#1. Lord Hill-Norton 1915 - 2004
Lord Hill-Norton 1915 - 2004
by: Nick Pope
I'm sorry to have to re****t that Lord Hill-Norton died on Sunday, aged 89.
[May
16, 2004]
Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton G.C.B. was a former Chief of the
Defence Staff and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, who in his
later
years became greatly interested in the UFO phenomenon.
His long and distinguished naval career included active service on Arctic
convoy duty during the Second World War, command of a destroyer during the
Suez
Crisis, and a later posting in command of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark
Royal.
His interest in UFOs came after his retirement, and he wrote forewords to
a
number of Timothy Good's books, including Above Top Secret and Unearthly
Disclosure. He was particularly interested in the Rendlesham Forest
incident,
and worked with Georgina Bruni on this. He asked her to draft some
questions
which he subsequently tabled in Parliament, trying to elicit an official
response to what he felt were a number of im****tant defence and national
security issues raised by the events.
I briefed him on several occasions, which could be quite challenging. Many
staff officers and journalists found him difficult, especially if they
didn't
quickly get to the point. He was passionate about the Royal Navy, UFOs and
a
wide range of other subjects. When I called on him last summer, on my way
back
from a holiday, I found him as lively as ever. He had taken an interest in
a
UFO sighting involving military witnesses on HMS Manchester and had asked
me to
update him. He told me that despite the frustrations, he intended to
remain
involved in ufology for as long as he was able.
Lord Hill-Norton appeared in several UFO documentaries and was frequently
quoted on the subject in the media. Again, he could be quite outspoken and
was
often highly critical of the Ministry of Defence's policy on the UFO
phenomenon. Those list members in the UK will be able to see what I
believe was
his last TV interview on UFOs next Wednesday evening, on Channel Five's
new
documentary, The British UFO Files.
Lord Hill-Norton was a great friend to ufology, where the active sup****t
of
someone of his rank was without precedent. He will be sadly missed.
Best wishes,
Nick Pope

#3. How To Keep UFOs Secrets From The Public (By C.A. Honey)
Over the years I keep hearing one particular comment over and over again.
It is
usually to the effect that it is impossible to keep information such as
the
identity or reality of UFO's secret for any short period of time, let
alone for
years. Let's refute this erroneous information right from the start.
Shortly before the end of World War II the final stages of the atom bomb
were
completed, resulting in the end of the war against Japan. The atom bomb
development was kept secret even though many people were involved and
development was completed within range of thousands of people. The
laboratory
was actually built within the structure housing the stands at the site of
many
s****ts events. Spectators were literally sitting on top of the bomb,
so-to-speak, without anyone knowing what was going on below them. That
incident
alone proves that if a secret is supposed to be kept, it is possible to do
so.
In the case of the atom bomb development about 150,000 people were
involved.
This included the scientists designing the bomb, the technicians
assembling
various components, and the military people involved in enforcing secrecy.
But
what about any USA involvement with UFO secrecy?

#5. An Evil Presence (by Carol)
One night my husband and I were reading the Scriptures in bed. We both had
our
Bibles and were reading quietly side by side when my husband looked up and
said, "I demand you to depart in the name of Jesus Christ." Well, my heart
nearly stopped because my husband was always a non-reactionary person -
someone
who did not believe in the unseen world of spirits or metaphysics, but did
believe in the Bible's admonishment to call out to the presence of evil
spirits
by saying what he did: "I demand you to depart in the name of Jesus
Christ."
I looked around the room, wondering what would provoke him to make such
statement. I asked him what was wrong and he said, he felt a strange and
evil
spirit in the room (he'd never done this before, ever!) So, I suggested
that he
call our neighbor next door, who was also a member of our church, to come
and
have a prayer with us. Well, it was about 10 o'clock at night, not
something I
really felt was warranted, but thought I'd offer it as an option for my
husband
to get some comfort where he clearly had none at the moment. I was
surprised
that he called "Joe" and asked him to come over. Joe said he'd pray about
whether to come over or not and within minutes he was knocking at the
door.
Well, my husband felt a little embarrassed since nothing was happening, so
Joe
prayed with us a short prayer, and went home.

#6. Ghost at the U.N. (by Jon B.)
Back in the late 1960s my mother worked at the U.N. in New York as a
secretary
in an adjacent building that was part of the larger complex. She worked in
an
area that was once part of a large conference hall, but was later divided
up to
make room for offices and now only a small ****tion of it was a conference
room
with two large double doors that led into the large conference space.
One night, while working late all alone, she began to hear a low sound of
the
clinking of glasses, like a cocktail party, but very faint and seemed to
come
from behind the large double doors. The hallway leading up to the
conference
room was dark, and there were no planned parties. Although cocktail
parties
were commonplace, there would have never been one in the conference hall,
and
certainly none if all the hall lights to the main doors were dim.
She soon went back to work fini****ng up for a few more minutes when she
then
heard a rush of applause like a full room was applauding at a speech from
down
the hall toward the two large doors, like it was coming through the
auditorium
walls. Then just faded.

