware of recent revelations that former NSA Senior Official Thomas Drake had been experimenting with Chris Robinson, a psychic spy from England.
Mitchell replied that he was unaware of Drake's involvement in the psychic spy business, but then he threw me a curve ball.
"I know of quite a few credible stories of ET communication with earthlings."
Were some of our fellow space travelers on this island Earth tapped into the cosmic version of Facebook, I wondered?
Ingo Swann had more or less suggested this possibility in his book back in 1998, when he noted the lunar alien presence seemed to use a kind of "telepathy plus" version of mental communication.
I knew from US government files that in the 1990s, elements within the Department of Defense were exploring the possibility of using telepathy for battlefield communications. A source to Jon Ronson for his book "The Men Who Stare at Goats" had relayed the same story.
Another astronaut, the late Gordon Cooper, also related stories of an associate who had "telepathic" contact with sources from beyond the Earth. Cooper allegedly provided technical information concerning space shuttle design flaws sourced from a telepathic alien contact.
I wondered if Mitchell suspected a covert extraterrestrial alien presence among us.
"I suspect they are walking among us," wrote Mitchell, "-- highbreds possibly [sic] -- and certainly panspermia is [a] plausible hypothesis."
Mitchell wasn't the only connected person suggesting that aliens walk among us. During his encounter with the black ops lunar explorers, Ingo Swann had an encounter with a beautiful woman in a Los Angeles supermarket, while being watched by two of the black ops operatives. The circumstances led Swann to conclude that he had an encounter of the close kind. But do aliens wear halter tops, mini-skirts, and platforms?
Or perhaps Swann had been "spooked" by intelligence operatives who wanted to test his response to unusual circumstances.
Ultimately, according to Swann, they took him to Alaska to eye-witness an unidentified laser-firing drone that mysteriously appeared from a mist over a lake.
So where does this leave all of the conspiracy advocates who swear there is a government cover-up?
Mitchell suggested the conspiracy was real, but was not based in any official government institution.
"I question 'government secrecy', but believe Eisenhower's warning about the 'military industrial complex' is more to the point," Mitchell wrote to me, "There seemingly is a global cabal trying to keep the wraps on the ET presence for their own reasons (profit?), but it is starting to unravel and will likely come apart before long."
A global cabal? Secretly receiving their instructions by telepathic messages from the great beyond?
Earth. It follows the Earth in its orbit around the sun.
