I: Typical parabolic or hyperbolic meteor path—would produce a minimum angle of 30 degrees when viewed at Toronto, rather than the horizontal flight witnessed. Rejected by almost all scholars.

II: Satellite(s) of earth—would fulfill the observational data; raises, and leaves unanswered, many dilemmas, however (see text).

III: Alien life form movement—whether organisms or their mechanical devices, the records can remain intact while problems of celestial mechanics inherent in I and II are overcome.

NOTES TO APPENDIX IV

1.Numbers in brackets refer to works listed in the References section, found at the end of Appendix IV.

2.Again an important clue to the fact that this object was organic rather than mineral. Constable theorizes, upon experimental evidence, that critters function on orgone energy (so designated by Dr. Wilhelm Reich). Concentrations of orgone energy are known to attract aqueous vapor. The implication should be obvious.

3.That an assortment of amino acids, the building blocks of life as known on earth, has been detected in deep space should dampen objections that preclude the development and existence of life forms in the “hostile” environment between planets and solar systems.

4.Editor’s note (of L’Astronomie)—The observation of Bonilla is very interesting, but it is not easy to explain. The dates of the twelfth and thirteenth of August make one think of the meteors of those dates (Perseids), but it would be singular if none were seen at Mexico or Puebla. Were they birds? We tend to believe that it is a case of birds, or insects, or high dust—in any case, of corpuscles appearing in our atmosphere.

5.One supporting example: Walter H. Stevenson, of Fenlon Falls, northeast of Toronto, drew a picture of what he witnessed: seven bright “stars” trailed by a reddish glow, then a bright object as brilliant as Venus, followed by several reddish clusters, and finally a “shower of red meteors.”

6.Strangely, even when they seem to find what they’re looking for, they discount it (officially, at least). At the time of this writing, the first Viking lander on Mars was transmitting data from the red planet. This project—ostensibly to detect Martian life—drained the American coffers by $1 billion. What did this expenditure uncover? For one thing, on July 25, 1976:

New close-up pictures of the Chryse Plain on Mars revealed what appeared to be a rock bearing the Roman letters “B” and “G” and the Arabic numeral “2.” Scientists said the characters were optical illusions, caused by shadowing.

“People are great at imagining things,” said Dr. Carl Sagan. Dr. Bruce Murray, JPL director, agreed.

But [James] Martin, an aeronautical engineer [and Viking project manager], said he wasn’t so sure.

“I could see the ‘B’ very well, but I guess I’ve got to accept the scientific word for it,” he said. “If I were a newsman I would wonder how a shadow could reach all the way around.”

He said he was somewhat hesitant to rule out possibilities.

“There are no Martians there,” Martin said. “But who knows, who has been there at some time?” [44, p. 1; italics added].

The alphabet rock was mentioned on the late evening (July 25) ABC-TV news and appeared (as above) within an AP release from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on July 26. Then silence. Martin seems to condescend to the consensus of authority.

Viking is American; the figures are English. Why aren’t these “shadows” amorphous or Chinese, if natural? Bacteria are a safe (secure) find—but “Microbes can’t write!” Hmm—

7. O’Keefe first asserts the Cyrillids were “individually in orbit for many revolutions before they were seen” [39, p. 6]; with non-uniform bodies experiencing different drags, their entries would occur at varying times and be “spread over a number of revolutions [39, p. 6]. This refutes the observations. He later tries the theory of one large body which begins to melt (not fracture) in the upper atmosphere, whereupon the faster-moving particles eventually lap the parent body in orbit, at which time all particles simultaneously become visible over Canada [39, p. 7]. This sounds contrived; but then O’Keefe volunteers a statement that negates both his concepts about a lithoid origin: “Numerical integrations have failed to show any way in which the members of such a shower could disappear in one revolution” [39, p. 6; italics added].

BOOKS MENTIONED OR RELATING TO

THE COSMIC PULSE OF LIFE

THE FLYING SAUCERS ARE REAL, by Donald Keyhoe. Was the first in depth, authoritative look at flying saucers and to this day is considered one of the best books on the subject ever written. Well researched with documented facts, containing none of the disinformation and hype that has crept into the field over time. The author was a retired Marine Corps Major who became an aviation writer, and was therefore perfect for researching and writing this book. Using his own knowledge and information from friends in the military, he came to the conclusion that UFOs are from somewhere else and the U.S. military was engaged in a cover-up. Shows how and why the veil of government secrecy was put into place and enforced. ISBN 978-1-58509-264-2 * 156 pages * $15.95

THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED, by Charles Fort. Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs—nearly a century after being published, the strange phenomena in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Fort spent his time collecting reports of strange events, sent to him from publications around the globe. This was his first book on unusual and unexplained events and to this day, remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you. ISBN 978-1- 58509-278-9 * 228 pages * $18.95

THE COMING OF THE GUARDIANS: An Interpretation of the “Flying Saucers” as Given from the Other Side of Life, by Meade Layne. Where do UFOs really come from? Layne holds an inter-dimensional, etheric-based theory. Those from other realms he terms as “Etherians” and the UFOs themselves are sometimes living creatures, referred to as “aeroforms.” Much of the information is corroborated or comes directly from intelligences that were channeled through Mark Probert, the most authentic and amazing medium of his time. Do not dismiss this kind of material without first considering its message. Covers propulsion systems, vibrational frequencies, and the sudden appearance of these craft more clearly than any scientifically based book one could find. ISBN 978- 1-58509-525-4 * 100 pages * $14.95

THE MAGIC BAG, by Mark Probert. His classic work. Introduction by Meade Layne. Reveals great wisdom and amazing truths from “The Inner Circle”—the group of spiritual entities that were allowed to speak through Mark. Covers time and space, the nature of the cosmos, creation, the Etherians, and much more. The few people still alive who knew him will attest to the fact that there was no better trance medium than Probert. ISBN 1-58509-258-4 * 196 pages * $12.95