#7. Website Of The Month "Burlington National UFO Center" (By: Neal - WOTS
Staff)
June's Website of the Month Award! Burlington National UFO Center
http://burlington.net/burlington_ufo_center
Webmasters: Brad and Mary Sutherland
Burlington National UFO Center is a candy shop of news, information,
photos and
discussion groups.
The home-page alone speaks volumes as webmasters Brad and Mary introduce
into
evidence a wide variety of sharp, clear photos while stimulating the mind
with
think-pieces masterfully written by various authors.
From the Ancient Mysteries to the news-breakers of today, BUFO offers new
insights into some of the most controversial elements of the paranormal
phenomena. Their offerings are so immense that I was inclined to pinch
each
topic just to sample the filling.
The BUFO website is user-friendly, offering a site map and many prompts to
make
your tour through their site an enjoyable, exciting and informative trek.
As
you navigate through the menagerie of photos, volcano cams, and subject
matter,
I encourage you to stop and look inside of the “on-line UFO
newspaper”.
Here, you’ll be introduced to even more exciting information as well as
an
op****tunity to meet the Sutherlands.
If you are ever in the Burlington, Wisconsin area, Brad and Mary invite
you to
stop in and visit their ufo center, which is located at 541 N. Pine
Street, or
visit their virtual center at : http://www.burlingtonnews.net/center
Always available for up to the minute paranormal news and information is
their
24 / 7 Paranormal Radio Station which can be reached at :
http://www.burlingtonnews.net.
I would say, with out hesitation, that BUFO is a website where one could
spend
hours upon hours of productive time, delving into what is often ignored as
today's news. This website is the perfect place for researchers,
enthusiast or
for those who are just plain curious about the paranormal truth.

#8. Japanese Atlantis (Re****ter: Mark Simkin)
Transcript
SIMKIN: At the end of the Japanese archipelago lies Yonaguni, shrouded in
mist
and mystery. The adults sing of their island's beauty while the children
are
told legends of its past - stories about a mysterious castle underneath
the
sea.
JAPANESE SINGING: A long time ago, a man called Taro Ura****ma was taken to
the
Sea God's palace by a turtle he had rescued. The beauty of the underwater
palace could not be described, even in heaven.
SIMKIN: It's an image that has a special place in Okinawan legend. For
centuries, stories about underwater cities have appeared in song and story
passed down from generation to generation.
JAPANESE WOMAN: Our grandfathers often said that the sea surrounding
Yonaguni
Island was very deep. When I was at primary school and first heard the
stories
of the Sea God's palace and Taro Ura****ma, I used to wonder if there was a
Sea
God's palace close to Yonaguni Island.

#9. Leah Haley Captivates Audience at May’s MiMUFON Meeting (by David E.
Twichell)
Leah Haley proved to be a fascinating speaker at the May MiMUFON meeting
in
Flint, MI. Leah is a CPA with two masters' degrees from Tennessee. She is
an
alien experiencer and the author of Lost Was The Key, Ceto's New Friends
and,
her latest, Unlocking Alien Closets: Abductions, Mind Control, and
Spirituality. (Greenleaf Publications.) In her latest book, Leah takes the
reader into the life and mind of an alien abductee. She shares her
struggle to
cope with her unusual experiences and relates her attempts to understand
how
aliens, UFOs, mind control, and the government cover-up are related to
God, the
Bible, and spirituality.
Her experiences have a familiar ring with which most experiencers can
identify.
However, it would appear that our own government plays a more prominent
and
aggressive role in her life than most as a result of the abductions.
In the 1960s Leah, her brother and a neighborhood friend watched as a UFO
descended from the sky and landed in the woods near her home in
Gardendale,
just north of Birmingham, Alabama. Later, they went out to the woods to
investigate but found no evidence of a landing. She knows now that she had
been
abducted as a child but it wasn’t until the 1990s that she began to have
conscious memories of the events.

#10. Abduct My Wallet: Confessions of a UFO Hoaxer (By Lee Shargel)
The Aliens are coming! The Aliens are coming! Folks don't believe it. The
only
aliens that are coming are sneaking under a fence somewhere along the
Texas
border. How can I be so sure? Well, for one thing we've caught a few of
them
and they don't have tentacles, ray guns or flying saucers. What they do
have is
bad breath, bad directions and a pocket full of jallopenos. Sorry, no
mystery
here.
In 1996, I wrote a science fiction novel entitled "Voice in the Mirror."
It was
a fictional story about the discovery of life on another planet. The other
planet was Earth. Yes, they discovered us. Now that's a switch. In my
pursuit
to find a publisher, I found that I was gathering enough rejection slips
to
wallpaper my house. Since, my wife felt that the rejection slip pattern
did not
fit the decor, I decided it was time for a different approach to this
publising
game. So, Doctor Lee Shargel, Top Secret NASA scientist was born.
I decided that the best way to get the book published was to make the
slightest
inference that it just might be real. Lo and behold, the New Age
publishers
were beating down my door. I secured a publisher and a nice (if not small)
advance check. I was ready to meet the world as a fictional Top Secret
NASA
scientist and holder of a PhD in Egyptian Quantum Mechanics. (That degree
was
made up in a pinch, but it, too, worked) I got an agent and a manager who
were
only to eager to cash in on the UFO craze. But first it required a plan.

#11. Havana Residents Claim Having Seen UFO (SOURCE: Prensa Latina)
HAVANA, May 18 (PL) - In the surroundings of EXPOCUBA, a fairground
located in
the capital city municipality of Boyeros, several persons claimed having
witnessed the presence of a UFO, according to an article appearing in the
local
press.
According to the Juventud Rebelde newspaper, residents of the site
witnessed
the descent of an alleged UFO (unidentified flying object) on Saturday,
May 8,
without this claim having been scientifically substantiated.
Witnesses claim that around 10:00 a.m., a small oval-shaped vessel,
silver-colored and with a metallic tail, landed in open field encircled by
trees on the El Pedregal farm, located in the surrounds of EXPOCUBA
southeast
of the city of Havana.
"I was tidying the shelves when a bright light came through the window. It
was
like a glowing ball with a tail in its lower section. I showed it to my
mother
quickly and ran outside to see where it would fall," said Raul Beltran,
17, who
claims having been at the site until the UFO took off once more. "It
lifted off
rather perpendicularly and then left through the palm trees. It didn't
make any
noise nor issue any smoke. The only thing I'm sure of is its size: more or
less
the size of a pickup truck tire, or thereabouts."
"When my son showed it to me, I thought it was a kite or a parachutist,
since
skydivers drop over EXPOCUBA every so often! After, as it came down, I
realized
that it could be nothing of the sort, since it was smaller and glowed a
lot. It
looked like a mirror,"said Odalis, Raul Beltran's mother.

#12. My Atlantis (by Doug Yurchey)
The human race did not originate from apes. Our genesis was not in the
Garden
of Eden. Science and Religion, these huge institutions, are both
incorrect.
They are wrong in the respect that our beginnings were simple. Primates or
Adam
and Eve; both Creation theories/stories consider the early human race on
Earth
as primitive.
More than 90% of everyone is either:
1. agnostic and believes in Evolution, or
2. a part of some organized religion in the sense that they think 'God did
it.'
Science and Religion errs because: Physical evidence indicate that our
ancestors were ADVANCED. They possessed high technology. Sorry, Mr. Von
Daniken, but aliens were not needed to accelerate the progress of Earthly
primates. Instead, a super-metropolis existed on a global scale tens of
thousands of years ago: ATLANTIS. The human race began in a super-society
that
landed here! {Read World Mysteries & Farshores articles: Wireless World
and
More on the World Wireless to discover that Tesla/wireless principles
powered
Atlantis. Also, the locations of the Atlantean colonies are pictured}.

#13. The Atlantis Tesla Connection on CD-ROM Disc
We are posting this message here because Doug is a long-time contributor
of
quality newsletter articles for our newsletter. I know that for me, it is
much
easier for me to read books on the computer than in a printed format.
Please
consider purchasing the signed CD-ROM disc...
HI. I am Doug Yurchey; author of 'The Atlantis Tesla Connection' and I am
pleased to announce (before its publication) a signed cd-rom disc of my
entire
manuscript. This could be a big collector's item as I believe I've
written the
New Chariots of the Gods. I am selling the disc for $10.00 which includes
its
case, cover-art, mailer and postage. It is nearly 300 pages in Microsoft
Word
that contain revolutionary and unique ideas never before published. The
disc
also has photographs, graphic illustrations and beautiful artwork.
If you are interested in purchasing this informative collector's item,
simply
send $10.00 cash, check or M.O. to: Doug Yurchey - 18615 Bryant
Street -
Northridge, CA. 91324.
The following is a list of concepts covered in the manuscript: A new
view of
Tesla, Atlantis and their incredible relation****p; Tesla's wireless system
is
the system of the future and solves the mysteries in the distant past; the
locations of Atlantis are illustrated as well as what powered this long
lost
empire; Human History is completely rewritten; personal letters from the
man
who may have been Tesla's son!; the most extensive study of High
Technology in
the BIBLE; a new look at Nostrodamus and how he has predicted current
events;
the reality of the work of Edgar Cayce, reincarnation and the Shroud of
Turin;
new views on space or how things we assume are natural are really
artificial
and the result of ancient intelligences; personal experiences and an
exclusive
interview of Uri Geller; my prediction of the 10th planet's distance came
true!
(There are e-mails from a number of you who will receive this e-mail in a
large
E-mail Section). There is also an expanded interview of me where I
describe my
Close Encounter back in the 70s and a number of amazing experiences and
information.
Finally, there are my Grand Conclusions of the ancient past and the far
future;
how they could be exactly the same. In these pages, there is the possible
Purpose of the Human Race!
These are unique and positive revelations. 30 years of research has been
synthesized into a convincing theory that THE PAST WAS THE FUTURE AND THE
FUTURE WILL BE THE PAST. No other book will ever teach you more.
